The broken blade swirled in the air and penetrated into the bluestone on the ground with a "plop" sound, causing the thick bluestone to stir up a stream of choking debris.
At the same time, the soul master who raised his knife to chop Lin Shuhang's wrist suddenly screamed and squatted on the ground.
The other person was holding his right hand with a cracked tiger's mouth, squatting on the ground and howling like a slaughtering pig. Tears of pain couldn't stop flowing down. He didn't look like a man at all.
The other soul masters who were standing by His Highness Xingyun didn't know what had happened and wanted to go over and see their companions. However, due to military discipline, they could not leave their posts without permission. They could only watch helplessly as a large amount of blood flowed out of their companions' mouths.
The general and the two lords accompanied the Lord and Lord as they walked down from the Xingyun Palace with a sullen face. Just now, he happened to see his soldiers slashing Lin Shuhang with their swords.
"Cut off his hand!" General Lei Zhen said coldly, venting all the anger he had just felt in the secret room.
Hearing General Lei Zhen's harsh words, Lin Shuhang broke out in a cold sweat and struggled desperately: "Don't cut off my hand! If you have the guts, let me go and let me continue fighting with you!"
But no one paid attention to him, which made Lin Shuhang feel a little despair in his heart. Is it that he, Lin Shuhang, is destined to have his arm chopped off today?
The two soul masters received the order and quickly walked forward. However, they did not cut off Lin Shuhang's hand, but kicked over the injured soul master.
The spirit master's face had turned pale, and he didn't know whether it was because of severe pain or fear, but his biting lips began to tremble violently.
The erring soul master wanted to beg for mercy, but he stopped abruptly when he looked at the general's cold and ruthless eyes, but the pity in his eyes became more and more serious.
One of the soul masters stepped heavily on the chest of the comrade who made the mistake, fixing him firmly on the ground, while the other soul master in charge of the execution firmly stepped on his right hand with his feet.
"No...please my brother, don't..."
The soldier who made the mistake prayed pitifully. As a soldier, he did not want to lose his arm. If so, he would not be able to hold the weapon tightly, would not be able to face the enemy, and would not even be able to survive in this world.
"Brother, don't blame me. You made a mistake and must accept punishment."
The soul master who was executing the execution muttered. Although his face was expressionless, you could still see the unbearable and pain flowing in his eyes. You must know that the person stepping on his feet is his good brother and comrade-in-arms, and the one who cut off his brother's hand was himself. This
This kind of pain is entangled.
But friendship is friendship, military orders are falling, and he must enforce the law!
A shrill scream, accompanied by a shower of bloody blood, hit Lin Shuhang's heart hard. This young man who had only been in the spiritual energy era for a few days was stunned!
He let the thick blood blur his vision, let the cold north wind blow on his exposed skin, and let the soul master whose arm was cut off scream in pain in his ears.
This bloody scene completely impacted Lin Shuhang's soul and completely shocked his inner world.
It can be said that this is the third shock Lin Shuhang has felt since he came to this spiritual age.
The first time was on the stage of Hundred Resentments, where he witnessed a shocking and brutal massacre!
That massacre was inhumane and its evil was outrageous! The tragic loss of tens of thousands of lives completely changed his worldview, making him feel the horror of war, and at the same time made him hate war.
The second shock was when he accidentally touched the crystal arm armor and was recognized as its owner, and suddenly transformed into a madman.
When he transformed into the Ghost Eater, he was completely dehumanized and completely lost his mind.
In order to avoid being chased and killed, out of the instinct of survival, he was ridden with resentment and used immortal magic to fight 10,000 soul masters in a fierce battle between life and death in the square inside the ancient battlefield site!
In that battle, under the siege of 10,000 soul masters, he used his immortal magic that could destroy the heaven and earth, and broke out a kind of wildness that did not belong to him. At the same time, he also created a terrible legend - the ghost man came to the world.
!
It was a real shock, a shock that completely cleansed the soul!
That crazy, incredible battle completely changed his outlook on life.
But now this third shock has made him feel the cruelty and darkness in the world of cold weapons, allowing him to completely see what it means to be inhumane!
