Uncle Nine: Scattering beans to create soldiers? I'm using plants and trees to create soldiers.

In the deserted village, torrential rain poured down.

Wooden plaques, five-colored banners, soul-summoning bells, small pagodas...

Several evil artifacts trembled simultaneously, emitting a low humming sound.

Five evil lights—blue, red, yellow, white, and black—swiftly moved along the surface of the water, leaving behind pools of sewage wherever they passed.

Blurry ghost faces emerged from the water, spreading outwards along the five evil lights, instantly enveloping the area within dozens of feet of the altar.

boom!

Five evil lights connected end to end, the Five Yin Killing Array completely closed!

The cries of agony mingled with the thunder, pressing in from all directions!

Wang Meng stood in one of the formation positions, his hands quickly forming hand seals.

The clay statue of Huangya in front of him was empowered by the killing array, and its withered body rapidly expanded, growing to more than ten feet tall in the blink of an eye.

The moist yellow mud bulged up in layers like muscles, and five-colored evil patterns lit up one after another on the chest and limbs.

A fierce aura, far surpassing the previous one, suddenly spread out!

Sensing the surging power within the clay figure, Wang Meng's eyes finally regained a bit of confidence.

The Five Yin Killing Formation uses five colored essences corresponding to the five internal organs, with the five people's qi connected and evil weapons assisting them.

Once the formation is complete, it can not only suppress the opponent's magical power, but also allow the five people's internal organs to circulate and complement each other.

Today's Huangya clay sculptures are at least twice as good as before!

Based on the intensity of the fight just now, this punch would be enough to shatter the axe-wielding crab general, armor and all, into pieces!

"kill!"

Wang Meng let out a sharp shout.

The mud and water burst open at the feet of the Huangya clay figure.

Its massive, cumbersome body unexpectedly unleashed a speed completely disproportionate to its size.

A yellow shadow tore through the rain and instantly appeared before the crab general.

A fist the size of a small millstone, carrying a foul, yellowish stench, slammed head-on into the crab general's chest.

Before the fist had even truly landed, the surging wind had already pushed away all the rainwater around the crab.

The golden light in the crab's eyes intensified slightly. It took a step forward, gripped its golden axe tightly, and fiercely cleaved down to meet the mud man's fist!

Boom!

The fist and axe collided with a muffled, thunderous sound.

The surrounding water was violently stirred up by the force, turning into a wave several feet high that spread outwards with a roar.

Wang Meng's lips had just curled into a smile when his expression suddenly froze.

The scene he had envisioned, where the crab was smashed to pieces with a single punch, did not occur. The golden axe came to a steady stop on the yellow bud clay figure's fist!

Although the crab general's feet were sank several inches into the mud, its body remained as steady as a rock, and even the water armor covering its body did not break down.

On the contrary, a deep gash was cut into the fist of the clay figure by the sharp axe blade!

From within the crack, golden light spread outwards like flames.

Wherever the yellow clay buds were touched by the golden light, wisps of black smoke immediately rose from their surface.

"impossible!"

Wang Meng's pupils suddenly contracted.

He could clearly sense that Huang Ya Ni Tai's punch was indeed enhanced by the killing formation.

Both its strength and speed far surpass those of before.

But the Crab General's power increased even more!

The Yin energy of the Five Yin Killing Formation had just invaded the crab general's body when it was dispersed by the layer of brilliant golden light.

The formation, originally intended to suppress the enemy's magical power, had almost no effect on it.

"roar!"

The yellow bud clay figure roared silently, and its other clay hand suddenly reached out and grabbed the crab general's shoulder.

The thick, five fingers suddenly tightened, and the damp yellow mud spread rapidly along the cracks in the water armor, attempting to invade the crab general's body and pollute the water palace's spiritual energy that maintained the soldiers' and horses' forms.

The water on the crab's shoulder rippled violently.

However, the next moment, the golden-patterned Soul-Suppressing Vine hidden beneath the water armor suddenly tightened.

Dark gold vines intertwined like tendons and bones, not only firmly supporting the water armor, but also several vine tips sprouted out and wrapped around the mud figure's wrist.

boom!

Golden light burst forth from the vine patterns, and the five fingers of the yellow bud clay figure shattered, turning into countless filthy lumps of mud that splashed and fell into the water!

Wang Meng's face turned pale, and he staggered back half a step.

"These are no ordinary naval troops!"

"Those vines can suppress evil spirits and spells!"

He finally realized that the crab general in front of him was no longer the same army that had been formed from the spiritual energy of the Water Palace.

The altar blessed him, golden light enveloped his body, and spiritual vines transformed into armor!

With the superposition of the three forces, the weakness of the Water Palace soldiers' unstable form was compensated, and their strength increased dramatically!

the other side,

Even the alchemist holding the five-colored banner was forced into a sorry state by the shrimp soldiers.

The shrimp soldiers were already swift, and now, enhanced by the golden light...

His entire figure almost transformed into a streak of golden-blue light weaving through the rain.

The alchemist could only see a flash of golden light before his eyes.

In an instant, the sharp spearhead was already piercing his chest!

"Spiritual protection!"

The alchemist cried out in alarm, grabbing the five-colored banner with both hands and swinging it forcefully.

The tattered banner suddenly bulged up.

Five spirits flew out from the banner, transforming into five ghost faces of different colors—blue, red, yellow, white, and black—that blocked his way.

They opened their blood-red mouths and spewed out five-colored yin energy, attempting to defile the golden spears in the hands of the shrimp soldiers.

But just as the yin energy surged out, the golden light on the spearhead suddenly intensified.

laugh!

