Tome of Troubled Times

Chapter 419: The chaos in Jiangnan was settled in one day

Views:

In the battle just now, Zhao Changhe did not use the BUFF state of "Heaven and Earth Without Me".

This state can drive you completely irrational and crazy in the early stages, but it can be somewhat controlled later on and you can retain a little bit of spiritual clarity, but overall it is still not as clear as the normal state, and the sequelae will make you weak, so it should not be used indiscriminately.

The situation is changing rapidly and he must remain rational and analyze it.

But nothing can be kept at this moment.

Tang Wanzhuang's condition clearly showed signs of unlocking the third secret treasure.

This bitch never thought she could be cured, and was always ready to fight to the death. Especially now that she thinks "the prince can carry on her legacy", she will die more easily, right

"You stinky bitch, you dare to open the third secret treasure casually. When you are out of strength, I will show you how I will deal with you! Show it in front of the Venerable Suzaku. The Venerable will definitely be very happy!"

Tang Wanzhuang was dumbfounded. The secret treasure that she was about to open stopped abruptly.

The next moment, the Maitreya heavy tank rushed forward, and she held her sword horizontally, almost being blown away, and her back hit hard... Huh

A pair of very gentle hands supported her from behind, as if afraid that she would be injured, and they were extremely careful. Zhuque's voice was like a smile: "Don't die, I'm waiting to see how you get hurt."

Tang Wanzhuang was both embarrassed and angry. Before she could come up with a suitable counterattack, Suzaku had already passed by her and slapped Maitreya's chest heavily with his palm.

That huge flesh bomb, unlike his subordinates, was not hard and invulnerable to swords and guns. Instead, it seemed to absorb energy and collapse, making all of Suzaku's power disappear into the sea. Then it rebounded and made Suzaku retreat.

As she retreated, she also picked up Tang Wanzhuang's waist and retreated with her. Even though the corners of her mouth were bleeding, she still rubbed it with her hands: "Such a soft waist, no wonder men are obsessed with it..."

Tang Wanzhuang almost wanted to roll her eyes. She raised the sword in her hand again and stabbed it viciously into Maitreya's rebounding flesh.

There was a fire burning in Maitreya's chest, and before it could stop, another sword pierced into him. He finally roared in pain, and the fire stopped again.

"He is about to enter the secret realm, and you still have the mind to joke!" Tang Wanzhuang finally had time to speak. She turned around and saw that Zhao Changhe's eyes were bloodshot and he could no longer hear what she was saying.

There is no me in the world...

After breaking through the secret treasure, if you use this state again, your arms will become visibly thicker, a faint blood light will appear around your body, murderous aura will rise into the sky, and the smell of the devil will overflow.

Zhuque curled his lips, feeling a little jealous.

You're really willing to risk your life for her... Never mind, you've also risked your life for me...

She was really troubled by people like Maitreya. Logically, her own flames could restrain this kind of body defense, especially after breaking through the third secret treasure, it should be easy to finish the job, but for some reason, she couldn't burn him to death.

It seems that there is a strange energy in Maitreya's body, which is actually suppressing her fire... How strange...

White Lotus Fire

What is the key to Maitreya's forging of his holy white lotus body

Suzaku was thoughtful.

At this moment, in Zhao Changhe's eyes, Maitreya who was rushing up the mountain disappeared, the flame road disappeared, and Suzaku Tang Wanzhuang disappeared...

Only the magician in front of him seemed to be concentrating on launching some big move.

Fa Chi's appearance is different from that of Shi Mo and Maitreya... He is very upright.

Even though the thing he believed in had turned into a demon in the naked eye, he was still shining with golden light, and his expression was solemn and resolute. He was a true believer who was defending the last holy land.

There was not even a trace of demonic intent...

If there is any, it is that there is also a bit of blood and murderous aura surrounding his sword. That is the momentum condensed by their Maitreya sect's "killing to become a Buddha". From this perspective, it is actually consistent with the Blood God Sect. It is not just a different path to the same destination, but it is basically the same.

Putting aside the mysteries behind the battle, just from this battle, it is a battle between the Blood God Cult and the Maitreya Cult, to see which one is stronger.

Although Fa Chi has the blessing of gods and Buddhas, Zhao Changhe also has the Blood Shura Body.

It was as if he had unexpectedly returned to the essence of battle, and Zhao Changhe's heart was filled with fighting spirit.

Looking up, Fa Chi's eyes were also filled with fighting spirit, and he actually spoke: "Zhao Changhe..."

Zhao Changhe looked at him intently.

"No matter what you ask me about my view on Bodhisattvas and Buddhas... I would like to ask you, what did you see in the battle between the Heavenly Ranking and the Gods and Demons..."

