Empress, please lay down your armor, for I will save the world with a single sword!

The fighting outside the compound was also becoming increasingly intense...

Zhou Dayong led fifty new soldiers who, relying on shields and spears, barely managed to block half a street.

The results of this month's training are now becoming apparent.

When the soldiers in the front row fell to the ground after being shot by arrows, the soldiers in the back row immediately filled the gaps.

If someone drops their weapon, their companion immediately takes their place.

They did not possess advanced martial arts skills.

It's even less likely that he could single-handedly hold off those first- or second-rank masters.

Fifty men gathered together, shields linked together, spears raised side by side, forming a spear formation with spearheads constantly protruding outwards.

A second-rank expert swung his sword, cleaving two spears in two, then leaped onto the shield, intending to charge directly into the formation.

Zhou Dayong leaped up from the back row, gripped the knife with both hands, and slashed down!

The expert parried with his sword.

The two long swords clashed together.

Zhou Dayong's arms trembled violently, and blood flowed freely from his tiger's mouth.

He gritted his teeth and refused to back down, roaring, "Stab!"

Four spears thrust out simultaneously from different directions.

The third-rank expert twisted his body in mid-air, avoiding three of them.

The last spear pierced through his thigh!

"kill!"

More than a dozen new soldiers shouted in unison.

More spears followed, thrusting forth.

The third-rank expert was caught in the army formation, and it was too late for him to escape.

His chest, abdomen, and shoulders were pierced by spears one after another.

The body was suspended in mid-air.

Zhou Dayong seized the opportunity and chopped off his head with a single blow.

Morale is greatly boosted!

"Hold on!"

"Reinforcements are coming soon!"

The White Lotus Sect was also aroused to violence.

A Vajra Realm expert leaped off the roof.

His protective aura deflected two incoming arrows, and he struck the army formation with a palm strike while still in mid-air.

"Raise your shields!"

Zhou Dayong shouted hoarsely.

A dozen or so shields in the front row were raised simultaneously.

A powerful force descended from the sky.

boom!

Several shields shattered on the spot.

Soldiers in the rear coughed up blood and fell to the ground in large numbers.

The Vajra Realm expert fell into the formation and sent two people flying with a wave of his hand.

The spear pierced his protective aura, leaving only tiny ripples.

The gap between ordinary soldiers and experts at the Vajra Realm is simply too great!

"The Unborn Mother, the Vast Homeland!"

"Maitreya descends to earth, the white lotus is reborn!"

The Vajra Realm expert laughed loudly and blasted another new soldier away with a palm strike.

Dozens of other followers also joined in the chanting.

"The Eternal Mother!"

"A Vacuum Hometown!"

The slogans echoed through the broken courtyard walls and reached Wu Liang's ears.

Wu Liang had just blocked Qiu Baichuan's punch when he heard these words, and his heart suddenly stirred.

The Unborn Mother?

Maitreya descending to earth?

White lotus?

White Lotus Sect!

He had seen intelligence related to the White Lotus Sect in the Xuanyiwei (Black-Clad Guard) office.

This religion has been passed down among the people for over a hundred years, with numerous branches and complex doctrines, and has incited the people to rebel on several occasions.

The leaders of the White Lotus Sect throughout history have all claimed to be the Maitreya Patriarch, asserting that they are the incarnation of the Eternal Mother on earth, having lived for thousands of years, and capable of leading believers to their true homeland of emptiness, freeing them from the sea of ​​suffering in this world.

The imperial court mobilized large armies to suppress the rebellion on several occasions.

Each time they could kill a large number of White Lotus cult members and destroy the headquarters, but they could never completely eradicate it.

In ten or twenty years, the White Lotus Sect will rise again in other places.

Wu Liang looked across at the other side.

That's it!

White Lotus Sect Leader.

Maitreya Patriarch!

No wonder they were able to mobilize so many experts!

No wonder Lingzhao Temple had a dungeon built to imprison so many women!

These charlatans, under the guise of saving all living beings, have secretly committed countless shady deeds!

"The White Lotus Sect!"

