Knife splashing

Chapter 321 Cause and Effect Killing

When the dragon boat exploded, the sneak attack on Lianxi Temple had already begun.

Although it is one of the four major Zen monasteries in Ezhou, Lianxi Temple is a nunnery after all, so it is relatively secluded. Only women from Wuchang City occasionally come here to burn incense.

Most of the people in the temple are monks who practice hermitage.

This temple was built on Panlong Mountain and most of the time it does not care about worldly affairs. If it were not for the safety of the three cities of Wuchang and the real shortage of manpower, all the masters would not have been transferred away.

There must be a reason why Po Liu Han Baling hid here.

Firstly, a secret hiding room was left when the temple was first built. Secondly, the most precious treasure in the temple, the Black Jade Guanyin, was specially cast by his men when he proclaimed himself the "True King" to pray for him.

To some extent, it can be considered as his blessed place. If he hides here, the Black Jade Guanyin will not give any warning, so it is difficult for him to be discovered.

But he didn't expect that there would be an old man from Donghu with profound Taoism who could use the round light technique to find his whereabouts.

When the raid took place, the nuns at Lianxi Temple were also holding a ritual to celebrate the birthday of the Vajra King Buddha, the guardian of the nation.

There was no time to react, and many people were killed directly, while the rest hid in the temple to resist.

There was only one passage to the secret room, which was left in the stream outside the temple. Po Liu Han Baling had already fought his way out of the encirclement, but turned back and stood outside the temple with a knife.

At this moment, only the old, weak and sick were left in the temple. Some were seriously injured and lying on the ground wailing, while others looked deathly pale and recited Buddhist scriptures silently.

There were hundreds of people from the Tiansheng Sect and Tusi City, and they had surrounded the entire temple.

It's not that they are kind-hearted, but Po Liu Han Baling is holding the Red Mohe threat in his hand, and if they get any closer, he will destroy it.

"Hand over your things?"

Po Liu Han Baling was covered in blood, but he didn't care. He just looked at Wang Hufa coldly and said, "I have seen many people like you. Hand over your things, or they will die."

"Hahaha…"

Princess Tan Yun'er of Tusi City laughed sweetly, fiddling with the strange insect in her hand, and sneered, "Po Liu Han Baling, this name was very famous at the beginning, I thought it was very great."

"Back then, you dared to rise up and claim to be king, and you killed countless people. Why are you protecting these Han people now? Have you become stupid after studying Buddhism?"

As he spoke, his eyes were full of seduction, "You were also a hero in your time. We don't care about the resurrected. If you are willing, I will marry you. When things are done in the future, you can also become a king."

Po Liu Han Baling's eyes were calm, "I think you are the ones who don't know what you are talking about. What you sow today will have consequences tomorrow. The hatred in this world has always been accumulating."

"Zhao Changsheng's goal is to cause chaos in China and steal its fortune. Have you ever thought about what fate the Miao people will face if this plan succeeds and the three cities of Wuchang are destroyed?"

"And your Tiansheng Sect said that it would help thousands of refugees seek justice, but what have you done?"

"They are just people who are greedy for power and status..."

Qin Yun'er's eyes were full of impatience. "Isn't this how things are in this world? Did you have any good intentions in the first place?"

"Back then, the small town of Wuchuan was able to produce three great emperors and enjoy the fortune of China for four hundred years. Why can't we do the same?"

"Hahaha…"

Now it was Po Liu Han Baling's turn to be happy. He shook his head and said:
"You guys...really can't do that."

When Qin Yuner heard this, her eyes were filled with anger and murderous intent.

"never mind!"

Guardian Wang looked into the distance with a gloomy look in his eyes, "He is just talking nonsense to delay time, take action!"

Lianxi Temple is only eight miles away from the east of Wuchang City.

The timing they chose was clever, and the dragon boat event attracted most of the attention, but time was far from sufficient.

At the command, the Miao people and Tiansheng Sect followers in the rear immediately raised their bows and crossbows and fired sharp arrows.

More than twenty of them carried muskets, but just like the unlucky Shi Chen, because of the rain and improper operation, the gunpowder was wet and the muskets could not fire.

It was for this reason that Lianxi Temple was not taken in one fell swoop.

"Humph!"

Po Liu Han Baling snorted coldly and stood up directly. Although he held the sword with one hand, his sword skills had reached the pinnacle. He didn't even use hidden power. He just swept left and right and lifted up to deflect the flying arrows one by one.

The rain of arrows before him was nothing compared to the battlefield back then.

The people on the opposite side had already seen how powerful he was, and they didn't expect the bows and crossbows to be able to hurt him, they just wanted to interfere.

The Fu siblings were also in the formation. They suddenly lowered their bodies, burst out with hidden strength under their feet, and flew out from both sides. At the same time, the meteor shuttles in their hands danced, piercing through the rain curtain like poisonous snakes, and stabbed towards Po Liu Han Baling.

