Chapter 318 The little demon blocks the road
Zhang Chu swept his spiritual sense and saw the information in the jade talisman. He glanced at the operating Great Sun Demon Sealing Formation and directly controlled the Corpse King Banner to soar into the air.
Soon, it disappeared into the sky. When Zhang Chu appeared again, he had already arrived in a wilderness.
"Fellow,"
Looking at the people running fast below, Zhang Chu also controlled the Corpse King Banner to land, "But what's the urgent matter?"
"Fellow,"
It was Yan Chixia who activated the jade talisman for Zhang Chu. Seeing Zhang Chu coming, he was also very happy, "You finally made it!"
"I received a message from Ning Caichen,"
Seeing Zhang Chu's puzzled look, Yan Chixia explained, "He said he encountered a peerless monster and wanted to invite me to kill it!"
"I thought you were free on the deserted mountain, so I invited you to come along!"
"The peerless demon? Ning Caichen?"
Zhang Chu was in a daze for a moment, but then he reacted and realized that it should be the centipede monster who had transformed into a national teacher.
"Fellow?"
Seeing that Zhang Chu looked a little dazed, Yan Chixia shouted again.
"Since there are demons and monsters in this world,"
Zhang Chu suddenly came to his senses, "Then slaying demons and eliminating evil is the unshirkable responsibility of people like us!"
"Friend Yan, let's go together!"
"go!"
Yan Chixia flew up on his sword, and Zhang Chu followed closely behind him, controlling the Corpse King Banner, and they quickly headed in one direction.
Soon, the two of them arrived at a city.
There were a lot of people walking in the city, and it was very busy, but Zhang Chu felt that it was a little weird.
"Fellow,"
Zhang Chu called out to Yan Chixia who was galloping, "Take a look at the city below!"
"The city below?"
Yan Chixia was in a hurry to get on the road and did not pay attention to his surroundings. After hearing Zhang Chu's words, he was a little confused.
His extremely powerful spiritual sense swept directly downwards, and all he saw was a lively scene, so he looked at Zhang Chu with a puzzled look, "There's nothing wrong!"
"In the city below, there are obviously eminent monks guarding the city, and the Buddha's light is lingering around. It is a peaceful place!"
"Fellow Daoist, take a closer look!"
Zhang Chu shook his head and stared at the city below, wondering what he was thinking.
"wrong,"
After looking at it carefully, Yan Chixia's expression changed slightly.
Even though the city below seemed to be surrounded by Buddha's light and bustling with people, Yan Chixia did not feel any vitality at all.
Those common people were more like puppets. Yan Chixia even felt a trace of demonic energy in the Buddha's light on this grand avenue. The demonic energy was very deeply hidden and was in harmony with the Buddha's light.
"Below,"
Zhang Chu's face was stern, "It's already a dead city!"
Yan Chixia was also silent for a while. He also saw that, although it seemed that there were many people walking below and it was very lively, but in fact, those people had already been replaced by demons.
The ones controlling their bodies are the monsters that are parasitic on them.
"somebody is coming!"
At this moment, Zhang Chu looked forward and said something to Yan Chixia.
Not far from the city, a team of soldiers were escorting a prisoner cart towards the city in front of them.
"what?"
Looking at the leader, a hint of doubt flashed across Zhang Chu's face. He actually felt a familiar breath from that person.
It was none other than the Martial Arts of Immortality, and he had cultivated the Martial Arts of Immortality to an extremely profound level, already having achieved the second level of the Martial Arts of Immortality.
"Go and see!"
When Yan Chixia saw that the group of soldiers escorting the prison cart were about to enter the city, he immediately controlled his flying sword, came in front of the group and landed.
Zhang Chu used his spiritual sense to scan the person's appearance and saw clearly, "So it's him?"
Soon, Zhang Chu also landed in front of the team of officers and soldiers.
Yan Chixia seemed to be communicating with the chief officer of that team of soldiers, and the chief officer inadvertently saw Zhang Chu standing behind Yan Chixia. He suddenly stood up, left Yan Chixia behind, and rushed straight towards Zhang Chu.
"Zuo Jun greets the senior!"
When they arrived in front of Zhang Chu, the leader began to pay homage to him.
"Zuo Jun? Zuo Qian Hu?"
Zhang Chu looked at the person in front of him, a hint of emotion flashed in his eyes. He really didn't expect that Zuo Jun would go back to that old path.
At this moment, Zhang Chu already knew the identity of the big monster that Yan Chixia mentioned. Wasn't it the centipede monster, Cihang Pudu, who was appointed as the imperial master by the court?
"Senior, in person,"
Zuo Jun seemed very reserved, "How dare you call yourself a thousand households?"
