Knife splashing

Chapter 403 In full swing
"Ah this... do you want to go and see it?"

Hearing that there was danger, Sharifei also became hesitant.

There is no other reason, Shennongjia is really not simple.

Mountain gods, monsters, the Jing people... The experiences of the past two days even made Sharifei doubt whether he was in a dream.

After all, these things are very rare.

After a great battle last night, a huge amount of gunpowder and bullets were consumed, and only a little was left. Moreover, the more dangerous enemy had not yet appeared, so he was naturally frightened.

But if the mountain god hides the key, there must be something fishy.

Maybe it’s some kind of treasure left by gods!
Thinking of this, Sharifei felt itchy again.

"Not urgent."

Li Yan looked up at the sky and said, "It's not the right time to go. There's a fierce fight going on up there. We have to wait for the outcome."

"What the hell?"

Sharifei looked up quickly, but saw that the sky was covered with dark clouds and there seemed to be thunder, but no rain came.

Upon seeing this, Wang Daoxuan quickly explained the situation.

After listening to this, Sharifei immediately complained: "I thought that passing on the information would be enough, but it turns out that all my efforts are in vain."

"This imperial court is too useless. Why don't they just bring in a few hundred artillery pieces and bombard them?"

"It's not that simple."

Wang Daoxuan shook his head and said, "The Tiansheng Sect is at the end of its rope and can't recover. The key is the trapped dragon."

"Like the drought demon, the Jiao is very troublesome to deal with. It is born from the energy of the earth veins. Not only do we need to use the altar to break its flesh body, but we also need to use the treasure bottle to suppress it. The Dragon Locking Wells in various places are designed for this purpose."

"Moreover, this one has some roots. It is the remnant of the ancient Lord of the River God. We must be more cautious in treating it."

"If we are not careful, the people downstream will suffer."

Li Yan, who was standing next to him, heard this and suddenly had an idea.

The Dragon Girl appeared in his dream that night. He later guessed that the Dragon Girl must have established a connection with him with the help of the jade sceptre with dragon pattern.

The trapped dragon is named Mr. Black Scale. Since he absorbed a wisp of dragon energy from Lord Jiangshen, he is of the same origin as the Dragon Girl.

I don't know if the other party has a solution...

He did what he said. After giving some instructions to others, Li Yan came to a secluded place, took out the jade sceptre with dragon pattern and sat cross-legged.

Li Yan pinched the Jade Purity Seal with his left hand, and lightning crackled at his fingertips, transforming into a thunder talisman. At the same time, he held the dragon-patterned jade scepter and chanted, "The dry jade wards off poison, and the spirits of Luo are revived. The Eight Immortals hold axes to command the spirits of the emperors... I wear the Thunder Seal, and I command all spirits. Hurry up and obey the command!"

This is Beidi’s divine control method.

Originally, it was necessary to set up an altar, and summoning gods depended entirely on luck, but with the dragon girl's jade sceptre, direct communication should be possible.

Sure enough, in just a blink of an eye, he entered that wonderful state, half asleep and half awake, and everything around him became unreal.

Wow…

The water rushed in again, submerging his feet. At the same time, a pair of jade arms embraced him from behind, and hair touched his neck.

This time, Li Yan did not lose control.

But he also didn't dare to look back.

On the other side of Liangzi Lake, there is also the legend of the Dragon Girl. Apart from the superficial fairy tales, there are also some taboo stories.

For example, one cannot see the face of the dragon girl, otherwise one must marry her. This seems like a good thing, but some people say that one will be lured into the lake and live with the dragon girl all year round.

The Dragon Girl always appeared from behind, which made him wonder if there was some truth to this taboo.

To avoid accidents, it is better to proceed with caution.

"Mr. Black Scale, do you have any way to deal with it..."

It was difficult to express oneself in the dream, so Li Yan could only recite silently in his heart.

Fortunately, there was a response soon.

