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

jingle--

The clear, melodious sound of bells echoed throughout the altar.

Lin Xuan's tongue thundered like spring thunder, and he chanted the Golden Light Divine Mantra.

"The profound origin of heaven and earth, the root of all vital energy."

"Through countless eons of cultivation, I will attain my divine powers!"

With each incantation, the golden light behind him would brighten a little more.

Golden light spread out from the altar, like the rising sun piercing through the dark clouds. Wherever it passed, the five-colored evil patterns on the ground emitted black smoke.

The bells of the Three Pure Ones rang continuously.

Lin Xuan made a hand seal with his left hand, his gaze sweeping over the five positions in the formation.

"Crab General, slay the clay figure!"

"Shrimp soldiers, annihilate their spirits!"

"Water-armored soldiers, dismantle your positions!"

The five Water Palace soldiers raised their heads simultaneously, and the Water Palace edicts on their chests suddenly shone brightly.

Crab General picked up the golden axe with both hands, took a big step forward with a bang, and splashed mud and water everywhere!

This time, before Huangya Clay Figure could even make a move, Crab General had already swung his great axe!

The axe blade tore through the rain, bringing with it a fan-shaped golden light, and cleaved straight down towards the top of the yellow bud clay figure.

The yellow clay figure sensed the threat and raised its only remaining arm to defend itself.

At the same time, Wang Meng frantically activated his magic, pouring the earth-evil power of the entire killing formation into the clay figure's body.

The single arm of the Huangya clay figure rapidly expanded, and a large amount of mud gathered into a giant fist.

But the moment the golden axe fell, the mud fist split open from the middle like a block of tofu!

puff!

The axe blade moved downwards.

The two halves of mud fell into the sewage and were instantly sizzled by the golden light.

The mud and water on the Huangya clay figure are flowing, and the incomplete body is made whole!

call--

The enormous fist slammed down on the crab general's head again, while the crab general's axe flashed repeatedly, and large patches of mud appeared around him.

"Damn it, I'm going to fight you!"

Wang Meng growled, pouring his evil energy into the Huangya clay figure as if it were free.

However, at that moment, the golden-patterned Soul-Suppressing Vine from the Crab General's armor shot out, one wrapping around the wrist and two locking the waist and abdomen!

The golden-patterned Soul-Suppressing Vine continued to draw closer, pulling the mud figure toward the Crab General!

The crab general gripped the axe handle with both hands, bent his waist, and turned around.

The great axe slashed diagonally upwards with overwhelming force!

Swish!

A huge crack stretched from the waist and abdomen of the Huangya clay figure all the way to its left shoulder.

Golden light flowed into the clay figure through the crack, instantly making the entire figure translucent.

Deep within the mud, the true form of a clay figure, about the size of a palm, is clearly revealed.

A yellow talisman was pasted on the chest of the clay figure, and on the talisman, Wang Meng's birth date and time were written in blood.

"No!"

Wang Meng's eyes were bloodshot as he frantically changed hand seals.

"return!"

"Yellow buds return to their fate, clay statues protect you, come back!"

He called out repeatedly, but the clay figure was locked by the Golden-Patterned Soul-Suppressing Vine and could not break free at all.

The crab general exerted its strength once again.

Boom!

The tall Huangya clay sculpture completely collapsed.

Large clumps of sludge fell into the puddles, splashing up mud waves several feet high.

Just as the little clay figure hidden among them was about to escape using the evil earth element, the crab general's left hand was already clenched in mid-air.

The surrounding water and golden light quickly coalesced, transforming into a golden-blue chain.

The chains burst forth, precisely binding the mud figure and dragging it forcefully out of the mud.

The palm-sized clay figure struggled frantically, its face even displaying a terrified expression strikingly similar to Wang Meng's.

The crab separates its abdominal carapace to the sides.

The golden chains tightened suddenly, pulling the little clay figure directly into the armor.

Dark gold vines coiled around it layer by layer, and golden runes lit up, instantly sealing the yellow bud clay figure!

When his natal evil possession was taken away, Wang Meng felt as if struck by lightning.

His body jolted violently, and he threw his head back, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

His knees buckled, and he almost collapsed into the mud.

"impossible……"

"My Yellow Sprout Clay Figurine has been blessed by a killing formation..."

"How could we lose?!"

"You're just a late-stage Taoist priest..."

Wang Meng's face was deathly pale, and he kept muttering to himself.

The clay statue held most of his cultivation. Now that the clay statue has been sealed, although his realm has not immediately fallen, most of his cultivation has been lost.

At the same time, two other water-armored soldiers had already rushed into the formation.

A water-armored soldier crashed head-on into the eerie waves cast by the Soul-Capturing Bell.

The evil cultivator hurriedly shook the bell, and the rapid ringing sounded in the rain, with circles of gray-black ripples rushing straight to the soul of the water-armored soldier.

But the water-armored soldiers only paused slightly.

