Chapter 171 - Ordinary Battle Mode (1/2)

Four streams of water shuttled through the chaotic city in the deep sea. They pa.s.sed by the seahorses’ home, pa.s.sed through Starfish Avenue, and headed straight for the place where Ao Yi was trapped.

The entire city had already turned into a “pot of seafood porridge”.

The experts from both sides were pulling each other. The strongest dragon-headed elder on Ao Yi’s side was being attacked by more than ten Sea Clan experts…

The merman race kept asking for help, but the city was completely isolated and they had lost contact with the outside world.

However, it did not matter…

The two steady “experts” from the Ren School were already there. They would not let anything happen to Ao Yi.

The Great Daoist Master Xuan Du was a true expert in the world. He was one of the few subordinates of the Saint. He could even activate the Taiji Painting, the paG.o.da, and other treasures at any time. Not to mention suppressing the place, he could even suppress the entire merman race.

At that moment, Li Changshou was being pulled by the Great Daoist Master to be a laborer. He had his own plans in mind…

Although he had only adapted to impromptu changes this time, he had already thought of a more comprehensive plan. He could achieve the effect of killing three or four birds with one stone and push for a small step forward in the progress of the dragon race’s entry to heaven.

At that moment, Li Changshou was standing in the courtyard. He closed his eyes and focused, controlling the four paper effigies.

Great Daoist Master Xuan Du watched with interest. He wanted to see how Li Changshou would destroy his enemy.

However, Master Xuan Du was delighted as he watched.

The four paper effigies used their Water Escape techniques to approach Ao Yi. They did not alarm anyone from both sides. At that moment, there were thirty to forty guards around Ao Yi. The Golden Immortal realm experts were fighting in the vicinity of the palace, and the Sea Clan guards around Ao Yi were at most at the mid-stage of the Heaven Immortal realm. On the other hand, there were more than ten Heaven Immortals and more than fifty Perfected Immortals surrounding Ao Yi, all of whom were rebels.

Li Changshou discovered that there were a few Heaven Immortals in the rebel army who had strange auras. They were somewhat similar to the Blood Mosquito puppets back then.

Daoist Wen should be hiding in the dark and watching this scene secretly…

How do I let her find out that the Great Daoist Master is here?

He did not know if the Great Daoist Master would be able to find Daoist Wen’s traces and directly kill her in order to be safe.

Li Changshou did not need to spend too much time and effort to help Ao Yi out. An ordinary paper effigy tactic would be enough.

The four paper effigies appeared outside the encirclement. Their sleeves swayed and they released… another batch of sixteen paper effigies… The Great Daoist Master Xuan Du was overjoyed. He scolded jokingly, “The paper effigies released more paper effigies. There are so many paper effigies! You are really interesting.”

Li Changshou turned his head and smiled “shyly”. For now, he would treat it as a compliment from the Great Daoist Master for his paper doll technique. The sixteen original paper effigies charged towards the back of the rebels and hugged the Heavenly Immortal realm experts quickly. Before they could react, they self-destructed and released poisonous fog!

In an instant, a turbid ma.s.s of fog appeared in the seawater!

The remaining four paper effigies shuttled left and right.

The swords and flutes in their hands were not actually swords and flutes. The tobacco pipes in their hands were not tobacco pipes either. The cleavers in their hands were not cleavers either…

They were all Dharma artifacts that could release poison!

Li Changshou took two years to refine them. The poisonous pills that were worth more than six superior Immortal Treasures were released in the blink of an eye!

What the four paper effigies had to do was to fully control the direction of the poisonous fog and poisonous powder.

After a while, the hundreds of rebels that surrounded Ao Yi and the others collapsed to the ground.

Most of them did not even have the time to turn around to look at the person who had ambushed them. Their essence souls had been infected by the poison.

The paper effigy who looked like an old woman shouted, “Those who protect His Highness Ao Yi, don’t act rashly! If I poison you, I don’t have any antidotes!”

The experts from the Sea Clan who were protecting Ao Yi were silent. They huddled around Ao Yi.

The four paper effigies moved at the same time—that was because Li Changshou wanted to save some effort.

They each released their own Dharma treasures and retrieved the seawater that was mixed with poisonous powder. They could use it again later.

After that, the four paper effigies released eight Soul-Bewitching Pearls and rapidly absorbed the remnant souls in the battlefield. They also scattered the fire seeds of the True Samadhi Flames.

The seawater there had only weakened the power of the True Samadhi Flames slightly. It was still very easy to burn these corpses.

As the flames surged, the four paper effigies each released three paper effigies and transformed into twelve benevolent-looking Daoists.

They each held onto a wooden fish, the Soul-Suppressing Bell, and a wooden clapper. They knocked the items while in the surroundings. They chanted the Salvation Sutra, the Reincarnation Incantation, and the Disaster-Dispelling Incantation.

A group of Sea Clan experts looked at each other. Ao Yi was also stunned…

It was the first time they had seen such a scene. They clearly felt that their knowledge was shallow. They were like fish that were watching the sky in a well. Today, they saw a new world…

“Fellow Daoists, who are you?” “Why are you helping us?”

“They should be humans. They… are very particular! After killing the enemy, they even dealt with the corpse directly. They even recited the incantations and did an expiation ritual!”

“We can’t learn it, we can’t.”

The corpses were quickly devoured by the True Samadhi Flames. The ashes of the corpses were sent flying by the four paper effigies and dissolved in the seawater.

In his next life, they would be good fishes.

Then, the four paper effigies turned around and retreated.

The entire process happened very quickly. The Sea Clan soldiers around Ao Yi were not the only ones who were stunned. Great Daoist Master Xuan Du sighed softly as he watched from the side.

How could the Man-Forming Paper Cutouts of the Dao Sect’s thirty-six mystical abilities be used like this?

Ao Yi hugged the mermaid princess and shouted at the four paper effigies, “Seniors, please hold on. Let me thank you!”

The old woman turned around and smiled.

“We have come under His Majesty’s orders to help His Highness escape. There’s no need to thank me.”

After saying that, she turned around and left without stopping.

The four paper effigies did not go far. They turned into four streams of water and found a residence of the Sea Clan in the chaotic battlefield. They hid in it and waited to be activated again.

A large group of rebels was still surrounding Ao Yi. The Sea Clan soldiers were attacking everywhere, and Ao Yi and the others were also moving…

If the paper effigy had continued to protect Ao Yi, it would have also been surrounded and lost control of the situation.

Continuing to hide and surround the enemy was the only way to kill the enemy effectively.

Li Changshou quickly counted the paper effigy’s losses.

20% of poisonous pills and 20% of its immortal power were depleted. The four Dharma artifacts could not be used for the time being. They were needed for replenis.h.i.+ng the poison.

Overall, the results were not bad.

In the courtyard, Li Changshou opened his eyes and bowed to the Great Daoist Master before standing behind him again.

The Great Daoist Master Xuan Du was still reminiscing…

The Great Daoist Master could understand what Li Changshou had instructed the paper effigies to do. It was nothing more than a method to deal with remnant souls.
