What's wrong with me, a powerful minister, supporting a few female officials?

Chapter 72 The Saintess! A Magical Artifact! A Battle of Wits!

The female centurion charged into the Longmen Cave battlefield with overwhelming momentum!

Su Mo could only hold Lin Moyin tightly!
The battle at the entrance of Longmen Grottoes was equally fierce!

More than a hundred bodies have already fallen to the ground!

Rivers of blood!
Cult members also know that once trapped in a cave, there is absolutely no chance of survival!

They frantically charged out of the cave!
The brainwashed cult members had no concept of surrender, making the battles even more brutal and bloody!
Often, before they die, they drag the Imperial Guards down with them!
Many of the bodies were found huddled together in death!
Suddenly, more than ten giants, each eight feet tall, emerged from the Longmen Cave. They were covered in heavy iron armor, just like the legendary Six Ding and Six Jia, and wielded ten-foot-long iron clubs with terrifying strength.

They actually routed the Imperial Guards, forcing them into a series of defeats.

In the blink of an eye, twenty or thirty Imperial Guards were smashed into a bloody pulp!
However, several skilled members of the Embroidered Uniform Guard also quickly went to meet them.

Almost all of them are first- or second-rate experts.

With their numerical advantage and well-trained battle formation, they managed to suppress the giant's charge!
Su Mo couldn't help but swallow hard!
Is this the Heavenly Mother Cult's trump card?

Lin Moyin snorted coldly, raised her sword and spear, and spurred her horse with her long legs, about to charge at one of the giant men!

Suddenly, a golden light flashed.

Lin Moyin crossed her straight sword and silver spear in front of her!

A loud bang.

The magnificent steed, Rouge, was shaken so badly that it staggered backward more than a dozen steps!
Su Mo, who was hiding behind Lin Moyin, also felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his whole body was in excruciating pain!
He looked in shock in the direction from which the golden light had come!
Suddenly, a giant locust, as big as a tiger or leopard, led thousands of flying locusts out of the Dragon Gate Cave!
Riding atop the giant locust was a petite woman in black, openwork armor, her face covered by a black veil, holding a pale gold pipa!
The woman in black armor saw that Lin Moyin had blocked one of her attacks.

A look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

With a flick of her delicate hand, her five fingers plucked the strings of the pipa!

Thunder roared, and golden lightning appeared out of nowhere.

It attacked Lin Moyin again!

Lin Moyin dropped her sword and spear without hesitation!
With a flick of her wrist, the fourth-grade magic weapon, the Sword Control Book, was already in her palm!

With a flick of the Jade Finger Sword Technique, two sword talismans appeared simultaneously, transforming into flying swords that slashed towards the golden lightning!

Amidst a deafening roar.

The flying sword and the golden lightning dissipated simultaneously!
The woman in black armor placed her golden pipa in front of her, halting her attack. She sized up Lin Moyin for a moment, then actually smiled: "Rare indeed!"

"A mere centurion of the Imperial Guard actually managed to withstand two consecutive attacks from this Holy Maiden!"

"No wonder he was able to become the chief commander of three counties!"

A fierce glint flashed in Lin Moyin's eyes as she stared intently at the black-armored woman riding the locust mother.

I originally thought that there was at most a deacon of the Heavenly Mother Sect in Longmen Grottoes.

Who would have thought she would be the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Mother Sect!

Now we are in big trouble!

I only wanted to catch a big fish, but instead a vicious dragon appeared!

The female centurion took a deep breath and snorted coldly: "So it's the demoness from the Heavenly Mother Cult!"

Her gaze then shifted downwards, landing on the pale gold pipa, and her pretty eyes narrowed slightly: "A treasure?"

The woman in black armor laughed, "You have good taste!"

"This Thunder Sound Pipa of this Holy Maiden is indeed a second-grade treasure!"

A strange light flashed in her eyes: "Your Sword Control Manual is not weak either, a fourth-grade magic weapon, which is rare, but it is still a little inferior to my pipa!"

The woman in black armor was completely oblivious to the Heavenly Mother Cult and the Six Ding Six Jia, and was engaged in fierce combat with the enemy.

