Chapter 570: Saying Hello
Because the great bridge up ahead existed, everyone involuntarily ignored the cliffs that followed.
This place was where the Godscions would truly make their move.
Compared to plunging into the surging great river, this situation was much better; for ordinary people, being buried alive and falling into a turbulent great river were not all that different.
Survival odds were very low for both.
But for exorcists, as long as the cascading rocks and earth did not smash them all to death in the very first instant.
The remaining exorcists, even if buried, could use their sacred weapons to carve out a path to survival.
In addition, there was the shelter of the carriages, so losses would not be too severe.
A group of exorcists gathered together; as long as a few generals did not die, they could rescue all the survivors.
This was also what Abel needed — he did not want the constantly gathering exorcists to be wiped out to a man; if this hundred-plus powerful fresh fighting force all went down, who would help him kill those few brothers and sisters?
Amid the thunderous rumbling, Holt gripped his greatsword, about to cleave open the carriage roof with one strike and shatter those falling rocks.
Minimize losses as much as possible.
"Don't panic."
Tang Luo's steady voice rang out, spreading through the entire train; every exorcist heard his voice.
With a casual wave, Tang Luo tore open the carriage roof and appeared atop the train.
Above his head, rocks and earth poured down, mixed with no small amount of vegetation.
The train kept moving forward, but it was clearly impossible to dodge these falling objects; many rocks were sizable, and smashing or crushing carriages would be child's play.
Golden light flashed on Tang Luo atop the carriage, expanding to form a thin circular curtain of light that in an instant enveloped the entire train, along with the rails beneath his feet.
"Keep going, don't stop." His voice reached the ears of the train crew up ahead.
The giant rocks, earth, and vegetation striking the "Undying Xuanjin Body" could not stir the slightest ripple on the thin light curtain.
Amid thunderous roars and shaking, the train emerged unscathed, smoothly charging through this section and easily shaking off the death zone behind.
Only after leaving the canyon and reaching open ground on both sides did the train's speed slowly come to a halt.
The exorcists were shaken, chattering amongst themselves — what did the savior big shot just do?
It seemed he had blocked out all those falling things entirely; not only did the train suffer not a scratch, but its forward momentum was not hindered in the slightest.
How was this done?
Why is someone else's Sacred Heart this strong?
Ordinary parasitic exorcists just "transform," don't they?
Even someone as strong as General Dupont can at most throw a fireball.
When it comes to Tang Luo, it's so comprehensive — should we praise him as truly worthy of the legendary Savior?
That trace of hostility toward the otherworlder had melted away like ice and snow during the previous power boost; now, toward Tang Luo, all the exorcists felt only deep reverence, even awe.
Even without going through the five generals, Tang Luo could now command this group of exorcists.
Gripping this sharp blade in his hand.
"Captain, just now that was…" Tang Luo returned to the carriage; Holt and the others were also somewhat curious.
What was that thing just now?
"An expanded version of the defense buff." Tang Luo said.
The Xuanjin Undying Body actually has nothing to do with the "Blood Talisman · Iron Armor"; it originated from the "Parry" skill.
Originally, to reach the pinnacle of defense and form an absolute defense required using it in conjunction with the Liuli Pure Garment — now the Jinlan Kasaya works too.
But just now a slight test of the knife was enough to easily block the collapsing debris.
As for those demons who caused the cliff collapse, Tang Luo casually swatted them all to death with a single palm.
Another chunk of merit power entered his account; one must say, to Tang Luo this world is practically a treasure vault.
It's just a pity he is a gold-devouring behemoth; even such a treasure vault cannot truly satisfy him.
"The defense buff can be extended to the train too?" Dupont asked.
"No, I cast the defense buff on myself, then expanded it outward from my own body." Tang Luo said.
Dupont nodded, suddenly enlightened: "Then can we do it?"
"No." Tang Luo said; the Iron Armor Talisman can only clothe a person in a layer of invisible armor, it has no effect on objects.
Nor can it be expanded onto surrounding things.
Even if Tang Luo completely mastered this skill, this point would not change; only the quality of the drawn talismans would be a tier higher, and they could be drawn at will.
Reflected in the various talismans, the Flight Talisman can fly higher and faster.
The Iron Armor Talisman has stronger defense, the Invisibility Talisman has better invisibility effect.
The duration of all talismans uniformly becomes longer.
There will not be a situation where an Iron Armor Talisman puts "Iron Armor" on a mountain.
Unless Tang Luo deeply researches and alters the divine ability at its root — but that is not Tang Luo's forte.
His forte is developing toward stronger, more fierce directions.

"What do this group of exorcists gathering on a large scale want to do?"
When the exorcists kept converging and were about to arrive at their destination, the remaining three Godscions finally reacted.
The three gathered together.
"Last time they killed Lust." That fragile, slender girl said, "This time I'm afraid they're targeting us."
The girl's human name was Xila; more often, she called herself "Godscion · Slaughter."
Unlike the Godscion · Lust who had the ability to control others, that seemingly frail body of the girl contained an extremely terrifying power.
She was the incarnation and representative of slaughter.
The strongest attack power among the divine descendants.
"All the way here, the target is clear, they seem to have grasped our position, but... what a bunch of idiots." The middle-aged man Larry revealed a sinister smile, "Do they think they can kill us like this?"
"What is Abel doing?" The old man Simon asked.
