Chapter 133 Devastated
Zhao Wumian is so brave.
If he was not afraid of killing Zhang Tianqi and preventing a fight between the two sides, he would have thrown all the fifteen Heavenly Thunder Seeds found in Lingyuan Cave into the meeting hall.
However, even if there are only eight of them, the power is strong enough.
Zhang Tianqi was extremely shocked and angry, but he also knew that the Heavenly Thunder would explode if touched, and needed to be resolved with soft power. Unfortunately, Zhang Tianqi and the others were all taking the tough approach, and the opponent's firing technique was also very sophisticated and at an extremely fast speed, so he could only rush to various places to dodge as soon as possible.
boom--
Shocking noise!
Flames shot up into the sky accompanied by thunder and lightning, reaching a height of dozens of feet, making the entire dark sky as bright as day!
Boundless flames instantly engulfed the meeting hall. The huge fire was centered on the main room and swept across an area of dozens of feet in radius. The surrounding houses and gardens were razed to the ground in an instant and turned into nothing!
Zhang Tianqi and others were the leading figures among Zhang Shicheng's former subordinates. They had reached the third realm of cultivation and were protected by external energy. They threw themselves to the ground at the first opportunity. Even so, three of them were directly maimed by the explosion, five were injured, and all of them were covered in smoke and fire.
Amid the screams, a burning smell filled the air.
Listening to their screams and looking at their charred wounds, the anger in Zhang Tianqi's chest was completely ignited.
"court death!!!"
He raised his head suddenly and looked towards the door, the murderous intent in his eyes was as solid as substance.
Xu Zishan sneered, displayed his skills, and disappeared without a trace.
Generally in this kind of situation, once you have taken action, you should kill them all. Otherwise, if you provoke a powerful opponent and don't eliminate the roots, it will definitely leave troubles in the future. If you want to eliminate the roots, Xu Zishan should not do it alone, but someone with a knife and an axe should be behind... "Xu Zishan" blew people up but ran away, which is obviously problematic.
Zhang Tianqi is not a stupid person, he can understand it if he thinks about it for a while.
But Fang Guoying's contempt and Xu Zishan's disdain made him not want to think about it anymore. He just wanted to vent his anger and kill someone!
"Brothers! Chop up Xu Zishan!"
Zhang Tianqi picked up a knife and chased after him.
The people behind him had escaped death and were equally furious. They wiped the blood off their faces and chased after him.
They are all bandits, how can they endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens? How can they consider the overall situation?
The place where Zhao Wumian fled was naturally the Fang family camp. Fang Guoying protected Tong Tianshou at the city wall and watched the battle. His deputy Qiu Nan had already led the team with a sword on his back, waiting for Fang Guoying's order to fight to the death with the Ming army.
Suddenly, a deafening explosion was heard. Everyone was shocked and was about to go out to check, but Zhang Tianqi had already rushed in!
Zhang Tianqi was furious and killed people all the way. When he arrived outside the camp, he was covered in blood and looked hideous, like a demon crawling out of hell. Facing Qiu Nan and Xu Zishan's shocked and confused expressions, he smiled coldly and said only one word: "Kill!"
The fighting begins.
Zhao Wumian in the dark smiled slightly and disappeared quietly.
Let them clean up the mess themselves.
Don't rush into anything.
Not all of these people are stupid. They will definitely protect Tong Tianshou more closely in the future. Therefore, we should do the opposite and avoid the time when they are most tense. We should take action only when they are relaxed.
As the Art of War says: "He who is good at using troops avoids their sharp edge and strikes them when they are tired and retreating. This is how to control the momentum."
I heard that the Japanese pirates have another big ship...
Zhao Wumian turned towards the Japanese ship. Since it belonged to the Kikuchi family, it must have a lot of supplies.
The remaining seven heavenly thunder seeds will be used here.
Also raise their blood pressure.
……
On top of the city wall.
Heavy rain was pouring down, and dark clouds covered the land, the sea, and all the way to the distant horizon.
The Japanese pirates' artillery was set up in the stockade on the shore and was also bombarding the main naval fleet.
The artillery fire exploded into balls of fire on the sea, and heavy rain fell on the sails, hulls, and the water ghosts in the sea.
The artillery battle between the two sides shook the mountains and the sea.
