Chapter 353: Cao Bianjiao abandons the dark and joins the light, a great commander with amazing courage
"Xuan Huang Chaos Bell, go!"
Li Dingguo, who had been gathering strength long ago, used all his spiritual power. The huge bell with a diameter of thirty-six feet floating above his head made a loud bang and slammed towards Cao Bianjiao!
"Humph!"
"I'm afraid you won't succeed!"
Cao Bianjiao's eyes became serious, "Wulian Tower, go!"
His fighting ability is no worse than Li Dingguo's, so why would he be afraid of him?
His mind moved, and the Infinite Tower floating above his head, carrying infinite power, transformed into a silver lightning and crashed head-on into the oncoming dark yellow bell!
In the world of cultivators, the more advanced the master's cultivation, the simpler his means of fighting.
In battle, they often use their most powerful methods to kill the enemy instantly without any unnecessary fancy moves or tricks.
Manipulating one's own divine weapon to kill the enemy is undoubtedly the strongest means of killing for any genius master.
Although this operation seems simple and like a brainless attack, most practitioners, if they encounter a master of the same level who has his own innate magical weapon, will not be able to resist this simple attack.
Even under the spatial lock of the opponent's innate artifact, you can't even dodge and can only watch yourself being killed by the opponent's innate artifact!
In ancient myths and legends, those powerful masters who possessed their own divine weapons used this method in most battles.
You are using your power to suppress others, but you are helpless and cannot even hide away!
Using one's own magical weapon to launch attacks faster than lightning is the most common way for this kind of powerful masters to kill enemies.
This is the case of force defeating skill. I don't bother to reason with you.
This is the most direct and effective way to kill the enemy. It is simple, fast and practical.
Once you encounter a master of the same level who possesses his own divine weapon, but you do not have the divine weapon to protect you, the outcome of a one-sided battle is doomed from the beginning.
No matter how gorgeous, flexible and changeable your moves are, they will all be useless in the face of the brutal critical hits of your innate magic weapon.
This is especially true for innate divine artifacts.
Every innate divine weapon comes with one or several perfect laws of heaven and earth. The higher the cultivation level of its owner, the more terrifying the power it unleashes.
If you are the Daluo Jinxian in mythology, you have an innate divine artifact to protect you. You can stand still and allow a Daluo Jinxian of the same level to attack you. As long as you don't have an innate divine artifact of the same level in your hand, you won't be able to break the opponent's defense.
The opponent uses his innate artifact to lock the battlefield space. He only needs to use his innate artifact to strike you once, and you will die on the spot without even being able to run away.
This is also the reason why the innate artifact is so precious.
However, how vast is the entire universe?
Even among those top-level masters, in the ancient mythological period, there were very few who possessed their own innate divine weapons.
More than 90% of the powerful masters will never see this kind of innate artifact in their entire lives, let alone own even a lower-grade innate artifact.
It is unknown what earth-shaking changes had taken place in the ancient mythological period, which led to the emergence of all kinds of innate and acquired magical artifacts in this magical world where Li Dingguo now lives, which is dazzling.
This is definitely a great fortune for geniuses like Li Dingguo and Cao Bianjiao. With just the cultivation level of Qi Refining Realm, they can each possess one or several innate divine artifacts.
If those powerful masters in ancient myths and legends knew about this, most of them would probably be so angry that they would vomit three liters of blood and curse the injustice of heaven!
However, this is a different time and that is all due to luck.
To be able to become a peerless genius born in this Dharma-Ending Age when the world is undergoing great changes is the luck of people like Li Dingguo and Cao Bianjiao. It is a coincidence and something that cannot be envied.
"boom!"
The two most powerful innate artifacts in the world collided with each other, making a deafening roar. The shock wave that was detonated caused the two innate artifacts to fly backwards on the spot.
Together with Li Dingguo and Cao Bianjiao, they all retreated hundreds of feet away before they stopped.
The difference is that Cao Bianjiao and his natal artifact, the Wuliang Tower, were thrown about thirty feet farther by the shock wave than Li Dingguo and the Xuanhuang Chaos Bell.
Facts have proved that even at the same level of cultivation, the power of Li Dingguo's innate divine weapon is much stronger than Cao Bianjiao's.
This is because the seal of heaven and earth that was unsealed in the Wuliang Tower has one more layer than the seal of the Xuanhuang Chaos Bell.
