Twilight Boundary

"Why is it so fierce?"

The one who exclaimed was Erguotou. Although he was not in the army, he knew a lot of different techniques. When Leng Buding saw this scene, he was completely unexpected.

Seeing the burning sweet potatoes, he did not dare to turn back and escaped from the Tiger Pass. He first picked up the girl who had just made a great contribution, and when he looked back, he saw the Futu Army coming out of the city.

One after another, including humans and horses, they were all covered in armor. Blood splattered under the horses' hooves, as if they were stepping on a sea of ​​blood. And the God-given King in the middle had blood flowing out from time to time through the gaps in the armor. .

It was as if this blood, with him as the center, connected the entire Pagoda Army together.

Seeing this group of people rushing forward through the sea of ​​blood, rushing to the front, the two 500-man vanguard units guarded by the three allied forces were swallowed up in an instant, as if they didn't even scream. It became silent.

Erguotou was also very anxious, and waved several altar flags to stop the footsteps of this ghostly army, but it had no effect, and the army continued to press forward.

"What the hell..."

He was shocked by this strange change and hurriedly recalled an altar flag to take a look. He saw that the altar flag had no more precious light left, and there was only a thick smell of blood on it.

It seems that the above law has been broken.

In secret shock, he looked up and saw that the Futu Army was charging ahead and met an army that was also riding a tall horse and was covered in purple armor, and they immediately started fighting.

It was clearly the 10,000 grain-guaranteing troops who had been tempered in the capital city. The two sides did not even answer and fought together.

There was also the sound of drums and gongs on both sides, but it was the White Armor Army and the Iron Sill Army who came over to kill them. In the dark night, they surrounded the Futu Army and killed them randomly.

The grain protection army is naturally elite, and the white armor army and the iron threshold army also have their own unique skills.

The white-armored army was wearing paper armor and recited a curse. The paper armor was as strong as iron armor, but not as heavy as iron armor and easy to replace. It was a clever trick.

The Iron Threshold Army, on the other hand, each holds a large shield. The shield is also refined by the magic in the doorway. It is made of the dark wood in the mountains. As long as it is erected on the ground, it will take root in the ground and be difficult to shake. He is best at fighting blocking battles.

Unexpectedly, the three armies met the Futu Army, and in an instant, they were on the verge of defeat.

The number of the Pagoda Army was thirty thousand, but when the three armies joined forces, they numbered nearly one hundred thousand. The elites who came to this battlefield alone numbered more than thirty thousand. Logically speaking, the numbers were not bad, and both sides were evenly matched.

But the pagoda army's blood energy was overwhelming. Facing the blood energy, the paper armor on the white armor army was suddenly knocked back to its original shape. It was unable to block the sword at all, and it was like fighting with nothing.

The big shield in the hands of the Tiejian Army actually lost its effect. Facing the bloody swords and spears of the Buddha Army, it cracked like rotten wood.

If it weren't for the 10,000 elite grain-protecting troops who blocked the pagoda army from the front and blocked the oncoming attack, the main force of the three allied forces would have seemed like they would be wasted and dispersed.

But seeing the food security army and Futu charging at each other in the night, corpses from both sides fell down one after another under the sword, and were trampled to pulp. Erguotou's eyes widened suddenly, and his heart was filled with pity. .

He knows how the elites of the grain protection army came to be, and he has some friendship with them.

Among the 10,000 elites of the Food Protection Army, one of them died and one of them was missing. He could not replenish them even if he wanted to, so how could he not feel distressed?

When he took a closer look, suddenly, his eyes widened, and he couldn't help but cursed: "Fuck, this..."

I originally felt sorry for the casualties of the Food Guard Army, but unexpectedly I saw an even weirder scene when I looked at it. I saw a member of the Food Guard Army and a member of the Buddha Army piercing each other's bodies with their spears at the same time. They all fell off their high horses.

The food guard fell to the ground and was dead, but after one of the pagoda soldiers fell to the ground, the blood on the ground continued to seep into the armor.