"Just call the junior by his name!"
"What are you doing?"
Even though he had some guesses in his mind, Zhang Chu still wanted to ask.
"senior,"
Zuo Jun glanced at Zhang Chu, who had nothing to hide, and said, "Following the order of His Majesty, we are escorting the imperial prisoner to the capital!"
"Enter the capital?"
Zhang Chu glanced at Zuo Jun and asked, "The capital you are talking about is the city ahead?"
"What the senior said is absolutely true!"
Zuo Jun nodded immediately.
"You know,"
Before Zhang Chu could say anything, Yan Chixia had already walked over and asked, "The city ahead has turned into a dead city?"
"Dead city?"
Zuo Jun looked at the Taoist priest who suddenly appeared with confusion, and then turned his gaze to Zhang Chu.
"Friend Yan did not lie to you!"
Zhang Chu also nodded, "The city ahead has indeed turned into a dead city!"
"How can this be?"
"Nothing is impossible!"
After listening to Zhang Chu's words, Captain Zuo fell silent.
Maybe he could choose not to listen to Yan Chixia, but he couldn't help but believe what Zhang Chu said.
To some extent, Zhang Chu can be said to be his teacher.
Isn’t it because Zhang Chu taught him the martial arts of immortality that he was able to achieve his current level of martial arts?
And it can truly be called the martial art of immortality. After all these years of practice, he has already felt the power of the martial art of immortality.
"senior,"
After a moment of silence, Captain Zuo spoke up, "This junior generation has received the emperor's grace for generations!"
"Even if there is a dead city ahead, I will still step into the city to fulfill the emperor's order!"
"If there are demons causing trouble, I will kill them even at the cost of my life!"
"That's okay,"
Zhang Chu glanced at Zuo Jun and said, "Go ahead!"
"I will set up a large formation outside the city. If you are defeated, you can escape immediately. I and Fellow Daoist Yan will eliminate the monster together!"
"Thank you, senior!"
Zuo Jun nodded and escorted the prison van into the city.
"Yu Zhong!"
Looking at Zuo Jun's behavior, Yan Chixia seemed to be a little disappointed and roared.
"Fellow,"
Zhang Chu glanced at the left army and then set his sights on Yan Chixia. "I think the big monster that Ning Caichen mentioned is the big monster in the city!"
"Just now, I felt the entanglement between Zuo Jun and Ning Caichen!"
"Master Yan,"
At this moment, two figures came galloping over. It was Ning Caichen and the other was Xiahou Swordsman. They reined in their horses and jumped off. "You are finally here!" At this moment, Ning Caichen seemed to have just discovered Zhang Chu. "I pay my respects to Taoist Changsheng."
There was a hint of fear in his expression.
It was really because the shadow cast by Zhang Chu on him was too great, and he almost died at the hands of Zhang Chu.
What's more, he knew in his heart that Yan Chixia was just a mean-spirited man, while the Taoist Changsheng in front of him was a cruel and ruthless person to the extreme.
He heard all this from Xiahou.
"Xiahou pays respect to the Taoist master!"
Xiahou looked at Zhang Chu in front of him, and felt a little dazed.
At the beginning, after Zhang Chu eliminated the monster in the barren mountains of Guobei County, he disappeared for several years. After Xiahou Jianke couldn't find Zhang Chu, he practiced the martial arts of immortality while traveling around the world with Ning Caichen.
Unexpectedly, he would have the opportunity to meet his Taoist master again.
"Get up!"
Zhang Chu nodded, but didn't say much.
Xiahou Swordsman was also taught the Longevity Martial Arts by Zhang Chu, but after so many years, he has just entered the second level of the Longevity Martial Arts, which is far behind Zuo Jun.
"Ning boy,"
Zhang Chu turned around and looked at Ning Caichen, "Tell me, how did you provoke the demon again?"
When Ning Caichen heard the word "again" from Zhang Chu, he could only smile awkwardly and told him about his itinerary over the past few years.
With Xiahou Swordsman following him, he avoided imprisonment. However, after meeting a girl from the Fu family who looked exactly like the female ghost Xiaoqian, he became fascinated by her, and that's why he asked Yan Chixia for help.
"Two Taoist priests,"
After saying this, Ning Caichen looked at Yan Chixia and Zhang Chu in confusion, "Why don't you go to the capital?"
"What kind of demon did you encounter?"
Zhang Chu did not answer and continued to ask.
"That demon can transform into a Buddha!"
Ning Caichen thought about it.
"okay,"
Zhang Chu simply waved his hand, "I understand!"
"Fellow Daoist, do you already know what kind of demon it is?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Chixia showed a hint of doubt on his face.