There was a flash of light again before his eyes, just like the mountain god "Zou Yu" had performed a secret technique before, guiding his sight and moving forward rapidly.

Soon, they arrived at a high mountain in the northwest, which was shrouded in clouds and mist and had rugged rocks. They reached the top and went through the mountain. Suddenly, a cave appeared in front of them, but it was blocked by a bronze door.

There were eight strange keyholes on it, which matched the keys he got from "Bai Gong"'s belly.

The bronze door seemed to have a force that blocked the view.

Soon, Li Yan suddenly woke up.

He looked to the northwest.

That’s where Shennongding is!
Over there again...

Could it be that the danger I felt yesterday was related to it?

Li Yan also began to feel doubtful.

"Roar--!"

At this moment, a long roar was heard.

When Li Yan and others heard this, they quickly climbed down the cave along the rope.

Sure enough, the mountain god "Zou Yu" finally recovered from his injuries completely. He looked up to the sky and let out a long howl. His black and white hair trembled, showing his extraordinary power.

The "Jingren" around were all jumping for joy.

Seeing them coming, "Zou Yu"'s eyes became gentle, and he bowed slightly and shook his big head.

Sharifei said happily: "Lord Mountain God, you must have slept well. We almost lost our lives. Do you still have the herbs..."

"Don't talk about this yet."

Li Yan stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Senior, there is something I need your help with."

After a stick of incense, everyone climbed out of the cave again.

"Zou Yu" also jumped out of the cave.

He looked up and seemed to have seen the strange fight in the sky, and he let out a long roar towards the sky.

"Roar--!"

The mighty roar instantly shook the mountains and rivers.

After a while, countless animals rushed out from all directions in the dense forest below, including tigers, leopards, jackals, and wolves, as well as some donkey-headed wolves and three coffin beasts.

Even in the distance, there were gods, mountain people, and wild people appearing, all lying on the ground, looking at "Zou Yu" respectfully.

Li Yan immediately understood that with the death of "Bai Gong", "Zou Yu" naturally became the only remaining mountain god in Shennongjia.

Then, the three coffin beasts rumbled up the mountain.

Lu San showed a trace of joy on his face and said with a smile: "Let's go, the mountain god will personally take us to Shennong Peak."

After saying that, he picked up the little fox and jumped onto the back of the coffin beast.

The coffin beast was huge, with a slightly raised back and was very wide, making it difficult to ride. So Lu San threw away the reins and tied them to its horns.

The others followed suit. Sha Lifei and Lu San rode together, Li Yan and Wang Daoxuan rode together, and the largest Wu Ba rode alone, with an excited look on his face, holding on tightly to the horns of the coffin beast.

"Roar!"

There was another desolate howl.

"Zou Yu" jumped high and reached the foot of the mountain in no time. Behind him, wild beasts were galloping. For a moment, the mountains were shaking and thousands of birds were startled and flew away.

Countless wild beasts and mountain monsters gathered together and headed towards Shennong Peak in a mighty force.

The sound of the wind came towards him, and a smile appeared on Li Yan's face.

With the army of wild beasts led by the mountain god, they can deal with any danger calmly.

Rumble!
At this moment, thunder roared in the sky again.

Wang Daoxuan pinched the magic formula, looked up, frowned, and said in a deep voice: "No, something went wrong!"

"what happened?"

Li Yan asked quickly.

Wang Daoxuan asked in confusion: "From what I saw, the two sides were evenly matched before, but now the momentum of Zhenwu Palace has obviously dropped. Something must have gone wrong."

Hearing this, Li Yan looked towards the southeast thoughtfully, "Never mind, we can't help even if we go there, let's go to Shennongding first!"

"Roar!"

The "Zou Yu" in front let out another long howl.

More beasts and mountain monsters joined, and the team became larger and larger...

…………

"kill!"

There were constant shouts and screams in the mountains and forests.

boom! boom! boom!
Cannons roared, trees flew, and body parts scattered everywhere. Almost all of the remaining followers of the Tiansheng Sect went out to attack the imperial army camp.