After a while, he actually stood up again as if nothing had happened. Even after he got off his mount, he stood up too, and together with other soldiers and horses, they rushed towards the grain protection army who was fighting tenaciously in front.

"Immortal?"

This made him even a little stunned, and immediately his scalp felt slightly numb: "Then how can we fight?"

The Food Guards themselves are elites who are as good as gold. Even exchanging one with the other party is heartbreaking enough. Who would have expected that the other party can actually come back from the dead, which is even more unbearable.

"The Blood Pagoda is extremely vicious, extremely filthy, extremely evil and extremely poisonous. It destroys all laws and pollutes all treasures."

At this time, Hu Ma's voice rang from beside him: "These soldiers and horses are made from the blood-stained pool water from the Eight Scenic Spots of Underworld."

"Blood pool?"

Erguotou also felt horrified: "Isn't that something from the underworld?"

"This is exactly what the Li family has set down for us."

Hu Ma also lowered his head and looked up at the battle formation. From a distance, he could see that of the three allied forces, only the food security army and a few generals keeping the year old could stop them. All the generals were already running around in panic. , but a military advisor came out from behind.

While shouting for the food protection army to retreat slowly, he had already cast a spell, but suddenly there was a rumble on the ground, an iron coffin broke through the ground, and a vicious thing inside jumped out of the coffin.

It was General Yin.

After talking to the old lady of the Li family just now, Hu Ma realized that the Buddha Army was probably more evil than she thought, so she went to see him first and temporarily lent General Yin to the Food Protection Army to cope with the change. Then he came back here to see Erguotou.

General Yin appeared, and a rolling Yin wind blew against the ground. In the quiet turbulence, tens of thousands of Yin soldiers wore armor and carried guns, and went to slaughter Xuefu. They just helped the food protection army to stop the decline.

Then he let out a deep breath and said, "No one knows what tricks the Li family did on this bloody pool, and how they brought this thing into the world."

"But let alone these soldiers and horses, even if we accidentally encounter this thing, we will suffer big losses!"

"Brother, you often visit the underworld. Do you know this, one of the eight sights of the underworld?"

The old lady from the Li family seemed to be easy to talk to, and she also guaranteed the outcome of the bet, but as she got older, she didn't reveal a single key word.

How to defeat this pagoda army and how to deal with the pool of blood on this pagoda army needs to be figured out by the attacker.

"I don't understand."

Seeing that the food security army had received help, Erguotou breathed a sigh of relief. He shook his head and said, "When we enter the underworld, we usually don't go so deep. When I followed you into the City of Wasted Death, it was the deepest I've ever entered into the underworld." Once, usually I just go around the gate of hell.”

"Although the bridges are all transcendental, the doorways are different and the things they come into contact with are different. The reincarnated person will get closer to Tai Sui. The bridge of the ghost gate leads to the Netherworld Palace on that side. The Meng family is approaching them. Our ancestors..."

"Only the Soul Torture sect, or even people from the Li family, will get closer to this bloody pool and know the magical effects of this scene."

"And not only did they approach, they also blocked other people, for fear that others would see or know about it. Of course, the ten surnames all have this virtue..."

"...Except the Hu family!"

"..."

"This is probably where the ten surnames have their confidence."

Hu Ma let out a low sigh: "The Li family's chance of winning this bet lies in their understanding of the Bloody Pond far beyond anyone else's. This is their ability to keep the bottom line."

"But we have to resolve the crisis of the alliance between the three armies first. We will talk about the rest after the people we are waiting for arrive!"

As he spoke, he did not move his attention away. With the help of General Yin, the food security army was obviously much lighter. However, the Blood Pagoda also became more and more courageous in the battle, and it was still killing them with great success.

The Blood Pagoda can pollute all dharma, and it is full of evil energy. It is a relief for General Yin to be able to play a role.

The only pity is that he killed too lightly, and there were only less than 60,000 Yin soldiers in General Yin's body. He was far away from the millions of Yin soldiers, and he was far from invincible.

The correct way to use General Yin is to ignore Yin and Yang. When Yin soldiers pass by, living people within a radius of hundreds or even thousands of miles will follow General Yin in their dreams and kill the enemy to win. Of course, what will be their fate after the war? Then forget it.

