[Adult Fantasy] The Legend of the Earth and the Clouds [Complete] - Chapter 23

Chapter One: The Demonic Beast Chisel-Toothed

Red Princess is naturally immune to human spiritual weapons and artifacts. To defeat her, one would need sixteen physical divine dragons arranged in the Yin-Yang Eight Extremes Wandering Dragon Formation; otherwise, it would be a

futile effort. If Ma Yingfei's divine dragon spirit, which was currently being refined, were to appear before her and a fight broke out, the dragon spirit would be easily shattered. A single physical divine dragon couldn't even harm a red-eyed zombie.

If there was only one divine dragon, it could only flee when encountering a red-eyed zombie. Only two or more divine dragons, rigorously trained and coordinated in a formation, could kill a red-eyed zombie.

An untrained or inexperienced divine dragon could only flee when encountering a zombie with orange eyes or higher. However, if the zombie drank dragon blood, it would be more effective than drinking the blood of a million people.

Ma Yingfei's face turned pale, and she angrily said, "Shui--! How much more are you hiding from me? Is this something to be trifled with? If one loses control during the refining process, who in this world can subdue them?"

Shui Linfeng laughed, "Don't be nervous! There haven't been any mishaps, have there? Besides, what I refined is far less powerful than what the ancient demon king Gonggong refined. It's like a domesticated tiger, all show and no substance. Although they all have golden and silver eyes, their strength is greatly reduced when they fight. They're only slightly stronger than the red-eyed ones that Gonggong refined back then. If he releases four or five dragons, he can definitely handle them. Besides, that old demon Gonggong in ancient times only refined nine bodies, three with golden eyes." "Six silver eyes. The other zombies all turned into zombies after they bit people and returned a drop of zombie blood. Even if my biting people, if I don't make them return that drop of zombie blood, then no one will turn into a zombie!"

Tang Lu said uneasyly, "You black-faced rascal, you're really bored. Yingfei and I agree on this matter. You're playing with fire, you know that?"

Shui Linfeng laughed, "You two little hussies, what's the rush! Aren't you all fine? Hey! You seven. Stop kneeling, get up!"

The seven slave girls, seeing that Ma and Tang didn't like them, instinctively glared angrily at the two women, but because of Shui Linfeng, they couldn't immediately pounce on them and bite.

Xiang Qiang ran over and said, "The beautiful female slaves of the Ma, Tang, and Pei families have all been brought outside, my lord! Shall we let them in now?"

Shui Linfeng said, "Alright! My two dear wives, we'll deal with this later. Let's deal with the immediate problem first! Xiang Qiang! Don't panic, immediately bring the female slaves from the three families in batches. I'll have people guard them. Distribute all the capable retainers and security guards from the four families to various ambush positions!"

Xiang Qiang said, "Yes! I'll bring the female slaves in immediately. The capable retainers and security guards are already..." "Young Master Tang and Young Marshal Ma have arranged for them to take up the blocking positions!"

Shui Linfeng shouted loudly, "Big and Little Flute Beasts, you two are in charge of the secret passage. Peach Blossom Wave, Peach Blossom Flirt, Xu Ying, Zhang Lan, and Li Yu are all under your command. In addition, I will assign ten experts from the Xiang family to you. Guard this secret chamber at the bottom of the lake well for me. All the assets of our four families are here!"

The Big and Little Flute Beasts are both literate and martial, and are full of wit. In terms of intelligence, they are even better than the Twin Leopards. Back then, they were ordered by the Kongtong Sect to serve Wu Dengke to the death.

For eight years, Wu the Dwarf had never given them a chance to show their skills, treating them only as beasts to be abused and ravaged. The two women endured this humiliation and hardship, never expecting that upon arriving at Shui Linfeng's place, they would be entrusted with such an important task. They exchanged a glance, overjoyed, and said, "Big (Little) Xiao Beast understands! Master, please rest assured!"

Shui Linfeng casually selected ten skilled fighters from the Xiang family, handing them over to Big and Little Xiao Beasts, and then led Ma, Tang, and seven slave girls out. Big Xiao Beast said, "Master, how can you let us go without staying to oversee our deployment?" "Relax?"

Shui Linfeng said, "If I didn't trust you, why would I entrust all the property of the four families to you two? Remember! Protecting the property of the four families is paramount; under no circumstances should we engage in battle!"

Tang Ao and Ma Yunfei, both from families of generals, had already arranged for the more than three hundred strong family guards and security personnel from the four families to their respective positions. They were not only setting up fortifications and fortifications in the buildings, terraces, corridors, pillars, flower beds, and artificial hills in the courtyard, but were also digging two trenches that stretched outwards from the courtyard, extending a hundred meters in depth. On the small earthen slopes on both sides of the annex, Bi Yong and Ha Chengjun each led thirty men, setting up mortars to form a crossfire, supporting the main building.

All the guards and security personnel carried Type 81 automatic infantry rifles, equipped with five standard magazines and five rifle grenades each. They didn't use bayonets, but instead carried a narrow, two-foot-long knife on their backs. When the four guards saw Shui Linfeng with nine stunningly beautiful women, standing on the rooftop of the main building under the bright lights, they all peeked out from their cover, laughing and greeting him.

Shui Linfeng, with a sweeping gaze from his vantage point, understood everything and was secretly alarmed. In just a short time, Ma and Tang had already deployed several layers of firepower, varying in height, distance, and range, dispersing fire from the center outwards and concentrating it back inwards. This allowed them to seize high ground without wasting a single person or weapon.

His eyes darted around, carefully memorizing this battle formation. The principle remains the same despite variations; with this small-scale formation as a foundation, given time and careful study, setting up a large-scale battle formation wouldn't be difficult.

Ma Yunfei and Tang Ao jumped up as well. Ma Yunfei said, "How about it, Lao Xiang? My brother's skills are passable, aren't they?"

Ma Yingfei laughed, "Such a tight attack and defense, I'm afraid it's not just your skill alone, brother."

Tang Ao said, "Since it's a joint effort, it must be the result of everyone's joint planning! Brother Xiang, what do you think? Is it presentable?"

Ma Yingfei said, "This person is already bad enough, despicable and shameless, full of tricks. If you show him modern combat formations, who knows what kind of trouble he'll cause in the future!"

Tang Lu laughed, "Is he a genius? It's just a small-scale attack and defense. If it's a large-scale battle, thousands of miles deep, this kind of small-scale attack and defense is not enough!"

Ma Yingfei said coldly, "Everyone saw it on the field. You even taught him the Tang family's secret technique, the Three-Star Soul-Seizing Technique. What else can't you teach him! Be careful you don't get scolded when you get back!"

Tang Lu jumped up and down, "I'm more wronged than Dou E! I was just casually chatting with him while we were eating together..." He rambled on for a bit, only mentioning the principles of the Tang family's hidden weapons, without discussing the actual methods. "What does his Three-Star Soul-Snatching ability have to do with me?!"

Tang Ao said, "Brother Xiang! Didn't Tang Lu really teach you? This needs to be clarified; my father will definitely question me when we get back!"

Shui Linfeng scratched his head and laughed, "Those things are only theoretically possible, right? That day, after listening to Tang Lu talk about some physical principles of lightness, heaviness, speed, and slowness, I thought about how to ambush that Chen Bulei. I practiced several techniques before finally deciding on that method to throw out the Heavenly Spirit Nail and kill that fake!"

Tang Ao glared in disbelief, "Practiced several techniques? Heavens! What else did you figure out?"

Shui Linfeng casually picked up a tile from the roof, his true energy swirling, and the tile shattered into several even pieces. He held one in his right hand, picked up another with his left, and flung it into the air. Then he picked up another piece and followed the first one. With a "crack!" they collided in mid-air and fell down together.

"Lightning-Facing Star!" Ma Yunfei shouted.

"One Wave, Three Layers—!" "Flying Arc Dart—!" "Seven Stars in One!"... Several people shouted out the dozen or so hidden weapon techniques that Shui Linfeng had practiced.

Tang Lu's almond-shaped eyes widened in disbelief, while Ma Yunfei clapped and cheered.

Ma Yingfei, however, remained nonchalant, and after a long while said, "Are you ever going to stop? You're just showing off!"

Tang Lu said, "Brother! You saw it all! I didn't teach him this! When we get back, you have to explain this to Dad for me!"

Tang Ao smiled bitterly, "How can I explain this? If I didn't see it with my own eyes, who would believe me? It's all a secret technique of the Tang Clan!"

Shui Linfeng laughed, "As long as something exists or can be done in this world, it's just a matter of who sees it first or who does it first. There shouldn't be any distinction between any particular family, school, or sect. It's just that your family did it first. Once you understand this physical principle, given time, I might come up with even more interesting things! These dozen or so are just the easiest things to do based on the physical principles Tang Lu mentioned!"

Apart from Ma Yingfei and the seven zombies, everyone else was dumbfounded. Suddenly, one of the Xiang family's retainers shouted joyfully, "Our lord is incredibly intelligent and a peerless hero!" The rest of the Xiang family's retainers also shouted in unison.

Ma Yingfei laughed, "Tang Ao! This guy is a born Heavenly Pillar Spirit, exceptionally intelligent, with the dragon vein of the Purple-Gold Divine Dragon in his body, far beyond what ordinary people can compare to. This guy can use both hemispheres of his brain; the left brain controls memory and thinking, while the right brain controls spatial abstraction, and the development of his brain is far greater than that of ordinary people. Our Ma family's secret techniques, the Thirteen Styles of Qingfeng and the Six Styles of Zhanma's Three Blades, have only been seen by him once, yet he can practice them all. However, his character is extremely bad; he's lustful, greedy for alcohol, and loves to take advantage of others. He's despicable, vulgar, and shameless, only caring about results, not methods, and is utterly shameless and indifferent to everything. If you encounter him on the battlefield one day, be careful! He might be even more difficult to deal with than Zhao Chengyu!"

Shui Linfeng pouted, very dissatisfied, and said, "Little horse hoof! Are you insulting me or praising me? I can't tell!" "Tell me, with my abilities, how could I possibly have the chance to command troops! Even if we take a step back, it's impossible for me to be an enemy of Tang Ao and Ma Yunfei!"

Ma Yingfei ignored him and continued on her own, "So! If he sees the small offensive and defensive formation you carefully arranged today, it's certain that he'll stage a massive attack to wipe out your entire family one day!"

Tang Lu suddenly hugged Shui Linfeng and kissed him forcefully in front of everyone, saying, "Jingyu! I love you to death! In this life, I will marry no one but you!"

Tang Ao smiled bitterly, "I understand! I hope Brother Xiang will take good care of my little sister in the future!"

Ma Yingfei laughed loudly and recited, "Flowers are not flowers, mist is not mist, coming at midnight, leaving at dawn, coming like a spring dream, how long does it last? Going like morning clouds, nowhere to be found!"

Tang Lu angrily said, "Ma Yingfei! What do you mean by that?" She was about to attack Shui Linfeng.

Shui Linfeng hurriedly grabbed her hand, laughing heartily, "Who brought these dozens of mortars? You're truly a prophet, a visionary!"

Ma Yunfei replied, "I brought them, along with those grenades and heavy-fire sniper rifles. How about that! A modern-day Zhuge Liang!"

