Rumble!
The heavy church door fell backwards.
Four Commandery Commandant Office masters entered instantly. Two of them looked around with knives, while the other two jumped and rolled, and when they stood up, they squatted down and held muskets.
Several people have ranged attacks and melee attacks, which are enough to deal with most situations.
People in this world are definitely not that stupid.
Li Yan relied on his previous life experience and immediately formulated relevant tactics for the team after New-Style Gunpowder appeared. Although the imperial court was belatedly aware of this, it also kept trying.
For example, the Commandery Commandant Office Sharpshooter Team is specifically designed to deal with Grandmasters.
The church hall was still so dark, with swaying torches and the pungent smell of spices, masking a faint rotten odor.
In front of the altar of the statue, a large group of men in black were kneeling densely.
When they heard the noise, the people in black did not panic, but stood up and turned around silently. Their faces were pale, their eyes were dark and cold, and there were large areas of ulcers on their skin.
Swish, swish, swish!
Several people suddenly had short knives in their hands and rushed towards the door.
"Something's wrong with them, do something!"
People from Commandery Commandant Office also experienced Old Taoist and opened fire immediately.
Boom!
Muskets roared and gunpowder smoke scattered.
The two believers at the front were beaten with blood and flesh splattering on the spot.
But the remaining people seemed to be possessed by evil spirits, their bodies were weirdly twisted, and they instantly scattered in a crawling manner. Some climbed the wall, some jumped onto the stone pillars, and some even hung upside down on the roof, rushing towards the people from all directions.
Faced with this strange situation, everyone at Commandery Commandant Office was not panicked.
"Retreat!"
The leader gave the order, and several people immediately put their feet on the ground.
The floor tiles cracked and shattered, and they flew out with this force.
It turns out that the few people who entered are all Hidden Strength experts.
As soon as they jumped out of the gate, they immediately dispersed, and the musketeers who had already lined up outside also pulled the triggers.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The gunshots were fired continuously, and none of the dozen or so believers who rushed out were dead.
If other people encountered such a strange situation, they would probably be frightened and suffer heavy casualties, but these Commandery Commandant Office members managed by Luo MingZi are not surprised.
What's more, there are Daoist priests from the Enforcement Hall behind us holding the line.
"Dharma Master, what should I do?"
On the wooden frame high up in the church, warrior Sanada asked in a low voice.
They have arrived, but there is no support.
"This place is surrounded, use your escape technique to leave first!"
Tamayori Hime Kantsuki ordered without hesitation.
While speaking, he had bitten his thumb and drew "Nine Schools" on his palm, which means "Lin, Bing, Du, Zhe, Jie, array, array, in front". At the same time, he muttered rapidly in Japanese dialect, "The universe is dim, the wind and dust can escape. The earth spirit clears the way, Kodama is transformed--"
This is the mantra of escape contained in Japanese <Wansen Shukai>.
As for Sanada and other warriors, they simultaneously threw "Escape Dust" mixed with ashes and cinnabar, causing gray-yellow smoke to rise instantly from the ground.
This is <Shonin Ki> Iga-ryū "Tsuchigumo no jutsu" in the Middle East.
Everyone cooperates with each other to perform a large-scale escape technique. The essence is to use filth Malevolent Qi to cover the yang energy of the living person, making the performer burrow like an insect in the ground.
Led by Tamayori Hime Kantsuki, the joint operation gave them the confidence to sneak into Divine Land.
Phew~
Dust was everywhere on the ground, and everyone had disappeared.
At the same time, a stream of dust rushed into the dark alley behind the church and spread outward.
Ring ring ring!
Just as the gray smoke was about to pass through the street, a continuous sound of copper bells suddenly sounded at the intersection.
"Hmph!"
The Enforcement Hall Daoist on the street sneered, waved the Dharma flag, and "Soul Startling Banner" decorated with Five Emperors' money, immediately made a clatter.
The sound surged with the force, like a big net surrounding it in all directions.
The billowing smoke and dust on the ground immediately dissipated like boiling soup and splashing snow.
