Chapter 26: Dragon Tiger Mountain Rebellion

  Bai Qi is considered the number one among the practitioners of internal alchemy when it comes to seeking guidance from a Buddhist monk on the Taoist arts.

  The first part of the Qing Lei True Explanation has been fully comprehended, and Bai Qi's cultivation level is now stable at the initial stage of refining essence and transforming energy. However, the Qing Lei True Explanation is a comprehensive guide to all of Qing Emperor's Daoist techniques, and one must complete at least six volumes before practical techniques appear. If Bai Qi didn't have the skill of the Seven Killings Dragon Gun and had only learned the superficial Sword Maru technique, he would still be unable to fight against Essence Refining Masters.

  It's because when the Blue Emperor wrote the True Explanation of the Azure Thunder, he was already a demon emperor who had merged with the void and attained the Dao. At the stage of refining his essence to transform it into energy, he had already reached it at birth, having innate divine abilities numbering in the dozens, so there was no need for him to cultivate. It wasn't until the stage of refining energy to transform it into spirit that he began using some minor techniques. In the Blue Emperor's mind, this stage of refining essence to transform it into energy really didn't have anything worth saying about it.

  The demon clan is generally like this, and there are not many records of common sense. The human race lacks innate ability, so they pay great attention to collecting basic common sense for convenient inheritance.

  The prosperity of human beings is closely related to the inheritance of this knowledge.

  The bright moon is already slanting westward, and White's intention has not yet been fully expressed. Luo Jiang suddenly said: "Young Master Bai, I still need to take a look outside."

  "Why don't we go together?"

  "That won't do, White Master. If you go out like this, at least three to five hundred soldiers will follow, and nothing can be seen. The little monk wants to catch a lone zombie back for research."

  Bai Qi thought for a moment, but didn't insist. After all, he had already caused trouble once when he left the city, and almost got caught and threatened his father when he went to the south of the city again. If he were to sneak out again, his father would probably be furious.

  Bai Jian was relatively strict in his upbringing of his son, and he would never tolerate any nonsense.

  Luo was about to leave, and Bai Qi was thinking of taking a rest, when he heard the sound of commotion outside. The Feathered Forest Army was an elite army, even if they were breached by the enemy, they would not make such a racket.

  Bai Qi walked out of the tent and was immediately surrounded by twenty imperial guards.

  "Little General, you mustn't go out." These soldiers hadn't removed their armor, and Bai Qi's barracks had people taking turns standing guard, so there wouldn't be any gaps.

  Bai Qi smiled and said, "This is the rule of the Jin Dynasty. These soldiers who are responsible for protecting the general, if the general dies, they will also be beheaded. Their lives are tied together with mine." He said to the soldiers, "I just want to go up high and take a look."

  The soldiers didn't dare to stop him, this request was really too low. However, there were still officers who thought of a way, letting people go out and directly dismantling an arrow tower to bring it back. The arrow towers in the camp were somewhat simple, but their height was also over 10 zhang. Outside the Qin Wang Mausoleum, the terrain is flat, and the location of the camp is far from the forest. Bai Qi wanted to go to a high place to look around, which was easy to satisfy.

  The soldiers assembled the arrow tower, and Bai Qi listened to why the noise was coming from the northwest direction. It turned out that a zombie had rushed into the camp. Bai Qi also knew that this zombie sucked human brain marrow, and even elite soldiers who saw it would feel fear.

  Along with Bai Qi ascending the arrow tower were Xiao Yu and four soldiers.

  Bai Qi was forcibly dressed in armor, these soldiers did not dare to let the only son of Guo Gong wear a brocade robe to go up. In case there were stray arrows flying over and hurting Xiao Gongye, everyone would lose their heads.

  The four soldiers accompanying Bai Qi all wore double-layered armor and held wooden shields wrapped in copper.

  Near dawn, the moonlight was filled with a chill. Bai Qi climbed up the watchtower and gazed into the distance, where he saw dozens of beams of light in different colors flickering, dancing, and withering at the edge of the camp.

  Outside the camp, there were over a hundred zombies rushing towards the camp. The wooden wall of the camp was severely damaged, but now dozens of people wearing Taoist robes blocked the way, with a row of talisman soldiers standing in front, defending against the zombies' fierce breakthrough.

  The Taoist priests of Dragon Tiger Mountain have simple techniques, but it can't be blamed on them. Behind them are a large number of soldiers. The power of these zombies increases several times at night, unlike during the day, and they can rely on the soldiers to clear them out.

  Bai Qi was just wondering why his father had brought so many burdens when he saw a man on horseback charging into the zombie horde in the big camp.

  It was precisely White Jian, and Bai Qi saw his father's battle not for the first time, but only this time, he saw it with unparalleled clarity. From all directions of the camp, a thread of fierce and ferocious killing intent converged on White Jian. On top of White Jian's long spear, a dragon head phantom appeared, and the tens of thousands of cold and stern killing intents were absorbed by White Jian, enveloping his body in an invisible armor. Even his warhorse seemed to be covered with a layer of dark scales.

  The True Dragon Seven Kill Gun can actually gather the power of soldiers and form an ability similar to Tao Fa!

  Bai Qi was somewhat stunned, this time, it's just 200,000 troops, if Father led a million-strong army, what would be the effect?

  Bai Jian appeared, and the soldiers let out a deafening battle cry.

  The Taoist priests of Dragon Tiger Mountain retreated involuntarily as Bai Jian approached, sensing an enormous pressure emanating from him. Bai Jian's warhorse had begun to exhibit some signs of transforming into a dragon. However, this was forcibly inducing the horse's vital energy, and it would undoubtedly die after this battle.

