Chapter 179: Subdue the Three Demons and Add a Strong General
"hiss!"
Xiang Chong, the "Eight-Armed Nezha", was looking at the red-haired ghost in the night sky with his body trembling. Even though his soul gave him twice as many arms, in terms of fighting power, he was no match for the red-haired ghost.
Not to mention the miraculous ability to use moonlight as a weapon.
In just one encounter, not to mention his "Eight-Armed Nezha", even if he joined forces with the "Flying Monkey King", he would be cut in half and die tragically on the spot.
Even though there is only a thin layer of moonlight guarding the soul, having it or not is like the difference between having armor or not having armor for the soul.
The red-haired ghost with magic armor is enough to compete with a cultivator like Fan Rui who is in the Sun Travel Realm of the Pregnant God.
The King of Precious Moonlight is the fundamental law of Buddhism. How can it be compared with the inferior side magic?
With his brother protecting him, the Red-haired Ghost burst out with all his strength. The saber in his hand whistled and chopped down with the force of a mountain.
"when!"
The devil knocked his weapon with the copper hammer again, and when he was about to repeat his old trick and use the meteor hammer again, the saber drew an arc and chopped down again.
"when!"
"when!"
One knife after another, one wave after another, seemingly endless.
The Red-haired Ghost was so satisfying to kill, and the Demon King was so scared to block it that his scalp tingled.
It was unbelievable that he, a master of the sixth level of the Sun Travel Realm, was unable to do anything to this evil spirit.
How frustrated I feel!
Finally, the red-haired ghost showed a trace of fatigue and fled down the mountain dragging his sword.
The Devil King took a deep breath and shouted, "How could Guan Yu's sword-dragging trick from the late Han Dynasty fool me? Watch me use my magic again, Xiang Chong, Li Gun..."
"exist!"
"Please God!"
After casting a spell, the Demon King summoned out false gods such as the Eight-Armed Nezha and the Flying Monkey King, while the real bodies of Xiang Chong and Li Gun led five hundred knife-rolling warriors and chased down the mountain.
Don't blame Fan Rui for being rash.
The Red-haired Ghost has been fighting with him for such a long time, but the little Meng De at the foot of the mountain has not sent any reinforcements, which shows that there is no one available.
They are just a group of warriors who refine their essence and nourish their qi!
They had been defeated during the day, but now at night, with the advantage of time and location, there was no reason for them to be afraid.
In the darkness of the night, a green lantern hangs high, and the magic that confuses the five senses is cast once again.
In the middle, he fought several battles with the Liangshan heroes, broke through the interception with great difficulty and smoothly, and finally arrived at the place where the Eight Diagrams were set up.
Although Fan Rui was good at magic and sorcery, he did not know the formation. He only felt that there were panicking figures at the foot of the mountain, and he could capture the Shandong boy Mengde with a single charge.
He secretly rejoiced in his heart: Since you are not as good as me in fighting, there is no need to worry about you.
So he ordered Xiang Chong and Li Gun, "If you see the wind rising, you two should lead 500 knife-wielding soldiers to capture little Meng De."
Xiang Chong and Li Gun received the order, each holding a barbarian shield, holding a javelin and a flying sword, waiting for Fan Rui to perform the ritual.
Fan Rui was standing in the night sky, holding the meteor bronze hammer in his left hand and the sword of the devil in his right hand. He was muttering something and shouting, "Hurry!"
In an instant, strong winds blew up, sand and rocks flew, the sky became dark, and the sun and moon lost their light.
Seeing the wind rising, Xiang Chong and Li Gun shouted and led five hundred knife-wielding soldiers to charge forward.
In the Eight Diagrams, Cao Jie felt the strong wind that could uproot trees and break rocks. Without Gongsun Sheng casting a spell, he stretched out his palm into the wind and performed the "Returning Wind" technique, causing the five hundred knife-rollers to face the storm head-on.
And the "divine calculator" Jiang Jing raised the Seven-Star Flag with just one move, and the formation rolled and turned into a long snake formation.
Xiang Chong and Li Gun were leading the roller bladers in the battle array, facing the wind. They did not understand why the wind was blowing towards them. They felt something was wrong and wanted to retreat.
But no matter how far he went, he still couldn't find the way.
On the high slope, Jiang Jing was pointing the way with a small flag.
If they voted east, Jiang Jing would point east; if they voted west, he would point west.
The two men and the five hundred knife-rollers were trapped in the formation. The sky was dark and the moon was dim. There was no light from the moon. There was not a single brother to be seen around them. There was only black air everywhere, and those who followed them had disappeared.
