Chapter 509 Guanjiang Estuary

Guanzhou.

Located on the edge of Jambu Continent, it got its name because of the Guanjiang River in the area. Water monsters often come ashore to cause trouble all year round, causing trouble to the people and poor livelihood.

Houses of varying heights are scattered at the foot of Song Mountain. The land is flat and wide, with paths and roads connecting the fields. The sounds of chickens and dogs can be heard. Farmers carry their hoes and return home from the fields, looking contented. Old people at the door play with children. It is a scene of a paradise.

Soon, dark clouds gathered in the sky, as if countless demons were lurking there, and a gloomy atmosphere enveloped the small village.

The children who were playing in front of the house didn't know what was going on. They just saw the dark clouds gathering and shouted happily, "Ergou, it's raining, let's go out and play!"

Just as he finished speaking, he felt a pain at the back of his head, and then he fell to the ground in mid-air. He heard his father curse him viciously, "Get out of here, go back here."

The child was startled and immediately shut up.

Seeing the child was obedient, the middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief, but the back of his head hurt again. He saw the old man at the door slap him and said with disgust: "It's okay to talk, but why do you have to fight? Isn't it just a monster? Go get your weapons."

The middle-aged man was hit and looked resentfully at his father and his son who was overjoyed because his savior had come. He let go of his son and threw him to the ground casually. Then he picked up his weapon, put on his armor, and quickly went back to the center of the village.

Without his armor, he was an ordinary farmer, but with his armor on, he was a member of the Grassroots Army.

At that moment, countless people walked out of the village, wearing armor, holding strong bows, and formed a military formation. Layer upon layer of murderous aura gathered, the military might was overbearing, and the rich energy of qi and blood rushed straight into the sky.

But this rich energy did not scare away the demons as it did in the past. Instead, it made the demons in the dark clouds even more restless. Their pairs of eyes filled with green light looked at the creatures under the clouds with greed, and heavy rain poured down.

"shoot!"

Kang Zhong, the leader of Ji Ren's six generals, appeared in the center of the army. Although he was old, his blood and energy were vigorous and domineering. He was like a ferocious beast. Facing the demons in the sky, he had no fear at all. His order was like thunder from the sky.

In the village, many grass-roots soldiers pulled their bows to their full length and injected all their spiritual power into the bowstrings. Their blood was like dragons, their spiritual power was buzzing, and countless long arrows trembled, turning into streams of light that shot into the sky. The scene was shocking.

In the dark clouds, many demons took action, with gusts of demonic wind and demonic power everywhere. But even so, many water monsters were hit by long arrows and bled on the spot.

As the strongest in the village, Kang Zhong had a firm look in his eyes. He was in the formation, condensing the evil of the military formation. His spiritual power was surging all over his body. He shot out long arrows, and his blood was surging, which was enough to hurt Yuanxian. The monsters on the cloud could not help but show shock. They never thought that there would be such a strong man in such a mortal village.

"Why are you panicking? He's just a half-immortal! With the help of everyone, he can only barely injure a Yuanxian!"

At this moment, a loud shout came.

A monster with a crab head and a human body, three meters tall, stood on the clouds, with a strong murderous aura rolling around him. Looking at the arrow that Kang Zhong shot at him with all his strength, he did not dodge. Instead, he grabbed with his big hand, and with his vast demonic power, he controlled the long arrow and then crushed it with one hand.

When the water monsters saw this scene, they all cheered.

Kang Zhong's expression changed slightly. The monster that came this time was different. It was a fairy!

"Little old man, this military formation is well-coordinated. Kneel down and surrender now. If you teach me this military formation, I will spare your life!" The crab demon looked at Kang Zhong arrogantly.

The man deserves to die, but this formation is good. If you can learn it, you can greatly improve your subordinates.

"You deserve it too!"

The crab monster's answer was Kang Zhong's disdainful contempt and another long arrow.

"court death!"

The crab monster grabbed the arrow again, an angry expression on his face, and said coldly: "Kill!"

Since these idiots don't know how to live or die, just eat them all.

Not only can you complete the tasks of the immortals, but you can also improve your cultivation.

If you can join Jiejiao, it would be a great honor for three lifetimes.

As soon as he finished speaking, the demonic power around the crab monster surged like a vast river, and heavy rain poured down from the sky. The monsters behind him became even more ferocious, and their demonic aura was surging.

Kang Zhong remained expressionless as he simply bent his bow and shot the arrow in one go.

The others also shot arrows, and streaks of light shot out.

When the crab monster saw this, it felt extremely humiliated, and it grabbed with its big hands, and the terrifying demonic power shook down, and the many monsters behind it swarmed forward.

But before their attack landed in the village, a huge barrier appeared in the sky above the village, like an inverted jade bowl, completely transparent, like colored glaze.

The monsters used all their powers to attack the barrier, but it was like rain hitting rock, with no effect at all.

On the contrary, at this time, the grass-roots army seized the opportunity and shot sharp arrows into the sky to kill the demons.

