Sudden Change
A Chen before Li Qi started making his move.
In the fierce battle, blood was flowing everywhere almost instantly.
The Asura and the hungry ghosts clashed with the soldiers of Guangyang.
We must use every means possible to kill everyone we see, or we will be the ones who die.
These are the rules of this battlefield.
No one can retreat, no one can escape; retreating or escaping means death.
Chanzhi Zhi was panting heavily; the battle below had reached a fever pitch.
The soldiers charged forward in formation, their spears forming a line, while the officers led the charge, desperately trying to stop the advancing Asura and Hungry Ghosts.
Chanzhi Zhi's power was limited; the Six Paths Gate he opened could only allow a very small number of eighth and ninth-rank beings to appear. Most of the Asura and Hungry Ghosts were beings who did not reach the required rank.
Even so, if left unchecked, it could very well devour the entire Guangyang.
Because both Asura and Hungry Ghosts can rapidly improve themselves through fighting and eating.
But the White Rhinoceros Army held them off.
Even knowing that they were no match for the enemy, they did not retreat an inch.
With thousands of Technique Method flashing incessantly, the light of Law Treasure tore the ground apart, and arrows rained down, shattering the black protective barrier of the Asura and piercing through the blinding white explosions.
Round after round of Technique Method were fired simultaneously, crashing to the ground and smashing into the enemy army.
A high-pitched and resounding battle cry rang out, and all sorts of Cultivation Method and Divine Ability powers surged forth, scattering across the sky before swirling and falling to cover the earth.
A row of shield-wielding warriors stood at the front, their bodies clad in heavy armor and their shields incredibly thick. They formed a battle formation, shimmering with layers of Technique Method protection, and their Soldier's Qi enveloped them, weakening the effects of external damage.
An eighth-rank Asura stood at the forefront, unleashing a terrifying burst of energy. His imposing aura was so powerful that each strike could likely crush a hill.
But at this moment, despite unleashing hundreds of moves, he was unable to break through the already formed military formation.
All the attack power was evenly distributed to each person by the barrier, and also spread across their armor and heavy shields. Even an energy force strong enough to crush a small mountain could not harm the entire army formation.
While defending, mid-level officers quickly issued orders and led the charge head-on!
Orders were relayed down by messengers, and then lower-ranking officers commanded the soldiers to carry them out. Layer upon layer, orderly and disciplined, with orders strictly obeyed!
Elite legions are able to surround and kill strong opponents because of their Soldier's Qi and seamless teamwork.
There is only one way to enable these unranked soldiers to fight against the strong: iron discipline and fearless spirit!
The battle was not without casualties, but when it was their turn to die, no one backed down.
The Soldier's Qi on the White Rhinoceros Army grew even more intense; the Soldier's Qi, which was originally blue and white, was now stained with a layer of blood.
The Soldier's Qi arrayed themselves in the dawn formation, their killing intent blazing like a rainbow.
The Soldier's Qi reached the clouds, and the cliffs roared as they split open.
A fierce battle breaks out in the clear sky, and the sound of killing shakes the sky and the wind roars!
This battle of attrition has been going on for more than a Chen.
A raging fire burned in the air, and ashes and flames condensed into thick black smoke, choking people and causing them to cough.
But all that could be seen was a broken sword, a life-or-death struggle, souls bound together, ghosts and gods gathered, bones scattered among the sand and gravel, corpses piled up across the fields.
Rivers meander, mountains intertwine.
Dark and desolate, the wind is mournful and the sun is dim.
The reeds are broken and the grass is withered, as cold as a frosty morning.
Birds cannot fly down, and beasts are driven to extinction.
Corpses lay strewn along the road, blood filled the plains.
The general fell from his horse, and the soldiers died in battle.
Regardless of rank or social status, we are all just withered bones.
The casualties were heavy.
Even though the White Rhinoceros Army fought to the death, the number of Asura and Hungry Ghosts was simply too great, and there were endless reinforcements. In just one Chen, the White Rhinoceros Army had already lost more than half of its strength.
"Rat King! Are you still going to stop me?!" Chanzhi Zhi unleashed his full power, and an immense pressure descended. At this point, he no longer cared about birth, death, or restraint.
Every move is the ultimate, every move is a full-force attack.
The demon's body was engulfed in black flames, with flames erupting from every limb, like a strongman carrying a large torch against the wind, the flames blazing fiercely, seemingly intent on burning everything.
This is the karmic fire of a demon from hell.
However, none of these attacks landed on the ground.
A golden rat, about the size of Xiao Gou, is constantly fending off all of Chanzhi Zhi's attacks.
He had no intention of engaging Chanzhi in a direct confrontation; all he did was defend with all his might and stall for time as much as possible.
Continuously defend and dodge; if you can't block, then try to deflect it as much as possible.
Mice are masters at digging holes and hiding.
Moreover, the Rat Soil Tomb possesses a unique Divine Ability.
It is also recorded in the original text of the legend, and both Shen Shuibi and Li Qi mentioned it.
'Rats gnaw through everything that's tied to their belts, including horsehide, clothing, bowstrings, and armor.'
That is, to devour Law Treasure!