This method has not been used by Hu Ma so far. He just collected a little here and a little there, and used it reluctantly.

To a certain extent, the path chosen by Hu Ma and the principles of Xin have destined him to not be able to make good use of Yin weapons such as General Yin.

"I...I'm coming..."

Just as he was thinking about it, the old abacus next to him ran out panting, with a chicken coop on his shoulders. He almost collapsed from exhaustion, put the chicken coop down, and grabbed a big rooster from it.

Then, he kowtowed to the big rooster: "Grandpa, it's up to you..."

The big rooster was stolen from the supply camp of the Food Protection Army. It had been locked up for two days and had long since wilted. It stared and did not respond.

Lao Abacus didn't hesitate, and kowtowed twice with his head. The rooster seemed to have sensed it. He looked up at the dark sky, suddenly his chest straightened, and a very loud cry came from his neck.

The crow of the rooster actually suppressed the dark wind in the night, and the sky and the earth were vaguely clear.

However, there is still a line of blood on the eastern skyline, pressing on the horizon, and the sun is missing. The dark wind that has just dispersed around seems to have a vague tendency to gather again.

Hu Ma had already understood what Old Abacus was doing. Seeing that the rooster had begun to crow for the second time, Hu Ma also condensed his soul light, showing the three-headed and six-armed Dharma form. He turned his head and looked towards the east, holding the Suppressing Strike. The golden mace was smashed down hard.

Bang!

It's like cracking an egg.

The horizon that was suppressed by the blood line in the east suddenly exploded, and an egg-yolk-like rising sun showed its head. The dark night had become much thinner.

"General, it's dawn!"

And at the same time, in the battlefield, the Blood Pagoda overwhelmed the three armies, and the blood was flowing. However, at this moment, when the chicken crow was heard, and facing the dawn of the east, the Blood Pagoda's offensive slowed down. He came down, slowly regained his momentum, and returned to the Tiger Pass.

On the opposite side, General Yin also noticed that the yang energy between heaven and earth was rising sharply, so he jumped back into the coffin. The lid of the coffin sealed itself, and Hu Ma then raised his hand and took back the general order from the military advisor Tiezuizi. The food security army also suffered a lot of casualties and did not dare to pursue them. They just rested quickly and treated the wounded.

"How did you know this method?"

Hu Ma looked towards Old Abacus, and saw that Old Abacus had just gotten up from the ground, patted the soil on his knees, pointed casually, and said: "It's not me this time, it's her."

Hu Ma was surprised and saw that what Lao Abacus was pointing at was actually Miss Wu He.

"Brother Hu, the Li Family Blood Pagoda only fights at night, because at night, you can invite the water from the Bloody Pond to bless it, which can be extremely vicious and poisonous, destroying people's lives and blessings."

"Destined or not, it's equally difficult to survive if you encounter them."

Miss Wu He has not left since she helped the Zhao family deliver the letter. At this moment, she was carrying a basin with a towel on it. Seeing that Hu Ma had finished her work, she came forward and put the towel dipped in water. Hand it to him:

"But as soon as daybreak comes, the blood on them disappears, and they are no longer protected by the bloody pool."

Hu Ma knew that the Zhao family wanted to deliver a message to her through her, and she frowned slightly when she heard this: "In the daytime, will this pagoda army become ordinary people?"

"No."

Wu He shook his head, lowered his voice slightly, and said, "The young master of the Zhao family said that he can't reveal the details of the Li family, but you can tell at a glance."

"look?"

Hu Ma was slightly surprised and had some thoughts in her mind. After waiting for a short time, she saw a disciple who did not eat cattle come to him carrying a wooden frame. He saw that the armor on his body was a member of the Buddha Army.

There are a group of capable people in the food protection army who can help. Although they cannot resist the Blood Pagoda, as long as they have the idea, it is not difficult to secretly capture one or two of them on one side of the battlefield. This is what Hu Ma sent to the general. At the right time, he gave instructions to them.