Just as Shui Linfeng was about to respond, something within a dark cloud suddenly tore open a massive rift, hundreds of meters long, across the dark red northern sky. Countless black dots rained down from the rift. The magical weapon that had pulled the sky apart shone brightly, seemingly emitting a dragon's roar. The dark cloud hovered at the edge of the dark, bright void, as if using sorcery to support the rift and deliberately release more unknown demons.

Tang Ao shouted, "On your positions! Prepare to engage the enemy!"

Ma Yingfei said coldly, "Someone actually used a spiritual weapon to forcibly open the void! Heavens! What has been released?"

Tang Lu said, "Who cares what it is! Jingyu! Why don't we rush over first, shoot down what's in those dark clouds, and close the void first!"

Ma Yingfei said, "It's too late! Those things are attacking. Let's repel their first wave first!"

Inside and outside the courtyard, coordinated firepower rang out. Ma Yunfei excitedly shouted and jumped, leading the charge out of the courtyard gate and leading his men to fight at the forefront.

Tang Ao, however, remained calm and composed, giving orders. Shui Linfeng said, "Yingfei! Tang Lu! Come with me up to see what kind of monsters they are!"

There was no need to go down; a dark mass of shadows, howling, pressed forward in the deep night. Each monster was about four meters long, hairless, and entirely blue, its chest, back, and groin covered in demonic armor. Long, beastly arms had wrist guards that reached all the way to its forearms. Its left claw held a shield, and its right claw a spear.

Their heads were bald, their faces extremely ferocious, their eyes flashing red light, and their gaping maws revealed three-foot-long, chisel-like teeth. They had no noses, only a dark, gaping hole for breathing. 7.62mm automatic rifles concentrated their fire on the monsters' hearts. The bullets struck their armor without making a sound or harming them; only the immense force of the impact sent them staggering backward.

Ma Yunfei, having seen it clearly, shouted, "Concentrate fire! Smash these bastards in the face!"

The monsters simultaneously raised their massive left-hand shields, deflecting the barrage of bullets. Tang Ao also directed the sharpshooters to use Daze 5.8mm sniper rifles to shoot the monsters in the eyes.

It worked! Caught off guard, the attacking monsters fell one after another. Shui Linfeng felt the earth shake. Ma Yingfei frowned beside him, saying, "It's useless. These monsters are called Chisels. They have automatic repair capabilities in their hands, feet, and eyes. They'll be back in no time!"

Tang Lu said, "I remember Dad saying that in ancient times, the connections between spaces were unstable. Often, demons would accidentally wander into our space, but their numbers were small. Judging from their appearance and build, they are indeed Chisels. Legend has it that in ancient times, a Chisel once entered our space but was shot dead by Hou Yi with an arrow. Are our rifle bullets less effective than Hou Yi's arrows?"

Shui Linfeng said, "They probably really are." "That's a divine artifact! Oh dear!" Yingfei was right. Sure enough, they all stood up again, their eyes completely healed, but they were even more furious. "Let's go! Use our spiritual weapons to stop them!"

Tang Lu said, "When fighting these stupid beasts, we must be fast. Don't let them entangle us. I've counted them. There are ten in total. They are under the command of the largest one on the left front. I'll go and entangle him! You two find an opportunity to kill him!"

After saying that, she took off the crimson rose-colored armband from her left snow arm and threw it into the air. The crimson armband made a "whoosh" sound in mid-air and transformed into a "Crimson Cloud Beast" with red fur all over its body. It was neither a tiger nor a unicorn. It roared to the sky and carried Tang Lu, baring its teeth and claws as it charged ahead.

Ma Yingfei said, "This is really tough on you! Without speed, if these chisels catch you, they'll definitely tear you apart. There's no use in trying now. It seems you can only stay in the courtyard like a turtle. I'm afraid you can't control Xiang Jingyu's black horse anymore!"

After saying that, she made a face and took the silver snow lion armband that she had just won in a bet from her left wrist. She threw it into the air, and the huge snow lion roared and charged out!

The people blocking downstairs were stunned and didn't know what to do. Tang Ao said, "Listen to my command, just fire. We won't hurt the two girls!"

Ma Yunfei and Pei Mingmen also rode out on their spirit beasts. They targeted the demonic beasts that were being pushed back by the rifles and were temporarily unable to fight back. They used their spirit weapons to cleave or stab the gaps in their abdomens where there was no demonic armor. In an instant, the ground was full of dismembered demonic beasts, with broken limbs crawling around, but they refused to die.

Shui Linfeng also chanted an incantation, relying on the Twin Flying Horses he had snatched from Lingjizi, and led seven slave girls into the monsters. They moved like phantoms, their speed even faster than Ma and Tang.

The "Seven Deadly Corpses Formation," painstakingly crafted, finally found its use today. The seven corpses, arranged in the reversed Heavenly Star Seven Star formation, were like a colorful miniature meat grinder, shredding monsters into minced meat wherever they went, blood and flesh flying everywhere.

Tang Lu glanced sideways and said sweetly, "Strange! Jingyu's footwork is incredibly fast; something strange must be going on!"

Ma Yingfei seized the opportunity to approach, whispering, "Shui Linfeng—! You damned man! You still say you didn't kill Lingjizi?"

Shui Linfeng didn't turn around, whispering, "This armor was crafted by myself; it has nothing to do with Lingjizi. Don't talk nonsense!" With that, he charged off elsewhere.

Half an hour later, everyone clapped and celebrated. The group of ten chisel-toothed beasts surrounding the courtyard had all been torn to pieces. The bloody, mangled pieces of flesh and broken bones were scattered everywhere, yet they refused to die and kept throbbing.

Shui Linfeng asked curiously, "Why does it seem like every piece of flesh is still alive? Could they reassemble and revive?"

Just then, a golden demonic wind blew in from the ground, and the scattered pieces of flesh and bones instantly reassembled, even the limbs devoured by the spirit beasts were perfectly restored.

Ma Yunfei exclaimed, "Strange! How come the wind has color! And it's golden!"

Pei Mingmen shouted, "Brother Xiang, you're so unlucky! Look—! You've brought them all back to life! Oh no! Let's retreat quickly!"

Tang Ao, seeing this clearly from afar, cried out, "Oh no! That's the demonic golden wind caused by the Demonic Body Regeneration Scroll! We must kill the person holding the scroll first, otherwise these chisel-toothed beasts will keep dying and coming back to life endlessly, exhausting me to death!"

Shui Linfeng shook his head and sighed, saying to the others, "I'll take seven slave girls..." "Go find the person holding the golden scroll, kill him with the Seven Deadly Sins Formation, and you all stay here! If things don't work out, escape on your own, don't worry about me!"

Ma Yunfei shouted, "Escape? What are you talking about! But before you find the person holding the golden scroll, you need to find a way to close that gaping void!"

Chapter Two: Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden

Tang and Ma said in unison, "I'll go too!"

Shui Linfeng said solemnly, "No! The two of you can't keep up with me. If you take me with you, I won't be able to move freely! You should stay here and help Tang Ao!"

Tang Lu protested, "My Crimson Cloud Beast can run at 380 kilometers per hour, no matter the mountains or rivers. It's incredibly fast and won't slow you down!" Ma

Yingfei said, "I understand! You want to ride the beautiful corpse! Take care! I won't leave on my own until I see you!"

Shui Linfeng took Ma Yingfei's hand and said, "Don't be like that! If things get out of hand, find a way to escape!"

Tang Lu jumped up and said, "Hey—! She's someone else's wife! I'm your betrothed, aren't you holding the wrong hand?"

Shui Linfeng smiled bitterly, at this moment... He regretted getting involved with Tang Lu, and took her small hand, saying, "Good wife! Wait for me! The speed of the golden and silver corpses is approaching the speed of light. Your Crimson Cloud Beast can't keep up with me even if you kill it! I'll be right back!" He turned around and shouted, "Red Maiden—!"

The seven corpses, like spiritual soldiers, were in sync with Shui Linfeng's mind and immediately flew up upon hearing the shout. Shui Linfeng leaped onto Red Maiden's back, with three silver-eyed corpses on either side. Shui Linfeng pointed to the crack in the void on the northern horizon, and the seven corpses transformed into seven streaks of colored lightning, flying up together.

Maitreya Buddha Li Neng, guarding the outer perimeter of Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden Zhang Jinhua, had already killed several groups of experts. Even if some experts slipped through, they couldn't escape the poisonous hands of Jiang Tengjiao and He Zhaobi, two two-thousand-year-old demons. The two demons revealed their true forms at this moment, not fighting with anyone, but opening their blood-red mouths like giant gates to devour anyone who came up.

The "Bamboo Leaf Green" poison of Qingchi He Zhaobi was densely distributed around Zhang Jinhua's brocade handkerchief. Even the demonic beasts in the void dared not approach too closely. Occasionally, a drop of the condensed liquid would fall to the ground, immediately raising a large cloud of blue poisonous smoke, and the surrounding vegetation would wither instantly. Although Qingjiao Jiang Tengjiao herself was not poisonous, she was naturally immune to the venom of ten thousand snakes. He Zhaobi's Bamboo Leaf Green poison could not cause her any harm.

The space that Zhang Jinhua had opened was the space above the human realm. The tens of thousands of demonic soldiers gathered inside were not afraid of ordinary human guns, bullets, swords, spears, axes, or halberds. Only spiritual weapons and divine artifacts could harm these chisel-toothed demonic beasts. In less than two hours, Zhang Jinhua had actually released nearly ten thousand demonic soldiers and generals.

Shui Linfeng rode on Hongji's back and instantly arrived at the edge of the red clouds in the north. Li Neng had already sensed the sudden arrival of a great enemy and instinctively rode a gust of wind to intercept them.

Shui Linfeng sensed the danger in the gust of wind. With his own cultivation, he was no match. To be able to ride the wind, one must at least possess a Heavenly Dao Body, two major stages higher than himself, and one major stage higher than Lingjizi. If he went up, he would be killed in one move! He quickly whistled, ordering the two silver-eyed zombies, Lan and Zi, flying on the outermost sides to meet the enemy. Lan and Zi responded and rushed towards the black wind.

Li Neng, seeing them from afar in the wind, was startled: "Heavens! Who is this! They actually brought seven golden and silver-eyed zombies!" It was

too late to dodge. Lan Ji was flying in the air, her corpse claws outstretched. Even before the corpse arrived, the terrifying corpse aura was already there. Li Neng gritted his teeth, conjuring a sword. After the sword appeared, it split in mid-air, multiplying into dozens of swords, slashing at Lan Ji's face. Lan Ji didn't retract her ten claws, but instead bent her legs and kicked.

Shui Linfeng had revealed his true form, riding on Hong Ji's bare pink back. Seeing Lan Ji and the fat man locked in a stalemate, he immediately telepathically instructed Zi Ji not to confront them head-on, but to use "Zombie Concealment" to hide herself behind the fat man and launch a silent, unexpected attack with "Yin Wind Claw," ensuring a successful strike.

Zi Ji obeyed, silently turning around behind Li Neng and delivering a claw strike at an extremely tricky angle. Her snow-white, slender corpse claw pierced through Li Neng's protective spiritual energy, cleverly probing inside.

Li Neng yelled, his clothes torn and flesh ripped from his back, and he fell straight down into the wind, cursing, "Damn it! Who is that corpse-controlling one? How dare she teach her to use our sect's Yin Wind Claw to ambush me from behind! How despicable and shameless!"

