Chapter 302 - The Eight Diagram Tactics

Inside the Eight Diagram Tactics, the 64 small arrays began to run rapidly.

Zhao Yun looked around and said, “Since you intend to test them, Prime Minister, I will go all out. But I don’t know if you want me to break through the formation alone or together with the young juniors.”

“Hehe, you have the same bearing as before, General Zhao! However, during these thousands of years, I’ve made the last major change to the Eight Diagram Tactics. Different from the past, it will be more dangerous.

“You have some experience in breaking through arrays, so lead these young talents to break out together. Let me see what will happen to the Eight Diagram Tactics when it meets you.” Zhuge Liang laughed.

“Hahaha, okay!”

Zhao Yun laughed, moved his muscles and bones, and said, “I still remember that when I first met you, you set the Eight Diagram Tactics and asked me to practice spear skills in it.

“The Seven Entries Coiled Snake Spear Technique and the spear power reached the Big Achievement Realm in the Eight Diagram Tactics. After thousands of years, it’s good luck to try your Eight Diagram Tactics again. I must try my best!”

Then, he threw the long spear in his hand to Zhao Changge and formed the second dragon gut silver spear with his spiritual strength. Beside him, Lyu Bu followed to heavily step on the ground with one foot, which turned the ground into molten slurry.

He gathered the fiery elements from it, melted them into a double-bladed halberd, and then stepped forward steadily.

Zhuge Liang no longer spoke. He fully activated the formation and waited for them to break through.

“Come and command us. Just say what we need to do!” Lyu Bu carried the halberd and said to Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun nodded slowly and turned to everyone. “Yu Wude and Shangguan Yiyi, I will tell you the known formation changes. You need to discuss how to break the formation.

“All I can do is to block the formation from disturbing you two. The rest of you, follow me. Don’t stand too concentrated. If there is any change, listen to the command of Yu Wude.”

After he finished speaking, Zhao Yun infused a spirit mind into the mind seas of Yu Wude and Shangguan Yiyi. After careful observation, they learned some structures and characteristics of the Eight Diagram Tactics.

The Eight Diagram Tactics were named after sky, earth, wind, cloud, dragon, tiger, bird, and snake. Together with the center army, there were nine large arrays.

The center army consisted of 16 small arrays, and the surrounding eight tactics were each composed of six small arrays, for a total of 64 small arrays. In the eight tactics, the sky, earth, wind, and cloud were the Four Positives.

The green dragon, white tiger, red bird, and winged snake were the Four Wonders. In addition, there were 24 arrays in the rear for maneuvering.

The composition of the Eight Diagram Tactics was divided into four parts as the main arrays. The northwest was Qian, which was the heaven array. The southwest, Kun, was the earth array.

The southeast, Xun, the wind array. And the northeast, Gen, the cloud array. Then the Four Wonders were the surprise soldiers.

The blue dragon array on the left, white tiger array on the right, red bird array in the front, and winged snake array in the back.

The eight tactics were placed in the head array, which consisted of 64 arrays and 24 militiamen arrays. The head array consisted of 32 arrays of Yin and Yan. There were 24 arrays of Yang and 24 arrays of Yin.

The 24 militiamen arrays were in the rear of the 60 arrays. Marching, forming, fighting together, setting up doubts, making up for deficiencies, and rear service all relied on militiamen arrays.

The Eight Diagram Tactics was extremely powerful. The folk poems summed it up: there were arrays within the array, and there were groups within the group. The front is the back, and the back is the front. No rushing in and no rushing out. Four heads and eight tails lead the way.

When the enemies rush in, both ends will besiege them. It is changeable. Head and tail corresponding with each other, it is unpredictable. It foresees with divine accuracy and acts as circumstances dictate.

The eight array method, in a while, the two arrays follow each other, one battle and one defense; the Chinese and foreign importance, the rigid and soft Festival, each other’s virtual reality, the subject and the guest successively, the longitude and latitude change, precisely because of the foundation, the strange because of the breakthrough, many because of the interaction, logistics guarantee.

Qian, Kun, Xun, and Gen had set the four directions, and the heaven, earth, wind, and cloud were changing along with the formation. Dragon, tiger, bird, and snake rushed out, and the water, fire, gold, and wooden surprise soldiers moved.

Now Zhuge Liang started the large formation, shifting the position of the center to his place and their position was changed to the heaven array. Yu Wude and Shangguan Yiyi were rapidly calculating the method of breaking the array.

Yu Wude tightened his eyebrows and said, “Qian Kun, the heaven array: there are 16 small arrays in the sky array. It’s round inside and square outside. Its image is like heaven, as the main part of the array and the first soldiers. If the three armies are of good use, its shape won’t change.

“Tianming, Chihiro, go to block the 16 heaven arrays. Take the Covering Sky Sword Skill as the main offensive means and block all the forces in the formation. Chihiro will guard behind to prevent surprise attacks in the wind array!”

“Clang!”

“OK!”

Without saying anything, Feng Tianming pulled out the Scarlet Heaven Sword and rushed into the sky. Misawa Chihiro held the sword tightly, quietly staying behind him. She was highly concentrated, scanning the surroundings back and forth.

