To achieve immortality, I cultivate using Qi Luck

Chapter 817: Chapter 352 Hidden Cards Jiang Cheng

Despite the peril at hand, Lu Yuan was worried, yet he dared to take such a risk because he had a certain level of confidence.

This confidence didn’t come from elsewhere but from his own strength.

When Lu Yuan broke through and gathered one qi, he naturally mastered one divine power and three magic techniques recorded in the Taiping Dao Book.

Among them, the Huang Jin Power Warrior Divine Power had already differentiated into two avatars, Huang Xuan and Qingyunzi.

With the help of these two avatars, he had received a lot of assistance over the years, greatly relieving the plight of a shortage of top masters in Chu State, and their importance and assistance were almost irreplaceable.

Apart from this divine power, at the realm of gathering one qi, he could also master three magic techniques.

They were the Marsh Technique, Earth Spike Technique, and Earth Wall Technique.

Among these three techniques, the Earth Spike Technique specialized in offense, suitable for both groups and individuals, and was extremely powerful, making it the most potent offensive technique Lu Yuan currently wielded.

However, even though this technique could also serve in group attacks, summoning multiple earth spikes to strike at enemies.

With Lu Yuan’s current magic power, even with all his might, he could only summon about thirty to forty earth spikes, covering a rather small area, making it somewhat difficult to achieve wide-ranging attacks.

As for the Earth Wall Technique, it served as a defensive magic, no need to say more.

This battle truly counted on the Marsh Technique as Lu Yuan’s hidden card.

The Marsh Technique was a magic that transformed a region into a muddy marsh for a period of time, used to change the terrain.

Earlier, when Lu Yuan had just made a breakthrough in gathering one qi, by using this technique at full power, he could transform the terrain within a hundred zhang radius into a marsh.

To provide an example from the mainstream formations of the day, during large troop engagements, the base level formation was usually comprised of five hundred soldiers, forming a battalion.

A battallion-sized square formation would occupy an area with a radius of twenty to thirty zhang.

Going up from the battalion level, this is a military officer responsible for several battalions, and the deployment of several formations could approximately reach a hundred zhang radius.

That is to say,

When he first gathered one qi, with one use of the Marsh Technique by Lu Yuan, a hundred zhang radius would become a swamp, instantly encompassing a combat cluster commanded by a military officer, allowing the marsh to swallow one to two thousand people.

By now, it had already been five years since Lu Yuan broke through and gathered one qi.

In those five years, although he was limited by the scarcity of heavenly and earthly aura and had not managed to breakthrough gathering two qi, he had made significant progress within the realm of gathering one qi.

The most obvious improvement was the accumulation of more magic power.

Compared to when he first broke through, the magic power accumulated within Lu Yuan’s body was about thrice what it was when he first entered this realm.

This means, whenever he wanted, he could turn a three hundred zhang radius area into a marsh.

A three hundred zhang radius area could almost cover more than half of a ten thousand man army.

Some small towns were also only about this size.

Such a vast area, to some extent, could already be considered a transformation of heaven and earth.

And Lu Yuan, who possessed this power, undoubtedly also had the power to transform heaven and earth.

Whenever he wished, he could cast the Marsh Technique in an instant. He could kill six to seven thousand people or destroy a small town.

Such tremendous power, if unleashed on the battlefield, could instantly rout an entire army.

And this is merely the most direct effect, not even considering the consequent impact.

Just imagine.

Two large armies are arrayed at the front, each employing their strategies as arrows fly chaotically and blades and spears move in unison.

Even if some powerful martial artists could take on dozens or hundreds, they would still be terrifying, but within the realm of understanding for ordinary people.

Even if an Inborn Grandmaster took action, deploying a martial arts external body, changing the environment within ten or so zhang, he would be nearly akin to gods and demons. @@novelbin@@

But even such a fearsome Inborn Grandmaster, to kill a thousand people, would need more than a dozen breaths, and it would consume a lot of energy and couldn’t last long.

If, en route, a top-notch expert leads a blockade and is assisted by many battlefield weapons, even an Inborn Grandmaster may find it difficult to kill a thousand on the battlefield.

With these constraints, Inborn Grandmasters, while extremely terrifying, are not completely without resistance from mortal armies.

If they’re willing to pay the price, the death of tens of thousands could still drive back an Inborn Grandmaster.

Even if that Inborn Grandmaster was relentless, they could be worn down to death, which is not impossible.

But with Lu Yuan’s magic technique, there’s no need for a strenuous fight or to expend time and energy. By reciting incantations and casting the magic, thousands could be killed in an instant.

And in that instant, the sight of thousands dying before your eyes, a scene akin to divine punishment, would deliver an unimaginable blow to the will and spirit of the people.

Lu Yuan could be certain.

As soon as he cast the Marsh Technique, not only could he cripple an army in an instant, but he could also directly collapse the morale of several army units nearby.

A sudden collapse of tens of thousands, such a massive breakdown in a major battle, would almost guarantee a crushing defeat, irreversible in nature.

Therefore, with this magic technique, as long as Lu Yuan leads his troops and engages the Ning Army in a major battle.

The moment the Marsh Technique is cast, the Ning Army’s collapse becomes inevitable.

The Chu State army could then take advantage and rout the Ning Army in one fell swoop, which is not too unlikely.

After all, the Ning people’s army is a well-trained standing force, and the Ning Army also has subdivided Inborn Grandmasters. Whether at the low-level or the top-level, their strength and quality are not inferior.