In this world, or to be precise, the military discipline of this country is based on violence. Violence has no emotions, only absolute execution. This shock also changed the values in Lin Shuhang's eyes.
A person's life is controlled by others. This kind of ending, no, it should be said that this kind of process is terrible. Relying on others is dangerous, being subordinate to others is humiliating. Lin Shuhang's values have changed since then.
"My soldiers don't need emotions, so they become powerful and terrifying. My army doesn't need humanity, so they dominate the world!"
"But my army needs discipline, absolute obedience and absolute loyalty! Without discipline we will not be able to defeat the enemy, without obedience we will perish on the journey, and without loyalty we will become each other's enemies!... This is the lack of a sense of discipline.
The fate of strong people, I don’t want this to happen again next time!”
General Lei Zhen said coldly to the eight thousand soul masters. Although his voice was not loud, all eight thousand soul masters shuddered severely.
They are the holders of violence and are not afraid of anything except violence itself. The master of violence is the general, so they are afraid of the general and also fear the general.
General Lei Zhen stopped talking and stood quietly behind Junhou, while Junhou looked Lin Shuhang up and down with a strange look.
Lin Shuhang has not recovered from the fright just now, and there is still panic in his eyes, but the blood on his face has already cooled down under the north wind.
Junhou took Lin Shuhang's wrist and checked it, and found that the Sea of Souls and the Blade of Hundred Resentments had been hidden in Lin Shuhang's forearm.
The wrist with the soul sea on it was intact and not harmed at all. Junhou smiled knowingly, and then began to forcibly put the soul seal and seal on Lin Shuhang.
Soul mark is a terrible evil magic, usually used by people with bad intentions to create puppets.
The person who is marked with the soul mark is called the soul slave, and the person who controls the soul slave is called the soul master!
The soul slave can never hurt the soul master. When the soul master is hurt, the soul slave will die. Therefore, no matter how powerful the soul slave is, even an immortal or even a god must completely obey the soul master's orders and cannot hurt the soul master, no matter how powerful the soul slave is.
How weak the soul master is, even a child.
The seal is a secret method of imprisonment. Different from the soul seal, the seal can only be used to seal martial arts, magic weapons and other objects. Just like Lin Shuhang, if the soul sea on his body is sealed by someone, then Lin Shuhang will not be able to use it until the seal is lifted.
You will not be able to use the special power granted by the soul seal. Of course, if you lift the seal, you will continue to destroy the world.
The soul seal and sealing took two hours. After placing the soul seal on Lin Shuhang, he glanced at Lin Shuhang with dull eyes. The Lord suddenly stretched out his hand and tore off the iron chains binding him.
Junhou smiled and grabbed Lin Shuhang's chin and said: "Young man, I don't know where you come from or where you are going. I only know that this accident made you a destined 'Onimusha'
, whether you want it or not, your destiny has been firmly controlled by me, and there is no chance of a comeback!"
Lin Shuhang, who had been given soul seals and seals within an hour, glared at the prince fiercely, forgetting to struggle for a moment.
"You must remember that on this ancient battlefield site, you have the most terrifying identity, the most powerful weapon and the most terrifying power in the world, but now you cannot use all the power attached to you... because now
You are far from qualified to use it!"
On the day when the princes formulated the exile plan, the army found three hundred giant black trees under the collapsed imperial palace.
Each of these giant wooden pieces with a diameter of one meter is carved with dragons and phoenixes, exuding an extraordinary imperial aura!
According to numerous theories, this is a very rare and rare tree species. Its scientific name is black iron tree, and its wood is as hard as black iron.
But black iron is perishable, while "black iron" lasts for thousands of years.
There are books that record that the black iron tree was conceived on the day when heaven and earth first opened. Its life will not die for thousands of years, its body will not decay for thousands of years, and its spirit will not fade for thousands of years. It is an ancient sacred tree.
It's just that this sacred tree with strange properties grows in another distant continent.
It is said that there must be a giant spirit guarding the place where the sacred tree grows within three miles. The giant spirit is several feet tall. It is evil in nature and likes fighting. It lives in the forest of sacred trees and fills its stomach with the fruits of hundreds of trees. Anyone who desecrates the sacred forest will be punished no matter how far away it is. Anyone who touches it will be killed.
