Chapter 175: Monsters and Demons
Shancheng Kingdom is actually not very big, with a total area of only about a hundred miles. If Chen Jiu really wants to take it over quickly, it will not take half a day.
However, he was just trying to procrastinate and naturally wouldn't do it for real.
The next morning, he solemnly set up a reviewing platform in the south of Kyoto City and asked the wealthy families to gather 50,000 troops in front of the platform. He also recruited 10,000 bat soldiers, and they were lined up neatly in the sky and on the ground.
He even specially pulled Wuding Marquis Guo Xun to the stage and asked with a smile: "My Lord, what do you think of this battle?"
Your formation is too scary. Just the tens of thousands of bat soldiers in the sky are enough to scare people to death.
Wuding Marquis Guo Xun quickly clapped his hands and said, "Your Highness is wise. These noble and wealthy children are used to being lazy, but Your Highness can actually train them to be as well-organized as the elite troops of the Beijing Camp. It's amazing."
Who are you talking about? You deserve a beating, right?
The people from the aristocratic families below couldn't help but feel secretly angry when they heard this. If this guy wasn't an imperial envoy, they would have killed him just for this sentence!
Chen Jiu suddenly said solemnly: "My Lord, they are going to attack Nanshan City today. Do you want to go with them and take a look?"
Are you kidding? Should I go with you?
I don't want to die!
Duke Wei said when he returned that during the battle, the real god from Japan suddenly appeared. His divine power almost scared the accompanying military officials to death. Those military officials all fell seriously ill after returning.
Wuding Marquis Guo Xun shook his head repeatedly and said, "Your Highness, I am just pretending to be an imperial envoy. You can just treat me as a decoration. Don't take it seriously. I won't really keep an eye on them."
Chen Jiu heard this and nodded slightly, "Okay, it's really dangerous to follow them. There are too many descendants of the Japanese True God here. If they accidentally kill one, the Japanese True God will come immediately.
Last time, my disciple the Great Sage hit someone to death with a stick, and the Japanese God came over in a flash. If I hadn’t been quick, the 50,000-strong army would have been finished.
That guy was too fast, the light of his sword was like lightning, and ordinary earth immortals could not dodge it at all. His head would be cut off in a snap. If I had not practiced the "Tiger Demon Divine Fist" and had not possessed wind-related supernatural powers, I would not have been able to block the light of that guy's sword.
My Lord, you'd better stay in Kyoto. If the imperial envoy is killed suddenly, I won't be able to explain myself."
So scary!
Wuding Hou Guo Xun subconsciously touched his neck and said, "Okay, my lord, just fight as much as you want. I will have someone report that you are fighting as hard as you can."
It’s good that you know what’s best for you. If you don’t, one day your head might really be snapped off!
Chen Jiu nodded slightly, then raised his hand and called out his eldest disciple, Sun Dasheng.
Sun Dasheng didn't waste any words and raised his hand and said, "Let's go!"
When the earthly immortals from the noble and wealthy families saw Sun Wukong coming out, they couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. They thought the King of Nine Mountains had forgotten about him.
This Monkey King is extremely powerful. They still remember the power of that stick. This guy can really withstand a few blows from the real gods. They feel very safe following him . If this guy wasn't there, they would be a little panicked.
When Guo Xun, the Marquis of Wuding, saw the army setting off, he immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I didn't sleep well yesterday, so I want to catch up on some sleep."
You are also a terrestrial immortal, do you still need to sleep every day?
Chen Jiu raised his hand slightly and said, "My Lord, please do as you please. You are an imperial envoy, so you don't need to ask me what you are doing."
Guo Xun, Marquis of Wuding, immediately bowed and took his leave, then disappeared in a flash.
Chen Jiu, however, stared at the receding backs of the army and frowned in deep thought.
This Shancheng Kingdom is a very small place, and almost all the people have run away, so it’s not easy to drag them away.
