With a clang, the sword at his waist was drawn. Holding the sword high in his right hand, pointing it to the sky, Lin Yang shouted, "Kill!"
As he spoke, he formed a hand seal with his left hand, and his military aura began to circulate. As the soldiers advanced, their military aura gradually fluctuated.
Sensing the increasingly active military spirit, Lin Yang put down his sword and quickly formed hand seals. In just a few breaths, the military spirit of the army was completely mobilized.
"A secret military technique, sealed away."
With a low shout, the invisible military aura transformed into tangible chains, spreading in all directions and forming a vast net.
Within these intricate webs, even the most unparalleled heroes can only fall to their deaths and submit to the enemy. From this day forward, the days when martial arts masters could disregard the army are gone forever!
------------
Chapter 104: Bian Bufu, dead!
With a series of swishing sounds, these visible chains shot straight into the sky, transforming into a massive net that completely sealed off the entire city of Yangzhou.
Surrounded by the Net, everyone's inner energy was weakened once again. Originally, Cai Yan's literary energy had already somewhat weakened them. Now, the Net's military energy was weakened even more.
This time, even innate masters lost most of their internal energy. Moreover, because the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was filled with military, baleful, murderous, and literary energy, most people could not and dared not refine this polluted spiritual energy.
In other words, these innate martial artists' greatest reliance—the ability to connect with the inner and outer worlds and generate endless internal energy—is gone!
Right now, they're merely equivalent to a highly skilled acquired martial artist with high-quality internal energy. Their true energy is dwindling rapidly, and they're utterly helpless against the encirclement of a large army!
As for Lin Yang's soldiers, their cultivation techniques were originally designed for the battlefield, so they were not affected.
The heroes on Lin Yang's side, mainly those under Shi Long's command, as well as Taoist priests from the Celestial Masters sect and other Taoist sects, each had talismans drawn on their bodies beforehand. With these specific talismans, they would not be affected in the short term.
"This is bad. Under the influence of these nets and these ten big characters, most of my power has been wasted. Now, I can barely exert the strength of a newly entered Grandmaster. This is too passive." Bian Bufeng said grimly, feeling the true energy in his body running and getting stuck.
As he spoke, his eyes darted around. He quickly discovered the secret of the talisman; after all, he was a grandmaster, and possessed that much observational skill.
Even more coincidentally, just as he finished observing, a man on the verge of death appeared before him. Judging from his injuries, it seemed he had been struck by Bi Xuan's fist. It looked like he wouldn't survive. His eyes darted around, and an idea formed in his mind.
"Bi Xuan, how dare you scheme against my junior brother?" Zhu Yuyan suddenly said coldly.
Even without turning around, one could feel the chilling aura behind him. Seeing this, Bi Xuan laughed and said, "Hehe, Empress Yin, don't you want to find someone to test whether these talismans can be used?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuyan's expression softened somewhat, but she still said, "It doesn't necessarily have to be my junior brother. He's still a member of my Yin Kui Sect, after all."
This isn't really about holding someone accountable; it's more like bargaining. What price are you willing to pay? As long as there's something in it for you, everything is negotiable.
In any case, Bian Bufu's talent is truly lacking. Even after acquiring knowledge from beyond the heavens, his current martial arts level is only at the late Grandmaster stage. Zhu Yuyan doesn't take this level of martial prowess seriously at all. If he dies, he dies; it doesn't matter!
Upon hearing this, Bi Xuan chuckled.
"Heh heh he was just a grandmaster. So what if he died? At most, my Turkic people and your Demonic Sect will start cooperating. Consider that a sign of our sincerity."
To be honest, the Turks used to cooperate with Buddhism, but now it seems that Buddhism is really too much of a hindrance, having provoked such a formidable enemy. Therefore, occasionally cooperating with the demonic sects to suppress Buddhism is something that can be considered.
"Hehe, it's your honor to have caught my eye, so don't resist." While using his left hand to press pressure points on the dying man before him, he placed his right hand on the man's chest.
There was a tattoo there, which was actually a talisman. However, this person's strength was too low, so he simply tattooed the talisman onto his body. This way, although the effect was less, it wouldn't be easily stolen!
With a tearing sound, Bian Bufeng ripped off the skin from his chest. Feeling the spiritual light emanating from the talisman, Bian Bufeng was overjoyed. With this item, the possibility of escaping had finally increased.
Thinking this, I simply stuck the piece of skin onto my body. The moment it was on, I felt the heavy pressure that had been building up in my chest vanish instantly.
Then, he raised his right hand and struck the street beside him with a palm strike. His inner energy left his body and transformed into a palm print ten feet in size. With a loud bang, a house collapsed.
"Great, great, that's wonderful."
However, before Bian Bufu could finish celebrating, the talisman on his left arm suddenly emitted a grayish light and then exploded!
Yes, it exploded!
This is a loophole left when the talisman was originally designed. Once the talisman leaves the human body, even for just a moment, it will explode upon re-contact with the body. At the same time, it will turn into a potent poison, causing enormous harm to the person.
ah!
ah!
ah!
At this moment, Bian Bufu's entire left arm was gone. The rest of his body was also badly damaged and corroded by the shockwave and poison from the explosion. Half of his face was now disfigured.
Whether out of fear, worry, or simply a fear of death, he was now lying on the ground, rolling around in pain. His entire body was covered in injuries of varying degrees.
Normally, one could slowly use their inner energy to seal the wound, but now, all one can do is wait to die.
Suddenly, Bian Bufu, who was resigned to his death, caught a glimpse of the familiar figure he had longed for in the past.
"Senior sister, senior sister, help me!" Bian Bufeng hurriedly grabbed the hem of Yin Hou's skirt and cried out loudly.
Seeing this, Zhu Yuyan remained calm. Then, she said coldly, "Junior brother, do you know that twenty years ago, when Meixian lost her virginity, you should have died?"
Upon hearing this, Bian Bufeng's face turned deathly pale. While he wasn't exceptionally intelligent, he was certainly not lacking in cleverness. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to remain carefree after seizing Shan Meixian's Red Pill.
"Senior sister, that was all a scheme by Cihang Jingzhai. I was just careless. Otherwise, why would I have attacked Meixian? I was also tricked!" Bian Bufeng quickly defended himself.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuyan smiled slightly, and Bian Bufu found her incredibly charming. However, in the next instant, he lost all interest in admiring that beautiful smile.
"Whether this was Cihang Jingzhai's scheme or your own collusion with Cihang Jingzhai from the inside, it's no longer important. What's important is, junior brother, do you have any last words? Hmm, it seems not. Then go."
As he spoke, he gently waved his right hand, and Bian Bufu stopped responding. He even stopped breathing, and before he died, his eyes were wide open, as if he had died with his eyes open in disbelief.
To be honest, seeing Bian Bufu's fate, everyone felt a bit worried. It was clear that everything that had happened today was a pre-planned trap. Could they really kill the three immortals? At this point, even Bi Xuan, who was the most confident, fell silent.
"kill!"