"It's already a guess,"
Zhang Chu nodded, "But we have to wait and see whether it is true or not!"
"Now, let's set up the formation first!"
"Otherwise, if it really is that demon, you and I are no match for it!"
"It's even possible that you will die!"
"Oh?"
Hearing Zhang Chu's solemn words, Yan Chixia also took it seriously, "Even if Daoist Fellow has set up the Corpse King Formation, is it still the same?"
“That’s true too!”
Zhang Chu nodded.
Even Zhang Chu had no idea how powerful the centipede monster was that was about to transform into a dragon.
However, with the Corpse King formation and the Calamity Banner in his hand, even if he is about to transform into a dragon, Zhang Chu is still able to fight.
After all, if you can't beat them, can you still run away?
The most important thing is that the Corpse King Banner, which has now devoured a corpse vein, has given Zhang Chu great confidence.
Now, the Corpse King Banner has already contained all the bronze-armored corpses in Zhang Chu's hands.
From this plan, we can see how powerful the Corpse King Banner is today.
Zhang Chu did not hesitate and soared into the sky. He also threw the Corpse King Banner in his hand away. A black mist gradually enveloped the city in front of him.
Fortunately, it was dark, otherwise, we would have been discovered long ago.
The black fog dissipated, and soon, it had completely blocked the city.
Five or six thousand bronze-armored corpses, led by four silver-armored corpses and four half-step silver-armored corpses, blocked all directions.
Even if the centipede monster has the ability to dig holes, it would still be very difficult for it to break free from Zhang Chu's formation.
What's more, it is not so easy for this monk to transform into a dragon.
Only by completely devouring a country's dragon energy and national destiny can one succeed in transforming into a dragon.
As long as the person with dragon energy and national destiny is not completely devoured by it, it is impossible for him to transform into a dragon successfully.
This is also the reason why I had to chase after that tutor named Fu.
No matter what, the man with the surname Fu is a veteran of three dynasties and shoulders the huge destiny of the dynasty.
If he ran away, how could the centipede monster transform into a dragon?
Zhang Chu had already quietly set up the formation, and the next step was to wait for the centipede monster to show up.
Inside the city, Captain Zuo had already seen that all the civil and military officials in the court had turned into silkworm pupae, and their flesh and blood had long since been devoured by the monsters.
After searching for a while, he saw Taifu, Zhiqiu Yiye and others wrapped in silk threads and being slowly devoured.
"Shu~"
As soon as the long sword came out, it directly cut off the silk threads and pulled the tutor and others out.
"Left Commander,"
When the Fu Taifu woke up, he saw Zuo Jun and asked, "Why are you here?"
"Master Fu,"
Zuo Jun looked sad, "Hurry up, the whole court has completely disappeared, only human skins are left!"
"what?"
Upon hearing this, the Grand Master was also greatly shocked and said sternly, "Is Cihang Pudu really a monster?"
"Exactly!"
Zuo Jun nodded and said, "Let's get out of the city quickly. As long as we get out of the city, we can be rescued!"
"Rescued?"
Zhiqiu Yiye, who was rescued, looked at Zuo Jun and asked, "How did you get rescued?"
"That monster is too powerful!"
"Even if you get out, it's a dead end!"
"There are two Taoist priests who are good at slaying demons and eliminating evil waiting outside the city!"
Zuo Jun glanced at Zhiqiu Yiye and the Fu family father and daughter and said, "Let's get out of the city as soon as possible!"
"Only by destroying the evildoers can we restore the country!"
"Commander-in-Chief Zuo is right,"
The people with the surname Fu knew in their hearts that only by surviving could they have the opportunity to take revenge and rebuild their country.
"Let's get out of the city quickly!"
Looking at the staggering tutor and his two daughters, Zuo Jun understood that now was not the time to waste.
"Master,"
He glanced at Zhiqiu Yiye and said, "I will take two people with me, and you take Lord Fu!"
"it is good!"
Zhiqiu Yiye nodded immediately, leaped up, grabbed the tutor's shoulder, and rushed towards the city gate.
Zuo Jun bit the long sword in his hand with his teeth, picked up a woman in each hand, and rushed directly towards the city gate.
Soon, the few of them saw the city gate and were about to survive.
"Shu~"
At this moment, the sound of blades rang out, attacking them.
Zhiqiu Yiye was a cultivator after all, and he was fast enough to get out of the city gate, but Zuo Jun was stopped.
"Master,"
Zuo Jun dodged the blade and threw the Fu sisters over, "Go ahead!"
Then, holding a knife in each hand, "Zuo wants to see what kind of evildoer this is!"
"kill!"