If Li Dingguo unlocks the Xuanhuang Chaos Bell to the next level, Cao Bianjiao's defeat will become more obvious.
"How can this be?"
"My Wuliang Tower has unlocked five seals, but it's no match for your Xuanhuang Primal Chaos Bell, which has unlocked four seals?"
After Cao Bianjiao stabilized his body, he moved his mind and summoned the Wuliang Tower back to float above his head, then spoke loudly with a look of surprise.
"The power of the natal divine weapon depends on the cultivation and combat capability of its owner. Li Dingguo, how come you have made such great progress?"
"It's clear that nearly two months ago, we were evenly matched and fought equally."
He stared at Li Dingguo with his eyes wide open and asked in confusion.
"Cao Bianjiao, you are already very good."
Li Dingguo waved his hand calmly and said, "You are the only genius who can fight me head-on and remain undefeated among people of the same level."
"As for why my life-defining divine weapon is so powerful, it was achieved by chance and cannot be replicated by others."
"Come again!"
Li Dingguo was eager to fight and wanted to take advantage of this rare opportunity to check his combat effectiveness after the breakthrough in actual combat.
Only by knowing the situation clearly can you defeat the enemy in one fell swoop in the future battle with Huang Taiji or Aobai and achieve the desired results.
In the usual sparring with Wan'er, since neither of us is a mortal enemy, it is difficult to truly check my true fighting ability.
This Cao Bianjiao is the most suitable opponent. He is not only a mortal enemy, but also a world-famous genius.
"Xuanhuang Chaos Bell, suppress time and space!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his mind moved and returned to the Xuanhuang Chaos Bell above his head. The bell sounded immediately, penetrating into the enemy's soul, emitting extremely mysterious sound waves, which instantly blocked off this battlefield area.
The spirit birds that the two men were riding on were already fighting each other in the sky far away. They were not on this battlefield and were not affected by the battle here.
Affected by the attack of the Xuanhuang Chaos Bell, after the mysterious bell sounded, Cao Bianjiao immediately felt that this space and time was blocked. His body shape was also affected to a certain extent and he could no longer move freely as before.
His cultivation level is not inferior to Li Dingguo's, his combat power is also similar, and he has a life-defining artifact to protect him, which makes him immune to most of the bell attacks.
If it were any level five expert, he would probably be unable to move at all, as if he were stuck in a quagmire, and would probably lose the ability to move.
After breaking through to the sixth level of martial arts, the power unleashed by Li Dingguo's innate magical weapon, the Xuanhuang Chaos Bell, increased by more than ten times.
It is an undeniable fact that Li Dingguo is currently invincible among his peers.
"Infinite Tower!"
Cao Bianjiao was horrified and immediately activated his own divine artifact, the Wuliang Tower, to meet the Xuanhuang Chaos Bell that was coming like a bolt of lightning!
"boom!"
An explosion louder than the previous one came from the place where the two innate divine artifacts collided.
"Rumble..."
The shock wave caused by the loud collision of the two innate divine artifacts once again made both the enemy and us unable to stabilize our bodies, and they were thrown backwards on the spot!
This time, Cao Bianjiao was thrown nearly two hundred feet, while Li Dingguo only retreated less than a hundred feet.
Which one is strong and which one is weak is clear at a glance.
Li Dingguo was relentless and continued to pursue the enemy, launching a continuous bombardment of his magical weapons on Cao Bianjiao.
Under the influence of the Xuanhuang Chaos Bell that confined time and space, Cao Bianjiao had no way to avoid it. Although he blocked the opponent's attack in time, he looked more and more embarrassed.
About a quarter of an hour later, under this extremely brutal fighting style, Cao Bianjiao's face had turned pale and he was even gasping for breath.
"boom!"
As the two innate divine artifacts inevitably collided again, the Wuliang Tower, which had briefly lost Cao Bianjiao's control, was thrown away by the vast shock wave. At that moment, Li Dingguo's hidden backup plan was immediately activated!
In order to defeat Cao Bianjiao, he secretly consumed fifty points of luck during the battle and unlocked the fifth seal of the Human Emperor Cauldron.
Now the Human Emperor Cauldron's inherent magical power of size and size can enlarge the internal space to a radius of 48 meters. After the fifth seal of the Human Emperor Cauldron was unlocked, not only was the magical power of size and size greatly enhanced, but the power was also doubled.
