Kong Xuan Displayed His Might and Fought Ziya
"I only have one more Wind Fire Wheels!"
"Give it back to me right now! I don't want to get involved in your war!"
Nezha really is just like a child.
Kong Xuan was still concerned about the Phoenix Clan in the Primordial World.
Perhaps we can find a breakthrough by focusing on Nezha, a child.
The Phoenix's successful rebirth gave rise to the Peacock; its failed rebirth gave rise to the Great Peng.
Since the Dragon-Han Great Tribulation Dynasties, even after the Phoenix Race re-entered the world, they have always remained hidden in the Undying Volcano Primordial World in the southern part of the prehistoric world, and have no desire to participate in the conflicts of the Primordial World.
In their eyes, the great Sage of the Primordial World were filthy.
Kong Xuan, as their descendant, was able to step forward, which means that even if the entire Phoenix Clan wasn't behind him, there was definitely a lot of support!
I should have known that although the Phoenix Clan agreed to the alliance with the Human Race, not all of the Phoenix Clan's powerful figures agreed.
"Bring that old man Jiang Ziya out; I want to have a serious talk with him!"
"Ah! I'll go right away!"
Upon hearing this, Nezha immediately ran back to Jiang Ziya's Xiqi army camp without saying a word.
However, once Nezha returned to the army camp, they lowered their flags and stopped beating their drums, hiding themselves away and not daring to come out at all.
The Xiqi army led by Jiang Ziya seemed to be terrified, completely terrified.
The next day, Kong Xuan had no choice but to order the central army to fire the cannons, and then personally led a large force to the front lines, where he had his men shout loudly.
"Please, Commander Jiang Ziya, come out and speak."
"General Jiang Ziya of the Great Zhou, come out here!"
With thousands of people shouting at the same time, even Jiang Ziya, with his composure, couldn't hold back.
A scout from the Western Zhou army reported to the central command, "Kong Xuan requests the Marshal's reply."
After thinking carefully for a while, Jiang Ziya finally spoke.
"The eight generals march out of the camp."
Jiang Ziya, the mastermind behind the Xiqi army, is finally about to make his move.
Finally, he couldn't sit still any longer. Being constantly scolded by Kong Xuan like this really wasn't a solution.
Where the large red banner is displayed,
Jiang Ziya's procession was quite grand, with four vanguard officers and his disciples on either side, arranged in a wing-like formation.
Jiang Ziya, with his white hair, stepped out.
Standing amidst a million-strong army, he looked up at the mountaintop and saw Kong Xuan.
But Kong Xuan's demeanor and bearing were indeed extraordinary.
Upon closer inspection, one sees Kong Xuan standing there proudly!
He was as imposing as Heavenly God warrior, standing over ten zhang tall, his golden armor gleaming in the firelight.
Five rays of light shone brightly. I have witnessed the creation of heaven and earth, and the emergence of the sun, moon and stars.
As expected of a descendant of the Phoenix, the Peacock's extraordinary nature is evident.
Jiang Ziya vaguely knew what kind of being he had offended.
His face was solemn, and when he looked up, his expression was also grave.
But then they saw five beams of light behind Kong Xuan: blue, yellow, red, white, and black.
This is the so-called master of the Yin Shang dynasty who defeated many of his generals.
However, Jiang Ziya also had doubts.
When Kong Xuan saw an old man arrive, he knew it was Jiang Ziya, and immediately questioned him in an annoyed manner.
"Was it your idea to use phoenix-patterned banners in Xiqi?"
"A phoenix-patterned flag?" Jiang Ziya was somewhat bewildered by Kong Xuan's question.
Is there a problem with Xiqi using the phoenix as its totem and its phoenix-patterned flag?
However, Kong Xuan was arrogant and domineering, so Jiang Ziya obviously couldn't speak kindly to him at this time. Moreover, it was indeed Kong Xuan who designed the Xiqi banner.
Jiang Ziya immediately nodded and said, "Indeed!"
Unexpectedly, the old man Jiang Ziya had some courage and directly admitted it.
"You are forbidden from using the Phoenix Clan's name again, or I, Kong Xuan, will not stand for it!"
Kong Xuan was amused and annoyed by the sight of this withered old man's impressive bearing.
After pondering for a moment, the withered old man Jiang Ziya spoke.
