Chapter 745: The Poor Monk Let You Leave?

"These people arrived fast!"

The three arrows had no effect, and Xia Jianjia's heart sank slightly; cultivators this powerful generally wouldn't show up this quickly.

"That guy Tian Xiezi, hmph!"

The three who appeared completely ignored the crowd approaching the Kingdom of Daughters, instead chatting away on their own.

Xuan Daozi let out a cold snort, his tone revealing considerable displeasure toward Tian Xiezi.

"This works too — those trash coming in would just be an eyesore!" Tu Xing smiled coldly; he liked fighting, especially fighting Heavenly Demons.

Because Heavenly Demons fought fiercely without fear of death, they were far better than cultivators.

Many cultivators looked presentable enough, but when it came to actual life-and-death slaughter they were utterly disgraceful — especially when hit by his, Tu Xing's, blood-fiend aura, some even begged for mercy on the spot.

Fighting them wasn't satisfying at all.

Therefore, slaughtering Heavenly Demons was what Tu Xing wanted.

What? Why not seek out experts stronger than himself to fight — they certainly wouldn't put on a show of total collapse.

Tu Xing wasn't stupid; fighting someone on par with himself was fine.

Fighting someone a bit stronger was also fine, but fighting someone far stronger — wasn't that courting death?

Heavenly Demons were still the best; regardless of strength, that ferocity and madness in slaughter benefited Tu Xing greatly.

Tu Xing was one of the few cultivators who had entered the Holy Land and didn't care about heavenly materials and earthly treasures, nor about rewards.

"We'll just grind down the Heavenly Demons' edge, wear away that sharp blade, so our disciples can temper themselves better." The Beast Taming Gate cultivator said.

"Heh, can your disciples even get in?" Xuan Daozi said.

Outside the vortex gate, that guy Tian Xiezi had laid down his New Moon Sword Formation, blocking many cultivators from entering the Heavenly Demon Holy Land.

Concrete action representing his stance — standing on the Heavenly Demons' side.

Infuriating many cultivators.

But it was useless, because Tian Xiezi wasn't stupid; the sword formation he laid down had limited power, only able to block cultivators who weren't strong.

For those powerful cultivators, passing through the sword formation into the Heavenly Demon Holy Land was no problem at all.

Like Xuan Daozi, Tu Xing, and the others, they walked in completely unscathed.

The sword formation didn't even deliberately block them.

Showing Tian Xiezi's wisdom.

"If they really want to enter, would Tian Xiezi really dare act outrageously and block us then?" The Beast Taming Gate cultivator smiled confidently.

Tian Xiezi was very strong, no mistake.

But he wasn't strong enough to make two sects yield simultaneously; even if the two sects' cultivators present now were no match for Tian Xiezi.

Tian Xiezi could suppress all heroes, but the two great sects didn't have only this many people.

If he really slapped them in the face then, provoking even stronger sect forces to emerge, Tian Xiezi alone — he wouldn't know how he died.

Compared to that time, the Solitary Moon Sect would be happy to see it happen, and might even provide covert assistance.

"So much nonsense."

Tu Xing glanced at the two chatting, then stepped forward on his own initiative, meeting the Kingdom of Daughters' experts head-on.

Against cultivators this powerful, a small elite squad could exert greater effect than an army.

Unless Xia Jianjia had already decided to expend lives to wear them down, grinding these people to death the hard way.

But even though cultivators couldn't fly for a period after entering, the possibility of grinding them to death this way was still almost zero — unless these cultivators had already penetrated deep into the Kingdom of Daughters' interior.

Right now they're just outside the gate; if they want to leave, they can't be stopped.

Tu Xing laughed loudly: "Come!"

The large black ring-blade in his hand chopped out directly, black light condensing on the blade; his combat style was closer to a martial artist's.

Against Tu Xing's six-person squad, at the first clash two were instantly injured.

And they were heavily injured.

"Not enough!"

Tu Xing frowned in dissatisfaction, even deliberately pausing to give these Heavenly Demons a chance to catch their breath.

They came too early this time; the Heavenly Demons aren't strong enough yet.

