When a person is in a difficult situation that he cannot solve by himself, he will sincerely hope that others will help him.
And when he discovers that the dilemma he faces is a dead end and cannot be solved by relying solely on human strength, he will fall into the most extreme fear and despair.
At this time, people's hearts will show a special state, that is, they are looking forward to the help of gods and Buddhas all over the sky.
Therefore, once a disaster occurs in the world, it will also be the moment when the church develops most rapidly.
Because the emptier a person's heart is and the less secure they are, the more they want something to put their soul on.
At this moment, twenty-eight cities in the Suzaku Kingdom were mercilessly ravaged by the poisonous fire of the Blood Flame Dragon.
Countless buildings were burned by the purple poisonous flames, and countless lives were reduced to ashes in the flames.
The remaining people in each city are facing natural disasters but are unable to stop them. When they hear the voice in their ears and in their hearts, a trace of hope in despair is born from the bottom of their hearts.
Countless people knelt down and joined hands to sincerely pray:
"Nan Ming Suzaku, everything is on fire!"
"Nan Ming Suzaku, everything is on fire!"
A trace of faith and will emanated from everyone along with the people's prayers.
But this wish contains the mood of the people at the moment, which is full of fear, despair, hope, anger and other complex emotions.
And since there are only words of blessing and no object of sustenance, these scattered and mixed beliefs and wishes cannot be stored in the world at all.
At the same time, Zhang Ke, based on the locations of the twenty-eight cities that were ravaged by the Blood Flame Dragon, took the 'Flame Bay City' as the core and used the Bagua array in the Suzaku Hall to activate the power of the leyline nodes of many cities.
Looking down from a high altitude, first of all, streaks of gold and red light burst into the sky surrounding twenty-eight cities.
Then, taking these twenty-eight cities as nodes, the five hundred and twelve cities around them successively erupted with golden-red light.
Lines of fire appeared out of thin air between these 512 cities and the 28 key node cities.
With the twenty-eight cities under attack as the core, each seven cities corresponding to the stars in the void manifested themselves into 'Jing Mu'an, Ghost Golden Sheep, Liutu Deer, Xingri Horse, Zhang Yuelu, Winged Fire Snake, and Zhen Shui Earthworm.
'The shape of the seven constellations in the south.
The twenty-eight cities in the seven places in the south are connected end to end, with lines of fire crisscrossing the void, outlining the phantom of a thousands-mile-sized red bird with fluttering wings.
But the Suzaku shadow is very dim, and its eyes are always closed.
After its manifestation, countless people's scattered beliefs and aspirations suddenly found sustenance.
In Zhang Ke's eyes, he could see countless threads of faith and willpower instantly hanging down, stretched, and pulled into the Suzaku shadow in the sky.
Nourished by the endless power of faith and will, the phantom of Suzaku quickly became real.
At this moment, the Suzaku statue under Zhang Ke's feet disintegrated silently, turning into endless tiny sparks rising into the sky.
After a while, countless sparks gathered together and formed a flaming red bird about ten feet in size.
It was like a jumping flame spirit that circled around Zhang Ke twice, sending a trace of nostalgia into Zhang Ke's heart.
But before Zhang Ke could react, the Flame Suzaku spread its wings and soared into the sky, turning into a line of fire and flying towards the west.
…
Thirty-six blood flame dragons each rolled in the blood cloud, shaking the red gauze-like cloud and pressing downwards.
The clear air rises and the turbid air descends!
This is the operating law of the natural laws of heaven and earth.
Since the clouds come from the nine heavens, it means that they are a substance that is lighter than normal air.
Therefore, the more you press down, the harder and slower it becomes under the influence of gravity.
The blood cloud was obviously only a hundred feet away from the ground, but a quarter of an hour later, it was still more than twenty feet away from the ground.
But this distance only applies to the ground in the city. Places such as the Suzaku Hall that protrude from the ground are already covered by blood clouds.
Endless blood-colored breath drifted around like mist, and was inhaled by numerous people, livestock, birds and other creatures.
Soon, the exposed skin of the creatures that inhaled the poisonous miasma of the blood cloud became congested, and they breathed heavily, but could not inhale any air.
After a few breaths, these creatures suffocated to death due to the viscosity of their blood, which blocked their blood vessels. Pieces of corpses were scattered all over the cities.
High in the air.
A flaming Suzaku flew through with a line of fire, its speed exceeded the sound, and due to the power of Nanming Lihuo burst out, strings of holes like smoke rings were burned into the void wherever it passed.
