The 300,000-strong infantry corps, upon entering Wind and Snow City, felt as if they had stepped into hell.
They had even forgotten what they came to do.
Now, all they wanted was to escape.
It was simply too terrifying!
This nation was truly not to be trifled with!
However, their path was blocked by a group of elders with white hair and youthful faces, looking kind and amiable.
This group of elders, referred to as a group, only numbered fifteen or sixteen.
Each one was withered and frail, as if they could be blown away by a strong gust of wind at any moment.
Moreover, unlike those sword-wielding, powerful Golden Core experts, these elders possessed no aura whatsoever.
Even the old Taoist among them, who appeared to be holding a precious sword and勉强 looked somewhat dignified, didn't seem to have any formidable magical treasures.
One of them was even as short as a dwarf, and his body was covered in scorched marks and torn flesh, as if he had been struck by lightning countless times.
The 300,000-strong army, upon seeing this, rejoiced and couldn't help but laugh!
"Hahahaha! A bunch of old geezers dares to obstruct us?"
"Utterly ignorant, this is simply laughable. I could crush ten of these wastes with one foot!"
"It seems the small Tang Dynasty is truly devoid of talent, actually sending a group of decrepit old fools to their deaths?"
"Do they think they can make us feel guilty by using these old people?"
"Hahahaha, I've slaughtered more than a hundred Tang Dynasty elders. This amount isn't even enough to fill a gap in my teeth!"
"Brothers, charge! Tear these old fellows into pieces, and let those Tang people know the might of my Buddhist Kingdom of Tianzhu!"
The 300,000-strong army suddenly drew their blades, and a chilling killing intent soared into the sky.
If they couldn't deal with those Golden Core big shots, surely they could handle this group of small fries, right?
It was as if they were about to welcome not 300,000 soldiers, but children returning home from school.
The short, dwarfish old man with scorched flesh and torn skin smiled indifferently and said:
"Two thousand years... the soldiers of the Buddhist Kingdom of Tianzhu are still so naive."
The old Taoist stepped forward respectfully and said:
"The young people these days are truly energetic. This junior will quiet them down."
The elders nodded.
"Please."
Then, the old Taoist soared into the sky, gently floating down with a palm strike!
In that instant, the world seemed to fall silent.
With that palm strike, a gentle breeze swept past, and the 300,000-strong army didn't even feel the slightest surge of magical power.
They only felt as if something was attracting their souls.
Then, in the next second, tens of thousands of soldiers suddenly widened their eyes, their pupils dilated, and all signs of life vanished.
Without warning, without any injuries, they fell to the ground.
They fell in large numbers, tens of thousands of soldiers!
Seeing this move, the Tianzhu army was so frightened that their faces turned green!
"Damn it!! He is the Southern Departure Immortal of Dragon Tiger Mountain!"
"The Southern Departure Immortal who is always full of energy during wartime? He's always involved in wars with the Tang Dynasty! How is he still not dead!"
The old Taoist chuckled.
"When I was in Northern Reed Continent, an immortal stroked my head, and my cultivation advanced greatly. I comprehended this move, named... Touch and Instantly Perish."
In an instant, the Tianzhu soldiers were terrified.
This was the ancestor of Dragon Tiger Mountain, nearly a thousand years old. In recent years, the Southern Departure Immortal had actively participated in every Tang Dynasty war!
Moreover, his cultivation was extremely high. Even a hundred Golden Core cultivators combined might not be enough to defeat him!
"Wait, he is the Southern Departure Immortal, and those people whom even he calls senior..."
At this moment, the people of the Buddhist Kingdom of Tianzhu suddenly felt that something was wrong!
The dozen or so elders finally couldn't restrain themselves any longer.
Except for the short, scorched old man, the other elders all made their moves!
A gaunt old man with a white lantern and a long tongue gently flicked the horsetail whisk in his hand.
A dark green aura surged towards the army.
The soldiers who were touched by the green aura didn't even go through the process of rotting. They instantly turned into skeletons.
The people of the Buddhist Kingdom of Tianzhu cried out in alarm,
"The Poison Master lineage of Yin Soul Valley, who suppressed millions of vengeful ghosts?! Weren't they rumored to have been wiped out long ago? How did they reappear?!"
"No, no, no... That old woman in the sky is... Shiva of the Snow Mountain? Run!"
The soldiers hadn't even had time to endure the Poison Master's poisonous gas.
They saw an old woman in white suddenly soar into the sky, scattering starlight in the air.
"Poison Master, you are too cruel. This old woman can't bear to see bloodshed..."
The starlight fell like snowflakes, and all the soldiers who touched it, even if they only touched a single flake, instantly turned into ice sculptures!
In an instant, it was as if an icy wind had swept through, and thousands of lifelike ice sculptures appeared on the field.
A wizened old man carrying a gourd made of sand on his back stood up and smiled:
"Ice sculptures alone won't do. We need sand sculptures too."
So the old man put down the desert gourd behind him.
In the next second, the ground instantly collapsed, turning into a huge sinkhole!
All the soldiers who tried to escape stepped on the quicksand and were directly swallowed up.
No matter how strong the soldiers were, they couldn't escape the quicksand's devouring.
The 300,000-strong army was on the verge of collapse.
"The Heng River Taoist?! One sand, one world, wasn't he announced to have passed away long ago? How did he come too?!"
Then, they suddenly felt a breeze blowing, with beautiful cherry blossoms mixed in the air.
The cherry blossoms pierced through the soldiers' bodies the moment they touched them.
And those soldiers seemed to be oblivious, continuing to run wildly, but as they ran, their upper bodies completely separated from their lower bodies.
Until the ground was covered in broken corpses, the beautiful cherry blossoms fell on all the soldiers, like innocent gravediggers.
Only those who had witnessed the horror of the cherry blossom corpse shattering knew that it was the most terrifying cherry blossom in the world!
"Cherry Blossom Blood Princess, it's over, everything has come!"
"This great figure only went to the Buddhist Kingdom of Tianzhu five hundred years ago, killing thousands of Tianzhu Buddhist soldiers. How is she still alive? Didn't the Bodhisattva say the demon had already gone to hell?"
At this moment, the 300,000-strong army was on the verge of collapse.
In fact, they had already begun to rout!
Each and every one of them fled back with all their might, completely unwilling to face these dozen seemingly ordinary old men!
There was no way to fight, they were not on the same level at all!
"Run, run quickly!"
"I would rather face those hundred Golden Core experts than face one of these old men!"
"Too terrifying, how are these old monsters still alive, and even coming out to fight! Bullying people!"
If the 300,000-strong army were to scatter and rush into Wind and Snow City, it would probably cause a great deal of trouble.
However, at this moment, the dwarf-like old man finally stood up.
With one step, he directly crossed to the front of the 300,000-strong army, looking at them kindly.
