Chapter 321 Karma Slaughter
When the dragon boat exploded, the sneak attack on Lotus Creek Temple had already begun.
Although it is one of Ezhou Zen Four Great Forests, Lotus Creek Temple is a nunnery after all, so it is relatively secluded. Only the female relatives of Wu Prefecture City occasionally come here to burn incense.
Most of the people in the temple are monks and hermits.
This temple was built on Coiling Dragon Mountain. It often ignores the common affairs of the world. If it weren't for the safety of the three cities of Wuchang this time and there was a real shortage of manpower, all the masters would not be transferred.
Po Liu Han Ba Ling naturally has his reasons for hiding here.
Firstly, when it was first built, there was a hidden secret room left behind. Secondly, the most precious treasure in the temple, Black Jade Guanyin, was specially cast by his men to pray for him when he proclaimed himself the "True King".
To a certain extent, it can be regarded as his blessed place. Hiding here, Black Jade Guanyin will not alert anyone, so it is difficult to be discovered.
But he didn't expect that there would be East Lake Old Ancestor, a man of profound virtue, who could use Yuan Guang Technique to find him.
When the raid occurred, the nuns of Lotus Creek Temple were also holding rituals to celebrate the birthday of Nation Protecting Ming King Buddha.
There was no time to react, and many people were directly killed, while the rest hid in the temple to resist.
Only one of the passages in the secret room remained in the stream outside the temple. Po Liu Han Ba Ling had already broken out of the siege, but turned back and blocked the outside of the temple with a knife.
At this moment, only the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled are left in the temple. Some are seriously injured and lying on the ground wailing, while others are ashen-faced and silently reciting Buddhist scriptures.
There were hundreds of people from the Heavenly Saint Sect and Tusi City who came and surrounded the entire temple.
It's not that they are benevolent, but Po Liu Han Ba Ling holds the threat of Red Mohe in their hands. As long as they take one step closer, they will destroy this thing.
"Hand over things?"
Po Liu Han Ba Ling was covered in blood, but he didn't care. He just looked at Protector Wang coldly, "I've seen people like you too many times. If you hand over your things, they will also die."
"Hahaha..."
Tusi City Princess Qin Yuner gave a sweet smile, played with the strange insects on her hands, and sneered, "Po Liu Han Ba Ling, this name was so loud at first, I thought it was so amazing."
"Back then, you dared to rise up and claim kingship and hegemony, and you had countless lives on your hands. Why are you protecting these Han people now? Are you stupid for studying Buddhism?"
As he spoke, his eyes were full of charm, "You were also a hero back then. We don't care about Returning Yang One. If you are willing, I will marry you. If things work out in the future, you can also be a king."
Po Liu Han Ba Ling's eyes were calm, "I think you are the ones who don't know what to say. The cause today will have the result tomorrow. The hatred in this world is getting deeper and deeper."
"The purpose of Zhao Changsheng is to cause trouble to Divine Land and steal his luck. Have you ever thought about what fate Miao People will face in the future if this succeeds and destroys the three cities of Wuchang?"
"And you, Heavenly Saint Sect, said you would help thousands of refugees seek justice, but what did you do?"
"They are just people who are greedy for power..."
Qin Yuner's eyes were filled with impatience, "Isn't that what happens in this world? Did you have some good intentions in the first place?"
"Back then, little Wuchuan Town could make three Grand Ancestor Emperors and enjoy four hundred years of Divine Land luck. Why can't we?"
"Hahaha..."
Now it was Po Liu Han Ba Ling's turn to be happy, shaking his head and saying:
"You... are really not good at it."
When Qin Yuner heard this, his eyes were filled with anger and murderous intent.
"Forget it!"
Protector Wang looked into the distance with gloomy eyes, "He is talking nonsense to delay time, do it!"
Lotus Creek Temple is only eight miles east of Wu Prefecture City.
The timing they chose was clever, and the dragon boat incident attracted most of the attention, but the time was far from sufficient.
After giving the order, the Miao People and Heavenly Saint Sect cultists at the rear immediately raised their crossbows and released sharp arrows.
More than twenty of them carried muskets, but just like the unlucky Shi Chen, due to the rain and improper operation, the gunpowder was wet and they could not fire at all.
Because of this, Lotus Creek Temple was not captured in one fell swoop.
"Hmph!"
Po Liu Han Ba Ling snorted and stood up directly. Although he held the sword with one hand, his sword skills were at the peak of his skills. Even Hidden Strength didn't use it. He just swept left and right and deflected the flying arrows one by one.
The rain of arrows in front of me is nothing compared to the battlefield back then.
Everyone on the opposite side has already seen how powerful he is, and they don't expect their bows and crossbows to hurt him. They are just trying to interfere.
Fu Family Siblings was also in the formation, and he suddenly lowered his body, Hidden Strength exploded under his feet, and flew out from both sides. At the same time, Meteor Shuttle flew in his hands, piercing the rain curtain like a poisonous snake, and stabbed towards Po Liu Han Ba Ling.
