Chapter 155: Engaging in Battle

  Guo Fei found that since he had been practicing the "Canye Heart Method", his soul power had greatly increased, and his spiritual strength had also gradually strengthened. Under the nourishment of the original yuanqi, his life and soul were strong and healthy, and the range of his divine thoughts was also greatly expanded. Within a radius of one kilometer, he could contact various troops and their sights and sounds could be accurately transmitted into his mind through the soldiers' symbolic space. Guo Fei used this to command them, giving them instructions through his divine thoughts, directing the battlefield from the center.

  The battlefield relies on command, smooth command, and twice the result with half the effort. Each type of soldier cooperates with each other, left and right flanking, that's what they call "cool". Guo Fei tried it out, after his military symbol space was upgraded, he could enhance the transmission distance of his divine thoughts, presumably through communication with the troops. His own soul power increased, and his divine thoughts also strengthened.

  Since his body had become increasingly powerful, he could fully withstand the energy of the military in the short term, so Guo Fei didn't have too many worries and let loose, killing wildly in all directions, planning to quickly improve his cultivation.

  I just measured my own combat power. If I didn't have the energy of the soldiers, my own cultivation would be just barely entering the Yuan realm, which is the lowest level of a martial artist in the Wu Zong.

  The Wuzong boundary is roughly divided into three levels: primary, intermediate, and advanced. Practitioners often refer to the high-level infinite approach to the state of enlightenment as the Wuzong Dàyuánmǎn Boundary.

  Considering Guo Fei's current cultivation, if he adds the power of his military skills, his cultivation would be at the high-level Wu Zong stage. If he also uses the Xuan Tie Sword, a sacred artifact, then combining these two factors together, Guo Fei estimates that he could reach the Wu Zong Da Yuan Man boundary, and even fight against a Venerable, but only if the Venerable does not possess an extremely powerful sacred artifact or an overbearing ultimate technique.

  But from Miao Yu, I learned that Zhao Guo is located in a remote corner, the level of cultivators is relatively low, and compared to the vast Northern Plains, it's like heaven and earth. Moreover, among several continents, the Northern Plains belong to a harsh and cold land, with scarce cultivation resources, making it impossible to compare with other continents, so naturally, there are not many high-level cultivators.

  Since he was going to Zhongzhou, Guo Fei had a lot of pressure on himself. His only powerful soldier was Tianhunzi, but as a ghost soldier, he couldn't be seen in public often, especially when walking among humans. Therefore, Guo Fei didn't recruit many ghost soldiers, after all, the number of soldiers in the symbol space was limited. However, summoning soldiers from the human or demon tribes required their willingness, otherwise it would cause a lot of trouble. So the way to increase his strength was still to improve his cultivation, thus Guo Fei felt that improving his own cultivation was the top priority.

  Kuo Fei transformed into a sword soldier and launched a massacre. The energy of the soldiers is now provided by the "source" in his body, which can be replenished immediately after depletion, making his attack extremely strong. However, Kuo Fei was also exceptionally cautious, monitoring the situation of the tower-shaped source in his lungs. Once he consumed too much, he would stop, because if the source tower is over-consumed, it will shrink, and the light on top will dim. Moreover, if it is over-consumed, it will be difficult to replenish, which will harm his own realm.

  So, Guo Fei only used the yuanqi stored in the tower to replenish the energy of his troops when he had nothing else to do. The energy of the troops would slowly condense, and it could be said that it was a case of "half the work for twice the result". Unlike other cultivators who needed to constantly sit in meditation and circulate their heart method to condense yuanqi into their source.

  The Xuan Tie sword transformed into a flowing light, its shadow flickering as it wildly slaughtered the Huo Fox tribe's people. In Guo Fei's observation, the battlefield was currently in a stalemate phase. Only after annihilating all the lower-level demon foxes and then slaughtering the higher-level Huo Fox tribe members could they quickly resolve this matter.

  Kuo Fei wielded the flying sword, slaughtering lower-level demon foxes as easily as chopping vegetables. The consumption of yuanqi by the Xuan Tie Sword was not great either. Previously, when killing the Huo Fox tribe, the Xuan Tie Sword had consumed half of its stored energy in one go from the explosion of the demonic aura. Now, slaughtering lower-level demon foxes almost allowed it to be self-sufficient. Moreover, after this upgrade, the Xuan Tie Sword not only increased its stored energy but also accelerated its automatic absorption of yuanqi from the heavens and earth.