Zhao Changhe said slowly: "The path of martial arts."

"That's right... We couldn't even stand in the distance and watch their fight... As a warrior who walked out of the slaughter, you must be feeling the same as I am, unwilling, yet yearning, with blood burning in your heart."

Zhao Changhe's eyes moved slightly.

"In Maitreya, there may be people who cheat people out of money and sex..." At this point, Fa Chi paused and smiled bitterly: "Maybe there are many."

Zhao Changhe: “…”

"But the original intention was to save people from suffering, cure diseases and help people... It also gave us, the poor people who have no chance to advance, a door to the martial arts... You are protecting Tang Wanzhuang, and I am protecting my hometown of Zhenkong. This is the meaning of our battle."

Zhao Changhe said slowly: "Very good."

Fa Chi smiled, his eyes becoming crazier: "A sea of blood can create a Shura, and killing can also make one a Buddha... You and I are on the same path, and I have long wanted to fight you."

Zhao Changhe did not answer.

The law is born, the law is celebrated, and it ends here. He has killed many people of the Maitreya Sect, but it seems that he has never deeply touched their inner world. These words of the law-crazy made him a little surprised, but in the state of no self in the world, his mind did not have so many feelings, but the desire to fight became stronger.

Such an opponent is more worthy of a fight...

Whether it is Yu Cixiu or Lu Shiheng...are they considered masters

Maybe it counts as spiritual practice, but in terms of pattern, it doesn’t count.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, I saw a... Dharma fanatic... Although the things he was obsessed with might be a little pathetic.

"Clang!" The knife roared like a dragon and went straight for Fa Chi's throat.

As the knife rose, Zhao Changhe finally answered: "But I only need one knife to kill you!"

Just one knife

What big talk!

We have been fighting for such a long time with no winner, and now you have entered a state of selflessness and can kill me with just one sword

You have a hidden trick, don’t I have one

The sword faced the dragon bird.

Zhuque and Tang Wanzhuang over there took time out of their busy schedule to pay attention to this side. They could almost see a huge, angry-looking Vajra image rising up behind Fa Chi, with murderous aura surging. All the vegetation on the mountains were swept away and destroyed by the sword energy, which was unstoppable.

Killing to become a Buddha… Dharma Protector Bodhisattva

What a strange contrast.

A Dharma image also appeared behind Zhao Changhe.

It was not the starry sky that was common in Suzaku, but the image of the Blood God, the shadow of a majestic man, covered in blood, standing upright, slashing with a knife.

"choke!"

No tricks, the two knives met head-on.

A deafening roar suddenly arose, which could be faintly heard even in the isolated secret realm. Two more cracks appeared on the approaching Maitreya tumor, as if someone had widened his eyes in shock.

The most shocked person was Fa Chi himself.

He clearly felt that at the moment the two knives intersected, it seemed as if all the blood in his body was boiling and churning everywhere; and the evil spirit rushed straight to his mind, and even his soul, which was not affected by the poisonous insect, was almost unable to think because of the evil spirit.

All that was left was a series of “Kill, kill, kill, kill!”

Then he felt a pain in his throat, and Longque took advantage of this moment to swing his sword and cut across his throat.

Fa Chi regained some sense, and urgently slashed Zhao Changhe's chest with his sword, trying to save the situation and force Zhao Changhe to retreat. Zhao Changhe ignored him and let the sword drag a long wound on his chest. Long Que had already cut Fa Chi's throat.

Blood gushed out like a fountain. Fa Chi stood there in a daze, unable to understand: "Why... why..."

Why were they evenly matched just now, but after he used the Maitreya Sect's strongest killing move, the Killing Sword Technique, he couldn't even withstand a single move... Zhao Changhe didn't even use his famous Gods and Buddhas Are All Dispersed and Hell Is Like This, nor did he use those strange sword-like routines in front of the Wang family's gate, nor did he use the One Night in the Small Building Listening to the Spring Rain, which was said to have been very popular in Xiangyang.

He just made an ordinary move.

Is it possible that the selfless blessing from heaven and earth is so powerful

"You are wrong..." Zhao Changhe covered his chest and stepped back, saying weakly: "The angry eyes of the Vajra are to protect the Dao, you think so, but in fact... Killing to become a Buddha... Along the way, are you just protecting the Dao?"

Fa Chi was in a daze, not understanding the connection between them.

"The Buddhist way of protecting the Dao is based on the great Buddhist teachings to resolve the evil in the heart. You don't have that... Your teachings are crooked, and the things you are protecting are also crooked... The blood evil energy in my heart is so thick that it overflows. There is no Buddhist teaching to dispel it, nor is there the guidance of the Blood God Religion to transform it. It gathers in my heart... It just so happens that my Blood Evil Skill is best at utilizing the blood evil energy, whether it is my own or external... The same goes for yours."

