He was born as a blacksmith, but he dominated the world

Chapter 447 Blood of This World
Someone responded: "Master Hong went to chase the remaining enemies."

"Chase the remaining enemies?" Ma Ningyan was shocked.

It is understandable that there are remaining enemies, but it is hard to understand why Jiang Lin went to chase them personally.

After all these years of fighting, this is the first time I’ve seen Jiang Lin do something like this.

A few days later, Jiang Lin came back.

"Grandpa Hong, have the remaining enemies caught up with us?" Ma Ningyan asked.

"Killed a few." Jiang Lin said: "I need some good materials to make new weapons."

Ma Ningyan nodded and said, "I will ask someone to prepare it right away, but I would like to ask Grandpa Hong to help us make some better magic weapons. This matter is extremely urgent!"

Jiang Lin saw the urgency in her eyes and asked, "Isn't the war over? Why are you so anxious?"

"There are too many external and internal troubles. I'm afraid I won't be able to cope with them without the protection of magical weapons." Ma Ningyan said.

Once you reach the Daowu realm, it is not so easy to improve your cultivation.

Although the elixir can still work, the Taoist's assistance to Daqian is now getting less and less.

Moreover, due to her inner fear of Taoism, Ma Ningyan now hopes to have more means of counterattack.

If something you don't want to see really happens, you can still do something about it.

Jiang Lin looked at her and said, "If you have enough materials, you can give it a try."

So far, the only magic weapon Jiang Lin has created is the magic bow for the ancestors of the Western Yi.

It has many flaws and cannot be considered a true magic weapon.

As for the Sun-Chasing Bow, it is a divine bow made by relying on the quality of the ancient purple gold wood and the ancient thunder eagle beast tendons, and is not on the list.

"Also, there is a group of people I must kill. Since I am forging a magic weapon, I don't have that much time to take care of them, so I need you to send someone to follow them." Jiang Lin said.

"Okay, I'll send someone right away." Ma Ningyan nodded.

In the chaos of the battle, the Lu clan members quietly left the battlefield. Jiang Lin chased them all the way, shooting arrows at them whenever he could, and killed several of them.

But the others are at the peak of the Divine Martial Realm or the Dao Martial Realm, so it is not easy to kill them.

Seeing that this group of people were running farther and farther away, Jiang Lin could only come back temporarily.

He only has a few Holy Soldier Arrows left in his hand, and once they are used up, he will be in danger.

Jiang Lin knew that he couldn't be hasty in dealing with the Lu family.

The initiative is in his hands. As long as he maintains the effect of [A Picturesque World], even if he cannot kill these people for the time being, he will eventually exhaust them to death.

Moreover, he really wanted to try to create a magic weapon in this world so that he would have experience after returning.

Although there is no Hengyu furnace here, his skills are still there, and there are countless materials. He is not afraid of anyone coming to mess up, and it is much more convenient than after he left.

The army rested for several months, and the vassal troops returned to their own territory.

While Ma Ningyan was busy ordering people to transport materials, she was also negotiating with these former enemies, hoping that they would voluntarily surrender to Daqian.

However, although those people suffered heavy losses, they were unwilling to surrender.

In the previous war, Daqian killed too many of them. The grudge between the two sides is not so easy to resolve.

"If Daqian wants our land, he will give us his life in exchange!"

Ma Ningyan did not feel admiration for this, but just looked down on it.

Why weren't you so tough when you were forced by the Western Barbarians to serve as vassal soldiers?

What they said was that they were doing it to protect their wife, children and the elderly, that’s all bullshit.

Without the courage to perish together with your enemies, how can you defend your country?
However, the border troops are very tired now and are not suitable to continue large-scale warfare, so as not to give others an opportunity to take advantage.

So after learning about these people's thoughts, Ma Ningyan asked the envoy to return, intending to wait until the border troops had rested before attacking.

Some civil servants came to report Jiang Lin, saying that he abused private punishment, killed his advisers, and acted tyrannically.

Before Ma Ningyan even listened to what he said, she had the person who made the complaint dragged out and beheaded.

These people really have no memory. They have killed so many people, but they still come here to make trouble for no reason.

Jiang Lin did kill civil servants and counselors, but even though Ma Ningyan didn't see it with her own eyes, she could roughly guess why.

These people must be clamoring in private about something like "violence should not be met with violence", "a lot of work needs to be done in Daqian, and the country's strength should be focused on recuperation and so on".

It's fine to say this kind of thing at ordinary times, but saying it on the battlefield is tantamount to helping the enemy.

Later it was learned that these civil servants not only said such things, but even planned to forcibly withdraw the logistical supplies to force her to retreat.

Ma Ningyan was furious and personally led people to the civil servants' camp and killed at least hundreds of people.

There's life-and-death fighting going on up front, and you want to withdraw the logistical supplies?
Such an idiot doesn't deserve to live!

"From now on, if anyone on the battlefield says the word 'retreat' again, their property will be confiscated and their entire family will be exterminated. There will be no mercy!"

Ma Ningyan even gathered everyone together, pointed to the sky and said in a deep voice: "You all saw it, the finger that can destroy the world."

"Just one finger is something we cannot resist!"

"Many people ask, since Daqian has already established itself as a nation, why does it continue to go on expeditions?"

"Now that you have seen such an existence, do you still think Daqian is strong enough?"