After the last battle, the Ming army no longer approached, but only fired cannons from a distance to attract attention and bombard the stockade.
There is a cannon called [General Red Lotus] in the "Weapons Catalog". After reading it, Zhu Biao handed over the casting method to the Ministry of Industry. This method is much simpler than the mechanical beast. The Ministry of Industry has already built thirty of them, which are now in the navy fleet.
[General Honglian] has a longer range and more powerful firepower. It is difficult for the Japanese ships to hit the navy fleet, but the navy fleet can continuously bombard the stockade and the city wall. With each round of fire, several projectiles fall, blowing the stockade to pieces.
The destruction of the stockade was secondary. The enemy's bombardment was to provide cover for the mechanical tiger dragon.
If you don't attack the boat, the boat will attack you. If you attack the boat, the tiger dragon will take the opportunity to kill you.
The Japanese pirates were caught in a dilemma, unable to do anything. They could only use the [Horse-Head Vajra] amplification array to drive the water ghosts onto the ship and kill people.
The Ming army had only one tiger dragon. Even if it was rampant in the water soul formation, it was inevitable that some water ghosts would slip through the net when facing two thousand water ghosts. Some water ghosts still climbed onto the boat, and the artillery fire began to weaken.
Everyone in the village breathed a sigh of relief.
The five people who were watching the battle were still those people, Fang Guoying and his deputy Dai Qiuchan, Zhang Xuanfeng and his general Mo Tianyou, and Nakajo Hideo of Nakajo Ittoryu.
As for the inside of the water pavilion, there were Tong Tianshou who was sitting cross-legged and practicing his internal energy, and Kikuchi Iori who was helping him increase the power of the Water Soul Formation.
As long as there is one water ghost on board, it will easily spread in crowded places such as cabins.
Everyone just breathed a sigh of relief when they saw a water ghost boarding the boat, but suddenly an explosion was heard from the rear, making them feel nervous.
The soldiers guarding the gate burst in and said in a hurry: "Generals, something has happened! There is a fight outside!"
Fang Guoying and Zhang Xuanfeng were startled and were about to rush out.
"Wait a minute!"
Nakajo Hideo frowned and immediately stopped him: "Don't act rashly, take good care of the young lady. In this situation, you two shouldn't add fuel to the fire. Let me mediate."
After saying that, he jumped out.
The four people who stayed behind did not dare to disobey the order and stared at each other. Zhang Xuanfeng's face was full of resentment, while Fang Guoying was fearless.
Not long after, there was a loud sword chant, and the shouting and screaming outside stopped.
Nakajo Hideo's face was dark, he held Zhang Tianqi in one hand and Qiu Nan in the other and returned to Heishuize. Zhang Tianqi was stabbed in the right leg and limped, Qiu Nan was stabbed in the chest and his face was pale.
Fang Guoying was shocked: "Qiu Nan, what's going on?"
Qiu Nan was very frustrated, his face was full of murderous intent, and he quickly told what he knew, cursing: "Who knows what's wrong with these bastards, they don't care about anything and just keep fighting! Just now, more than fifty of our brothers died!"
"You fart!"
Zhang Tianqi cursed loudly, and then pointed at Fang Guoying: "Stop pretending here! It was you who sent Xu Zishan to release the Thunderbolt, saying that it was to prevent a fire in the backyard. If I hadn't dodged quickly, I would be dead now! Young Master, I told you before that these people can't be trusted, let's kill them!"
Zhang Tianqi made a convincing argument, but when his words came out, everyone was stunned.
Zhang Xuanfeng and Mo Tianyou looked confused: "The man surnamed Fang has been here the whole time, but it seems he has never issued any orders..."
"..."
Zhang Tianqi's expression changed slightly.
Qiu Nan said angrily: "Xu Zishan has always been by my side, what Tianleizi!"
Fang Guoying was even more angry: "Do I have to wait until now to kill you? You idiot! This is clearly a trap!" He reacted quickly and immediately turned to look at the mechanical tiger dragon in the sea, and said in a lost voice: "Isn't that Zhao Wumian in there? He has disguised himself and sneaked in?!"
Instantly, everyone's heart trembled and their backs felt cold...
The Treasure Mirror of the Court Actors...
The best disguise technique in the world...
In the water pavilion.