Poof!
Several warriors staggered and fell out of shape, with black blood oozing from their mouths and noses.
This is the consequence of the escape technique's backlash.
A layer of dirty black spots appeared on the Hyakki Entou knife of deputy leader Sanada, and there was the wailing sound of the innocent soul Fierce Ghost in the air.
As for Tamayori Hime Kantsuki, the palm "Nine Schools" also became as black as charcoal, and the finger bones were strangely broken in reverse.
This is also a backlash. As the saying goes, "Those who try to escape the law against the will will be bitten by evil spirits."
"Foreign Lands Xiaoshu, how dare you come to Divine Land to cause trouble!"
Tian Chiliarch sneered and emerged from the morning mist.
He had been besieged and attacked by the Japanese in the south. This time he was naturally angry and waved his hand without hesitation and ordered, "Kill!"
Suddenly, the machine sound of Evil-Slaying Crossbow sounded like a shower.
This is also Commandery Commandant Office's treasure. All arrows are made of peach wood as the shaft, iron as the blade, and are engraved with evil-breaking Cloud Pattern arrow clusters, specially designed to deal with Xuanmen warlocks.
The crossbow bolts tore through the air, weaving a web of death.
The warrior leader Sanada Li Xiao drew his sword, and the blade was filled with black and purple resentment. It was the magical weapon of his lineage "Hyakki Entou".
He alternated his steps left and right, holding swords in both hands and dancing like a horse.
Clang clang clang!
When Blade Light passed by, the arrows flew away, and others took the opportunity to follow behind and rush forward.
These Japanese warriors are brave people who know they have to fight tooth and nail.
"Are you leaving?"
Enforcement Hall includes not only Daoists, but also other magicians.
But I saw a young man wearing a small hat, smiled slightly, and suddenly took out Wen Wang Drum from behind his back, beating and dancing, and kept singing.
"Old Immortal Family sits firmly in the Soul Gathering Hall, and the beard, yellow, white, and willow gray dominate all directions. At midnight, I am told to go east, and the evil star will fall in the ditch above your head~"
Not only that, he was shaking his head and stomping on the ground, as if he was possessed by something.
"Yellow Third Master Chen holds the lamp in his mouth to illuminate the shadow of the soul, and the seven souls are nailed to the soul-drawing flag~"
This singing voice sounds nothing to others.
But when it fell into the ears of many Japanese people, they were upset and their blood surged.
Sanada, who was the first to bear the brunt, was even more sluggish.
Puff!
Two crossbow arrows instantly penetrated his shoulder blades.
"Cover the Dharma Master!"
This Sanada can be considered loyal, and Demon Blades did not forget to remind him when he landed.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he was shot and his head exploded.
"Dharma Master, leave quickly!"
The remaining warriors also stood in front of Tamayori Hime Kantsuki.
As for Tamayori Hime Kantsuki, it is also uncomfortable.
He had just been attacked by the Escape Technique, bleeding from the corner of his mouth. The ancient sword "Moon Coffin" in his arms was trembling violently. Frost spread from the gap in the scabbard, and he was trying his best to suppress it.
"Break his legs!"
Luo MingZi saw this and immediately gave the order.
This group of Japanese people have committed many crimes in the capital, so naturally they cannot escape death, but the other party is obviously related to Jianmu, so it is best to seize them alive and interrogate them.
But at this moment, a sudden change occurred.
But from the shattered church door, more than a dozen priests with dark eyes rushed out screaming!
They had oilcloth bags tied to their chests and were smoking.
"Retreat!"
Tian Chiliarch urgently ordered a change of formation.
However, it's already too late.
Black smoke billowed in the loud noise, and the bluestone street was blown into a deep hole.
The smelly minced meat spread Killing Intent everywhere.
Commandery Commandant Office A gap was opened in the encirclement, and several soldiers were affected. Although they were not injured, their bodies were stained with a lot of stinky grease and burned.
Soon, these soldiers fell to the ground covered in bruises and convulsions.
