Chapter 148 The Left Bank Arrives, the Power of Law

The court wants to legislate?
However, at this critical juncture, the real Divine Dynasty court is obviously too lazy to pay attention to Cangzhou. As long as the resources produced by Cangzhou and the taxes owed are still continuously transported to the Divine Capital Yangjing by water, Yangjing will not care about Cangzhou's affairs.

This has been verified many times.

Therefore, it has nothing to do with the imperial court. When they say that the imperial court wants to make laws, in fact, it is the Zuo family that wants to make laws.

What is the Zuo family going to do? And why does it affect here?
Also, what was that hand I just saw?
Just now, what Gao Jian said to the fox in front of him, "I saw someone reaching out to me", was not an adjective, but a plain and straightforward description.

A hand really stretched out from the incense burner just now. Through some special magic, the other party stretched out its hand from the ashes and incense smoke.

But before that, Gao Jian smashed the incense burner with a knife.

The incense burner shattered and the aroma of the incense dissipated, so Gao Jian stretched out his hand and gathered the aroma of the incense.

Although Gao Jian looks like he is not familiar with magic, he is actually a person who has created his own incense magic. He can clearly feel that the aroma of the incense comes from the local land god.

That is the fox.

He also heard the sound of the fox's golden body disintegrating.

So he gathered the incense scent using his own incense magic, kicked the door open, ignored the panicked little foxes, rushed over, and slapped the incense scent back.

This cannot restore the other party's golden body, but it can greatly shorten the time it takes for her to complete the refining next time.

Perhaps good things come to good people, Bai Lingqing held Gao Jian back and told him what the higher gods were thinking about...

Then, Gao Jian heard the words "the court is going to legislate."

Gao Jian didn't react for a moment, but he immediately realized that this was the result of Shen Yun!

Perhaps it is very strange to the local gods of these areas, but Gao Jian has been facing various kinds of gods for many years and is very familiar with this kind of "speaking in the mind".

He held Bai Lingqing down and shouted, "Can you sleep?!"

Bai Lingqing felt dizzy and felt as if hundreds of people were talking to her.

"Sleep...?" She asked in a daze, obviously out of her mind.

At this time, there were a few little foxes nearby holding axes and knives, with panicked faces, but rushing over without slowing down at all.

"Let go, big sister!"

"Don't touch my sister!"

At the same time, Gao Jian saw that in the distance, about dozens of miles away, there was something condensing the aroma of incense.

It was not felt, as dozens of miles were beyond Gao Jian's perception, but it was seen with the naked eye.

There is a mushroom-like incense scent floating in the sky. When it first appears, it looks like a cloud but not a cloud, like fog but not fog, as if it is visible. It looks dense and gloomy at first. From Gao Jian's direction, it seems to be about three or four feet long.

According to the scale, this thing is probably about one or two miles high.

The clouds were golden, like a standing snake with a mushroom on its head that seemed to be about to bloom. They rose vigorously, all made of the smell of incense, and condensed in the county town about forty or fifty miles away.

There was so much incense that even this kind of incense cloud appeared!

"Is it the incense of all the righteous gods in the entire county?" Gao Jian immediately realized something.

Damn you, you are really a thorn in my side, the Zuo family.

They actually relied on some means that Gao Jian didn't know about now to absorb the incense of all the righteous gods in the entire county to gather their own divine generals!

I had only rested on the road for less than half an hour when they had already found my position and rushed over!
Tsk, Gao Jian actually knew they were coming, but he didn't expect they would use such means!

Moreover, they found Gao Jian in this way. Gao Jian had rolled around in the underworld before, so any marks on his body should have been washed away.

But no matter what, they were discovered, and the Zuo family had already taken action.

In that case, let’s take it.

Seeing that the incense cloud had already taken shape, it was estimated that the gods or something else below had already completely descended.

It is very likely that it is not a divine general, but something else.

For example...'superior gods' or something like that.

Although he did not understand what a 'superior god' was, but hearing the name, he knew that it was probably not something that could be easily dealt with. Judging from the Zuo family's cautious approach, it was probably at the level of the sixth realm.

The first time, there were three fourth realms, and the second time, there was one fifth realm, both of which failed. Could it be that Zuo An took action personally this time? It is very likely.

If I guess correctly...

It really is... very stressful.

Gao Jian thought to himself that it was probably too late to run now.

This place is dozens of miles away from the county town. Even if the Zuo family's general accelerates with all his strength, regardless of consumption, and runs at the maximum speed, it will only take two or three minutes to arrive.

