Whale Falls and Becomes a God

Chapter 160: Riot
The Fengming Army has already set out, and Fengming King Li Zitong and other high-ranking officials naturally would not leave the army. They also packed up and prepared to leave with the army.

Before leaving the palace, a servant reported: "Your Highness! Many experts have come from outside the palace, from all directions!"

"Prince Jingwu's bounty...someone actually dared to accept it! How they underestimated me!"

Li Zitong narrowed his eyes slightly, sneered with an unpleasant expression, and then laughed heartily and waved his hand:
"Haha... Let's go! Let's go meet those heroes and test my worth!"

Although there was no careful observation and investigation, Li Zitong and others knew that the person lurking outside the government office was a gangster.

The rebel kings, big bandits and other forces would not be so stupid as to send experts to assassinate them now. After all, the Fengming Army is not a decoration. Not only will the assassins easily fall into the army, but it will also be an advantage for the Sui army.

After a while...

Five thousand Fengming Guards in fine helmets and armor gathered in the vast courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion, surrounded by Li Zitong and other high-ranking Fengming Army members, as well as dozens of dedicated masters, and slowly and orderly left the mansion.

Li Zitong seemed to look down on those assassins, but now he was fully armed, wearing a gilded Fengming helmet, a feather-scale Fengxiang armor, a sword on his waist, and holding the famous five-hook flying silver spear. Not to mention that he was surrounded by 5,000 Fengming guards and protected him.

Fengming Guards are mainly composed of veterans who were the first to follow Li Zitong in his campaigns. After Li Zitong became prosperous and proclaimed himself King Fengming, they invested heavily in building up semi-heavy armored infantry. Their average realm is that of an eighth-grade Ming Jin, and they are battle-hardened and experienced. They are truly Xuan-level soldiers and are quite well-known.

According to unofficial historical records, Li Zitong was a close friend of Wu Jianzhang, the King of Loyalty and Filial Piety, and the father-in-law of Wu Yunzhao, the Marquis of Nanyang. He was the commander-in-chief of Fengming Pass, one of the twelve passes of the Sui Dynasty. The Fengming Guards were the elite among the veterans of Fengming Pass.

However, the age and year do not match. Li Zitong is actually a relative from Wu Yunzhao's mother's side. He is Wu Yunzhao's cousin, not his father-in-law.

Regardless of his identity, Li Zitong was a brave and experienced general, a rebel king who rose to power through bravery and fighting. He was not like the rebel king Shen Faxing, the King of Shangliang, who rose to power by relying on his own identity (prefect of Wuxing County) and family power (Shen family of Wu County) but was personally weak.

The Five-Hooked Flying Silver Spear is one of the ten most famous magic spears in the world. All of its users are top generals and warriors in the world. It is conceivable that Li Zitong's personal combat power is so great that he can be said to be a master of spearmanship!

"Step! Step! Step..."

The Fengming Guards poured out of the City Lord's Mansion one after another. Their footsteps were heavy and orderly, and there was also a terrifying sound of metal rubbing against each other. They were like a steel jungle, with an awe-inspiring momentum.

The masters from all sides who were densely distributed around the City Lord's Mansion quickly followed suit, but they each stayed in one side in a tacit understanding and did not start an internal conflict before the battle!
Li Zitong was fully armed and riding on the famous horse Stepping on Snow Red Cloud. He seemed to be walking slowly and calmly, but he was holding the magic spear all the time. He was surrounded by Fengming generals and priests, especially the three birds and four beasts, seven notorious gangsters, who were following closely on his left and right.

The three birds and four beasts refer to the three birds, the red eagle, the blood eagle and the wind hawk, and the four beasts, the iron ape, the violent bear, the night leopard and the ghost tiger. They are all notorious and vicious monsters in the martial arts world. They are all top-three powerful men with extraordinary strength and cruel methods. There are also rumors of cannibalism and evidence of indiscriminate killing of innocent people in towns and villages. However, they are not from the evil sect, nor do they belong to the righteous path, so they are called evil people in the underworld!

