Tome of Troubled Times

Chapter 416: The fire of the Vermillion Bird burns the sea of heart

Views:

At this time, the city gate was already under fighting.

Tang Buqi's troops arrived at the city gates and attacked the three gates at the same time with Xue Canghai and Wan Dongliu.

Before the world has formed a military gap of one against ten thousand, the army is still the decisive force. Zhao Changhe needs to stop the Dharma Chi and other Dharma protectors, and Tang Buqi also needs to attack fiercely to suppress the tens of thousands of monks in the city, otherwise he will be overwhelmed by 10,000 or 20,000 believers. Zhao Changhe can only retreat no matter how many Heaven Ranking and Earth Ranking he brings, and he can't even retreat if he is blocked by the Bodhisattva.

Likewise, the monks did not dare to let Tang Buqi's army break into the city, otherwise, Maitreya, Bodhisattva, and "800,000 troops" would pile up and kill all the monsters and demons. So even though Fazhen was beheaded by Tang Wanzhuang before he could arrange defenses, the believers at all levels defending the city still spontaneously formed a resistance.

However, because there was no organization, no one could arrange for troops to deal with the situation in the city, and they could only blindly defend the city, forming an extremely divided internal and external war situation. In addition to luring out Maitreya, Tang Wanzhuang's beheading action also has a great significance in this.

Those who would spontaneously defend the isolated city were all extremely crazy believers who had been brainwashed. As long as they were blessed with invulnerability, they would be truly fearless.

Even though there is precedent that proves that the one thousand monk soldiers became disabled afterwards, and the practice of ordinary believers simply cannot withstand the baptism of this kind of "Buddhism", it doesn't matter.

We are all true believers who have passed the test of the Buddha, and even if we die, we will surely be able to enter the true vacuum hometown.

The brainwashing of cults can make people who seem smart appear to be mentally ill in the eyes of others. Zhao Changhe has seen a lot of this in the world, including celebrities.

However, faith cannot be eaten. The commander-in-chief and his lieutenants were all killed in the conference room. This was a completely disorganized resistance. What was the use of being invulnerable to swords and guns

Tang Buqi was prepared for heavy casualties, but in the end, it was much easier than when he met Zhu Huan in the early morning...

At that time, there were only a thousand monks, but they could form a formation and charge in a strict and orderly manner. Now, the golden walls are full of invulnerable monks, but they are a mess and each fights on its own, with no army or formation, and no tactics at all... This is simply a piece of cake in the eyes of a military commander, and no matter how troublesome the individuals are, they are not troublesome.

Amid the deafening shouts and cries of killing, the ladders were smoothly set up on the city wall. They were not hit by the usual rain of arrows, falling rocks, wood and oil. It was so comfortable that Tang Buqi thought he was playing a fake match...

Wu Weiyang, the general of the Demon Suppression Division, put on armor and held a sword, and climbed to the top of the wall first.

The monks who were in chaos on the city wall seemed to be activated. They shouted in unison and swung their swords at the same time.

Wu Weiyang was not in a hurry to kill the enemy. He swept his long sword and pushed several swords aside.

The next moment, several soldiers came up from behind him and stabbed the same monk with their spears, making a clang sound.

Sure enough, the defense is still not broken.

The soldiers were not in a hurry. They retracted their spears, threw out a noose, put it around the monk's head, and pulled him down from the city wall.

The remaining soldiers who had not yet climbed the city walls stabbed with their spears, making a loud "ding-dong-dong" sound, and stabbed the monk soldier into a hive-like state.

Tang Buqi was still testing various plans in an orderly manner, but the scene was completely different over at the Blood God Cult.

These are all real martial arts masters!

Xue Canghai didn't need a ladder at all. He climbed up the city wall without leaving a trace. He used the "Scatter All Gods and Buddhas" skill and chopped the three monks in front of him into six halves with one sword.

The surrounding monks and soldiers were stunned.

Everyone has heard of this knife technique.

Could this person be the Blood Shura Zhao Changhe

Before they could react, several elders and guardians of the Blood God Cult jumped onto the top of the city wall and shouted in unison, "All gods and Buddhas shall scatter."