She let out a breath and asked with great curiosity, "I thought this plan was flawless, but I didn't expect you to still find out."

"Could you tell me how you discovered it?"

Su Mo's heart tightened!
Lin Moyin sneered: "Dead people don't need to know so much!"

Without hesitation, he drew his sword and unleashed three sword energies simultaneously, forming a triangular shape as they slashed towards the woman in black armor!

The woman in black sighed: "Since you won't talk, then I have no choice but to kill you!"

Her jade-like fingers plucked the middle and lower strings of the pipa in succession.

Thunder exploded.

Two bolts of lightning, one thick and one thin, one fast and one slow, shot out at lightning speed!

Although the Thunder Sound Pipa is not as high-ranking as the Imperial Sword Book.

However, one is a precious artifact and the other is a magical artifact, which are qualitatively different!

The three sword energies were destroyed by the lightning bursting from the middle string.

Zi Xian unleashed a thin, swift bolt of lightning, instantly arriving in front of Lin Moyin!
Lin Moyin waved her right hand, condensing a stream of dark energy in front of her. The energy swirled around the golden lightning, and the golden lightning vanished without a trace.

The Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Mother Cult chuckled: "Excellent tactic!"

"However, if that's all you've got, you're probably going to die here!"

He spoke, but his hands never stopped moving.

Her jade-like fingers moved so fast they created illusory images as she swiftly plucked the strings of the zither.

An incredibly dense net of golden lightning bolts enveloped Lin Moyin.

Lin Moyin took a deep breath and shouted coldly, "Su Mo, activate the Golden Light Talisman!"

At the same time, her jade fingers formed swords, and streaks of pitch-black sword energy crisscrossed out, continuously slashing at the golden lightning net.

Su Mo dared not hesitate.

He quickly took out the jade talisman given to him by Lin Moyin and used his magic power.

With a flash of golden light, the jade talisman formed a faint golden bell around him, enveloping him, Lin Moyin, and the Rouge Horse!

Just as Lin Moyin was battling with the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Mother Sect.

A sweet shout rang out: "Senior sister, I'm here to lend you a hand!"

Su Mo turned her head to look.

Suddenly, the beautiful woman in black who had appeared earlier waved her hand, and two short swords flew out of her hand, intertwining with each other and surging towards the demoness of the Heavenly Mother Sect with unparalleled ferocity!

Su Mo was immediately taken aback.

Unexpectedly, this woman was also a Taoist sorcerer, and she even called Lin Moyin "Senior Sister"!
Is this sword control technique?
However, upon closer inspection, one could vaguely see two short swords, each tied with a thin rope, the ends of which were tied to the black-clad woman's wrists!

It turns out that he was controlling the short sword with two thin threads, not a true sword-controlling technique!

Not only the woman in black made a move.

A large spear, silent and swift, carrying an incomparably sharp aura, instantly shattered the swarm of insects and approached the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Mother Sect within a zhang (approximately 3.3 meters) of her!
Other cavalrymen who had killed the Heavenly Mother Cult members continued to approach this side!

The remaining eight giants of the Heavenly Mother Sect lined up in a row, wielding iron clubs, and using the terrain to their advantage, managed to keep the cavalry outside the narrow mountain pass!

The Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Mother Sect chuckled sweetly: "Using numbers to bully the few?"

"Does this saintess not know how to summon helpers?"

"Hmm, that should be enough dead people!"

As she spoke, she conjured a light veil, which transformed into a net to protect herself.

The short swords that shot towards them and the spears that stabbed from behind were all deflected by the light gauze net!

The mother locust flapped her wings.

They took the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Mother Sect with them and flew several feet into the sky.

With a flick of her hand, the saintess sent more than a dozen talismans wreathed in blood-red light flying in all directions!

Su Mo was shocked to see this.

The blood runes burrowed into the bodies of the deceased followers of the Heavenly Mother.

Then, one by one, the followers of the Heavenly Mother Sect stood up again in a bizarre manner!

Even more terrifying, the blood flowing on the ground kept converging on the "resurrected" followers of the Heavenly Mother!

In the blink of an eye.