At the same time, Granny A Lang and Qin Yuner both released their own Gu worms, one was a swarm of poisonous mosquitoes and the other was a winged centipede.
And Protector Wang, pick up Divine Firearm again.
Unlike the powerful imperial court, both Heavenly Saint Sect and Long Xiang Army grabbed New Style Firearm, but the "Coal Essence" and "Red Niter" equipped with New-Style Gunpowder were seriously insufficient.
Therefore, they are very economical to use.
Like when Protector Wang came out this time, even with his status, he couldn't carry much, only enough to fire thirty rounds.
Every time you shoot, be careful.
This Po Liu Han Ba Ling, even if there is only one arm left, if you want to take it down as soon as possible, you can only use Divine Firearm.
Sure enough, seeing the crowd attacking, Po Liu Han Ba Ling no longer concealed his strength, suddenly pinched Mystical Gestures, and a mouthful of blood spurted on the blade.
An explosive Gangsha Energy rose from his body.
"Firm Strength?"
When Fu Family Siblings saw it, his scalp immediately went numb and he quickly retreated.
However, it's already too late.
Po Liu Han Ba Ling suddenly exerted force, there was a thud under his feet, mud splashed everywhere, and the whole person disappeared.
Appearing again, the person has arrived next to Eldest Fu Brother. Blade Light flashed, and the energy visible to the naked eye cut through the rain curtain and passed by him.
Poof!
This Eldest Fu Brother was directly cut in two. His lower body was still running, but his upper body had fallen to the ground. He was screaming and struggling, and his blood and internal organs were scattered.
"Brother!"
Fu Sister screamed, but did not dare to step forward and screamed at Protector Wang, "Didn't you say that he is at most Transformed Strength? What's going on?"
Transformed Strength and Firm Strength are completely different.
Transformed Strength is just its own use of Martial Power, but Firm Strength can gather Gangsha Energy's transformation attack, which is as powerful as the same level of martial arts.
But it is not easy for most people to achieve Pellet Strength in their lifetime, let alone the next level Firm Strength. Without talent, it is difficult to enter this door.
Protector Wang said with a gloomy face, "After consuming Divine Soul for a temporary increase, your soul will be scattered after death, and it will be difficult to reincarnate. Why bother?"
Po Liu Han Ba Ling slashed his long knife across the sky, looked at the thunder surging in the sky, and then looked at the corpses on the ground. There was unconcealable exhaustion in his eyes, "I'm tired."
"Perhaps the poor monk should not have returned Yang from the beginning..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he flashed and disappeared instantly.
Protector Wang was furious and quickly backed away.
Qin Yuner next to him felt that something was wrong. He flicked his skirt and shot out dense Poison Needle, while quickly retreating.
Here, the difference can be seen.
Granny A Lang also wanted to retreat, but her energy and blood were exhausted and she couldn't use her fists and feet, so she could only use Gu Arts to control the savages beneath her.
But in such a short period of time, it was too late.
The long-haired savage below had just raised his big axe, and the figure of Po Liu Han Ba Ling appeared in the sky behind her. Without looking back, he slashed with the knife.
Poof!
Granny A Lang's head flew up instantly.
Po Liu Han Ba Ling was about to continue cutting off the savage's head, but when he saw Gu worms behind his head, he shook his head slightly, stopped his sword, and turned around in the air to step on it.
Bang!
The savage's huge body rolled out, hit the wall with his head, and fainted.
Po Liu Han Ba Ling, on the other hand, had already taken advantage of this force to fly out and fell directly into the formation of the Heavenly Saint Sect and Miao People.
Those who can come here are all masters of martial arts, but in front of Po Liu Han Ba Ling who is fighting to the death, they are no different from children.
In the crowd, Po Liu Han Ba Ling's figure shuttled quickly, with blood flowing from his body and falling into the knife along his arm.
Blade Light flashed, and the blood mist filled the air, turning into streaks of blood. Wherever it passed, broken limbs and broken arms flew around.
This situation made Protector Wang and Qin Yuner frightened.
Only then did they know, Ghost Sect Leader Zhao Changsheng, why they had to go through so much trouble to resurrect this person.
He was originally the ruthless person who caused the Six Garrisons storm, and later learned many secret techniques. If not for the fact that his strength had not been restored after returning to the Yang Dynasty, and he was seriously injured by a sneak attack, I am afraid they would not have even had a chance.
In desperation, Protector Wang didn't care about anything else. He suddenly lifted Divine Firearm while running and pulled the trigger.
Boom!
There was a loud noise, and fire and smoke flew everywhere.
Two shots had been fired just now, but Po Liu Han Ba Ling had already been prepared and escaped with his strong sense.
Therefore, Protector Wang changed to a special magazine, which contained not one lead shot, but many small iron pieces.
Po Liu Han Ba Ling still relied on his senses to avoid the gun, but this time he miscalculated. He felt a sharp pain all over his body and fell to the ground.
Half of his body was covered with cracks.
The Heavenly Saint Sect Disciple and Miao People next to them were not much better either. Their bodies were bursting with blood. Some fell to the ground and screamed. Some were unlucky enough to have iron pieces shot directly into their heads and hearts and died.
