The Star River Era! The Dimensional Freedom Demon

Like a raging torrent, every step it took caused a watermelon to explode with a bang.

The invisible aura grows ever stronger and more prominent as life fades away.

A hundred meters away, Adha, the monk Zheng Hui, and Rezaba Hutuktu were all panting heavily, feeling as if their hearts were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, making them feel uncomfortable and oppressed.

Under the pressure of Ji Chen's aura, the spiritual imagery condensed from their mastered skills was triggered.

The wolves howl, and frost and snow cover the mountains and rivers.

The Vajra glares fiercely, and the Vajra pestle shines brightly.

Yamantaka is a wrathful deity with nine heads, thirty-four arms, and sixteen legs, and is engulfed in flames.

"We can't give him any more time to build up his momentum!"

"Even a Grandmaster of True Strength would find it difficult to break through the army's formation!"

"Make your move! Success or failure hinges on this!"

The three exchanged a glance and immediately understood what the others were thinking.

Then Adah drew his bow and nocked an arrow, imbuing the arrow with the spirit of the blue wolf.

The Grand Lama Rezaba Hutuktu, engulfed in flames, fearlessly charged forward to meet the attack.

In a short moment, his withered hands slapped out sixty-eight times, leaving a trail of afterimages.

Half of the sixty-eight palms were destroyed by the thunderous attack, and then, under the blazing sun, they vanished like demons and monsters. Only eighteen palms reached Ji Chen.

As if he had attained Arhatship on the spot, free from confusion and delusion, the Vajra pierced through the ocean of thunder and, bearing the scorching sun, directly met Ji Chen's palm.

duang!

Like the resounding of a great bell, the mud and rocks within a radius of three zhang (approximately 10 meters) swirled up, a strong wind arose, and the muffled sound caused the eardrums of the Qingting soldiers within a radius of one hundred meters to ring, and blood to flow from their six orifices.

Ji Chen received the monk's attack with his left palm, but his body remained perfectly still. With his right hand, he smoothly extended his gleaming silver spear, ignoring the eighteen large slaps the lama was about to deliver to his head, and pierced through the monk's chest with a single thrust.

Ji Chen flicked his wrist, and the blood-soaked gun seemed to emit a dragon's roar.

Subsequently, the great lama who was in charge of Buddhist affairs in a region and was both feared and respected by countless Tibetans scattered amidst their resentful gazes.

The Shaolin monks, who were also at the third stage of Qi and Blood Transformation, were so horrified by this scene that they almost lost their composure and their mental focus nearly collapsed.

Ji Chen's eyes lit up slightly, and he was about to seize this opportunity to kill the monk who had shown a weakness.

Just then, a fierce and violent aura swept over, carrying the power to shatter iron like mud, and suddenly stabbed towards Ji Chen's eye socket.

Adalha's most powerful arrow of his life has arrived.

In order to kill Ji Chen, this arrow was infused with his entire spirit and will, and took away most of his vital energy.

Even Ji Chen had to be cautious about this arrow.

Ji Chen's chest bulged high, as if a whale were inhaling, and countless people around him felt their breathing become labored.

hold head high!!!

Like a thunderous dragon breathing, boundless thunder appeared in this place.

The spiritual impact attached to Adha's arrow was dispelled by the roar, and the arrow itself became unstable due to the impact of the massive airflow.

The wolf-tooth arrow trembled, its momentum greatly diminished, and then its trajectory slightly changed, shooting towards some unlucky guy behind Ji Chen.

The Shaolin monk's head was buzzing from the roar, his vision was filled with stars, his stomach was churning, he felt nauseous but couldn't vomit, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

Ji Chen was kind-hearted and could not bear to see Buddhist disciples suffer so much. He stepped forward despite his own exhaustion, wielding his sword with lightning speed, to help the master ascend to the Western Paradise.

If even a monk undergoing the three transformations of Qi and Blood is like this, then the Qingting soldiers around him are even more so.

Those whose heads exploded, who died bleeding from all seven orifices, whose internal organs resonated and turned to dust...

