Chapter 0833 The Perfect Giant
There is usually a point in a war. Before that, there are rules to follow whether attacking or defending. The enemy and we are like brothers fighting each other. You kick me and I punch you in return. In the process, your physical strength gradually decreases and your mood decreases. Slowly getting worse, one accident after another quietly accumulates, and finally, the point is reached, chaos replaces order, instinct replaces reason, and the commander who is most prepared in advance can only place his hope on accidents at this time.
Accidents are sometimes called miracles.
Xin Youtao felt that the point of this war was coming. The Shengfu Dynasty and the Sheshen Kingdom had sent out most of their soldiers. The battlefield area was getting larger and larger, and the situation was becoming more and more unpredictable. Too many spells and sorcery were covering the world. Even the third eye cannot penetrate it. Countless eagle eye flying talismans are flying in the air like snowflakes, but the news they bring back becomes more and more contradictory.
He was about to have no troops to send, and the surrounding talisman masters were about to have no talismans to sacrifice. In just two hours and one morning, the talismans that the Holy Talisman Dynasty had stored for many years were almost consumed. It was not that Long Binhui was not fully prepared. On the night when the Imperial Capital was destroyed, a large amount of inventory was burned to ashes by the demon fire, and the damage caused could not be made up for hundreds of years.
The talisman masters began to look frightened. They were all elites of the Longbin Society and relied more heavily on talismans. No amount of idols could fill the void of confidence. They frequently looked back and saw that the entire Holy Talisman Dynasty had only the last viable force left. The seven thousand monks wearing the armor of the Mystic Talisman Army were still standing motionless.
Xin Youtao did not look back. He knew that at this moment, everything he said and did would be magnified. A hesitant order or a casual turn of the head might be regarded as cowardice, and then stir up despair in everyone's hearts.
He stood like a statue, listening to the news the herald received from the Eagle Eye Flying Talisman. He made his own judgment on the contradictions in it. From time to time, he issued an order that might never be transmitted, showing that he was still there. He was in control of the battlefield situation. In fact, he knew very well that the battle was like a wild horse running wild and was not under anyone's control.
He is like this, and so is the King of Sacrifice opposite him.
Standing alone in the crowd, Xin Youtao understood her sister's words more deeply than ever before, "Those who have power must be responsible for power. Those are the most difficult decisions to make, those that may make you famous or infamy for thousands of years." , it must be done by us, so that hope can be left to others.
Xin Youtao had to make his own decision. His thoughts were not at all on the talisman master, the herald, the various paper talismans, or even on the battlefield itself. His eyes and ears captured every detail in order to figure out what King Sacrifice would do next.
"Lord You Bi, we only have enough talismans to launch another attack." An old talisman master with white hair and beard stepped forward and reminded carefully, "Is it time to let the monk army take the field?"
"Don't worry. Our talismans are about to be used up, and the magician who sacrifices his life is at the end of his game. Look, the dark clouds in the sky are beginning to dissipate."
The old talisman master looked blankly. The battlefield was filled with smoke and fire, and explosions and shouts were mixed together. The battle seemed to be happening hundreds of miles away, but also seemed to be close by. If a group of beast monsters suddenly burst out of the smoke, He wasn't surprised at all.
"But..." The old talisman master couldn't understand where Master Youbi's confidence came from.
"King Saishen said that there were no demons involved in this decisive battle, but he still had to do things for the demons." Xin Youtao seemed to be talking to himself rather than telling anyone. In order to speculate on King Sacrifice's every move, he collected information in advance A large amount of intelligence was used to draw a conclusion, "This battle is a physical sacrifice of unprecedented scale to King Saishen. He is waiting for the opportunity to activate the magic circle."
"Didn't we eradicate all the demon trees before the war?"
"The demon tree is another formation that has nothing to do with the physical sacrifice." Xin Youtao took the time to listen to several reports from the herald and issued a simple order. Then he continued to say to the old talisman master, "Hurry, King Sheshen is about to urge you. Let’s perform the physical sacrifice. This battle will determine the winner. Prepare your last talisman.”
Rather than believing in Lord Youbi's words, the old Talisman Master gained a little confidence from his calm temperament. He returned to his original position and conveyed the order to all the Talisman Masters.
Everyone waited quietly, with the remaining offensive talisman in their right hand and the "last talisman" in their left hand. These talismans were all written in the past few days, but no one knew its specific effects.
Lord Youbi pinned his hopes on the statues, which made many Talisman masters feel uneasy. They also hung statues on their chests and recognized the faith and unity they brought. However, going one step further, they expected these dead objects to really affect the battle. As a result, it becomes difficult for them to accept it.
At this point, no one has a better idea, and the talisman masters can only place their hopes on Master Youbi. At least he seems to be more determined than anyone else.
The old Fu Lu Master's worst expectation came true. A huge Zhenshan Ox, covered in blood, but it did not affect its running speed at all, carried several demon soldiers and rushed over from the smoke. It was only a hundred steps away from the Fu Lu Master's position. No one knows how it managed to survive so many spells. In fact, no one knows what other spells are in effect.
Thirty Qilin soldiers immediately rushed forward. They were all Xin Youtao's guards. Their mounts were all real Qilin, and the spears in their hands were all blessed with the best talismans.
A mountain shaking cow is not scary, but it shows one thing. The battlefield is completely out of control, and it will continue to expand until everyone is involved.
Xin Youtao turned around for the first time and saw his expectant eyes at a glance.
