Chapter 405: Borrowing Strength from Heaven and Earth

Chapter 405: Borrowing Strength from Heaven and Earth The walls of Ziyun City were filled with running figures, their armors shaking and colliding, making a chaotic sound, and the strong wind was blowing, causing the military flags to flutter. Originally, Ziyun County had several hundred defenders. Later, the imperial court sent reinforcements several times, but after careful scrimping and saving, they finally sent more than 3,000 troops in total, which was not too many, but not too few either. Firstly, it was said that the northern military garrison had already marched south, and the imperial court needed to mobilize troops to resist. Secondly, this was a matter of monsters. With nearly 4,000 people guarding a small town, they could hold it if they could. If they couldn't, having more people would not be of much use. At this time, most of the defenders in the city were on the city wall. Lin Jue, his third senior brother and his youngest junior sister stood on the north gate arrow tower, looking towards the north. I saw the sky was covered with dark clouds, with thunder and lightning, and on the ground there was a thick fog sweeping in from the wasteland. It was several thousand feet high, and its length and width were unknown. In short, there was no end in sight. From a distance, it looked like clouds hanging down to the ground, or like a black wall of fog pushing towards this side. The rumored snowstorms and sandstorms are nothing more than this. "really……" Lin Jue muttered to himself and reached out to touch his arms. A copper coin in my arms, safe and secure. The Queen Mother of the East has been dormant for many years. Now that the catastrophe is approaching, she has chosen a good time to come out and cause trouble. Her purpose is to disrupt the world, absorb vitality, and survive her catastrophe, not to survive the siege of the two True Lords of Guarding Saint and Protecting Saint. If she just wanted to stay alive, she would not come out at this time.

Therefore, Queen Mother of the East will not run away. Because if she fails to achieve her goal, even if she escapes, she will not be able to cope with her catastrophe. Although Lin Jue didn’t know what her great calamity was, nor how she would overcome it, wasn’t this her purpose in stirring up unrest? If she wanted to escape, she would probably choose the weakest Jiguang County. If she wanted to fight, she would probably start from Ziyun County which was closest to her, or if she could handle it, it was not impossible for her to attack all four counties at the same time. Before this, the monsters under her command had come out of Modu Mountain countless times to invade the surrounding cities, but they had not invaded Ziyun County for a long time. This gave Lin Jue a sense of uneasiness. In addition to wanting to avoid losses under her command, this approach might also be to paralyze them, or to prevent them from knowing the details of the monsters under her command. There are many reasons for this speculation. Now it has been confirmed. "Boom!" A flash of lightning passed by, illuminating everyone's faces with a snow-white glow. There were some exclamations from around me. Lin Jue turned his head and looked behind him. Many soldiers were holding bows, and many soldiers were holding spears. There was obvious fear on their faces. Even the general standing nearby trembled a little. "Lin Zhen, Master Lin..." The general saw him looking at him and licked his cracked lips. "General! Please boost morale!" "Boost morale? Good!" The general took a deep breath and shouted to the soldiers around him, "Don't be afraid, my men. With Master Lin here, there's nothing to be afraid of. It's useless to be afraid..." But his own voice was trembling. Lin Jue watched in silence and shook his head secretly.

As Mr. Luo said, In this court, brave warriors cannot become generals, wise counselors cannot become ministers, and this general is also a good-for-nothing. Let alone Lord Luo, even if he was half as brave as any of the warriors around Lord Luo, he would not feel the slightest bit of fear standing here. At this moment, Wan Xinrong saw Lin Jue's expression and the general's cowardice. His face turned fierce and he stood up without hesitation. He stood on the battlement, raised the lantern and shouted loudly: "Why should you, officers and soldiers, be afraid? "The ones ahead are not humans, but monsters that want to eat humans! It's too late for you to be afraid now! Even if you want to run, how can two legs outrun four legs? What's more, there are monsters with wings. Even if you want to surrender, there is no way, as they only regard you as blood food! "Since defeat means death, we might as well fight to the death! "Besides, these monsters are nothing more than animals transformed from plants and trees. They have flesh on their bodies, and blood will flow out when a knife cuts them. If an animal can be chopped to death, the monsters can also be chopped to death. If plants can be chopped to pieces, the monsters can also be chopped to pieces!" Although Wan Xinrong is short in stature, he is a ruthless person, otherwise he would not have run to Fengshan alone in anger to cause trouble for Senior Hua. At this moment, he gritted his teeth and almost squeezed out these words from his throat, shouting in the wind. His momentum was really incomparable to that of the general just now. This kind of emotion is really contagious. "Why don't you join me, Wan, and follow Master Lin to kill these harmful dogs? Cook them first and eat them with wine, and then use them to exchange for military merits!" “Cook it and go with the wine!!” At one point, many soldiers were infected by him, and their fear turned into anger in the desperate situation, and it seemed that they could see blood rising to the sky. "The spell connects heaven and earth, and the divine thunder gathers on the tip of the sword... "The decree points to yin and yang, and the true fire reflects the edge of the blade..." There were strange people from the Juxian Mansion scattered around the city walls, walking slowly, chanting the sword-attaching spell taught by Lin Jue and others over and over again, adding the power of thunder and fire to the weapons in the hands of the soldiers defending the city. At the same time, the fox beside Lin Jue suddenly changed. A huge five-tailed white fox appeared on the city wall, as if to add a bit of majesty to Wan Xinrong's words. At this point, everyone felt a little relieved, but then they heard Master Liu beside Master Lin start chanting a spell. As she chanted the spell, a rumbling sound came from under the city wall. When she leaned over to take a look, she saw that the large and small stones that had been placed outside the city began to roll on their own, rolling together and piling up, and actually turned into four stone giants that were nearly three meters tall. You should know that Ziyun County is one of the gateways to the capital, and bears the important task of defending the north. The city wall is already high enough, only four meters. These four stone giants are almost catching up with the city wall. Leaning down like this, it was quite shocking. Especially with such magic and such wonders displayed before their eyes, helping them, so that they would know that not only were there monsters on the other side, but there were also magicians on their side, and they felt more at ease. Lin Jue then retracted his gaze and looked forward. Unconsciously, the fog got closer. Looking at it now, because it is closer, even the top of the mountain cannot be seen. It has completely turned into a wall of fog that is as high as the dark clouds and as wide as the boundless, slowly pushing forward, as if to swallow up everything between heaven and earth. Even the Ziyun City behind him seemed so small compared to it. I don’t know if it was the fog being blown by the wind, an illusion of light, or something else, but there was a black shadow swaying in the fog, and it seemed that there was an extremely huge figure hidden inside, walking towards the sky. Legend has it that in the northeast of Qinzhou, Mount Modu is always shrouded in thick fog, whether it is sunny or rainy, day or night. Even the wind cannot blow there. No one knows what is inside, what the mountain looks like, or why it is called Mount Modu. All they know is that if anyone goes in, except for the followers of the Queen Mother of the East, almost no one can come out. "Boom!" Another bolt of lightning struck from the dark clouds and into the fog. I don’t know if it was the work of gods or God upholding justice, but a figure seemed to fall in the fog.

