On the river in the dark night, three ships, one large, two small, were sailing through the night.
The big ship is Jiujiang Sentry Ship, and the small ship is a flatland clipper. No matter which one, they have been specially modified. The weak and key parts are covered with iron sheets, and Evil Suppression Talisman is hung on the bow.
However, several of the ships were badly damaged, but barely fell apart.
"Everyone, be alert, we're almost there!"
A Daoist stood on the deck holding a sword and shouted.
He had obviously gone through many fierce fights. His robes were in tatters and stained with blood. He had even been blinded in one eye and was randomly bandaged with white cloth, making him look hideous.
But other people on the boat were even more depressed and despairing.
After One-Eye boosted his morale, he turned to look at the cabin.
Inside, there is Da Li Bronze Bell shipped from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. This item is Nation-Protecting Divine Artifact. Even though it is also Tai Xuan Orthodox Sect, it has been sold for a lot of favors.
The personnel escorted by the other party have also died in the battle, and they will have to come to apologize in the future.
If Jin Ling can't be saved in this way, his years of training will be in vain.
But the Daoist is not sure whether it will succeed. He only hopes that reinforcements will come faster...
"Look, it's here again!"
From the side boat, a horrified cry rang out.
One-Eyed Taoist quickly turned his head, but saw that the river behind him had been shrouded in thick black mist at some point. The mist surged and spread like a living thing, quickly blocking the moonlight.
Then, a biting chill came out of nowhere.
The boatman's breath turned into mist, and the ropes were quickly covered with frost.
The planks of the ship's hull crackled and crackled due to the low temperature, coupled with the condensing frost, causing the speed to become slower and slower.
On the deck, the few remaining war horses stood up in shock.
The soldiers who were still alive at the guard station were holding weapons and looking around in horror. They could not see the enemy, but they felt suffocated inexplicably, and their skin felt as painful as ice needles piercing them.
But in the eyes of several monks, it was a different scene.
Some turned on Ear Mystical Power and heard the howling of Rampaging Soldiers like a beast.
When some people turn on the Smelling Mystical Power, they can smell the fishy smell of animals mixed with the smell of corpses.
And that One-Eyed Taoist pinched Yang Seal with his hand and used Eye Mystical Power.
What he awakened was the most common Yin Yang Eyes, but the one that could see evil spirits was the most practical Divine Ability. With this method, he also gained a lot of fame in Jiangnan Xuanmen.
But when Divine Ability was turned on and he took a look, his face instantly turned pale.
"It's over..."
But in the black mist, dozens of rotten Ghost Ship ships emerged. The hulls were covered with moss and barnacles, and the canvases were as tattered as shrouds.
It is covered with Rampaging Soldiers, or the whole body is rotten, or the body has the head of a wild beast, wearing rusty armor, and the body is translucent like a corpse floating in water.
Their eyes were burning with green will-o'-the-wisps, and they kept roaring at them.
One-Eyed Taoist's heart was filled with despair.
After a series of bloody battles, many people even fought to their death and used tyrannical secret techniques, and many of them have been eliminated.
Unexpectedly, as we approached Jinling City, we ushered in the strongest wave of attacks.
Phew~
Before he could think about it, a strong wind blew up on the river.
In the horrified eyes of One-Eyed Taoist, the sinister black mist surged and quickly spread across the river like a carpet. Those Rampaging Soldiers stepped on the black mist and swarmed in.
But others saw that the wind was howling, a layer of frost quickly gathered on the river surface, and a series of wet and dense footprints appeared out of thin air on the frost surface.
Almost instantly, they were surrounded.
Wherever they passed, purple and black handprints suddenly appeared on the necks of some soldiers, cold breath came from their mouths, their faces turned pale and they fell to the ground.
The surrounding monks used secret techniques or spells to resist.
However, they can't even protect themselves.
One-Eyed Taoist gritted his teeth, exerted force on his feet, and ran towards the cabin.
The only chance now is to ring Da Li Bronze Bell.