The monsters were shocked and showed a look of disbelief. How could such a powerful barrier exist in such a small place?
The leading crab monster also showed a look of shock in his eyes, and then said fiercely: "Okay, there is actually an array barrier, I want to see how many attacks your barrier can withstand from me!" As soon as the words fell, the crab monster's body was filled with demonic power, and power was surging. Heavy rain fell from the sky again, and the rain was mixed with vast demonic power.

However, Kang Zhong just had a calm expression, without any change, and just shot arrow after arrow. After coming to the fairyland, although he did not receive the cultivation of Yuxu Palace like Ji Ren, the superiority of his mythological Dharma image was fully demonstrated. In just eight years, he went from a human general to a supernatural being. He could see at a glance that the gap in strength between the enemy and us was too great, and they could not win.

But he wasn't panicked at all.

Because Master Huanglong had already set up a barrier here.

For those below the Golden Immortal level, it is wishful thinking to want to break through the barrier.

Ji Ren told them not to leave the barrier unless necessary.

Kang Zhong never compromised on Ji Ren's orders and even exceeded them. It was not that he refused to leave the barrier unless it was necessary, but that he had never allowed anyone to leave the barrier since he settled there.

After all, the area of ​​the barrier is not small.

As for this group of people, the men farm and the women weave, they produce and sell their own products, so even if they don't go out, they won't die.

Give full play to the advantages of small peasant economy.

"Damn it!"

Looking at Kang Zhong's indifferent expression, the crab monster felt that he had suffered a great humiliation. The demonic power in his body rose, and his big palm fell, with the vast demonic power surging. A large amount of rain fell, mixed with the majestic demonic power.

However, no matter how the crab monster used its magic, it could not shake the barrier at all. On the contrary, Kang Zhong's bow and arrows seemed to be inexhaustible and kept shooting. Although it could not hurt the crab monster at all, the other water monsters were mostly killed by its sharp arrows.

When the crab monster saw this scene, he became even more furious. He came here with a mission to destroy the village. He thought it was a sure thing, but he never expected such a mistake to occur. If he couldn't take it down, how would he explain himself when he returned?
Thinking of this, the crab demon became even more anxious. The powerful demonic power surged in his hands. Dark clouds continued to gather in the sky, and heavy rain poured down from the sky. The Guanjiang River was like a mad dragon. The rivers were surging, submerging the villages and land, and rushing straight towards the barrier. Along the way, countless people were affected, their homes were destroyed, and they were heartbroken and fled for their lives.

Kang Zhong's expression changed when he saw this scene. He looked at the crab monster and said, "You actually secretly opened the river to fill the water? Aren't you afraid of karma?"

"What am I afraid of? I am not like you hypocritical humans who follow the so-called cause and effect of merit. I am a demon. Cultivation is the way of heaven. The strong prey on the weak, and being weak is their crime! If we really have to talk about sin, then the sin is yours, because if you died, none of this would have happened. So all the sins today are on you!" The crab demon laughed.

"Nonsense. Within the Three Realms, the immortal path is respected, and to cultivate the immortal path, no matter what race one belongs to, one must cultivate merit and understand cause and effect. To indulge in one's nature and do evil is to be a demon. Throughout history, if a demon does not return to the immortal path, he will have no good end!" Kang Zhong sneered.

"How do you know that I can't become an immortal?"

The crab monster sneered repeatedly, unleashing all his demonic power, calling the wind and rain, causing the flood to surge, with no regard for the innocent people trying to survive in the flood.

Of course he knew that being a demon did not have a good future, but he also knew that one could become an immortal even without merit.

The Jiejiao in the East China Sea and the Buddhist sect in the West.

It’s okay.

"I said."

Kang Zhong did not answer, and a cold voice suddenly sounded in the air.

When Kang Zhong heard the voice, he was overjoyed and even put down the longbow in his hand.

The crab monster was shocked, and the next moment, he felt that Guan Jiang was beyond his control. His face was full of shock. How could it be possible?

The water god of Guanjiang is dead. Is there anyone who can compete with him for the control of Guanjiang?

The next moment, two figures, a man and a woman, appeared above Guanjiang River at the same time. The man was handsome and the woman was heroic. Anyone who saw them would sigh that they were a perfect match.

Just seeing these two people appear, the crab monster was frightened and immediately turned and left, turning into a stream of light and escaping. The other water monsters were unable to react in time and were forced to stay.

The next moment, there was a horrifying flash of lightning, and they were killed on the spot, revealing their true forms, and falling to the ground like dumplings.

"Uncle Kang, we have extra food tonight. It's all top-quality monster meat and supplements."

Jiren said.

"Thank you, General."

Kang Zhong and the other grass-roots soldiers thanked in unison in loud and clear voices.

"I'll leave it to you, my water god. Next, I'll go kill people." Ji Ren said to Guan Yan, then turned and left.

Guan Yan did not follow, but just looked at the devastation in Guanzhou after the flood, the destroyed homes and the displaced people. A solemn look appeared on her face. From now on, these people would be handed over to her to govern.
