Chapter 924 "The Eight Trigrams Formation of Heaven and Earth"
Chapter 924 "The Eight Trigrams Formation of Heaven and Earth"
Each heavy step seemed to carry the weight of a mountain, causing the earth to tremble slightly.
The Xuanming Iron Guards' formation was impeccable, their auras intertwined, and their fighting spirit connected, as if each of them were an unbreakable rock on the Great Wall of Steel.
The spears stood like a forest, their tips gleaming coldly in the sunlight, exuding a chilling murderous aura.
As the Great Wall of Steel slowly advanced, a terrifying sense of oppression swept over them. The oppression was as heavy as a mountain, making the air seem to freeze, and making every member of the Qiankun Guard feel unprecedented pressure.
At the very front of the formation stood rows of Xuanming Iron Guards wielding massive shields. These shields, forged from refined iron, were as sturdy as city walls and could withstand attacks from any weapon.
Although they were royal soldiers who had fought countless battles, they couldn't help but feel a slight tremor in their hearts when faced with the Xuanming Iron Guards, which were like a torrent of steel.
At the forefront of the Qiankun Imperial Guards stood a dashing general named Si Yunzhang, wielding a pair of Qiankun twin swords that shone with a mysterious luster. He rode a warhorse with a jet-black coat and snow-white hooves, named "Moyunzhui".
Si Yunzhang's gaze pierced through the slowly advancing Great Wall of Steel ahead and landed on the Xuanming Battle Banner hanging high behind them, fluttering in the wind. The banner was embroidered with intricate Netherworld totems and exuded an ominous aura under the blazing sun.
His expression suddenly turned solemn, and a complex emotion flashed in his deep eyes as he recalled that painful period of the past.
In that battle back then, a tremendous war broke out between the Xuanming Iron Guards and the Dao soldiers of the Great Qian Dynasty, staining the mountains and rivers with blood and changing the color of the heavens and earth.
At that time, Si Yunzhang was just a young captain in the Qiankun Imperial Guard, and he witnessed the ferocity and tragedy of that battle.
He originally thought that after that battle, the Xuanming Iron Guards had been severely weakened and might even have disappeared. He never expected to meet them again here today, and their momentum was even stronger than before.
"The Xuanming Iron Guards! As expected, we couldn't annihilate them all in that battle back then!"
Si Yunzhang murmured to himself, a hint of emotion mixed with a barely perceptible sense of apprehension.
As one of the foundations of the Great Qian Dynasty, and the current leader of the Qiankun Imperial Guard, he naturally knows his former "colleagues," the Xuanming Iron Guard, very well.
He knew better than anyone how powerful and treacherous the Xuanming Iron Guards were!
However, now is not the time to dwell on the past. Si Yunzhang shook his head, banished the thoughts from his mind, took a deep breath, and his gaze became firm and sharp again.
He looked around and saw that the soldiers of the Qiankun Imperial Guard were all on high alert, their Qiankun twin swords gleaming with cold light, and the Bagua diagrams on their armor glowing faintly, echoing each other and forming a force that should not be underestimated.
"Form ranks and prepare for battle!"
Si Yunzhang shouted in a deep voice, his voice not loud, but clearly reaching the ears of every Qiankun Imperial Guard.
Following his command, the Qiankun Guards sprang into action. They moved slowly, their auras intertwined, their fighting spirits aligned.
The twin swords in his hands traced mysterious trajectories in the air, seemingly echoing the Eight Trigrams of Heaven and Earth, forming a military formation that terrified the enemy—the "Eight Trigrams Formation of Heaven and Earth".
The Qiankun Bagua Formation follows the principle of "thin center, thick square". A general is stationed in the center to control the mobile forces, while the four cardinal and four unorthodox formations complement each other around the perimeter.
The Four Cardinal Formations are Heaven, Earth, Wind, and Cloud, symbolizing harmony and order between heaven and earth; the Four Extraordinary Formations are Dragon, Tiger, Bird, and Snake, used as surprise attacks, flexible and ever-changing.
The entire formation is a complex system of large formations encompassing smaller formations, large camps encompassing smaller camps, formations within formations, and squads within squads, exhibiting endless variations.
This formation can adapt to various complex terrains and can fight from multiple directions simultaneously.
Whether on plains, mountains, or water, the Qiankun Bagua Formation can exert its unique power.
Its characteristics of "when combined into one, it forms a city on a flat plain; when dispersed into eight, it takes on different shapes depending on the terrain" make it difficult for the enemy to predict its main attack direction and the distribution of its forces.
The soldiers of the Qiankun Imperial Guard are arranged according to the eight directions of "rest, life, injury, block, view, death, shock, and open". Each position in the Bagua formation is closely connected, like hooks and chains. This layout not only allows the entire formation to adapt quickly to changes on the battlefield, but also effectively confuses the enemy.
At this moment, as the formation was activated, a mysterious aura permeated the battlefield, and the entire universe was activated.
At the center of the formation, as the blood energy of the Qiankun Guardian continued to gather, it gradually condensed into a majestic and magnificent military dharma image—"Qiankun Heavenly God"!
This divine form is neither human nor god, but is formed from pure blood and the primordial energy of heaven and earth. It stands tens of feet tall and radiates brilliant light, like the ruler of heaven and earth.
The "Heavenly God of Heaven" has a head as tall as the sky and eyes as sharp as lightning, exuding an aura of dominance over all living beings. Its body is robust and its limbs are strong and powerful. It holds a pair of huge Heavenly God Sword Shadows, which are intertwined like dragons and phoenixes.
The lower half presents the shape of heaven and earth, with the sky being a deep blue with clouds swirling around it; the earth is vast and boundless, with mountains and rivers crisscrossing it.
At the center of the Buddha's chest, a Bagua diagram clearly appears, composed of elements such as yin-yang fish and Bagua symbols. The yin-yang fish rotates endlessly, and the Bagua symbols flash with light, intertwining and depending on each other to form a stable yet ever-changing whole.
On the two swords of Qiankun held by Faxiang, a true dragon and a colorful phoenix are respectively coiled. The true dragon is covered with golden scales, baring its fangs and claws, and has a majestic aura; the colorful phoenix has colorful feathers and dances gracefully.
A surge of righteous energy, along with the breath of the divine avatar, transformed into beams of golden light that spread outwards. Wherever it passed, the numerous Heavenly Guards felt an unprecedented surge of power enter their bodies, their fighting spirit soaring even higher.
At this moment, the Xuanming Iron Guards, as solid as the Great Wall of Steel, were almost upon them. Each heavy step they took seemed to carry the weight of a mountain, causing the earth to tremble slightly.
The spears stood like a forest, their tips gleaming coldly in the sunlight, exuding a chilling murderous aura.
Si Yunzhang rode on the Moyun Steed, holding the Qiankun Twin Swords, his gaze fixed on the steel Great Wall that was slowly sweeping in front of him.
"The Imperial Guards of Heaven and Earth, fearless and invincible!"
Si Yunzhang roared, his voice echoing across the battlefield like thunder.
With his roar, the soldiers of the Qiankun Imperial Guard responded in unison, their battle cries shaking the heavens and earth, their momentum unstoppable.
The two teams did not communicate before the match, nor did they exchange any unnecessary words.
Enemies meeting are bound to be filled with hatred; in this situation, only war remains!