Although he was just pretending to fight, he still had to have some Japanese pirate heads as evidence. Otherwise, it would be unreasonable that 50,000 troops "fought fiercely" for a whole day without killing even one Japanese pirate.
This is really a bit troublesome. He can only hope that there will be more defenders in Nanshan City.
He was frowning and thinking when a bat soldier suddenly flew back and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, it's bad. The army was ambushed and many of the noble families' children were killed or injured!"
What?
How is that possible!
He extended his spiritual sense to take a look and was stunned.
At this time, the vanguard of the army was actually only a dozen miles away from him, and the rear was even only a few miles away from him.
He had already scanned the area with his spiritual sense, and there was nothing on the empty plain ahead, so he ignored it.
Who would have thought that at this moment, countless huge cow ghosts and giant snakes over ten feet long suddenly appeared in front of them.
The heads of those giant snakes are triangular and look extremely poisonous. Perhaps this is the so-called snake god.
So many!
It seems that a certain true god in Japan can also give birth to these two monsters in large numbers like him.
Where did these guys come from?
He scanned it with his spiritual sense again and understood it instantly.
Less than ten miles southeast of Kyoto, Japan, is Lake Biwa, the largest lake in Japan. Lake Biwa is probably more than two hundred miles in circumference, and is connected to the sea in the north through several large rivers.
These monsters must have swam from those big rivers to Lake Biwa and hid there. No wonder he didn't detect them with his spiritual sense just now.
He just scanned the area with his spiritual sense, then spread his golden wings and flew above the army.
These monsters and demons must have been transformed by the true gods of Japan. They cannot be taken into the immortal palace when they are alive. They can only be taken in after they are killed.
The earthly immortals from the aristocratic and wealthy families were made desperate by them, and the children of the aristocratic and wealthy families were chased everywhere.
There was no way. These monsters were all at the level of demon kings, with thick skin and flesh, huge bodies, and incredible strength. Except for Sun Wukong who could kill one with one stick, all the earthly immortals were in a mess, and the children of wealthy families were simply unable to do anything.
This is too chaotic. It's hard to kill them. If there was no one below, he could just slap these monsters to death with a few slaps. But now he can't even slap them.
Seeing this, Chen Jiu could only draw out Kaitian and spread his golden wings, turning into a phantom and quickly shuttled through the army.
In a flash, in the blink of an eye, the heads of hundreds of monsters and demons suddenly fell off their necks, and the rich and powerful children below them were instantly drenched by the fountain of cow and snake blood, and in a flash, the heads of hundreds of monsters and demons suddenly fell off their necks again.
Swish, swish, swish, a series of phantoms flashed by, and in an instant, the heads of hundreds of monsters and demons fell to the ground.
Upon seeing this, the other evil spirits were so frightened that they immediately scattered and tried their best to escape into Lake Biwa.
Chen Jiu did not chase after them, because there was enough food, and so many heads were enough for a day's military merit.
By the way, they always pretended to be miserable before, but this time they are really miserable, so this is a good opportunity to add some drama.
When he saw the miserable condition of the children of wealthy families, an idea came to him.
Perhaps, they could pretend to be furious and embarrass Jiajing, and also let the common people know that they were really fighting bloody battles in Japan.
Thinking of this, he immediately shouted: "Quick, take a good look, save those who can be saved quickly, and put those who can't be saved together, and quickly count the casualties."
There!
When the immortals and descendants of the wealthy families saw the place he pointed to, they were stunned. That was the lowest place, where all the cow blood and snake blood had flowed. It was full of blood. Why would they soak people in it?
Oh, how could these guys be so stupid.
Chen Jiu could only pretend to be angry and said, "Didn't Jiajing force us to fight to the death? I will show him how desperate we are!"
Oh, I see. This is going to be sent to the capital to be seen by Jiajing. The more miserable it is, the better.
A group of immortals and their children from noble and wealthy families hurriedly began to check carefully, and while they were checking, someone started crying.