A dozen or so blood-soaked corpses, emitting eerie blood mist, roared like wild beasts and charged directly at the nearby cavalry!

The blood corpse possessed terrifying and astonishing power, ten times more terrifying than the dried corpses Su Mo had seen before!
Completely disregarding swords and spears.

They easily knocked the cavalrymen and their horses to the ground!
The blood-soaked corpse was impervious to swords and spears, charging rampage through the cavalry with the ferocity of a thousand troops!
At the same time, the insect cloud surrounding the Demon Locust Mother transformed into a black cloud, surging towards the cavalry!

A dark cloud of insects enveloped the cavalry. When the cloud dissipated, the cavalrymen and their horses had been devoured, leaving only bones!
Su Mo's face turned pale!

These locusts are incredibly dangerous; are they man-eating locusts?

I wonder if the female centurion can handle it!

It seems I need to intensify my cultivation of the Yangtian Technique.

These Taoist sorcerers have such bizarre methods; they might just lose their lives someday!

Upon seeing this, Lin Moyin's pretty face suddenly darkened, and she shouted, "Everyone be careful! This is a Blood Refined Corpse!"

"It must be broken with lightning magic!"

As Lin Moyin finished speaking.

Many Imperial Guards took out paper talismans and threw them at the blood corpse.

The leader and the national advisor of the Heavenly Mother Sect are both highly accomplished immortals, and naturally have many cultivators under their command. The Embroidered Uniform Guard had made preparations long ago.

The paper talismans transformed into lightning and exploded on the blood corpse.

Even though they were all the lowest grade lightning talismans, they still caused the blood mist around the blood corpse to tremble and continuously dissipate!

At the same time, some Imperial Guards threw talismans at the insect cloud, and sparks kept popping up.

Like a hand grenade in later times, it was incredibly powerful, causing the insect cloud to churn and large swarms of locusts to fall to the ground!

The petite saintess of the Heavenly Mother Sect frowned slightly and sighed, "Alas!"

"It seems we won't be able to dig up that false emperor's ancestral grave this time."

"I might as well kill you all; I can't have come all this way for nothing!"

After saying that, she turned around, suddenly plucked the four strings, and then slammed them down.

His entire body was filled with magical power.

The four bolts of lightning converged and transformed into thunder from the heavens, crashing down upon the gaunt man below who was attacking him with a gun!

The man sneered, "You want to kill me? You'll have to see if you have the ability!"

As he spoke, he suddenly inhaled, his muscles bulged, and his physique seemed to grow three times larger in an instant.

With a single stomp, the ground cracked, and a terrifying shockwave erupted, spreading in all directions, sending sand and dust flying.

The giant spear in his hand gleamed with a faint, cold light!
It thrust straight towards the thunder!

Su Mo's eyes narrowed suddenly!
"This is what a true martial arts master is like?"

"What terrifying power! What profound internal energy! Could it be at the Grandmaster level?"

Just as Su Mo was shocked and amazed.

The giant spear collided with the thunder and lightning.

It immediately burst open section by section.

The man who claimed to be a commander of a thousand households was struck by lightning, his body emitting blue smoke as he was blasted more than ten meters away!

His body twitched a few times, then he became still.

Su Mo...

The Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Mother Sect glanced at Lin Moyin and the woman in black, then blinked her pretty eyes and looked with great curiosity at Su Mo, who was tightly embracing Lin Moyin.

No matter how intelligent or shrewd she was, she never made a mistake.

I just can't figure it out.

Looking at the formidable fake Imperial Guard commander.

Why would someone bring a man to fight me under these circumstances...?

Do you look down on yourself?

She almost couldn't help but ask what the other person meant!
In the end, I gave up on the idea.

After all, once a person is dead, no amount of secrets matters.

"It's your turn to be killed!"

The Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Mother Sect had white light appear on her five fingers as she plucked four strings of her zither, intending to kill the woman who was blocking Lin Moyin's way and only observing her appearance!

Lin Moyin and the woman in black immediately became serious.

Simultaneously unleash all your magical power!

The woman in black had two short swords, their blades gleaming, hovering in front of her like serpents.

