The Counterattack of the Villains

Another half month passed, and preparations in all aspects were sufficient. The Southern Zhili army officially launched its troops in the name of "clearing the emperor's side and eliminating demons".

Zhu Youjian personally took command, with Fu Tianchou as the military advisor, Liu Shouming as the general, and Zuo Qianhu as the vanguard. He raised an army of 100,000 and marched north to the capital in a mighty manner.

There are a total of more than 2,000 people from the major sects of the righteous path, and more than 6,000 members of the Demon Slaying Division led by Li Muyan Chixia, who are the core force of this army.

Now both sides, good and evil, know very well that this war is no longer a war between humans. The key to victory or defeat lies between good and evil.

If the right path prevails, the world will be at peace.

If the devil prevails, all living beings will be in ruins.

The main function of Zhu Youjian's 100,000 troops was to maintain order after breaking into the capital, and they were not relied upon to fight.

Pudu Cihang no longer counted on the imperial army. Instead, he called on the old demon from Montenegro and other demons, ordered all the demons and monsters to attack the righteous coalition forces.

This seems to be an asymmetrical war at all. On the demonic side, there are more than 300,000 monster army, one million Yin soldiers, and 200,000 water army.

Among the more than 8,000 people in Zhengdao, only more than 3,000 are actually cultivators, and their cultivation and Taoism are still uneven. The rest are all from the martial arts world.

The true qi and powerful qi and blood of martial arts masters can also kill demons and ghosts, but their methods are not as rich as those of practitioners.

Just like Zuo Qianhu and Zhiqiu Yiye, if they were fighting in close quarters, Zhiqiu Yiye would be suppressed by Zuo Qianhu and beat him, and he wouldn't even have the chance to cast a spell.

But as long as you keep the distance and give Zhiqiu Yiye a chance to draw a talisman and cast a spell, you can defeat Zuo Qianhu with just one immobilization spell.

This is like the relationship between a mage and a warrior. Therefore, warriors cannot deal with big monsters with vast magical powers, but they can also be used to deal with ordinary monsters and ghosts who do not know any magical powers.

The Demon Slayer Division actually accepted more than 8,000 people, with a total number of more than 20,000.

But for those ordinary warriors who had not developed their true qi and whose qi and blood were not strong enough, Li Mu did not let them participate in the battle.

Those more than 12,000 people will stay in Nandu. After the war between good and evil is over, they will be organized into a special army.

Armed with various magic weapons, and with some training, they can disperse in small teams to wipe out the remnants of demons and contribute the final wave of efforts to clarify the world.

The Zhongzhou team has not been idle in the past half month. They are using all resources and means to improve themselves.

First of all, from Zhiqiu Yiye, Li Mu taught him the Nanming Lihuo Jue, and at the same time he also learned the three major techniques of Escape from the Earth, Hold the Body, and Move Mountains from him.

Then he presented the Tongtian Ru to various sects, which not only greatly enhanced the power of the righteous path, but also exchanged a large number of practical spells.

Through Tongtianlu's favor and his relationship with Yan Chixia, Master Liuren generously came up with several secrets of the Shenxiao sect.

The Shenxiao sect thunder method that Li Mu valued most was also taught to him several times, and he gradually evolved in the direction of the "Thunder God" agreed with Zhang Qin.

For example, the "Lightning Thunder Fist", which combines martial arts and martial arts, left a deep impression on the Zhongzhou team members.

Uncle Jiu's elder brother Shi Jian was proficient in this boxing technique. He once used this boxing technique to beat Uncle Jiu to the point of running away. In the end, he had to gather the strength of everyone and relied on magic weapons to defeat Shi Jian.

In addition to the Lightning Thunder Fist, there is also a "Five Thunder Strike" spell, which is a spell that condenses the five elements of divine thunder to bombard the opponent. Although it is a single attack, it is quite powerful.

The most powerful thunder technique that Li Mu learned was a spell called "Rapid Lightning and Crazy Thunder".

This move has a bit of a flavor of Ten Thousand Sword Techniques. It can turn the imaginary into reality, use thunder and lightning to condense countless thunder spears, thunder swords or thunder arrows, and launch a large-scale attack on the enemy like a volley of ten thousand arrows.

What form the thunder and lightning is transformed into depends entirely on the preference of the person who performs the spell, but the power is the same anyway.

The power of this technique is only inferior to the Shenxiao Sect's ultimate thunder technique, "Thunder and Thunder".

If Tongtian Ru was not of such great significance to the Dao Sect Fu Ru Sect and could almost become the highest suppressing sect technique, Master Liuren would not be so generous.

In just half a month, not only the overall combat strength of the Zhongzhou team has greatly increased, but the combat strength of Zhengdao has also improved a lot.

With the Tongtian Rui, they no longer have to worry about running out of the spiritual talismans they carry with them.

The talisman relies on its own runes to communicate and condense the power of heaven and earth, rather than relying on the output of spiritual power to exert its power.

Tongtianlu only needs to output a small amount of spiritual power to form spiritual power lines and outline runes, so the consumption of spiritual power is extremely small.

