Chapter 481 Taoist Soldiers!

Xiao Feng suddenly realized, "Are you talking about the Taoist soldiers?"

"Daoist soldiers?" Xin Zhen thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "The cultivation of Daoist soldiers is too cruel and will violate the harmony of heaven. I will not do it."

Xiao Feng had only heard of the Dao soldiers, but he had no idea what they looked like or how they were trained. Upon hearing this, he asked, "How did the Dao soldiers come about?"

Xin Zhen said: "Taoist soldiers usually use the one yuan, two yin and yang, three talents, four images, five elements, seven stars, eight trigrams, nine palaces, ten absolutes, twelve earthly branches, twenty-four heavens, twenty-eight constellations, thirty-six celestial beings, etc. as the basic numbers to form battle formations and connect them into formations.

The spiritual energy gathers and stimulates supernatural powers. No matter whether the enemy is one or a thousand, they all unite as one and fight the enemy as a group.

Therefore, special means are needed to engrave the formation on these people. These people are of the same origin and even their qi meridians are connected. With the help of the formation, all the power can be added to one person, increasing his ability out of thin air.

However, this method is somewhat cruel. Some Taoist sects prefer to train monsters into Taoist soldiers. The most fundamental reason is that monsters have strong bodies, and even if they are overwhelmed, they can recover in two or three days at most.

But humans can’t do that. Their weak bodies, even if they have practiced martial arts, cannot withstand the impact of powerful energy. Therefore, using humans as Taoist soldiers is not only against the will of heaven, but also very cruel.”

Xiao Feng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he looked towards Jiangyin City and said, "Killing these hundreds of thousands of man-eating monsters is just to eliminate harm to the people. If we use them as Taoist soldiers for sacrifice, does it mean that the heavens are merciful and give them a way to live?"

"Ok?"

Xin Zhen was stunned for a moment, then his eyes slowly brightened.

Qiao Feng smiled and said, "How is it? Is it feasible?"

Xin Zhen seemed not to have heard what Xiao Feng said. He stared straight at Jiangyin City and said suddenly, "Brother, I think I know how to deal with these hundreds of thousands of monsters!"

Xiao Feng: "Hmm?"

Xin Zhen pulled Xiao Feng aside and talked to him in a low voice for a while. Xiao Feng looked at Xin Zhen in surprise for a while.

At night, the two of them secretly appeared in a forest, where there was a checkpoint guarded by a monster.

After a while, an ape demon said in great shock: "The pig leader has been stolen! The pig leader has been stolen!"

A giant ape strode over, stretched out his hand and slapped the ape demon, saying: "Shut up, the pig leader is a great golden elixir demon, how could he be stolen? He is not a newborn piglet!"

The ape demon said aggrievedly: "I saw it with my own eyes. Two men in black held down the sleeping pig leader, put him in their pockets, carried him on their shoulders and secretly carried him away! If this isn't stealing, what is it?"

The giant ape looked at the ape demon doubtfully and asked, "Did he really steal it?"

The ape demon nodded and said, "That's not the case."

At this time, the sound of the beast tide boiling in Jiangyin City came. The giant ape looked at the ape monster and said, "When the four kings ask, you should also answer like this, and don't talk about other things.

Damn, these beasts, I've had enough of them, howling like ghosts and wolves every day, aren't they just hungry! I'll go back and watch them, otherwise they'll rebel again!"

The giant ape went off cursing.

The ape demon shrank his neck and looked around, fearing that the two men in black would come back and abduct him.

However, just as he was looking at it, the giant ape in front of him suddenly fell to the ground with its head down, and then a man in black suddenly appeared and carelessly stuffed the giant ape into his pocket.

The ape demon stuffed a fist into his mouth, fearing that even the slightest sound would lead to the man in black noticing him and capturing him.

At this moment, it suddenly heard someone whisper in its ear: "Did I knock you out, or did you get into my bag yourself?"

The ape demon screamed and tried to run, but found that he was carrying a mountain on his back. His knees went weak and he fell to the ground.

The ape demon found that there was a tiny person standing on his shoulder. Compared with his own body which was several meters tall, that person was very small. But with such a person standing on his shoulder, he could not even stand up.

Although he is just a small minion, he is also a Jindan demon, otherwise he would not be able to speak. Those who can set up checkpoints outside are basically great demons. But the man in black makes him feel like he is carrying a mountain just by standing on his shoulders. This man is definitely an old monster in the Yuanying stage!
Facing an old monster in the Nascent Soul stage, what else can you say? You can only obey him.