All of a sudden, it seemed like several bloody toads came and jumped on the city wall, and then blood splattered and they were cut in half.

Where do so many Zhao Changhe come from

"Leave some for us!" Countless Blood God followers screamed and rushed to climb the ladder. "We couldn't break through by killing those people before, but maybe these people with special blessings can? Leave some for us..."

The fanatical monks couldn't help but feel a little frightened by this group of lunatics.

Who the hell is the cultist

Wan Dongliu's side seemed to be a combination of Xue Canghai and Tang Buqi's fighting styles. Their individual strength was very strong, and their organization and tactics were also very high. Their fighting seemed unremarkable, but before they knew it, the city walls were already densely packed with Cao Gang members.

Battle reports require text rendering, but battle lines do not.

For a moment, the other nobles who had originally planned to watch the plunder could no longer sit still.

What else do they need to do if the city is broken into in an instant by these three armies? They can't even get any credit.

Someone rode up to Tang Buqi and said, "Mr. Tang, the soldiers of the Tang family have been working hard in the early morning, and now they are fighting a tough battle. It is too hard... We should also do our part..."

Tang Buqi thought to himself that although this group of people was quite weird, they still needed to unite to stabilize Jiangnan afterwards, so this would be of some use, so he nodded and said, "Thank you, Governor Zhang, for sharing your worries."

Governor Zhang secretly thought that Tang Buqi was quite a good person, and fearing that he might go back on his word, he anxiously led his men to attack the top of the city wall.

As a result, the situation suddenly changed after just a few breaths of fighting.

The monk soldiers who were originally shining with golden light, the golden light turned into black air at some point.

Originally, they had only received the "blessing of Buddhism" and had their own thoughts, so how could they complain about where so many Zhao Changhe came from... But at this moment, their eyes began to dull, and they looked like a group of mindless corpses.

When Cui Wenjing and Yang Jingxiu performed the autopsy, they said that this kind of blessing didn't have many tricks... This judgment is right and wrong.

If we only talk about the blessing of Buddhism, it is indeed like this, but when the nature of the Bodhisattva himself begins to change, the nature of the blessing will naturally change as well.

Just as Magistrate Zhang's men were about to imitate Tang Buqi's method and use a lasso to pull the monk down, the rope suddenly broke into pieces when it reached the monk's neck.

From defense to... corrosion

The next moment, the monk pushed with his left hand and hit the soldier's breastplate.

Hitting the breastplate with bare hands would hardly have any effect even if a martial arts master came... However, with this hit, a strange death energy penetrated into the armor, and the soldier's heart stopped suddenly, and he fell straight down from the top of the city wall.

The thick aura of death could be felt from as far away as the central army... Although they were in the battlefield with the most vigorous energy and blood, it was like walking into a mass grave that had been deserted for a thousand years.

At the west gate, Xue Canghai's voice spread throughout the battlefield: "Those below the third level of Xuanguan, immediately retreat one mile away! Those above the third level, use your internal force to protect your heart meridians!"

The entrance is triple…

Don’t think that everyone Zhao Changhe meets starts at the ninth level wherever he goes. In fact, warriors below the third level of Xuanguan are the mainstream in the world. Those who reach the third or fourth level are generally leaders of some size. How many of them can there be

Tang Buqi ordered his soldiers to retreat, and suddenly a question occurred to him.

This may be the first time in the world that "too many people are useless", or it may mean a very critical node, from which the world's conventional thinking may change.

… …

The battle between Tang Wanzhuang and Zhuque to besiege Maitreya also came to an end at this time.

Multiple battles were going on simultaneously, but in fact, not many moves were made in total.

Maitreya had been fighting and retreating in an attempt to return to the secret realm. He didn't know why the Bodhisattva didn't dare to show his power in the world. In short, only in their "vacuum homeland" could he truly exert his greatest strength.

But it is not like now, he thought he had already increased his strength to the Heavenly Ranking, but in the end he can only barely survive.

Not to mention dealing with a double attack, in fact, even if there was only Suzaku alone, he couldn't beat him. With the same level of training, everyone's actual combat skills would also be different, otherwise how could there be a ranking list

But Maitreya still has his own little plans.