Shui Linfeng, sitting on Hong Ji's back, grabbed her hair with his left hand, riding her like a warhorse, hovering in the air. He had already seen Li Neng clearly and couldn't help but laugh loudly, "Hey fatso, what nonsense are you spouting? I taught them the Nine Forms of Yin Wind Claw from the Rakshasa Sect, which was extinct during the Northern Song Dynasty. What does it have to do with you!"

Li Neng felt an intense itch on his back, knowing that the corpse poison had taken effect. He quickly swallowed a life-saving elixir, hastily summoned the two demons and one person with "Lotus Whisper Secret Sound," and then used earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of escape technique) to leave.

The ground was pitch black. Shui Linfeng's cultivation was far inferior to his, and even with the help of the zombie, he dared not rashly pursue him. He shook Hong Ji's long hair, rode Hong Ji, and charged straight towards the dark, bright blood cloud.

Hong Ji flew very high, and Shui Linfeng could see two dragon-shaped demons from afar. The one on the left was a hundred feet long, covered in vicious blue scales, with a single dark blue horn over ten meters long on its head, and four legs and four claws. The one on the right was also seventy or eighty feet long, covered in green scales, without a horn on its head, and four legs and three claws. Against the blood-red sky, they were quite a sight.

In the middle was a great beauty, standing on a red cloud that resembled a brocade handkerchief. She had a pretty face, alluring eyes, and was extremely beautiful and charming. Compared to Ma Yingfei and Tang Lu, she possessed a different kind of gentle beauty. In each hand, she held a strangely shaped spiritual weapon, with the hilt in the middle and two pointed ends. It was ancient and mottled, with seven stars shining on the blade and dragon shapes appearing and disappearing. The material was not metal or iron, but rather a hundred-foot-long otherworldly space that emitted a myriad of rays of light.

Shui Linfeng laughed loudly and said, "I wondered who it was, it's you two demons causing trouble! Eh--! The beauty in the middle is quite a sight, Jiang Tengjiao, He Zhaobi, won't you introduce her to me!"

The two demons were startled to see someone flying over with seven golden and silver-eyed zombies. They instinctively wanted to run away, but when they heard the handsome man riding on the back of the golden-eyed zombie dressed in sexy red clothes, who seemed to know the two, they stopped in the air out of curiosity and looked closely to see who the man was.

The two demons looked at each other again and again, but they didn't recognize each other. Jiang Tengjiao's huge, bloody mouth opened and closed, uttering human language: "Who are you? Do we know each other?"

Shui Linfeng covered his nose and said, "Ugh! It smells awful! Whether you two stupid snakes know each other or not is irrelevant. The key is that you, you clumsy snake, can't you introduce that beautiful lady? That way, we'll have something to call her when we're having sex!"

Zhang Jinhua, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, was using all her Taoist magic to support the Dragon Bone Sky-Piercing Axe. Hearing Shui Linfeng's frivolous words, she couldn't retort, but her charming eyes widened in anger as she glared at Shui Linfeng.

He Zhaobi angrily said, "You're asking for death!"

The dragon spun in the night sky, its massive tail sweeping down with a chilling gust of wind. The two slave girls, Lan and Zi, were already prepared. Seeing the tail approach, Zi flew straight at it, grabbing it with her claws, while Lan flew onto the dragon's body, digging her claws deep into its flesh.

Jiang Tengjiao cried out urgently, "Sister, don't be reckless! Two silver-eyed zombies can even kill a dragon! Quickly, hide and run!" Without waiting for Zhang Jinhua, the massive dragon shrank, becoming invisible to the naked eye, and plunged into the lake, never to reappear.

He Zhaobi, writhing in pain, realized she was no match for them. With a powerful somersault, she shrank into a tiny particle, escaping the grasp of Lan and Zi, and fell into the lake like a shooting star.

Shui Linfeng had no intention of killing the two demons. His purpose in riding Hong Ji was to close the void. The two demons had escaped into the lake, and even with the seven slave girls' keen sense of smell, they would have difficulty finding them. He had no choice but to give up.

When he glanced at the stunningly beautiful Zhang Jinhua, his penis involuntarily perked up. He secretly instructed the six silver-eyed slave girls to lie in ambush in the dim mist. He then made a hand seal with his left hand and began to perform a spell, drawing in a large amount of lake water to wash away the poisonous mist surrounding Zhang Jinhua. When the water that had fallen into the lake flowed back in, all the fish, shrimp, crabs, and turtles floated up belly to the surface.

Zhang Jinhua flipped her hands, retracting the Dragon Bone Sky-Piercing Axe. The void she had opened closed with a "whoosh." She glanced coldly at Shui Linfeng, pursed her lips, and said, "Not bad looking, but too low in cultivation!"

Shui Linfeng looked her over, but couldn't discern her cultivation level. He knew this demoness was far superior to him, already able to fly freely on a cloud-covered robe. He dared not be careless, chuckled, and remained silent. With a whistle, he summoned six alluring corpses to surround her. He whispered to Hong Ji, "Let me down. Activate the Seven Deadly Corpses Formation. Capture her alive. Remember, don't kill or maim her!"

Hong Ji obeyed, releasing Shui Linfeng. She then flew into the air, using a portal to activate the Seven Deadly Corpses Formation. On the ground, rows upon rows of Chiseltooth Legion soldiers, Chiseltooth demonic beasts that could only walk and couldn't fly, blindly fighting the humans.

Shui Linfeng possessed a pair of platinum-forged flying horses, incredibly swift in movement. The moment his feet touched the ground, he darted like the wind to a secluded corner, hiding like a cat. The towering, jagged-toothed creatures couldn't possibly spot the cunning Shui Linfeng lurking in the shadows.

Hidden in the corner, Shui Linfeng looked up at the seven beautiful corpses. He saw a gloomy, dismal atmosphere in the sky, and heard incessant wailing. The beautiful woman was indeed formidable, constantly unleashing the Five Elements Daoist arts, summoning wind and thunder, igniting lightning and fire.

Shui Linfeng was dazzled by her display. He thought his Daoist arts were unparalleled, but he realized there were always stronger beings, and the heavens were beyond his grasp. If it weren't for the fortuitous coincidence of his sect's secret techniques combined with the rare essence of a woman's blood, these seven beautiful corpses, successfully refined, would likely already be dead. Although it's said that dying under a peony flower is a romantic death, Shui Linfeng still felt that living was better.

Shui Linfeng, intending to capture this stunning beauty alive, saw that her Five Elements Daoist arts were utterly ineffective against zombies outside the Three Realms and Six Paths of Beings, and that she was already tightly entangled by seven alluring corpses. Without strong external assistance, escape seemed impossible. He felt reassured and secretly opened the "Linglong Record" in his chest's Tanzhong acupoint, carefully searching for the best way to subdue her.

Zhang Jinhua already knew escape was hopeless. Unless she possessed hundreds of divine dragons, she couldn't possibly defeat these seven golden-and-silver-eyed zombies. Even more terrifying was that these seven zombies weren't fighting individually, but rather using an extremely powerful killing formation against her. Jiang Tengjiao and He Zhaobi, the two demons, were currently hiding in the mud somewhere; even if they were dragons, two of them wouldn't be enough to kill these zombies. Her husband, Maitreya Buddha Li Neng, had already sent word for her to run, but he was likely already seriously injured and preoccupied with his own survival. She wanted to run, but only if she could actually run!

At first, Zhang Jinhua didn't understand why these seven things were only tightly binding her and preventing her from escaping, but not actually killing her. After a long while, she realized that the handsome man she had seen earlier must want to capture her alive and take her back to play with.

With this thought in mind, she immediately calmed down. She had always been very confident in her beauty. Any man who saw her would want to take her as his own and play with her day and night. If she could make good use of men's lust, she could not only save her life, but perhaps even kill that man and find the secret spell to control these seven beautiful corpses from his soul, thus possessing these seven invincible beautiful corpses.

Having figured this out, she almost laughed out loud. She deliberately slowed down the movement of the Void-Piercing Axe in her hand. Since the seven beautiful corpses had no souls, no one would be cunning. Seeing an opportunity, she immediately seized her, flew down, and forced her to kneel down in front of Shui Linfeng.

Shui Linfeng had found a relatively spacious hiding place in the ruins of a collapsed building. He had figured out the best way to control Zhang Jinhua. Ultimately, he needed Lin Yanhong's virgin zombie hair, or something even more powerful like the Soul-Slaying Thorn, but in greater quantities. However, he first needed to know her cultivation level. Against a martial arts master far superior to himself, he couldn't use soul-searching spells unless he killed her or rendered half-dead and her soul scattered.

Shui Linfeng held some gleaming silver objects in his hand. These were all high-quality items he had obtained from Lingjizi, refined and stored in the red gourd. Shui Linfeng smiled as he looked at Zhang Jinhua, who was kneeling on the ground, her head and neck held down, unable to move. If Zhang Jinhua could look up and see these objects, she would know that Shui Linfeng was an expert and would rather die than be manipulated by him.

Hong Ji knelt down and said, "Master! We have captured her intact! What should we do with her?"

Shui Linfeng picked out a gag with three refined leather straps and a refined collar from the pile of items and said to Hong Ji, "Strip her naked, put the gag and collar on her, and then hold her down tightly!"

When Zhang Jinhua heard that she was to strip her naked and put a gag and collar on her, she felt even more confident. The phrase "hold her down tightly" meant that he wanted to force himself on her. She knew for sure that this man was a lecher. For a stunning beauty like her, a lecher would be easy to deal with if she let go. She couldn't help but feel overjoyed. She could almost see herself standing on that man's back, with seven invincible, beautiful corpses kneeling beside her, waiting for her to be sedated. She almost laughed out loud.

The yellow-clad slave girl holding down Zhang Jinhua's hair was very responsible; she wouldn't let go without her master's permission. Zhang Jinhua cooperated by having the two beautiful corpses strip her of all her clothes, leaving her kneeling naked before Shui Linfeng. She pleaded softly, "Why don't you ask them to let go! Now that you've captured me, I should serve you with my body. Let me up, and I will be your slave girl, naturally serving you as my master. If you ask me to play the flute, I will play the flute! If you ask me to have sex, I will have sex! I will never resist, but please forgive me!"

Shui Linfeng put her pair of dragon bone axes into the golden cauldron inside the red gourd and laughed, "Really? You've already given in? Do you think I'm a child? Fine! I ask you! What is your cultivation level now?"

Zhang Jinhua obediently replied, "I am now a Heavenly Dao Body, able to ride the wind and mist. If Master is willing, Jinhua is willing to serve you for all eternity!"

Her voice was sweet and seductive, and her limbs, which were being held down, naturally stretched out. Shui Linfeng suppressed his desire to touch her body, swallowed hard, and said to the seven slave girls, "Ignore her! Hold her down carefully, don't let her escape! Hongji, what are you doing?"

Upon hearing this, Hongji immediately floated to her side and slapped her several times, ordering her to open her mouth. Zhang Jinhua was thinking about something wonderful at the time, so she obediently opened her mouth and let Hongji put the gag on her securely. Then she felt a chill on her neck and knew that an unusually strong collar had been fastened on her neck.

Under Shui Linfeng's command, four silver-eyed zombies came over and pinned her down, forcing her to kneel upright on the broken cement ground. Only then did she notice the object in Shui Linfeng's hand, and a chill ran through her as she frantically shook her head.