Chanzhi Zhi could only fight with his physical body; his Three-Inch Demon Kingdom was also Law Treasure, and in fact, he had many other Law Treasure that he had not yet used.
However, they can't be produced now.
The Rat King of Rat Soil Tomb is not afraid of any Law Treasure that can be brought out. With his big front teeth, he can bite gold, gnaw wood, and chew soil.
Of the five elements, only water and fire are not restrained by him; the other three will be eaten like snacks. Since water and fire have no physical form, his front teeth are useless.
It was for this reason that Chanzhi Zhi inspired the karmic fire of the demon in hell, using the fire element to evade the Rat King's large front teeth.
However, the Rat King's golden fur is also a kind of Divine Ability.
Those golden retrievers stand upright like steel needles, are as obedient as armor, are impervious to water and fire, and are invulnerable to swords and spears. They can even burrow into the soil, which naturally separates without creating any obstruction.
Even the Chanzhi was helpless against such a tough nut to crack.
If it were a true life-or-death struggle, Chanzhi Zhi felt he could easily defeat the Rat King; only by bringing up the entire Rat Soil Tomb could he achieve a fair fight.
However, this mouse is slippery and quick to dodge, making it impossible to catch. It just drags you out without fighting, forcibly stalling for time.
This infuriated Chanzhi Zhi, but he was helpless.
As his anger intensified, demonic thoughts began to rise in his heart.
After fighting for a full Chen, Chanzhi Zhi finally lost control.
Enveloped by demonic energy, he is deceitful and tyrannical.
He immediately realized what was happening, stopped what he was doing, sat cross-legged, and used his Buddhist heart to suppress his demonic thoughts.
But then they saw the Chanzhi reciting scriptures:
"Dispel all afflictions and bonds! Even the slightest afflictions are immediately severed. Once they are eliminated, it is called returning to the mind and dwelling in an empty cave, also known as liberation from the bondage of demons!"
"When you recite the unequaled mantra, no ordinary demons will come, no demons of the two vehicles will come, no demons of the Bodhisattvas will come, and even no demons of the Buddhas will come!"
"It is still the Formless Realm, thus avoiding falling into the Two Vehicles and the Demonic Path!"
He was doing his best to suppress the demonic thoughts that arose from his anger!
However, just as he was trying his best to suppress it, he suddenly missed.
Yes, we came up empty-handed.
The demonic thoughts are gone.
Someone helped him suppress his demonic thoughts.
However, the scriptures have already been recited, and the Buddha's mind has already arisen.
The balance between Buddha and demon was lost in an instant.
Chanzhi Zhi felt a sharp, clear sound in his mind.
It's like putting all your strength into a punch and hitting cotton, only to twist your back instead.
His foundation... has developed cracks.
This even caused his Demonic Heart to shatter instantly, and his mind to lose control.
Chanzhi Zhi's Dao heart is divided into a Buddhist mind and Demonic Heart. Only by unifying the two and maintaining a balance can the Dao Path of the Black Heaven lineage be found.
He has always carefully maintained this balance.
Just now, his demonic thoughts were raging, so he raised his Buddhist thoughts to counteract them.
But the demonic thought mysteriously disappeared.
The Buddha's thoughts were no longer restrained.
Chanzhi Zhi always talks about things like "demonic thoughts going out of control," as if only demonic thoughts can go berserk.
Can't one recite Buddhist mantras?
Li Qi clearly understood this.
Therefore, he had everything planned out when he was making the arrangements.
The first step was to trick the Chanzhi into going to the location of the formation.
In the second phase, Zhang Lan and Shen Shuibi launched a sneak attack, after which they withdrew.
At this point, Chanzhi Zhi would inevitably have doubts.
In the third step, Wang Baiyan, who had been prepared on the periphery, would deliver Bo Yue's reply to Li Qi to the Guangyang Prefect, who had been tricked and escaped by Li Qi.
Guangyang Prefect only needed to glance at the scene once to know that there were two young masters present. This cowardly man would naturally know which one to choose, and he would definitely turn back without hesitation.
Because if he doesn't fight desperately at this moment, he will definitely lose his life.
The fourth step involves the cooperation between Bo Yue and the Rat King.
Regarding the Rat King of the Rat Soil Tomb, a young master's promise was useless, so Li Qi also brought in Bo Yue, giving him confidence that he would win and making him determined to hold off the Chanzhi.
With the Rat King, they could work with the White Rhinoceros Army to slow down Chanzhi, preventing him from focusing on either the enemy before him or the mountain and water formation of Bo Yue. This forced him to multitask, further intensifying his anger.
The fifth ring, following the previous four layers of ambush.
In the previous moves, Chanzhi Yilu realized Li Qi's problem.
When he gets here, he'll definitely be furious.
Although nothing came out, because everything was still under the control of Chanzhi Zhi, he was angry, but he could still hold back.
However, when Bo Yue performed the sacrifice, presided over the grand formation of mountains and rivers, and condensed the power of all gods, he truly possessed the strength to kill the Chanzhi.
At this point, anger turned into fear.
Because he might actually be dead.