At the same time, Alangpo and Qin Yuner released their own poisonous insects, one was a swarm of poisonous mosquitoes and the other was a flying-winged centipede.

And Dharma Protector Wang once again raised the Divine Fire Spear.

Unlike the powerful imperial court, although both the Tiansheng Sect and the Longxiang Army had seized new firearms, they were severely short of the "coal spirit" and "red saltpeter" required to configure the new gunpowder.

Therefore, they use it very economically.

Like this time when Protector Wang came out, even with his status, he could not carry much, only enough to fire thirty rounds.

Every time you shoot, be careful.

If you want to capture this broken Han Baling as quickly as possible, even if he only has one arm left, you can only use the Divine Fire Spear.

Sure enough, seeing everyone attacking, Po Liu Han Baling no longer hid his strength. He suddenly pinched his fingers to cast a spell and spat a mouthful of blood onto the blade.

An explosive and evil aura rose from his body.

"Gang Jin?"

When the Fu siblings saw this, their scalps went numb and they quickly retreated.

However, it was already too late.

Po Liu Han Baling suddenly exerted force, and with a bang, there was a splash of mud under his feet, and the whole person disappeared.

When he appeared again, he had already come to the side of the eldest brother of the Fu family. With a flash of knife, visible energy cut through the rain curtain and passed by him.

puff!
The eldest brother of the Fu family was cut in half with a single knife. His lower body was still running, but his upper body had fallen to the ground. He was struggling and screaming, with blood and internal organs scattered all over the place.

"Big brother!"

The girl from the Fu family screamed, but she didn't dare to step forward. She screamed at Protector Wang, "Didn't you say he could only transform his energy at best? What's going on?"

There is a world of difference between Hua Jin and Gang Jin.

Hua Jin is just the application of one's own strength, but Gang Jin can gather the evil energy of Gang and transform it into Gang attack, which is as powerful as the martial arts of the same level.

However, it is not easy for most people to cultivate Dan Jin in their lifetime, let alone the higher level of Gang Jin. Without talent, it is difficult to enter this door at all.

Wang the Dharma Protector said gloomily, "It consumes the spirit to temporarily improve, but after death the soul will be scattered and it will be difficult to reincarnate. Why do you want to do this?"

Po Liu Han Baling held his long sword horizontally, looked at the thunder surging in the sky, and then looked at the corpses on the ground, with fatigue in his eyes that could not be concealed, "Tired."

"Perhaps from the beginning, I shouldn't have returned to the world..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he flashed and disappeared in an instant.

Protector Wang felt frightened and stepped back quickly.

Tan Yun'er, who was standing next to her, also felt that something was wrong. She swung her skirt, and dense poison needles shot out, while she quickly retreated.

Here, we can see the difference.

Alangpo also wanted to retreat, but her blood and energy were exhausted, and she could not fight or kick, so she could only use witchcraft to control the wild men under her.

But it was too late in such a short time.

The long-haired savage below had just raised his big axe when the figure of Po Liu Han Baling appeared in the air behind her. Without even turning his head, he swung his axe and chopped at her.

puff!
Alangpo's head flew up instantly. Po Liu Han Baling was about to chop off the savage's head, but when he saw the poisonous insect behind his head, he shook his head slightly, stopped the knife, and stepped on it in the air.

Bang!
The savage's huge body rolled out, hit his head against the wall and fainted.

However, Po Liu Han Baling had already used this force to fly out and fell directly into the formation of Tiansheng Sect and Miao people.

Those who can come here are all masters of martial arts, but in front of Han Baling, who is fighting for his life, they are no different from children.

In the crowd, the figure of Po Liu Han Baling shuttled quickly, blood flowed from his body and fell into the knife along his arm.

The knife flashed, blood mist filled the air, and it turned into streaks of blood. Wherever it passed, broken limbs flew everywhere.

This situation made Protector Wang and Tan Yuner terrified.

Only then did they understand why the Ghost Cult leader Zhao Changsheng had gone through so much trouble to resurrect this man.

He was originally a ruthless man who stirred up trouble in the Six Towns, and later he learned many secret techniques. If his strength had not yet recovered after coming back to life, and if he had not been seriously injured by the sneak attack, they would probably not have had any chance at all.

In a hurry, Protector Wang didn't care about anything else. He suddenly raised the magic gun and pulled the trigger while running.

boom!
There was a loud bang, and fire and smoke flew everywhere.

Two shots had been fired just now, but Po Liu Han Baling was prepared and dodged them with his strong perception.

Therefore, Protector Wang changed the magazine to a special one, which contained not a lead bullet but many small iron pieces.

Po Liu Han Baling still relied on his perception to avoid the gunshot, but this time he miscalculated. He felt a sharp pain all over his body and fell to the ground.

Half of the body was covered with cracks.

The Tiansheng believers and Miao people next to them were not in a much better condition, with blood splattering all over their bodies. Some fell to the ground screaming in pain, while some were unlucky enough to be shot directly into the head and heart by iron pieces and died.