Then the only option is to kill him.

Take another look around.

The little foxes were chopping Gao Jian with knives and axes, but the attacks did not leave even white marks on Gao Jian's body, only tore his clothes.

As for Bai Lingqing in his hand, she was about to lose consciousness. This was a sign that her soul was unable to handle the charm, and she was about to faint.

So Gao Jian raised his hand and hit her on the back of the head with a knife, knocking her out accurately.

If you get dizzy, you won’t be able to handle Shen Yun.

Then, he looked at the little foxes and said, "Your sister is in danger! Your village is also in danger. Take your sister and hide far away. Gather the villagers and find a place to hide."

As he said this, he threw the unconscious Bai Lingqing to these little foxes.

The little foxes were startled, and hurriedly grabbed their sister, carried her together, and ran away with a whoosh.

Then, Gao Jian turned around and took a look at the burning firewood and the salvia miltiorrhiza in it.

He just glanced at it, then turned around and jumped! He rushed in the direction of the dragon!

Since the opponent was going to chase him, he should just take him for a walk. At least he couldn't fight in a populated area. Besides...what if the opponent couldn't outrun the dragon? Right?
Gao Jian turned around and started running.

----------

At the same time, in the county town.

This place is a small county on the border of Cangzhou, called Duozhou County. The name comes from the fact that it used to be a shipbuilding site. There are many large forests around it, with countless towering spiritual trees and magical trees, which can be used to build ships. The Wang family, one of the Cangzhou families (see Chapter 54 for details), set up many workshops here.

But later, the forest in this place was completely cut down, and the spiritual trees and demon trees that were hundreds of thousands of years old were almost all cut down, so the Wang family moved all the people and equipment here away.

After they moved away, Duozhou County declined and became less popular, completely bidding farewell to its former prosperity, but there are still people living here all year round.

At this moment, under the arrangement of some force, all the incense gods in Duozhou County were stripped of their incense aura at this moment.

With this, the left bank, comes here.

But it is not the real body, but the "divine body" that descended through the golden body of incense and burning.

"Zuo Qing, your stuff is really useful." Zuo An said to the air.

At the same time, in the inner city of Cangzhou, in the garden of the Zuo family, Zuo Qing was stroking his mustache and said lightly: "Second Uncle, I have just implemented the Zuo family's method. This is just a trial. Please help me find any omissions."

"Also, this matter must be kept secret. If the gods from other places knew that my ritual method has arranged the upper and lower levels, it would be bad and would easily lead to failure in its implementation."

Zuo An nodded: "I know. To be honest, when I promoted the blood sacrifice before, you tried your best to stop it. I thought you were weak. Now it seems that I misjudged you. The old ancestor has better vision than me."

A long time ago, when Zuo An was still the helmsman, he saw the needs of the Baishanjiang water tribe and seized the opportunity. He joined forces with the Baishanjiang water tribe to kill a real dragon, and used this as an opportunity to carry out blood sacrifices. He completely controlled the gods of Cangzhou and killed all the gods that did not belong to him. He even borrowed the power of the water tribe to actually control 70% to 80% of the water transportation, bringing the Zuo family a prosperous situation of "a long hand".

At that time, Zuo Qing strongly opposed it, thinking that blood sacrifice was not acceptable. Although using humans to feed the gods could control the gods, it also caused bad changes in the Zuo family, which was wrong.

Zuo An felt that the young man was weak and useless, so he banished him to the ancient battlefield.

But now, Zuo Qing has been re-employed by the ancestor, and Zuo An himself has gone to the ancient battlefield, and the situation has reversed.

But... Zuo Qing took the initiative to extend an olive branch.

He showed the 'Fa' to Zuo An.

Zuo Qing set up the status of gods, set up the rituals of superiors and subordinates, and set up the specifications for sacrificial offerings, changing the original situation where gods only had classifications but no superiors and subordinates.

Then, he condensed these into divine charm and distributed them to various counties in Cangzhou, and then from the counties to each god.

Through the incense burners of the court, he could actually understand the specific implementation methods of the gods, and now... it was an attempt.

Try the power of Dharma.

Gods are ranked according to their duties; this is the principle of heaven and earth.

The wonder of upper and lower is that Qian and Kun are determined and upper and lower are divided, and the high and low are in order. Those with different names and positions can inherit the way of the clan and arise on the day when the reason is determined. What kind of high position the gods are in, how to pray and offer sacrifices, distinguish the high and the low, and show the virtue. In this way, food can be eaten in order, and the high and the low are not different.