This shows that although Li Zitong is rumored to be kind and generous, and is quite popular and has a good reputation, in reality he is not that good, otherwise he would not have recruited and subdued these seven fierce beasts.

"Do it!"

A soft shout shook the silent atmosphere, which was only filled with the sound of the Fengming Guards marching.

The sound of dense and continuous sharp weapons breaking through the air was heard. Various attacks such as sharp arrows, crossbows, darts, needles, sword energy and knife light first broke out from the south side. There was also a nauseating poisonous fog, and hundreds of figures as fast as rabbits and falcons rushed straight to where Li Zitong was.

Surrounded from all sides, it was the group of wandering warriors who couldn't help but take action first. They were the largest in number, at least two or three hundred people.

Li Zitong, General Fengming, the three birds and four beasts seemed to stop calmly without making any big moves. They seemed to be confident in self-preservation and calmly watched their prey die.

The Fengming Guards reacted quickly, countless half-human-high shields raised, swords and spears facing each other, and crossbows fired. A visible murderous aura began to grow and spread, and a terrifying pressure gradually emerged and intensified...

"Amitabha! Quick victory, go!"

Seeing the iron-blooded murderous spirit growing and the mighty military power emerging, people from all parties could no longer sit still!

On the east side, Buddhists, led by Damu Temple in Tianmu Ancient City, poured out from rooftops, inside houses, corners of walls, corners, etc. There were more than a hundred of them, most of whom had Dan Jin of the fifth grade or above. They quickly gathered into a swift torrent and rushed straight to where Li Zitong was.

"Arhat Demon Subduing Formation!"

When more than a hundred monks rushed out, they quickly formed a formation, either with relics of Buddha's light or Arhat's Dharma image, vaguely condensing into a huge Arhat formation that was over a hundred meters in size and awe-inspiring. They rushed towards the Fengmingwei formation that was like a steel jungle like war machines.

Don’t think that there are no formations in the martial arts world. The Buddhist formations are famous all over the world!
As the saying goes, the people should not fight against the officials, let alone the Damu Temple which is also located in the Tianmu Ancient City.

However, due to the strict order from the Buddhist holy land Qiling Temple and the payment of a certain price, the monks of Damu Temple had to take action. This is the strength of the Buddhist forces and the power of Qiling Temple!
There was no other way. The Demon Sect had won first place in the Battle of Hailing and received a staggering reward. In contrast, the Qiling Temple was repeatedly questioned and criticized by Empress Xiao and Prince Jingwu, forcing them to take some action and make some noise!

"Chi! Chi! Chi..."

The people from the Taoist sect on the west side could no longer sit still. Sixty or seventy figures swooped down like eagles, with sharp sword energy and dazzling sword light.

"Big Dipper Formation!"

Among them, more than a dozen Taoists quickly flew through the air and condensed into a mist ball with bright starlight, as if they were riding on clouds, intending to cross the Fengming Guard formation and attack King Fengming!
"Miss (Saint)?!"

Seeing that all three parties had come out and it was indeed impossible for the Fengming Guards to form a successful formation, the people from the Demon Sect could not help but look at Yin Wan'er anxiously, and some of them could not help but shout.

"on!"

At Yin Wan'er's command, more than thirty powerful demon sect warriors rushed out quickly. There was no formation to speak of, but each one was stronger, and their tracks were more hidden and erratic!
However, Yin Wan'er, Xi Muyu and Mu Guxuan were still standing on the north side of the pavilion overlooking the battle, without taking any action!
Generally speaking, the Demon Sect on the north side has the fewest members, but the highest quality. The South side has the most independent members, but the quality is uneven. The Buddhist and Taoist sects on the east and west sides are both in the middle.

"How dare you! How dare you assassinate the prince?!"

"court death!"

"Come die!!"

All kinds of shouts, screams, and roars suddenly filled the air.

Of the two or three hundred scattered men, thirty or forty were shot dead in an instant, reducing the number of personnel by more than one-tenth.

The rest quickly rushed into the Fengming Guard formation and engaged in a fierce battle with the Fengming Guard, leaving no time or opportunity for a second wave of shooting.