For those with higher cultivation levels, the spiritual energy they consume may not be recovered as fast as their own.

With this skill, they are equivalent to having unlimited battery life, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are invincible at the same level.

Because as long as you cannot kill your opponent quickly and engage in a war of attrition, your only result will be to be consumed to death by your opponent.

…

The soldiers and horses of various capitals in the Ming Dynasty have all stopped marching and are waiting for the outcome of the battle between good and evil.

After the 300,000 monster army led by Pudu Cihang arrived at the Yellow River in Jinan Prefecture, they stopped moving forward and instead camped on the spot to prepare for the arrival of the right way.

But because of this, the people of Jinan Prefecture were devastated and became the food of the demons one after another.

As the capital of Shandong Chengxuan Government Envoy, Jinan Prefecture has a population of more than 7.4 million, but in a short period of time, the demons devoured all the houses and left bones everywhere.

When the spies from the Demon Slayer Division brought this information back, everyone from top to bottom was furious.

Zhu Youjian ordered to speed up the march, and the Fulu sect produced a large number of "magic talismans" for use by the officers and soldiers.

As a result, it was more than 1,300 miles from Yingtian Mansion to Jinan Mansion. The journey that originally took half a month was completed by the army in less than ten days.

The righteous army was camped outside Licheng County, nearly thirty miles away from the Yellow River, and the demon army was stationed on the other side of the Yellow River, obviously with the intention of defending against the natural dangers of the Yellow River.

The Yellow River in the Jinan Prefecture section is nearly 40 feet wide at its narrowest point, and more than 160 feet wide at its widest point.

When the demon army arrived, all the ships upstream and downstream were destroyed.

But this is not a problem for the Southern Zhili army. They can build pontoons and cut down trees and build ships.

Even Buddhism and Taoism have many ways to build a bridge on the river.

But no matter which method you use to cross the river, you will be attacked by the demon army halfway across the river, and you will inevitably suffer heavy casualties.

Therefore, after arriving here, Li Mu was in no hurry to launch an attack. After all, not all members of the Demon Slayer Division had the ability to ride on waves.

Even if there are a small number of people who have the light skill of "water floating", they can only cross the water surface of more than ten or twenty feet at most. The width of more than forty feet is really too difficult for them.

Therefore, Li Mu would not attack rashly before finding a plan to cross the river safely.

Experts with spiritual consciousness have all used their spiritual consciousness to detect demon camps, but in vain.

Because the demon camp is shrouded in a force similar to a spiritual barrier, spiritual consciousness cannot penetrate at all.

Of course, the same is true on the righteous side. The camp is protected by a Taoist array and can also be isolated from detection.

…

In the evening, in the main tent of the Zhengdao camp, all the leaders of each faction were present.

Zhu Youjian, who was wearing a helmet and shaking armor, said to Li Mu worriedly: "National Master, now the people north of the Yellow River are all under the blood of demons."

"Every extra day we spend here, we will be eaten by monsters a lot. We must not delay this battle, but is there any way to cross the river?"

Li Mu thought for a moment and said sternly: "It is absolutely not advisable to cross the river by force. According to my wishes, let's concentrate our top combat power and cross the river first to fight the devil."

"As long as the demons are dealt with, those little monsters will not be a threat at all. Their numbers are meaningless in front of me, the righteous monks."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Tianchou said hesitantly: "All the top combat forces of the righteous path are dispatched. If the demon mobilizes some masters to avoid you and attack the camp, then..."

Li Mu smiled and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Fu, I will leave the strength to guard the camp, and I won't let the monsters take advantage of the loophole."

】

Fu Tianchou nodded and said, "It's good that the Imperial Master has made arrangements."

"Crack...boom..."

At this moment, there was sudden lightning and thunder in the sky, and the sudden strong wind made the tent rattle and sway from east to west.

The expressions of all the leaders present changed, their eyes turned to the north, and their spiritual consciousness immediately reached out.

Zhu Youjian said in surprise: "What's going on? The sky is clear today. Zhang Tianshi also said before that there will be no rain in half a month. How could there be a sudden thunder?"

It was a hot summer day, and there was not much rain. Zhang Guoxiang calculated that there would be no rainy days in the near future, which was very suitable for marching. Only then did Zhu Youjian start his troops.

This sudden thunder and lightning is obviously abnormal.

Li Mu said in a deep voice: "It's the demons who are making a move. No wonder they chose the Yellow River to station themselves. It turns out that there is a big water demon among them."

Zheng Zha suddenly opened his mouth and asked Master Bachi beside him: "Senior Sister, do you feel that this evil spirit is familiar to you?"

Lord Bachi nodded and said slowly: "It's very familiar. The demonic energy we sensed in Changzhou is this one."

Fu Tianchou's face darkened when he heard this, and he said, "What Master Zheng and Fairy Bai mean is that the one who controls the wind and rain here is the water monster that caused the floods in the south of the Yangtze River?"

Zheng Zha is now the Commander-in-Chief of the Demon Slaying Division, a serious second-rank official, so Fu Tianchou calls him Lord Zheng.