After asking them to put the man down, Hu Ma reached out and tore off the armor of the pagoda soldier. He glanced at it, but his expression changed slightly.

He asked Fu Niu to capture a soldier of the Futu Army alive to see what kind of skills the Blood Pagoda soaked in the bloody pool had. Naturally, he wanted to capture a living person, but unexpectedly, the person under the armor was a dead person.

But after just one more glance, Hu Ma suddenly realized that this was not because the Niu-eating disciple had failed to do his job well.

The person under the armor has pale skin, dull eyes, and even a bit of putrid smell on his body. Several traces of silk stitches can even be seen on his arms, chest, etc.

The stitches are thick, rather like the needles and threads used to sew wounds on cows and horses.

This is not only a dead person, but also a person who has been dead for a long time.

He suddenly understood Zhao Sanyi's intention of reminding him, turned to Miss Wu He and said, "What else did he ask you to tell me?"

"There's nothing else!"

Wu He was afraid of missing a word, so he thought carefully and said, "I just want to remind you that at night, no one can be the opponent of Blood Pagoda."

Hearing this, Hu Ma already understood. With a deep gaze, he looked at Menghu Pass and whispered: "So, the food security army last night was actually fighting a group of dead people?"

Erguotou listened and was slightly shocked: "How do you say this?"

Hu Ma lowered his head and glanced at the black-armored pagoda soldiers at his feet, and whispered: "It's not that the pagoda soldiers can't be killed, but because, except for the god-given king, the other soldiers and horses in this pagoda army are probably dead in the first place. It’s just that the ghost is sealed inside the body.”

"Because he is dead, he is not afraid of getting hurt, and because he is dead, he cannot see the sun."

"The only way to break through this fierce tiger barrier is to do it during the day."

His mind suddenly sank, and he whispered: "In Tiger Pass, there were originally a hundred thousand troops under the command of the God-given King, as well as countless civilians, but last night, they were all knocked or scared away by the tigers burning with sweet potatoes. Or entangled, it has become an empty barrier.”

Erguotou became excited when he heard this: "If that's the case, we immediately organize our troops and attack directly. Will we win this battle?"

Hu Ma nodded slowly and said: "In a battle of skills, the one with the best skills will win, and even the speculators will win."

"No matter what method is used, as long as it can kill the god-given king and destroy the pagoda army, the Wuchang Li family will bow to us and follow orders from now on."

Erguotou immediately became anxious after hearing this: "Zhao, what are you waiting for?"

Hu Ma did not stop them from delivering the letter to the Food Protection Army, but frowned, realizing that it might not be that simple.

Sure enough, the three-way allied forces heard the message delivered by the ghost messenger and knew that the Tiger Pass looked fierce but was actually empty. Moreover, the nightmare-like Pagoda Army was just like killing a chicken in the daytime, so they immediately regrouped and Prepare to tackle key problems.

But unexpectedly, just as they were regrouping, they could see banners gathering from behind the Tiger Pass in the distance. The empty city was also filled with soldiers and horses throughout the morning.

Moreover, I saw strange people from all walks of life dressed in brocade and robes appearing at the gate, looking out from a distance and observing the movements of the armies outside.

"An expert in the Soul Torture Sect has arrived."

Hu Ma let out a low sigh, not only looking at the soldiers and horses behind the fierce tiger gate, but also the Bu Niu disciples who were probing back and forth, passing on information, and knew the movements of this Quzhou land like the back of their hands.

"Wuchang Li made a promise, but they also pinned their hopes on this battle. How could they not know the weaknesses of the Futu Army?"

"Soldiers, horses, private armies, and capable people with twenty years of experience have all been transferred here."

"It's just that these various officials and government officials who are attached to the Li family are just wandering gods. How come the aristocratic families, private armies, and even the grassroots from all over Quzhou all rushed to this tiger after giving the order? "Guan Lai?"

"..."

There was a sense of absurdity and astonishment in his heart. This god-given king was cruel and cruel, and his reputation should have been very bad. However, in the vast land of Quzhou, he seemed to have a feeling that he could respond to everything.