Shui Linfeng held nine meticulously crafted titanium alloy needles, each over three inches long, which he had obtained from Lingjizi. These small items were of low value, used specifically for training beautiful women and abusing beasts, sealing acupoints and blocking qi. They didn't require blood recognition; whoever got them could use them. They could be used as ordinary hidden weapons or as instruments of torture.

Zhang Jinhua already knew what Shui Linfeng intended, but was helplessly held down by four incredibly strong silver-eyed zombies, unable to move.

Shui Linfeng laughed, "Huang Ji! Hold her head, don't let her move!"

The yellow-clad slave girl returned, grabbing her ears and hair, pressing her head down firmly. Just as she expected, Shui Linfeng inserted the needles into her Baihui acupoint on the top of her head, the Yintang acupoint between her eyebrows, and the Fengchi acupoint at the back of her head, first blocking her access to spiritual energy.

He turned around and, using steel needles, inserted them into three major acupoints on her chest—Tianchi, Tanzhong, and Qihai—from top to bottom. He then ordered the two zombies who had restrained her to spread her legs and reach between her anus and vulva, lightly kneading them a few times before inserting steel needles into her perineum.

He then turned her smooth, jade-like feet over and found the Yongquan acupoints on her soles, mercilessly inserting two steel needles. With nine steel needles piercing these nine major acupoints, her vital energy, spirit, and divine power were all suppressed. All the steel needles were fully inserted, disappearing completely to the tip.

Zhang Jinhua, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, was in excruciating pain, her face and head covered in beads of sweat the size of soybeans. Unfortunately, Shui Linfeng didn't remove her inner core. If he didn't remove it and cut off her head, she wouldn't die; she would simply endure the pain. Unlike a normal person, she wouldn't faint. The three steel needles that had initially pierced her body prevented her soul from leaving, making it impossible for her to abandon her physical form and escape.

This method of piercing had another advantage: it prevented her vital energy and spiritual energy from stagnating. As long as her inner core remained, removing the needles would allow her to fully recover within twelve hours, returning to her original state.

Shui Linfeng then picked up two strings of steel finger buckles and ordered Hong Ji to fasten them for her. These finger buckles fastened each of the ten fingers. Once fastened, pulling at the end would tightly bind the ten fingers together, preventing them from unfolding. Releasing them was also simple; by releasing the hook at the end, the ten fingers could move freely again without removing the steel finger buckles.

Zhang Jinhua thought the treatment was over and was about to catch her breath when Shui Linfeng said again, "Bear with it! You woman, with such high cultivation, I'm still not at ease. If you accidentally force out the steel needles, I'll be dead without a burial place!"

Zhang Jinhua was thinking exactly this. These nine steel needles could only control her temporarily. Without her inner core, they wouldn't be able to control her permanently. This treatment, while extremely painful, also had a fast recovery time, further demonstrating the man's desire to possess her body. As long as her limbs weren't crippled, she would kill him with the most cruel methods given the chance. Of course, she would have to feign compliance during the treatment, performing oral sex and licking his anus.

Chapter Three: Bone-Piercing and Tendon-Piercing .

Zhang Jinhua now fully understood that the person who had treated her was a master. Many cultivators wouldn't know how to use such a method to control her without crippling her. If this continued, she might be completely tamed by this man, becoming a lifelong slave.

With a flick of his left hand, Shui Linfeng conjured a hidden dagger from his veins, pressing it against Zhang Jinhua's shoulders. Zhang Jinhua trembled with fear, but Shui Linfeng remained unperturbed. He nonchalantly pierced the soft flesh of her shoulder blades, then took two thick titanium alloy chains, each as thick as a thumb, and pierced them through her shoulder blades, leaving them dripping with blood.

He then picked up her wrists and similarly pierced the soft flesh between the bones with the hidden dagger, locking one end of the shoulder chain through the bones of her wrists. This connected her wrists and shoulder blades with steel chains. Without untying the chains, she couldn't escape using bone-shrinking techniques or any other method. Her spiritual energy and true qi would be even more difficult to condense, making it virtually impossible to force out the steel needles.

Zhang Jinhua was in excruciating pain when Shui Linfeng brought out another steel chain, about the thickness of a thumb, signaling the zombie holding her to release her. Zhang Jinhua still possessed all her internal energy—true qi, spiritual qi, and inner core—but it could no longer be condensed, making her appear no different from an ordinary person. Seeing Shui Linfeng approach, she instinctively tried to run, but Shui Linfeng kicked her down and pinned her down. He then lifted her beautiful foot and, using the Hidden Edge Manual in his hand, pierced the soft flesh between the shinbone bones at her ankle. Following the same pattern, he chained her ankles as well.

Only then did he clap his hands and say, "Beautiful lady! Now you can't escape! When you're half-dead and your mind is in chaos, I'll find a way to subdue you and make you my lifelong beast. Do you like that?"

Only then did Zhang Jinhua realize her plan had backfired. Men's lust varies; some are lustful to the point of risking their lives, while others prioritize risk over lust. She was extremely unlucky to have encountered one who prioritized risk over lust. Those who control corpses are generally incompetent; the real threat is the zombie itself. Once the corpse controller is subdued, subduing the zombie is a piece of cake.

She had intended to use her beauty to feign intimacy, lure this man close, kill him, and search his soul for the incantation to control corpses. Then, she could conveniently take control of the seven refined, invincible, beautiful corpses. But this was the outcome she hadn't expected. Judging from the way he controlled himself, this man was extremely cautious; it would be impossible to find a loophole to turn the tide.

All hope vanished, leaving only rage. She turned her pretty face back, her alluring eyes filled with venomous resentment as she stared intently at Shui Linfeng.

Shui Linfeng took out the "Hundred Tribulations Whip" and first whipped her a few times as a greeting, making her writhe in agony. He originally intended to play with her genitals a bit more, but then he heard the deafening shouts of battle and screams outside. Reluctantly, he put her into a separate compartment in the green gourd, took the seven beautiful corpses, and went to find the one holding the "Demon Body Regeneration Scroll."

These nearly ten thousand Chisel-Toothed Demon Beasts, gathered and awaiting battle, were originally the army of a demon kingdom in another dimension. They were about to go to war with another demon kingdom when they were inexplicably placed in this dimension. They were also panicked and uneasy. Before the demon commander could react, he was attacked by unknown creatures and had no choice but to order a counterattack.

Shui Linfeng heard the deafening shouts of battle outside. Wu Dengke, sensing something was wrong, had requested permission from Emperor Chen Guorong of Daze to mobilize field corps near Laqifala. To the northwest were the 13th and 17th Corps of the Chen Family Army, totaling 300,000 troops, and to the southwest were Zhang Xian's 20,000 troops from the Yue Family Army, all armed with rapid-fire guns

and heavy artillery, pressing forward. The Chen Family Army was far away, but Zhang Xian's 11th and 12th Divisions were nearby. Upon receiving Yue Zhengyang's order, they first dispatched 500 armed helicopters. However, the Chiseltooth Beasts were very different from humans; the 30mm cannons on the helicopters were ineffective against them, and even the anti-tank missiles on board were useless.

These chisel-toothed monsters are extremely immune to both cold and hot weapons. Anti-tank missiles from attack helicopters, if they hit the armor or shields on their chests, upper arms, and thighs, will only knock them to the ground, but won't seriously injure them. If they hit exposed areas, they can be wounded, but won't die. Moreover, these chisel-toothed monsters are incredibly resilient; even if they are broken in half at the waist, their severed limbs can still fight.

Ordinary infantry rifles are even less effective against them. Even if they are hit on exposed parts of their bodies, it's like a human being stabbed hard with a stick—the skin won't even break. In addition, these chisel-toothed monsters are over four meters tall and weigh nearly a ton; humans truly feel very weak in their presence.

These chisel-toothed beasts had an even simpler way of replenishing their supplies. They would pick up a person, grab their thighs, tear them open, and eat them while they were still bleeding. If they were thirsty, they would hold up half a still-living person upside down and drink the blood that gushed from the body. They didn't even have the patience to roast the flesh. This terrified many soldiers, who couldn't even fire their guns.

Initially, when the first batch of chisel-toothed beasts were released, only Ma Yunfei, Shui Linfeng, and Tang Ao were carrying Type 81 automatic rifles. Tang and Ma were in the north and often fought against the beastmen. They had dug excellent trenches and ambush points. In the Great Swamp, there weren't many fierce warriors like Tang Ao and Ma Yunfei.

Ma Yunfei hadn't had a major battle and was feeling restless. This time, he came out with plenty of guns and cannons, just wanting to find something to do and wishing someone would accompany him on a big training exercise.

Tang Ao didn't bring cannons, but all of his men were active-duty elite soldiers, always armed to the teeth. Shui Linfeng was a born troublemaker, driven purely by fun; he wasn't afraid of killing people, only of failing to succeed. He even considered posing as a bandit to rob other nobles of their rare possessions. This time, he brought not only plenty of automatic rifles, rifle grenades, and narrow-bladed swords, but also a considerable number of grenade launchers and flamethrowers.

The No. 5 villa was another joint operation by four families, gathering enough spiritual soldiers and divine beasts. These divine beasts could not only tear apart these chisel-toothed demonic beasts, but also eat the severed limbs. Shui Linfeng's villa was hardly a large place for the demonic beasts; only a small squad of ten demonic soldiers remained, while the majority had already swept through, seeking out more populated areas to fight.

The other nobles fared worse, mostly carrying only sport rifles and hunting rifles. The armed detective and security forces responsible for the security of Las Fara City, unsuspecting of external threats, opted for Type 56 semi-automatic rifles with bayonets. These rifles lacked magazines, holding only ten rounds, but their primary purpose was to intimidate the unarmed people of Daze with their gleaming bayonets. Under the influence

of the "Golden Scroll of Demonic Body Regeneration," these demonic beasts died and came back to life endlessly. Furthermore, influenced by the scroll's magic, these beasts possessed a mutual-aid function: after winning battles and consuming humans, the energy they gained from the human bodies not only replenished themselves but also, with any surplus, nourished other damaged demonic bodies on the battlefield, reviving severed limbs.

Shui Linfeng brought out seven slave girls. The demon soldiers had already swept through the area, leaving an eerie silence. There was no one or animals in sight, only corpses scattered everywhere. Humans made up the vast majority, while demonic beasts were almost nonexistent. Human blood and demonic blood were easily distinguishable; human blood was bright red, while demonic blood was deep blue. The seven beautiful corpses behind him, seeing the blood everywhere, involuntarily stuck out their fragrant tongues and licked their cherry lips, revealing seven pairs of terrifying zombie teeth.

Shui Linfeng laughed, "Didn't you say you could stop drinking human blood? Why are all your teeth coming out again?"

Huang Ji said, "Master! If we don't drink human blood and eat food like humans, we'll naturally be fine. Our strength and magic power won't be damaged. But human blood is our best delicacy. When we see it, we naturally crave it!"

Shui Linfeng laughed, "I understand! It's like when I drink alcohol. If I don't drink, I won't die, and everything will be normal. But when I see fine wine, how can I let it go? I'll definitely stay shamelessly and find an excuse to drink it! Anyway, these people aren't my family, and there's chaos right now. What's the point of eating dead people's blood? When you see living people, just drink it!"

Hong Ji suddenly said, "Master! The blood of these dead people hasn't even congealed yet. Those monsters seem to be amateurs at eating human flesh. Look, they eat the flesh but not the heart, drink the blood but not the essence. They're wasting so much. They've given these people a mess of food, just haphazardly gnawing off the flesh from the thighs. The most delicious human heart and the most nourishing blood essence are still perfectly intact in their chests." "If Master agrees, extract the blood essence and hearts of these people and take them away!"