Once this law is established, from then on, the noble and humble, the rich and poor, the high and low, all have order, and naturally the upper and lower minds are in harmony, and the big and small are in harmony. This is called "accomplishing it silently, and believing it without saying anything."

This is to use the power of 'Dharma' to control the gods.

Since there are up and down, it is natural for the upper to control the lower.

The so-called higher gods are actually a set of "mechanisms" currently implemented by the Zuo family.

Before this, the Zuo family controlled the gods by using blood sacrifices, binding them to the Zuo family. If they left the Zuo family, they would not be able to enjoy the blood sacrifices.

But now, things have changed.

Why were so many generals willing to work for the Zuo family before?
Why can the shamans of the Zuo family gain the support of the gods?
Because, in the past, the Zuo family would pay sufficient compensation, and this compensation was a blood sacrifice.

But now, Zuo Qing wants to reverse this practice.

He was not going to offer direct rewards, but instead provided a complete path for promotion, including strategies on how to be dominated by higher-level gods and how to dominate lower-level gods.

Food is rewarded for work and salary is awarded for merit, and each receives a higher title according to his/her rate.

By adjusting the hierarchy and food and salary at all levels, the gods are provided with what they need, so as to gain their loyalty through the system and replace the barbaric method of "blood sacrifice".

At the same time, this "law" is also used to control all gods. If a higher-level god wants to become a higher-level god, he must be recognized by the Zuo family and become a part of the "system".

All your wealth and splendor, all your means of spiritual practice, and even the ingredients for sacrifices and the incense you receive are no longer yours alone, but are attached to the entire system. They first pass through the system and are then allocated to you from within the system.

Once you leave the system, you will be nothing and become a "wild god". Your cultivation will be wasted by 40% to 50%. The originally high and mighty god will be reduced to a monster.

It is not because the monster is worshipped that he becomes a god, but because he is recognized by the Zuo family that he becomes a god.

This is the power of Dharma.

It’s like some high-ranking beings. The reason they are in high positions is not because of their abilities, but because of their position in the system.

When they retire in old age and other people take up their positions in the system, they will instantly go from being sought after by thousands of people to being ignored by everyone, because everyone cares about their position, not them personally.

That position is determined by the law, not by a specific god. All gods can be replaced.

In this way, 'Dharma' replaces 'God'.

Therefore, other people will start to advocate the system, that there only needs to be one God, and it doesn't matter who the God is. As long as the "law" still holds true, then the God can be anyone. The Zuo family can pull out anyone and they can become a God and inherit that position.

Whoever becomes a god must be dependent on the Zuo family.

As for other gods mastering the incense method? For example, the one that Gao Jian taught to other families is completely meaningless and has been cracked.

No matter what abilities they have, as long as they do not integrate into this system, they will not be able to gain a foothold in Cangzhou.

In this way, in Cangzhou, the reason why gods are gods is entirely determined by the Zuo family.

Law is a model. The flow of water is unsteady, but law can regulate it. Within the model, molten iron can also be regulated. The essence of law is ultimately reflected in its restrictiveness.

Follow the procedures of the world, establish the standards for all things, establish the ethics of nobility and inferiority, and examine the duties of various skills.

Once this system is established, and supplemented by the magic itself, the Zuo family's position will be as stable as Mount Tai. Even without the Baishanjiang tribe, they can still be safe and worry-free, without any frivolous appearance.

Because, by then, even if they wanted to target the Zuo family, they wouldn’t be able to do it.

You think you have a knife and you have violence, but can you find the target of your violence?

When the law is established, your enemies will be everywhere you look.

Unless you conquer the entire Cangzhou, you will be unable to do anything to the Zuo family. The Zuo family will just be parasitic on the land of Cangzhou, just like the Shui family.

After seeing all this, Zuo An couldn't help but admire it, it was indeed a good idea.

No matter what, there will be no stupid people who can be chosen to be the helmsman of a noble family. Just like Zuo An led the Zuo family to become a "long hand" hundreds of years ago, Zuo Qing also seems to be able to lead the Zuo family and stabilize his position in Cangzhou.

So, Zuo An and Zuo Qing reached a consensus.

And today is the test of the 'Dharma'.

About how the "law" controls the lower gods, and how the Zuo family uses the sacrificial system to manipulate the incense atmosphere of the entire Cangzhou.