Was this all done by the Li family for him?

Hu Ma didn't quite believe it, but when he saw the movement of the Tiger Gate, he understood in his heart that the three armies of the Food Protection Army, the Tiejian Army, and the Baijia Army had joined forces, and the momentum was quite large, but he wanted to take advantage of the Tiger Gate during the day. It can be said that it is extremely difficult.

And if the Blood Pagoda comes again at night, how can the three allied forces resist it for a whole night?

On the side of the three-way allied forces, seeing that they had some rest, they took advantage of the daylight to attack the city. Unexpectedly, the reinforcements from the other side came so fast, as if they were ghosts and gods. In the whole morning, they looked more powerful than before.

Then several pioneer officers tried it out, and immediately saw all kinds of capable people in Menghu Pass.

After a fight, except for Zhao Zhu's Crock Army, who had a small advantage when fighting against others, the others were actually superior to the others and could not gain the upper hand at all.

Time turned around, and it was almost dusk before we could see it. Invisible pressure also climbed back on the heads of the three allied generals.

"I didn't expect that the Li family would take action so early."

And while they were also watching the sun slide uncontrollably to the west, and everyone was feeling anxious and unbearable, a woman dressed like a peasant woman, with a red silk scarf wrapped around her head, led several companions. Came here.

It was Miss Red Wine: "But fortunately, Tieguanyin gave us guidance in Laoyin Mountain. I have been busy these days, and I can finally help."

Seeing her coming, Hu Ma also breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Senior Tieguanyin, have you expected this?"

"She didn't know who she would meet, but she reminded us when we met that going up the bridge is a good thing, but after getting on the bridge, instead of staring at Tai Sui, it is better to focus more on the Eight Scenic Spots of the Underworld."

Miss Red Wine had already made an appointment to meet Hu Ma in Quzhou, but the fight was scheduled to be held at Tiger Pass midway, so it was delayed for a day or two. Now that they finally met, each of them felt a little happy. .

However, she and Hu Ma were very familiar with each other, so there was no need to be polite.

After just saying hello, he entered the state. He glanced in the direction of the Tiger Pass, then stepped aside half of his body, and said to a man in a black robe behind him, "How about it?"

Hu Ma has also seen that man. He is the reincarnation of Anzhou, codenamed Burning Knife.

But I saw that he first glanced at the dead body of the Buddha Army on the ground, then squinted his eyes and looked at Menghu Pass, lifted his nose, and said with a smile: "It's an acquaintance."

"When I was favored by the Wuchang Li family and lent me to help them kill people in their dreams, I met the so-called God-given King."

"We are all traveling together. Since he can carry it, of course I can too."

"..."

When Hu Ma, Erguotou and others heard this, they all knew that Miss Red Wine had already had an idea in mind. They were all overjoyed and hurriedly invited her to sit down and gave her the tea that Miss Wu He had boiled in the mountains. Come up.

"It's a stupid way to attack Tiger Pass while it's daytime. I don't know how much energy it will take with the Li family's troops, so we go straight to Huanglong."

Miss Red Wine drank the tea and then spoke slowly: "In the final analysis, it is not a person, but an object soaked in the blood pool. If the authority is taken away, he is nothing."

"If you want to seize this authority, you have to find an executioner who has been invited to kill people in the Bloody Pond. It's a coincidence that our knife-burning brother has done errands in the Bloody Pond."

"so……"

She smiled and turned to Hu Ma: "Brother Lao Baigan, are you interested in walking into the underworld together to see what's at the end of the bridge?"

Hearing the words "Lao Baigan" that she specifically emphasized, Hu Ma calmed down and said with a smile, "Okay!"

When the old abacus next to him heard this, he was surprised and happy in his heart. He was happy because he had a clue, but he was shocked when he saw the situation. He looked to the west and saw that the sky was already dark. He said in a panic: "If you all go down, then here What should I do?”

"Just let them deal with it."

Miss Red Wine heard this, but she just smiled, her eyes fell deeply on Hu Ma's face, and said: "Do you really think that we are the only ones coming here?"
