Chapter 225 Mirror Image Battle
On the battlefield of Luoyang City,

With the arrival of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's armies, this bloody battlefield was filled with uncertainty.

Originally, Wang Ming and Li Shimin fought to a draw, with both sides suffering losses. No one won and no one lost.

Wang Ming originally wanted to turn this war that involved millions of people into a competition between masters.

On the one hand, this would narrow the gap in numbers between himself and Li Shimin, and on the other hand, fewer people would die. To put it bluntly, this was nothing more than a struggle for interests among a few high-level figures.

Although Wang Ming's strength was severely depleted, he would be able to recover as long as You Chuhong and the others could hold on for a while.

Then push everything aside.

But with the arrival of Li Jiancheng, all of Wang Ming's plans were disrupted.

At the beginning, Wang Ming and Li Shimin both thought that Li Jiancheng would definitely use the strategy of pacifying the country before fighting the enemy and kill their good brother.

In no mood!

Li Jiancheng actually resisted this tempting opportunity and reached a consensus with Li Shimin.

Let’s first capture Luoyang City and kill Yang Guang.

In fact, Li Jiancheng's original idea was to kill his stupid Ou Doudou first.

Their original plan was to lie in ambush and wait for the time when Li Shimin and the enemy were both defeated, and then come out to reap the benefits.

but!

Subsequent developments exceeded their expectations.

Things didn't go the way they thought.

First, Kou Zhong surrendered for no apparent reason, making Li Shimin unprecedentedly powerful.

Li Jiancheng was so scared that he was about to give up his plan to ambush Li Shimin.

As a result, his extremely powerful brother Li Shimin was defeated.

The defeat was so sudden.
The white is so magical,
The defeat was so unreasonable.

Li Jiancheng was really frightened by Wang Ming's move.

Fear,
Scared,

So he did not attack his good brother Li Shimin right away.

Li Jiancheng was extremely grateful that his soldiers had been resting far away and had not seen the magical rain, otherwise his soldiers would have surely mutinied.

The rain was so terrible that it directly caused Li Shimin's two million troops to collapse.

It was like a miracle.

At the same time, the sound of heavy rain covered up the soldiers' howling.

Li Shimin's two million troops were now all lying on the ground.

Lying quietly on the muddy yellow earth.

They were not dead, they were just unconscious.

Tortured by the [Life and Death Talisman], he passed out.

Although most of the soldiers in this world have some martial arts skills, they are still ordinary people after all.

They couldn't bear the numbness, itching and pain that tortured them for hours.

Those who really can't bear that kind of people will not be tortured by the [Life and Death Talisman]. They have the ability to force the [Life and Death Talisman] out of their bodies.

If it is said that Liu Bang's empire was thanks to these three people: Zhang Liang, Han Xin and Xiao He.

Li Yuan was able to conquer the world thanks to his two eldest sons.

The eldest son Li Jiancheng was in charge of all government affairs, and he played the role of Xiao He.

The second son, Li Shimin, was in charge of all foreign wars and did Han Xin's work.

Li Jiancheng was responsible for the food and rear security of Li Shimin's army, so naturally he could get the good things first.

Therefore, the troops brought by Li Jiancheng were all elite troops, many of whom were cavalry, and their equipment was also very sophisticated.

It was for this reason that Li Jiancheng dared to take advantage of Li Shimin with an army of 200,000.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Li Jiancheng's army continued to press towards Luoyang City, picking up the siege equipment of Li Shimin's army on the spot, intending to attack the city.

Yang You said angrily: "Li Jiancheng is such a fool. He didn't kill Li Shimin, the biggest threat to the succession to the throne, first, but came to attack Luoyang."

After saying this, he turned around to look at the Luoyang city defenders who were lying limp on the ground and sighed helplessly.

He continued, "Grandpa Emperor, are we really out of options?"

You Chuhong and Dugu Feng also looked at Wang Ming.

Wang Ming sighed and said, "There are many ways, but without exception, there is not enough time."

Yang You punched the stone of the city wall, his face full of unwillingness.

Wang Mingdao: "Pass the order and let the soldiers open the city and surrender! There is no need to let them die in vain."

Yang You said dejectedly: "Yes!"

Wang Ming continued, "We will leave together later. With our martial arts skills, they won't be able to stop us from escaping."

The king dies for the country?
Wang Ming is not that stupid. Besides, it was not Wang Ming who destroyed the world. It was Yang Guang who ruined it himself.

The throne!

It was just the responsibility that Wang Ming took over when he took over his body. Wang Ming believed that he had done his best for Yang Guang over the years.

According to the original development, Yang You would have been dead long ago, and the Sui Dynasty would have become a puppet dynasty long ago. Now Wang Ming has helped maintain it for so many years, which is very kind of him.

Wang Ming glanced at the horizon and sighed, "What a shame! Time is not on my side after all!"