The Sword Control Book suddenly emitted a burst of white light.

Five runes appeared in a row!
This is already Lin Moyin's limit!

Su Mo hesitated for a moment.

He gently pinched Lin Moyin's lower abdomen: "Do you want me to transfer some magic power to you?"

Lin Moyin: "Okay!"

Without further hesitation, Su Mo activated the Yang Tian Technique with all his might.

All of it gathered in her hands and was then absorbed by Lin Moyin's lower abdomen dantian!
The vajra at my waist is here to enhance its power again!
As the heat surged in, Su Mo's magical power suddenly became several times stronger!
Lin Moyin was stunned for a moment.

Just two days.

This bastard... how did his magic power increase so much?

However, now is not the time to study this.

As Su Mo's pure Yang energy surged into her and merged with the Xuan Yin evil energy, Lin Moyin felt a jolt of energy.

The light from the Sword Control Book rose even higher.

Another sword talisman appears!
All three of them used their magical powers to the fullest extent.

The Heavenly Mother Saintess looked at the six sword talismans in front of Lin Moyin, a strange light flashing in her eyes. Without further hesitation, she suddenly released her jade finger.

The power of the second-grade treasure, the Thunder Sound Pipa, was brought to its fullest potential.

With a commanding position, they struck the woman in black with thunderous force!

The woman in black unleashed two flying swords, their white light flashing, as they swirled and flew out!

Lin Moyin also drew her sword technique.

Six sword talismans flew out in an umbrella shape, transforming into a sword shield, which, together with the junior sister's two hidden swords, firmly blocked the thunderbolts that struck down from the pipa!
Su Mo felt his magical power being frantically devoured by the female commander.

I almost fell off the horse because my limbs went weak!
But I also know that now is the most critical moment!
It all comes down to the strength of both sides; who can hold out longer? They can only grit their teeth and persevere!

Fortunately, the Vajra Pestle was effective. Although the heat entering the body had weakened considerably, it continued to release, barely managing to hold on!
Sudden.

Lin Moyin suddenly turned her head to look to the right of the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Mother Sect!
He roared, "If we don't act now, when will we?"

The Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Mother Sect chuckled, but out of the corner of her eye, she couldn't help but glance to the right.

There's not a single person on the right!

"You think this saintess would believe me..."

She hasn't finished speaking yet.

But a deep voice came from the left: "She really didn't lie to you!"

Above, clouds and mist surged!
A giant hand formed from clouds and mist, carrying immense power, pressed down hard on the saintess's head!

The protective veil of the Heavenly Mother Saintess shattered instantly!
Along with the demonic locust mother beneath him, he was slammed to the ground by the giant hand!
A middle-aged man in a flowing robe, exuding an air of elegance, slowly emerged from the shadows on the left.

He reached out and threw a punch, which materialized into a giant fist and slammed towards the Holy Mother of Heaven.

The Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Mother Sect, who was being pressed to the ground, had a deathly pale face, and blood seeped through her black veil.

At this critical juncture.

With a flick of his wrist, he revealed an ancient tortoise shell.

Then, the phantom of the giant tortoise appeared.

The middle-aged man's punch only slightly shook the giant tortoise phantom, failing to break through the saintess's magical artifact!

"A fourth-grade magic artifact, the Turtle Spirit Shield?"

The middle-aged man uttered a few words, but his hands did not stop at all, and he punched the Turtle Spirit Shield twice from a distance.

Lin Moyin and the woman in black naturally wouldn't stand idly by.

At the same time, launch an attack on the woman!
The Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Mother Sect snorted angrily: "Hmph! You're bullying us because you outnumber us! I'm not playing with you anymore!"

Then he plucked a string.

Four bolts of lightning struck out.

Then, without even looking, he rode the Demon Locust Mother into the sky and flew away!

The middle-aged man sighed.

Turning his gaze to the somewhat unwilling Lin Moyin, he snorted irritably, "This Heavenly Mother demoness has quite a lot of magical artifacts on her!"

"You've really got Wang into serious trouble this time!"

I'll just post both at once. You've updated quite a bit already, please continue reading!