Those with sacred trees will die no matter how strong they are.
It is said that when the imperial palace was built, in order to obtain this rare ancient sacred tree, the emperor of the empire used all the power of the world to expedition to the Forest of Giant Spirits.
On the day of the expedition, one hundred thousand imperial soldiers set out from Kyoto in a mighty manner. They climbed thousands of mountains and crossed thousands of rivers. It took them three years to reach the ancient forest said to be guarded by giants.
Then came the long wait...
Five years later, after a long drift, the first black iron tree was transported back to China from the other side of the sea. Along with the black iron tree, 53,000 shocking coffins were transported back.
That day, more than 50,000 pitch-black coffins drifted on the sea with the waves, densely black, one on top of another, just like the scene when 100,000 imperial soldiers went on an expedition eight years ago, the vast black coffins filled everyone
Sight.
After a long period of soaking and erosion by sea water, most of the more than 50,000 coffins containing the remains of imperial soldiers have long since decayed, but the black iron tree transported from afar is still dark and shiny!
A few months later, the second black iron tree arrived back home from the other side of the sea.
This time, in addition to six thousand coffins, there was also a scarred giant corpse that was brought back together.
This was the first djinn hunted by the Imperial Expeditionary Force.
Subsequently, thick ancient sacred trees were continuously transported back to the country.
People found that fewer and fewer coffins were brought back from the sea together with black iron trees, while more and more giant corpses were found. It seemed that the imperial expeditionary force in a foreign land already knew how to deal with these terrifying giants.
In the twenty-sixth year of the Empire, the last black iron tree needed to build the Imperial Palace was shipped back to the country. Then the remaining 189 soldiers of the Imperial Expeditionary Force struggled back from the sea dragging their broken bodies. At this point, they set foot in the ancient forest.
The expedition officially came to an end.
According to official statistics, during the sixteen-year expedition, 91,203 soldiers died in the ancient forest.
Although I don’t know what the emperor’s purpose was in sending troops to expedition into the ancient forest, it has to be said that the tragic ending of more than 90,000 imperial soldiers dying in the alien world still made the famous emperor bear the reputation of being stupid and unscrupulous.
It seemed to be the only failure in the Emperor's life.
The empire lasted for 390 years, and it took 13 years to build the unique imperial palace.
Three hundred ancient sacred trees became the pillars supporting the roof of the palace. The more than 90,000 expeditionary soldiers who died in the battle were also enshrined in the Zhongwu Society inside the palace.
In a blink of an eye, things have changed dramatically!
With the collapse of the empire, the sacred trees that once supported the entire empire were heavily buried under the ruins of history for three hundred years.
Now that the sacred tree has finally reappeared, how can people not lament the twists and turns of fate?
Looking at the sacred tree that had gone through countless ups and downs, Junhou closed his eyes slightly, and then opened his eyes after a long time.
When the prince opened his eyes, he issued an order to General Lei Zhen's army - to make a bow from these three hundred ancient sacred trees carved with dragons and phoenixes!
A giant bow that is unparalleled in the world! And this giant bow will play a crucial role in banishing Lin Shuhang.
The soldiers did not dare to disobey the emperor's orders. It took more than 8,000 soldiers seven days and seven nights to drive 300 sacred trees into a huge bow.
The length of this giant bow reached an astonishing 1,500 meters!
Made of 299 thick black iron trees and placed in the square, everyone could not help but marvel at this unique giant bow.
I dare to ask, who in the world can have such courage? To use 300 ancient sacred trees that are rare in the world to make a giant bow?
The prince told General Lei Zhen's soldiers that no one could make such a giant bow before, and it would be even less likely that anyone would make it in the future, because it was no longer just a miracle.
The sacred tree that once supported the entire empire was now made into a tool used by later generations to exile people. Such an absurd ending can't help but make people sigh.
When the army exiled Lin Shuhang, there was a huge scene.
Thousands of soldiers lined up in the square, waiting for the emperor's orders.
At this moment, they only listen to the words of the monarch. Although they are loyal to General Lei Zhen, the reality is that strength is greater than anything else.
