Chapter 224 Puppet Soldiers
However, this custom has been practiced for several years, but it still hasn't allowed the false god to find a suitable body.
As a result, Zheng Linggui no longer had the heart to choose the items herself. She simply asked the Archbishop to help her choose. She would use the items that were acceptable for a few days. If she got tired of them, she could always discard them and replace them.
And tonight, the archbishop was surprised to find that there were two stunning beauties among the brides.
The Archbishop kept Lin Qingyue for himself, and gave Dongfang Qi to Zheng Linggui as a body to reside in.
When Zheng Linggui saw Lin Qingyue for the first time, he didn't fully recognize her.
It was not until she used her evil magic to evoke the secret illusions in Lin Qingyue's heart that she realized that the Demon Lord Qingyue, who had once made the entire cultivation world tremble in fear, had returned!
At this moment, although it can be felt that Lin Qingyue is very different from the tyrant of the past, her power is much weaker than before.
But Zheng Linggui was still afraid of her, so he only dared to use shady means and did not dare to confront her head-on.
After Lin Qingyue saw through the illusion, she tried to use words to influence her state of mind:
"And your father, like my father, is also an immortal master in the world of immortal cultivation. The power of faith he enjoys is no less than my father's. Even he thinks your actions are a betrayal of your teacher and ancestors!"
"So what?" Lin Qingyue said coldly, "You hypocrites are allowed to slaughter the lower realms at will, but I am not allowed to slaughter you? Humph, I will kill anyone I dislike, and I will destroy any sect I dislike! What does it matter if you cultivate immortality or demons?"
"But you're from the Immortal Sect! From childhood to adulthood, you've enjoyed the abundant cultivation resources of the Immortal Realm and are regarded as a genius by the leaders of the major sects. You should be a defender of morality, giving back to the Immortal Cultivation World. Why sympathize with those lowly mortals? They are so foolish, only fit to serve as our nourishment, constantly contributing the power of our faith. You traitor, you deserve to be cut into pieces and condemned to eternal damnation, never to be reborn!"
"You talk too much nonsense!" Lin Qingyue flipped her hand, and the Netherworld Umbrella flew back into her hand.
After hearing the sound of "swish", flying knives from the 12 umbrella ribs came out at the same time and attacked in all directions.
But no matter which direction the attack came from, the man in black robe could easily dodge it.
Her soul was like a wisp of smoke, dispersing and gathering, gathering and dispersing again, unable to cause any harm at all.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Sinister laughter came from all directions, and her wild voice filled every corner of the hall.
"I told you, you can't kill me! Do you see this palace? This is the Cloud Palace from back then. I built an identical Cloud Palace. I want to bring back the glory of the Immortal Cultivation World back to this world!"
"I want everyone in this world to believe in me, the Great God Guiyuan! No matter if you are Lin Qingyue or the Demon Lord from back then, you will not be allowed to leave my temple today!"
As he was speaking, a whistle was heard, followed by the sound of dense footsteps outside the hall.
Dongfang Qi hurriedly warned Lin Qingyue, "Be careful! Who knows what despicable tricks she might resort to!"
Lin Qingyue said, "I'll use any means I can. I was able to kill her once before, and I can do it again now! She's just a wandering ghost without a physical body! How dare you play tricks on me?"
The next moment, countless soldiers wearing this armor rushed into the hall from all directions.
Although these people were all dressed as soldiers, the styles of armor they wore were different and they did not look like soldiers from the same country.
These messy soldiers, with sunken faces, whites of eyes without pupils, and a rotting smell emanating from their bodies, looked like the walking dead.
Then these zombies moved very quickly, and in an instant they surrounded them, slashing at Lin Qingyue and Dongfang Qi with weapons.
"Be careful!" Dongfang Qi swung his sword, and the sword energy cut off the heads of several puppets cleanly.
Unfortunately, even without heads, the puppets continued to swing their weapons and kill.
Lin Qingyue hurriedly said to Dongfang Qi, "These are puppets. They have no sense of pain and cannot be killed. The only weakness is their spine. If the spine is cut, the upper body will not be able to stand upright."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Qi raised his sword and chopped off the lumbar vertebrae of several puppets around him.
Then, the puppets' upper bodies snapped and broke in half, their hands losing their ability to move. Their legs, while still able to move, could no longer pose a threat.
The Netherworld Umbrella on Lin Qingyue's side continuously flew out sharp blades, which had already chopped off the lumbar vertebrae of more than a dozen puppets in succession, and then chopped off their knees with one knife, completely making them unable to move.
Before long, the two of them were surrounded by the remains of the puppets.
However, more puppets continued to pour into the hall.
Not only did puppets pour in from the windows, in front of the hall, and behind the hall, but they also kept crawling in from the roof.
These rotten zombies were so densely packed and endless that they could not be completely killed.
Dongfang Qi said as he killed the puppets in front of him, "These puppets must be the secret weapon that allowed Guifang to be invincible and annex many small countries!"
Lin Qingyue said, "It's pretty much what I expected. And judging by their attire, they come from different countries. They're probably puppets made from soldiers who died in the wars between Guifang and other countries over the years. It's much easier to make puppets from the dead, and less Flying Corpse Silkworm poison is required."
"How sinister and vicious! This isn't a god, it's clearly a demon—Yueyue, be careful!"
As he spoke, Dongfang Qi used his sword to knock down several puppets that climbed down from the roof and tried to attack Lin Qingyue.
Lin Qingyue was also very annoyed at this moment. In terms of strength, she and Dongfang naturally completely crushed these puppets. But they were too numerous.
The number of puppets they had chopped down was no less than a thousand, and these thousands of tattered corpses were piled up around them. Coupled with the continuous influx of puppets, the space around them was getting smaller and smaller, and soon the two could only fight back to back.
Dongfang Qi said, "We can't go on like this! Our strength can't withstand this kind of depletion. Moreover, if we continue like this, the entire hall will be occupied by puppets! We must capture the leader first. We must find a way to force Zheng Linggui out!"
Lin Qingyue suddenly caught a glimpse of a sword light, attacking from the east from the side.
"From the east, be careful!"
Dongfang Qi was dealing with the puppet in front of him. When he reacted, he saw that Lin Qingyue's umbrella had flown to his side, neutralizing the attack for him.
However, Lin Qingyue herself revealed her weakness and was chopped to the ground by the puppet.
"Yueyue!" Dongfang Qi was furious and watched Lin Qingyue fall down.