The other six beautiful corpses nodded repeatedly, sighing in regret. Green Princess bit her finger and said, "If Master doesn't have anything to preserve them, that's fine too. Take out these hearts, we'll salt them, and they'll be delicious to eat in winter!"

Purple Princess said woodenly, "These chisels eat people just like Master!"

Shui Linfeng jumped up and said, "Purple Princess! You can't say things like that! When have I ever eaten a person? Even if I did, it was because a demon... " "How could I be like them, being so easily deceived?"

Huang Ji laughed, "Zi Ji is saying that these chisels eat in the same way as their master. Doesn't the master only eat the two chicken legs when eating chicken? He doesn't eat the most delicious parts like the chicken heart and gizzard!"

Shui Linfeng sighed, "Please don't use such comparisons. If you make such comparisons, I'll think of these chisels every time I eat chicken, which will make me extremely nauseous! Hong Ji, there's something I must say. I, the master, will neither take out hearts nor extract human blood essence. Besides..." "An ordinary person only has two or three drops of blood essence per person at most. Even if you extract it, what use is it?"

Hong Ji said, "One drop of blood essence, mixed with a certain amount of water, can be restored to the blood of a person's entire body. Extracting the heart is even simpler. We can just grab it from the air and take it away to savor later when we have nothing else to do. Usually, our master forbids us from hunting large numbers of living people. These people are already dead today, so we might as well take advantage of them! The method of extracting blood essence is a bit complicated, but at the level of the Red-Eyed Drought Demon, it's natural. All of us can do it. We don't need our master to do it, and it's extremely fast. We can extract it while walking.

The only problem is we don't have a place to put it!" Shui Linfeng laughed, "I do have a place. You can put all the blood essence and hearts you get into my gourds. These gourds can not only store people and things, but they can also prevent the things inside from spoiling or getting moldy. There's a layer of peach wine in the red gourd. I'll separate two small spaces for you to put them in!" "If we put them together, what if we accidentally take the wrong one one day? Wouldn't that be disgusting?"

Green Princess said, "Master! Actually, I think human blood tastes much better than your wine. I secretly tasted your wine once and almost vomited. I'm worried that one day you might mistakenly give us your wine to drink as blood!"

Shui Linfeng laughed, "Zombies at your level don't need to live on human blood anymore. Human blood is actually just a kind of food for you, and not even a staple food. It doesn't matter whether you drink it or not. I drink wine just like you drink human blood. It doesn't really matter whether you drink it or not, but having something to drink is better than having nothing to drink!"

Orange Princess said, "Master's analogy is quite apt, that's exactly right!"

Shui Linfeng laughed, "Then why don't you make your move? I also need a lot of souls to refine things. Let's collect them as we go, and find that Great Chisel-Toothed Beast that has the Demon Body Regeneration Golden Scroll. Let's work together and snatch his golden scroll for me!"

As they were talking, a flash of green light appeared and landed in front of Shui Linfeng. Green Princess, who had been looking around to find out what was going on, flew back, her expression not flustered.

Shui Linfeng laughed, "Qingji! Judging from your expression, things should be alright on our side, right?"

Qingji replied, "Those Chiseltooths were routed by our men, and we suffered heavy losses as well. The Chiseltooth leader probably thought our area was too difficult to conquer, and since he hadn't received a direct order to take it down, he actually retreated to find an easier target elsewhere!"

Shui Linfeng found it amusing; these clumsy fools actually possessed some intelligence, and it seemed quite high at that. He asked, "Which unit came and caused such chaos?"

Qingji said, "It was two regiments from the Chen family and two field divisions from Zhang Xian of the Yue family. But they didn't fight like we did; instead, they deployed their entire force, seemingly intending to annihilate this monstrous army of tens of thousands in one fell swoop. However, they suffered heavy losses, being decimated by these monster legions. Machine guns and missiles were completely ineffective. Only now have they stabilized their position..." Using obstacles on the ground, they launched a series of attacks! But the monsters were not afraid of human weapons. The more humans fought, the fewer humans remained, while the monsters died and came back to life repeatedly! Moreover, they used the heavy magic crossbows from the monster army to destroy most of the armed helicopters in the sky! When I flew back, I saw the man from the Ma family jumping and shouting as if he wanted to rush out and fight the monsters! But he was held back by his master's two wives, who told him to hold on!

Shui Linfeng said, "It's that crazy Ma Yunfei again. These things can't be killed, but we die as soon as we fight. It's not worth it at all!"

Hong Ji said, "Master! That's you! We're not like that. They won't be able to hurt the seven of us even a little bit!"

Shui Linfeng handed her the green gourd and told her that it had been separated into two separate layers and was placed on the outermost layer first. He told her to just point the gourd's mouth at what she wanted to collect. But from the red gourd, it summoned the Fish-Dragon Golden Cauldron, which transformed into a small, half-person-sized shape, spinning and flying behind it. Yin and Yang were in harmony, constantly gathering the aimless, wandering souls around.

Along the way, there were only the dead, and some arrows from the Chiseltooth Beasts. These demonic arrows were about three meters long and as thick as duck eggs. Holding them in one's hand, they were no different from spears. Shui Linfeng had an idea. These demonic arrows were the weapons of the Chiseltooth Beasts, so they could kill and wound them just like spirit weapons. He then called seven slave girls, each of them picked a good one to hold, and put the rest of the demonic arrows into the cauldron.

The thousand-acre lake was covered with dead fish, their white plumes floating all over the surface. The lotus leaves and flowers that once filled the lake had all withered, leaving not even a stem. The beautiful scenery of "lotus leaves stretching to the sky, an endless expanse of green" that he had just arrived seemed like a distant memory. The venom of the Azure Dragon had fallen into the lake, killing all the creatures in the lake. The foul-smelling, blackish-green water was constantly churning with layers of foam.

Everywhere were ruins and rubble from the great battle. Shui Linfeng rode on Hong Ji's pink back, flying leisurely along the way, ignoring the deafening cannon fire in the distance, only seeking out cheap spots after the monsters had swept away their prey.

Suddenly remembering the large number of beautiful prostitutes and beasts in Tongtian Pavilion, he slapped Hong Ji's snowy buttocks and pointed to the collapsed Tongtian Pavilion lying across the lake, saying, "Go over there!"

Hong Ji understood, carrying Shui Linfeng, and slowly flew low along the dilapidated lakeside path. On either side, six sexy slave girls were busily digging out hearts and extracting blood essence.

The seven beautiful corpse slave girls, dressed in red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple, were dressed in completely different colors for easy identification. In reality, these clothes were just markings. Each of the seven corpses had a colorful ribbon tied on their forehead, and in front, they wore only a revealing bodice with a colorful ribbon connecting to their pink necks, along with exquisite armbands, arm guards, and collars of the same color.

A two-inch-wide ribbon passed between her breasts, deliberately exposing her two plump mounds. The ribbon ended just below her breasts, but split into two strands that were tied in a colorful knot at her back. Apart from this ribbon, nothing else covered her back. Below, she wore only extremely short hot pants, barely covering her vulva in the front, and jutting out from between her two snowy buttocks in the back, revealing her two plump, white buttocks.

Although the crotch area almost exposed her vulva and anus, it wasn't a thong; the pants were high-waisted, tightly cinched at her slender waist by a two-inch-wide ribbon of the same color. The same color ribbon also tied her thighs tightly, constricting her flesh. Her calves were clad in knee-high, soft leather boots of the same color.

The boardwalk across the lake was littered with corpses, their deaths bizarre and grotesque; almost none were intact, limbs and fragments scattered everywhere. However, not a single corpse of a beautiful prostitute or slave was found. Upon further investigation into the dilapidated Tongtian Pavilion, all the dead were external hires. Several familiar managers and stewards from within the pavilion, along with a large number of beautiful slaves adorned with tassels, had vanished without a trace.

In Chapter Four, "Two Women Fighting for a Husband

," Shui Linfeng, puzzled, used telepathy to inquire about Zhu Wu and the others. It turned out that the underground secret passages of this prestigious inn were not limited to just the fifth detached courtyard. According to Zhu Wu's reply, the Wu brothers and a large number of their confidants, beautiful slaves, and prostitutes were all hiding in the spacious underground secret chamber of the Tongtian Pavilion. Although they couldn't leave for the time being, their lives were quite safe.

Mei Bao said smugly, "The Wu brothers are terrified. They've been trembling the whole time. These two dwarfs are incredibly cruel and vicious when they deal with people, but they're so scared when they encounter a strong enemy. It's truly despicable!"

Shui Linfeng laughed and said, "All those corrupt officials in the world are like this. They're usually extremely fierce to the common people and their subordinates, but they're terrified of foreign invaders. They're just despicable. Don't be fooled by their usual swagger; one slap and they'll be as obedient as dogs. You and Zheng Shuang, don't show off. Even if you give Wu the dwarf a break..." "Even if you're sent out, find a place to hide. This kind of person isn't worth dying for! You are my beautiful slaves. Without my permission, you are not allowed to damage my personal property, understand?"

Shui Linfeng transmitted this message to Zhu Wu, Mai Ting, Shu Chang, and Zheng Shuang simultaneously. Mai Ting immediately protested, "Ting Nu is also Master's private property! Does that mean I can damage it at will?"

Shui Linfeng chuckled and transmitted, "You and Old Zhu are slippery as ghosts. You wouldn't come out looking for death if there was nothing wrong with you. Those two girls are a different story, so I specifically instructed them..." "Take a moment!"

Zhu Wu transmitted his voice, "Has Master been outside the whole time? If you know what kind of creatures attacked, tell this old servant. It'll be good to appease the Wu brothers and gain their trust so they can serve you better in the future!"

Shui Linfeng laughed and told him the key points of the situation outside. Then, his eyes darted around and he said, "Later, when I find the commander Zaochi who's holding the golden scroll, I'll tell Wu the dwarf his location. You and Mai Ting will try to persuade Wu the dwarf to send out a large number of Jinyiwei and experts from the Eastern and Western Depots to help..." "I'll surround them so I can reap the benefits from their attacks, but firstly, I mustn't tell him about the Golden Scroll, and secondly, I mustn't let him send Mai Ting and Shuang Bao out as well!"

Zhu Wu laughed, "That's easy!"

Shui Linfeng and Zhu Wu exchanged a few more words, learning that almost every courtyard in this noble inn had secret rooms and passages. It was just that some of the participating nobles had discovered them, while others hadn't. Wu Dengke hadn't anticipated such a big blunder beforehand. By the time the Chisel Tooth Legion arrived, it was too late to notify the nobles to find secret rooms to hide in.

Meanwhile, Zhang Xian's troops, stationed a hundred miles away, had already deployed their entire regiment of large-caliber self-propelled artillery. Various calibers of artillery were engaged in fierce combat with the demonic beast army in the vast area outside the city's eastern outskirts. The Chen family was also deploying large-caliber cannon units. There was no longer any excitement to be seen in the inn. The seven beautiful corpses flew extremely fast, circling the lake several times in the blink of an eye, collecting all the souls and blood essences, and gathering all the scattered demonic weapons—there was nothing left to gain.

