The familiar sound of chains was caused by people being seduced to death in the underworld. When Li Yan first arrived in this world, he initiated a special event, [Nine Nether Ghosts, Ghosts Seducing Souls]. It has not ended yet, and he has not received the slightest reward.
He didn't quite understand which step he had to take to be considered complete, but he didn't take it too seriously and just followed his own pace.
But the astonishing sight we saw at this time, if we were to wait here, the rewards for special events would not be easy to obtain.
What comes into view is a huge dragon-shaped skeleton.
The part that pokes out of the sea is covered with white bones and is majestic. The one under the water is even more winding. It is a real dragon, but it is also a giant dragon that has lost its life.
There was no flesh and blood, only bones left, and the dead people from the underworld surrounded him.
It is already an extremely cruel torture for a mortal to be quartered by five horses. At this time, thousands of people were hooked to death, making pulling movements. Chains were hooked on the huge skeleton, and they were constantly being pulled outwards. The chains and keels made strong noises.
The friction caused sparks to fly out from time to time.
The scariest thing is that the directions are not consistent.
They are not like trackers on the human shore, exerting force in one direction to remove the keel, but tearing it from all directions and angles from the sky and under the water, more like they are trying to tear it into pieces.
"Could it be that after the death of the Dragon King of the East China Sea, he prepared to resurrect his soul and refused to enter the underworld, so he was punished?"
"Then what are the Japanese waiting for? To pick up a skeleton and take it back?"
Li Yan stared hard, feeling something was wrong, and began to search for the whereabouts of the Japanese.
I looked around, but there was no trace.
He called out the treasure ship spirit: "Is the Eight Chi Mirror in front?"
Kagura Treasure Ship said: "It's right in front, but this Eight Chi Mirror has the power to seal the airspace and cannot be seen with the naked eye. The Japanese cultivators must be nearby, waiting for the opportunity to come!"
Li Yan turned the wish-fulfilling orb and shined it further into the distance, his face darkened: "They are not waiting for the opportunity, they are creating the opportunity."
The corpses that drifted along the waves before were only in twos and threes, not many in number. It was only when they arrived at the real battlefield that the cruel scene emerged.
Densely packed corpses floated on the sea, and guided by a force, they floated towards the location of the Dragon King's skeleton.
"Hmph, are those Japanese people performing sacrifices again?"
On a huge and gorgeous ship, a man with a rich face stood on the bow of the ship, surrounded by his guards. He also looked down at the corpses floating on the sea, with indifference and fear in his voice.
This man is now the largest smuggler in the East China Sea, only one step away from being the overlord of the sea. The historical King Hui of the Song Dynasty, Wang Zhi.
In this year, Wang Zhi had not yet reached the pinnacle of his life, but he also "lured Buddhists and foreigners, traveled to and from the Zhejiang Sea, stopped at Shuangyu Port, and engaged in private trade." His direct troops numbered 20,000, and they were all equipped with Western muskets.
Among them, the elite personal guards swept across all directions and were unstoppable. It was similar to the style of the Ming army today, but those with fighting ability must be adopted servants.
The problem is that Wang Zhi has a lot of servants, and the people in the area he occupies are strong and fierce. They can earn a lot of wealth by following him through smuggling. They have great support. With an order, everyone enthusiastically joins the army. This and the half-dead Ming army form a problem.
A huge contrast.
So the battlefield was filled with screams, a ship was sunk, and the soldiers on it fell into the water.
Most of these people who were killed and wailing miserably were soldiers of the Ming Army.
"The Ming army is stronger than before, but not much stronger. Coming to attack me is simply asking for death!"
Wang Zhi felt proud, so he held it back, and tried his best to look as calm as possible, and smiled to the left and right, which naturally attracted a lot of support.
He is originally from the Ming Dynasty, so he naturally knows everything about the combat power of the current army.
If he really wanted the country to be rich and powerful and the people to be strong, and the army to be brave, he would not dare to collude with the Japanese pirates so openly, and even threaten the court and let the coastal officials open the door for him to carry out smuggling.
Therefore, Wang Zhi was surprised that the Ming Navy was dispatched this time and that food and wages were distributed before departure, but not much.
What he cares more about is the Japanese cultivators.
Wang Zhi had a complete monopoly on the business dealings with the secular Japanese state, and the daimyo in the coastal areas regarded him as their suzerain and served him with great care.
But Wang Zhi was very afraid of these practitioners with magical powers. He started out as a smuggling merchant and could not recruit monks to join him. He could only adopt a cooperative attitude to a certain extent and turn a blind eye to many things.
One eye.
For example, the corpses from the battle were obviously used by the Japanese. Wang Zhi didn't want to ask more questions. He had defeated the Ming army earlier, and the remaining defeated soldiers fled in all directions, and he never dared to provoke him again.
"Withdraw your troops!"
The Ming army was really preparing to flee. At least one of the anti-Japanese commanders, Li Tianchong, the governor of Zhejiang, turned pale and made a bitter sound.
He did not want to retreat. Facts have proved that what Hu Zongxian said was correct. Wang Zhi seemed to be in contact with the government and helped to put down other bandits, but in fact he had accumulated strength and threatened more than all the other Japanese pirates combined.
But with the situation like this, the pitiful fighting spirit of the Ming army was on the verge of collapse. If it weren't for the troops led by Yu Dayou and Lu Ti, they could barely withstand the outflanking artillery fire of Wang Zhi's personal guards and still be able to fight back to a certain extent.