"It's the Nanyang Corpse Fire Thunder, be careful!"
When Tian Chiliarch saw it, his expression suddenly changed.
Great Xuan Dynasty created New-Style Gunpowder and showed its majesty on the southeastern battlefield. How could it not attract the prying eyes of the surrounding Foreign Lands?
Even though the gunpowder formula was leaked, research continued.
This "Corpse Fire Thunder" is one of them. It combines the Nanyang head-lowering technique and is mixed with corpse oil from the cemetery to refine it. Although it only uses ordinary gunpowder, it is extremely difficult to deal with.
Corpse oil is so poisonous that an ordinary person would die if he got even a drop of it.
Clang!
In the confusion, Tamayori Hime Kantsuki gritted his teeth and pulled out the ancient sword.
He Lineage generation Attendant ghost and god "Tamayori Hime".
This ancient sword "Moon Coffin" is both a seal and a container.
Chichi~
As the ancient sword was drawn out, a large amount of white cold mist surged outward.
In an instant, flying snow suddenly fell in a radius of ten feet, and ice crystals condensed on the ground.
In the mist swirling with wind and snow, one could vaguely see the outline of a woman blurred by the flying snow.
This is the devil "Tamayori Hime".
In some places in Japan, she is also called Snow Girl.
This method was used to destroy Team Commandery Commandant Office in the suburbs of Beijing.
The two Enforcement Hall Daoists around him were unable to dodge and were instantly frozen into ice sculptures and shattered!
As for Tamayori Hime Kantsuki, his face was as white as snow, his pupils were blue, and he had no expression.
He has been possessed by the devil, and "Tamayori Hime" also cast the spell through him.
"Evil!"
In the distance, the old man's shout was like thunder.
At the top of the street corner teahouse, a man in purple robe Old Taoist has a halberd and a straight beard.
It is Dragon Tiger Mountain who sits in charge of Capital Region's National Teacher Zhang Ruochen.
The identity of Zhao Qingxu has been found out. Dragon Tiger Mountain is guilty of negligence. He cannot pretend to be confused in public or private matters, so he was invited to participate in this event.
He snorted coldly, and took out a bronze seal from his sleeve, with the dragon seal wrapped around it and the four characters "Du Tian Lei Huo" engraved on it. It turned out to be Celestial Master Mansion, an inherited magic weapon.
Old Taoist took out the magic weapon and chanted a spell on the roof.
Zizzi~
A tiny arc appeared in the space around the possessed Tamayori Hime Kantsuki.
In order to make the thunder fall from the sky, the real thunder method requires the right time, place and people, and the altar must be set up in advance, which is very troublesome.
This Old Taoist borrowed the power of the magic weapon to use thunder from a distance.
Although it is said to be powerful, its effect is not strong.
Tamayori Hime Kantsuki was not afraid. He twisted his neck and his figure disappeared instantly.
He reappeared, already in the sky above Luo MingZi. From his neck to his right arm, everything was covered in ice. It condensed into a sharp ice pick on his hand and stabbed down hard.
This speed is beyond normal, and Luo MingZi has no time to dodge.
However, what he said urgently was, "Stay alive!"
Before he finished speaking, a green shadow passed across the battlefield like a ghost.
Bang!
With a muffled sound, the ice cubes on Tamayori Hime Kantsuki's body shattered, and at the same time, his bones made a clicking sound, and he flew upside down and hit the wall, leaving only one breath.
"Senior Huo?" Tian Chiliarch was stunned.
Wang Dao Xuan and others who were watching from a distance were also surprised.
Unexpectedly, Grandmaster Huo Yin also came here.
What they didn't know was that Divine Fist Huo Yin had been stationed in the academy for a long time, but they still had no clues about Zhao Qingxu. Therefore, when they heard that there was a discovery, they immediately came to check.
Originally I wanted to hide, but seeing that the demon was rampant, I had no choice but to take action.
Tamayori Hime Kantsuki, the one with the best kung fu, was beaten and disabled, and the others are not a threat.