Shui Linfeng, riding on Hong Ji's back, first retrieved the golden cauldron, then transformed back into Xiang Jingyu's face, flying above the No. 5 courtyard. He greeted Tang Ao, Ma Yingfei, and the others, only saying that he would go check the situation again and call him if anything happened, instructing them not to leave until the demonic beasts were all killed!

Tang Lu asked, "Jingyu! Have you found the person who has the Demon Body Regeneration Scroll?"

Shui Linfeng chuckled and said, "It was precisely because of this that I had no choice but to go to the battlefield outside the city. If I didn't seize the scroll, those Chisels would never be eliminated!"

Ma Yingfei sneered, "Riding a flying corpse that has vanished for so long, only returning after half the night, who knows what mischief they've been up to that they don't want us to know!"

Shui Linfeng cried out, "Injustice! I fought bravely for my country and people, risking my life countless times, and..." "It was easy to drive away those four demons who opened the alternate dimension, and you little rascal, how dare you say such things about me!"

Tang Lu retorted, "Ma Yingfei! I'll say it again! I will discipline my husband myself, you don't need to worry about him. It's obvious to everyone that the alternate dimension was closed. Everyone saw it just now, the clouds on the horizon were all swirling together, what else could it be but a fierce battle?"

Shui Linfeng laughed, "My wife still knows how to care for me! I'll go destroy that golden scroll, I'll be right there!"

Ma Yunfei shouted, "Don't go yet, what exactly is it?" "What kind of demons are causing trouble!"

Upon hearing this, Shui Linfeng grabbed Hong Ji's hair and stopped in mid-air, laughing, "Ma Yunfei! Didn't I say demons? It's two demons, two demons. You all know those two demons, they're Jiang Tengjiao and He Zhaobi from the Xue family. When they revealed their true forms, their mouths were bigger than the doors of this hall, and the lake water was made highly poisonous by He Zhaobi's Jade Dragon! One of them was a fat man, and the other was a woman. I've already chased them away with my 'Beautiful Corpse' technique. Oh dear! It's already dawn! Is there anything to eat? Throw some up!"

Tang Lu He said, "There was a chicken last night, which I specially saved for you! I'll have someone bring it right away! Aren't these beautiful corpses hungry?"

Shui Linfeng laughed, "They've drunk enough human blood along the way, how could they be hungry? It's me who's suffering! I can't exactly be expected to cling to a dead man's leg and gnaw on it, can I? Oh, and bring two bottles of wine

while you're at it!" Tang Lu said, "Pah! Pah! It's disgusting! If you dare to eat that stuff, don't even think about kissing me again! You can take the chicken, but I can't give you the wine! If you drink it and accidentally fall off, wouldn't that be bad for me!"

Ma Yingfei, however, with a cold, pretty face, tossed a bottle of fine wine into the air. Shui Linfeng laughed, "Yingfei's being nice to me again. Looks like other people's wives aren't so bad after all!"

Pei Mingmen, standing to the side, asked in confusion, "Sister Tang Lu! I don't understand what you're saying! The charcoal burner from the Xiang family fell off the back of the beautiful corpse while drinking, and his head broke. It's his own bad luck, what does it have to do with you, sister?"

Ma Yunfei said, "Kid! Don't ask questions you don't understand! If Xiang Laohei fell from a great height and accidentally died, then Tang Lu, that little girl, will have a hard time finding someone she likes!"

Shui Linfeng angrily said, "Ma Dapao! You jinx! I'm perfectly fine, how could I fall from the sky! Are you cursing me or what?"

Ma Yunfei laughed loudly, "I am cursing you! You short-lived Xiang Laohei! Tang Lu is still a young girl! If I marry her, she'll definitely be very boring." ，不如你娶我妹妹如何？我家妹妹千娇百媚，又极解风情，还搭上香、飘、芳、华四个极品处子丫头做陪嫁，包你娶回家乐翻天！若是你肯娶我家老妹，我立即就保佑你长命百岁，多子多福！”

马莹菲俏脸通红，唐露粉脸发白，一齐喝道：“闭嘴！”

唐傲清清嗓子道：“云飞！这就是你不对了！你家妹妹早就许给了吴家的登科爵主，还是太阳皇族，身份地位，皆比项兄要高，怎么好反悔再另嫁他人？噢－－！我明白了，是不是你见项兄这次赢了许多钱财，想跟着沾沾光吧？但也不用搭上妹妹啊！”

马云飞道：“唐傲！我才不在乎那些臭钱！吴矮子三分像人，七分倒像鬼，老子见到他就想揍他"That kind of scum isn't even worthy of washing my sister's feet! He even dared to dream of sleeping with my little sister! I spit on him! If my sister is willing to marry, it must be someone as heroic as Brother Xiang. This is not up to her! When I get back, I'll immediately urge Father to cancel the Wu family's engagement, hire another matchmaker, and before she even graduates from university, I'll beat your family to it and marry my sister off to Xiang Laohei right now!"

Tang Lu jumped up and shouted angrily, "Ma Yunfei! How can there be such a scoundrel as you in this world? You're infuriating!"

Ma Yingfei also shouted angrily, "Brother, shut up!

How can you talk such nonsense?" Ma Yunfei shouted, "There are only the two of us in our family, brother and sister. How could I let you jump into a fire pit! If I'm not mistaken, that Wu shorty is cruel, murderous, and heartless! You'll definitely have a bad life if you marry him. Before anyone else touches you, change your fate! Beat the Tang family to it!" Even if Tang Lu marries into the family, you'll still be the boss! Haha! Xiang Laohei is good in every way, just a bit dark-skinned and ugly, but he's still a hero, a thousand times better than Wu Aizi!

Tang Ao rolled his eyes and said irritably, "Ma Yunfei! Today I've learned my lesson. You call me brother all day, but it turns out you're so disloyal!"

Ma Yunfei said, "Fine! I'm doing this for my sister! Say what you want! I'll pretend I didn't hear you!"

Tang Lu jumped up and said, "Damn it! There's such a thing in this world, someone who's already promised to someone else still comes to steal my husband!"

Shui Linfeng, riding on Hong Ji's back, laughed loudly, "Stop arguing! I've said it before, in this life, Ma Yingfei on the left and Tang Lu on the right, regardless of age, are both my dear first wives! Haha!" After saying that, "Slap—!" he slapped Hong Ji's snowy buttocks and flew away with his seven slave wives!

Behind him came the angry snorts of Ma and Tang: "Bah! Dream on!"

Riding on Hong Ji's back, they soared straight into the sky. At a height of 500 meters, Shui Linfeng could barely grit his teeth and endure it. Any higher, and his Qian Yuan True Body would be unable to withstand it. Fortunately, the demon army was too conspicuous a target. From afar, they spotted the densely packed Chiseltooth army on the edge of the eastern hunting grounds, arrayed in battle formation against hundreds of thousands of human troops.

Zhang Xian's two field divisions, who arrived first, were almost all dead. The battlefield was filled with the banners of the Chen family. The Chiseltooth army was also exhausted, but humans and demons could not communicate, so they could only fight a desperate battle to the death.

Four unicorn-like monsters, taller than elephants, rode a four- or five-meter-high, five- or six-meter-wide, and more than seven-meter-long four-wheeled chariot. On it stood the demon army's marshal, his entire body gleaming in armor. Beside the chariot was a spear more than ten meters long, with a sword and arrows hanging from it, looking like a ferocious demon.

Thousands of strong, muscular Chisel-toothed soldiers rode atop rhinoceros-like, elephant-like unicorns, resembling elite human cavalry. They were all fully armored and armed with bows and spears. Surrounding the chariot were crossbowmen, spearmen, shield bearers, shortbowmen, and swordsmen—a dense, imposing force, exuding a chilling aura.

It seemed the Chisel-toothed monsters' level of civilization was only comparable to the Tang and Song dynasties of human history. The entire formation lacked firearms; thankfully, otherwise, these ten thousand Chisel-toothed monsters, if released into the human world, might have wiped out humanity.

Further away, a larger human army arrived to reinforce them, missiles raining down from the sky and artillery shells raining down. The demon army was overwhelmed, rolling on the ground, but suffering few casualties. The demons at the forefront, in turn, slaughtered the human army, leaving corpses strewn across the battlefield and rivers of blood.

Shui Linfeng had his two most powerful slave girls, Hong Ji and Cheng Ji, protect him from the hail of bullets. He hid atop a large tree on a small hilltop to observe the situation. He ordered the remaining five silver-eyed corpses to take the gourd and the golden cauldron and surround the battlefield between humans and demons, focusing on collecting souls and blood essence.

The armor worn by the chisel-toothed demons was strange; it resembled a thin layer of cowhide, yet also a metal-like material. Bullets hitting it made no sound, and the material was like human silk.

Terrifying cannonballs bombarded the armor of these demon soldiers, having no effect whatsoever, fueling their greed, they plotted to plunder it. If they could forge spirit armor from this armor, wouldn't they be able to rampage through human society with impunity?

Just as he was plotting how to get some pieces of demonic armor to refine, a thought suddenly struck him. It was his master, Shao Daoren, communicating with him through a stream of consciousness: "Feng'er! Have tens of thousands of Chiseltooth soldiers been released into your space by you human brats?"

Shui Linfeng replied, "Yes! I'm watching the war between humans and demons! It's absolutely spectacular!"

Shao Daoren said urgently, "Stop watching! Quickly think of a way to help me wipe out all those Chiseltooth soldiers who were mistakenly placed in your space, otherwise, my losses will be huge!"

Shui Linfeng laughed, "Whether a few more or fewer of us mortals die, what difference does it make?" "What does this have to do with you, Master? I'm busy collecting souls! It's so much fun!"

Shao Daoren roared, "You brat! How dare you take advantage of me like this! Quickly think of a way! You'll get your reward!"

Shui Linfeng was puzzled by Shao Daoren's words, but upon hearing there was a reward, his eyes lit up and he said, "Master! Your disciple wants to help you! But those Chiseltooth Legion members have the Demon Body Regeneration Scroll, which allows them to come back to life after death. What should we do?"

Shao Daoren sighed, "The Demon Body Regeneration Scroll was originally placed in your space by me. By chance, it was thrown into another space by a living being." "Space, fine, I'll give that thing to you! Remember this well, this is the incantation for the Golden Scroll. It can regenerate not only demonic bodies, but also human, beast, and demonic bodies. The regenerated body can only be sealed after three days. During these three days, reciting the Demonic Body Regeneration Scroll backwards can restore the resurrected body to its dead state. Those chisel-toothed beasts' mounts are dragon-rhinoceros beasts, which are considered spirit beasts in your human realm and can be further refined. Alright! Stop dawdling! Go and get this done for me!"

Shui Linfeng laughed, "Then what about the benefits you promised, Master?"

Shao Daoren said, "Greedy worm! How could I accept..." "You rascal, do you think I don't know what you're thinking? Alright! I'll add dozens more annotations on refining objects, weapons, and souls to your Yin-Yang Two Elements Great True Essence!"

Shui Linfeng laughed. "Those Chisels are incredibly powerful! I might not be able to defeat them. Since Master is in such a hurry, why don't you come and capture them yourself?"

Shao Daoren said, "No! You can take any of those demonic armor, demonic creatures, and mounts to refine, but don't even think about taking a single Chisel. If even one remains in your human space, it will be a menace. Do you understand? Hurry up and think of a way!"

The voice in his mind disappeared after he finished speaking. Shui Linfeng called out twice, but there was no response. He muttered, "That damned old Taoist! He always leaves me with the hardest tasks to do!" Although he said this, he also wanted to capture all the demons. He immediately picked up the publicly available mobile phone registered under Xiang Jingyu's name and dialed Wu Dengke's number.