Although Cao Bianjiao had the Wuliang Tower continuously supplying him with massive amounts of life essence and he had unlimited physical strength, the internal energy converted from it could no longer keep up with the rate of consumption in battle.
As the Wuliang Pagoda was being thrown backwards, a huge dark yellow cauldron that was forty-eight feet square suddenly appeared behind it, and the huge mouth of the cauldron headed towards the Wuliang Pagoda!
As expected, this innate divine artifact, the Wuliang Tower, was taken into the cauldron before Cao Bianjiao was prepared.
Then, Li Dingguo used his divine sense to quickly activate the innate formation inside the cauldron and trapped him tightly.
"Cao Bian Jiao! You lose!"
Li Dingguo looked at the horrified Cao Bianjiao and said coldly, "I'll give you a chance. How about joining our Fuxing Army?"
"Since you have already fallen out with your uncle, from now on you can kill the Tartars with me and do whatever you want. Isn't that good?"
"You should have heard about the way our Restoration Army operates. It is completely different from those gang-like rebel armies."
"On your way to see me from the interior, you must have seen the living conditions of the common people in our Fuxing Army's territory. If nothing else, they have no problem with food and clothing."
"In terms of treating the general public well, the imperial court can't catch up with our Fuxing Army."
He slowed down his tone, looked at Cao Bianjiao who looked dejected, and said coldly, "You have to think carefully. You only have one chance. If you want to resist to the end, I will kill you right here!"
"Cao Bianjiao, you can rest assured. Just like You Shilu who has already defected to our Fuxing Army, I will not let you participate in the civil war of the Ming Dynasty. From now on, just stay outside the Great Wall and kill the Tartars."
"If you agree to join our Renaissance Army, I can return this innate artifact, the Infinite Tower, to you. I will not covet your innate artifact."
Li Dingguo did not want to kill Cao Bianjiao, who was once the world's number one genius.
As the most outstanding genius and evildoer in the world today, Cao Bianjiao is a rare talent of the Chinese nation. It would be a pity to kill him like this.
The main reason was that Cao Bianjiao had no evil deeds. Li Dingguo had a very good impression of him based on what he had heard and seen, and he was not one of the people he wanted to kill.
If it was a genius from most of the enemy's side, Li Dingguo would kill the enemy without hesitation and would not say a word to him.
This innate divine artifact, the Wuliang Tower, is very good, but how can a top-level innate divine artifact compare to the help that a promising and talented general can give to oneself?
"I actually lost? Lost to a young genius?"
Cao Bianjiao, who tasted failure for the first time, was devastated. He always thought that all the heroes in the world were no more than this kind of person. But now all his arrogance disappeared and he muttered to himself.
He had been locked by the Xuanhuang Chaos Bell, which blocked the battlefield space. He had nowhere to escape and was waiting for Li Dingguo to take action with a desperate heart, but he heard the other side trying to persuade him to surrender.
He knew very well that since Li Dingguo's rise, he had been ruthless and would not let any enemy go.
Another piece of information from Li Dingguo surprised Cao Bianjiao. "Li Dingguo, you said that You Shilu is still alive?"
"Now he has come to the border area and is fighting against the Tartars?"
This is huge news, and it will definitely cause an uproar if it is made public.
As everyone knows, Li Dingguo was ruthless and cruel to any enemy, but he actually let You Shilu and his 20,000 soldiers go.
"Not bad!"
Li Dingguo said solemnly, "For those officers and soldiers of the government army who have not committed any evil deeds, if they can surrender, I, Li Dingguo, will naturally not kill them all."
"These are all good men of our Chinese race. Wouldn't it be better to keep them useful and kill other races?"
"Since our Restoration Army entered the country, we have recruited no less than 200,000 soldiers. Most of them have joined our Restoration Army after completing a round of new recruit training."
"For a general like You Shilu, if he doesn't want to stay inside the Great Wall to fight the civil war, there are countless Tartars waiting for him to kill on the grasslands outside the Great Wall."
"Cao Bianjiao, to tell you the truth, I, Li Dingguo, am not as shallow-minded as those officials and gentry of the Ming Dynasty who only know how to fight for power and scheme against each other in the interior of the country."