Kikuchi Iori's ears twitched slightly and she opened her eyes. She had witnessed Zhao Wumian's strength with her own eyes. At that time, it was a head-on confrontation and he did not use the "Actor's Treasure Mirror". However, after some investigation, she knew that he had sneaked into the Marquis of Ji'an's Mansion on his own and quietly poisoned 32 horses and 19 dragon horses.
This is a strange and unpredictable opponent!
Now he has sneaked into the mountain stronghold in order to assassinate Tong Tianshou once and for all!
It didn't come quickly enough.
"Mr. Nakajo."
"Miss."
Nakajo Hideo bowed. Kikuchi Iori said, "Let the Ittoryu guard the periphery of the water and monitor each other. No one is allowed to leave the sight to prevent him from finding an opportunity to disguise and assassinate. This technique is difficult to defend against, and you must be especially careful about what you eat. From now on, the order will be transmitted to everyone in secret, and no one is allowed to move around without the order."
"Yes."
Nakajo Hideo agreed and said hesitantly, "Then the 'Umi no Maru'..."
Kikuchi Iori said: "He will definitely come to get rid of Tong Tianshou. There is Tomoko and the Five Elements Ninja in 'Umi no Maru', so nothing will happen..."
Nakajo Hideo pondered and said, "I heard that this man has outstanding martial arts skills and is not an ordinary third level martial artist. What if..."
"Nothing unexpected."
Kikuchi Iori looked calm and said leisurely: "If there was only one water soul formation, I would not come here to take risks. The real killing weapon to stop the Ming army is on the boat. Once he gets on the boat, he will definitely die!"
……
Sea Maru.
The name of the Japanese ship was engraved on the sail of the big ship.
Zhao Wumian wanted to lure people over, so he changed back to his original appearance, wearing a black suit, with a Tang sword [Whale Song] slung over his waist, holding the big ring on the handle, and looking up at the big ship.
The ship is tall and has a wide bow. It looks like a building and is richly decorated. A large flag is erected on the bow, with the Kikuchi family crest of peacock pattern painted on it. It looks very imposing.
"The hull is made of sea willows..."
Zhao Wumian was a little surprised: "Everyone says that the Southern Dynasty is weak, but isn't the Kikuchi family quite rich?"
The entire ship does not appear to have any protection, but as Kikuchi's vehicle, it must be no simple matter.
Zhao Wumian strode over.
Before getting on the boat, a burst of sweet laughter suddenly came from all directions.
"Hehehehe~"
I saw a ball of red shadow floating out of the cabin like a raging fire, and transformed into a woman in a gorgeous kimono, with picturesque features, coming towards me.
Her voice was soft and sweet, extremely charming and seductive. Just listening to it made people feel their hearts burning, their inner energy flowing downward, and all kinds of illusions appear in their minds.
"Iga clan, fire ninja?"
Zhao Wumian was indifferent and sighed: "Can we try something new? Illusions are useless to me, especially illusions like yours. I have a mysophobia! So let's not waste time. Let the remaining four come out together. I really want to see the famous Five Elements Ninja!"
"..."
The woman's face froze, and then she became angry and said, "Kill!"
The remaining four elements, gold, wood, water and earth, appeared at the same time, and joined forces with the woman to perform the Five Elements Escape Technique, attacking Zhao Wumian like lightning!
The Five Elements Ninja is an elite jonin of the Iga clan. He practices the Five Elements escape technique and is an expert at assassination.
The Iga school, like the Nakajo Ittoryu, is a martial arts school that defected to the Southern Dynasty shogunate. Among the previous Eight Ghost Gates, there were disciples of the Iga school, but their heritage was not good, and they did not practice as deeply as these five people.
They were extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, five people came from five directions.
Zhao Wumian's figure flashed, and nine clones appeared at the same time, making people dizzy.
While the five people were astonished, Zhao Wumian had already drawn his sword and slashed at the largest and strongest Earth Ninja!
The Earth Ninja practices hard skills and is good at boxing. Decades of training have made him very confident in his diamond body - this is exactly the kind of confidence that Zhao Wumian wants, because he can't dodge, and he won't dodge, but will choose to take it head-on. Countless battles have proved that people of the same realm can never take his sword, taking it means death!
and so.
The terrifying sword energy burst out in an instant, like a huge wave or a rushing river, as if it could split the sea and stop the tide!
not good!