However, these Nation-Protecting Divine Artifact cannot be driven by one person at all. They need many Daoist masters to set up altars.
He tried his best but could barely knock the sound.
But the price is that his soul will be scattered and he will never be reincarnated.
One-Eyed Taoist is determined to die and wants to fight for a way for the remaining people to survive.
Boom!
At this moment, there was a roar from the hilltop opposite.
With the flash of fire, the river exploded, and water waves splashed several feet high.
The core area of the explosion was the black mist.
Although the swarming Rampaging Soldiers are invisible evil spirits, those rotten and tattered Ghost Ship are real. They are just made from sunken ships infected with Yin Energy, carved with various talismans, and buried with human bones and other things.
This object is equivalent to Rampaging Soldiers's temporary altar.
With this magical weapon, you can sink into the river during the day and continue attacking at night.
There was a violent explosion, overturning and shattering seven or eight pieces of Ghost Ship.
The originally neat and orderly formation immediately showed flaws.
Phew~
The roaring Yin Wind on the river also stopped.
There is a chance...
One-Eyed Taoist was stunned and quickly looked towards the hilltop opposite.
The moon was dark and the wind was high, and the river was obscured by fog. Even if he turned on Divine Ability, he could only see some vague figures.
Even so, he felt excited in his heart.
Reinforcements have finally arrived!
On the top of the mountain, Wu Ba's feet left long traces.
He shook his body, and with a bang, the thick Tiger Crouching Cannon magazine fell. He inserted another one, took a few steps forward, and aimed at the river below.
The person Commandery Commandant Office next to him almost had his eyes popping out of his head.
New Type Cannons, driven by one person.
Even the scaled down version of Tiger Crouching Cannon is really exaggerated.
Is this thing in front of me still a human being?
Twelve Yuan Chen Others didn't bother to pay attention.
Wang Dao Xuan has already set up the altar, Five Directions Fengdu Banner placed it around.
As he waved Law Sword, sprayed Xun water from his mouth, and lit the talisman, Five Directions Fengdu Banner immediately rose into the sky, and then a strong wind blew and five black mist roared out.
It is Five Camps of Soldiers and Horses.
This Five Directions Fengdu Banner has many advantages. You only need to consume five Celestial Decree to make Five Camps of Soldiers and Horses permanent in the flag, eliminating the trouble of capture, domestication, and daily drills. It can also be carried with you and summon soldiers and horses at any time.
But one thing is that the power of summoning soldiers and horses is linked to the user's conduct.
It can be said that they are far from realizing the potential of Baoqi.
Even so, it is enough to deal with the current situation.
But seeing the roaring wind on the river, Five Camps of Soldiers and Horses turned into black mist, and almost in the blink of an eye, they arrived around the bell fleet.
Unlike Rampaging Soldiers's smell of beasts and corpses, Five Camps of Soldiers and Horses is pure yin energy, which directly disperses Rampaging Soldiers and protects the surroundings.
But I saw two waves of black mist billowing up and colliding with each other on the river.
When the soldiers on the ship saw this situation, they immediately became energetic.
"Young Hero Li, do we want to take action?"
On the top of the mountain, Commandery Commandant Office Qianhu, who came to help, clasped his fists and asked.
He is not a fool. Lord Qiu from the capital's attitude towards Li Yan is seen by all Commandery Commandant Office, so naturally he does not dare to use any official authority.
"No rush."
Li Yan said calmly, "The people below are all Rampaging Soldiers. You can't do anything if you go down. Wait for the people hiding behind to show up."
Then Commandery Commandant Office Qianhu hesitated for a moment, "It doesn't look good down there..."
Although he is not a magician, he has good eyesight.
The black mist transformed by the Yin soldiers in Five Directions Fengdu Banner, although more powerful, is far less numerous than Rampaging Soldiers, and can barely protect the fleet.
Li Yan shook his head slightly, "It's okay, we don't need to deal with these."
Boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, Tiger Crouching Cannon next to Wu Ba opened fire again.
On the river, more Ghost Ship were smashed.
Boom!
With two consecutive roars, the Ghost Ship team on the river was completely dispersed.
The gathering of many Ghost Ship is also a formation that can gather Yin Energy and maintain Rampaging Soldiers for long-term combat.
As soon as the fleet dispersed, it suddenly became rootless water.
Wang Dao Xuan took the opportunity to cast <Five Chapters Divine Secret>, and a mouthful of Gang Qi that had been warm in his chest sprayed on Five Directions Fengdu Banner.
Wow~
The precious flag was fluttering, and the Five Camps of Soldiers and Horses below suddenly became more fierce.
The strong wind roared and scattered the remaining Rampaging Soldiers.
Toot~
In the mountain col on the opposite side, a horn sound suddenly sounded.
"San Er!"
Li Yan shouted loudly and jumped out from the top of the mountain.
Lu San and Long Yan'er follow closely behind.
The three of them used the method of lightening themselves, running and jumping on the rocks on the hillside. With the help of Divine Ability, they found that the dark night was not an obstacle at all, and they disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Quickly, come with me!"
That Commandery Commandant Office Qianhu said hello and led his men down the mountain.
As for the remaining Sha LiFei and others, they are left to protect Wang Dao Xuan.
Bang bang bang~
When we reached the riverside, we were still unimpeded.
Li Yan used Divine Travel Technique, Long Yan'er and Lu San also used escape techniques, jumping on the river water, and then using the rocks, they quickly reached the other side.
As soon as he landed, Lu San slapped Demon Gourd on his waist.
Buzz!
Densely dense poisonous bees swarmed out like black mist...
It was dark and gloomy in the mountain valley.
A dozen figures sat around the open space.
Their identities are complex, including monks, salesmen, and people dressed as beggars, old and young, all with gloomy faces.
He was a man from Jiangnan's evil ways who was ordered to come here.
In front of them, flags were placed one after another, wrapped with red ropes, and in the middle were filled with black clay pots of various colors, all of which had their mouths opened.
Toot--!
An old man in black was blowing a horn.
Seeing Rampaging Soldiers turning into black mist roaring from the sky, he put down the horn and cursed, "Which bastard said it's not a big deal, the other party has experts and firearms, so this job can't be done!"
"What did you say?!"
A Daoist nun in black stood up suddenly and shouted angrily, "This is your order. If you can't get the bell, do you want to live?"
The old man in black didn't say anything. When he saw the black mist in the air falling into the tank one after another, he quickly stepped forward. His eyes were filled with distress. As he closed the lid, he said, "How to get it? Ghost Ship has been destroyed. It's a pity that it took several generations for my soldiers and horses to achieve this scale..."
"Seeking death!"
The black-clothed Daoist nun's eyes flashed fiercely, and she was about to take action.
The old man in black sneered, and showed the Soul-Calling Banner in his hand stained with blood, "I won't go back to Taihu Lake at worst. At most, I will go to Nanyang to hang out. If I go there, I won't be afraid of you ladies."
This old man is the descendant of an evil sect that raises ghosts and casts spells.
Although he spent a lot of money to make the move, he was not interested in Lei Yin.
Since Divine Land has become more and more strict in controlling Daoism, many evil demons have gone to sea and spread their branches outside.
In those places, there is no organization like Divine Land Enforcement Hall.
Many people can be said to be the most powerful people in Nanyang.
The old man was already moved, but it was hard to leave his homeland, so he made up his mind now.
"No, no, we are all our own people, don't hurt the harmony."
A fat man who looked like a businessman quickly stood up and persuaded, "We have people in ambush outside who also have firearms. As long as we block the opponent's soldiers and horses, we can get the things back..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a warning sign rang out in his heart.
He turned around in a hurry and rolled around like a donkey.
However, it's already too late.
But when he saw a Blade Light flashing through the darkness and hovering in the air, the fat man felt a chill on his neck, as his entire head had been chopped off.
