Chapter 1032: Chapter 368: The Great Battle of Hongguan, Zen Gold Powder and 6 Vajra Mantras, the Shortsighted and Foolish 8 Townsfolk_4
Currently, these seventy thousand from the Earth-digging Realm at Dajue Temple definitely have no connection to any elite army, and in fact, over fifty thousand of them had just sworn allegiance to Dajue Temple last month. Achieving this can only be attributed to the templeâs skill in beguiling people.
"But itâs about time. Any backup plans should be used now."
"All Bhikkhus hear the order, release the Zen Gold Powder!"
As if to confirm Lu Yangâs internal suspicions, Yan Xin, who had been entangled with Jiang Yuanlong in the depths of the west side, noticed out of the corner of his eye that the Jiangxia Army on the east side had already entered the pass. He suddenly activated his energy and blood and shouted inwardly.
Lu Yang and the othersâ expressions tightened, quickly turning to look at a Zen Temple Bhikkhu closest to them.
The Zen Temple Bhikkhu was already covered with slash wounds, half his body soaked in blood, and his face smeared with bloodstains. But upon hearing Yan Xinâs order, he immediately pulled out a golden pill from his bosom, glanced around at those present, twisted his face into a grim smile, and smashed the pill onto the ground with force.
Bang........
Upon impact, the pill exploded into a bright golden dust cloud, rapidly spreading in all directions. Although it quickly dissipated into the air, seemingly revealing nothing unusual, remember, it wasnât just this one Zen Temple Bhikkhu making this move.
Not only thousands of Zen Temple Bhikkhus, but those at Cold Resistance Level from Qinghepu and some from the Earth-digging Realm also released those Zen Gold Powder pills, all smashing them onto the ground.
Bang... Bang... Bang... Bang...
With each sound of explosion, a thousand streams of golden fog instantly rose inside the pass, almost immediately covering the entire battlefield.
"This fog is suspicious; everyone, wet cloths to cover your mouth and nose!"
Jiang Yuanlong visibly panicked for a moment, but he promptly called out instructions for everyone to react accordingly. The temperature at the North Shore was extremely low, with ice blocks everywhere. Tearing off clothing to create a wet cloth wasnât difficult.
Obviously, he assumed that Dajue Temple was spreading poison; the Earth-digging Realm had strong poison resistance, and using a wet cloth to cover oneâs nose and mouth was indeed the best method to defend against toxin effects, especially for those at Cold Resistance Level.
"Junior brother, assist me, everyone at Qinghepu, chant the Six Paths Vajra Mantra!"
But it seems Jiang Yuanlongâs thoughts were mistaken.
Watching the Jiangxia side cover their mouths and noses with wet cloths, Yan Xin sneered a few times, then loudly ordered. Twenty official bhikkhus spread across the battlefield continued to engage with their opponents while chanting loudly.
đđđđŠđđđđđđ·đđ.đžđ°đ
"Ah... Wa... Xia... Sa... Ma... Ha..."
"Ah... Wa... Xia... Sa... Ma... Ha..."
Just like during last monthâs chanting, this time not only the Earth-digging Realm but all those at Cold Resistance Level and thousands of Zen Temple Bhikkhus joined the twenty Zen Temple Bhikkhus chanting this six-syllable mantra.
After chanting three times, tens of thousands on the Qinghepu side suddenly shuddered, as if caught in some paralysis, their faces instantly flush red before gradually transforming into a pale gold.
The Cold Resistance Level on the Qinghepu side and thousands of Zen Temple Bhikkhus directly transformed into pure gold, emitting a strong golden glow under the night, like legendary Golden Arhats.
"The Master has bestowed divine power upon us, granting us a Vajra Undying Body. The Nine Townsâ traitors have slaughtered our monks and killed our brethren. What are you waiting for? Slay the Nine Townsâ traitors and avenge our humiliation!"
At this moment, Yan Xinâs whole body shone with a golden light. Having fought Jiang Yuanlong for so long, his white monkâs robe had become tattered and stained with blood. His face contorted fiercely as he said these words, raising his red Zen Stick and pointing into the valley with a deep and low voice: "Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Charge..."
"Fight back and kill all the Nine Townsâ traitors."
.......
One could clearly sense that only a minority of Dajue Templeâs side, totaling just over ten thousand, were moved by Yan Xinâs words. They were evidently from the Earth-digging Realm of Qinghepu, having experienced the Masterâs divine power last month, and thus they believed Yan Xinâs words without a doubt, recklessly charging towards the Jiangxia enemy forces.
Several from the Earth-digging Realm at Qinghepu wielded big sabers, charging at a Defensive Army soldier. Though their hysterical appearance was somewhat intimidating, given it was a battlefield and everyone was fighting for their lives, the soldier naturally wasnât frightened.
The soldier directly parried the big saber with his sword. His eyes narrowed, lowering his swordâs stance and thrusting it towards one of their chests.
Clang......
But after the thrust, the soldierâs expression froze.
His Thousand Forged Long Sword had only managed to pierce through the opponentâs Hundred-forged Iron Armor, creating a clashing metallic sound with no further effect.
Not daring to stay stunned for too long, the soldierâs face changed dramatically. He tried to withdraw his longsword to retreat, for the other incoming Earth-digging individuals were already swinging their big sabers at him.
Unfortunately, he was still a bit slow.
The one whose chest he had pierced directly grabbed his longsword, holding on tightly, being dragged several meters along the ground but not letting go, even lifting his head to reveal a grim smile.
Pfft...
That grim smile seemed to toll the death knell for the Jiangxia Town Defensive Army soldier. The other weapons were already coming down on him. Though protected by Thousand Forged Armor, he wasnât immediately fatally wounded. Still, soon someone found the seam at his waist, directly stabbing a sword through it.
