Chapter 52: Leading the troops personally to conquer the enemy territory 

(Part 2)

Smoke and dust surge into the blue sky, banners and flags are seen winding away.

Hunting fires burn in the West Gate, swords and iron horses are in chaos;

Before the emperor, the warriors crossed their swords.

When blood blades face each other, break the formation and slay millions!

The winter sunshine is very faint and cold. The cold wind blew the flags, making them rustle.

Outside Luomen Pass, a large black army was approaching. At the front, Si Cang Qing was wearing white armor 

and riding on Han Qing. He had an indifferent expression as usual, staring coldly at the approaching Luomen 

Pass.

After traveling a certain distance, the gates of Luomeng Pass swung wide open, and countless soldiers rushed out 

shouting. 

Before long, the army of Guangyu Kingdom quickly surrounded Si Cang Qing's army, with the soldiers on the 

other side running in different directions while shouting loudly.

They were testing each other, but neither of them really took any action, as if they were just competing in 

endurance. Si Cang Qing sat steadily on the horse, no longer looking at the crowd, with his eyelids slightly 

drooped, thinking about something.

The soldiers of the Western Expedition Army were all holding swords and spears, and were on alert. The 

outermost layer of people were holding spears and shields, and they were fighting with the innermost soldiers of 

the enemy from time to time.

Si Cang Qing turned his head and glanced at the enemy army that seemed chaotic but actually had order, and said 

calmly: "Today, let zhèn see the effect of the training these days!"

Once these words were spoken, they became a military order.

Several generals were in awe, and then rode their horses to different places, taking the soldiers under their 

command, and broke out according to the tactics of breaking the formation that Si Cang Qing had temporarily 

granted them.

Si Cang Qing looked into the distance and heard the sudden shouts of fighting from his soldiers. Suddenly, there 

were flashes of swords and chaos of soldiers and horses. Slowly pulling the reins, Si Cang Qing wanted to break 

through from the front left.

The person who set up this formation, if he is not mistaken, is the one who attempted to assassinate him that day!

It is no wonder that Yuwen Fengchun and others protect this man so much, because not only is his martial arts 

extraordinary, his military deployment is also rare in the world.

Today, he finally saw it for himself. This formation was the Xuanji Seven Star Formation that was famous 

throughout the world hundreds of years ago! But it has been lost for so long that even Penglai Pavilion has no 

way of finding it. Now, let him crack it!

The most powerful aspect of the Xuanji Seven Star Formation is that there is no way out. Anyone who enters the 

formation will die! However, in Si Cang Qing's opinion, the biggest flaw of this formation is that it has no way 

out. Life and death are always a fine line apart, as the saying goes, one must be put to death before one can be 

reborn. The death gate of the Xuanji Seven Star Formation is its way out! Moreover, the person who sets up this 

formation must be seated inside it. If you want to break the formation, just kill the person who set up the 

formation!

Against Si Cang Qing, it is actually a good idea for the opponent to use the Xuan Ji Seven Star Formation, 

because this formation requires the opponent to attack actively, and whoever moves first will die first. If you 

break the formation, you win the city!

Seeing Si Cang Qing riding alone and charging forward, the soldiers of the Guangyu Kingdom were all eager to 

move, wanting to surround and attack, but due to the restrictions of the formation, they could not act rashly and 

risk disrupting their ranks. Si Cang Qing had broken into the Guangyu Kingdom's army, and he was releasing his 

true energy and internal force without restraint, preventing the enemy soldiers from getting close.

The so-called Xuan Ji is nothing more than relying on ordinary soldiers, interacting horizontally and vertically, 

advancing and retreating forward and backward, or withdrawing diagonally. It is so complicated that the trapped 

people are unable to guard against it, and finally die of exhaustion.

Xuan Ji is so complicated that one cannot rely on what one sees and hears to judge. If one wants to crack Xuan Ji, 

one can only rely on one's heart. Si Cang Qing closed his eyes, not looking or listening, just following his 

feelings.

The two thousand imperial guards who followed Si Cang Qing in the expedition followed Si Cang Qing closely 

after breaking the small formation within the Xuanji Formation.

