Chapter 177 Cao Jie wants to fight the devil
Man follows the earth, the earth follows the sky, the sky follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature!
Laozi used a method of connecting the heavens and the earth to explain the laws of life of the heavens, the earth, humans, and even the entire universe. "Tao follows nature" reveals the characteristics of the entire universe and encompasses the attributes of all things in the world. All things in the universe follow the "natural" laws of "Tao".
Fan Rui's ability to turn day into night is not actually a great supernatural power. He does not have the ability to turn the world upside down and reverse yin and yang.
Simply put, it's just a trick.
Use the mind to deceive others and interfere with the five senses.
So in the eyes of the Liangshan heroes, it became a pitch-black night where one could not see one's hand in front of one's face.
As for the leaders and minions on Mangdang Mountain, they were naturally not affected because they were not disturbed.
Even though the central army is far away, it will not be affected.
"Brother, what happened to the brothers?" Jiao Ting jumped anxiously.
Liu Tang was also eager to take action, and just waited for Cao Jie's order to go forward to rescue people.
Even Chen Liqing was ready to go, her face full of excitement.
"It's okay, my five senses are just blinded. Brother Li Jun on the left wing and brother Zhang Heng on the right wing have huddled together. The three demons of Mangdang Mountain cannot touch them at all. But Li Kui... with his ability, he is still protected by Chao Gai and Xiao Qi!"
"I'm so angry! I'm so angry!"
Apparently, Fan Rui had not mastered this technique to the fullest. It could only block vision but not hearing.
If one could block the five senses, that would be considered a great supernatural power.
Li Kui shouted loudly, and actually broke the Taoist magic.
With everyone's cultivation level, having their vision blocked doesn't matter. They can still fight with their eyes closed.
So, Chao Gai, Ruan Xiaoqi and the brothers from the left and right wings gathered around Li Kui after hearing the noise.
"Brother Li Kui, don't be impatient. Let's work together to break this demon's magical power."
Xiang Chong and Li Gun, seeing that their sneak attack could not harm anyone, boldly pressed forward.
As expected, the first ones to fight against the Liangshan heroes were not their real bodies, but the "Eight-Armed Nezha" and the "Flying Monkey King".
It actually condensed into two gods that were as tall and upright as real entities.
"Take a stick from my old grandson!"
The Flying Monkey King was flying all over the sky at a speed as fast as a ghost.
When the stick came down with a loud bang, circles of space ripples appeared at the end of the stick, as if the stick had directly disrupted the space and seemed to have broken it.
Chao Gai stood still, yet he responded to all changes with the same attitude. As the stick came down, he raised his hands and actually caught the blow with his hands.
Suddenly, tinkling sounds were heard in the air, like pearls big and small falling on a jade plate, and the crisp sounds were endless. One was attacking, the other was defending, and the sky was full of the figure of the Flying Monkey King, like a continuous rainstorm, and the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King was like a rock in the rainstorm.
At the same time, the eight-armed Nezha faced off against the three Hunjianglong men. It was quite lively for a while.
Ou Peng also used his true Qi to perform the Mo Yun Golden Wings, and actually grew a pair of wings, transforming into a Dapeng bird to fight with the Monkey King.
Cao Jie did not intervene and let them fight each other.
Sure enough, not long after, the three demons Fan Rui, Xiang Chong and Li Gun could no longer hold on.
A few gongs sounded, "clang, clang, clang", but it was the signal to call off the troops and they dared not fight anymore.
Taking advantage of the blocked vision, the leaders and followers of Mangdang Mountain successfully retreated to the mountain stronghold.
Fan Rui rode on his horse and gritted his teeth and said, "This group of strong men are indeed extraordinary, but I, Fan Rui, cannot display my magical powers in the daytime. When night falls, I will sneak attack his camp and capture Xiao Mengde and Yan Wangdi to spread my reputation." Cao Jie also thought to himself: Although I have half a step into the Day Travel Realm, I can only be regarded as the peak of the Night Travel Realm. I can't display my magical powers in the daytime. When night falls, I have the protection of the Treasure Moonlight King and can control the Red Haired Ghost to break the side door magic of the Mixed World Demon King.
At this moment, Chen Xizhen's disgusting voice came to my ears.
"I thought you were so powerful, but you were helpless against a little devil who practiced unorthodox methods. Haha... If I take action, a bolt of lightning will be able to break his methods and knock out all his skills."
"Have you forgotten that day at Mount Lu?"
"Humph! I have the great power of thunder magic, which is specially used to destroy the evil spirits in the world!"
"Have you forgotten Mount Lu?"
"How can you, the heroes of Liangshan, compare with me and my daughter?"
"Lushan!"
"..."
Chen Liqing pulled her old father aside, fearing that he might die suddenly.
Chen Xizhen gritted his teeth and squatted aside, shutting himself in.
There is no such thing as invincibility in the world's magical powers and martial arts. It's just that one thing can overcome another.
No matter how powerful Chen Xizhen's thunder magic is, as long as he finds a way to defeat the enemy, Li Kui can chop him into pulp with just a few axes; and no matter how brave Li Kui is, he will be blinded by Fan Rui's magic.
At the foot of the mountain, the leaders of the rear army had cooperated with Gongsun Sheng to roughly lay out the "Eight Formations Diagram".
This is the method of arranging stones into formations by Zhuge Kongming, one of the Three Kingdoms in the late Han Dynasty: divide them into 64 teams in all directions, with the general in the middle; they rotate left and right according to the forces of the heaven and earth, and the shapes of dragons, tigers, birds and snakes.
"When the bandits from Mangdang Mountain come down the mountain and rush into the battle formation, people will come from all directions to serve them."
"When the time comes, I will use my magic to trap these three people in the formation. I will dig a pit on the ground and force them to go there. Then we can ambush them from both sides and capture them alive."
"Although this formation is simplified again and again, it is enough to capture them alive. After all, the opponent is not that beautiful Zhou Lang!"
"it is good!"
Cao Jie clapped his hands and said with a smile: "It's almost night, let me take care of the next battle!"
"How can I let my brother take risks?!"
Li Jun shook his head and said, "Let me wait for my brother to fight again. This time we don't seek to capture the three demons, but only to lure them down the mountain."
"Yeah! There's no reason to let my brother go on stage in person."
"If my brother goes to fight, what use is there for me, Tie Niu? I can't hit him... If Mr. Yiqing goes to fight, my brother can't go to fight either."
Cao Jie laughed, "Brothers, don't worry! Listen to me and tell you slowly. I didn't go up to fight in person, but I used magic to fight the devil. Look at Chao Gai, Xiao Qi, Liu Tang and other brothers, how could they be impatient?"
"You don't know my brother's magical power." Liu Tang said proudly: "Tonight, I will let you see what a real red-haired ghost is."
"Brother Liu Tang, how is my magical power related to your nickname?"
"I am an evil spirit under my brother's command. When we go into battle, I will naturally be the vanguard."
At this time, the setting sun completely sank into the hills, and the world fell into darkness.
It was gloomy on the Mangdang Mountain. The leaves were blown by the night wind, making bursts of rustling sounds, accompanied by the whistling wind, blending into a desolate and eerie nocturne.
What a huge mountain! Against the backdrop of the night, it looks like a giant beast trapped in a devil’s cave, exuding a demonic aura.
