The First Clash

However, despite their young age, their Divine Dao aura, far surpassing that of ordinary demons, was enough to reveal their true identities.

Upon their appearance, all the Land God knelt on one knee and respectfully said, "Earth God, we receive the decree from the Goddess!

After Yin Yunze was promoted to Primordial Lady of the Azure Heavens, these Land God, who were directly under Yin Yunze's command, naturally fell out of the City God's control.

After all, Divine Dao is not a true dynasty bureaucracy and has no authority to cross-manage.

It's a higher level. Unless it's a special divine office like the City God, or someone with a direct subordinate relationship, they don't have the authority to govern other deities.

Not to mention that, as a deity of the same level, how could the County City God have the authority to manage the subordinates of Primordial Lady of the Azure Heavens?

And finally, all sorts of little demons appeared.

The Wu Yang Jue, however, consisted of over a thousand lesser demons of various kinds.

Among them, the local demons of Qingling County looked at the City God with some fear.

The little demons who had migrated from other counties, not wanting to miss out on the fun, taunted the City God.

After all, the chance to have a powerful figure back them up and publicly insult the City God is probably a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them.

Once everyone had arrived, Yin Yunze's side, numbering over a thousand, outnumbered the City God's dozens of men by a large margin.

Although he had imagined it many times, Yin Yunze still felt somewhat excited after actually doing it.

His fox ears twitched involuntarily, and his nine tails swayed more dramatically than usual. Looking at the City God, Yin Yunze chuckled, "Now, I certainly have a fair number of people on my side!"

"A bunch of demons and monsters, that does suit your fox demon identity." Looking at Yin Yunze's thousand-strong force, the City God sneered, "However, you underestimate me, City God of seven hundred years!"

As the City God spoke, City God figure rapidly grew taller, instantly reaching a height of one hundred meters.

"Yin General soldiers and generals, assist me in vanquishing all enemies!"

As the hundred-meter- City God stomped his foot hard, the next moment, countless ghostly soldiers emerged from behind City God.

A cursory glance revealed that there were tens of thousands of them!

These ghostly soldiers, however, all glared at the City God with resentment and malice.

However, due to the City God's duty to oversee the souls of the dead, he had no choice but to obey.

The resentment of each of these ghostly soldiers was dozens of times more ferocious than that of Grandfather Huang Three's accomplices.

Those who harbored the most resentment were almost at the level they were when Yin Yunze first met Guo Jing.

Even if the timeframe is extended to seven hundred years, it means that every year dozens of souls are forcibly absorbed into the Yin army by the City God.

Seeing this difference in numbers, the lesser demons on Yin Yunze's side immediately began to feel uneasy.

Even at the average level, Yin Yunze's level is higher.

However, the nearly twenty-fold difference still made the little demons feel somewhat uneasy.

Sensing the fear of the lesser demons, Yin Yunze waved his hand, and two weapons, one large and one small, appeared in front of each of them.

These weapons were something these lesser demons had never heard of or seen before.

These different types of weapons all belong to the same category: firearms.

"You have more men, but luckily I've also acquired quite a few weapons at zero cost!"

While distributing the pistols and rifles to the lesser demons, Yin Yunze also used Illusion Technique to show everyone how to use the weapons.

At the same time, Yin Yunze flew into the air amidst the wind and snow, revealing Mutton-Fat Jade Purification Vase in his hand.

With the bottle spout pointing downwards, countless streams of pure water, which seemed like poison to evil spirits and ghosts, were manipulated by Yin Yunze and incorporated into the bullets.

Ordinary bullets cannot harm a soul, but bullets mixed with this purified water are a different story.

Unlike the daily dose of sweet dew, the production of this purified water is much greater, so there's no need to worry about waste.

Yin Yunze's only worry was that the pure water might spill on these little demons.

After all, given the nature of these lesser demons, this pure water would also be harmful to them.

Even holding a gun handle that has been moistened with clean water would likely result in a burn-like sensation.

"Kill them all!"

While Yin Yunze was making preparations, the City God commanded all the ghosts to launch an attack.

These ghostly soldiers were no ordinary ghosts. Although they couldn't fly freely, it wasn't too difficult for them to drift across the ravine that was several tens of meters wide.

At this point, even the mortal body no longer hides itself.

At this juncture, there's no need to continue hiding the secret of this dual-body soul.

Holding the Pure Scenery Ruyi Saber, he appeared beside Lord of Du Mountain, his mortal form pleading, "Lord Du, lend me a hand!"

The next moment, the Authority over Frost and Snow combined with the Authority over Storms.

Primarily composed of mortal beings, a fierce snow tornado appeared in the world, accompanied by heavy snowfall.

As the snow tornado, tens of meters in diameter, moved rapidly, hundreds of Yin soldiers were drawn into it, and then quickly scraped away by the snowflakes and sharp wind blades that contained the power to ward off evil.

In a single breath, he was sliced into countless pieces.

Although these ghostly soldiers were mostly acting against their will, this was already a war.

Being kind to others is being cruel to yourself.

Of course, the mortal body did not become complacent and did not directly control the snow tornado to attack the City God. The mortal body simply manipulated the snow tornado to swallow and crush all the Yin soldiers who tried to cross the ravine.

Seeing that something was wrong, the ghost soldiers weren't fools; they naturally thought of their special nature as souls.

Some of the newly emerged ghost soldiers, seeing the snow tornado hurtling towards them, instinctively prepared to burrow into the mud.

However, as a result of the upgrade to Primordial Lady of the Azure Heavens, the mortal body, as Land God, also gains an enhanced ability to manipulate the Earth Vein Power.