"This is the door to my secret treasure. I never thought that the evil of the battlefield was confirmed in Xiangyang, but the evil of people's hearts is confirmed here." Zhao Changhe whispered, "The one who killed you was you."

Fa Chi showed a look of enlightenment, but without any reluctance. Instead, he smiled and fell to the ground with his head tilted back.

Almost at the same time, the secret space exploded with a "boom", and a black shadow rushed out, and Maitreya in front was already close. Maitreya's "tumor" laughed wildly at the sky: "Come on! Bodhisattva possessed, white lotus holy body, welcome to the real Zhenkong family..."

"Roar!" A broadsword came straight at him, roaring like a dragon's roar.

Maitreya dodged quickly, but the broadsword slightly adjusted its angle and still chopped in front of him.

Tang Wanzhuang Zhuque has such rich combat experience that she can block any angle at which Maitreya can dodge. If he doesn't dodge at this moment, he will never be able to dodge again.

Longque cut off Maitreya's "tumor" like cutting a melon, and a black poisonous insect fell out of his neck.

Zhao Changhe threw the Dragon Bird with all his strength, then sat on the ground completely exhausted, laughing softly: "Good buddy, you are finally not arrogant anymore..."

The residual soul of the corpse demon had just successfully escaped into Maitreya's body, but only a headless body was left.

Corpse Demon: “…”

Who am I and where am I

The next moment, shadows appeared all around, and Ying Wu and others chased out. Ying Wu, who was in the lead, seemed to be very embarrassed. He made a very special seal in his hand and imprinted it viciously on Maitreya's chest.

A strange pattern of a beast with a big mouth appeared on Maitreya's chest. The corpse demon wanted to escape, but found that he could not leave this headless body.

"The seal of the Pixiu has only entry but no exit... This Ying Wu..." This judgment flashed through the minds of many knowledgeable people, and they were too lazy to say more. The ancient sword Dragon King, Qinghe Sword, Lianshan Sword, Chunshui Bibo, Suzaku Fire, Huayan Staff, and Taiyi Sword descended on Maitreya's body at the same time.

The space seemed to stand still for a moment, and people felt as if a huge stone had fallen in their hearts.

Is it over

No matter how strong the corpse demon is or how good its body is, it will be torn into pieces by such an attack.

But at this moment, Ying Wu suddenly threw out a handful of copper coins again and shot them at every teammate who was nearby.

Everyone was startled and quickly retreated. The hot-tempered Suzaku raised his eyebrows while still retreating: "Ying Wu, you..."

Before he could finish his words, the body of Maitreya, who seemed to be dead, exploded.

As if Ying Wu had been prepared, he formed another strange seal with his hands.

In people's eyes, it seemed as if ripples were generated in space, and then they shattered into pieces like glass.

It should have been an extremely terrifying explosion, but the aftermath only spread three or four feet around at most, no different from a fart.

Ying Wu's body shook slightly, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his face as pale as gold paper.

People then realized that his sneak attack just now was all about forcing everyone to move several feet away at the fastest speed... He took all the rest of the explosion by himself.

Even so, there was still blood and flesh flying all over the sky, and no one knew which piece contained the remaining soul.

Zhuque had scolded the wrong person and felt very embarrassed, so he flew back to the ground and stretched out his hands to support himself.

The flames shot up into the sky and covered the mountain area. All the splattered blood and flesh turned into a sea of fire.

It wasn't Suzaku's fire... it was the fire contained in every piece of flesh and blood. As the flesh and blood spread, Suzaku finally found a way to kill his opponent once and for all.

Zhao Changhe can draw out the other party's evil spirit to kill him, and she, Suzaku, can draw out the fire in Maitreya's body to burn him... It's just that Maitreya's body has too much energy to be drawn out. Isn't now the perfect time

There was a black gas that quietly escaped amidst the fire and thick smoke.

A cloth bag suddenly appeared in front of her. Tang Wanzhuang opened the bag and put the baby in it.

The body was burned, but the soul remained. The Demon Suppression Division was specialized in dealing with these demons and ghosts, and the method of capturing souls had been prepared for a long time.

The cloth bag bulged, as if something was rushing left and right.

Gui Chen suddenly put a talisman next to him.

Budai's conflict became increasingly weak and gradually subsided.

There were loud shouts and cries of killing outside the city. The monks defending the city lost their support and could no longer be a match for Tang Buqi, the Blood God Cult, and the Cao Gang. In an instant, the city gates were broken and the army from Jiangnan rushed in.