Guided by his intuition and perception, Si Cang Qing suddenly pulled the reins and opened his eyes. He glanced 

around calmly and saw hundreds of enemy soldiers surrounding him, forming varying formations.

Looking at the Imperial Guards who were fighting fiercely outside the formation, Si Cang Qing used his inner 

strength to transmit his voice, "Once zhèn breaks the formation, you will follow in time and disrupt the enemy."

After saying that, Si Cang Qing loosened the reins - in the Xuanji Formations, the most powerful one was the 

Seven Star Formation. Hundreds of people formed a star formation, and seven star formations crisscrossed to 

form a seven-star formation. The Seven Star Formation is the core of the Xuanji Formation and is also the death 

gate.

Si Cang Qing suddenly spun in the air and tapped lightly on the shoulders of the soldiers in the Seven Star 

Formation.

The Seven Star Formation was activated immediately. Si Cang Qing, who was spinning and turning in the air  

from time to time, could clearly see the people in the formation interweaving and cooperating with each other, 

changing their formation from time to time.

Si Cang Qing sneered inwardly, although he did not understand the Xuan Ji Seven Star Formation, he had always 

been better at the art of breaking formations and disrupting formations than at setting up formations.

The soldiers of Guangyu Kingdom surrounded Si Cang Qing who was performing light skills in mid-air in an 

orderly manner.

With the Liuhua sword energy in his hand, Si Cang Qing turned around from time to time, and his footsteps 

landed on the heads and shoulders of different people, and even on the crossed weapons, catching the enemy off 

guard.

Leaping gracefully to the western star array, Si Cang Qing moved quickly, using all his strength of the Liuhua 

sword energy to grab the slightly panicked soldiers on the eastern star array. In an instant, the soldiers on the 

eastern star array were more or less injured by the sword energy and all retreated. For a moment, the originally 

watertight Seven Star Array loosened a little.

It was at this moment that the Imperial Guards, who had been personally taught by Si Cang Qing the art of 

breaking the formation and disrupting the rules, attacked forward in perfect harmony, causing the enemies in the 

Seven Star Formation to tremble.

Two thousand imperial guards were instantly divided into three groups, with 666 people in each formation, 

splitting the Seven Star Formation into three pieces. The Seven Star Formation is originally a whole. Once it is 

separated, the soldiers will not be able to change the formation and will be in chaos.

Compared with the enemy's confusion and panic, the Imperial Guards' formation-breaking tactics became more 

and more valiant. At the same time, the Seven Star Formation was in chaos, and the Xuanji Formation was 

completely in disarray. The generals of the Western Expedition Army took advantage of this opportunity to 

quickly mobilize and disperse the soldiers who were originally engaged in the fight. Based on the previous ten 

days of training, the soldiers immediately formed a formation to break the formation.

◇Cang Huan◇Seven Palaces◇

Seeing that the Xuan Ji Seven Star Formation had been completely disrupted, Si Cang Qing flew out of the 

original Seven Star Formation, nodded quickly, and flew towards his mount, the Han Qing Horse, which was still 

safe among the chaotic soldiers. He turned over and sat back on the horse.

He just stopped there, and the aura around him made it impossible for anyone to get close to him. Looking 

indifferently at the battlefield where blood was flowing like a river, Si Cang Qing was at the very center of the 

formation to break the enemy's formation.

He waited for that person to come.

...Unless that person watched so many Guangyu soldiers being killed, because although the Xuanji Seven Star 

Formation was in chaos, he could not retreat until the enemy retreated; or the enemy died and I lived!

Compared with the soldiers of Guangyu Kingdom, most of the army that conquered the west was led by Anping. 

With their martial arts and endurance, plus the help of the formation to break the formation, the soldiers of 

Guangyu Kingdom were unable to resist because the Xuanji Seven Star Formation consumed too much of their 

strength.

Sure enough, a narrow path suddenly opened up between the two chaotic armies, and a man in white casual 

clothes was seen riding a horse and running towards this side at a rapid speed.