The entire army was defeated long ago.
"Governor Li, we can't retreat! If we retreat, we will put our lives in the hands of the thieves!"
Wang Zhi's strength was so strong that even Hu Zongxian found it shocking.
Fortunately, this man, who was both civilized and military, had repeatedly acted alone and put himself in danger when he was young. Historically, even when he became the commander-in-chief of the anti-Japanese war, he personally commanded on the front line and faced the swords of Japanese pirates.
So at this time, Li Tianchong was stunned, but Hu Zongxian gritted his teeth and took over the command: "Hold on! Hold on! We still have the Little Celestial Master and the masters from Zhengyi!"
…
"The Dragon King is dead and the Japanese are not weak. There is no need to continue fighting!"
What Hu Zongxian didn't expect was that Tao Shien wanted to run away earlier than Li Tianchong, and even sent word to Yu Jizi, Yuan Dingzi and other leaders of the various sects in the Zhengyi sect.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "The Dragon King of the East China Sea, after all, is still unable to recover!"
What they were paying attention to was not the secular battle below at all, but the huge skeleton in the distance and the inexplicable shift of the battlefield.
This battle was originally to kill the Japanese bandit Wang Zhi and the Onmyoji in Ligang, Zhoushan, and use the heads of these people to regain the passivity of the Shui Tribe's previous appearance, but it ended up here inexplicably.
There is no mystery in the monk's knowledge. Tao Shi'en and the Taoist priests of the Zhengyi sect all realized that the enemy might have an extremely powerful magic weapon.
With abundant resources, no one in this group of Taoists wanted to risk their lives with each other. Tao Shien rolled his eyes and looked directly at one person: "Tao Yin, you keep saying that this is a Japanese nest, and they are unprepared. Now they are here."
If you fall into a trap, could it be that you have colluded with each other for a long time?"
The Red Lian Taoyin mother and son rode on the Linghe, using the Linghe's invisibility technique and the poison of the great demon relic, and they went back and forth. The number of ninjas killed in their hands once again exceeded a hundred, but it was a pity that they could not kill them all.
Just as he was about to take down the Onmyoji, Tao Yin replied loudly after hearing this: "Even if the Dragon King of the East China Sea is dead, his bones must not be obtained by the Japanese. Seniors, we must drive away these thieves."
!”
Yu Jizi, Yuan Dingzi and other Taoist priests looked hesitant upon hearing this.
They consider themselves to be the authentic Xuanmen sect. When they take the Japanese sect seriously, they will naturally not allow the other party to take the Dragon King's body away. However, a sense of threat lingers here, which makes them quite dilemma.
"The bones of the Dragon King were obviously not obtained by Japanese people. Can't you recognize the energy from the underworld? What are you talking nonsense about?"
Tao Shien's eyes were sharp, and he secretly made a secret: "If you don't drink a toast, you will have to drink a fine wine...Lock the spirit ring!"
This Divine Forbidden Lock is not inherited from the Shenxiao Sect, but rather created by itself. Tao Zhongwen has repeatedly warned not to activate the Divine Forbidden Lock Spirit Ring unless absolutely necessary, because every time it is activated, it may give people a chance to observe. Next time
be cracked.
But Tao Shien couldn't bear it any longer, and while Chi Lian Tao Yin was fighting with the help of Linghe's ability, he did this thing that was harmful to others and not beneficial to himself.
"Chirp!"
Sure enough, the spirit crane made a sharp cry, trembled, and was about to drop the mother and child on its back and fly towards Tao Shien.
"Come on! Come on! If I can't get your heart, I also want to get your body!"
While Tao Shien was smiling with a bitter look on his face, Tao Yin calmly made a secret secret and activated the secret hand left behind: "Seven Needles to Control the God!"
"Whoosh!"
Linghe's movements immediately stopped, and the two divine forbidden keys turned into internal and external keys, entangled on the surface of the body, both controlling actions and facing each other tit for tat.
Letting the two gods compete with each other, Linghe, who regained his mobility, stopped and supported Chi Lian and Tao Yin happily without any reluctance.
Tao Shien was stunned: "Impossible! This is impossible!"
Tao Yin looked down and spoke schemingly: "You have humiliated yourself, why don't you faint? Hehe, with your state of mind and cultivation, you can't even stand a little setback, and you want to be a heavenly master... It's a joke!"
“Ahhhhh——!”
Tao Shien's fists were clenched, and his eyes were about to burst. Tao Yin was about to watch this person pull over, but he found a faint line flashing on his neck. He let out a light ejection, and when he was about to take a closer look, he saw an eagle head and a wolf body, with a long back.
The shikigami with crow wings and a katana in each arm rushed over.
The controller is none other than Onmyoji Abe Saiya who appeared at Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou, with a look of hatred on his face covered with white powder: "Snake demon! Return the Hundred Demons at Night!"
"That thing belongs to me in China, and it has been returned to its original owner long ago!"
Tao Yin sneered and turned his attention back to the Japanese.
He kept in mind that when the enemy is at hand, he must deal with the outside world unanimously, and then deal with the internal conflicts after solving the external enemy: "I let you run away last time, but things won't be so good this time... Ha, the young master is here!"
The Shui tribe cleared the way, the treasure ship made waves, and a graceful and immortal figure stood on the bow of the ship, approaching the battlefield at an extremely fast speed, strangely attracting the attention of all parties.