Some powerful men directly flew over Fengmingwei and attacked Li Zitong and others in the formation.

"Jie Jie..."

Li Zitong sat high on his snow-covered red cloud horse with a grim face, watching the battle situation quietly.

A burst of strange laughter that made people's teeth ache and their hearts tremble arose. The red eagle, the leader of the three birds... the red-handed magic eagle, flew up as fast as a hurricane and blocked a second-grade powerful man who was swooping down from the sky.

The four beasts stood up consciously in all directions, like four giant shields and iron towers, standing tall and unshakable.

The three birds and four beasts, as the name suggests, the three birds are famous for their speed, and the four beasts are famous for their bravery and strength.

The Three Birds were originally seven sworn brothers who shared a common interest. They also included Xiao, Peng, Ying, and Falcon, and were originally known as the Seven Birds. However, they were successively killed, and now only three remain. This is one of the main reasons why they chose to join King Fengming!

The four beasts were not sworn brothers. It was purely by chance and the survival of the fittest that they stood out from the many offerings of King Fengming and formed the four famous beasts!

"Roar……"

Among the Buddhists on the east side, a second-rank divine general monk, unleashing his Vajra form and his indestructible body, charged headfirst into the Fengming Guard formation, fiercely clearing a path for the Buddhists. This was the renowned Tianmu Vajra of Damu Temple. Beyond his majestic and imposing form, his eyes were like the blazing sun, impossible to gaze upon. He focused on physical cultivation and aura, and possessed mysterious pupil techniques. Anyone with a glare from a significantly different realm would be killed!
The so-called angry eyes of the King Kong only kill and never save!

Tianmu Vajra holds the demon-subduing rod in his hand, and with every move he makes, he exerts a force of ten thousand pounds, sweeping across the eight directions. Anyone who stands in his way is defeated, anyone who touches him is injured, and anyone who is touched will die. He is extremely ferocious and cruel!

"boom……"

The Iron Ape, the leader of the four beasts...the Blood-Clothed Iron Ape, smashed towards the Sky-Eyed Vajra with a stick. The loud noise was deafening and the fierce gust of wind directly cleared the space within a dozen meters!
The two of them were like giant iron men, fighting each other fiercely in an instant with astonishing momentum!

Mixed iron rod versus demon-subduing rod, iron ape versus King Kong...

Whether it is the "Arhat Subduing Demon Formation" or the "Big Dipper Formation", their main function is to offset the military power and break the Fengming Guard formation, but it is difficult to kill through the dense and numerous Fengming Guards who are like a copper wall and iron barrier.

Whether it can be accomplished or not, it will ultimately depend on those powerful people, those below the third rank mainly play a restraining role!

"Seven rays are crossing the sky!"

Breaking through the Fengming Guard formation, the "Big Dipper Formation" suddenly burst out with a dazzling light, and countless sharp sword energies burst out, as powerful as a rain of arrows. Thirty or forty Fengming Guards fell down, the air was filled with blood, and even the armor that was more than an inch long was torn to pieces!
"Hey..."

In the dazzling light, a figure rushed out like the wind, and the sword shot out like lightning, cutting through the sky with a sharp sound, and pierced Li Zitong who had been sitting steadily on his mount!
This is a formation within a formation, or rather, a sword within a formation that confuses the mind!
"Rumble..."

The blood-belly violent bear, one of the four violent bears, slaps down with a palm-leaf fan-like palm, and its power can break mountains and split the earth.

The sudden attacking Taoist abruptly moved away mid-air, not daring to confront the violent bear's powerful palm. Even the sword light was shattered. However, the shattered sword light still shattered the clothes of the blood-bellied violent bear, which was like a mountain of flesh, leaving bloody marks on its trembling body... breaking the defense!
"Good! Good! Good! Good..."

Looking down at the bloody belly, the bloody bear grinned like a fool, and then slapped the Taoist who was dodging in the air again!

"The sky and the earth are boundless, the universe borrows the law, the Thunder God decrees..."

At the same time, the four Taoists in ancient robes sitting in the back pinched their fingers and made seals to cast a spell:
"Thundercloud Storm, Five Thunders Righteousness!"

