Chapter 1398 Six Paths of Dharma
A few days later, King Jinfeng and King Yinlei came to the West Shu Army together.
The two demon kings, the little saint monk and the ghost saint Xu Wan, had a practical and effective meeting on how to cooperate closely and jointly eradicate the three temples of the East China Sea.
At dusk that night, Jinfenghai and Leijitan sent a demon army to the vicinity of the Yin-Yang Channel where the West Shu Army was located.
Obviously, Jinfenghai and Leijitan had already formed a demon army and prepared for an expedition long before King Jinfeng and King Yinlei arrived at Liuli.
Otherwise, how could there be such a fast pace?
Both parties knew these things tacitly.
The Jinfenghai demon army was worthy of being owned by King Jinfeng, one of the nine great demon kings.
The demon army had an eighth-level demon as the commander and three seventh-level demons as generals. Under the commander and three generals, there were 3,000 demon soldiers of various grades and ranks.
This force alone was equivalent to half of the West Shu Army.
Although the demon army of Leijitan was far inferior, it was also the icing on the cake.
In this way, the strength of the West Shu Army and the two demon armies increased greatly, and their morale was greatly boosted.
That night, the West Shu Army held a banquet at Liuli to welcome the two demon armies.
The next day, the coalition forces of the two sides were on the verge of a fight.
The Yin-Yang Channel, which was thousands of miles in radius, became the enemy of the coalition.
According to the pre-designated tactical arrangement, the ghost monks were located at the outermost side of the Yin-Yang Channel. Their role was to prevent external enemies from affecting the battle situation.
To put it bluntly, they were spectators...
All the Buddhist monks were dispatched.
At the center of the Yin-Yang Channel, the little saint monk Jiaye had already sat cross-legged.
Other Buddhist monks, in the sky above the Yin-Yang Channel, performed their duties according to their positions.
Countless Buddhist monks guarded the little monk in the center, like a starry sky.
The arrangement between the Buddhist monks was not chaotic, but orderly according to an ancient formation - the secret formation of Buddhism - the six realms of law!
These six realms can reproduce the six realms of reincarnation.
In order to close the Yin-Yang channel, the little monk adjusted the six realms to a phase specifically targeting the hell realm, named - breaking the hell realm!
With the combination of the Hell Breaking Mantra and the Hell Breaking Realm, Buddhism flourished and the ghost realm declined.
Over time, the Yin-Yang channel will gradually shrink...
According to the little monk's prediction, as long as the Yin-Yang channel is reduced to a radius of 100 miles, he will have a way to prevent it from rebounding and then completely close it.
However, in this process, the underworld beasts that sprang out of the Yin-Yang channel will need the Jinfenghai and Leijitan two demon armies to fight against...
Because the Jinfenghai demon army is twice as strong as the Leijitan demon army, therefore, the Jinfenghai demon army is responsible for twice as much as the Leijitan demon army.
The entire Yin-Yang channel with a radius of a thousand miles is divided into three equal parts.
The Leijitan demon army guards one, and the Jinfenghai demon army guards the other.
In this way, it is also in order.
At noon, it is the time when the yang energy is at its peak.
On the ninth-grade white jade lotus platform, the little monk closed his eyes slightly and put his hands together.
The sound of chanting scriptures, sometimes louder and sometimes softer, came out from the little monk's mouth.
Gradually, the Buddhist practitioners around the little monk also began to chant scriptures in the rhythm of the little monk's chanting.
The sound of the scriptures became louder and louder, and spread wider and wider...
In the end, there was a Buddhist sound for a thousand miles.
The faint Buddha light fell from the sky and covered the entire Yin-Yang Channel.
The edge of the Yin-Yang Channel moved and trembled.
The two demon armies guarding the outside of the Yin-Yang Channel were excited when they saw this.
The two demon armies had originally thought of sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight, but after the traces of the Yin-Yang Channel appeared in Jinfeng Sea and Leijitan, the two demon kings were frightened.
As native monks of the East China Sea, they were even more afraid of the Three Gods Temples of the East China Sea.
They knew very well: if they were forced into a corner, the Three Gods Temples of the East China Sea would dare to do anything!
Since the three temples of the East China Sea will be attacked sooner or later, why not take advantage of the fact that the cultivation world in the Central Plains is fighting with the other side and add a piece of wood and a fire to solve the problem once and for all?
The King of Golden Wind and the King of Silver Thunder have been secretly communicating and have already reached an agreement.
Now seeing that the little monk's plan has begun to work, the two demon armies share the same glory.
If the Yin-Yang channel can be closed in this way and the three temples of the East China Sea can be sealed, the Golden Wind Sea and the Thunder Sacrifice Pond will also be happy to see it happen.
The East China Sea is their East China Sea after all!
One day, the cultivators of the Central Plains will return to the Central Plains.
By then, the cultivation world of the East China Sea will still belong to their demon kings of the East China Sea!
After thinking this through, the King of Golden Wind and the King of Silver Thunder were willing to send troops this time.
As time went by, the Yin-Yang channel gradually shrank...
