Chapter 420 Skills—Dao Wu! Xuan Tian Wei!
"Hmph, that's easy for you to say. Why don't your elite troops step forward to fight?"

"Instead, you want our troops to be cannon fodder?"

Another general snorted coldly, his face full of displeasure.

"That's wrong. Although my soldiers are brave, their numbers are limited."

"This is the time when we all need to work together. How can we fight alone?"

The middle-aged man in Taoist robe tried to ease the atmosphere.

"Work together? I think it means we are going to die!"

"Everyone knows what you are planning. You want our troops to consume the spirit of the Cangzhou Army so that your people can take advantage of it."

Another general sneered.

The generals of the Taiping Sect argued endlessly with each other.

They are wary of each other and calculating against each other, all wanting to preserve their own strength while at the same time wanting others to be cannon fodder.

This kind of atmosphere of intrigue is already commonplace in the Taiping Sect, but at this critical moment, it is particularly glaring.

"That's enough! It's already this late, and you're still scheming against each other! If you don't work together, we will be defeated in today's battle!"

An older general shouted, his face full of anger and disappointment.

However, his roar did not quell the debate.

The Taiping Sect's generals still hold different opinions, and the trust between them has completely disappeared.

The calculations and vigilance in their hearts were like an invisible wall that separated them tightly.

At this moment, the battle situation ahead changed again.

The offensive of the Cangzhou army became increasingly fierce, and the defense lines of the Tiebi Guards and the Xuanqi Cavalry were already in danger.

Although the Taiping Sect's generals were still arguing, there was a hint of panic in their eyes.

"I don't think it's a good idea to keep fighting like this."

"I am willing to lead my elite troops into battle, but you all need to send out your own troops to fight against the Cangzhou army together."

The middle-aged man in Taoist robe, also known as Master Xuantong, finally gave in when he saw that the battle situation was unfavorable.

Although his proposal was somewhat reluctant, it was still a compromise under the current circumstances.

The Taiping Sect's generals looked at each other. Although they still had grudges, they also knew that now was not the time for infighting.

"Okay, let's do as you say. We will join forces to fight against the Cangzhou Army!"

The older general made the final decision, finally bringing the dispute to an end.

Then the generals gave orders one after another, and the soldiers under their command began to get ready for battle.

"Ding! Xuantong Taoist's skill Daowu is activated!
Dao Enlightenment: Wearing a flowing Taoist robe, he has an immortal demeanor, is able to understand yin and yang, and is good at understanding the Eight Diagrams. He often gives guidance to others, and is also able to plan and win battles thousands of miles away. This is a commanding skill that people who are proficient in Taoist arrays have a chance to awaken.

Effect 2: When deploying troops, increase your own command value by 3 to points.

Effect 1: When planning a strategy, reduce the overall command value of the opponent by 2 to points.

Effect three: When defeating a larger force with a smaller one, the actual effects of effects one and two can be improved.

Effect 4: When you are a military advisor and defeat a larger force with a smaller one, you can temporarily improve the morale and combat effectiveness of the army you are loyal to, making the entire army more courageous. The effect lasts for a certain period of time. The greater the difference in military strength between the enemy and us, the stronger the actual effect of this effect.

The current basic attributes of Xuantong Taoist are Command 98, Military Strength 101, Intelligence 99, and Politics 90. Once the effect of Xuantong Taoist's skill Daowu is activated, the troops are currently being deployed, and the Command value is +2, and the current Command value rises to 100! "

At this time, Taoist Xuantong was wrapped in a dark blue Taoist robe with Yin-Yang fish and Bagua patterns painted on it, making him look like a fairy.

He stood on a high ground, overlooking the elite Taoist-style troops below.

This unit, named "Xuantianwei", is the elite soldiers of the Taiping Sect. They specialize in Taoist martial arts and formations. Based on Taoist mystical principles, they integrate martial arts and Taoism to form a unique fighting force.

The Xuantian Guards were wearing specially made armor which was dark blue in color and engraved with cloud patterns, as if it contained the mysteries between heaven and earth.

Every piece of armor is carefully crafted, with elegant streamlined edges, which not only displays the beauty of simplicity but also provides practical protection.

The weapons in their hands are also extraordinary. There are cloud patterns engraved on the halberds and the Bagua patterns are cast on the tips of the spears. Every detail reveals a strong Taoist atmosphere.

Taoist Xuantong began to set up the formation. His voice was deep and powerful, as if every word contained the secrets of heaven and earth: "Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and treat all things as straw dogs; saints are not benevolent, and treat the people as straw dogs."

"However, the laws of nature are constant. They do not exist because of Yao, nor do they perish because of Jie. In today's battle, we will surely win a great victory if we follow the will of heaven!"

Following Master Xuantong's words, the Xuantian Guards began to move slowly, and every step seemed to be in the rhythm of heaven and earth.

The trajectory of their movement seemed chaotic, but in fact it contained a mystery, as if they were following some ancient formation diagram.

At this moment, Taoist Xuantong was setting up a formation unique to the Taoist new army - the "Tai Chi Wind and Thunder Formation".

This formation is based on the Tai Chi diagram and incorporates the principles of the Eight Trigrams. It has infinite changes and is unpredictable, forming a battle formation that can both attack and defend.

In the formation, the Xuanjia Taoist soldiers were like chess pieces, skillfully arranged by Taoist Xuantong at various key points of the formation.

Everyone cooperated with each other in perfect harmony, as if everyone was a part of the formation, forming an indestructible whole.

The soldiers in the formation marched along the trajectory of the Yin-Yang fish, sometimes gathering together, sometimes dispersing, in an unpredictable manner, making it difficult for the enemy to grasp their movements.

"Heaven and earth are in position, mountains and rivers are ventilated, thunder and wind are thin, water and fire are not in contact with each other."

Taoist Xuan Tong recited the principles of the Eight Trigrams softly and waved his fingers gently, as if he was controlling the power between heaven and earth.

Although his voice was soft, it revealed an unquestionable power that made everyone present feel in awe.

Following Taoist Xuantong's instructions, the Xuantian guards quickly adjusted their positions and formed a perfect Tai Chi wind and thunder formation.

The movements were swift and accurate, as if every person was a part of the formation and none of them could be missing.

"Qian represents heaven, Kun represents earth, Zhen represents thunder, Xun represents wind, Kan represents water, Li represents fire, Gen represents mountain, and Dui represents marsh."

Taoist Xuan Tong continued to chant, and every time he read a new hexagram, the corresponding Xuan Tian guards would raise their weapons and let out earth-shaking shouts, as if they were resonating with the heaven and earth.

As the formation was set up, a mysterious atmosphere enveloped the entire battlefield.

The Tai Chi Wind and Thunder Formation seemed to have become an independent world, with the heaviness of heaven and earth, the swiftness of thunder and wind, and the excitement of water and fire.

In this world, the Xuantian Guards seemed to have gained infinite power, and their eyes were full of determination and conviction.

"This formation is a secret of our Taiping Sect. It is a blessing to be able to use it today."

Taoist Xuantong took a deep breath and said slowly, "I hope you all will work together to defeat the enemy with this formation and spread the power of our Taiping Sect!"

As soon as the words fell, the Xuantian Guards shouted in unison: "Promote the power of our Taiping Sect!"

The sound was so deafening that it seemed to shake the entire world.