"The Mandate of Heaven is fickle; only the virtuous shall possess it. In the past, Emperor Yao had an unworthy son, Danzhu, who yielded the throne to Shun. Emperor Shun had an unworthy Shang Jun, Shangjun, Cheng Tang throne to Yu. King Jie was tyrannical, and Cheng Tang overthrew Xia to seize the throne. Now the throne has been passed to King Zhou. King Zhou now licentious and tyrannical, his depravity is widely known, Heaven is angered and the people resentful, Four Seas is in turmoil. Virtue belongs to Zhou, and we will respectfully carry out Heaven's punishment. Under the Heavenly Dao, is there any banner that cannot be used?"
"What a fisherman! He really knows how to spout nonsense!"
Upon hearing this, Kong Xuan couldn't help but start cursing.
So, did Jiang Ziya use the name of the Phoenix Clan, or did he Heavenly Dao?
I really don't know how Jiang Ziya could be so shameless.
"I, Kong Xuan, hereby warn you once again: from this day forward, you shall never again use the name of the Phoenix Clan!"
"Otherwise, I will kill all your generals!"
Kong Xuan was both amused and exasperated by Jiang Ziya, so he simply warned them that he would kill them.
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ziya frowned.
Being surrounded by thousands of troops, and being able to speak on behalf of the righteous cause of Heavenly Dao with just a few words, Kong Xuan had certainly broadened his horizons.
This is perhaps how Jiang Ziya felt about himself and what his mission was.
"In that case, I will take action myself!"
Besides being thick-skinned, Jiang Ziya also had some backbone.
With a flick of his God-Beating Whip, he charged forward.
Then Kong Xuan didn't stand on ceremony.
The two horses clashed, but before they could exchange more than a few blows, Jiang Ziya God-Beating Whip downwards, and the God-Beating Whip transformed into a weapon.
Jiang Ziya is about to form a battle formation.
Upon seeing this, Kong Xuan immediately burst into laughter, saying, "What's so glorious about such skill?"
Kong Xuan turned his horse around and swept the yellow light on the left side downwards, towards Jiang Ziya, but it had no effect whatsoever.
Just like sand and ash thrown into the sea, Jiang Ziya's vulnerability was actually exploited.
The generals around Jiang Ziya were startled.
Kong Xuan then rode his horse to capture Ziya.
Ziya quickly parried with his God-Driving Whip.
Deng Jiugong rode up to assist. Ziya fought for fifteen or sixteen rounds. Ziya God-Beating Whip Kong Xuan, but the whip landed in Kong Xuan, like a stone thrown into water.
Kong Xuan is already invincible simply because of the Five-Colored Divine Light!
Ziya was greatly alarmed and hurriedly ordered the gong to be sounded. Both sides returned to their respective camps.
"Old fool, utterly pathetic! If you relinquish the Phoenix Clan title, I might give you a chance and spare your lives!"
After their exchange, Kong Xuan discovered that Jiang Ziya n't particularly formidable.
It was even somewhat vulnerable, which made things much easier.
It seems that he alone had stopped them at the foot of Golden Rooster Ridge.
Facing an army of thousands alone, his mood immediately improved.
Kong Xuan was in high spirits, while Jiang Ziya began to feel apprehensive and tense.
Now, Jiang Ziya Ziya ascended his tent, sat down, and pondered, thinking, "This man has five rays of light behind him, which correspond to the Five Elements; now he has also captured our general Hong Jin. I don't know if this is a good or bad omen. What should we do?"
"We should take advantage of Kong Xuan's victory and raid his camp tonight, win a battle, and then make further plans."
"Tonight, you will raid Kong Xuan's main camp; Huang Tianhua, you will raid his left flank; Leizhenzi, you will raid his right flank. First, demoralize his troops, then use a stratagem to defeat them, and you will surely succeed."
This Jiang Ziya, failing in open warfare, resorts to a sneak attack; he's truly cunning.
So this is what military strategy is all about.
If open methods don't work, then resort to covert ones; if honorable methods don't work, then resort to underhanded methods.
This wretched thing, this filthy thing.
Kong Xuan, however, became somewhat arrogant at this moment, and after exchanging blows with Jiang Ziya, he won one after another.
Back in the barracks, they began their celebration.
King Zhou of the Yin Shang Dynasty, the army, had arrived with provisions to reward his troops.
Pigs, horses, and cattle raised on-site, when cooked, are also quite delicious.
"Rest assured, I will soon capture Jiang Ziya alive and sweep away the Western Zhou!"
During the banquet, Kong Xuan made such remarks, which were indeed a bit arrogant.
