Swish, swish, swish!
Streams of dense spiritual light ascended.
Immediately, "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry Dharma Images" sprang up like mushrooms after rain.
One, two, three...
In the blink of an eye, three hundred "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry Dharma Images" appeared in the sky.
Three hundred "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry Dharma Images" stood between heaven and earth.
A tyrannical aura of clashing swords and galloping horses swept across the land.
Kill gods who block gods, kill Buddhas who block Buddhas!
Invincible, victorious in every battle, kill!
The aura of the three hundred "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry Dharma Images" was so powerful and fierce that it made everyone feel endless pressure and a sense of dread.
Even "Daoist Zi Shu" was startled.
Holy cow!
He thought Cao Pi was a bronze player, but he turned out to be a king!
Among the myriad types of "Dao Soldier Dharma Images," over ninety-nine point nine nine percent are "single-form Dharma Images."
For example, Cao Zhi's "Purple Gold Strongman Dharma Image."
And then there's Daoist Zi Shu's "Zi Shu Dharma Image," Daoist Shen Hou's "Shen Hou Dharma Image"...
They can only condense one Dharma Image.
Cao Pi's current three hundred "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry Dharma Images" belong to the rare "group image Dharma Images," which are one in ten thousand!
You can consider each "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry Dharma Image" as an independent entity, or you can consider all three hundred "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry Dharma Images" as a whole.
When the three hundred "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry Dharma Images" merge into a whole, it's not simply three hundred plus three hundred; the power they gather increases exponentially.
Kill!
At this moment, Cao Pi recovered from his "mysterious state." As if to show everyone how powerful "group image Dharma Images" were, Cao Pi gave a command, and the three hundred "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry Dharma Images" launched a group charge.
Kill, kill, kill!
The group charge of the three hundred "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry Dharma Images" was terrifyingly magnificent, indescribably powerful.
They transformed into a rolling torrent of steel, constantly advancing, advancing, and advancing, crushing everything in their path, destroying all enemies!
The "steel torrent" rolled on, overwhelmingly powerful. The "Shen Hou Dharma Image" dared not resist and could only rely on agile footwork to dodge left and right.
However, it was all in vain.
The three hundred "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry Dharma Images" suddenly split into three, encircling and charging from three directions to ambush the "Shen Hou Dharma Image."
The "Shen Hou Dharma Image" had nowhere to hide and no way to escape. It was repeatedly struck and beaten miserably.
In the end, it was still "Daoist Chen Long" who intervened to rescue "Daoist Shen Hou."
After the aftermath, the "Imperial Court Faction" suffered considerable losses.
Out of two thousand "Shen Hou Dao Soldiers," more than five hundred were killed or injured.
"Daoist Shen Hou" himself was severely injured, spitting up blood three times in succession.
Well, half of his spitting up blood was due to backlash, and the other half was due to anger.
He, a dignified "Nascent Soul expert" and one of the "Twelve Zodiac Daoists," who was considered a top-tier expert in the "Imperial Observatory," had actually fallen to a junior here.
Shameful!
Too shameful!
In "Daoist Shen Hou's" eyes, Cao Pi was a genuine junior, and a junior he didn't even consider worth mentioning.
When Cao Pi was interning at the "Imperial Observatory," he only had to respectfully bow to "Daoist Shen Hou."
Later, Cao Pi defected to the rebel army, and "Daoist Shen Hou" looked down on Cao Pi even more.
Because, in "Daoist Shen Hou's" opinion, the rebel army was even worse than mountain bandits.
Cao Pi's defection to the rebel army was purely self-degradation.
Yet, this "junior" he despised had not only successfully condensed a "Dao Soldier Dharma Image" at the "Golden Core realm," but it was also a rare "group image Dharma Image," and he had easily defeated him.
The three hundred "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry Dharma Images" could split and merge.
When split, they were swift as fire!
When merged, they were fierce as lightning!
This attack pattern perfectly countered "Daoist Shen Hou," leaving him no room to retaliate.
"Daoist Shen Hou" felt incredibly aggrieved and went to "Daoist Zi Shu" to confess his crime.
"I'm sorry, Big Brother, I've disgraced the Twelve Zodiac Daoists!"
"Daoist Zi Shu" didn't seem to care at all. His smile grew even wider. He waved his hand and said with a chuckle,
"It's nothing, it's nothing. Although you lost this battle, you have brought honor to yourself. Now I have found a way to deal with the rebel army!"
"Daoist Zi Shu" was now one hundred percent sure that his conjecture was correct.
Liu Xiu'er possessed the "Mandate of Heaven Emperor's destiny," and with his protection, the rebel army was full of vigor and their combat power was off the charts.
Under these circumstances, even if the "Imperial Court Faction" held an absolute advantage, they would still lose inexplicably due to various bizarre reasons.
To break this deadlock, it was actually quite simple.
Liu Xiu'er was just one person. No matter how powerful his destiny was, it could only protect a city. As long as Liu Xiu'er was tied down, the "Rebel Faction" would reveal its true colors and be unable to continue.
No sooner said than done.
"Daoist Zi Shu" immediately dispatched "Daoist Mao Tu" and "Daoist Si She," who were most skilled in swift assaults, to raid "Mu Wang City" overnight.
"Mu Wang City" was located behind "Heze Heavy Town," so it should have been a safe zone, not affected by the war.
Liu Xiu'er hadn't expected "Daoist Zi Shu" to be so tenacious, ordering his men to bypass "Heze Heavy Town" and strike directly at "Mu Wang City."
Liu Xiu'er had dispatched all the "Rebel elites" to "Heze Heavy Town," leaving "Mu Wang City" with empty defenses.
It was a close call, and "Mu Wang City" was almost successfully raided by "Daoist Mao Tu" and "Daoist Si She."
Fortunately, at the critical moment, the "Seventy-two Chaos True Demons" played their part.
As guardians of the "Dihua Divine Cult," they were diligent and responsible, releasing their true spirits from time to time to patrol around the temples.
Their enthusiasm for work and the intensity of their internal competition were comparable to modern office workers.
The "Seventy-two Chaos True Demons" discovered "Daoist Mao Tu" and "Daoist Si She" immediately.
In their opinion, they had to eliminate "Daoist Mao Tu" and "Daoist Si She" at the first possible moment.
Damn it!
Are they tired of living?
Don't they know that "Mu Wang City" is under our protection, the "Seventy-two Chaos True Demons"? If you dare to cause trouble in "Mu Wang City," you are provoking us, the "Seventy-two Chaos True Demons"! We must kill and cripple you!
Although the "Seventy-two Chaos True Demons" had commendable morale, alas, their strength did not allow it!
They were no longer the invincible and ferocious "Chaos True Demons" they once were.
As guardians of the "Dihua Divine Cult," the only means they could use were "illusions" to create "phantasms" that would trap people in them, making them unable to extricate themselves.
"Daoist Mao Tu" and "Daoist Si She" were both top-tier "Nascent Soul experts." The effect of "illusions" on them was negligible.
The "Seventy-two Chaos True Demons" were utterly incapable of harming "Daoist Mao Tu" and "Daoist Si She."