The words barely fell when a faint flash of light appeared on the two heavily injured Heavenly Demons, and they actually stood up again.

Tu Xing was startled; the six experts closed in again.

The moment they moved, a faint, barely audible voice drifted from the horizon — "Buddha's Dharma is boundless."

In an instant, the six's auras surged by more than a little.

The Kingdom of Daughters experts who had gone down in one exchange just now, as if divinely aided.

The six joined forces, and for a time actually pressed Tu Xing back, gaining the upper hand.

"They're really monks?"

"Just who are these people!"

The Beast Taming Gate cultivator and Xuan Daozi's expressions changed slightly.

Why would there be monks in the Heavenly Demon Holy Land?

It was common knowledge that Heavenly Demons loathed monks — to what extent?

At first, when the Heavenly Demon Holy Land initially appeared, there were still Buddhist disciples coming to join the fun, wanting a share of the spoils.

Later there were none; why were there none?

Because once monks entered the Heavenly Demon Holy Land, they became priority targets, chased to the ends of heaven and earth.

After experiencing this a few times, Buddhist disciples stopped appearing.

Too miserable — they got no benefits, had to constantly block blades for others, and endured all kinds of mockery.

We're not getting involved in this Heavenly Demon Holy Land matter.

Thus, the Heavenly Demon Holy Land affair became unrelated to the Buddhist disciples.

But now, that "this poor monk," this Buddha-name — where on earth did it come from?

The Beast-Taming Gate cultivator and Xuan Daozi's gazes were like lightning, sweeping the surroundings — empty, nothing there.

They didn't see that mysterious person or any mysterious force that suddenly popped up.

"Go."

The Beast-Taming Gate cultivator raised a hand, and a strange beast leapt from his wide sleeve, only finger-length, like a snake yet not a snake, looking like some bizarre insect.

Named "Seeking Insect," it excelled at tracking and searching.

Even within the Beast-Taming Gate, it was a rare "supreme treasure."

This time it was originally meant to find the Flat Peaches.

But the situation seems to have changed now, so naturally they had to find the one playing ghost first.

After releasing the Seeking Insect, the Beast-Taming Gate cultivator couldn't spare the attention to control it; including Xuan Daozi, both were similarly caught in the Daughter Country experts' joint attack.

Not only that, an army appeared, surrounding the three of them in a tight encirclement.

Even if the three wanted to break out, they'd have to pay a price.

Faint light flashed once, twice, three times.

Blindingly bright.

Xuan Daozi, Tu Xing, and the others nearly coughed up blood.

The more they fought, the more they felt something was wrong.

These Heavenly Demons were not only well-trained and powerful — they couldn't be killed!

Precisely speaking, once injured, a faint light would flash over their bodies and they'd be inexplicably healed.

Not only that, the Heavenly Demons seemed to have donned invisible armor.

Giving them extremely tyrannical defense; their magic treasures and spells struck down, yet couldn't break through in a short time!

Where did these invisible armors come from?

From Dao talismans flying from the horizon and landing on these Heavenly Demons — yes, first it was "this poor monk," then "Buddha's Dharma is boundless," and now Dao talismans!

At first there were only two or three Dao talismans.

Still acceptable.

But suddenly, blood-colored Dao talismans came overwhelmingly, not only landing on the Heavenly Demons besieging them to form invisible armor.

They also landed on the surrounding Heavenly Demon army.

That scene — sky-full of blood-colored Dao talismans flying and falling, blood light flashing past in an instant!

Xuan Daozi and the others swore they'd seen the wealthiest cultivators in the cultivation world, but even Duobao Daoren couldn't toss out such a quantity of Dao talismans at once.

Let alone that these Dao talismans' power wasn't weak!

One could even describe it as quite remarkable — even a single sheet taken alone would count as fairly precious, able to fetch a good price.

Now these Dao talismans were "falling like rain" as if they cost nothing!

Just who is it!

Xuan Daozi's trio nearly coughed up blood — just what mysterious force was so lavishly wealthy as to try to smash them to death with Dao talismans?!

"Integrated and mastered, not bad."