By the way... let Zuo An take action remotely and kill Gao Jian.

Zuo An felt the power in front of him. By depriving the entire county of the incense and energy and condensing it into a divine body, he could indeed project the power here remotely.

In this way, the power of the gods does not come from themselves, but from their thrones. And who owns the throne depends on the Zuo family's own arrangement.

Zuo An thinks this is a good idea.

They are all members of the Zuo family, and he is now looking forward to what Zuo Qing will do next.

However... the prerequisite is that this set of "methods" can be completed.

In order to accomplish all of this, one needs to be able to control the incense and the deity.

It is necessary to ensure that the higher gods have priority control over the incense and the aroma, to ensure that the gods have a stable source of incense and the aroma, and to ensure that the Zuo family can maintain the operation of this set of magic.

Zuoqing needs a county to test.

Deprive this county of its aura of worship, and let the Zuo family take control of it. After that... get rid of all the gods in this county, and replace them with a group of gods of the same realm to see if they can inherit perfectly.

Even if they cannot inherit perfectly, as long as they inherit 70% to 80%, it means they can do it. They can control the gods through the system without having to use blood sacrifices to feed the gods.

If not, then further improvements in techniques will be needed.

So, Zuo An volunteered. He could recognize Zuo Qing and support him to stay at the helm, but he needed a little help.

He had already learned of Gao Jian's whereabouts in advance, and was thinking about how to start and how to deploy his strength. The five realms had disappeared without a trace before, so he was afraid that there was someone behind him.

But because he lost the position of "helmsman", he was actually unable to command the wizards of the other six realms. In fact, there was a rudimentary form of "law" within the Zuo family.

As the helmsman, even if he is at the fifth or sixth realm, he can still mobilize the high-end combat forces at the eighth or ninth realm in the family, and he is even qualified to ask the ancestors for action. The ancestors may not go, but they must listen to what you say.

This is also the reason why Zuo An believes it.

Moreover, Zuo Qing also seemed to want to negotiate with him.

The two sides hit it off immediately, and at Zuo'an's suggestion, the location of the experiment was set in the intelligence. According to the intelligence, Gao Jian would come to that town.

Moreover, if he had the excuse of "experiment", he could throw Zuo An himself into the battlefield and also pull himself out without being retaliated against.

Because... this experiment is very important, and the Zuo family will kill everyone in this county who knows about this experiment.

This is something Zuo An cannot do on his own.

If Zuo An had done it himself, it would have been impossible for him to mobilize so many resources, or even ask his ancestor who was in seclusion to take temporary action and personally conceal the secret and cover up this action.

No one would know that Zuo An used Zuo Qing’s methods to project power here, and no one would know about this place.

Everything was arranged just right.

Gao Jian could only passively take the beatings; this was the pressure he faced from the aristocratic families.

Less than half a month had passed since Gao Jian killed the remaining members of the Baishanjiang water tribe. Except for the few days when he was absolutely safe in the ancient battlefield camp of the Demon Suppression Division, Gao Jian was attacked almost every time he went out, and the intensity of the attacks was increasing.

At first, there were three at the fourth realm, then the fifth realm, and later it was Zuo An, a veteran at the sixth realm, who took action personally, and by the way tested the effect of the new "method".

It's not at any cost, but I must kill Gao Jian and won't show any leniency. Gao Jian may be a threat in the future, so there is no delay!

This is the intensity of revenge that really provoked the noble family! The intensity of the attack that really made the noble family feel "threatened"!

At this moment, the golden body of incense has been completely condensed.

Left Bank, coming!
He glanced at his current physical body, which was condensed from the incense and golden bodies of all the local gods.

By now these gods should have fallen into coma due to the forced deprivation of the incense aroma. Later, someone will come and kill all of these gods.

They cannot know that the Zuo family has the ability to deprive the incense offerings. If it gets out, it will have a very bad impact on the Zuo family's next step in implementing the "Law", so they all have to die.

Afterwards, a new god will come to take over and take away the incense that has been deprived to see how much he can inherit.

For Zuo An, this is a good opportunity to kill Gao Jian, and he will not let it go.

For Zuo Qing, this is a good opportunity to gain the reconciliation of the previous helmsman and to verify his own ideas and strategies. He must prove himself once and for all.

For Zuo Lang, the ancestor of the Zuo family, this may be a chance for the family to continue to remain as stable as a rock. He needs to ensure that other families cannot detect what is happening here.