Blade Light roared in the air, circling up and down, it was Li Yan Soul Severing Throwing Knife.
"Flying sword!"
"Idiot, no!"
There was a sudden commotion in the team.
Before they could react, Li Yan jumped through the air.
After he landed, he didn't waste any time. He exerted force under his feet, and his body was as fast as light and shadow. The electric light on Severing Dust Blade flashed, and two Soul Severing Throwing Knifes roared around him.
It was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, and when it landed, it killed two people.
"It's King of Hell Li!"
Everyone was horrified and quickly evaded.
I originally thought that there was a bandit defense outside, but I didn't expect that Li Yan easily broke through. Unfortunately, many of them only knew magic, and Martial Arts had average cultivation. When Li Yan got close to him, he suffered heavy casualties.
At the same time, a series of screams could be heard in the surrounding dense forest.
But it was Lu San and Long Yan'er who took action at the same time.
Demon Gourd poisonous bees, Sesame Gu, are simply unstoppable in this dark night.
"Let's go!"
The old man in black had a face full of pain. He looked at the black pottery pots all over the floor, but he didn't bother to pay attention. He turned around and ran towards the mountains.
Others followed suit and ran around.
Li Yan showed no mercy and followed behind to kill him.
At the same time, Commandery Commandant Office's troops have also arrived.
The gunshots continued to roar, and the bandits hiding in the dense forest were defeated...
"Here we are, here we are!"
When they saw the blurry shadow Jinling City Zi Hour, everyone on the ship finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Young Hero Li, thank you for your help!"
Then One-Eyed Taoist took a step forward and bowed his hands respectfully.
Li Yan returned the courtesy seriously, "Daoist Priest Chiyang is so polite."
This man is also from the Maoshan sect, but he behaves in a heroic manner, which is completely different from those in the city. Li Yan admires him very much.
Soon, a huge fleet appeared on the river.
It was the navy that defended Jinling.
Li Yan also breathed a sigh of relief. With the navy's response, the bronze bell was completely safe.
Finally, after paying a considerable price, the scarred fleet finally arrived at Jinling Pier. The simple and thick "Da Li Bronze Bell" decorated with Cloud and Thunder Pattern was carefully lifted off the ship and transported to Qixia Mountain Taoist Temple.
The arrival of the bronze bell indicates that the core components of "Dragon Offering Ceremony" are ready.
Within Jinling City, various Xuanmen sects, under the command of Zhou Yinyao, went to various formation nodes to step up their arrangements, waiting for the auspicious time to arrive.
However, Li Yan knows that the real battle has not yet begun...
"Wow~wow~"
Thirty miles west of Jinling City, there is a deserted Mass Burial Grounds.
The night is dark and the crows are crows.
The broken tombstones were tilted, and phosphorus fire floated faintly among the tombs.
Two completely different but equally eerie auras descended quietly like thick ink dripping into water.
On the half-collapsed tomb on the east side, a figure appeared silently.
This man was tall and thin, wearing a wide Daoist robe made of countless pale bone fragments, and a Daoist crown made of tiny skulls.
He has a withered face, sunken eye sockets, and strange pale green pupils. He is holding a white bone staff with a fist-sized skull on the top.
Next to a cracked thin-skinned coffin on the west side, a rickety figure slowly straightened up, making strange gurgling sounds from time to time.
Phew~
In the dense forest, a strong wind suddenly blew up.
An old man walked out slowly, leaning on a wooden staff. The monk's robe was covered with moss and mildew, and thin grass grew out of the withered white hair.
It is the Jinling old demon "Old Man Lin" that Li Yan is tracking.
This Old Ghost is already well-known as a Jiangnan demon, but facing these two figures, he was still extremely excited and excited, and he held his hands respectfully and said:
"Juniors, see Hundred Bones True Man! Corpse Clothes Granny!"
"Unexpectedly, you two are also out of the mountain. This battle will definitely live up to the great trust of the queen!"