  At one time, Guo Fei led the ghost soldier team to search for caves and camps in the Huohu Valley one by one, killing a large number of low-ranking foxes, even those who had not transformed were beheaded by the ghost soldiers.

  "Whoa!" He suddenly felt a huge surge of energy injected into his body, and his martial arts energy was instantly replenished. He had advanced to become a 7th-level Sword Guard. The sword aura emitted by the Sword Edge Slash had become much thicker, and through gradual upgrades, Guo Fei had discovered that his martial arts skills were gradually strengthening along with his advancements in rank. These were skills that could be upgraded and evolved, which made Guo Fei extremely delighted.

  "The Earth Spirit Squad and the Evil Spirit Squad will continue to search, while the Giant Spirit Squad will help besiege the remaining people!" Guo Fei gave a brief order and returned to the battlefield where Shi Lou was located.

  At this time, the elder of the Huo Fox tribe, along with An Guogong's human guards, had only eight people left, but these few were clearly fighting desperately. Several Huo Fox tribe leaders took out their demonic spirits, and flames shot up to the sky, with an extremely grand momentum. Hu Xiaoyue was obviously injured, with fresh blood spouting from her mouth, but fortunately, Liang Tie rode on a Double-Headed Jiao, this king beast's attack power was fierce, its demonic spirit transformed into a giant snake-shaped light shadow, blocking the Huo Fox tribe's demonic spirits outside.

  Lengdao and Jinying fought against Anguo Gong's two guards, Jinying was fine, but Lengdao was already at a disadvantage, fortunately his black bear was very overbearing and barely held on.

  "Hiss!" Guo Fei swiftly unleashed a "Sword Tip Slash", taking down one of the Cold Blade assassins with a single sword strike. In an instant, he leapt forward, his Xuan Tie Sword emitting a dazzling sword aura as it slew another assassin.

  Lengdao was taken aback, feeling a hint of bitterness. He and Guo Fei had once been evenly matched, but now he had been left far behind by Guo Fei. However, he had recently discovered the reason for Guo Fei's rapid progress, and he himself had also advanced to become a third-level axe cavalryman.

  "Thank you, young master!" Lengdao said in a low voice, bowing his head and speaking for the first time, seemingly extremely reluctant. He quickly turned around and charged towards the remaining people.

  The addition of Jù Líng Zhàn Duì and Guō Fēi quickly resolved the elders of the Huǒ Hú Zú, the captain of Jù Líng Zhàn Duì was promoted to seventh-level Corpse Demon, his cultivation had already reached the high level of Ghost General, plus the top-grade treasure in his hand, his attack power was astonishing.

  Jin Ying and Liang Tiefeng sealed the evil spirit, and led the ghost soldiers to tidy up the battlefield. Guo Fei looked at Anguo Gong and Tianhunzi who were still fighting fiercely in the sky, and couldn't help but frown.

  "Guo Fei, I'll help you!" Miao Yu sighed and took a few steps forward.

  "Thanks for your help!" Guo Fei smiled and nodded, handing the green jade staff from the military symbol space to Miao Yu.

  Miao Yu smiled slightly and held the jade staff in her hand, both of them tacitly understanding that if she didn't lend a hand, Guo Fei wouldn't return the staff to her.

  "Hiss!" Miao Yu's hand, holding the jade staff, emitted a pale blue light beam that rapidly condensed into an esoteric symbol in mid-air. The symbol flashed and a pale blue light strip swiftly shot towards An Guo Gong, binding him. A chilling aura emanated from the strip, causing the surrounding air to instantly freeze into shards of ice.

  An Guogong, who was currently fighting against Tianhunzi, was shocked and swung his long spear, emitting a dazzling light that shot towards Dai Zi.

  "Hum, hum!" The light strip slammed onto the long spear at the same time, emitting a muffled sound. Then the strip curved and wrapped around Anguo Gong's body. A red glow flashed outside Anguo Gong's body, and a flame shield blocked this light strip. Tianhunzi seized the opportunity, and in mid-air, a gigantic misty palm instantly condensed, slapping down and sending Anguo Gong crashing to the ground.