Everything fits here.

Zuo An didn't think there would be any problem this time. Even if Gao Jian had any trump cards, he would have no room to use them at this moment.

He has taken action personally, what kind of trouble can a person in the third realm cause?
He controls the golden body and his soul resides in it.

Although he did not come in person, as a sorcerer, his physical strength is not his strong point. He also carries the Ghost Five Wood with him, which gives him 60% of his combat power.

Then, the golden body flew up.

Gao Jian's location has been found, and it is the place where the smell of incense could not reach just now.

It's a small village.

He can't run away.

The left bank flew quickly forward!
He had already anticipated that Gao Jian would definitely run away.

In less than two or three minutes, he had arrived at the village. There seemed to be no one in the village. They must have all been hiding.

Feel it...the popularity is down there, it seems like a cellar.

Looking at Gao Jian again, his mount is very conspicuous and makes a lot of noise, so it is not difficult to find.

The dragon walks on the clouds and spews fire and smoke when it runs. If you want to show its power, it is really a horse. When it gallops, you can see the fire clouds shining and spreading out, accompanied by the strong sound of horse hooves, as if the clouds of thunder and fire have descended on the earth.

But the problem is that it can’t be contained…

Therefore, it can be clearly seen that Gao Jian's Pegasus has run away into the distance.

But it doesn’t matter, there’s no need to even chase after it.

Zuo'an reached out and gently pointed towards the village below.

Magic burst out from his fingertips.

The whole village seemed to be shrouded by some mysterious thing.

Immediately afterwards, Zuo An raised his hand, and a tree below rose from the ground. The tree was disassembled in the air and, under an invisible force, turned into matchstick-sized sticks.

Under Zuo An's control, these wooden sticks were quickly assembled in mid-air in an extremely sophisticated manner.

Some formed beams, some formed roofs, some formed fields, some formed cellars, some formed trees, and some were carved into the shapes of human heads and hands and placed in different cellars. They looked like carefully assembled "simulated sculptures", the kind of imitation miniature models made for filming movies.

Then, he raised his hand lightly and used his fingers to lift one of the houses in the miniature models away.

Boom!
The house in reality was also blown away by a huge force that came from nowhere, and the whole house exploded! Smoke and dust rose up, and the sound waves rolled away!

Shamans can control the things of witchcraft, sacrificial offerings, and curses, and use them as a method of warding off resentment and cursing.

Some witches and sorcerers can make various talismans with copper, iron and five kinds of weapons. When they see a house that is affected by evil, they will perform talismans and hang objects of the five elements, such as gold, wood, water and fire. If the year is a year of evil for the west family, the west family will hang gold; if the year is a year of evil for the east family, the east family will hang charcoal. They will hold sacrifices to get rid of the evil, or move to the empty house to avoid the disaster. People will imitate this and all think it is true.

There is also the art of shooting puppets, which involves making a puppet of the enemy out of wood, clay or paper, and shooting it with arrows or pricking it with needles, so that the enemy can be killed suddenly.

As Zuo An is good at the wood element, and using Guiwu Wood as his foundation, he is able to use wooden puppets to connect the village itself with these miniature models.

Shamans also have the method of "replacing lives". When they are about to die, they let other things block the disaster for them, such as their own puppets, other people's lives, to let others block the disaster for themselves, or other things. The principle is similar to that of shooting puppets, which is to transfer the damage to specific things.

Now, he has included all the surrounding terrain into himself.

Zuo An did not pursue Gao Jian.

He simply raised his hand and crushed another empty house.

This time, another house exploded out of nowhere, shaking the ground.

It can be seen in this miniature model that the matchstick-sized figures are huddled together in the cellar.

Yes, that's right, this miniature model in front of us, in addition to being able to influence each other, can also serve as a real-time updated holographic map, constantly reflecting everything happening below.

These people gathered together, they must be very scared.

Well, let them get together the first two times, and the third time, you can take action.

Zuo An stretched out his hand and pressed down on the people in the cellar in the miniature model.

If it was true, at least dozens of ordinary villagers who had no idea what was going to happen would die. Moreover, the explosion happened without any warning or trace on the spot.

So, you can imagine how scared they were.

But Zuo'an doesn't care about that.

His hand was about to touch those villains.

The next moment, a long knife came crashing down from not far away!
Zuo An immediately withdrew his hand and pushed the long sword away with one hand.