Soon, the Flame Vermilion Bird flew over the 'Flame Bay City'.
This is the core location for the manifestation of the Four-Elephant Suzaku Array, and she needs to integrate the array here.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to kill thirty-six blood flame dragons in a short period of time.
When the flaming Suzaku arrived in the sky above the capital, he didn't hesitate for a moment, flew down and blended into the eyebrows of the phantom Suzaku.
"boom--!"
As a loud explosion sounded, the phantom of the Suzaku with a wingspan of a thousand miles suddenly burst out into raging, steaming, rolling golden-red flames.
Suzaku Xuying's eyes that had been closed suddenly opened, and a pair of spiritual eyes turned slightly, looking at the blood cloud just above his head.
"唳——!"
A clear and clear chirp sounded, and countless people looked up into the sky in unison.
A thousand-mile-sized flaming red bird spread its wings and soared into the sky.
The golden roof has a swallow's jaw, a phoenix-feathered body with fire, a comb-feathered feathered green tail, and a carved eaves with flowers and shadows in gold.
A halo of gold and red flames enveloped the top of his head, the vitality of the heaven and earth shook violently, and clouds of fire surged around Suzaku.
The blood flame dragon flew through the sky before, and naturally there were people in the city below who witnessed it with their own eyes.
When they launched their attacks and wreaked havoc on the twenty-eight cities, some people with special magical powers witnessed it all with their own eyes.
Everyone is worried that the Blood Flame Dragon will turn to attack his own city after attacking other cities.
And this is not an unfounded worry. In Jiuluo's plan, if the Suzaku Kingdom has no way to use the Blood Flame Dragon, after attacking the twenty-eight most important cities, it will then turn to attack its adjacent cities.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The purpose is to take the opportunity to cause maximum damage to the Suzaku Kingdom.
Therefore, after hearing the whispers in their ears, in addition to the 28 cities under attack, most of the people in the 512 cities in the radius and the more than 2,000 surrounding cities and fortresses also began to pray.
When the thousand-mile-sized Suzaku phantom appeared in the sky, the people who prayed became more and more devout, and their beliefs and wishes merged into the Suzaku phantom like silk.
In addition, even if they are not in the many city fortresses established by the Earth Second Node, there are still faint golden-red rays of light rushing upward.
After these rays of light merge into the Suzaku Shadow, they spread out like its feathers, turning into clouds of gold and red fire that fill the sky to provide vitality and energy to the Suzaku Shadow.
Gathering the ‘Suzaku True Form Formation’ is Zhang Ke’s real purpose of ‘building a castle and advancing slowly’.
This is also inspired by ‘join forces and gather strength’.
It's not just soldiers who can gather people into formations. As formation masters, they are best at using the right time and place to set up formations.
In Zhang Ke's idea, the more cities are built, the more powerful the "Suzaku True Form Formation" formed by condensing the terrain will be.
If the Suzaku Kingdom can build a large enough city in the future, it will be able to directly kill all opponents by simply activating the large formation.
However, this formation also has some drawbacks. If you want to exert its maximum power, you must have enough cities and fortresses and a large amount of faith and willpower.
Under normal circumstances, this formation is difficult to activate. After all, faith can only be recognized by people in times of crisis.
Especially after each activation, it can only attack once at most, and it will also cause damage to the ley lines.
Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, even if everything is ready, this array cannot be activated easily.
Today, Zhang Ke felt Wanxiang's determined mood, so he ignored decades of accumulation and took the opportunity to help him.
Supported by the power of more than two thousand cities and the faith and will of hundreds of millions of people, the Suzaku shadow has become solid in the blink of an eye.
As the Suzaku phantom let out a soft cry that shook the sky, its wings spread outwards, and the golden-red flames around its body spread rapidly outwards.
One thousand five hundred miles...
Two thousand miles...
Three thousand miles...
The mighty golden-red fire cloud quickly spreads outwards, oscillates, and spreads like a surging tide.
Within a few breaths, the thousand-mile-sized Suzaku shadow had expanded to a size of three thousand miles.
Looking from below, the sky turned into a golden-red color in an instant, and even at the end of the line of sight, only golden-red firelight was flashing.
At this moment, heaven and earth were separated by a layer of golden-red flames.
The shadow it casts in the sunlight covers all the 3112 large and small cities and fortresses in the Suzaku Kingdom below.