Looking at the huge bow with a length of 1.5 kilometers, Lin Shuhang was so shocked that his scalp felt like it was exploding.
This shot was probably powerful enough to fly to the moon, right?
"I'm paralyzed! Do you think this is Hou Yi shooting the sun?! You don't play like this! Let me go! I need to pee!" Lin Shuhang looked at the giant bow that would shoot him into the sky in a moment.
His face turned pale with fear.
No one paid attention to Lin Shuhang. At the last moment before being exiled, everyone had their own things to do.
Thousands of soldiers nervously adjusted the direction and angle of the giant bow. Half an hour later, everything was ready.
At the last moment before drawing his bow, Junhou, the architect of the exile plan, proudly said to General Lei Zhen's army: "The next moment, the most incredible thing in the world will happen in the square on the site of this ancient battlefield, and witness
It’s us who are the miracle!”
After saying this, Junhou waved his hand, and the two soul masters understood and began to walk towards the giant bow with Lin Shuhang struggling.
At this time, an arrow was already attached to the giant bow.
The arrow is a giant arrow, pointing straight into the sky at a 65-degree angle, and is made of a whole black iron tree.
The inside of the arrow was hollowed out, and when he was exiled, Lin Shuhang would stay inside and enjoy the joy of flying into the sky that mortals were not qualified to enjoy.
The joy of flying? Damn it! Faced with such a flying sky, who the hell can have fun? Even if you can't fall to death, you will be scared to death!
"Don't bother, don't bother! What, if you don't play like this, someone will die!" Lin Shuhang, who was stuffed into the giant arrow, cried out in horror.
"Don't worry, the contract between you and me has not been completed yet, how can we die so easily?" Junhou said with a smile, and then waved his hand.
"Draw the bow!!!"
When the order to draw the bow was given to the army, more than 8,000 soldiers quickly gathered behind the bowstring of the giant bow.
The bowstring was made up of three thousand jet-black iron chains woven together. On this huge string, which was thicker than a human waist, five hundred ropes as thick as an arm were firmly held in the hands of the soldiers.
"Get ready..." A captain standing on the bow and in charge of directing the army to draw the bow shouted loudly.
"Fire the bow!"
Following the commander's order, more than 8,000 soldiers collectively shouted loudly and suddenly pulled the ropes in their hands!
Nearly ten thousand soldiers worked together to pull an unprecedented giant bow. What a spectacular and shocking scene it was? However, this absurd and unbelievable thing was going on in full swing in the huge square!
"Heyyo~Heyyo..."
"Hey Yo~ Hey Yo..." More than 8,000 soldiers shouted loud chants and pulled hard on the ropes in their hands. The thick iron chain bow strings began to make a harsh "squeak" sound as the soldiers pulled.
.
"Heyyo~Heyyo..."
However, no matter how hard the soldiers tried, the huge bow never opened! This made the commander in charge of commanding the army to draw the bow very anxious.
Realizing that something was wrong, the captain immediately jumped off his giant bow and ran towards the prince.
"Your Majesty, the bow is too stiff, we can't pull it!" the captain said anxiously, cupping his fists.
Junhou frowned, obviously this was something he had not expected at the beginning.
Upon seeing this, General Lei Zhen said: "Your Majesty, would you like to bring the Heaven-Toothing Beast?"
Junhou's eyes suddenly lit up and he said anxiously: "Yes, why didn't I think that your army still has the Totian Beast? General Lei Zhen, please immediately order the Tootian Beast to be brought in to shoot the bow!"
"Yes!" General Lei Zhen said.
Two extremely powerful sky-supporting beasts were quickly transferred to the square. With the addition of the two sky-supporting giant beasts, the soldiers who drew their bows worked even harder! The chants of "Hey, hey, hey, yo" actually shook the sky slightly.
tremble.
Soon, the thick bowstring opened little by little!
When the bowstring was stretched to its maximum, the soldiers tied the rope in their hands tightly to a huge wooden stake. All the army had to do now was wait for the final firing order.
Lin Shuhang, who was in a depressed mood, nestled inside the giant arrow dejectedly, holding his arms and shivering with cold.
No matter how much he begged, the soldiers around him ignored him, which made him a little annoyed.