Before the Wordless Tombstone, Tang Luo still sat cross-legged, but had changed direction, gazing toward Shanhai Pass.

His gaze spanned the distance between the two, taking in the scene there entirely.

A hand stretched out, casually drawing talismans in the void, a toss.

Blood Talisman · Iron Armor — this technique wasn't the earliest Blood Talisman series skill Tang Luo learned.

The earliest learned was Flight, but later Tang Luo integrated and mastered the Ghost Shadow Step and Lotus Step, fusing them into his own divine ability: Lotus Blooms Every Step.

Flight Talismans saw less use — Zhu Bajie, Ao Yulie, Xiaotian Dog, and Sha Wujing can all fly.

It was the Iron Armor skill that saw more subsequent use.

The later comer surpassed the earlier; it integrated and mastered during this mission.

After integration, this divine ability truly "cost nothing."

Just a bit of Qi and blood — to Tang Luo, it wasn't even a thing, not even a drop in the bucket.

Like a single spray in the vast ocean, probably.

Xuan Daozi, Tu Xing, and the others gradually fell into despair.

They were now completely trapped in the battle formation, the surrounding Heavenly Demon soldiers forming a mincing momentum.

Clearly only a hundred meters from the Vortex Gate, yet unable to charge out.

Those damn invisible armors reduced their divine abilities' power to not even one-tenth.

Tang Luo's integrated Blood Talisman · Iron Armor — its defense naturally couldn't be mentioned in the same breath as when it was merely a skill.

"Nuwa bloodline's lingering power? Seems a bit strange..." Tang Luo watched the scene outside Shanhai Pass, murmuring.

Being able to achieve such a marvelous effect wasn't solely relying on his Blood Talisman · Iron Armor.

There was also Boundless Buddha Dharma, Enlightenment — without those experts' initial consumption, Xuan Daozi and the others wouldn't have so easily fallen into the quagmire, unable to escape even with wings.

Likewise, one extremely important point was the power of these Nuwa descendants.

Condensed into a single force, difficult to break individually.

On Shanhai Pass, Xia Jianjia's expression was extremely complex; she had already prepared to act, never expecting they'd now win so easily.

Even, not a single casualty — any that occurred were instantly healed.

Those dozens of experts had already changed appearance, hiding among ordinary soldiers, occasionally giving Tu Xing and the others a cold shot.

Tu Xing and the others' injuries gradually worsened, their counterattacks growing increasingly feeble.

The surrounding soldiers had already been rotated three times, orderly and disciplined, giving them no opportunity whatsoever — not even a chance to take medicine.

As cultivators of profound cultivation, to meet a slow death in this manner was something they had never imagined.

"..."

With a muffled groan, the Beast Taming Gate cultivator fell first; his own strength was the weakest among the three, after all, he was from the Beast Taming Gate.

The strongest were not the cultivators themselves, but the demonic beasts they had tamed; yet his greatest reliance, his demonic beast, was too large to enter.

"Fight to the death!"

Seeing the Beast Taming Gate cultivator hacked to death by chaotic blades, even his nascent soul ground away and erased by blades carrying baleful qi.

Tu Xing and Xuan Daozi instantly chose to abandon their bodies; with their cultivation, if luck was good enough, they could preserve their lives for a time as nascent souls.

Both their bodies and magic treasures self-destructed simultaneously, erupting with incomparably powerful force.

The iron-barrel-like military formation was instantly torn apart, suffering severe damage.

Nascent souls clinging to their sole remaining natal magic treasures, they turned into two streaks of light, about to fly out the vortex gate in an instant.

"Did this poor monk say you could leave?"

A calm and peaceful voice drifted from the horizon, yet like a cold wind blown from the nine nether hells.

The air rippled, faintly forming the shape of a palm.

Enveloping the two horrified ones' magic treasures and nascent souls, it clenched, and closed!

The magic treasures shattered into fragments, the fragments then turning to dust under irresistible might.

Nascent souls like burst bubbles, dispersed on the spot; both their forms utterly perished.

Using blood talismans to smash doesn't mean absolutely not making a move.

Since you've come, then don't leave.

This kind of move doesn't affect the little girl's troop training.
