The True Lord has arrived

Chapter 128 Immortal Riding a Dragon!

Li Longji prepared the ritual for Zhou Yan's Fengshan ceremony.

The conditions here are rudimentary, practically nonexistent.

We can only make some simple preparations. From all aspects, it is of course impossible to do as we did on Mount Tai that day, but it doesn't matter. The sage of the Tang Dynasty is here, and the Taoist fruit of the Duke of Taishan is here. Everything else is just fleeting clouds.

Zhou Yan cut his own palm. Gao Lishi bowed and held a hollowed-out wooden bowl to collect Zhou Yan's blood. Zhou Yan asked, "What's next?" Li Longji replied, "What happens next is my business."

"This will take some time."

"If you're worried about them, you can go and help them, as long as you don't die."

After a pause, Li Longji smiled and said, "Of course, it doesn't matter if I die."

Only when the soul becomes a mountain god can it be considered orthodox.

It's really strange that this kid is acting like this now.

Taishan Gong, who walks in the world in a human body?
The taste might be even better if it's dead.

Despite the perilous situation, the elderly Li Sanlang reverted to his youthful nature, still daring and having the audacity to joke around. Zhou Yan had no interest in him. He raised the Earth Soul and Heaven Collapsed swords, Li Zhenyue raised his shield, and Pei Xuan Niao exhaled and gripped his sword with both hands.

The three of them followed the army corps.

The legion has hundreds of Xuan Officials, who form the backbone of the legion's legal system. However, in this situation, each additional Xuan Official increases the chances of victory. In fact, the three Xuan Officials who rushed out here are stronger than ordinary Xuan Officials.

Zhou Yan goes without saying, and Li Zhenyue was a young general valued by Guo Ziyi.

He possessed exceptional martial arts skills and his Xuan Guan techniques were highly proficient.

Pei Xuanniao was also a member of a prominent family.

His training in both academics and martial arts surpassed that of ordinary people.

The three rushed towards the Reclining Buddha Temple. Li Zhenyue Xuan Guan [Zhang Lei] led the way with his heavy shield, Zhou Yan held a knife on the left, and Pei Xuan Niao chose a long spear for foot combat. Zhou Yan used his divine will to control the magic sword, which hovered around them.

After Shen Cangming and the others tore apart the outer layer of the blood egg, some insect demons that had not yet completed their metamorphosis emerged from the exploding blood mass. These insect demons were torn apart by the elite trio of men, smashed with shields, finished off with spears, and unleashed a raging fire slash.

Even within the legion, it is rare to find a decapitation squad consisting of three captains and high-ranking officers.

Stepping into Wat Pho again!
It was already a sea of ​​blood. The Buddhist temples looked like organs, and countless blood worms gathered together, forming something like a giant blood pupa, connected from top to bottom, like a beating heart, connected to the earth's veins and the sky.

The troops that had torn apart the outer perimeter scattered, transforming into small groups of cavalry that carried out precise sabotage.

Under the raging flames, one by one the blood cocoons were broken and removed!
Zhou Yan's discerning eye clearly saw that the blood-red light emanating from the giant egg gradually decreased, and the elite troops of the Tang Dynasty were forming an army. Even this monstrous land, which had been planned for a long time, began to be rapidly dismantled.

But is it too late?
Li Zhenyue charged forward with his shield, his aura transforming into a shield that forcefully pushed back all the dozen or so insect demons in front of him. Pei Xuanniao, wielding a spear in both hands, frantically thrust forward from behind the shield. Suddenly, the heavy shield faltered as it was blocked by a monk whose arms were twisted like knives.

Pei Xuan Niao cursed angrily: "Bald monk, get out of here!"

The spear pierced his eye.

He shifted his stance quickly, gripping the butt of the spear with both hands, and knelt on one knee, saying, "Zhou Yan!"

Zhou Yan has already made his move.

He stepped directly on the middle of the spear shaft in Pei Xuanniao's hand, and Pei Xuanniao unleashed his power, lifting Zhou Yan into the air with a sudden jolt, soaring over the shield and the group of demons in front of him. He then gripped his sword with both hands and slashed down fiercely.

Firelight erupted from the earth and sky, cleaving through the blood cocoons here.

Blood splattered, and a twisted insect demon emerged from within, only to be pierced to death by Pei Xuanniao's spear. The node here was then destroyed. Zhou Yan exhaled, looked up, and saw blood light soaring into the sky, and the military aura transformed into beacon fires that also ignited.

The space was narrow, preventing the cavalry from charging with full force.

And, most importantly.

mana.

Even if the military lineage forms an array, greatly enhancing the ability to absorb earth energy, it is only an enhancement, not an elimination of mana consumption. In addition, there is also physical exhaustion and mental fatigue.