In order to prevent the descent of the 'Blood Cloud Poison Miasma', the height of Suzaku's manifestation was only twenty feet above the ground.
Because it was too close to the ground, people could not see the true form of the three-thousand-mile-large Suzaku. In their eyes, they could only see the golden-red flame above their heads that completely covered the sky.
The boundless flames that rolled like the sea and swayed like clouds brought great impact to the vision and soul of hundreds of millions of people in the Suzaku Kingdom.
Even decades later, when some people talk about this incident, they still can't help but show longing and shock.
At this moment, the poisonous fire burning close at hand was forgotten by everyone, and they just stared blankly above their heads.
Above the ancestral land, Zhang Ke stood suspended in the air, quietly watching the phantom of the Suzaku in the distance.
After a moment, the phantom wings of Suzaku were seen first flying upwards, and then downwards, and the sky was filled with golden and red flames.
In his sight, the golden-crested and swallow-jawed Suzaku crown appeared from the clouds embodied by golden and red flames as if poking its head out of the water, followed by the phoenix-feathered fire body, and the Suzaku body with twelve golden and red feathers floating around.
It also rises from the clouds of golden-red flames.
Finally, the golden red flames all over the sky turned into a cloud of fire with tail wings scattered and rolled up like a peacock's tail.
At this moment, the vitality of heaven and earth within a radius of thousands of miles was completely transformed into the attribute of fire.
In contrast, the thirty-six blood flame dragons were like a few bugs in front of a rooster in front of the Suzaku phantom rushing upwards.
The Suzaku phantom rushed straight up into the sky, rushing past the location of the thirty-six Blood Flame Dragons without any pause.
In an instant, the thirty-six blood flame dragons were swallowed up by the golden red flames that filled the sky, and were reduced to ashes by Nan Mingli's fire without even letting out a scream.
The veil-like mist-like ‘blood cloud poison miasma’ that was about to cover twenty-eight cities was also burned clean in an instant.
Seeing this scene in front of him, even Zhang Ke, who had always considered himself well-informed, felt his heart tremble and couldn't control himself.
If Wanxiang was not injured, it would not be difficult to kill thirty-six blood flame dragons, but it would never be so easy.
Now there is only one true spirit left, but with the help of terrain formation, all of them can be wiped out with just one blow.
Zhang Ke even suspected that even Dao Lord might not dare to attack him directly.
The general trend of heaven and earth reveals unparalleled power at this moment.
The Suzaku phantom destroyed the Blood Flame Dragon with one blow. Its mighty momentum did not stop, but continued to rush upward with even faster and tougher momentum.
Zhang Ke's eyes flashed, and he realized that the target of Suzaku's phantom was actually the swaying [Contract Flag] in the sky.
Zhang Ke's heart was shocked, and he quickly sent a message with his soul:
"Everything! No!"
As soon as this thought was sent out, a thought immediately returned to the Suzaku shadow.
‘…’
Feeling the meaning contained in this idea, Zhang Ke was stunned for a moment.
'Master! Look at everything and vent my anger on you!'
An extremely simple thought is like the whisper of everything in your ears.
'I see!'
The next second...
"Boom~!"
The blazing flames of gold and red rolled inward and gathered inward. In a few breaths, the three-thousand-mile-sized Suzaku shadow shrank to the size of a hundred feet.
The golden-red flames on its body quickly turned into blazing white, and an almost pure white Suzaku rushed upward toward the [Conformity Flag] without hesitation.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The [Contract Flag] in the air began to flash with golden light after the death of the thirty-six blood flame dragons.
The golden light flows on the sixteen golden seal characters, and millions of runes are restrained by the golden light and condensed together to form a golden flying cone.
And on the fluttering flag, there are two groups of spiritual lights flashing, one of which is cyan, and gathered in it are hundreds of practitioners who have been eliminated.
The other group is purple, and those gathered in it are the eliminated ‘demons’.
Since the true spirit was incorporated into the war contract when signing the [Contract Banner], all those who lose the battle will be picked up by the power of rules and imprisoned in the [Contract Banner].
[Qi Banner] Standing high above the nine heavens, you can clearly observe the general situation in the 'mountain and sea realm'.
And although many people from outside the world are imprisoned, except that they cannot be removed, their cultivation and dialogue are not restricted.
Some of the defeated 'Devils' saw loopholes in it and used the psychic dialogue ability of [Demons Concentric Gong] to inform Jiuluo about the 'Suzaku Kingdom'.
