First Lord of Earth

"Who is Qi Jiguang? How can you, Mr. Yoshioka Jiro, react like this..."

The lord of Sakura Country was very surprised.

You know, the swordsman in front of you is the swordsman of the Yoshioka family, and one of the famous samurai in the history of Sakura Kingdom!

It is considered that the "swordsmanship" is comparable to those famous figures in the history of Sakura Country, and is not much worse than the later "Miyamoto Musashi, Sasa Kojiro" and the like!

"It's an enemy! Huh, this scar on my face was left on his hand... Even if I can recover it with the help of some treasures in this eternal place, I don't have so many. I just want to remind myself to remember that... war!"

The ronin holding a katana in his hand stared at Qi Jiguang with evil eyes, his expression was filled with hatred and fear, and he was struggling!

"Qi Jiguang was a military general of the Ming Dynasty... The 'Qi Family Army' he commanded was known as the best in modern times. It was an army specifically responsible for suppressing the 'Japanese' who entered the Chinese coast... and had a great record of fighting with the samurai of our Sakura Kingdom."

"Moreover, the battle loss exceeded one hundred to one!"

"Often after an encounter, our side suffers heavy casualties, but not even a single person from the Qi Army was killed!"

However, the lord who knew a lot about China was considered "erudite" and said in a very solemn tone.

"How is it possible? I don't believe it! Our Sakura Kingdom's warriors are brave and fearless. What kind of army can achieve such a death ratio... Such results must be bragging..."

The rest of the lords of the Riying Kingdom didn't look good when they heard this.

"Yes, Chinese history books just like to brag and exaggerate! How about going more than a thousand miles deep into the enemy's territory without navigation, making sacrifices to the gods in other people's homes, about destroying a country with just one person..."

However, most people still shake their heads!

The "samurai" who can represent the Sakura Kingdom are invincible in close combat, not afraid of death, and dare to commit seppuku after defeat.

Even if the opponent is a regular army, there is no problem in exchanging ten for one, let alone one for one. How could there be such a disastrous kill ratio of "hundreds to one"?

"If there really are such soldiers, wouldn't they be the soldiers rated by the legendary 'Yubai'? There aren't even a few armies on the entire planet, right?"

Some Sakura Kingdom lords even retorted.

"But, those soldiers really seem to be..."

Only the young man from Sakura Country who knew more about Chinese history seemed to have some kind of remote "insight information" method. After his eyes glowed with white light, the expression on his face became a little weird!

"Hiss, the arms rated by Yubai? Bai Yujing actually has the arms rated by Yubai... No, not only this one is rated by Yubai, but the soldiers led by Zhao Yun are also rated by Yubai... Also, Zhao Yun and Zhuge Liang , Bai Qi...his, they are all top-level geniuses with four characteristics!"

Just three talented people from the human race.

The key is that even the military has a "jade white" level.

In comparison, among the more than ten Sakura Kingdom territories now gathered in the Divine Bird City, there are very few troops with gold ratings, let alone the "Jade White" troops!

However, the young man did not say anything about this information.

After all, this may undermine the confidence of the lords of his own camp too much.

The battle with the catastrophic creatures is imminent, and military morale is more important than anything else.

But even so, these lords of Sakura Country soon felt that they were hit!

"It's strange why Bai Yujing's army hasn't ended yet. There are already about 40,000 to 50,000 people in front of them, but there are still more... Hiss, 60,000, 70,000, 80,000... I read that right, Bai Yujing actually gathered... An army of 150,000 people..."

A bunch of Sakura Country lords had dull expressions on their faces.

You must know that the total of more than ten Sakura Kingdom troops in the entire "Sacred Bird City" is only 50,000, which is only a "fraction" of Bai Yujing's army!

This is because the 20,000 troops included in the "Sacred Bird City"'s own geographical location can be counted, but it is still only a fraction of Bai Yujing's!

"We are both cities of destiny, how come the gap between Bai Yujing and us is so big? An army of 150,000 is more than enough to build a country!"

The extraordinary "Bird Knight" who had gone up to him had his mouth filled with goose eggs.

Suddenly I realized that my previous arrogance was a bit of a clown!