It seems that they are going all out and their momentum is unstoppable. But once the human cavalry suffers losses and casualties, this momentum will quickly decline. Zhou Yan and the other two rushed forward, trying to eliminate as many of these obstacles as possible.

Suddenly, they realized something was wrong. Among the demons, there were now some that could fly, hovering in the air like killer bees. Before Pei Xuan Niao could react, Zhou Yan raised his heavy sword, and Li Zhen Yue charged forward with his heavy shield.

The shield pressed heavily against the ground, and the earth's energy spread, transforming into a heavy shield.

Zhou Yan and Pei Xuan Niao were blocked.

The continuous sounds of collisions filled the air as the stingers at the tails of these transformed insect demons shot out like heavy crossbows. Zhou Yan and Pei Xuan Niao immediately realized that this was a variant evolved by the Blood Egg to counter the cavalry legion.

Pei Xuanniao's face was grim. He saw Pei Xuanbao, who had died here, had also turned into an insect demon. His appearance was distorted as he stood there, shouting and laughing, urging the insect demons to attack Zhou Yan and the others, and to seek revenge.

Pei Xuan Niao was furious and almost instinctively tried to rush out, but was caught by Zhou Yan:

"what are you up to?"

Pei Xuan Niao said, "It's too ugly!"

"To actually accept the parasitism of the insect demon and live a life of ignominy, the Pei family has no such people."

"I went and finished him off."

Just as they were arguing, a whooshing sound came from the sky. Wolf-tooth arrows shot from behind, blasting all the monsters to pieces. Li Zhenyue was slightly taken aback. Then, another legion arrived at the critical moment.

The monk Kongkong's voice came from afar, saying, "My lord, my lord?!"

"Zhou Yan, Shen Cangming!"

"I've found reinforcements!"

Zhou Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Behind him, a general with white hair and a scholarly yet fierce air bowed to Li Longji: "Your subject Gao Shi, I am late in escorting Your Majesty, please forgive me."

Li Longji was writing the imperial edict for the Fengshan ceremony when he said, "No need for further words."

"How many men do you have?"

Gao Shi replied, "I rushed here as the vanguard set off. There are only a thousand or so cavalrymen here, all of whom are skilled in archery."

Li Longji said, "Good!" "Go and provide support immediately!"

Gao Shi nodded, personally mounted his spirited horse, and led his archer cavalry into the Reclining Buddha Temple. With the support of arrows from the rear, the blood-red blood cocoon nodes inside the Reclining Buddha Temple were removed one by one. Zhou Yan watched as the light in the giant blood egg quickly disappeared.

It doesn't look as scary as before; it doesn't have that terrifying feeling anymore.

Zhou Yan thought to himself.

So, did the enemy's plan, and the schemes of the Weaver Girl and others, fail? Or...?

He gripped his knife, and Li Zhenyue held his shield; neither of them let their guard down.

When these crimson nodes were almost completely destroyed, the creature that was gestating the insect eggs, or rather, the demon that was controlling everything, finally realized that the situation was hopeless and that the blood eggs could no longer develop to their theoretical limit.

Then, all the crimson nodes lit up at the same time, and together with the blood egg, they began to flash with light at the same frequency, like the resonance of a military lineage. Finally, the remaining dozen or so nodes transformed into crimson streams of light that shot into the sky.

The sound of shattering was clearly audible. Gao Shi, who was holding a bow, Shen Cangming, who was wielding a sword, and Li Longji, who was performing the sacrificial ceremony, all saw it. The huge blood egg contained flowing light, and cracks spread from it, causing the blood egg to unfold in all directions.

The imagery possesses a strange and eerie beauty.

Like a blood-red lotus unfolding.

Inside, a statue of an Arhat sits cross-legged.

The Arhat opened his eyes and slowly rose to his feet, standing thirty feet tall. The entire temple trembled and shattered. From a distance, it looked as if the reclining Buddha temple had stood up. The simple movement itself stirred up a huge gale.

A fierce storm raged, as if mountains were rising.

The power of the blood egg coalesced and transformed into eight arms.

Amidst the rumbling sounds, cracks appeared inside the Reclining Buddha Temple, and everyone almost fell into the cracks as if they were falling from a mountain. Zhou Yan turned around, gripped the Earth Soul Heaven-Shattering Sword with both hands, and fiercely stabbed it into the earth's veins.

Holding the knife in both hands, he poured in all the restorative magic brought by the God of Agriculture's ears of grain.

"Give it to me, grow it!!!"

Light streamed from the blade of the Earth-Soul-Heaven-Overturning Sword.

It is as if it has taken root, connecting with the earth's veins.

The Earth Spirit and Heavenly Inclination, once a mountain thousands of years old, possessed a deep affinity with the earth's veins. Zhou Yan inserted this mountain into the ground, forcefully stabilizing the Earth Spirit and Heavenly Inclination's veins, preventing the mountain from collapsing and the Wofo Temple and all its inhabitants from perishing.