Golden light pierced through the dark mist.

The blue-faced demon at the very front didn't even have time to dodge before the spear pierced through its forehead!

"what!"

A heart-wrenching scream echoed through the rain.

With a flick of his wrist, the shrimp soldier spun his spear, tearing a fist-sized hole in the blue ghost face.

The remaining four spirits pounced on the shrimp soldiers from different directions, hoping to overwhelm them with numbers.

However, the next moment, countless golden gun shadows simultaneously erupted!

Dangdang Dangdang!

The spearheads and the spirits clashed repeatedly.

Each collision explodes into a dazzling golden light in the rain.

The shrimp soldiers' spear thrusts were incredibly fast.

Before the previous shot had been completely withdrawn, the next shot had already been thrust out from another tricky angle.

Thrust, poke, sweep, chop!

In just a few breaths, the golden spear shadows had already covered the alchemist's entire body.

A hole.

Two holes.

Three holes!

The five-colored spirits were pierced by the spearhead one after another, and holes emitting golden light appeared on their bodies.

boom!

The first essence exploded with a bang.

Then came the second and the third!

"No!"

The alchemist, holding the five-colored banner, had eyes wide with rage as he desperately poured the essence of his five internal organs into the banner in an attempt to preserve his remaining vital essence.

However, the shrimp soldier suddenly turned around and spun his spear, the spear tip drawing in golden light that transformed into a dazzling arc, slicing the last two spirits into fragments at the same time!

The five-colored essences were completely destroyed!

The alchemist holding the five-colored banner was struck as if by a heavy blow, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, tearing five narrow slits in the banner.

At the same time, another alchemist with a floating wooden sign above his head was also forced to retreat repeatedly by a water-armored soldier.

The wooden plaque cast a large swath of earthy yellow light, which solidified into a thick layer of yellow earth armor on its surface.

In the past, even a Taoist priest with advanced magic swords would find it difficult to break through this layer of armor with a single blow.

But the water-armored soldiers don't need magic swords at all!

It clenched its fist, and the golden-patterned Soul-Suppressing Vine on its arm quickly coiled around it, transforming in the blink of an eye into a dark gold gauntlet.

The water soldier lowered his waist slightly, stomped on the ground, twisted his hips, and threw a punch in one smooth motion.

boom!

The dark gold fist slammed head-on into the yellow earth armor.

A large amount of rainwater burst out to both sides in an instant!

The alchemist felt as if he had been struck head-on by a massive boulder; the dull force traveled through his armor into his chest, causing his internal organs to churn simultaneously.

Spiderweb-like cracks instantly appeared on the surface of the armor!

Before he could catch his breath, the water armor soldier's second punch had already landed.

boom!

The loess armor collapsed on the spot.

The wooden plaque hovering above the alchemist's head let out a mournful cry of unbearable strain, and a clear crack appeared on its surface.

"Master, save me!"

The alchemist screamed in terror.

The water armor soldier had already trampled through the mud and water, and his third punch came crashing down!

The punch was no longer aimed at the armor, but instead struck the right arm, which was no longer protected by the clod of earth.

Click!

A sickening cracking sound of bone breaking suddenly rang out.

The alchemist's right arm bent backward at an odd angle, and he was lifted off the ground by the force of the punch, smashing through two broken walls before finally falling into the water in the distance with a splash.

Blood quickly stained the muddy water beneath him.

The wooden sign above his head lost its magical support and fell to the ground with a thud.

As this person left the formation, a gap suddenly appeared in the originally closed Five Yin Killing Formation.

The five-colored evil patterns on the ground flickered, and the pressure of the evil spirits surrounding the altar also decreased sharply.

"Oh no, the formation is about to break!"

The incense master's face was gloomy. He quickly sealed Qiu Shengwencai's acupoints with evil power, and then suddenly raised the soul lamp in his hand, injecting evil power into the lampshade.

The pale yellow flames in the soul lamp suddenly surged and then quickly flew to the gap.

A dense, malevolent aura surged forth along the patterns of the killing array, forcefully stabilizing the collapsing formation.

Just as the killing formation stabilized, behind the altar,

Lin Xuan slowly opened his tightly closed eyes, and a flash of brilliant golden light passed through them.

With the tongue spirit returning to its proper place and the Golden Light Mantra advancing to the next level, the Taoist's late-stage aura has become completely stable!

Lin Xuan glanced around, his gaze sweeping over Wang Meng and the others.

Feeling the layers of filth and evil energy pressing down from outside the altar, his eyes remained calm without the slightest ripple.

"A mere evil formation dares to suppress my Water Palace troops?!"

Lin Xuan's voice wasn't loud, but with the blessing of the tongue-spirit technique, every word sounded like a resounding bell, seemingly capable of shaking people's hearts!

"ridiculous!!"

As the last two words fell, a powerful, resonant Daoist voice swept across the surroundings!

hum!

Several evil artifacts within the Five Yin Killing Formation trembled simultaneously.

Wang Meng and the others felt as if they had been struck by a heavy hammer, and the originally interconnected internal organs suddenly became slightly disordered.

"How is this possible?! He didn't even chant any incantations, he just said a few words, yet it could affect me?! What kind of magic is this?!"

Wang Meng's pupils suddenly contracted, and a look of horror appeared on his face.

Although his soul defense was weakened due to the damage to the clay figure and the backlash from the formation, he should not be affected by a few words.

The others were equally shocked. This person had such power with just a few words. If he were to chant a spell, who could withstand that?!

Before they could figure it out, Lin Xuan had already raised his hand and grasped the Three Pure Ones' Dharma Bell.