"Looking at the flags of the soldiers in the back, they don't belong to the same territory. They are probably allied forces like us. The real army belonging to Bai Yujing should be 40,000 to 50,000 people..."

However, the short city lord named Inoue has relatively meticulous observation skills and a calmer mentality!

Of course, having an army of 50,000 go on an expedition is astonishing enough. Doesn’t it mean that its own army is around 100,000?

You must know that the total population of most of the territories present is far less than 100,000. Bai Yujing, with a force of 100,000, is undoubtedly a potential threat to the Sakura Country adjacent to China!

After all, due to historical reasons, Sakura Kingdom and Huaxia Kingdom once had some historical entanglements. Even if everyone is in the eternal land now, it is impossible to completely let go.

It is for this reason that the "Extraordinary Bird Knight" specifically stated that the city does not accept Chinese personnel!

"You don't need to be discouraged. As far as I know, the reason why Bai Yujing was able to become the first 'city promotion' to become the overlord of a party is because during the last time the human secret realm was opened, he was able to gain a large amount of population resources near the water... Moreover, Bai Yujing even opened the legendary "Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang" and obtained a large number of treasures! "

The short city lord named Inoue comforted the others.

You know, in the Cherry Blossom Kingdom, Qin Shihuang's popularity is not low.

Even in the Taiqin area of ​​Ukyo District in Kyoto, there is a shrine dedicated to the first emperor of Qin, the Oishu Shrine. It says, "The great sake god, Qin Shihuang, is also the first emperor of Qin. Emperor Zhongai is in the imperial palace. King Gongman came to court and offered him a ferry. His divine experience is unparalleled." !

It can be seen that Qin Shihuang is highly worshiped in Japan.

The emperors of the past dynasties have even conferred the title of Qin Shihuang on many occasions, and his divine rank is the highest to the first rank.

Of course, if Zu Long really knew that a small island country in the future would dare to "consecrate" himself, Long Yan would be furious and directly attack with troops!

"But the last time it was just the Earth's will that gathered the human race within a thousand miles. Now it is the eternal will that has gathered the human race that is thousands of miles around. As long as you work together with our 'Sacred Bird City' and work together, you can make good use of this opportunity. It can definitely overtake Bai Yujing and become the real first territory..."

The name is Inoue Sakura Country Castle Lord, and the expression on his face is very confident and exciting!

"Besides, we don't need to worry too much. Although Bai Yujing is powerful, don't forget that the catastrophe creatures are not vegetarians. The so-called "shooting the first bird", based on the current situation, it seems that these catastrophe creatures are 'interested' in powerful luck owners. Very strong!”

"We will never become the first target relying on the city...but Bai Yujing is different..."

A Sakura Kingdom lord thought of something, with a somewhat "watching a show" expression on his face.

Although it has only been a month since the opening of the "Door of Catastrophe", the catastrophe creatures rushing out from it are already expanding in all directions like a "wave"!

In the past few days, signs of catastrophic creatures have appeared even around the "Sacred Bird City".

However, because there are territories and cities as support. Well, the "Sacred Bird City" repelled many attacks from catastrophic creatures without much loss, preventing them from succeeding!

The catastrophic creatures need to kill the eternal creatures and change their lives before they can survive in the eternal land for a long time.

Even if it can kill a creature with a higher level of luck than its own, the catastrophic creature can successfully "change its destiny" and advance directly!

In the Bai Yujing camp, so many people with high luck gather together, and even have the legendary "eternal genius", which is definitely a great "temptation" for some catastrophic creatures.

Even if he knew that Bai Yujing was very powerful, there would definitely be some catastrophic creatures "coming to his door"!

"Well, look, they're going to Devil's Lake in this direction. I'm afraid there's something good to watch. There's a 'big guy' hiding there..."

After walking out of the canyon, Bai Yujing's army did not stop at all.

Along the way, we continued marching towards the Gate of Catastrophe until evening, when we were ready to set up camp for repairs!

"Sir, there is water ahead, which is more suitable for stationing..."

Hua Rong, with a jade-clawed eagle on her arm, came to report on horseback.

For an army of hundreds of thousands of people, water is a must.

Although I also own utensils such as the Qiankun gourd, I am not so luxurious as to use it directly to hold water!