Xiang Chong and Li Gun were extremely panicked, like headless flies trying to find their way back to the mountain, but they couldn't find the way home no matter how hard they tried.
As they were walking, the ground suddenly gave way and the two demons cried out in pain. Sure enough, several heroes rushed forward, knocked them to the ground, tied them up with hemp ropes, and took them to the battlefield to ask for credit.
As for the Demon King of Chaos and the false gods he invited, Gongsun Sheng transformed into a cloud dragon and struck down with a pure Taoist thunder method. The Eight-Armed Nezha and the Flying Monkey King, who had no fundamental protection, were instantly defeated.
Even Fan Rui, a master who had entered the Sun Travel Realm, was trembling all over under the thunder, and his magic could not hold out.
"Devil, you have fallen into the trap, why don't you surrender?"
The red-haired ghost laughed loudly, drew his sword and mounted his horse, blocking the way.
The Demon King looked at the green dragon behind him fearfully, and said with a trembling voice, "Please allow my soul to return to its place and I will surrender to you."
"Okay! My brother said that the heavens are merciful and considerate of you, and considering that it is not easy for you to cultivate to the Sun Traveling Realm, he will not harm your soul and will let you go."
The red-haired ghost made way for me and said, "Don't be like that barbarian king. He made me wait for seven captures and seven releases before I surrendered. We are all warriors and bandits. We don't have that kind of patience."
"Yes Yes Yes……"
When the strong wind died down, Cao Jie stood on the hillside, and all the heroes stood in front of him.
Xue Yong and Hou Jian tied up Xiang Chong and Li Gun and brought them under their command.
When Cao Jie saw this, he took a few quick steps to cut the rope, took the lead himself, and said, "My two warriors, please don't blame us for being violent. We have no choice but to do so when facing the enemy! I am Cao Jie from Yuncheng, Shandong. I have heard of your great names for a long time, and I would like to invite you to the mountain to join us in our righteous cause.
But my Liangshan is not well-known, so I came up with this plan. If you don't abandon me, I will be honored to return to the mountain stronghold with you."
You have kidnapped everyone, is it useful to say these things?
It must be useful!
No matter who it is, it is easier to back down if given a way out.
After hearing this, the two looked at each other, prostrated themselves on the ground and said, "We have heard of the great name of little Mengde. Everyone knows it. It's just that we have no chance to meet him. It turns out that brother is indeed a man of great integrity. We two didn't recognize a good man and wanted to go against the heaven and earth. Now that we have been captured, death is not enough, but you treat us with courtesy. If you don't kill me and take me in, I swear to repay your kindness with my own death."
"How can Fan Rui control the Mangdang Mountain Stronghold without the two of us? If you are willing to let one of us go back, we can persuade Fan Rui to surrender. What do you think?"
Cao Jie laughed and said, "Brave men, there is no need to leave anyone here as a hostage. Please return to your camp. Cao Jie will wait for good news here."
Xiang Chong and Li Gun were so impressed that they bowed down to thank him, saying, "Brother, you are a real man. If Fan Rui doesn't surrender, we will capture him and serve you."
Leading five hundred knife-rolling soldiers back to the Mangdang Mountain Stronghold, Xiang Chong and Li Gun went straight to look for Fan Rui.
Fan Rui was feeling depressed and was wondering whether to surrender or not. When he saw his two brothers coming back safely, he said happily, "That little Meng De isn't that great!"
The two men smiled bitterly and told him about Cao Jie's loyalty.
This time, Fan Rui had no other ideas. He sighed and said, "Since Cao Jie is such a great sage and has the most loyal character, we cannot go against the will of heaven. Let's all go down the mountain and pay our respects to him at dawn!"
If you don't surrender, you might end up with your head and body separated.
He called himself the Devil of Chaos. But didn’t you see that the Devil of Chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty also surrendered to Emperor Taizong of Tang, which made him famous in later generations?
At dawn the next day, the three demons came down the mountain together, and prostrated themselves before the Eight Diagrams.
Cao Jie helped Fan Rui up. Fan Rui saw that Cao Jie had no suspicion at all. They opened up to each other and told each other about their life stories.
The three demons invited all the leaders to come to the Mangdang Mountain Stronghold, where they slaughtered cattle and horses, making it very lively.
Within a few days, they led oxen and horses, took away the money and food from the mountain stronghold, loaded the luggage, gathered the men and horses, burned down the stronghold, and headed for Shandong with Cao Jie and others...