"This world is so big, there are countless enemies waiting for us to destroy, and countless territories waiting for us Chinese to occupy. Is it worth it to fight so hard among ourselves?"
"The enemies outside the Ming Dynasty are enough for the soldiers to kill for a lifetime! For the descendants of our Chinese people, it is more meaningful to conquer foreign cities and try our best to expand the living space than anything else."
"Especially those white barbarians, who have already come to our Han people's doorsteps, and the officials and gentry of the Ming Dynasty have turned a blind eye!"
"They want to annihilate our Chinese race! Each and every one of them is a sinner for all eternity, and their death is not a pity!"
"As for these corrupt officials, I, Li Dingguo, will kill them one by one. Only by letting them die and their clans be destroyed can I relieve the hatred in my heart!"
Fight the Tartars? Eliminate those white barbarians?
Cao Bianjiao's eyes lit up when he heard this. Apart from cultivation, he was not interested in other things, but he was very interested in doing this.
Since even You Shilu has surrendered to the Fuxing Army, and he has also got the big job of fighting the Tartars outside the Great Wall, how could he not be eager to try?
Just refused to surrender and was killed by Li Dingguo?
This death is too worthless. At least one million Tartars and white barbarians should be killed first.
And what Li Dingguo said was right. He traveled all the way from the interior to the exterior of the Great Wall, and along the way he met the people in the areas under the jurisdiction of the Fuxing Army. They had a stable life and were thriving. They were living a wonderful life that they had never dared to imagine before.
There is no doubt that the Fuxing Army did much better than the Ming Dynasty in this regard.
Along the way, Cao Bianjiao was even a little confused. Who was the traitor?
Compared to the territory of the Fuxing Army, where the vast majority of people lived and worked in peace and contentment, the situation in the Ming Dynasty was miserable. The people lived in dire straits, and it looked like the end of the world.
In comparison, the Ming Dynasty could not even catch up with the achievements of the Fuxing Army in this regard.
This corrupt court should have perished long ago, and it is just right to be replaced by Li Dingguo's Fuxing Army.
Now that he has been defeated by Li Dingguo, what else is there to say?
I will find other ways to repay my uncle for his kindness in raising me in the future.
Since You Shilu can surrender, so can I. From now on, I will stay on the prairie and help You Shilu kill the Tartars.
Anyway, it is not shameful to submit to Li Dingguo, a peerless genius of the Chinese nation, not to mention that he was indeed defeated by him.
"Li Dingguo, I can join your Fuxing Army, but I will be like You Shilu and not go to the interior to participate in the civil war. I will only fight the Tartars and those white barbarians outside the Great Wall."
"I am quite good at doing these things and have a lot of experience in them."
Cao Bianjiao was a straightforward person, he would not be shy, now that he had made up his mind, he spoke straightforwardly.
"it is good!"
Li Dingguo was overjoyed when he heard this. With a thought, the innate divine artifact, the Wuliang Tower, flew out from the Human Emperor Cauldron and hovered in front of Cao Bianjiao. "I will return this Wuliang Tower to you. Continue to use it to kill enemies in the future."
"We have a Pixiu corps at our Renaissance Army's base camp outside the Great Wall, which is composed of 90,000 warrior recruits."
"They are the same as your Cao family army. They are all elite cavalrymen with two horses each, and they are all equipped with spiritual weapon suits. They are now guarding the Renaissance Army headquarters at Daling Lake."
"From now on, you, Cao Bianjiao, will be the commander of the Pixiu Corps. Lead them to fight outside the Great Wall. Kill as many Tartars as you can!"
"I, Li Dingguo, must occupy all the grasslands in the north of the Ming Dynasty!"
For a genius like Cao Bianjiao, Li Dingguo would not doubt his promise, integrity and fighting ability at all. He immediately appointed him as the commander of a newly formed main combat corps.
"what……"
Cao Bianjiao happily put away his life-saving divine weapon, the Wuliang Tower. Hearing this, he was shocked. "A 90,000-man elite cavalry corps is being handed over to me to lead?"
"This……"
"Cao Bianjiao greets the commander-in-chief!"
He was overjoyed and saluted Li Dingguo, saying, "Don't worry!"
"If I don't lead this Pixiu Army to kill tens of millions of Tartars within three years, I, Cao Bianjiao, will be considered incompetent!"
Cao Bianjiao was now convinced by Li Dingguo's amazing courage.