Soon, all the Japanese warriors were wiped out, and all the possessed believers were killed. Enforcement Hall The warlocks lit the wormwood to dispel darkness and rushed into the dark church...
The next day, Qiankun Academy.
"What a pity, Zhao Qingxu was not found."
In the main hall of the small courtyard, Wang Dao Xuan's eyes were full of helplessness, "We have seen that the church statue was parasitically infected by the devil Liu Yuanheng's demonic energy. Most of the believers are ordinary people, so they were easily controlled."
"It took a lot of effort to build this church. It's called the 'Holy Land' in the West. The believers don't interact with outsiders most of the time, so no one finds out..."
"The leaders of the Japanese warriors have confessed that the plot to plot the Steam Engine blueprint was a temporary move. Unexpectedly, they fell into Zhao Qingxu's trap. Coupled with domestic changes, they were stranded in the capital..."
"Zhao Qingxu still has no clues. Peach Mountain Wood did not go to the church after taking it from Shaman Wu. It is unknown where he went. According to the Japanese leader's confession, the person who helped Zhao Qingxu was a Japanese spy with the pseudonym 'You Er'..."
Listening to Wang Dao Xuan's words, Li Yan was thoughtful.
He looked out the window, listened to the jingling sound in the workshop, shook his head slightly and said, "Zhao Qingxu This demon originates from the greed of people. It has been active in the capital since the Song Dynasty. The capital of all dynasties has been a gathering place for the turbid atmosphere of the world. He can hide it until now, and his methods are naturally good."
"I have a guess in my mind that this demon's target is probably the unborn 'Sui Lun True Monarch'. All these troubles are just to cover his real actions!"
Wang Dao Xuan frowned and rubbed the dust in his hand, "This monster is really difficult to deal with, and it has a big agenda. If it is not eliminated, it will be no less dangerous than Jianmu."
"Hmm."
Li Yan said in a deep voice, "That Mount Taodu Wood is the key. Zhao Qingxu attaches so much importance to concealment, it must be the key to his plan."
"The capital is too big for us to play cat-and-mouse games with him. Tell Luo MingZi about this. Even if we can't find him, we will still cause some trouble for Zhao Qingxu."
"'Sui Lun True Monarch' is the key. Let's not go out during this period, just stay in the academy and protect the statue."
"That's fine."
Wang Dao Xuan caress the beard and agree.
Li Yan was about to speak when his ears moved slightly and he turned to look out the window.
But when he saw an academy official running over in a hurry and knocking on the open wooden door, he rushed in regardless, bent over and clasped his fists while panting, and said, "Mr. Li I'm sorry for being rude, but a distinguished guest has come to the academy. Mr. Jian Zheng and Mr. Yan are waiting to receive him. Please come over."
"Who is coming and wants me to come?"
Li Yan frowned slightly, feeling a little dissatisfied.
Although he is now a member of the academy, he joined in the name of Attendant. The relationship between the two parties is more like a cooperative relationship. He does not want to participate in these useless things that are coming to him.
Dian Bo swallowed, "It's Directorate of Ceremonial Eunuch Zhao."
"Oh?"
Li Yan When he heard this, his expression became solemn.
When it comes to the power of the imperial court, two people cannot be separated.
The first is Grandmaster Huo Yin, the top two in terms of combat power among the ten Grandmasters. They are the emperor's guards and the leaders of Divine Fist Society. Through this huge organization, they indirectly control the world...
The other one is this Directorate of Ceremonial great eunuch Zhao Wujiu.
No one knows how powerful he is, but there are many legends that he won the emperor's trust, carried out palace coups, personally conquered the north and south, and later reorganized the court. I don't know how many people died at his hands, so he has a great reputation.
Even Commandery Commandant Office is under its indirect jurisdiction.
A lot of notoriety was born because of it. Although Zhao Wujiu later voluntarily resigned from Commandery Commandant Office's official position in order to calm people's hearts, he still controlled it behind the scenes.
The sudden visit of such a person naturally made everyone in the academy wary.
The strange thing is, what to ask him to do...