The only problem is that there is a black tree growing around the lake. The branches are very slender, like willow trees, but there is no leaf.

There was no sign of any living thing in the entire black willow forest!

"It seems a little weird, I need to test it first..."

Yan Qing said in his mouth.

"Let me go... I've been walking for a day and I'm really thirsty. I want to drink some water first..."

Li Kui grinned loudly, held a pair of axes in his hands, and ran over without any nonsense!

However, despite his reckless personality, Li Kui was not without his wits. Faced with the obviously problematic woods, he did not rush into it.

But after approaching a certain area, he found that it was not moving, so he pulled out the ax directly and chopped it on the "black magic tree" next to it!

"Hey, what's going on..."

The next moment, a tree was cut off on the spot, but what flowed out from it was not sap.

As he left, the gurgling blood surprised Li Kui!

"Ouch!"

The next moment, the trees around it began to shake crazily.

Then, it rose up from the ground as if it were alive, and directly wrapped and tied up Li Kui's black figure like an iron tower. The sharp branches drilled into his body like a drill, leaving behind traces of blood in an instant...

You know, Li Kui himself is extremely powerful, and even ordinary spiritual soldiers can hardly injure him. This shows that these branches are more powerful than ordinary spiritual soldiers.

"let me!"

There is no need for Xia Tian to give orders. Bai Yujing's subordinates have already taken action to save people...

"Wow..."

A pair of arms covered with tattoos, much thicker than the thighs of ordinary people, were powerful and heavy, grabbing the branches wrapped around Li Kui's body!

Then, the arm muscles quickly bulged and he exerted force.

The next moment, a large number of branches were pulled uncontrollably, and the tree trunks growing in the soil below were also pulled out of the soil.

"Master Lu, well done..."

Lu Zhishen was uprooted, and Xia Tian did not see it in person.

But this "demon tree" that was pulled out of the soil is really eye-catching...

"Hiss, this is..."

Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of gasping.

Because the roots beneath these trees were entangled with the bones of various creatures.

Among them, there were nearly a thousand human corpses that seemed to have been buried recently and were still mummified and not completely reduced to bones, along with a large number of armors and weapons.

This also explains why the "blood" flowing out of the tree trunk is the source.

The only better thing is that the clothes and weapons on these humans are not in Chinese style.

Wow!

After being forcibly pulled out of the ground, everyone discovered that the entire forest, covering an area of ​​several kilometers, actually belonged to an extraordinary creature.

Moreover, the aura on his body is very close to the "Four Extraordinary Realms"!

Then, as if they were irritated, all the branches in the entire area began to gather together and pierce towards Lu Zhishen who was grabbing him!

"Ha ha……"

However, Lu Zhishen was not afraid at all.

Because the aura on his body is no worse than that of this "Devil Tree", and he also belongs to the fourth level of quasi-transcendence!

"Amitabha, you are so good... What a demonic tree. It looks clean on the surface, but it is shrouded in black air and the smell of blood is soaring to the sky... It has eaten so many people secretly, so let Sajia help you purify it and go to hell as soon as possible. Go ahead..."

Faced with this scene that is comparable to "spiritual soldiers", hundreds of branches are attacking from all directions, above and below your head!

Lu Zhishen had no intention of letting go. Instead, a large amount of golden light came from his body, and in the blink of an eye, he transformed into a Buddha statue with a height of more than thirty meters and an angry King Kong!

The talent of an outstanding person - "Become a Buddha immediately"!

Ding, ding, ding...

The branches exuding demonic energy hit the golden Buddha's light, making a dense sound like the impact of cannonballs, and exploded with a large amount of black energy, almost covering Lu Zhishen.

Buzz!

However, in the blink of an eye, the golden light completely broke through the black energy.

Among them, Lu Zhishen was not only unscathed, but the golden Buddha light shone on the black branches, and it burned violently like a candle touching a flame, and spread all the way up the tree trunks...

It seemed that I felt something and became afraid.

Finally, unable to bear it any longer, the strong man was forced to cut off his wrist.

He directly twisted a large number of his branches and turned them into a bare wooden pile in an attempt to escape!

"Can you leave?"

But, before it sinks into the ground.