The ape demon said obediently: "I will go with you."

Xin Zhen thought about it, turned his hand over and melted a few pieces of frost, and shot them into the ape monster's body. The ape monster asked in fear, "What is this?"

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Restriction. Only I can break this restriction in the world. When it breaks out, it will make people live a life worse than death."

The ape demon's eyes rolled around and he said, "Then I definitely can't run away. If I run away, no one will help me break the restriction."

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Very clever, but it's better to feel it for yourself."

Xin Zhen snapped his fingers, and the next moment, the ape monster's eyeballs almost popped out, and all of its facial features were wrinkled.

At this moment, it felt tingling and numbness all over its body, as well as needle-like pain, and the itching gradually penetrated deeper. After a while, even its internal organs seemed to start to itch.

The ape demon quickly used his magic power to resist the itch, but it was of no avail. Instead, the demon power seemed to add fuel to the fire, and the itch became a hundred times hotter.

This torment is just as Xin Zhen said, it makes people unable to live or die!
The ape demon rolled desperately on the ground, rubbing its body with stones and gravel, scratching its body with its claws, scratching its entire body until it was covered in blood, but it did not reduce the itch at all.

Then the ape demon fell to his knees with a plop, kowtowed to Xin Zhen, and said in a mournful voice: "My God! My God! I know that this restriction is extremely powerful. Please let me go. As long as you command, I will obey! Please release the restriction for me!"

Xin Zhen snapped his fingers and the strange itching on the ape demon's body stopped immediately. The ape demon lay on the ground with its back up, as if dead.

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "This restriction will continue to take effect at this time tomorrow."

The ape demon immediately turned over and knelt in front of Xin Zhen and said, "My Lord, just tell me what you need me to do. Whether it's being your mount or reporting the secrets of Jiangyin City to you, as long as you are willing to lift this restriction, I will do it!"

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "I'm short of some Taoist soldiers." The ape demon's eyes lit up when he heard that, and said, "Then I'll go to the city and bring some to you?"

Xin Zhen stared at the ape monster and asked, "Can you command those monsters?"

The ape demon said, "Hey, Immortal, look at what you said. I, Yuan Hua, am still a great Golden Core Patriarch. It's just a small matter to dispatch some monsters. Immortal, what kind do you need?"

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "How many can you mobilize at most? What level of monsters are they?"

Yuan Hua said: "If the beast tide is out, I can mobilize tens of thousands of monsters, but now they are all in the city, and the four kings are watching, so I can only mobilize dozens of them secretly, and their cultivation cannot be high, so I can only mobilize monsters in the Guanhai realm."

Xin Zhen frowned and asked, "Can you trick the big monsters out of the other levels?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Hua nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, okay."

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "Help me trick seven or eight big monsters out, and then lure me dozens of Guanhai Realm monsters, and I will help you break the restriction."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Hua said, "The big demon can't deceive so many people, only three at most."

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Okay, then three. If you can get fifty sea-viewing beasts, you will be free."

Yuan Hua nodded and said, "Okay, just wait for me nearby."

Xin Zhen nodded and let the ape demon leave. He waited until the ape demon disappeared outside the woods, then he quietly found a big tree and hid himself.

Not long after, they heard a voice coming from outside the woods. Yuan Hua laughed and said, "Hey, it's right inside. There's wine and meat! I guarantee that all the brothers will have a good meal and drink!"

Several unfamiliar voices laughed happily. One of them said with a smile, "I have been craving for this piece of human flesh for a long time. After I broke into this damn Jiangyin City, the four kings didn't let me eat more, saying that the brothers below were even hungrier...

Bah! We worked so hard and couldn't even have a full meal. What's the point? Now everyone is starving to death, and they are still holding us down and not letting us move. What the hell!
"After I capture Changzhou City, I will eat a lot. I will eat ten pregnant women, hahahaha! Unborn fetuses are so delicious to eat, haha!"

The other big monsters also started cursing. Some said they wanted to eat cultivators, saying that their bones and tendons were more fragrant. Some said they wanted to eat young boys and girls, because they tasted fresh and fragrant without any peculiar smell. Some had more picky tastes and had to eat those born around the Mid-Autumn Festival, saying that it was because the moonlight nourished them and that there was something wonderful about eating them.

Xin Zhen's face became more and more gloomy. Originally, when he heard that Jiangyin City was breached and the people inside were eaten, he might not have felt anything. But now, when he heard these monsters talking about cannibalism so unscrupulously, Xin Zhen felt the cruelty here.

"These monsters...the best fate for them is to be used as Taoist soldiers!" Xin Zhen thought to himself.