The golden-patterned Soul-Suppressing Vine hidden in the armor immediately lit up, and the soul-devouring evil power that had invaded the body was instantly absorbed and suppressed by the vine!

The water soldier raised his hand and threw a punch.

boom!

The Soul-Capturing Bell flew out in response.

The bell spun continuously in mid-air before crashing into a crumbling wall and embedding itself deeply in the brickwork.

Before the alchemist could retreat, the water armor soldier had already grabbed his wrist.

Use all five fingers to exert force!

Click!

The entire arm was twisted and deformed.

The moment the agonizing scream rang out, the water armor soldier had already kicked the opponent in the knee.

The alchemist's legs went weak, and he immediately knelt down in the mud.

Another water-armored soldier smashed through the yellowish-brown light curtain cast by the evil tower.

The small tower trembled continuously, releasing several ghostly spirits in succession.

But as soon as the vengeful spirit approached the water armor soldier, it was burned by the golden light protecting its body and flew backward with a scream.

The water-armored soldier completely ignored the entanglement of the vengeful spirits and punched the alchemist in the chest.

Click!

The sound of ribs cracking rang out one after another.

The alchemist arched his body and slid seven or eight zhang (approximately 33-40 meters) across the muddy water before finally stopping after crashing into two rotten wooden pillars.

His chest was deeply caved in, and blood mixed with pieces of internal organs kept gushing from his mouth; he was clearly only half alive.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining alchemist turned around and tried to escape from the formation.

But as soon as he took a step, the Golden-Patterned Soul-Suppressing Vine shot out from the Water Armor Soldier's arm armor, wrapped around his ankle, and dragged him to the ground.

The water soldier stomped down hard, breaking his leg bone!

At this point, all five alchemists were seriously injured.

Without the support of five positions, the Five Yin Killing Formation could no longer be maintained.

Click!

The five-colored evil patterns that had been intertwined on the ground broke at the same time, and the Five Yin Killing Array completely collapsed.

The malevolent energy that had been accumulating in the village was swept away by the golden light of the altar, and even the torrential rain seemed to brighten the scene.

Looking at the scene before him, the incense master felt his hands and feet turn ice cold.

it's over...

The Five Yin Killing Formation has been broken, and all five alchemists have lost their fighting ability. His greatest reliance... is gone...

How are we supposed to fight like this?!

The incense master swallowed hard, his body trembling slightly.

Lin Xuan alone is so troublesome.

What's more, there was a middle-aged Taoist priest standing next to the altar who never seriously made a move from beginning to end.

Thinking of how quickly Uncle Nine had traversed more than ten feet of rain in a single step, a chill involuntarily crept into his heart.

That kind of speed is something that ordinary mages can never achieve.

The incense master's gaze darted around quickly, finally settling on Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai not far away.

These two are, after all, the other party's apprentices. Using them as hostages might temporarily secure their survival.

Even if he takes the two of them away, how far can he run?

Several tens of feet?

Or is it a hundred feet?

There's no escape!!!

With his current level of skill, there's no way he could escape from under the other party's nose.

unless……

I can also break through to the Archmage level!

The incense master slowly turned his head and looked at the five alchemists lying in the mud, a hint of madness gradually emerging in his eyes.

The five alchemists each used five-colored life-giving pills to nourish the five internal organs, making them the most suitable furnaces for the Five Yin Killing Array.

As long as he extracts the essence of their five internal organs accumulated over many years and then uses the Soul Lamp to refine them, he might be able to forcibly cross that threshold!

As for the lives of these five people...

Within the Yellow Heaven Sect, the law of the jungle prevails.

If he could become the source of his promotion, then he could die a worthy death!

The incense master's five fingers surged with evil energy, sealing the acupoints all over Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai's bodies to prevent them from escaping. Then he casually threw the two into the muddy water next to him.

thump!

Qiu Sheng fell backward into the puddle, while Wen Cai fell in sideways.

Unfortunately, Wencai landed with his mouth open, and a mouthful of muddy water mixed with grass and leaves was immediately poured into his mouth.

"Ugh... ugh..."

Wencai's face was scrunched up in a frown.

He tried to spit out the muddy water, but his body was sealed by evil energy, and for a moment even his tongue was not under his control, so he could only let the sewage flow into his mouth.

At this moment, Wencai even felt like dying, and a voice kept echoing in his mind.

Damn it, why did I even open my mouth? Why? Why… ugh…

Qiu Sheng lay sprawled to the side, unable to move, yet still glanced sideways at Wen Cai.

That disdainful look seemed to say: What time is it? You still have the mind to drink water?

Ignoring the two fallen figures, the incense master held up the soul lamp with both hands, his ten fingers changing hand seals in succession, and he uttered a string of obscure and eerie incantations.

"Xiang... Zhang Fan!!! What do you want to do?!"

Wang Meng, who was lying on the ground, realized something was wrong and looked up in alarm.