However, this lightning also illuminated the fog, leaving many silhouettes of monsters in everyone's eyes, telling everyone that there were indeed countless big monsters in the fog! The fog continued to advance. "Buzzing..." Lin Juexian heard a buzzing sound. "The wind is coming!" Lin Jue shouted. Before the strange men around him and the soldiers guarding the city behind him could react, they suddenly felt a strong wind blowing around them - At this moment, the weather suddenly changed, a thunderstorm was approaching, and the dull world became active. There was already a strong wind, but the original wind was irregular, sometimes left, sometimes right, and they did not work together, each moving independently. But all of a sudden, the wind from the whole world seemed to be gathered together with the sound of "wind coming", and it became a gust of wind, blowing their hair wildly, the big flags around them rustled, and they almost couldn't stand. Fortunately, this strong wind did not come from the front or the side, otherwise I would not be able to open my eyes. Where does this wind come from? It was coming from behind, pressing towards the thick fog in front. Suddenly, everyone could see clearly that the front end of the fog in front of them suddenly became turbulent, like a huge wave hitting the cliff on the shore, stopping and even starting to retreat. This wall-like fog in the sky was actually blocked? Everyone looked towards that figure. "Brother, you have great skills!" "It's not my power, it's the power of time and space." At this moment, a black cloud suddenly emerged from the fog and pressed towards this direction against the strong wind. The buzzing sound was getting closer. From a distance they looked like clouds, but when they got closer they were actually a swarm of pitch-black insects, like the locusts during a locust plague, yet they were not locusts, but rather a host of poisonous insects that looked very aggressive. "People of Ziyun, close your doors and windows, and seal the gaps with handkerchiefs, cloth strips, or even quilts. Don't be alarmed. If you are unsettled, you can pray to the gods." Lin Jue's voice was calm as usual, but it spread easily throughout the entire Ziyun City. Many doors and windows slammed shut, blocking the frightened faces. Outside the city, dark clouds were approaching. "What a trick!" Lin Jue said. As the stories say, when immortals and masters fight, they all try to find ways to break through the restraint, borrow the power of heaven and earth, and try to defeat the enemy in the simplest and most labor-saving way. It was midsummer, the yang was strong and the yin was weak, and thunderstorms were frequent, so the two True Lords, Protector Saint and Protector Saint, borrowed the yang energy of heaven and earth and the power of thunder to go down to the mortal world to eliminate the demons. Today, the weather changed, and the winds were howling. I took advantage of the strong winds between heaven and earth at this time, and just asked them to change direction, and then I suppressed the fog. Summer is the season when there are many insects, so the Queen Mother of the East or her monsters would take advantage of this time to drive countless poisonous insects to fight the enemy. "Wonderful!" Lin Jue shouted again. Perhaps it was because the third senior brother was standing next to him, and he was infected by this senior brother's temperament, and he also felt a little arrogant. Then he swung his arm, and a large cloud of yellow smoke suddenly emerged from his robe sleeves.

The wind comes to help! The yellow smoke drifted away with the wind and crashed into the black clouds. There were countless poisonous insects in the black cloud. Whenever they came into contact with the yellow smoke, even though the yellow smoke had been diluted in the strong wind, their bodies began to become stiff, especially their thin wings, which soon became unable to flap, or simply broke while flapping, and fell down in large pieces. The yellow smoke that was dispersed and diluted by the wind actually increased the attack range of the Stone Sealing Technique. at the same time-- The junior sister standing on his left side glanced at him and also pushed out a palm. Flames shot out like a dragon and quickly dispersed in the wind, forming a fire cloud and crashing into the black cloud in front. Wan Xinrong stood on his right, holding up the lantern. His magic power had just arrived, and before he could open his mouth to blow, the strong wind from back to front between heaven and earth had already blown the sparks in the lantern out like crazy, forming a river of Mars that illuminated the dim sky and earth, and countless stars, densely packed, crashed forward. A huge five-tailed white fox stood on the city wall, also spewing out yellow smoke and moving forward with the wind. there is always a solution to a problem. (End of this chapter)