"Roar!"

Po Liu Han Baling roared, stood up with the help of his broken sword, his body covered in blood and mud, like a demon god.

The people around who were not affected were frightened by his aura and retreated one after another. Even Protector Wang's breathing paused and he took two steps back.

However, when Po Liu Han Baling tried to exert his strength again, he felt that all his strength was dissipating like the tide. He lowered his head to look at his chest, and saw a wound there, with blood gushing out.

"Hahaha, let's see if you can survive!"

Protector Wang laughed wildly, but still did not dare to get close. Instead, he drew a scimitar from his waist and threw it out.

clang!
Po Liu Han Baling raised his sword hard to block it, but he also stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

He gritted his teeth, suddenly pulled out a red jade from his neck, placed it on the ground, and then, using his last bit of strength, chopped it off with a knife.

"do not want!"

Protector Wang exclaimed.

Ding!
There was only a crisp sound, and the blade rolled back. The Red Mohe was flung out and fell to the ground without any harm!
A trace of disappointment flashed across Po Liu Han Baling's eyes, and then the look gradually faded.

"Fuck you!"

Protector Wang couldn't help but curse.

Only then did he realize that it was not that Po Liu Han Baling did not want to, but that he was simply unable to destroy this national treasure of the Tang Dynasty, and he had been pretending to be so and had deceived them for a long time.

Without any hesitation, he rushed forward, picked up the red Mohe, threw it out, and shouted angrily: "Quick, send it away!"

The three brothers of Meishan Dharma Sect were also on the periphery.

They couldn't get involved in a battle of this level at all, and could only lead their men to shoot arrows and launch surprise attacks.

The eldest of the three brothers caught the Red Mohe, put it into a leather bag, and threw it high into the air.

Call ~
There was a cry in the air, and the night owl they controlled flapped its wings, grabbed the leather bag, and flew away quickly.

At the same time, there were several sharp screams.

The leader of the Meishan brothers said anxiously: "Wang Protector, the news has been leaked, the vanguard battalion of the Wuchang City Guard has arrived."

"Quick, let's go!"

At a command from Protector Wang, everyone retreated without caring about the wounded on the ground.

At this moment, Po Liu Han Baling was still leaning on his knife, half-squatting on the ground, motionless, covered in blood.

"Don't worry about him, he's dead!"

Seeing someone was about to go up, Protector Wang scolded him directly.

However, Qin Yun'er ignored him completely, sneered, approached quickly, swung the scimitar in her hand, and chopped off the head of Po Liu Han Baling.

She held the head in her hand, stared into those calm eyes, and sneered: "Humph, I'll show you, if you six towns can do it, we can do it in Tusi City too!"

After saying that, he quickly evacuated with everyone.

At the same time, in the main hall of Lianxi Temple, several old nuns looked behind them in shock. The black jade Guanyin statue suddenly cracked with a sound...

…………

"Something happened at Lianxi Temple?"

Looking at the busy monks in Yuquan Temple, Li Yan was a little surprised, "Why are they attacking there?"

His place is some distance away from Wuchang City, and news travels slowly there.

First, there was a problem with the dragon boat race. Lu San took action at the critical moment and successfully completed the Feng Shui Bureau with the help of Master Tu. He also got the promise of King Wuchang...

When Li Yan was praising Lu San and others for their cleverness, bad news came again: Lianxi Temple was besieged by monsters.

He had heard something about Lianxi Temple, but it was just a nunnery. He couldn't understand what could attract such a demon.

The guardian monk of Yuquan Temple shook his head and said, "I don't know either. He just asked us to go and rescue them immediately."

"Do you want me to help you?"

"The imperial guards have already arrived, and there are many masters from my Buddhist sect as well. Master Li just needs to take care of this side."

The monk was obviously a little anxious, and left in a hurry after saying this.

Li Yan shook his head slightly and didn't ask any more questions.

The feng shui situation has been completed. Both the imperial court and the Buddhist masters have been able to withdraw their hands. It would be useless for him to go there.

Besides, we can’t do without people here.

Thinking of this, Li Yan looked across again, and saw that Master Lu was busy consecrating Lu San's bone flower.

Next to it, there are several pieces of earth dragon leather armor waiting to complete the final step and be consecrated.

Rumble!
There was a roar of thunder in the sky. Li Yan looked at the sky with an oil-paper umbrella and continued to wait with peace of mind.

After finishing all these instruments, I'm afraid I'll have to wait until dark...

…………

Wow!
In the rolling thick fog, a black shadow flapped its wings and fell down. It was the Night Owl of the Meishan Dharma Brothers.

The surrounding white fog contained the White Tiger Evil, which ordinary people could not detect, but this Night Owl was so frightened that it was shaking all over and could not stand steadily after landing.

“Finally got it…”

Accompanied by the old voice, a pair of hands covered in mud took the red Mohe out of the leather bag...