The demon army, which usually appears and disappears mysteriously, finally shows up.

Each of them has more or less some beast characteristics, with long hair, vertical pupils, sharp claws, and eyes full of ferocity.

There are a total of a thousand demon soldiers in the Tiansheng Sect. Many of them were killed or wounded in the past few months, but there are still five or six hundred left.

They were extremely fast and even equipped with muskets. The ordinary soldiers of the court were no match for them.

Like a sharp knife, it directly broke through the outer defense line of the imperial army.

Following closely behind were the elite members of the Tiansheng Sect.

They either lined up and fired guns, or marched forward with shields.

In the rear, there were countless crazy believers, wearing tattered clothes, holding rusty knives and broken swords, ready to charge at any time.

The news of the resurrection of "Tian Sheng Gong" boosted their morale.

"Form a formation and fire continuously!"

The short and stocky general drew his sword and roared.

The army in front immediately formed a battle formation. In the front were three rows of musketeers, who took turns firing, and in the back were archers, who all bent their bows.

In suppressing the rebellion this time, the imperial court not only had to completely solve the problem of the Jingxiang mountain people that had plagued them for thousands of years, but also had to train troops at the same time.

Firstly, there have been no large-scale wars for many years since the rebellion in the northern border was suppressed and the Maitreya Sect was wiped out in Guanzhong, and today's soldiers are almost all newcomers.

Secondly, with the development of firearms, new tactics also need to be deduced and trained, and the Jingxiang riots are the whetstone.

According to the Marshal's plan to suppress the rebellion, he sharpened his knives and attacked the Tusi city in one fell swoop.

This musket triple method was developed in recent months and is most practical in large-scale wars.

On a hill not far away, a group of people were watching the area below.

The leader was the resurrected Xiao Tianxiong.

He looked at the battlefield below, his eyes full of blood, and said with interest: "I never thought that the progress of firearms would be so rapid in less than a hundred years of my sleep."

"Reply to the leader."

The right-hand man bowed and said, "We have mastered the method of forging new firearms. As long as we enter Miao territory, we can make a large number of them with the help of the geographical advantages and spiritual materials there. Then, we can rely on the Hundred Thousand Mountains to deal with the imperial court."

"it is good!"

Xiao Tianxiong nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well done, but the most urgent task is to break the Wudang Niubizi technique first."

"Move faster and break through the imperial army formation."

"Follow the law!"

The right prime minister nodded respectfully, took out a bull horn from his bosom and blew it.

The left prime minister standing next to him saw this and showed a hint of mockery in the corner of his eyes.

As soon as they came back, the right prime minister was in a hurry to show his loyalty and flatter him, obviously wanting to steal his position.

In the past, this would have been a life-and-death situation.

But now, the left prime minister is eager for someone to share the attention.

beep--!
The horn sounded long and loud, and the Tiansheng Sect's team changed again.

Suddenly, a dozen strong figures appeared.

They are also a demon army, practicing the evil art of immortality in their demon bodies, but they practice by devouring the hearts of demon bears. Each of them is huge in size, not much different from Wu Ba.

The difference is that these people are covered with black hair and have fangs in their mouths. They no longer look like humans, and they are holding giant muskets in their hands.

This musket is smaller than a cannon, but several times larger than a rifle. The muzzle is as thick as a bowl and more than one meter long, with a handle on top. These giants carry it forward with both hands.

There were also soldiers around them who were responsible for starting fires.

laugh!
The giant musket was ignited while still outside the range of the imperial muskets.

Boom boom boom!
There was a series of explosions, and pellets shot out like a waterfall.

The imperial musketeers' bodies suddenly showed bloody holes and they fell to the ground without breathing. The army formation was also broken.

The right prime minister on the mountain said proudly: "Master, this is the fire gun army of our Tiansheng Sect, and it can defeat anything!"