All of a sudden, there were continuous beams of sword power flying in the sky. Like waves, they were still expanding. They covered the sky and then covered the earth.

“Grrr!”

Suddenly, there was a powerful spiritual strength rushing out of the sky array and turning into an army with sage cultivation.

“Clang!”

Feng Tianming’s sword power had already covered the sky, and the sword potential had already reached the Big Achievement Realm, rushing back and forth in the army.

He brandished the magic sword and waved it wantonly. Every time he swung it down, there would be a head or severed arms or legs flying up. Dressed in white, he was dyed with blood, looking very much like an unrestrained immortal swordsman.

“Whoosh!”

At this moment, a strong invisible spiritual strength rose in the wind array. When Misawa Chihiro saw it, she immediately drew the sword out, severing that strength.

Seeing that, Yu Wude said, “The wind array: The wind has no proper shape. It is attached to the sky and becomes a snake. Its meaning is becoming more and more mysterious. The wind can blow everything around it. The snake can surround everything, and the three armies are afraid of it.

“The power of the wind is invisible and colorless, but it has the power to destroy mountains. If it is in harmony with the sky, its power is unimaginable. Chu He, interfere with it using the flute!”

Chu He nodded when he heard the words, and immediately rose into the sky, fighting against the wind array with the flute sound.

“Woo!”

“Clang! Clang! Clang!”

He was obsessed with playing the music. The flute sound turned into a faint tangible force, hovering between heaven and earth. It seemed to be plain, but there was always the sound of swords.

The flute sound was contending with the power of the wind array. In this invisible battle, they had fought each other thousands of times. If they were a little careless, they would be cut into pieces by the powerful wind blade.

“Hiss!!”

Immediately afterward, when Chu He was obsessed with fighting against the wind array, a winged snake rushed out of another array. It opened its mouth wide, intending to kill Chu He with a bite.

“Heaven Devouring and Earth Shattering Blow!”

With a shout, Lyu Bu rose into the air and brandished his halberd toward the head of the snake. With a slap, the winged snake was actually shot to the ground by him.

“The snake array: The wind is serpentine, attached to the sky, surrounded by potential energy, with the performance of bending and stretching. Among the four wonders, it is adjacent to the tiger. It then becomes Mount Chang, with the head and tail trapped.

“The winged snake and Gou Chen are regarded as divine beasts, ranking below the four images. It can swim in the clouds, so unpredictable.

“Flying General Lyu Bu, your halberd skills are opening and powerful. Your unique evil spirit can penetrate the clouds and crack the ground, which is most suitable for suppressing the winged snake.”

Yu Wude said to him slowly, and then directed the crowd to the center of the array. Lyu Bu shouted in the back, “Try my halberd again!” and rushed up again.

“Senior, I’ll help you!” Lyu Hao also shouted to him, holding the double-bladed halberd to rush up.

“Help? Listen to the arrangement! The person who uses his head must listen to him! Haven’t you learned anything from me?!” Lyu Bu yelled back.

Hearing that, Lyu Hao could only return back to the crowd to help everyone rush to the array’s center quickly.

“Boom!”

Suddenly, when Wang Bugui and the others got to the Kun array, the earth became violently turbulent.

Shangguan Yiyi immediately frowned, saying, “Sister Yueyan, Brother Ning Zhe, now we need both of you to stabilize the earth with Tao Law.”

“The earth array: the earth array has 12 small arrays. It is square with a cloud in the four corners. It’s difficult to attack the enemy. Its body is unpredictable. It can be used infinitely. It can’t stand on its own. It’s suitable for Yang.

“Mobilize the power of Taoism, use the power of the female genitals to suppress the earth’s veins and the Tao principle the earth attaches to. Then, rush into the formation with the golden body of Buddhism. Be as steady as a mountain to keep the array stable.”

Then, Leng Yueyan and Ning Zhe also rushed to the earth array one after another, executed according to what Shangguan Yiyi had said, and successfully suppressed the array. But it couldn’t last too long, after all, as the eight tactics were interdependent.

They seemed to be facing a sub-array. In fact, the power of the whole Eight Diagram Tactics could be evenly distributed. If they dragged on for a long time, they would be defeated by the large array in succession.

No one dared to rest for even a moment. Only when they rushed to the heart of the array could they break it.

“Ow!”

But before they had run out a few steps, another roar came. Then, a white tiger appeared. It had the peak-stage Greater Power cultivation, and its killing intent was extremely strong.

As soon as it appeared, that kind of rampant killing message swept over and made everyone on the scene turn pale immediately. The white tiger was responsible for killing. One could imagine how strong it would be if it started to kill.

“The tiger array: Heaven and earth rush forward and turn into a tiger wing. Subdue the tiger and it will fight. Its power will be full. If it was used in Huaiyin, it would become limitless. Then, Lu Gong would not predict the meeting of Gai Xia.”

Yu Wude gritted his teeth, and looked at Zhao Yun.

“Mount Chang Zhao Zilong is here!!”

Needless to say, Zhao Yun rushed up with the dragon gut silver spear. He was the General Tiger with a tiger’s courage and a dragon’s strength! Even in the face of the white tiger, the main killer in the four images, he had no fear at all!