"Rumble..."

Lightning flashed, and miniature thunderclouds tens of meters in size emerged. Dozens of lightning bolts roared and struck Li Zitong!
The priests and generals who guarded Li Zitong took timely action to block the thunders.

"Chi! Chi! Chi..."

As soon as the thunder and lightning fell, another figure jumped out in the dazzling light, with a dazzling sword light and sharp sword energy.

The second way, the third way, the fourth way...

This is not a change of the "Big Dipper Formation", but a formation with swords hidden in it. There are seven sword masters hiding there, launching a surprise attack!

"Hmph! It's so fancy!"

Five sword beams burst out in succession, all of which were blocked and stopped. The sixth and seventh followed closely behind...

Li Zitong snorted disdainfully, and the divine spear in his hand shot out like lightning, the spear shot out like a dragon, accurately shattering the sixth sword energy and heading towards the seventh sword energy...

"boom……"

Seven Stars and Seven Swords, each sword is stronger than the last.

Although the strongest seventh sword was broken by Li Zitong, it also caused the spear to deviate and almost fly out of his hand!

"Heavenly Magic Field!"

The formation, thunder and sword techniques complemented each other and were linked together. After surviving the triple explosion, Li Zitong breathed a sigh of relief!

A graceful, ethereal figure swept through the dense and chaotic battlefield like the wind. Wherever it passed, whether it was sharp arrows, powerful crossbows, or powerful soldiers, they were all repelled by the invisible force field...

The silk was as nimble and flexible as a snake, shooting straight at Li Zitong, with a sharp and intimidating weapon at the end!

"The Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Demon?!"

Li Zitong's heart trembled, and he didn't have time to retract the spear in his hand. He drew his sword with his left hand like lightning and slashed at the sharp weapon at the end of the silk!
"Ding……"

A crisp metallic clang sounded, and Li Zitong slashed the cold light with his sword as he wished...

Before he could even breathe, a graceful and beautiful figure appeared in the midst of the dancing silk, and slapped Li Zitong on the chest...

"puff……"

Li Zitong flew backwards on the spot, spitting blood from his mouth. He felt as if his internal organs were burning and everything seemed to be shattered!
"This is a warning. Any traitor will be killed!"

As he was severely injured and fell, a chilling voice rang out...

This is the Demon Sect’s warning to Fengming King Li Zitong!

"My Lord?!!!"

With such a sudden change, everyone around was fighting fiercely... King Fengming, the attendants, the generals, etc. were all shocked. Many of them risked their lives to rush towards Li Zitong, quickly covering and wrapping him up!
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"Step! Step! Step..."

The iron-blooded murderous cloud spread like a dark cloud covering the sky, and there were shouts of killing filling the ears, and footsteps shaking the ground!

The Fengming Army in the front has returned to defend in large numbers. The military might alone is like a mountain, an ocean, or a prison, making people feel suffocated!

"withdraw!"

Yin Wan'er looked deeply at Li Zitong, whose mouth was bleeding and whose face was filled with fear, and then looked at the countless soldiers who were rushing in like a wave. She gave a light shout, and quickly retreated like a light smoke, escaping quickly!
"Retreat (it's too late)!"

Shouts rose one after another. Looking at Li Zitong who was covered tightly and the overwhelming army, the people in the martial arts world were not stupid. They knew that the opportunity was lost, so they evacuated at high speed and showed their magical powers!
"Your Majesty?!"

Li Zitong, his body about to burst, was helped up by his trusted followers. They surrounded and protected him. He looked at the bloody mess with bloodshot eyes, gnashing his teeth and muttering:
"Jing! Wu! King!!!"

The short and fierce battle was full of chaos, and both sides suffered heavy losses.

The Fengming Guards, which were built with great expense and effort, lost more than a thousand people in the battle, nearly one-third of them.

Even two of Fengming's generals were killed in the battle, and only two birds and two beasts were left out of the three birds and four beasts... the Red Eagle, the Wind Hawk, the Iron Ape, and the Ghost Tiger!
It's tolerable...

This is unbearable!!!