The incense master did not answer; at that moment, the soul lamp had already floated in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, he bit his tongue and spat a mouthful of blood onto the lamp wick.

The ghastly green flame in the soul lamp flickered violently, and five thin, hair-like black lines flew out from the wick, piercing the chests of the five alchemists respectively.

The next moment, all five people let out a piercing scream.

"You can't do that!"

"We have rendered service to the church! I have shed blood for the elders, you cannot do this, I demand to see the elders!"

"Master, spare my life! I'm willing to be your servant!"

"You old bastard!! You'll die a horrible death!!!"

The incense master remained unmoved, and the incantations he made became faster and faster, almost turning into a phantom.

The five streams of vital energy, each a different color, were forcibly extracted by the black lines and continuously flowed into the Soul Lamp.

The bodies of the five alchemists shrank at a visible rate.

The flames of the soul lamp grew ever brighter.

The five colors of essence—green, red, yellow, white, and black—intertwined within the lamp, eventually transforming into a complex and immense evil force that flowed down the incense master's arm and into his internal organs.

The incense master's body trembled violently, and beneath his skin, five-colored veins writhed like living worms.

His aura surged wildly!

boom!

At one point, it was as if an invisible barrier had been forcibly shattered.

The evil aura emanating from the incense master suddenly spread, shaking away all the rainwater within a radius of several feet.

"Grand Master!"

The incense master was taken aback at first, then threw his head back and laughed.

"It's done!"

"I've succeeded, Daoist Master!!!"

He felt an unprecedented power within him, and his expression gradually became frenzied.

Although the force was extremely complex and he was experiencing excruciating pain in his internal organs, he could no longer care about any of that.

This is the realm of a Grand Master!

With every gesture, his magical power far surpassed that of before.

Although the aura that Uncle Nine had previously revealed was unfathomable, in the eyes of the Incense Master, it was at most the early stage of a Grand Mage.

Just now, I was only at the peak of the Dharma Master level, so naturally I was no match for my opponent.

But right now, everyone is only at the early stage of the Grand Mage level!

Who will live and who will die is still unknown!

The incense master slowly turned his head, his eyes filled with five-colored evil light, staring straight at Uncle Nine.

"I am now at the early stage of the Grand Master realm."

"I'm not afraid of you anymore!"

Uncle Nine stood beside the altar and simply uttered an "Oh" upon hearing this.

His gaze did not fall on the incense master, but passed over him to look at Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai, who had been thrown into the mud pit.

"so……"

His voice betrayed no emotion.

"Is this why you forced my apprentice to eat mud?!"

The incense master's expression froze.

What is that?

He didn't understand what Uncle Nine meant for a moment.

Uncle Nine took a step forward, and the rain that fell three feet in front of him was quietly pushed aside by an invisible force.

"If my own apprentice is disappointing, I will naturally discipline him."

"But when...?"

Uncle Nine's eyes suddenly turned cold.

"Who gave you the right to do this?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Uncle Nine stopped suppressing his aura.

boom!

A terrifying pressure, far exceeding the level of a Grand Mage, erupted from his body like a sleeping mountain suddenly awakening.

Mid-stage Earth Master!

The moment that aura rose, the entire Lingxi Village seemed to sink.

The talismans on the altar trembled in unison, and countless fine ripples spread across the surface of the water.

The madness and confidence on the leader's face froze instantly; he simply couldn't understand what level Uncle Nine had reached.

He felt that the other party's aura was as high as the sky and as heavy as a mountain!

His previously proud Grand Mage cultivation level seemed as insignificant as a candle flickering in the wind in the face of that oppressive aura.

"No……"

"That's impossible!"

"You're not a beginner-level Archmage!"

The incense master was filled with terror and wanted to retreat, but his legs seemed to be nailed to the ground, and he could not move an inch.

The five internal organs' essences that he forcibly swallowed were already in conflict with each other, but were only barely suppressed by the evil magic of the Soul Lamp.

Now, under the pressure of the geomancer, the five forces immediately lost control.

puff!

Suddenly, a bluish-green fleshy lump swelled up on the master's chest, followed by a series of red, yellow, white, and black evil lights emanating from his body.

"No...don't..."

The incense master muttered to himself, shaking his head repeatedly, his face filled with despair!

However, the pressure he was under was getting heavier and heavier!

The next second, his eyes bulged out, and black and red blood seeped from his seven orifices at the same time. His heart meridian could not withstand the dual impact of evil power and pressure and broke on the spot.

thump!

His body knelt upright in the mud and water.

Even after all life had vanished, an unbelievable look of terror remained frozen on his face.

He sacrificed five fellow disciples, burned his foundation, and forcibly stepped into the realm of Grand Mage, thinking that he finally had the qualifications to fight Uncle Nine head-on.

As a result, Uncle Nine didn't even make a move.

Simply by releasing his own aura, he suffered a backlash from the evil magic, his heart meridian collapsed, and he was scared to death on the spot.