Wu Liang deflected Sang Jiushu's soft sword with his own, and sneered, "I thought it was some powerful force, but it turns out to be just a bunch of charlatans pretending to be gods!"

Maitreya's gaze darkened slightly.

"Since Your Highness has heard of our religion, you should know how many believers we have."

"The imperial court has been trying to eradicate it for over a hundred years, but our sect still exists."

"If you are willing to submit today, I can bestow upon you the position of Dharma King Protector, with you and I jointly ruling the White Lotus Sect, second only to me! What do you say?"

Wu Liang was amused.

"Want me to join you, to pretend to be a god and deceive those poor people who can't even afford to eat?"

"Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror?"

"Are you worthy?"

The murderous intent in Maitreya's eyes intensified.

"Stubborn to the end!"

"Once I've captured you, I'll find a way to make you talk!"

Mo Wanwan stood in the corner of the courtyard.

She did not participate in the battle.

The backlash from the death of the love potion was extremely severe, damaging the meridians and internal organs. At this moment, simply standing up caused waves of tearing pain in the chest.

Wen Xingzhou stood half a step in front of her, his attention mostly focused on the surrounding battlefield.

Anyone who approached Mo Wanwan was immediately forced back.

Mo Wanwan originally thought that the battle would end soon.

Three experts at the Finger Profound level joined forces.

There are also dozens of elite members of the sect.

Wu Liang was still recovering from serious injuries, and none of his subordinates were by his side.

In this situation, it would be a miracle if Wu Liang could withstand even a few moves.

The result was completely unexpected!

Wu Liang not only withstood the combined attack of three Finger Xuan masters, but was also able to launch continuous counterattacks.

Qiu Baichuan's fist failed to knock him down.

Sang Jiushu's sword could only leave a few shallow wounds on his body.

The leader's White Lotus Palm technique, which was difficult to discern as real or feint, was dodged by Wu Liang several times in a row!

How is that possible?

When Wu Liang escaped last night, his internal organs were clearly injured, and he was also poisoned by a love potion.

Why did he recover so quickly in just one night?

The more Mo Wanwan looked, the more something seemed off.

The power, speed, and true energy that Wu Liang is displaying now far surpass those of last night!

A suspicion she didn't want to believe gradually surfaced in her mind.

Love potion!

Could it be that love potion?

impossible!

The love potion does indeed release a large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth after it dies.

But Wu Liang was seriously injured at the time, so how much spiritual power could he absorb?

It was already quite remarkable that the spiritual energy could help him repair his meridians and stabilize his internal organs.

How could his strength have increased so much?

Mo Wanwan stared intently at the battlefield.

While she was still searching for other possibilities, Wu Liang had already raised his hands.

The old osmanthus tree in the courtyard, which would take two people to encircle, began to shake violently.

The tree canopy trembled.

Fallen leaves fluttered down.

A muffled rumble came from the ground.

Thick tree roots burst forth from the soil one after another, bringing with them large chunks of soil and gravel.

Boom!

The entire old osmanthus tree was uprooted by an invisible force!

Wu Liang stood in mid-air and pushed forward with both hands.

The tree canopy, several meters high, tore through the night, sweeping towards Qiu Baichuan and Sang Jiushu with a cloud of mud and pebbles!

"The power of heaven and earth!"

Sang Jiushu exclaimed in surprise.

Qiu Baichuan's pupils suddenly contracted.

A slight ripple appeared on the white lotus beneath Maitreya's feet.

"Pointing to the Mystery!"

"You actually broke through to the Finger Profound Realm?!?"

A thunderclap seemed to resound in Mo Wanwan's mind.

That last shred of hope was completely shattered.

Wu Liang has really made a breakthrough!

Overnight!

Mo Wanwan immediately understood the reason.

That was a love potion she had nurtured for ten whole years!

ten years!

To nurture this Gu, she didn't know how many precious medicinal herbs and rare treasures of heaven and earth she had used, and she even personally fed it with her own blood!

Now, the love potion is dead.

He suffered a backlash and was seriously injured.

Wu Liang, however, recovered from his injuries and, with the help of the Love Gu, stepped into the Finger Profound Realm!

On what grounds?

Why?!

So annoying!

I'm so angry!!