  Bai Jian's long spear emitted hundreds of icy gun winds, transforming into scale-like substances in mid-air. When his warhorse charged into the zombie crowd, nearly half of the zombies had already been sliced into pieces. Bai Jian's spear danced horizontally and vertically, as if a killing star had descended upon the earth. The zombies, which were as hard as steel, appeared fragile like straw men in front of him.

  Bai Jian's warhorse let out a loud whinny, emitting a strong bloody aura. The zombies caught wind of the blood and, disregarding their own lives, pounced forward, allowing Bai Jian to slaughter them at an increasingly faster pace.

  The Taoist priests of Dragon and Tiger Mountain looked quite unpleasant, they were not unable to deal with these zombies, but the zombies were very good materials for them to refine, so they didn't want to destroy them like this. So they used the soldiers in the big camp behind them to attract the zombies, planning to capture them one by one.

  Bai Jian saw what the Taoists of Longhu Mountain were thinking, so he took action himself and beheaded these disturbing zombies. The zombies that were broken by the Gang Qi had no value to use, and their bodies were thoroughly destroyed by the Gang Qi.

  Bai Qi saw this scene and thought to himself, if his father could fly, those cultivators would probably be scared out of their wits.

  The extent of the shock in the minds of the Dragon and Tiger Mountain's Qi Refining Masters far exceeded Bai Qi's imagination.

  At this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded in the sky: "Qingfengzi, why haven't you made your move yet?"

  Upon hearing this urging voice, Qingfengzi shuddered. It was the voice of Yan Gongzi, the Heavenly Emperor's Inspector, who had chosen to obey Dragon and Tiger Mountain and secretly plot against Bai Jian. Unexpectedly, Yan Gongzi appeared now, intending to make a move on Bai Jian at Qin Wangling.

  This is why. To know, inside the Qin Wang Mausoleum, there are remaining dragon veins that were slowly stripped away by the Great Jin Dynasty. But even if only a thread of dragon vein remains, it will still have a great impact on the cultivators. Just now, Bai Jian's move was seen by everyone, who can be his opponent?

  Bai Jian suddenly reined in his warhorse and looked up at the sky, shouting: "You cowardly rats, dare you come down and fight me!"

  In the sky, a huge chariot appeared. The eight horses pulling the chariot were white and had soft fur like clouds, with hints of ethereal beauty. They stepped on the clouds, unmatched in their majesty. On the golden chariot, Yan Gongzi held a feather fan and wore a silk hat, looking down at the earthly Baili, saying: "You common people, are you worthy to fight me?"

  "Hah! Hah! Hah!" Bai Jian's laughter echoed three times, his long spear transforming into a giant dragon that soared into the sky.

  Yan Gongzi's face only had a cold smile, and he didn't dodge. This was the heavenly court's war chariot; a small mortal warrior like himself couldn't even hurt him, let alone kill him.

  The long spear transformed into a dragon, emitting a deafening dragon's roar, and flashed in the air for a few moments. The fierce impact landed under the golden chariot. The golden chariot flew upwards, Lord Yuan stumbled, and became enraged.

  Bai Jian had already waved his hand to recall the long spear and continued to laugh loudly.

  On the bottom plate of the golden chariot, a tiny hole appeared, which was indeed not enough to hurt Yan Gongzi's skin, but the heavenly horse pulling the carriage was startled by the dragon energy on the long gun, and it ran wildly with the golden chariot.

  A heavenly horse's hooves produce clouds, and in the blink of an eye it has already run out dozens of miles.

  On the chariot, Yan Gongzi's face turned alternately pale and red. Bai Jian's behavior made him lose face greatly. Since taking this position, no one has ever dared to treat him like this. In the Heavenly Court, he was just an ant, but in the Mortal Realm, he was the embodiment of the Heavenly Court's will, supreme and unassailable.

  "Go back!" Yan Gongzi's angry roar, the eight heavenly horses finally calmed down, slowly stopped their hooves, turned around and walked towards Bai Jian's camp.

  Yan Gongzi, outside the numerical realm, pointed downwards and said: "The people of Longhu Mountain, listen to my orders! Immediately slay the evil demon Bai Jian in the mortal world. If you do not obey, Longhu Mountain will also be reduced to dust!"

  As he roared these words, he had already taken out the golden plaque bestowed by the Heavenly Emperor. His voice was like thunder, audible for tens of miles around.

  Qingfengzi dared not hesitate at this moment, he shouted loudly: "Fellow Taoists, hurry up and take action, let Bai Jian gather the soldiers to come, we are all going to die!"

  Bai Jian turned his horse's head and pointed at Qingfengzi with his long spear from a distance, saying: "Dragon Tiger Mountain, are you going to betray Great Jin?"

  "Heaven's will, supreme and unassailable! General Bai, it seems your fate is not good!" Qingfengzi said, as a large banner suddenly appeared in his hand, standing beside him. On the banner were painted six snow-white skulls.

  Bai Qi stood on the top of the arrow tower, his eyes wide with fear. The Taoist priests of Longhu Mountain suddenly turned against them, and his father was likely to be in danger.

  He was waiting for Bái Wàng to dispatch troops, but saw a black giant snake flying in mid-air, spitting out white light from its mouth, rushing straight towards him.

  Not far away, a purple-robed cultivator was standing on the ground, controlling the black giant snake to attack the arrow tower.

  Those four soldiers held up their shields to welcome the attack, but were hit by the white light spat out by the giant snake. The white light struck the shields and shattered them directly, revealing rows of sharp teeth. Those teeth shattered the shields and still maintained their momentum, piercing directly into the soldiers' bodies. Even the double-layered iron armor was unable to stop the penetration of those teeth.

  The four soldiers immediately had a black aura on their faces and died of severe poisoning.