Everyone looked up at the sky, and they recalled the scene of that giant finger easily crushing the Seventh Ancestor of the Western Yi.

The most powerful arrow in the universe was crushed as casually as a person crushing an ant.

Just thinking about that scene is enough to make people shudder.

There are still many people who believe that although there is an irresistible existence above the sky, it is not necessarily the enemy of Daqian.

Many people also think that it is not certain whether they are enemies, but what if they are?
The civil servants were divided into two factions and quarreled endlessly.

The military officers were quite unanimous in their opinions. They joined the army just to fight.

Since there is such a powerful imaginary enemy right before our eyes, what else can we say?
Daqian is like a warrior. If he wants to challenge the most powerful warrior in the world in the future, he must practice martial arts in advance.

Instead of waiting until someone comes to your house and kicks down the door, then wonder why you didn’t become stronger sooner.

Even if the possibility is only one in ten thousand, you can't gamble.

Because in this kind of thing, there is no winner or loser, only genocide.

"This matter must not be spread outside. Life is already difficult for the people, there is no need to make them live in constant fear." Ma Ningyan ordered.

Everyone had a solemn look on their faces; they knew how much panic would be caused if this matter were to get out.

If it doesn't rain for three years, the lower-class people may completely lose order, kill each other and compete for resources.

If they knew that there was such a being who could destroy the world right above their heads, who could slap anyone to death at any time, I don't know what kind of chaos would happen.

"For future border troops, one thing is clear! Take our own territory as the border. Wherever we fight, that is the border of Daqian!"

"Before that finger crushes us to death, Daqian must do everything possible to become stronger!"

"Outsiders can't understand, so it doesn't matter if they curse us! One day, they will understand!"

Jiang Lin stood in the blacksmith shop, watching Ma Ningyan's passionate speech.

This will be the source of Daqian’s endless wars for the next few hundred years.

Ma Ningyan was right. There were indeed countless people who could not understand why Daqian had to keep fighting, even though it was already so powerful that it had no rivals around it.

But the pace of conquest has never stopped.

Only a very few people know why Daqian did this.

It doesn’t matter if people live a hard life, it is better than death.

Some may say that destruction may not happen in our generation.

But what if?
Jiang Lin looked up at the sky. The giant finger that appeared that day was like a sword hanging over everyone's head.

It sways all the time, and no one can be sure whether it will fall, or when or under what circumstances it will fall.

But as long as it exists, you must be prepared first.

"So, Emperor Shun is also making preparations?"

Jiang Lin thought back to everything that had happened before, and doubts filled his heart: "But what should he prepare to fight against the existence above the sky?"

"Guo Jiuxing, the leader of Xujian Dao, said that he wanted to overturn the world. Could it be that he wanted to kill the existence above the sky?"

Thinking of the methods used by that Taoist master from later generations, Jiang Lin didn't know what to say.

He condensed all his Taoist energy, drained away the luck of his clan, used mountains and rivers as a bow, and turned his body into an arrow, but was killed by a single finger.

How easy is it for Guo Jiuxing, the leader of Xujian Dao, to overturn such a world?
"This man is so bold that he even surpasses Emperor Shun. Emperor Shun just wants to wrestle with his opponent, but he wants to overturn the table."

Jiang Lin couldn't help but shake his head, unable to figure it out, so he turned to look at the thing in his hand.

They were several kinds of extremely high-grade materials, which had reached the level of lower-grade holy weapons simply by burning, hammering, and eliminating defects.

Such materials are rare in the world.

It was Ma Ningyan who sent a message to Kyoto and snatched it from the powerful clan.

In this era, the blockade of resources by powerful clans was not as strong as in later generations.

A lot of materials can be found, whether from the royal family or other forces.

"But why did the powerful clans monopolize resources hundreds of years later and block the secret recipe of precious weapons? Was it just to prevent the royal family from becoming too powerful?"

Jiang Lin always felt that things were not as simple as he thought.

This matter is most likely related to the preparations that Emperor Shun is going to make.

"So, the powerful clans are afraid that the royal family will create a weapon that can fight against the sky?"

"What kind of weapon can achieve this? It seems that even a Taoist weapon would find it difficult."

Jiang Lin took another material and hammered it down again and again.

I was still guessing in my mind, but I couldn't come up with the answer no matter what.

With my current skills, it is not surprising to be able to create a magic weapon. As long as there are enough materials, I can pile them up and make one.

But how many kinds of materials are needed to build Taoist soldiers?

Even if we take out all the survivors from the homes of all the powerful clans, we still don’t know if it will be enough.

As for what Emperor Shun wanted, it was probably even more outrageous.

Exhaling lightly, Jiang Lin put the weapon embryo in his hand into the furnace to heat it up.

Looking at the rising fire, he shook his head gently, shaking off the messy thoughts in his mind.

There are too many secrets in this world, and many of them are difficult to guess by imagination unless you experience them personally.

For now, we should take it one step at a time. First, we should create some magical weapons for Ma Ningyan, and then find a way to kill all the members of the Lu family.

I have been staying in this world for a long time.

……

The virtual supervisory path is in the rune world.

Bright red flesh and blood continued to break away from the black and white chessboard, condensing into clumps.

A pair of beautiful eyes looked at these bloody masses, and said in a clear voice: "Use the blood of this world to condense the body of the future and break the calamity of my sect."