The grand Buddha light in the sky was like a tight hoop, tightly locking the Yin-Yang channel, making it unable to expand, but only shrinking.
If everything goes well, it will only take time for the area to shrink from a thousand miles to a hundred miles - provided that nothing unexpected happens during this period!
However, an accident finally happened!
Just when the Yin-Yang Channel was reduced to a radius of nine hundred miles, something strange happened.
Countless underworld beasts gushed out of the Yin-Yang Channel for a long time.
At that moment, the Yin-Yang Channel within a radius of nine hundred miles was almost full of underworld beasts.
Fortunately, these underworld beasts were just ordinary creatures, not very high-level, and the two demon armies guarding the outer periphery of the Yin-Yang Channel were well prepared.
As soon as the two sides met, the two demon armies won a great victory.
This time, not only was morale greatly boosted, but also paralysis and carelessness.
The two demon armies always thought that the Xishu army was mediocre in combat power and could not even eat such an ordinary underworld beast. They were complacent and arrogant.
However, soon, another wave of underworld beasts hit them head-on.
Although the number of this wave of underworld beasts was not as large as the first wave, some high-level underworld beasts with spiritual intelligence were lurking among them.
Unlike low-level underworld beasts driven by instinct, after the birth of spiritual intelligence, high-level underworld beasts are almost the same as ordinary human cultivators or demon cultivators.
They are no longer monsters, but exist on an equal footing with humans and demons!
It is the existence of these high-level underworld beasts that caused the two demon armies to suffer heavy losses.
Fortunately, the two demon armies have seventh-level or even eighth-level big demons sitting in charge. When they realized that the situation was not right, the high-level demon cultivators went out and suppressed those high-level underworld beasts in an instant.
After this incident, the two demon armies dared not be negligent again.
After that, it was a tough and arduous tug-of-war...
As time went by, the scope of the Yin-Yang Channel became smaller and smaller, and accordingly, the underworld beasts that emerged from the Yin-Yang Channel became more and more powerful.
When the area was 700 miles in radius, a high-level underworld beast that could rival the seventh-level demon appeared.
When the area was 500 miles in radius, even a super-giant underworld beast appeared. The giant underworld beast was forced into the Yin-Yang Channel only after the Silver Thunder King used the Heavenly Water Divine Thunder.
Even so, the giant underworld beast was only repelled but not killed.
When the area was 300 miles in radius, a new underworld beast appeared - a humanoid underworld beast!
Just as the little nun who met Xiao Mian that day joked, this kind of humanoid underworld beast really exists in the Yin-Yang Channel!
These humanoid underworld beasts are not only extremely intelligent, but also highly cultivated.
It is not impossible to say that they are another form of human beings...
It is these humanoid underworld beasts that caused the two demon armies to fall into a bitter battle.
The Golden Wind Sea Demon Army is not so bad, after all, it is strong and has a deep foundation.
On the Leijitan side, it was a bit stretched.
The Leijitan demon army had only two seventh-level demons, one was the old general of the Silver Thunder King, Lei Zhentian, and the other was the newly arrived transformed demon, Lei Yunze.
Even with the Silver Thunder King himself, there were only three top combat forces.
Unfortunately, there were as many as ten humanoid underworld beasts rushing out of the Yin-Yang Channel this time.
The ratio of Jinfenghai and Leijitan was two to one.
According to this garrison ratio, the number of humanoid underworld beasts assigned to the Leijitan demon army should be about three.
Unfortunately, the fourth humanoid underworld beast was also on the Leijitan side.
In desperation, Lei Zhentian and Lei Yunze entangled a humanoid underworld beast each, and the Silver Thunder King took the lead and fought against two humanoid underworld beasts alone.
However, in this way, the Leijitan demon army lost its high-level demon cultivators.
As time went on, the underworld beasts rushing out of the Yin-Yang Channel became stronger and stronger, and it became more and more difficult for the Leijitan demon army to deal with them.
Moreover, after the previous losses, the demon army of Leijitan also suffered heavy casualties.
If things go wrong, the demon army of Leijitan will be completely wiped out here!
At this time, the Silver Thunder King had already turned into a huge silver light eel, fighting hard with the two humanoid underworld beasts.
In a hurry, seeing his subordinates suffer heavy casualties, the Silver Thunder King was heartbroken.
Unlike human monks, most of the demon army belong to the same tribe.
The demon army of Leijitan is more or less the bloodline of the Silver Thunder King clan.
Could it be that my Leijitan lineage will be wiped out here?
Just as the Silver Thunder King had this thought, another escape light rushed towards him.
The two humanoid underworld beasts had forced the Silver Thunder King to show his true form as a demon. If another humanoid underworld beast came, even the Silver Thunder King would be in danger.
The Silver Thunder King wanted to avoid the battle, but the escape light took the lead.
"Senior Silver Thunder King, please be patient! I am here to help you!"
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Mian arrived with his killing move.
Xiao Mian saw the casualties of the demon army in Leijitan.
Xiao Mian also saw the hesitation of Silver Thunder King.
If he didn't help, Silver Thunder King would definitely run away.