Xia Tian's eyebrows rushed out of the "Battle Map of Jiangshan" and turned into a golden light that rushed over the battlefield. After the dragon pattern scroll was unfolded, the "headless ghost and god" sitting cross-legged in it opened his eyes. The human revenge bow next to him opened like a full moon. .

The next moment, an arrow of revenge turned into a streak of blood.

It penetrated into the body of this catastrophic creature that was trying to cut off its wrists and escape, and instantly spread in all directions along its branches...

After a brief silence.

Boom, boom, boom... the whole forest area exploded continuously like a river toppling the sea.

In the end, a large amount of blood dyed the ground red and turned it into fertile soil, and the powerful aura that originally belonged to the "Man-Eating Demonic Tree" quickly weakened and disappeared!

"So strong...Bai Yujing's top level strength? So amazing!"

And this scene made the mouths of the people in the "Sacred Bird City" who continued to pay attention behind him grow even bigger.

A creature that was almost in the fourth realm of the extraordinary was actually killed so easily?

You know, the Sakura Kingdom once had territory before, and tried to approach the "Devil Forest", but the result was heavy losses, nearly a thousand soldiers were directly devoured, and even the "Honchu Duosheng" of the Fourth Extraordinary Realm personally took action, It can't be solved either.

After all, with his body of only 1.5 meters, even if he has extraordinary strength in the fourth realm, he cannot "uproot a weeping willow" like Lu Zhishen!

"Hiss, it would be too scary if all the heroes in Bai Yujing are so powerful..."

"Don't worry, absolutely not! Then wouldn't Li Kui be trapped?"

Many lords of the Sakura Country felt even more in danger.

After all, in most of the territory of Sakura Kingdom, the strongest people are only in the third realm of the extraordinary. In terms of strength, they are not even as good as the "Magic Willow" who is just a hair away from the fourth realm of the extraordinary!

Of course, what they didn't know was that Li Kui was not from Bai Yujing at all!

[Your territory participated in killing a 'sinful' catastrophic creature, the force's merit +100, and your personal merit +15...]

[You have arrived at the "catastrophe battlefield". If you kill the catastrophe creatures within this range, your own force, related personnel participating in the battle, and the leader of the force can obtain "merits". 】

[If your personal merit reaches 1,000 or more, you can consume the merit and ask the Eternal Will to be promoted to become a ‘genius’...

[When the merit of a force reaches more than 1,000, you can open the "catastrophe treasure house" and redeem various rewards from it. If the merit does not increase by one level, the number of catastrophe points required for redemption will be reduced accordingly...]

A series of reminders appeared in Xia Tian's mind.

The dead "man-eating demon tree" catastrophized the creatures, leaving behind a piece of black wood and beads of various shapes and colors.

[Demonized·Millennium Willow Heart (Silver)]

【Type】Exotic treasure

【Characteristics】Inheritance, Demonization

[Explanation] Integrating into tree-like vegetation, or among some alien races, can allow it to break through the extraordinary level. It is also an excellent material for refining machine beasts or extraordinary elixirs.

[Remarks] Note that this treasure retains the power of the rules of the abyss world. After use, there is a certain chance that it will be "demonized" and become an abyss creature!

As expected, high-level catastrophe creatures can explode "exotic treasures" that can allow people to inherit their power.

And, it has some "side effects" just like before.

However, for Bai Yujing, it is not a big problem.

With Hua Tuo's medical skills and magical powers, he could pull out the demonic energy even after he was transformed into a demon.

Regardless of the "Casting Hall" where Ganjiang and Mo Xie are located, and the "Organization Hall" where Gongshu and the Mo family are located, they are all very handy at handling this kind of thing!

There is another option for Xia Tian, ​​which is to directly throw it into the "Jiangshan Battle Map" to improve his own natal rare items.

However, he is now stuck in a "bottleneck" state, and there is no need to simply expand the "Jiangshan Battle Map" for the time being.

In contrast, the beads of several different forms such as "catastrophe, wish power, luck, merit" left behind by these catastrophic creatures are more eye-catching!

In particular, this catastrophic creature has devoured a lot of eternal creatures, so that the "merit" obtained after killing him is much higher than those catastrophic creatures that Xia Tian encountered before!

According to the information in his mind, this merit is not as important as the "catastrophic treasure". (End of chapter)