The biggest difference between the triple secret treasure and the double secret treasure lies mainly in the comprehensive development of the spiritual sea of consciousness, that is, the comprehensive application of the mysteries such as "spiritual consciousness" and "mind".

In Zhuque and Tang Wanzhuang's conventional understanding of Maitreya, he would be able to do it, but not to that level. Just like Zhao Changhe could simply use the soul-stealing method taught by Maitreya, but it could only barely work on opponents with lower cultivation, and essentially he had no control and development over these methods.

But in fact, the Maitreya who received the blessing was blessed with more than just power.

He is truly soul-stirring.

Of course, we can't do it directly. These two women are not pushovers. Only by suddenly attacking them when they are retreating step by step and in an extremely embarrassing situation can we achieve certain results.

And he planned to use it on Suzaku, who had a higher level of cultivation.

He had tried to use it on Tang Wanzhuang, but it was like a drop in the ocean, with no effect at all. In addition to the fact that Tang Wanzhuang's spirit was actually at the level of triple secret treasures, the more important reason was that Tang Wanzhuang's mental method was like the moon reflecting on the water, and her heart was as clear as ice, so she had always been the most stable one in dealing with these projects.

But Suzaku is different... Suzaku is an extremely violent fire-type practitioner, and must be relatively easily affected by the mind.

I don't seek to control her, I just hope to make her heart waver a little. That will be a chance to turn defeat into victory, or at least I can run away!

He had a good idea in mind, but his current strength did not allow him to slowly lay out the plan. Just as he had this idea in his mind, his hand was facing Zhuque's palm. The violent and unparalleled fire-attributed true energy surged and burned his blood, shocking Maitreya so much that he almost vomited blood.

Behind him, Tang Wanzhuang was relentless and pointed a sword straight at his back.

Maitreya no longer had time to act slowly and suddenly looked up.

There were ripples in his eyes, looking directly into Suzaku's eyes.

Zhuque seemed to be stunned for a moment, and the cold murderous intent in his eyes actually passed Maitreya and looked at Tang Wanzhuang behind him.

Maitreya was ecstatic, his judgment was correct! Tang Wanzhuang and Zhuque were originally enemies, and he tried to stir up her hatred and anger towards Tang Wanzhuang, and it worked! He risked being hit by Tang Wanzhuang's sword, and fully activated the soul-stealing method, trying to let Zhuque's next attack hit Tang Wanzhuang.

But just as Dafa was activated, he saw a smile on Suzaku's red lips beneath his half-face mask.

Maitreya's heart skipped a beat.

The next moment, the spirit platform was burning like fire, as if a spiritual fire rose directly from the heart, and in an instant the soul sea turned into flames.

At the same time, Tang Wanzhuang's sword pierced his heart.

The air seemed to freeze.

Maitreya looked down at the tip of the sword sticking out of his chest, then looked up at Suzaku who seemed calm. He wanted to say something, but couldn't - he had lost the ability to speak. His entire spirit was raging with flames, his soul was burning, and he was unable to speak.

Zhuque seemed to know what he wanted to say, and told him considerately: "I am not like some women who would just shut themselves up and wait for others to pry open my soul. Anyone who invades my heart will be attacked by the heart fire. Do you think your mere cultivation is enough for me?"

Maitreya was unable to utter a word, and the life in his eyes slowly dimmed.

Unwilling to…

We are not far from the secret realm. The journey of several miles used to take only a few breaths, but now it seems like an insurmountable chasm.

Jiangnan's hegemony, countless beauties, all gone...

Tang Wanzhuang was saying to Zhuque, "Why are you still talking to him? Go and support the secret realm."

Zhuque was just about to say "Beg me again" to her, but before he could say that, his expression suddenly changed.

The atmosphere of the mysterious realm in the distance underwent strange changes, and even Maitreya, who was standing with his head hanging in front of him, began to mutate.

His head hung on his chest, and a piece of flesh bulged out from the back of his originally fat neck, which became more and more protruding and bigger. He also hunched forward, as if another head had emerged from behind his neck, and the original head seemed to be held in front of his chest. It was so strange that he no longer looked like a human.