Therefore, he would directly commit all his reserve forces, namely the seventh-rank puppet of Guangyang Prefect.
Chanzhi Zhi will definitely prevent Bo Yue from truly bringing the Mountain and Water Formation under his control.
Thus, he had to be divided in two ways, stopping Bo Yue on one hand and fighting against the constraints on the main battlefield on the other.
At this point, fear turned into anxiety.
Finally, Li Qi was convinced that Chanzhi Zhi would not be able to break through his arrangements in a short period of time.
He will only become more and more anxious.
Suspicion, anger, fear, and anxiety all coalesced in his heart, transforming into murderous intent.
The intricately designed setup forces Chanzhi Zhi to gradually uncover the weaknesses in his Dao Path.
Suspicion, anger, fear, anxiety, and murderous intent—the five poisons devour the heart, and demonic thoughts naturally arise!
As long as we seize the opportunity when the Chanzhi's demonic thoughts are swelling and he must suppress them with his Buddhist mind, we can use the Heavenly Demonic Dao Charm to suppress these demonic thoughts. In this way, his Buddhist mind will naturally become unbalanced.
Chanzhi Zhi was immediately caught off guard, and his Dao heart was broken!
However, this was not a serious injury for him.
Buddhist thoughts are different from demonic thoughts; Buddhist thoughts are easy to control.
However, no matter how easy it is to control, it still needs a few seconds to stabilize.
The Rat King will not give him that chance.
Bo Yue would never give him that chance.
Just as Chanzhi Zhi lost his composure, the Rat King suddenly attacked!
The Rat King's large front teeth were like a woodworking plane, quickly cutting and chewing up the body of the Chanzhi!
With teeth capable of crushing Law Treasure, the demon god's body had absolutely no chance of resisting.
At the same time, Bo Yue also seized the opportunity.
Chanzhi Zhi's brief moment of distraction allowed him to launch a counterattack immediately.
It only took two or three seconds.
The grand formation of mountains and rivers, activate!
A muffled thud could be heard throughout Guangyang!
Countless mountains and rivers erupted with magnificent power in an instant, forming near-perfect shapes on pre-planned guide lines. Countless energies rolled over them, and emerald light fell from above, as if the Milky Way were falling from the sky, connecting heaven and earth.
A magnificent array appeared here.
Just to keep this great array running normally, an immeasurable amount of energy is required.
Every second of its operation extracts countless amounts of the earth's ley line power.
Using it once will cause all the gods to become weak for a year, and the entire Guangyang Prefecture will experience feng shui imbalances for three years, resulting in reduced land yields or even crop failures. Countless animals will struggle to reproduce, and people will become listless.
This grand formation was constructed at the cost of extremely exploiting and destroying the earth's energy and the spirits of mountains and rivers; it is the ultimate weapon that the entire state has kept hidden.
Bo Yue manipulated the mountain and water formation, reducing its power.
Suddenly, a vast and clear sky appeared before my eyes.
Because... there was nothing around!
The mountains outside... were completely melted, and the resulting lava rivers rushed down the cliffs, forming a huge and spectacular fire waterfall. Lava was splashing everywhere, it was practically a boiling torrential rain...
The ground turned into a red sea that burned everything, with scorching lava flows sweeping around, a power that was enough to shake the earth... Even hundreds of miles away, one could feel the indescribable force descending.
The White Rhinoceros Army was protected by a strange force and was not affected.
As for Chanzhi Zhi, as well as the Asura and Hungry Ghosts, they remained where they were and faced this power directly.
The Rat King was horrified. His reaction speed was even faster. Almost the instant the mountain and water formation was activated, he immediately burrowed underground and curled up into a ball.
He was only grazed by the aftershock.
Even so, he was burned so badly that his skin was scalded, and a patch of black fur appeared on his golden coat, which made him cry out in pain.
But we still made a profit.
Because the Blood Sacrifice centered on the Mountain and Water Grand Array has begun.
Chanzhi Zhi, the Asura, the hungry ghosts, and the animals were all sacrifices for Blood Sacrifice.
And those who enjoy this sacrifice are all the demon rats of the Rat Soil Tomb.
Transform from demon to Spirit Transformation today!
The Rat King disregarded his blackened fur, delighted to feel the power of the Blood Sacrifice spreading through his body!
However, suddenly, the Rat King froze.
Because a large black hand fell from the sky and protected the soul of the Chanzhi.
Only the soul remains, because the physical body has been shattered.
The Blood Sacrifice was forcibly stopped and interrupted!
The grand formation of mountains and rivers shattered upon impact.
The gods wailed in despair, and tens of thousands of mountain and water deities were severely injured! Some of the weaker ones even died on the spot.
The entire earth veins of Guangyang are wailing!
As the host, Bo Yue coughed up blood, suffering a severe backlash from his own body and mind, and his whole being became weak.
He quickly took out a bottle of medicine and drank it, but as he drank, he was filled with horrified horror.
He looked around and saw that countless earth veins had been directly severed. It would probably take more than ten years for Guangyang to gradually recover, with all trees withered, rivers cut off, and crops failing.
To be able to forcibly shatter the mountain and water formation... this is a fifth-rank descending being!?