It was when they were making plans before the war, Xin Youtao said to Xiao Qingtao: "I really wish I were Mu Xingqiu, I could rush into the group of demon soldiers, slash with a big sword, whip with lightning, stir up emotions with illusions, and turn the tide of the battle by myself."
In addition to Xiao Qingtao, he would never say such words to anyone else, including his sister Queen Xun.
Xiao Qingtao showed a smile that could melt ice and snow, and such a smile would not be revealed in front of others, "You are Xin Youtao, you win in your own way. If you want to learn from Xiaoqiu, learn his spirit of never giving up."
Xin Youtao did not give up.
Xiao Qingtao didn't either. She nodded, turned around and flew towards the seven thousand cultivators nearby. She stopped in mid-air and said loudly: "The fire of Tao will not go out. Even if the Taoism retreats, even if there are no pure Taoists in the world, the fire of Tao will still exist. Build a formation."
The largest formation of the Fish Dragon Formation since its birth was formed. The giant was more than fifty feet tall, covered with black armor, and had a well-proportioned body without a trace of bloating. Even Lan Binghu, who created this formation, would be surprised by the perfection of the formation when he saw the giant with his own eyes.
This is the result of three years of cultivation.
After re-cultivating the inner elixir, Xiao Qingtao also became a casual cultivator, but she missed the pure inner elixir of the Taoists, and felt that only by getting closer to the Taoism could she gain more powerful strength, which was impossible for her to do by herself, so she remembered the Fish Dragon Formation, which Lan Binghu's cultivator group had used to obtain the power closest to the Taoism.
Mu Xingqiu and Xiaohao had also formed a formation, but each time they were very hasty and the shape was not perfect, more like a giant monster than a Taoist. Xiao Qingtao herself had joined the Fish-Dragon Formation, but she didn't know much about the entire method. She got a lot of pointers from Xiaohao through letters, but it still didn't work. Xiaohao's formation was from Mu Xingqiu, and it was incomplete. She had to rely on the mind illusion to form the formation.
Xiao Qingtao didn't know the mind illusion, and it was too late to practice it. She didn't give up. She summoned the Lian Haishan monks of the past, worked together, and pieced together Lan Binghu's method bit by bit. The giant was finally able to take shape, but there were many loopholes.
The Fish-Dragon Formation was not Lan Binghu's original creation. It relied on a variety of Taoist formations. Xiao Qingtao wrote to Yang Qingyin again, asking her to ask for any memory of the formation from the Taoists. With the help of a little bit of Shang, Xiao Qingtao gradually perfected the formation and was able to form a nearly perfect giant body. The inner elixir she possessed was very close to the seventh level of the Taoist Starfall.
Lan Binghu back then couldn't imagine that the Fish-Dragon Formation could reach such a height, and he would not allow the giant to be stronger than himself.
"The fire of Tao will not go out." The giant of Xiao Qingtao's Fish Dragon Formation is the most qualified to say these four words.
The talisman masters turned around one after another. The new Fish Dragon Formation will be composed of 7,000 people. It is impossible to keep it secret, but it has never received much attention. Therefore, when everyone saw the giant, they were all surprised.
Xin Youtao said to the remaining thousands of soldiers and 3,000 elite talisman masters: "The flesh sacrifice will not be limited to the battlefield, it will cover the entire Fuhai City, so everyone will participate in the battle. My command ends here. From now on, you must obey the orders of Queen Xun. She will tell you when to sacrifice the last talisman."
The giant aroused everyone's confidence again. Hearing that Lord Youbi's command ended here, the soldiers and talisman masters were very surprised and looked at him blankly, not knowing why.
"I am very happy to fight side by side with you. I am not only a commander, but also a warrior. It is time for me to contribute. Humanity will win. Please believe this. When the flesh sacrifice begins, faith will be very useful."
"Humanity will win!" The Qilin soldiers shouted in unison. They had just killed the Zhenshan Bull that rushed over, and their blood was burning.
"Humanity will win!" More and more voices joined in. The white-haired old talisman master spitted and trembled with excitement.
Xin Youtao flew towards the giant. When passing the high platform, he smiled at his sister.
He did not integrate into the formation, but stood on the giant's shoulder. He could not detect any breath of Xiao Qingtao, which proved that the formation was very successful. The giant cast a spell and took him up high until his eyes passed the smoke covering the battlefield and saw the huge demon body of the self-sacrificing king.
The self-sacrificing king, who was dozens of feet tall, opened his arms and challenged the giant of the fish dragon formation.
On the high platform, Queen Xun's voice was transmitted to the sky above the talisman masters' positions through magic, "Open the way for the monks."
Three thousand talisman masters sacrificed the talismans in their right hands. Now, all of them only had the last talisman in their left hands.
Queen Xun watched the giant's figure disappear in the smoke, and looked down at the black jade statue in her hand. Xin Youtao had arranged everything. She only needed to wait until the statue glowed again before she could order the talisman to be sacrificed.
She once asked her brother what the chances of winning were. Xin Youtao told her: "There is no chance of winning this war. I will do my best."
She knew what this answer meant. The royal family should sacrifice their lives for the country when necessary. This was the concept she instilled in her brother, but now it made her heart ache. There were moments when she was willing to exchange the future of the entire human race for her brother's life.
It was too late for everything. Her brother had entered the battlefield without looking back, without looking back at her.
She stared at the black jade statue and suddenly noticed a shadow flash across it. She raised her head in surprise and saw a large black bird circling in the air.
