Chapter 1243
Just as Xu Shan was relentlessly beating Zhu Ji, Long Duo and the others immediately organized their men to launch a counterattack.
They even shouted at the archers hiding on the ship: "Shoot arrows! Shoot arrows! Cover our retreat!"
"Team One, Team Two, move forward and stall their movement."
"quick."
At Rondo's command, the accompanying Tartars unleashed their qi to meet the enemy.
But the more this happened, the faster the effects of the [Ten Fragrant Tendon-Softening Powder] that they inhaled took hold.
'boom! '
'Sizzle.'
"what."
This allowed the Imperial Guards, the Elder of the Heavenly Dao Sect, and the Divine Mechanism Guards who rushed over to quickly and effortlessly reaped them one after another.
Even the archers on the warships could not escape the assassination attempts of the Dark Moon Pavilion and the Ghost Pavilion.
"Long, Governor Longduo, we've been poisoned."
"I feel weak all over."
"It's impossible to activate true energy at all."
'Swish.'
'Pfft. '
As one of the guard captains uttered these words, a dense rain of arrows fell from the sky.
They were relentlessly taking the lives of these Tartars!
"mean!"
"Shameless."
While wielding his blade, deflecting the crossbow bolts, Rondo cursed loudly!
"Quickly, fire the signal flare!"
"Send the second and third tiers of ships to the rescue immediately."
As soon as he finished speaking, one of the surviving array masters in the group cried out in despair, "It's too late, it's all too late."
"We are trapped inside the [Three Fire Mist Array]."
"No matter what signals we send out or how loudly we shout, the second and third echelons of ships cannot hear or see us."
"We have nowhere left to retreat."
"All the warships have been locked up by the Ming people."
'boom.'
Upon hearing this, Rondo and the others felt their heads buzzing.
In particular, when he turned to look for the nearest warship, he found that the figures of Ming soldiers had already taken the lead on the deck.
They were all composed of elders of the Heavenly Dao Sect, attendants of the Divine Mechanism Pivot, and members of the Embroidered Uniform Guard skilled in assassination.
Facing the Tartars who were poisoned with the "Ten Fragrant Tendon-Softening Powder," it was as easy as cutting melons and vegetables.
"Where is the Celestial Venerable?"
"Where is Zhu Tianzun?"
"He just probed with his divine sense, making such a big fuss. Didn't he say there was no array source here?"
"Where is he now?"
"No, I don't know."
"It happened suddenly; we only saw a few bolts of lightning strike him."
"We didn't pay attention to him because we wanted to protect the governor."
Just as the experts around Rondo finished speaking, several bolts of purple lightning struck down from the darkness not far away.
Immediately afterwards, everyone present heard Zhu Ji's heart-wrenching screams and desperate roars.
"Ow!"
"You dare to touch this Heavenly Venerable?"
“If anything happens to me, the other two Heavenly Officials will not let you off the hook.”
'Crackle!'
"what."
If he hadn't uttered those harsh words, the other party wouldn't have tortured him like this, and his screams wouldn't have been so pitiful.
"Heaven?"
"How many celestial beings have died at the hands of our own lord?"
"You, you are Xu Shan?"
'Hiss.'
Upon hearing Zhu Ji's shout, all the Tartar experts, including Longduo, couldn't help but gasp in shock.
The shadow of the famous tree of man!
The name of Xu the Butcher is well-known.
Even before this, Rondo had cautiously reminded Zhu Ji.
But what did he say at the time?
What do you mean by 'This Heavenly Venerable easily crushes the false saint Xu Shan'?
But now?
They were being humiliated and bullied.
Although Xu Shan and Da Ming have gained such a significant advantage and the situation on the ground is one-sided, they had previously engaged in a battle of wits from afar.
The reason why Zhu Ji didn't discover these array sources, now that I think about it...
It's obvious that Xu Shan was more skilled and deceived him through his own methods.
"The Heavenly Official has come to seek revenge against this Duke?"
"Don't worry, they don't need to come. I will find them myself!"
"Yes."
"In the mortal realm, whether they are celestial beings or earth demons, with me, Xu Shan, here..."
"Who dares to cause trouble in the Ming Dynasty?"
'boom.'
In an instant, Xu Shan completed the digestion of Zhu Ji's primordial energy.
A powerful and violent crimson aura emanated from him, spreading in all directions.
In an instant, the once somewhat dark Miaodao Island was illuminated by scarlet light.
Any Tartar who stubbornly resisted would immediately vomit blood and collapse after being attacked by the Tartar's energy.
Those who are weaker will die instantly.
Even a grandmaster-level expert would have their meridians severed and completely lose their fighting ability when attacked by the [Ten Fragrant Tendon-Softening Powder] and its energy!
In an instant, the scene that had been filled with shouts of fighting and killing fell silent.
Only the sound of the waves crashing against the cliffs echoed in everyone's ears.
‘Gulu. ’
The quieter it was, the clearer everyone could hear the unusual movements at the scene.
At this moment, both the Heavenly Dao Elder and the Divine Mechanism Deity swallowed hard.
Xu Shan's crimson energy accurately swept past them, his 'own people'.
But in the instant they brushed past each other, they clearly felt an overwhelming sense of pressure.
"Was that...was that divine might just now?"
"Duke Xu, you attracted the wrath of heaven with just one outward display of your inner strength?"
"So, his current strength..."
"A paradise on earth!"
"Not a pseudo-saint, not a half-grade terrestrial immortal."
"It is a true paradise on earth."
'boom.'
When an elder revealed Xu Shan's cultivation level, a murmur of surprise rippled through the large crowd.
Reaching the ninth rank of sainthood is something that even so-called geniuses and masters can only dream of.
Even if one reaches the Saintly Realm, it is only a 'Pseudo-Saintly Realm'. Further on, one must at least refine a True Soul of two colors or higher, and then transform the three Dantians, before one might be able to touch the threshold of the Half-Grade Land Immortal Realm.
A true soul of four colors or higher, plus the three dantians that transform into spirits, with one of the dantians condensing into a [primordial spirit], is what is meant by the legendary Great Perfection of the Holy Realm.
Judging from the oppressive aura Xu Shan exuded, he seemed to have reached the final level.
The Heavenly Dao Elder and the Divine Mechanism Master present at the scene clearly misperceived this point.
The reason why Xu Shan's internal energy was so powerful and his aura so oppressive was twofold: firstly, he had just absorbed Zhu Ji's primordial energy, and secondly, he possessed a seven-colored true soul.
Of course, given his current strength, plus his trump card.
Even if the opponent is at the Great Perfection of the Saint Realm, he still has the power to fight!
Xu Shan previously claimed to be invincible, which seemed somewhat unfounded.
But now...
As long as he is in the mortal realm, he fears no one!
"Lord Xu, you are mighty!"
"Lord Xu, how domineering!"
After a brief silence, the island of Miao suddenly erupted in the thunderous shouts of the soldiers.
What a joke.
With the Holy Land guarding them, what do they have to fear from the Tartars and barbarians?