"good."

Xiao Tianxiong nodded and looked to the side, "Everyone, let's get started."

Master Lu and others of the Ghost Cult had already set up an altar. Upon hearing this, they immediately opened the altar and waved their swords and flags.

It was already daytime and they were unable to mobilize the troops, but after they performed the ritual, a large amount of miasma immediately surged in from the direction of Shennongjia, gathered into fog, and floated towards the imperial army.

"Friend Huang, let's go!"

Xiao Tianxiong snorted coldly and suddenly jumped down.

Master Huang Liu flicked his blood-red robe and followed closely behind.

One of them was a former master, and the other was a zombie whose bones had not yet decayed. Both of them had the ability to take the heads of generals in the chaos of an army, hide in the miasma, and rush towards the imperial camp.

On the altar in the camp, Yu Longzi had disheveled hair, waved a sword and pointed it at the sky, his forehead covered with cold sweat.

After fighting all night, he was exhausted.

He didn't know who was on the other side, but their skills were no less than his, and there was more than one person.

But Yulongzi knew that at this moment, he had to fight for his life.

Whoever retreats first will completely lose the fight.

"Five Dragons, protect the altar!"

Feeling threatened, Yulongzi immediately shouted angrily.

The Tiansheng Sect had less than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and at this moment they were attacking desperately, obviously intending to destroy his altar.

If they fail and leave early, they will have no choice but to give way.

"Yes, Master!"

The Five Dragon Sons were originally guarding the altar, but they jumped out immediately upon hearing this.

"Zhenwu Seven Star Sword Formation!"

Sensing the danger, Gu Linzi did not dare to be careless. With a roar, the remaining disciples of Zhenwu Palace immediately gathered.

Clang clang!
The Taoists drew their swords one after another and formed a sword formation.

They simultaneously made sword gestures with their hands, stepped on the sword steps, stabbed upwards, slashed downwards, and swung their swords left and right in unison.

It looked like they were practicing swordsmanship, but there was a murderous aura rising from everyone's body, and it gathered on the five dragons.

This is the advanced application of martial arts.

In the distance, miasma surged over, and the soldiers along the way scattered. Those who were unable to dodge in time inhaled the miasma and suddenly felt dizzy and fell to the ground.

"kill!"

A group of demon soldiers rushed into the camp with bloodshot eyes.

Bang bang bang!
A loud roar was heard, and it was the Duwei Division's musketeers who appeared and smashed the demon army rushing in the front into pieces.

Amidst the flying of flesh and blood, two figures, one white and one red, came flying at a rapid speed. Their shapes flickered constantly, and the people from the Duwei Division had no way of aiming at them.

The visitors were none other than Xiao Tianxiong and Master Huang Liu.

"Tian Gang Bagua plays Tian Shu!"

Gu Linzi shouted angrily, and the Taoists all waved their swords, changing the swords left and right, and the sword lights intertwined to block the two men.

"Hahaha…"

Xiao Tianxiong laughed wantonly and said, "After so many years, how come Zhang Sanfeng's disciple still only knows this!"

Before he finished speaking, the five dragon sons raised their swords at the same time, made a gesture and slapped out with their palms, and immediately a strong wind blew around them.

Xiao Tianxiong quickly stepped back, his eyes narrowed slightly.
"Five Elements Gangsha, what are you...?"

…………

Just when the altar of Zhenwu Palace was attacked, Li Yan and others also arrived at Shennongding.

"follow me!"

Following the hint given by the Dragon Girl, they found a hidden cave nearby, made many detours, and entered the mountain.

Shennongding is the highest peak of Daba Mountain. Although the dragon veins are scattered and the innate evil spirits cannot gather in this blessed place, it has two yin and yang caves.

The place where Master Huang Liu and others resurrected Lord Tiansheng is in the shade of Shennong Peak, a cave where evil spirits gather.

Li Yan led everyone into the Yangxue...