However, the Buddhist cultivators were chanting in the air, and the ghost cultivators couldn't do anything. Only Xiao Mian, who was free, took action at the right time and tripped Silver Thunder King.
When he first saw Xiao Mian, Silver Thunder King was a little unconvinced.
What help can a mere Jindan cultivator do?
But soon, Silver Thunder King changed his mind...
It was this Jindan cultivator who, with a single sword, encircled a humanoid underworld beast.
Single-handedly fighting against that humanoid underworld beast, this Jindan cultivator was at ease.
Huh?
Isn't this the one who led away the boy Yanxi Beast together with that bald donkey Jiaye?
Taking a look at Xiao Mian, Silver Thunder King finally remembered Xiao Mian's identity...
At the same time, Silver Thunder King was not idle.
Taking advantage of the good opportunity that another humanoid underworld beast was restrained by Xiao Mian, Silver Thunder King once again used the Heavenly Water Divine Thunder to blast the other humanoid underworld beast to death.
But just before Silver Thunder King killed this humanoid underworld beast, Xiao Mian seemed to be overwhelmed and was repelled by the humanoid underworld beast and hid in the demon army of Lei Ji Tan.
Silver Thunder King was depressed and had to take over the humanoid underworld beast again.
However, this humanoid underworld beast had seen the power of Silver Thunder King's Heavenly Water Divine Thunder and refused to give Silver Thunder King the opportunity to use Heavenly Water Divine Thunder again.
In the end, Silver Thunder King had no choice but to kill the other party with his own demon soldier.
Without stopping, Silver Thunder King joined forces with Lei Zhentian and Lei Yunze to kill the other two humanoid underworld beasts, and only then was he able to reorganize his camp and gain a firm foothold.
Seeing all this, Xiao Mian was neither happy nor sad.
It was not that Xiao Mian was cunning, but that people's hearts were unpredictable and the nature of monsters was unpredictable.
Once Xiao Mian showed the strength to fight against humanoid underworld beasts, Silver Thunder King would never lend a hand to Xiao Mian who had helped him.
He would first rescue Lei Zhentian and Lei Yunze, and then take charge of the Thunder Sacrifice Pond Monster Army.
If Xiao Mian had not been killed by the humanoid underworld beasts after doing all this, or had not been able to kill the humanoid underworld beasts, Silver Thunder King would have to make a choice.
Once Xiao Mian had managed to kill the humanoid underworld beast, what awaited him would be responsibility.
In this case, helping in emergencies rather than helping the poor is Xiao Mian's philosophy.
Only in this way can he try his best to hide his strength and maximize the potential of the Thunder Sacrifice Pond Monster Army...
Although it is a bit despicable, who doesn't live for survival?
This is Xiao Mian's way of survival!
Of course, if the situation is really so bad that it cannot be solved without his help, Xiao Mian will not rest on his laurels and watch the corpses of the demon army in Lei Ji Tan spread all over the ground.
This is also Xiao Mian's way of survival!
While Lei Ji Tan was reorganizing its front line, Jin Fenghai had already killed or expelled the invading underworld beasts and completed this round of defense tasks.
The Yin-Yang Channel was stabilized outside the 300-li radius.
Three days and three nights have passed, and it will continue to pass...
From the beginning, this was a protracted war!
However, neither the Western Shu Army nor the two demon armies, nor even Xiao Mian, thought that this protracted war would be so difficult.
Although the Yin-Yang Channel was forced to a radius of 300 miles.
But at the same time, the two demon armies responsible for suppressing the underworld beasts were also on the verge of their limits.
The ninth-level great demon king Jin Feng Wang was still able to maintain his status and sit high.
The eighth-level small demon king Yin Lei Wang, however, had put down his posture and took action himself.
Although Xiao Mian had only touched the surface before, he also felt the tension of the Thunder Sacrifice Pond Demon Army and the hesitation of the Silver Thunder King.
If the tension continues, the Silver Thunder King will change sooner or later!
Once the Silver Thunder King leads the Thunder Sacrifice Pond Demon Army to leave, the situation will be even worse.
With this in mind, Xiao Mian sent a message to the little monk above the Yin-Yang Channel.
The next moment, the sound of scriptures shrouding the Yin-Yang Channel gradually disappeared...
Although the Buddha's light still surrounded the Yin-Yang Channel with a radius of 300 miles, the sound of scriptures did stop.
It was as if the Buddhist practitioners in Xishuzhou also needed to rest.
At this time, the Ghost Saint Xu Wan, who had received the news, led the ghost monks of Xishuzhou to take over the defense line of the two demon armies, allowing the two demon armies to rest.
This was not part of the previous plan...
Xiao Mian saw that the battle was difficult, so he begged the little monk to slow down the process of sealing the Yin-Yang Channel and let the ghost monks take over the two demon armies.
Since it was a protracted war, we must be prepared for a protracted war!
Although the ghost monks could not participate in suppressing the underworld beasts when the Buddhist monks were chanting, they still had a place to use their skills when the Buddhist monks stopped chanting.
On the Yin-Yang Channel with a radius of 300 miles, underworld beasts appeared one after another.
The ghost monks, who had gathered their strength, fought against those underworld beasts...