Lord Bachi affirmed: "That's it. Everyone needs to be careful. This water demon is likely to use the water of the Yellow River to flood the Seventh Army."

"He is calling the wind and rain at this moment, obviously because he wants to increase the power of the magic."

While she was talking, heavy raindrops had already fallen, hitting the tent with a loud splash, and it turned into a downpour in a matter of seconds.

With this intensity of rainfall, it only takes a few hours for the Yellow River to flood.

Li Mu snorted coldly and said: "This monster caused floods in the south of the Yangtze River and killed countless people. Now it dares to come and make enemies of us. It's time to settle old and new scores together."

After saying this, he stood up and looked at Zhang Qin and said: "Junior sister, you cast a spell to disperse the rain clouds and break the opponent's evil spell."

"Okay." Zhang Qin responded and went out to the outside together with Li Mu.

Seeing this, the others stood up and followed, wanting to see what Zhang Qin was capable of and how he could break such a magic spell.

Based on the scope of this rain cloud and the intensity of the rainfall, they could roughly deduce that this should be the work of a great demon who transformed into a god.

No one among the people present dared to say that he was sure of dispersing it. It wasn't that he didn't have such means, but that he didn't have the cultivation level.

However, looking at Zhang Qin's appearance, he looked confident, which made them very curious.

Zhu Youjian and Fu Tianqiu were secretly excited. They had known before that Zhang Qin was proficient in controlling weather changes and could ensure smooth weather in the Ming Dynasty.

Today, they were able to see with their own eyes how powerful the wife of the head of the Emei Sect really was.

When I opened the door curtain, I saw that it was already dark outside due to dark clouds and heavy rain.

Zhang Qin stepped into the rain without hesitation, but not a drop of water touched her body.

Because when the rain falls three feet above her head, it will separate to the side on its own.

The strange thing is that everyone did not sense any spiritual power fluctuations, which surprised them and puzzled them at the same time.

Since the opponent did not cast a spell, how did he make the rain curtain separate on its own?

The door curtain was narrow and there was no room for everyone to stand. In order to see Zhang Qin's actions clearly, all the high cultivators deployed their body-protecting spiritual powers and stepped out of the tent into the rain.

Zheng Zha, who had the highest level of cultivation, also put up a large spiritual shield over the heads of Zhu Youjian, Fu Tianchou, Liu Shouming, Zuo Qianhu and others to protect them from the rain.

This surprised all the high-ranking cultivators, because they sensed that the aura emanating from Zheng Zha's body was clearly the aura of a major cultivator of spiritual transformation.

Although none of them have reached such a state, there are many people present who are in the Nascent Soul stage.

Normally they can't see other people's cultivation level, but once they take action and actively reveal their aura, they can see it.

Zheng Zha's aura was much stronger than theirs, and there was a qualitative difference, so they could naturally deduce Zheng Zha's realm.

It seems that this Emei sect is indeed well-known for its reputation. Unexpectedly, there is actually a major cultivator of transformation gods in its sect.

Moreover, this man is also the master's junior brother, younger than the master, which shows how terrifying his talent is.

After Zhang Qin walked to the open space in front of the Chinese army's tent, he turned around and looked at Li Mu.

Li Mu nodded to her, Zhang Qin immediately opened his arms, and a whirlwind blew out of thin air around him.

Due to the heavy rain, it looked like a waterspout appeared in the field, which was quite spectacular.

The next moment, everyone was surprised to find that Zhang Qin's eyes were filled with white light, but they still did not sense the fluctuation of spiritual power.

The white light became brighter and brighter, until it covered all the dark eyes, leaving only a blazing white color in her eyes, making everyone present unaware.

The next moment, she looked up at the sky, her skirt was flying, and the whirlwind was carrying her high into the sky.

"Crack...boom..."

As she got higher and higher, there were not only whirlwinds around her, but also many electric snakes flashing and jumping around her, and the sound of thunder could not be heard.

The thick dark clouds in the sky began to roll violently, the dark ink color quickly became dull, and the heavy rain gradually became lighter visible to the naked eye.

The high cultivators could not understand all this at all. Master Liu Ren asked Li Mu in confusion: "Master, what exactly is this method, Madam? Why can you disperse the rain clouds without using any magic power?"

Li Mu looked up at Zhang Qin and said with a smile: "This is her innate magical power, not a magic spell. Naturally, there is no need to consume mana."

Hearing the words "genius and supernatural power", all the high-ranking cultivators were suddenly enlightened and at the same time secretly shocked.

For human beings, there is such a thing as innate supernatural powers, let alone one in ten thousand, even one in tens of millions may not be able to come out.

This ability usually only appears in demons and certain innate creatures, but once it appears in humans, there is only one possibility.

That is this person, the reincarnation of a certain immortal god.

Just listen to Li Mu continue: "Back then, my master vomited three mouthfuls of essence and blood in order to calculate her origin. The final result was that Junior Sister was probably the reincarnation of the 'Dian Mother'."

"hiss"

The sound of gasping for air sounded one after another in the venue.