Wu Dengke was both scared and annoyed at this moment. He really didn't know where the problem was. Not only had he lost a lot of money betting on this competition, but he had also gotten into this big mess. He really didn't know how to explain it to these nobles after he got out.

Although this underground secret hall was extremely large, it was still crowded with nearly two thousand people. Wu Denggao was very stingy and actually brought in all the beauties and beasts from Tongtian Pavilion.

He originally thought that as long as Chen and Yue's armies arrived, they could repel those unknown monsters. However, several experts he sent out either did not return or came back covered in blood and terrified, bringing back only bad news.

The Wu brothers had never suffered like this before. The perfumed scent wafting from the prostitutes outside no longer held the pleasantness it had yesterday; instead, it was nauseating and made them want to vomit.

Wu Dengke slumped weakly on the sofa, his stomach growling with hunger. This secret room was only for the Wu brothers and a few close confidants to temporarily hide in. Shuangbao stood on either side of him, ensuring his safety at all times. Zhu Wu and Mai Ting sat by the door not far away, seemingly unhurried.

Zhu Wu fanned himself, having already told him about the situation with the monsters outside and made several predictions, advising him to hide a little longer until the army outside had driven away the Chiseltooth Legion and came looking for him.

The generals commanding the troops from the Chen and Yue families outside were not familiar with him. He sent someone to call them to inquire about the situation, and their predictions were almost identical to Zhu Wu's. The human army was too busy to take care of itself, and it was unclear whether there were still demon troops stationed at the Tongtian Pavilion Hotel. Like Zhu Wu, they advised him to stay longer and wait until the victorious troops arrived before coming out.

Outside, there was barely room to step, and even the aisle was crowded with people. Just as he was getting annoyed, his phone rang. He saw it was his old nemesis, Xiang Jingyu, calling. He said irritably, "Is this guy still alive?"

Wu Denggao chimed in, "Who is it?"

Wu Dengke said, "It's Xiang Laohei, the one who beat us by hundreds of billions! Calling me now can't be good news! I really don't want to answer!"

Zhu Wu said, "In these extraordinary times, my lord, you should put aside your grudges and answer the phone!"

Wu Denggao also said, "Yes! Maybe he knows what's going on outside? We'll starve to death here!"

Wu Dengke thought about it and agreed. Anyway, there was nothing wrong now, so he pressed the answer button and said, "It's me! Wu Dengke!"

Shui Linfeng laughed loudly, "Wu the Dwarf! Are you still alive?"

Wu Dengke angrily said, "Lord Xiang! Please show some respect when you speak!"

Shui Linfeng said, "Wu Dengke! I'm asking you! What's going on here!"

Wu Dengke jumped up and down, "You're asking me! Who am I supposed to ask! After this is all over, I don't know how I'm going to explain this to your royal family!

" Lin Feng laughed, "I have my reasons for asking you! The ones who tore open the void and released the demon army were none other than your cousin Xue Meng's two assistants, Jiang Tengjiao and He Zhaobi. When they revealed their true forms, one was a hundred-zhang-long azure dragon, and the other was a seventy- or eighty-zhang-long jade dragon! Their mouths were bigger than the gate of the Tongtian Pavilion, it scared me to death!"

Wu Dengke exclaimed, "How could it be those two? No wonder we couldn't find them after we escaped into the tunnel!"

Wu Denggao, who was also nearby, heard this and shouted, "Luckily we didn't call out ..." "They'll come in, or they'll all be eaten by them. This morning, they'll just turn into shit and come out!"
Chapter Five: Borrowing Cannon Fodder.

Wu Dengke shouted, "Shut up! Don't talk nonsense!"

Shui Linfeng angrily retorted, "Wu the Dwarf! If I spend money on you, you're not human!"

Wu Dengke quickly changed his tone, saying, "Lord Xiang! I'm sorry! I wasn't talking about you, I was talking about my younger brother, talking nonsense for no reason! So what happened afterward?"

Shui Linfeng didn't want him to know the truth at all, partly because she was afraid of trouble, and partly because she was a little vain. If she told him about the seven beautiful corpses, it wouldn't be something that could be explained in a few words, and she might easily expose the truth.

Before calling Wu Dengke, Shui Linfeng had already prepared his answer. When Wu Dengke asked, he calmly replied, "Luckily, Yingfei, Tang Lu, and I rode our spirit beasts up and chased away two stupid snakes. But the entire lake was polluted by the Azure Dragon's venom; it's full of dead fish!"

Wu Denggao snatched the phone and asked, "So now! Are there still demon troops near Tongtian Pavilion?"

Shui Linfeng laughed, "I recognized you! It's Brother Denggao! I was just about to ask you that! You're so stingy! I took advantage of the chaos to run to Tongtian Pavilion to pick up a few beautiful, ownerless female beasts, but I couldn't find a single one. Did you hide them all?"

Wu Denggao laughed loudly, "Exactly! I was just wary of people like Brother Xiang who take advantage of the chaos! What's the situation outside?"

Shui Linfeng smiled, "The demon army has already left Tongtian Pavilion..." "It's safe for now. Right now, Zhang Xian's troops from the Yue family and the 13th and 17th corps of the Chen family, along with the 15th and 20th corps of the Chen family who are on their way, are fiercely fighting the demon army on a front hundreds of miles long near the hunting grounds in the eastern suburbs! Get your brother on the phone, I have something important to discuss with him!"

Wu Dengke took the phone and said, "Go ahead!"

Shui Linfeng said, "I and a few war slaves are hiding on a low hill near the demon army commander's chariot. As the saying goes, to catch the thief, first catch the king. I'd like to ask you to send more experts to help me kill that demon army commander!"

Wu Dengke said, "Brother Xiang, your martial arts are unparalleled, the best in Daze. Since you have war slaves nearby, why not launch a surprise attack and assassinate that demon commander? What do you need me for?"

Shui Linfeng said, "If that's the case, then I'll immediately take my men and return to Nantian. Leave the shit here to others." "Eat up! Seeing this kind of inaction, I knew it was you who caused these demon soldiers! Bye!"

He hung up the phone. Wu Dengke stood there stunned. Wu Denggao asked, "Brother! What happened?"

Wu Dengke explained the situation to several trusted confidants. Yuwen Jing, one of the Twin Monsters of the Northern Underworld, said, "Young Master! It's not that I'm criticizing you, but you're wrong! Although Xiang Jingyu is invincible among humans, those demon soldiers are far superior. Now is not the time to be stubborn. If those demon soldiers were released by those two bastard demons from Xue Meng's family, sir! Think about it! How can your Wu family escape responsibility?"

Zhu Wu also said, "Nantian City is southwest of Lasfala, and the demon army is northeast of Lasfala. If Xiang Jingyu wanted to run, he wouldn't encounter a single demon soldier. The Azure Dragon and the Jade Dragon were driven away by him, Tang Lu, and his wife. Even if he didn't..." " If we tell anyone, the Tang and Ma families will say it too.

Now look what's happened! So many nobles and high-ranking officials have died; how are we going to clean up this mess?" Wu Dengke said, "Then tell me! What do we do now?"

Zhu Wu said, "What else can we do? Immediately apologize to Xiang Laohei, and hand over the experts we sent over to him to command. Kill that demon army commander in one fell swoop, urge the main force to annihilate all the demon soldiers, then sacrifice a pawn to save the king, and push this matter onto that bastard Xue Meng!"

Wu Dengke said, "But what about Auntie...?"

Mai Ting laughed, "What are you thinking about now? If we don't push it onto Xue Meng, then you'll have to bear the consequences yourself!"

Wu Denggao jumped up, "My family will bear it? How can that be! If it were all commoners who died, we could bear it, but since it's all nobles and high-ranking officials who died, how can my family bear it?"

Zhu Wu said, "Since ancient times, it's difficult to defy public anger. If this isn't handled properly, the Wu family might be expelled from the Daze government! There's no time to lose. We need to get out immediately, first to count the dead and wounded nobles, then make proper arrangements for the survivors, and send a large force to evacuate Ras Fara immediately, away from danger. At the same time, notify all the media outlets and do everything possible to pin the whole thing on Xue Meng. As for that aunt of the Xue family, I think you shouldn't acknowledge her anymore; if you soften your stance even slightly, you'll bring trouble upon yourself. Afterwards, to appease public anger, whether the Daze government exonerates or strips the Xue family is none of your business." "Just ignore it and pretend it has nothing to do with the Xue family. Those Chisel-Toothed creatures are different from ordinary wild beasts; they possess intelligence, and it's quite high. My lord, you must not allow this tiger to become a threat. Immediately mobilize more troops and spare no expense to completely annihilate the Chisel-Toothed demon soldiers. Leave no one alive!"

Wu Dengke shook his head and sighed, "It seems that's the only way! I never expected such a result!"

Mai Ting smiled and said, "This result isn't bad! Not only did it test the strength of each family, but so many elite nobles died at once..." "This greatly weakened all the other families. Even better, the Emperor's Chen family and the Lord's Wu family remained unscathed. We even had the opportunity to wipe out the Xue family, a powerful and arrogant clan with three generations of generals, and to seize the entire kingdom within a kingdom within a kingdom spanning thousands of miles around Xue City. The Lord has accomplished so much; the Emperor is already secretly praising him!"

Wu Denggao, his worry turning to joy, said, "Now that you mention it, Mai Ting, we've indeed gained quite a bit. It's just a pity that so many of the Chen family's soldiers died!"

Mai Ting giggled seductively, "Those soldiers, once they've been recruited, they're just..." Those sent to their deaths aren't needed in a critical moment. What's the Great Ze Empire doing maintaining those soldiers? Are they afraid they'll turn to dung? They can just be recruited again; what's so difficult about that? Not only that, there's some additional good news. According to intelligence from the southeast, after Yue Zhengyang hurriedly returned after the competition, he's gone mad, forcibly buying and abusing slaves, and forcibly conscripting civilians into his army. Regardless of gender, anyone he takes a liking to is immediately taken away, supposedly for some kind of superhuman project. In just a few days, he's tortured four or five hundred people to death. The dead were obtained by our people through the underworld at bargain prices. After draining their blood, they were made into frozen meat and sent to the Beast Realm, indirectly helping the Master complete another plan to befriend the Beast Clan! Since our ancestor Yue Lin succeeded his father Yue Fei as commander, stationed in the twelve southeastern provinces, the Yue family has been loyal to the country and loved the people like their own children, enjoying a good reputation among the people. But with Yue Zhengyang's antics, the Yue family's reputation has plummeted!

Yuwen Jing said, "The Yue family's patriarch, Yue Jianfeng, has always been a skilled military leader, and his... " "But he couldn't bear to harm the people of the twelve provinces southeast of Daze, and had always been utterly virtuous. How could

he allow Yue Zhengyang to act so recklessly?" Mai Ting laughed, "That's ancient history. Yue Jianfeng now spends most of his time leisurely in the Yue family mansion by Yandang Lake, focusing on training his only beloved son, Yue Zhengyang. He hasn't been involved in military affairs for three years, and when he does travel, he's in a carriage. How could he possibly know what his precious son has done!"

Wu Dengke said, "Then the four pillars of the Yue family couldn't possibly not know either! They must have informed Yue Jianfeng..." " That's what Feng said!"