Before the horse arrived, the man came floating over.

This person's ability of the Duanquing Divine Arts seemed to have become even more powerful - this also 

indicated that this person's body would decay faster.

Before the attack came head-on, Si Cang Qing flew off his horse, flipped his body a few times in the air, and with 

his ankles together, he stood firmly on the shoulders of two Guangyu soldiers.

The Hanqing horse was not as lucky as before. It was immediately hit hard by the man's palm wind. Blood and 

flesh flew everywhere, splashing onto Si Cang Qing's white armor, leaving streaks of blood.

Si Cang Qing looked at him coldly, "If you don't withdraw your troops, these soldiers of Guangyu will be buried 

here with you!"

Of course, the soldiers of Cang Huan Kingdom will also suffer heavy casualties, and fighting to the death will be 

detrimental to both sides, which will bring no benefits but only harm.

The man did not answer either. His ordinary facial features were pale and his eyes were as black as dead water, 

without a trace of emotion. He stepped on a soldier and used the force to fly towards Si Cang Qing.

Thus, on the chaotic battlefield, two white figures, as if standing outside of it, tapped the shoulders of the passing 

soldiers in mid-air and exchanged attacks. Each move was full of murderous intent, and some of the soldiers who 

were affected were killed on the spot.

The sun was setting. Today's war was brutal and long, and the soldiers on both sides were somewhat exhausted.

Si Cang Qing frowned slightly, and after he landed on the ground, he saw the man coming towards him, but he 

did not fly away. Before the palm wind reached him, he stepped aside gracefully, and the man blocked it 

effortlessly...

At some point, Si Cang Qing had a dagger in his hand, and he swung it violently, slashing at the opponent's arm. 

The man suddenly retracted his hand and took a few steps back, but...

With black blood, it instantly slid down his arm. He suddenly looked at Si Cang Qing, his eyes finally showing 

some ripples, and he gritted his teeth, "You are despicable!"

Although the Duanqing Divine Art is extremely powerful and even Si Cang Qing cannot defeat it in a short time, 

it has a fatal flaw - in addition to utilizing the Duanqing Gu, which causes the body to decay, it also requires no 

bleeding.

People who practice the Duanqing skill feed the Gu with blood. The Gu resides in the blood. If they are cut and 

bleed, their skills will be greatly lost. The Daunqing Gu may even backfire and cause the person to wither and 

die. However, people who practice this magical skill do not bleed easily, not to mention whether they can hurt 

others, unless they deliberately cut vital parts with a sharp weapon.

Si Cang Qing remained indifferent to the other party's accusations. He is not some chivalrous man, so he does 

not need to compromise with any morality. Be it a sneak attack or cheating, on the battlefield, only those who 

survive are the real strong ones.

only……

Si Cang Qing easily dealt with the person who attacked him from behind, and watched the man fly away quickly 

after his arm was deliberately cut by him - it seems that this person's endurance and martial arts are not 

comparable to the founder of the Duanqing Divine Art back then. Even if he had exhausted his power last time 

and was injured and lost blood this time, he was able to escape.

Turning his gaze back, Si Cang Qing flew over and kicked over an enemy general, then sat steadily on the 

opponent's horse.

Watching the soldiers of Guangyu Kingdom retreating again and again - at this point, the Xuanji Seven Star 

Formation has been broken, and they don't need to waste time here, attacking the city is the most important 

thing!

The enemy's defeat boosted the confidence of the soldiers of Cang Huan Kingdom. They were finally able to vent 

the frustration they had suffered in recent days. Everyone worked together and attacked Luomen Pass like a 

tiger!

"Your Majesty, the enemy has been defeated repeatedly. Now is the perfect time to attack the city." Luo Shui 

rode to Si Cang Qing on horseback with a slightly happy look on his face.

Si Cang Qing nodded slightly, "Don't be impatient, be careful of fraud!"

"I will keep this in mind, Your Majesty, please don't worry!"

Then he rode forward several feet, Luo Shui was all over, waving the long spear in his hand, and shouted loudly: 

"Soldiers, attack the city!"