Zhang Ke was stunned for a moment after feeling Wanxiang's thoughts, but then he came to his senses.
My mind was buzzing and confused.
A surge of hot blood instantly surged to the top of his head, and his eyes turned blood red in an instant. At this moment, the reaction of the body even exceeded that of the mind.
With a shake of his shoulders, a golden thread suddenly shot out from the ancestral land.
At this moment, Zhang Ke was not thinking about anything, he was just thinking about saving Wanxiang from the rules of [Qi Banner].
If not...
Then... let's fight!
But he lives in his ancestral land, which is two thousand miles away from ‘Yanwan City’.
Even if he uses his magical power with all his strength at this moment and activates the 'Thunderbolt Golden Light Escape' to the extreme, he still cannot reach it in just a few breaths.
Therefore, he could only watch helplessly as a golden cone shot out from the [Practice Flag] and turned into a golden light and hit the Suzaku who was rushing upwards with white flames blooming all over his body.
"laugh--!"
The golden cone falls.
The hundred-foot-long white flame Suzaku disintegrated into sparks all over the sky with a slight 'chi' sound.
But even if it disperses into sparks, the boundless sparks still rush upwards, stubbornly overflowing the [Deed Flag] before scattering downwards in all directions.
"No--!"
Zhang Ke's eyes were red and he roared from the bottom of his heart.
After a few breaths, when we arrived at the place where Suzaku was destroyed, we looked around and saw that the sky thousands of miles away was filled with flying sparks.
Zhang Ke suddenly raised his head and looked at the [Conformity Flag], endless anger surged in his heart. Because of his anger, white flames shot out three feet from his eyes.
He had never hated his own weakness more than at this moment in his life.
If you can't even protect the woman you love, what's the point of practicing on your own.
At a certain moment, Zhang Kesheng had the idea of attacking [Qi Banner] regardless, but in the end he suppressed this thought.
How can the howl of a defeated dog cause any harm to others?
'One day... one day...'
Zhang Ke gritted his teeth secretly in his heart, but he didn't even dare to mention his name, so he could only swear secretly in his heart.
Looking at the sparks flying in the sky, Zhang Ke silently stretched out his hand.
A weak spark fell on his fingertips. Zhang Ke looked at it for a few times, then his expression suddenly moved and he felt something. A light flashed in his eyes, and he flew away into the distance.
…
This time, thirty-six blood flame dragons caused huge damage to the Suzaku Kingdom.
More than 17 million people died, and in the next two decades, nearly a million more died from the poisonous fire.
In addition, countless buildings, fertile fields, and mineral veins were destroyed, and the direct losses caused the kingdom's national strength to set back by as much as thirty years.
The most critical thing is that the morale of the citizens of the Suzaku Kingdom has been severely damaged, and countless people have begun to doubt the country's ability to protect its citizens.
As the king of the Suzaku Kingdom, Shan Xing failed to relieve the people in times of crisis and bore an unshirkable responsibility.
Therefore, before the incident subsided, Shan Xing was forced to abdicate by the court officials, and his younger brother Shan Yin succeeded him as king!
During this period, the Imperial High School sent envoys to the ancestral land to ask for the opinions of the Imperial Advisor.
But when the envoys arrived at the ancestral land, they found that the Suzaku statue where the Zhenguo statue originally stood had disappeared.
The village under his protection became dilapidated overnight, and the national master Ruyi was nowhere to be found. After searching for several days to no avail, the envoy had no choice but to leave.
…
a long distance away.
Wanjia Town.
On this day, a hooded figure walked into the town in the afterglow of the setting sun.
His height was only between the chest and abdomen of the human race in this world, but no one who saw him was surprised along the way.
It seemed that there was no abnormality in this person at all, and even the patrol soldiers in the town did not come forward to ask.
Wanjia Town was originally a tribe of a thousand people. It was established here after being conquered by the Suzaku Kingdom twenty years ago.
Since most of the people in the town are members of the original tribe, they were basically given the surname "Wan" after the town was established.
The town is not big, but it has grown to more than 6,000 people.
After the hooded man entered the town, he lowered his hood, revealing a face that looked like it had been carved out by an axe.
Zhang Kecan's starlike eyes were slightly closed, and he used his peripheral vision to detect some kind of aura.
After a few breaths, Zhang Ke frowned slightly and said to himself:
"It's strange, a little bit of the true spirit of Wanxiang has fallen here, why can't it be found?"