Mai Ting laughed. "According to intelligence, the four pillars of the Yue family are led by Liu Gao. They are all young, but exceptionally cunning. All four are commoners, only wanting to amass wealth while in office. They dare not offend Yue Zhengyang, and are very tactful in reporting all military affairs, large and small, to Yue Zhengyang. Without Yue Zhengyang's permission, they never report again to Yue Jianfeng. Yue Jianfeng trusts his son, letting him handle things without interfering. Moreover, Liu Gao and the other three seem to prefer Yue Zhengyang, because they feel..." "Young Yue is much easier to fool than Old Yue. I heard that Ji Qing, one of the Four Pillars, recently sold a batch of dismantled rifles to some organization behind Yue Zhengyang's back. It might be an army secretly raised by the Xue family!"

Zhu Wu said, "The Xue family doesn't actually maintain a private army. Back then, the condition for the Xue family's ancestor to hand over the seal of the commander-in-chief of the three armies of Daze was that he would be granted territory as a kingdom, and the Xue family could have an army of 30,000. In recent years, Xue Wu's generation has not ordered a single gun or bullet from the official weapons companies of Daze. It seems he's been saving money." "The expenses were used to buy old weapons through other channels!"

Wu Dengke gritted his teeth and said, "Put that aside for now! Shu Chang, Zheng Shuang! You two go outside and select thirty male Tiger and Female Leopard members and three hundred Jinyiwei and East and West Depot experts to report to Xiang Laohei and follow his orders. After you kill that Chisel-Toothed Commander, come back and report!"

Zhu Wu said urgently, "My lord, you mustn't!"

Wu Dengke said, "What is it now?" Zhu Wu said

, "My lord, you mustn't send the Twin Leopards out. Recently, the Intelligence Division has lost Lu..." "Gang and Du Biao are two top experts from the Dragon Group, and Shuang Bao can be a perfect replacement! This mission to reinforce Xiang Lao Hei and assassinate that Chisel-Toothed Commander is clearly a matter of life and death. If Shuang Bao is lost, the Lord will lose two more capable subordinates!"

Wu Dengke asked, "Then what do you think, sir?"

Zhu Wu smiled and said, "In my opinion, we can send more people, but not a single top expert from the Thirteen Dragon Souls. Back then, we sifted through thousands of beautiful female martial arts experts from the great rivers and mountains, as well as the military and police, investing a great deal of money." "We were training a new generation of female members for the intelligence division. Among them, the most skilled were fifteen stunning beauties: Yi Yan, Liang Lang, San Long, Si Feng, and Wu Bao. But in the end, it was Shu Chang and Zheng Shuang, the two last-ranked female leopards, who stood out. How could you forget the other three fierce female leopards?"

Wu Denggao laughed and said, "It's also thanks to your reminder, sir. I was confused and gave orders haphazardly. I couldn't possibly assign my best people to that guy surnamed Xiang. Those three female leopards are not bad in martial arts, but while they are fierce, they lack intelligence." "I'm afraid those three team leaders will fall into Xiang Heizi's trap and become cannon fodder!"

Mai Ting laughed, "The men assigned to Xiang Heizi this time are just cannon fodder anyway. The four-meter-tall, one-ton-plus demonic beast, Chiseltooth, is impervious to swords, axes, and cannonballs. Even if we stab it a few times with spirit weapons, do you think it'll be effective, sir?"

Wu Dengke laughed, "That's true! Xiang Heizi has ill intentions! He definitely wants our men to lead the charge, to distract Chiseltooth's commander, and then seize the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow!"

Yuwen Jing said, "Although..." "That's it! We'll have to take a huge risk. If we fail, the people causing trouble on the outside might still have a chance to survive, but Xiang Heizi's life will be in danger!"

Wu Denggao said, "Since someone is willing to risk everything for us, what does it matter if a hundred or so of us die! We'll try anything! If Xiang Laohei succeeds, we'll all be saved. As for the score between us and him, we'll settle it slowly later!"

Shang Liangang laughed, "Xiang Laohei has just won the competition, he must be arrogant and think he's some kind of unparalleled hero." But the Chiseltooth Beast is far beyond human capabilities; I'm afraid Xiang Laohei won't survive this ordeal!"

Zhu Wu laughed, "That's why! Since we're using them as cannon fodder, for this one-way trip, we can't send the best or the worst. If the opponent is too strong, sending the best might result in manpower losses, which would be detrimental to our future work. But sending the worst, which would be completely useless, won't work either; they need to have some lethality!"

Wu Dengke said, "Alright! You know the intelligence bureau's personnel better than I do. As for troop deployment, Elder Zhu, you'll handle it." "Get it done!"

Zhu Wu hurriedly said, "Sir, you flatter me. I was just offering some suggestions! Who goes is up to you!"

Wu Deng shouted, "Old Zhu! What time is it? Still so slow and indecisive! If we delay any longer, that Xiang Heizi might really just pack up and run back to Nantian City! Brother! In my opinion, you should call him immediately, keep Xiang Heizi calm, don't let him leave. Losing such a top expert like him might mean sending any number of men won't be enough! Old Zhu! You must immediately mobilize troops! Give them..." "Give a death order! Just say... just say...!"

Wu Dengke had regained his senses and coldly replied, "Just say that if the mission is not completed, you'll have to answer to me with your head!"

Wu Denggao slapped his thigh and said, "That's right! That's the sentence!"

Seeing that there was a great opportunity to gain, Wu Dengke signaled Zhu Wu to go and dispatch manpower, while he immediately called Shui Linfeng's cell phone. He chuckled wickedly and apologized repeatedly, saying that he had offended him a lot before and that it was his fault. According to Shui Linfeng's suggestion, he would immediately gather his most capable men and come to be under Shui Linfeng's command.

Shui Linfeng had no intention of leaving at all. Far below the hillside, the Chiseltooth Legion's armor gleamed. If he were to charge down with the seven beautiful corpses, the danger would be too great. The Chiseltooth demonic weapons were hundreds of times more lethal than any human weapon. A large number of martial arts masters would need to be willing to serve as cannon fodder to fill the Chiseltooth army's formation. Once the formation was disrupted, he could drive the beautiful corpses at near-light speed to rush up unexpectedly and seize the golden scroll. As for the life or death of the Chiseltooth commander, that was not something he needed to worry about.

They knew that accusing Wu the Dwarf of having a big hat would work. Even if Wu the Dwarf hesitated, with Zhu Wu and Mai Ting as inside agents, luring a group of highly capable cannon fodder shouldn't be a problem. Sure enough, Wu the Dwarf obediently fell into the trap. Zhu Wu then dispatched ten male Tiger Group masters, led by Xuanqing Zhenren of Qingjiang Pavilion, and seven female Leopard Group masters, including three Leopards, along with three hundred top masters from the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Eastern and Western Depots. They arrived at Shui Linfeng's hiding place in a grand and silent manner.

Shui Linfeng was surprised to find that the Intelligence Bureau was actually composed of five renowned Leopards. It seemed that Zhu Wu had overheard that his master, Shui Linfeng, liked top-quality virgins like Xiang Shuchang and Zheng Shuang—beautiful, wild, and delicate—and had sent three more delicacies for his master.

Shui Linfeng instructed six beautiful corpses to lie in ambush a kilometer away, communicating via lightning rings hanging from their nipples. When the rings vibrated, they would attack simultaneously.

Hong Ji, who had concealed her face, stood with her hands behind her back atop a pine tree on the hillside, waiting. She spotted a group of people approaching stealthily. They were all dressed in dark blue suits, with crew cuts, carrying narrow-bladed single-edged swords on their backs and various light and heavy firearms in their hands. Among them were seventeen men and women in different attire, presumably members of the Tiger and Leopard group. This team, handpicked by Wu Dengke from various military, police, and prestigious sects in the Great Swamp, could easily hold off a fully-organized human field division, and even have a chance of victory.

Shui Linfeng gave a whistle, and after the group approached, he leaped down from the tree. Xuanqing Zhenren recognized Shui Linfeng as Xiang Jingyu, who had transformed into him, and led the group up, bowing respectfully.

Three hundred experts stood silently and motionless behind the seventeen. Master Xuanqing introduced them one by one to Shui Linfeng. The other nine male Tiger experts were Mei Jun, the Flying Dragon of the Sea of Hatred; Zhang Chongming, the Divine Whip; Li Yuzhou, the Fat Flood Dragon of the Sea of Chaos; Pu Fang, the Venerable of the Basket of Shaolin; Zhi Chang, the Laughing Monk of Wutai Mountain; Dongfang Ping, the Little Tyrant; Hua Jiang, the Mountain Wolf; Sheng Baiyan, the Three-Headed Bald Eagle; and Han Sha, the Ugly Vajra.

The seven female Leopard Group members were Shang Xiangyun, the Flying Leopard; Yu Shengxiang, the Jade Leopard; Hua Nongchun, the Flower Leopard; Chen Bingbing, the Whispering Fairy; Xu Rujing, the Painted Eyebrow Bird; and Li Xiaoran, the White Feather Demon.

When Shui Linfeng looked at the three beautiful leopards, he saw that the three women were lithe and graceful, with full breasts and picturesque faces. Their eyes and eyebrows were high and slanted upwards, exuding a heroic and dashing air. Like Shu Chang and Zheng Shuang, they were both wild and beautiful, with a fierce look in their pink faces. They seemed impossible to get close to any man in the world, but the more beautiful they were, the more they aroused the desire to strip them naked and have sex with them for a day.

The seventeen people below Da Yan Sanren, having been in the martial world for a long time, knew that this was a death sentence. However, their sect was subject to the Da Ze government, and even such a death order had to be carried out.

Shui Linfeng laughed nonchalantly, "Everyone saw it! These chisels can't be destroyed at all. We're just fighting to the death, doing our best!"

Dayan Sanren said bitterly, "We came here with the determination to die. We'll only obey Lord Xiang's orders!"

Shanbeizi Hua Jiang died at Mei Jie's place, saying hatefully, "With this kind of formation, we have no chance of winning. If Lord Xiang wants to be a hero and die, he doesn't need to drag us down with him!" Shaolin

Pu Fang chanted a Buddhist prayer and said, "Benefactor Hua, there's no need for this! Dying sooner or later, no one can escape it. If I don't go to hell, who will?"

Shui Linfeng laughed, "If everyone bravely steps forward, maybe none of us will die. We might just have a different master!"

Hua Bao Hua Nongchun said sweetly, "Lord Xiang eagerly summoned us..." "Come on, you wouldn't want to drag a few people along as capital to surrender to that demon general, would you?"

Little Tyrant Dongfang Ping shouted loudly, "Die! I'm not afraid, but Lord Xiang! Look! Even those large-caliber cannons can't break through the Chisel Tooth Army Formation. How can our three hundred-plus people possibly accomplish anything!"

Shui Linfeng laughed, "You secretly approach the Chisel Tooth Army Formation, sneak into their heart, and attack from all sides, using your magic to kill the enemy! Disrupt their formation, and I, the Lord, will have my own ingenious methods to defeat them!"

Henhai Feilong Mei Jun rolled his eyes and said, "Nonsense! In broad daylight, how can we hide from those demonic beasts and sneak into the formation to fight! Xiang Jingyu! You're dreaming!"

Everyone was facing imminent calamity. Charging down meant death, and failing to complete the mission and returning meant death as well. They spoke recklessly, showing no respect for Shui Linfeng.