Those who were lucky enough to survive all suffered severe internal injuries, or had their eyes ruptured and gone blind.

Wherever he looked, the Qing court soldiers who were still standing retreated, abandoning their armor and weapons, avoiding him like the plague.

He seemed to be a prehistoric beast that devoured people.

Ji Chen chuckled, then his laughter grew louder and louder, forming a rolling sound that echoed throughout the hilly area.

Adah, with his hair disheveled, smiled blankly, as if he couldn't see Ji Chen at all.

"It's fake! It's all fake!"

"How could it be so easy? I must be delirious, I must be dreaming."

After saying that, he kowtowed to the ground.

"I've heard that there's no pain in dreams..."

"Why does it hurt! Why does it hurt?!"

Adha kowtowed until his head was covered in blood, but the dream showed no sign of fading away.

He finally faced reality, but cowered and buried his head in the ground, not daring to face Ji Chen who was walking towards him. Not only that, he even wanted to cover his ears.

He wouldn't have been in such a bad state, but his spirit and will had been broken by Ji Chen's arrow earlier.

Thus, Ji Chen became his living nightmare.

Ji Chen stepped forward and picked up the black longbow next to him.

As Ji Chen drew the bow, his arm muscles bulged instantly, and the muscles in his back also bulged. He used almost 90% of his strength to draw the bow to its fullest extent.

Then he shot right through the admiral who was pretending to be dead while buried in the pile of corpses.

Incidentally, the ground there was blasted open, creating a crater more than a meter deep.

"A fine bow!"

He then glanced at the thief who had stolen his precious bow and shot him dead with an arrow as well.

The core of Qingting's 40,000-strong army was wiped out in one fell swoop, and the outcome was already predetermined.

When Ji Chen brought the admiral's head and cut the commander's flag, the morale of the 40,000-strong army immediately plummeted.

Some fled north in all directions, while others abandoned their armor and knelt down to surrender.

However, Ji Chen left the rest to Zhang Shunwu, while he himself leisurely returned to Cangwu City with the precious bow with its sixteen stones and the Hongyi cannon.

The Hongyi cannon was a powerful siege weapon, and Ji Chen's northern expedition would not have been possible without its assistance.

The battle report exploded like thunder, spreading throughout the entire country in just two days. The heavy losses suffered by the Qing Dynasty in this battle were terrifying.

Three powerful warriors at the third stage of Qi and Blood Transformation, 40,000 elite soldiers, two Hongyi cannons, thirteen Frankish cannons, and countless supplies.

This is no longer a matter of serious injury.

It had already reached the point of amputation!

After this battle, the north was shrouded in gloom and the entire capital was enveloped in a low-pressure atmosphere.

Because of Ji Chen, the situation in southern Daqing has completely deteriorated.

Undercurrents surged, chaos reigned, warlords rose up, and the era of the strongest army ruling was upon us.

Four days later, the five prefectures in the southwest of Bingzhou all fell into Ji Chen's hands.

He then led an army of 50,000 men along Cangwu Pass into Luling Prefecture, officially beginning his campaign to conquer Yangzhou.

With the aid of the Hongyi cannons and the sixteen-stone bow, ordinary cities were like paper to Ji Chen.

Blind firing of cannons disrupted the city's defensive deployment, while Ji Chen used a powerful bow to fire at the upper levels.

Once the process is completed, no one can handle it.

He visited Luling again, and it surrendered immediately.

In the following seven days, Baoying Prefecture and Guangxin Prefecture fell.

In this way, Ji Chen's sphere of influence has surrounded Hongdu from three sides, and its eastern border is now fully adjacent to the Heaven and Earth Society's forces.

At this point, Ji Chen stopped.

Three Grandmasters of True Strength came to block him from the vicinity of Guangxin Prefecture.

Chen Jingliang, the Grand Master of the Heaven and Earth Society; Liu Hongtian, the Supreme Elder of the White Sun Sect; and Zhang Jichang, the Contemporary Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain.

The four people were more than a hundred miles apart, but their minds instantly connected, and the invisible but dangerous battle of their mental consciousness never stopped.