"Retreat quickly!"

Zhou Yan gasped for breath, raised his head, and looked at the 'premature baby' that had finally been born, a huge eight-armed Arhat. Then he saw Shen Cangming and Gao Shi leaping up, their warhorses galloping on the huge, graceful arms of the Arhat.

The Mo Dao in Shen Cangming's hand stirred up a storm of frost, tearing at the colossus.

The baleful aura of the military formation transformed into chains, binding the eight-armed Arhat and preventing him from leaving. The general himself was tasked with killing him; this was almost a scene from ancient times, when the human race was fighting against a great evil. However, the enormous eight-armed Arhat's arms trembled, four arms attacking Shen Cangming and four attacking Gao Shi.

The two were forced to fall from above. Fortunately, their mounts were extraordinary and their own skills were superb, which saved them from being killed by the fall. However, as a result, the ground beneath their feet roared and trembled again, almost collapsing completely.

From Li Longji's perspective, the entire area where the Reclining Buddha Temple was located had separated from the mountain range and become an isolated peak. Huge cracks were spreading from top to bottom, almost causing the entire Reclining Buddha Temple to fall off the cliff.

For some reason, new mountains grew inside, which stabilized the area.

The enormous eight-armed Arhat repelled the army's first wave of attack. With two arms in front and hands clasped together, and the remaining six arms behind, he appeared serene and at ease. Above the Arhat's head, the hooded man said, "You have actually destroyed the Buddha's birth."

"You, you who worship Buddha, have actually fallen to the state of Arhat! Do you know what kind of vessel this is, that it has been destroyed so easily? Since that's the case, I will make you all perish with it!!!"

"Kill them for me!"

"Bury the Reclining Buddha Temple into the Earth's core!"

Shen Cangming and Gao Shi successfully disrupted the ritual that was supposed to give birth to a great demon and Buddha, reducing it to the premature birth of an Arhat. They immediately recognized the danger in the area and had no choice but to lead their troops to distance themselves from the colossal object.

Before the Reclining Buddha Temple collapsed, the cavalry withdrew en masse. Li Zhenyue said, "We must leave too. Fighting such a large monster in this place is not a wise choice..."

He saw Pei Xuan Niao discard his spear, pick up his waist knife, and charge into the midst of the demons.

Pei Xuanniao launched a direct attack on Pei Xuanbao.

"It's too ugly, cousin!"

Pei Xuanbao fought desperately, even ignoring the insect demon attacking him from behind. Pei Xuanniao wielded his knife and slashed at the demonized and parasitic Pei Xuanbao. With a loud whistling sound from his wings, Pei Xuanniao twisted his body and slashed back, intending to perish together with his opponent, but was kicked in the lower back by Zhou Yan.

"Li Zhenyue, take this blockhead and leave!"

Pei Xuan Niao was caught by Li Zhen Yue.

Zhou Yan fell into a crevice on one side. He was able to fly on the wind, but suddenly sensed something and stopped his movement. He fell down the cliff, his Taoist robe billowing out.

Pei Xuan Niao's expression changed drastically, and he rushed over in a few steps: "Zhou—"

boom! ! !
Thunder roared, water surged, and the eight-armed Arhat displayed a pure form that combined demonic and Buddhist qualities. Rocks collapsed, and the people were in a panic. Shen Cangming saw Zhou Yan fall off the cliff and rushed over.

The young Taoist priest's sleeves fluttered, and a gust of wind rose around him.

I don't know when it happened, but there are more and more clouds...

Pei Xuan Niao rushed to the edge of the cliff. A fierce wind raged before him, and the swirling clouds resembled a raging dragon. Pei Xuan Niao sat back and saw the dissipating clouds, like a sea, with flowing scales beneath them. It had claws on its belly and horns on its head. This was…

Dragon Lord.

Pei Xuan Niao's pupils suddenly contracted.

The roar of a dragon echoed throughout the great rivers!
The dragon rose up, spiraling through the clouds. Its hundred-foot-long body was covered in scales. The falling young Taoist grabbed the dragon's horn with one hand. As he flipped himself up, the dragon spiraled, its head parallel to the ground, and the young Taoist stepped onto its head.

His sleeves rolled up, filling his heart with wind and clouds.

From afar, the people witnessed this scene: the manifestation of the blood egg, the eight-armed Arhat attempting to ascend to heaven, the rising water vapor and gathering wind and clouds, and the young Taoist priest rising like a dragon, all of whom were completely captivated.

Taishan Gong?
Lord Taishan!!!
The Water God receives the cloud's breath.

An immortal arrives riding a dragon!
His murderous aura was directed straight at demons.