Tang Wanzhuang's pale face finally showed a little redness, and she also collapsed to the ground.

Almost everyone collapsed. It was too difficult... Even if they won the battle and wanted to end it completely, there were still so many tricks. It was different from any previous battle.

The battle did not last long. We entered the city in the evening. The setting sun was still blood-red and the sky was full of sunset clouds.

Less than half an hour had passed, but it felt like a cycle of reincarnation had passed.

It's really not that easy to deal with ancient magic involving spirits and strange and bizarre techniques. The people here are very knowledgeable. If they were less knowledgeable, they would probably lose their lives even if they won. Even if they lost their lives, it would not be the end of the matter. There would be endless troubles.

Fortunately... it is now truly resolved.

Zhao Changhe slumped on the ground, turned his head to look at Ying Wu who was also slumped without any strength, and couldn't help asking: "Master Wu, are you going to die? Isn't it better if we all carry it together?"

"We carried it together... I've carried someone to death before, I don't want to do it again, no matter who it is." Ying Wu smiled weakly: "It was my carelessness just now that allowed it to escape. I'm so embarrassed... I'm only trying to make up for it. Don't look at me like that."

Zhao Changhe twitched his lips, and after a while he whispered, "Idiot..."

Ying Wu looked at the long knife wound on his chest and said nothing.

Everyone here is unharmed except two. Who is the idiot

But Ying Wu had to admire him... It could be said that Zhao Changhe's throw of the Dragon Bird was the deciding factor in this battle. He was just a person on the list, but not only did he organize the hunt for gods and demons on the Heaven and Earth Lists, he could even become the key player in this battle between gods and demons.

This is not just about luck.

Zhao Changhe's combat sense and acumen, as well as his ability to grasp opportunities and key points, are truly first-class in the world.

As long as he is given enough time, the Heaven, Earth and Human Ranking will not be his destination at all.

Tang Buqi rushed into the city at high speed and rushed towards Kuaiji Mountain in a hurry.

The monks' blessing is gone, and the battle between gods and demons should be over... But no one came down the mountain for a long time, and Tang Buqi was extremely nervous. Could something have happened to his aunt who always wanted to fight to the death with others

The book of chaos is not flashing...

Just at this moment, a golden light flashed in the sky.

"On March 18, Tang Buqi retreated in the early morning and returned in the evening. While Maitreya was recuperating in the secret realm, he led his men to launch a surprise attack on Kuaiji."

"Tang Wanzhuang, the head of the Demon Suppression Division, sneaked into the city, attacked and killed the city's main general Fazhen, lured Maitreya out of the secret realm, and teamed up with Suzaku to kill Maitreya in the city's meeting hall. Maitreya was transformed into a corpse demon by the Gu, and fought against water and fire again."

Kill...

According to the book of chaotic times, Maitreya was already dead when his head was cut off and a tumor grew on his neck, and the one he fought afterwards was a corpse demon...

"At the same time, the bandit brotherhood Ying Wu, Qinghe Cui Wenjing, Four Elephants Sect Xuanwu, Hongnong Yang Jingxiu, Huayan Temple Yuancheng, Taiyi Sect Guichen, hunted down the ancient remnant soul in the White Lotus Secret Realm. The body occupied by the remnant soul was destroyed and transformed into a corpse demon."

The world opened its mouth wide.

Can you read this list again? What kind of remnant soul is this? It's an honorable defeat, okay

Outside the secret realm, people looked at Ying Wu with a sidelong glance, half-smiled. Sanniang covered her face with a tortoise mask and turned away, looking like she didn't know him...

When I touched the mask, I remembered that Yuan Sanniang was from the Brotherhood. What did she have to do with me, Xuanwu? Sanniang put down her hand covering her face again, and she was confident.

Ying Wu had a blank expression on his face: "I've already told you that this is a business that doesn't make any money. What happened to the Bandit Brotherhood? huh?"

Everyone raised their heads but didn't look at him.

"The corpse demon had no suitable body, so he wanted to use Maitreya as his body; Maitreya fought against Suzaku Tang Wanzhuang and forced his way back to the secret realm."

"Zhao Changhe fought fiercely with the guardian of the secret realm and the Maitreya Dharma outside the secret realm, and cut off the throat with a single sword. Three feet away, he threw a sword to cut off Maitreya's head, and the corpse demon's thoughts of returning were shattered here. The demon's body exploded, and the remaining soul was imprisoned."

"The eight parties will gather to hunt, the demons will surrender, and the chaos in Jiangnan will be settled in one day."

"The Earth Ranking has fallen, and the Human Ranking has changed."

"37th on the Human Ranking, Blood Shura Zhao Changhe."

"It doesn't need to be light green or deep red, it is the best among flowers."