"Turn Mud into Iron!"

Of course, while it's said that Turn Mud into Iron, it doesn't actually change the nature of the land.

The mortal body merely manipulates the Earth Vein Power, causing the land to repel all those who are not permitted to enter.

Those ghostly soldiers who wanted to enter the land to escape the snow tornado crashed into this wall that Turn Mud into Iron. Not only did they fail to enter, they also became dizzy and disoriented from the impact. Without any chance to react, they were swallowed up and pulverized by the snow tornado.

Seeing that Yin Yunze had used this trick to block the attack of his subordinates, the City God finally couldn't hold back any longer.

With a single stride, the distance of tens of meters was merely a step in front of the City God's hundreds-of-meters-tall body.

With one step, the City God arrived before the snow tornado.

The snow tornado, tens of meters wide, looked like a large tree in front of the City God.

Faced with this massive, snow-white tree, the City God chose to reach directly into the snow tornado and shout, "Open for me!"

With a forceful tear, the City God ripped the enormous snow tornado in two.

It transformed into two hurricanes, blowing in both directions.

In no time, it was impossible to know how many large trees were blown down or flattened along the way.

Seeing this, Fan Ti and Lord of Du Mountain changed their tactics again.

Instead of working together to create the spectacular snow tornado, they simply whipped up a blizzard.

The strong winds turned into blades, and the snowflakes resembled sharp swords.

Snowflakes and wind blades may seem harmless, but they mercilessly slicing through any ghostly soldiers that dare to approach.

Compared to the snow tornadoes with their concrete forms, the City God found it much harder to deal with this invisible blizzard.

Seeing this, the City God raised his giant hand and slammed it down on the mortal body and the location of Lord of Du Mountain.

However, upon discovering the mortal body, he immediately turned over and took over Lord of Du Mountain's body.

Without a word, Lord of Du Mountain flapped his wings amidst the gust of wind and escaped the City God's slap, flying into the air.

Fortunately, after the battle began, the demons on Yin Yunze's side retreated some distance.

Otherwise, who knows how many people would have been killed by the City God's slap.

Knowing that he couldn't catch up with Lord of Du Mountain, the City God didn't choose to pursue him.

They witnessed the loss of over a thousand Yin soldiers in just one encounter.

Although this isn't a large amount in the total, it's not a solution either.

At this moment, the City God disregarded social hierarchy and roared, "All of you, come upon me!"

The City God, however, chose to use his own body as a bridge, preparing to lead tens of thousands of ghost soldiers forward.

The City God was well aware that crossing one ravine was already this difficult; if Yin Yunze continued to create new ravines, then even if all tens of thousands of Yin soldiers died, they might not be able to reach Clear Creek Village.

As long as he doesn't go to Clear Creek Village, Yin Yunze's base of operations, Yin Yunze will always be able to handle things with ease.

Only by drawing the battlefield to a place where Yin Yunze has no choice but to consider his options can we render Yin Yunze helpless.

Upon hearing the City God's command, the tens of thousands of ghost soldiers swarmed over City God body like ants.

However, the snowflake wind blades controlled by Yin Yunze and Lord of Du Mountain were weakened by more than half after they approached the City God.

The snowflake wind blades, powerful enough to kill Yin soldiers, were immediately weakened by more than half when faced with the Dynastic Karmic Luck emanating from the City God.

When the wind blew onto the ghost soldiers, it seemed to truly transform into a bit of frost.

Carrying tens of thousands of ghost soldiers, the City God, hundreds of meters tall, grabbed the edge of the ravine and prepared to leap up.

Just then, a long sword, tens of meters wide and hundreds of meters long, descended from the sky and struck the City God fiercely.

This is a longsword made of frost, snow, and gale.

After striking the City God, the longsword, with its blades swirling and cutting like a chainsaw, was now shrouded in snowflakes and raging wind.

And very quickly, it severed the protection of the Dynastic Karmic Luck and struck the City God.

But the next moment, the City God directly raised the long sword of wind and snow.

The long sword, capable of cleaving through the Dynastic Karmic Luck, was now blocked by the City God's single hand.

"Who do you take me for?! I am the City God!"

Not only that, the City God turned around and grabbed the long sword in his hand, letting the sword cut into his palm.

"The greatest virtue of City God is not conquest, but defense and protection! Judge this matter!"

As he spoke, the City God gripped the long, snow-covered sword with both hands, intending to break it in two.

Just then, a small item was delivered to the City God by the power of the wind and snow.

Because of the heavy snow and the fact that he was dealing with the long sword in the snowstorm, the City God didn't notice anything amiss.

The unnoticed price was a violent explosion mixed with black lightning that erupted right before the City God's eyes.

Exploded by the thunder and fire, the City God lost his footing and his control over the Wind and Snow Blade.

With the City God no longer restraining him, the longsword of the Wind and Snow struck the City God directly.

With this strike, the sword finally tore open the City God's official robes, creating a wound, and caused the City God to fall into the ditch.

In an instant, countless ghost soldiers were shaken to the ground, and countless others were killed by the City God's buttocks.

Surrounded by seven Dark Heavenly Lightning Flag, the divine body landed on Lord of Du Mountain.

Finally, after recharging the bullets, the divine body was finally free of its hands.

"Since you know you're good at guarding your home, why did you come out to die? You should have just stayed home and waited to be beheaded."

Looking at the City God, who seemed somewhat dazed from the explosion, the divine body said indifferently, "Moreover, your defense, judging from the looks of it, is utterly vulnerable!"