This time they were suddenly ambushed, it was really tragic. Thousands were bitten to death or hanged, and tens of thousands were injured. These were all their relatives!
Fortunately, Chen Jiu arrived quickly, otherwise, more than half of them would have been killed or injured.
Seeing this, Chen Jiu could only sigh helplessly and said, "I can only try my best to seek some justice for you. Now, those who are injured and can stand up, stand up and roll in the blood. The seriously injured should be taken back for treatment. Great Sage, you collect the corpses of the monsters and use them to make soup for everyone, and leave their heads."
Soon, nearly ten thousand lightly injured scions of wealthy families were rolling in the blood. They all looked so miserable.
Upon seeing this, Chen Jiu rolled in the bloody water without hesitation, then collected the heads of the injured, dead and those evil spirits, then spread his golden wings and flew towards the capital of the Ming Dynasty at full speed.
"Boom!" A terrifying sound of thunder rang directly from the seaside all the way to the capital, and the people in the capital were all startled.
Why is there such a loud thunder on such a sunny day?
They all looked up at the sky.
Naturally, there was not a single cloud in the sky, but many people saw a giant monster with wings several miles long suddenly appear in the sky above Chengtian Gate in front of the imperial city.
The monster seemed to be covered with blood scabs, black and red in color, and it was scary to death.
"Where did this evil monster come from? How dare you come to the capital and make trouble?"
A roar was heard, and Jiajing's figure immediately appeared above the palace.
"What? Don't you want to live? Is this the place you can come to?"
An arrogant voice was heard, and the figure of Crown Prince Zhu Yijun appeared above the palace.
Chen Jiuyun roared, "Monster? Don't you want to live? I am the King of Nine Mountains who fought bloody battles for you in Japan! You said I didn't fight hard enough, today I will show you how hard I fight!"
Suddenly, a bloody rain fell from the sky. Tens of thousands of injured and dead young men from wealthy families were suspended in the sky above the capital. They were all covered in blood, and the blood was falling down.
The people nearby looked up and were shocked.
It's too tragic, really too tragic. Some people were directly beaten into pieces, some people had holes on their bodies bigger than bowls, and there were many people who were missing limbs.
Is this the young man from a wealthy family who fought bravely in Japan?
They are so miserable!
Seeing this, Jiajing couldn't help but frowned and said, "Chen Jiu, what do you mean?"
Chen Jiu roared again: "I don't mean anything, I just want everyone in the world to know that I, King Jiushan, am fighting bloody battles for the Ming Dynasty, and the children of the aristocratic families have suffered heavy casualties. We are not the traitors you say!
Do you know who our enemies are? Do you think it’s just the Japanese pirates?
I brought some with me for you to see.”
After saying that, he simply raised his hand and waved it, and the heads of the monsters and demons were immediately scattered all over the capital.
"Ah! What kind of monster is this?"
The entire capital city was immediately filled with exclamations.
Upon seeing this, the Crown Prince Zhu Yijun could not help but said angrily: "Chen Jiu, you want to rebel, right ?"
Chen Jiu roared again: "I said, I am not a traitor, I am the King of Jiushan who fought bloody battles for the Ming Dynasty in Japan. You are still lying with your eyes open, right? You are so shameless. There is nothing to say to people like you. I have to go back to Japan to continue fighting."
After saying that, he gathered all the injured and dead young men from wealthy families into the demonic power space, then spread his wings and flapped them vigorously, and with a bang he flew into the sky and disappeared.
The sound of thunder spread from the capital to the seaside and lasted for a long time.
Seeing this, Jiajing couldn't help but snorted, "Boring!"
He already understood what Chen Jiu meant.
Chen Jiu is competing with him for the hearts of the people.
Does he care about public opinion?
He doesn't care about the people's support at all!
In front of the true God, all earthly immortals are ants. Why should we care about the people's hearts?