The Earth Ninja felt the death intent in it, his pupils shrank sharply, and he turned pale with shock!
"Quickly open!"
The other four groups also felt the terrifying murderous intent, their hearts trembled, and they shouted to warn and turned back to help!
Zhao Wumian has already made his move, a simple, vertical chop with the knife!
The Tiangang sword energy surged and tore through the air, like a huge wave, striking in an instant!
A look of extreme fear flashed in the Earth Ninja's eyes, but before he could scream, the sword energy had already pierced through his body!
The brilliant sword light suddenly burst out and then suddenly disappeared.
next moment.
boom!
The body of the Earth Ninja exploded, and half of his body flew to both sides!
Immediately afterwards, there was a loud bang, and the sea behind the corpse split into two!
It was as if an invisible sword had split the sea surface, and the sea water on both sides of the blade surged up and huge waves surged!
The other four rows changed color in horror.
What a terrifying sword move!
The fire ninja roared, chopped down with his knife, and the meter-long flaming knife chopped down at Zhao Wumian's head.
However, the knife light fell and pierced through Zhao Wumian's body and cut into the ground. The blazing knife energy split the ground, and only smoke, flying sand and rocks were seen. Zhao Wumian's figure also disappeared.
"It's a clone!"
The Jin Xing Ninja yelled, "Behind you!"
"A Stunning Step on Snow"!
Huo Xing was extremely shocked and had no idea when Zhao Wumian used the technique of splitting himself into two.
The phantom in front of him was extremely solid, exactly like a real person!
She quickly turned around to block.
Zhao Wumian’s second strike had already arrived.
The knife light was bright, Huo Xing looked up and saw the terrifying knife light coming towards him.
"what!!!"
With a scream, the body was torn into pieces!
The other three were stunned when they saw that the two ninjas were completely destroyed and their bodies were shaking.
In an instant, Zhao Wumian killed two masters at the peak of the third realm, and none of them was a match for him!
"Zhao! Wu! Mian!"
The Jin Xing Ninja's eyes were bloodshot and he was furious. He threw the golden pick as a hidden weapon. He also practiced the unique skills of Tochoji Temple, using a pair of golden cymbals, which could be used for close combat, throwing, and as a musical instrument to perform sonic power.
Yo?
Know me.
Zhao Wumian was a little surprised. Did everyone in Japan know about me? This shouldn't be the case. I came so quickly that even the people in the stockade didn't know about it. It's impossible for them to pass on the information in such a short time. Besides, is there anyone who knows me? Then why don't I have any impression of these five green onions?
The wind howled.
The true energy contained in the golden cymbal was extremely powerful and it was close to him in the blink of an eye!
As soon as Zhao Wumian swung his sword, he immediately dodged sideways and the golden cymbal passed by him.
Xing Jin used telekinesis to recall the golden cymbals. Seeing that Zhao Wumian was unharmed and had the ability to clone himself, it was difficult to tell the real from the fake. He knew that he could not delay any longer.
He just roared, mobilized all his energy, and held the golden pick in his hand, and smashed it in front of him!
"Boom-"
It was like a loud thunder, the sound waves spread, shaking the heavens and the earth!
All of a sudden, the scenery within a radius of dozens of feet exploded, the mountains and rivers were in turmoil, and the surrounding sea water rose more than five feet high!
There was smoke all around, Jin Xing thought he was injured, but who would have thought the next moment.
puff-
The Whale Song Knife pierced his stomach.
Behind him, Zhao Wumian sneered, grasped the hilt of the knife, and suddenly pulled it up! Under the gaze of the remaining two people, blood sprayed into the sky in the heavy rain!
——As soon as you stick your butt out, I know what you are doing, sonic power? You have such a long pre-swing, and you still have the nerve to use it!
"..."
The other two were also murderers, but they had never seen such a way of death. They were shocked and their hands were a little slow. Zhao Wumian slashed with two casual cuts, and two more heads fell to the ground.
"How can you be distracted while killing someone?"
Zhao Wumian swung his long knife, blood splattered on the ground, and said lightly: "This is not seeking death."
After saying that, he strode onto the ship.
Today, no one can stop me from blowing up the ship... Let those guys guard the fortress, and then I'll cut off the firewood first...