After a few moments, the ape demon was seen leading three big demons into the woods: a wolf demon, a fox demon, and a tiger demon. They all transformed into human forms, but their movements were still not human-like.

After entering the woods, the ape demon looked around. The three demons looked at the ape demon, and the fox demon said, "Yuan Hua, have we arrived yet? Where is the person you were talking about?"

At this time, Xin Zhen jumped down from the tree, and Yuan Hua smiled and said, "Well, isn't this it?"

The fox demon asked suspiciously, "It is a person, but there is only one. It is not enough to eat."

Xin Zhen said with a sullen face: "You are looking for death!"

As soon as these words came out, the three demons knew something was wrong and immediately became alert. The tiger demon angrily asked, "Yuan Hua, what do you mean by this?"

Yuan Hua said in panic: "I don't know. I clearly tied up more than a dozen people here. Could it be that they were rescued by this human race?"

Xin Zhen didn’t care about Yuan Hua’s little tricks and just rushed over.

The wolf demon shouted, "Capture this human first. Even if there are fewer of them, it will be enough to satisfy your hunger."

At this time, Xin Zhen had already arrived in front of the wolf monster. The wolf monster bared its fangs and stretched out its sharp claws, with a cold light flashing at the tips of its claws. These were wolf claws that had been refined by the Golden Core Monster. If ordinary steel came into contact with these wolf claws, one claw could cut through gold and jade.

Xin Zhen ignored the wolf claws and reached out to grab the wolf demon's arm, allowing the wolf claws to grab his chest. The wolf demon was overjoyed. Wouldn't he be able to rip this human rip open?

However, there was only a squeaking sound, and the wolf's claws only scratched the human's black clothes. The wolf demon felt that the wolf's claws had no way of cutting into the flesh and blood. Instead, it felt that the claws seemed to be broken by the vibration, and it was immediately terrified.

But before it could react, it felt a strong force coming from its arm, and the whole person flew up into the air. Then it felt someone hit the back of its head strongly, and it suddenly didn't know where it was.

When the fox demon and the tiger demon saw that the wolf demon was subdued by the human in just an instant, they were shocked and wanted to transform to fight Xin Zhen.

But how could Xin Zhen let them transform calmly? They were already so close to him. As a warrior, how could he give them another chance? Xin Zhen appeared in front of the two monsters in a flash. The two monsters were terrified and did not bother to transform again. The tiger monster roared and opened its mouth wide to bite Xin Zhen's head fiercely. During the bite, the human face turned into a huge tiger face. The bloody mouth could directly swallow Xin Zhen's entire head!

Xin Zhen punched the tiger demon directly in the face. The tiger demon's whole body trembled suddenly, and fell to the ground the next moment. This punch was the Great Demon Subduing Palm from the Nine Yin Scriptures, which seemed to be very effective in subduing demons. With just one punch, the tiger demon's bones were loosened!
The fox demon was very cunning and was about to grab with its claws at first, but when it saw the tiger demon got ahead of it, it immediately rolled to the ground and rushed out like lightning, trying to escape.

While fleeing, he saw the tiger demon being knocked down by Xin Zhen's punch, and he was immediately glad that he was quick to see the opportunity, but the next moment he saw a black shadow falling from the sky and directly stepping on his tail. The fox demon was shocked and turned around to bite, but he felt a pair of strong hands grabbing his neck, and his roar immediately turned into a whimpering cry.

Xiao Feng turned around and smiled at Xin Zhen: "Three golden elixir monsters, hey, there is still one here, enough for us to show off."

When Yuan Hua heard this, he was immediately shocked and said, "What four? What display? He said he would let me go!"

Xiao Feng looked at Yuan Hua and asked, "Have you ever eaten a human?"

Yuan Hua was shocked and angry at once. Xiao Feng meant that since he had eaten human flesh, the grudge could not be resolved and any promise he made would naturally be invalid.

But Yuan Hua knew that he was no match for Xin Zhen, and there was also Xiao Feng. He knew he could not defeat him, but there were restrictions on his body, so he could not run away. He could only wail, "Sir, please don't go back on your word. The saints of your race taught that if a man does not have faith, he is not worthy of it."

Xin Zhen and Xiao Feng both laughed when they heard this. It turned out that this was a monster who had read the books of sages. No wonder he was named Yuan Hua.

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "I think you are a talented person. I am missing an attendant. Are you willing to be my attendant?"

Yuan Hua was overjoyed when he heard this. As long as he could survive, he would be willing to be a follower or even a mount!