"I don't know, probably still investigating news, he said he blocked the enemy several times but failed." Xila said, "A cowardly guy, no need to bother with him."
"Let him come together, and we will exterminate these demon hunters in one go, for revenge. Also as a gift for the master's awakening." Larry said.
"Isn't the master supposed to awaken only after one year?" Xila said.
Larry sneered: "After the master awakens, seeing us completely eliminate all obstacles, isn't that the best gift?"
The other two exchanged glances, each nodding.
Since the demon hunters have taken action, these divine descendants naturally cannot retreat.
"Let us invite them to join this feast of death." The girl Xila laughed, her eyes flashing with blood-red light.
Not far away, suddenly came the terrified cries of people.
Then came wave after wave of demonic wails and roars of "Demon hunter..."
"This city will be their grave." Larry then said.
Before reaching the location specified by Tang Luo, the demon hunters suddenly received astonishing news.
Near their destination, a city had erupted in a demon disaster.
Yes, not just a few demons appearing in the city to cause destruction and then disappear.
But a direct outbreak of "demon disaster," with hundreds, even thousands of demons appearing, turning the city into a demon's nest.
According to the survivors who escaped, those demons occupied the city and issued a notice to the demon hunters.
If the demon hunters do not reach the target within the time limit, then the demons will slaughter the city, turning it into a true dead city.
After receiving the news, the demon hunters were all somewhat surprised.
Originally thought it was a trap, but it really turned into an open showdown?
According to the survivors—or rather, the informants who deliberately leaked the news—the one making the demand is not a demon.
But a person, a very beautiful girl.
If it weren't for that girl being too fierce, her hands full of blood, she might have attracted many people to fawn over her.
Well, even so, there are those who fear no death and would fawn, even if they died, they would still lick.
Then those people sought benevolence and got benevolence, dying, fully illustrating what it means to be a sycophant without a house.
"Don't panic, we are professional demon hunters, we won't be afraid. You said that girl, does she look like this?" Facing the anxious informant, Tang Luo took out that portrait.
The informant looked, nodded repeatedly, yes, it's this woman!
Unfortunately, that day it was too dark, couldn't see clearly what this woman was wearing, only saw her approaching face clearly.
"Then, have you seen these few people?" Tang Luo took out another three portraits.
The informant glanced, shook his head, indicating he had not seen these three people.
"Alright, you go back and wait for news." Tang Luo stood up, "Once we rescue the hostages, we will notify others immediately."
"Okay, then you hurry up, my friend is still in the city. Bring more people, there are too many demons!" The informant said.
"Okay, okay." Beside him, a demon hunter sent the person away.
Tang Luo walked out of the room, began to muster the troops.
Half an hour later, all the demon hunters had gathered on the square.
A total of two hundred and fifty-one, plus over a hundred more demon hunters still on the way, needing time.
However, this number is about enough, no need to wait.
"What happened, I suppose everyone already knows, nonsense I don't want to say more, follow me, kill the enemy."
Tang Luo didn't waste words, turned and walked away.
Now their location is not far from the city where the demons have chosen for the great battle, whip the horse to go faster, a few hours and they arrived near the city.
"At least seven hundred low-level demons, over two hundred medium-level demons, high-level demons visible are twenty."
A demon hunter with scouting ability reported the information back.
On the streets of that city, several important entrances and exits were firmly occupied by demons, and in the sky there were more than twenty high-level demons.
They used tentacles to support themselves into the high air, looking down on the entire city, bringing the city completely under their control.
"Captain, how should we act?"
Outside the city, all the demon hunters looked toward Tang Luo, waiting for his order, the distance to that city now only a few hundred meters.
The demon hunters were temporarily covered by a demon hunter's ability, forming a blind spot, not detected by the demons.
If we want to attack, it is already at the limit position.
"I'll go say hello first, you follow up."
Tang Luo's body rose into the air, actively breaking the disguise, all the demon hunters were instantly exposed to the demons' sight.
"Demon hunter..."
A huge wail and howl came, originally just a pure sound, but now it had the power to seize people's souls.
Not a few demon hunters' faces turned pale, even unable to grip their holy weapons tightly.
"This sound is strange."
Du Bo whispered a sentence, wanted to retaliate with a super big fireball, but seeing Tang Luo in the sky, he immediately gave up.
How will the captain greet them... really looking forward to it.
In the sky, Tang Luo rose slowly and steadily, while approaching the city.
He saw in the demon crowd, three extremely conspicuous existences, a girl, a middle-aged man, and an old man.
"Looks like they are all here, then it's convenient."
Tang Luo aimed his hand at the city, and in his sight, his palm perfectly covered the entire city, holding it completely in his grasp.
Nirvana Glazed Palm Seal!
His five fingers closed, and the entire city rose from the ground, intact, as Tang Luo tore it forcibly from the earth, then turned his palm—heaven and earth overturned!
A great number of demons and humans, along with chaotic debris, rained down from the sky.
Many people transformed into demons mid-air.
The number of demons increased once again.
True humans were enveloped by an irresistible force from head to toe, flying back into the city, as gravity lost all meaning at that moment.
The demons, along with the three unprepared divine offspring, fell into the newly formed pit.
"Go, kill them all."
Setting the city aside, Tang Luo, having exchanged greetings, gazed at the makeshift tomb he had just created, "The Dharma is boundless——"