After saying this, Wang Ming wanted to leave from the back.

In no mood!

An overwhelming momentum pressed down on Wang Ming.

Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, Shi Feixuan, Song Que, and Ning Daoqi released powerful auras to lock onto Wang Ming.

There were a few more people.

They were Zhu Yuyan and Wanwan from the Demon Sect. However, they only released their aura from a distance and had no intention of moving forward.

This was actually a compromise made by Fan Qinghui and others out of helplessness. They would rather surrender to Li Jiancheng than to Yang Guang.

During the years that Wang Ming was in power, he carried out drastic reforms in Luoyang.

Seeing these policies, Fan Qinghui and the others were frightened.

Correct!
Scared!

There is no soil for them to survive in Luoyang City.

If they surrendered to Wang Ming, their sect would not be able to develop.

Do not!
It should be said that even survival is difficult.

The monks in Luoyang have no land, the monks in Luoyang have to pay taxes, the monks in Luoyang have to take exams, and Luoyang even has a system that requires the monks in Luoyang to serve five years of military service.

When Fan Qinghui heard this, she felt it was outrageous!
So at this time, Fan Qinghui would rather let Li Jiancheng win than let Yang Guang turn the tables.

Although Li Jiancheng has the investment of the Demonic Sect behind him, Fan Qinghui does not think that the Demonic Sect can really destroy the Buddhist Sect.

If the imperial power is to be stable, the most important thing is balance.

Even if the Demon Sect invests first, they will only get a larger share when it comes to rewarding merits, and the Buddhist Sect will still not suffer any real damage.

Because after Li Jiancheng ascended the throne, he would definitely need Buddhism to check and balance the evil sect.

But Yang Guang didn't need to, because there was no force in his system that he couldn't control.

Even the Dugu clan would not pose any trouble to Yang Guang.

If the world is taken over by Yang Guang, Buddhism will definitely be liquidated.

Even if we take a step back, if Yang Guang did not settle the accounts, he would just be implementing Luoyang's laws and policies throughout the world, which would be a disaster for their Buddhist sect.

The five masters continued to press towards Wang Ming.

Soon, several people started fighting. Wang Ming wanted to leave, but they were entangled too tightly and it was difficult to get away. Wang Ming had no choice but to lead them down the city and fight them, not wanting to hurt his own people.

Originally, Wang Ming thought that Song Que and Ning Daoqi would take the initiative to fight him.

I didn't expect them to come and beat me.

Song Que went to fight with Dugu Feng, while Ning Daoqi, Yang You and You Chuhong confronted each other.

Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling and Shi Feixuan rushed towards Wang Ming.

At this time, Wang Ming's true energy was not sufficient, so he naturally could not float in the air. Instead, he stood on the ground with his feet, waiting for their attack.

Wang Ming looked calmly at the three people who pounced on him, without any sense of panic at being besieged by three grand masters.

When the three approached Wang Ming, they immediately released the attack they had been planning for a long time.

"Boom!!!"

The three of them were all shaken away, and in an instant the energy around them began to boil, then surged in all directions.

They didn't care and rushed forward to attack Wang Ming like a rain of pear blossoms.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

The fierce battle continued, and they bombarded Wang Ming with all kinds of strange moves.

After a while,
Xu Ziling shouted, "How do you know the Immortal Seal?"

Kou Zhong and Shi Feixuan simultaneously dispersed their looming murderous aura and looked at Xu Ziling blankly instead.

Wang Ming thought to himself: "What a pity!"

Kou Zhong and Shi Feixuan's fear of Wang Ming increased to a new level.

During this period of fighting, I didn't achieve anything else, but I was filled with anger.

Kou Zhong and Shi Feixuan's energetic energy would occasionally be directed towards each other, with the intent of killing them.

They think once is normal, twice is an accident, three times is carelessness, and four... that is intentional.

The murderous intent in their eyes when they looked at each other was almost solidified.

After all, the two of them are not friends. In a sense, they are out-and-out enemies.

If it weren't for Xu Ziling, they would have turned their swords against each other long ago.

The occasional attacks made them suspicious of each other, wondering if the other party wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of them.

Only after Xu Ziling finished speaking did their suspicions temporarily disappear.

Wang Ming said coldly: "Not all attacks that can be transferred are [Immortal Seal]. Today, I will show you what [Star Shift] means."

After saying this, Wang Ming formed a strange hand seal with his fingers and said softly: "【Outer Lion Seal】"

Previously, in order to stir up conflict between Kou Zhong and Shi Feixuan, Wang Ming used [The Change of Stars] quite covertly, but now Wang Ming simply did not hide it.

Xu Ziling was shocked, thinking to himself, "How did Yang Guang know my special moves? Never mind! I want to see how strong this fake one is."

"boom!!!"

The energy released by both sides collided, and Xu Ziling's attack was defeated in the blink of an eye.