"Roar!"
Po Liu Han Ba Ling roared and stood up with a broken knife, his body covered in blood and mud, like a demon god.
The people around who were not affected were frightened by its momentum and retreated one after another. Even Protector Wang stopped breathing and took two steps back.
However, Po Liu Han Ba Ling exerted his energy again, but felt that all his strength dissipated like a tide. He looked down at his heart and saw that there was already a wound there, with blood flowing gurglingly.
"Hahaha, let's see if you're still alive!"
Protector Wang laughed wildly, but still did not dare to approach. Instead, he took out the scimitar from his waist and threw it out.
Bang!
Po Liu Han Ba Ling struggled to raise the knife to block it, but he stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
He gritted his teeth, suddenly pulled a ruby from his neck, put it on the ground, used his last strength, and chopped it off with a knife.
"No!"
Protector Wang exclaimed.
Ding!
There was only a crisp sound, the blade rolled back, and the Red Mohe was ejected and fell to the ground without any damage!
A trace of disappointment flashed in Po Liu Han Ba Ling's eyes, and then his expression gradually disappeared.
"Damn you!"
Protector Wang couldn't help but curse.
Only then did he realize that it wasn't that Po Liu Han Ba Ling didn't want to, but it was that he simply couldn't destroy this Tang Era national treasure, and he even pretended to lie to them for a long time.
Without any hesitation, he rushed forward, picked up Red Mohe, threw it out, and roared, "Quickly, send it away!"
Meishan Dharma Sect Three Brothers is also on the periphery.
In a battle of this level, they couldn't intervene at all and could only lead people to shoot arrows in a sneak attack.
The eldest of the three brothers caught Red Mohe, put it into a leather bag, then stretched out his hand and threw it high.
Phew~
There was a cry in the air, and the Night Owl they controlled flapped its wings, grabbed the skin bag, and flew away quickly.
At the same time, he screamed several times sharply.
The boss of Meishan Brothers said anxiously, "Protector Wang, the news has been leaked, Wu Prefecture City Garrison Vanguard Camp has arrived."
"Quick, let's go!"
Protector Wang gave the order and everyone retreated, not caring about the wounded on the ground.
At this moment, Po Liu Han Ba Ling was still holding a knife, squatting on the ground, motionless, and covered in blood.
"Don't worry about him, he's dead!"
Seeing someone about to go up, Protector Wang scolded him directly.
However, Qin Yuner didn't pay attention at all. With a sneer, he quickly approached, swung his scimitar in his hand, and chopped off Po Liu Han Ba Ling's head.
She held the head in her hands, stared into those calm eyes, and sneered, "Humph, I'll show you, you Six Garrisons can do it, and so can we Tusi City!"
After that, he quickly evacuated with everyone.
At the same time, in the Lotus Creek Temple main hall, several old nuns looked at the back with shocked faces. The Black Jade Guanyin statue actually clicked and cracks appeared...
"Lotus Creek Temple Something happened?"
Looking at the busy monks inside Yuquan Temple, Li Yan was a little surprised, "What are they attacking there for?"
His side is still farther away than Wu Prefecture City, and the news spreads slowly.
First, something went wrong with Dragon Boat Race. Lu San took action at the critical moment. With the help of Giant Turtle Master's power, he successfully completed the Feng Shui Bureau and got Prince of Wu Prefecture's promise...
Just when Li Yan was praising Lu San and the others for their intelligence, bad news came again. Lotus Creek Temple was besieged by monsters.
He had also heard about Lotus Creek Temple's situation, but it was just a nunnery, and he really couldn't figure out what was there to attract demons.
Yuquan Temple The protecting monk shook his head and said, "The poor monk doesn't know, but he just asked us to go to the rescue immediately."
"Would you like some help?"
"The Imperial Guard troops have already arrived, as well as many experts from our Buddhist sect. Master Li will just take care of this."
The monk was obviously a little anxious, so he left in a hurry.
Li Yan shook his head slightly and did not ask any more questions.
The Feng Shui situation has been completed, and both the imperial court and the Buddhist masters have been able to take action. It will be of no use if he leaves.
Besides, people are inseparable here.
Thinking of this, Li Yan looked to the opposite side and saw that Master Lu was busy consecrating Lu San's bones.
Next to it, there are several pieces of Earth Dragon Hide armor waiting to complete the last step and be consecrated.
Rumble!
There was a thunder in the sky, Li Yan took a look at the sky with an oil-paper umbrella, and then continued to wait with peace of mind.
After finishing all these magic weapons, I'm afraid I'll have to wait until dark...
Wow!
In the thick fog, a black shadow fluttered down and it was Night Owl, brother Meishan Dharma Sect.
The surrounding white fog contained White Tiger Evil, which ordinary people could not detect, but this Night Owl was so frightened that it trembled all over and could not stand firm after landing.
"Finally got it..."
Accompanied by Cang Lao's voice, a pair of muddy hands took out Red Mohe from the skin...