He didn't dare to take it head-on. Last time, he was injured by this knife, so he just knocked it away.

However, it was just as he expected.

The horse over there is just a bait. There is no one on it.

Gao Jian is very smart. He is also a good man and a reckless man. These three things have been confirmed over and over again many times.

So first, he would set traps, sleight of hand, and sneak attacks.

Second, when he faced these mortals, what he thought about was never whether to save them or not, but how to save them and how to save as many people as possible.

Third, in a hurry, he would abandon those advance settings and show up directly.

Everything was within Zuo'an's expectations.

"General Gao, you finally show up." Zuo An stared at Gao Jian.

He deliberately knocked the knife far away. The opponent should be unarmed now.

and many more.

It's that knife, the shape and smell are similar.

But it wasn’t Gao Jian who threw the knife!
"Hey! What are you standing there for?!" As that person gave an order, a huge sword energy emerged from his body!

The sword energy surged, the sword arrived before the sword, the fierce sword intent made people afraid, and they dared not take it lightly!

"Ten thousand beasts, gallop!" A flashy move was shouted out loudly!

It’s Zou Shu!

He is here!
The sound of the collision was like thunder and lightning! Smoke and dust rose up all around, and the smoke and dust on the ground were engulfed by the sword energy and transformed into the appearance of countless strange beasts!

These strange beasts are shaped like tigers, but have cow's tails, and their roars sound like dogs.

On the Fu Yu Mountain, there is a beast that looks like a tiger with an ox's tail. It makes a sound like a barking dog. Its name is Zhui, and it eats people.

Hundreds of pigs made of sword energy and smoke began to gallop, sweeping with strong winds as they moved. The smoke and dust surged like tides, and the cries of strange beasts and monkeys were like screams rushing from the sky, unrestrained and rapid!

So many huge beasts flew towards the left bank like heavy rain and lightning.

At the same time, it can be seen that in the "miniature model" on the left bank, a corresponding group of animals composed of many wood chips also appeared.

A complete replica of the battlefield, exactly the same.

Zuo An's expression didn't change at all, he just placed his hand on the miniature model.

Unexpected……

In the sky, a giant hand pressed down.

That hand is exactly the same as the one on the left bank!
The giant hand slapped the beasts.

With just one blow, the herd of beasts was smashed to pieces and the sword intent collapsed.

The giant hand did not stop and continued to move forward.

The 'miniature models' were also being laid out! Soon, a small matchstick was carved into the shape of Zou Shu, which was very lifelike!

Zou Shu has also appeared in the miniature model!

Seeing that the giant hand was about to touch him, he immediately retreated, twisting and turning, and ran very fast!
He had just run away when the giant hand fell to the ground with a loud bang. The ground shook and collapsed. If he was caught in the act, he would have been turned into meat paste on the spot!
But, even if one is dodged, there is still one left!
The second giant hand followed closely, and at the same time, the first giant hand actually made a hand gesture in mid-air, and countless little ghosts appeared out of thin air surrounded by countless runes.

But don’t forget, Zuo’an is a ghost witch!

He is not good at commanding the gods, but when it comes to commanding the little ghosts or even the evil spirits, he can do it easily and with ease!

But countless ghosts appeared out of thin air, countless evil spirits, including lampstand ghosts, painted skin ghosts, water ghosts, hanged ghosts, knife ghosts, disheveled ghosts, hideous ghosts, hanging boots ghosts, headless ghosts, smelly mouth ghosts, poor ghosts, and so on. There were even two cold-faced ghosts, holding iron hooks and chains, standing in front!
While Zou Shu was dodging the giant hand's pursuit, he saw the two cold-faced messengers swinging the iron hooks and chains in their hands, and then suddenly throwing them at him.

Zou Shu swung his sword, and the sword energy was so powerful that it seemed as if he was going to swing away the iron hooks and chains.

However, the two iron hooks seemed to have eyes, leaping and moving in the air, and actually avoided the sword energy!
Zou Shu drew his sword again, but this time he didn't have time to shout out any moves, he just blocked an iron hook.

The second one was too difficult to dodge. Zou Shu lost his balance and fell to the ground. His calf was lightly touched by the iron hook, and his whole leg instantly turned into a bloody mess!
However, simply losing a leg could not stop a fourth-level warrior from taking action. He rolled on the ground to avoid the subsequent blows from the giant hand, and swallowed a pill while dragging his broken leg.

Then he yelled, "Hurry up! I can't hold on any longer!"