If Kou Zhong hadn't pulled him in time, he would have been seriously injured by this move.

Xu Ziling said in disbelief: "How come my attack became stronger in his hands?"

Shi Feixuan consoled him, "The Sui Dynasty once ruled the world, so it's not surprising that they have the Nine-Character Mantra. It's probably because his skills are more profound than yours, Ziling, because it's stronger."

Xu Ziling nodded.

Kou Zhong refused to believe it and said, "Today I want to see how you can use my [Eight Methods of the Well] to harm me."

After saying that, he swung the knife with the momentum of Five Horses and chopped towards Wang Ming.

Wang Ming calmly reached into his wide robe with his right hand.

A strange long sword appeared in his hand. The whole sword was golden, with serrated teeth on one side and an ordinary blade on the other.

"Ding!"

Kou Zhong repeated Xu Ziling's embarrassment and was defeated by his own unique skills.

Kou Zhong was now extremely confused, as Xu Ziling was defeated by the same move. It might be because Yang Guang's palace had rich treasury and the [Nine-Character Mantra], but his [Eight Methods in the Well] was a sword technique he created himself!

After defeating Kou Zhong several hundred times, Wang Ming put the weapon in his hand back on his robe, and his hands were empty again.

Shi Feixuan said: "That kind of situation is impossible. Even if the moves are the same, they won't have our mental method."

After saying this, Shi Feixuan used [Cihang Sword Canon] to kill Wang Ming.

Wang Ming reached into his robe with his right hand again, and a black sword appeared in his hand.

Wang Ming took the things out from the storage space, but he just wanted to hide it, so he reached into his clothes.

This golden knife and black sword are actually the ancestral weapons of Gongsun Zhi, the master of Jueqing Valley.

This pair of weapons is actually very good and can be considered a top-quality product.

In the Valley of Unrequited Love, Wang Ming obtained four weapons. He left the Gentleman Sword and the Lady Sword to Li Mochou, and placed the golden sword and the black sword in the storage space.

Shi Feixuan circulated her true energy and attacked Wang Ming. The sword carried a sword shadow in the air and pressed down towards Wang Ming.

The black sword in Wang Ming's hand and Shi Feixuan's colored and empty sword collided and rubbed against each other, causing a series of sparks.

It cannot be said that their moves are unrelated, it can only be said that they are exactly the same.

Shi Feixuan was slapped in the face by her own martial arts moves.

Wang Ming's power had not been fully recovered at this time, and he didn't want to consume more power, so he didn't use martial arts such as [Six Meridians Divine Sword] which consumed a lot of power.

In fact, Wang Ming had already figured out Kou Zhong and the others' martial arts.

Wang Ming, who has practiced [Great Shift of the Universe], is very clear about the use of internal energy in all martial arts in the world. He can analyze the routes of people's internal energy application from their moves.

Of course, the internal strength cannot be seen through. It is limited to the external strength. Any strength that kills the enemy can be said to be the external strength.

In addition, Wang Ming also has the [Small Wuxiang Magic Art] which can drive the corresponding energy route without the need for any mental method.

Kou Zhong was surprised and asked, "How did you learn our martial arts?"

Wang Mingdao: "Is it difficult? You will learn it after watching it once."

Several people looked at each other, feeling inexplicably horrified. They could tell at a glance that the opponent of their moves was very scary.

Originally, they would not be afraid of people who use the same moves and martial arts as themselves.

However, Kou Zhong and his companions discovered that the same moves and martial arts would be stronger than their own.

This is the power of [I Am the Only One in the Eight Desolations and Six Directions], which enhances the power of every move of the practitioner.

[The Eight Desolations and Six Directions, I Am the Only One in the World] strengthens the power.

【Xiao Wuxiang Gong】is compatible with all mental methods.

[Great Shift of the Universe] allows one to analyze at a glance the power-generating techniques of other people's external martial arts moves.

When it really doesn't work, try [The Change of Stars].

It can be said that Kou Zhong and his men are fighting against a fully strengthened version of themselves.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

On the other side, Song Que and Ning Daoqi were actually just paddling.

They were observing Wang Ming's martial arts so that they could gain an advantage in the next battle.

But all they saw was Xu Ziling and his men's martial arts, which made them quite disappointed.

But they were also quite vigilant. Yang Guang could learn other people's martial arts after just watching them once, and could use them more powerfully than the original.

This is simply taking someone else's path, when others have no path to take.

They were extremely astonished by Yang Guang's talent in martial arts.

In fact, they misunderstood and thought that Wang Ming could understand other people's minds in an instant.

The moves are easy to learn, but the mentality is difficult to understand.

Now Song Que and Ning Daoqi were a little afraid to fight with all their might. They also didn't want their martial arts to be seen through by Wang Ming, which would cause them to suffer losses in the subsequent battles.
