Journey to the West: From the Primordial Era

Chapter 177: The Brutal Enemy Ma Yuan

"Big Brother, retreat quickly!"

Lei He and Lei Yan, who had not yet joined the battle in the Qingzhou army, were also horrified and shouted. Lei He even rushed out to cover his brother's retreat.

However, Ma Yuan regarded all three of them as good materials for practicing martial arts, so how could he allow Lei Shan to leave?

Swish!

The magic hand behind Ma Yuan's head moved and flew out suddenly, breaking through the void directly, capturing Lei Shan who was about to escape, and then threw him heavily in front.

When the divine hand captured Lei Shan, the Nine Yin cold energy had already penetrated his soul and body, making Lei Shan unable to move at all.

Hahaha!

Ma Yuan laughed loudly, took a step forward, and stretched out his right hand. Blood splattered and he directly tore Lei Shan's chest and took out the red heart.

He opened his mouth and swallowed the heart!

Seeing this scene, whether it was Qingzhou Hou Xuanzong, Li Jing and others, or Dong Lu's Jiang Huanchu and Jiang's generals, they all felt a chill in their hearts, and an indescribable fear surged in their hearts.

As the saying goes, when a rabbit dies, the fox mourns its own death. Ma Yuan is too cruel to eat human hearts raw. He treats humans like livestock.

"Big Brother!"

When Lei He saw the miserable state of his senior brother, he was so furious that he used his thunder magic without any care, wanting to risk his own life to make Ma Yuan pay.

"There is still one!"

Ma Yuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, chuckled, and the magic hand behind his head flew out again, like a strong man capturing a child, and directly caught Lei He in his hand.

He cut open Lei He's heart again and swallowed it.

The hot blood rushed into his body, making Ma Yuan's face even redder. He couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"My Lord, this Immortal Master Ma Yuan's methods are too cruel. He devoured people's hearts in public. It's chilling. If this continues, the morale of our army will definitely be affected!"

In the Donglu army formation, a general named Jiang approached Jiang Huanchu slightly and spoke softly.

After seeing Ma Yuan devouring people's hearts, the soldiers and generals of both Donglu and Qingzhou were filled with fear. The morale of both sides dropped at the same time.

In the barbarian lands, there are many ignorant savage tribes. When there is no food, many of them choose to eat people. If these cannibalistic savages are seen by human generals, they will definitely be wiped out.

Ma Yuan's act of eating people's hearts alive is not as good as the cannibalism of barbarians.

The difference is that Ma Yuan stood openly in front of the two armies and devoured people's hearts, which was too shocking.

In addition, Ma Yuan was at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm, close to the strength of the Taiyi Golden Immortal, and was extremely powerful. No one on either side could stop him except Qingzhou Hou Xuanzong. It was like two groups of sheep facing each other, and suddenly one of them invited a hungry wolf to help.

No matter which side it is, there is a possibility of being swallowed.

Generally speaking, cannibalism is not scary. What is scary is that cannibals have unstoppable power and treat everyone as ants. There is no way to resist.

"It doesn't matter... Immortal Ma Yuan has killed two generals of Qingzhou in a row. The morale of the Qingzhou army will only be lower. As long as we can defeat the Qingzhou army, eating people's hearts alive is just a small matter!"

Jiang Huanchu was silent for a moment, then said lightly.

He knew that Ma Yuan's act of eating people's hearts in public was seen by a dozen princes on the chariot, and his reputation would definitely be even worse.

If his son Jiang Wenhuan were still alive, he would definitely maintain his own image and reputation for the future of Dong Lu so that Jiang Wenhuan could succeed to the throne smoothly in the future.

But now, his son is gone, what is the point of him having such a good reputation?

He is now like an old extinct family with no direct bloodline inheritance. Even many people within the Jiang family have begun to become unstable and want to compete for the position of the next Duke of Dongbo.

The Jiang family also has some immortal supreme elders and ancestors who are in seclusion, and there are also Golden Immortals at the highest level, but they are just in charge of the clan.

Bloodline is the ribbon of human inheritance. If a person's bloodline is cut off, even the leader of the princes like Dong Bohou will not be able to suppress the situation in Donglu. In addition, if the ancestors do not come out, they will not be able to support him.

This was one of the reasons why Jiang Huanchu went all out to conquer Qingzhou. In addition to avenging his son, he also wanted to use his military might and the prestige of a great victory to intimidate the Jiang clan.

To him, as long as Ma Yuan could help him defeat Qingzhou, what did it matter if he won the hearts of a few people?

The general of the Jiang family who was advising nearby looked at the dozen or so pale-faced princes on the chariot, as well as the somewhat frightened soldiers. He moved his lips slightly, sighed secretly, and finally said nothing more.

"Ma Yuan, you are so violent, you are simply not worthy of being a human being..."

The three Lei brothers from Liubo Island had just come down the mountain and killed a demon king and made a small contribution, but then they lost two people in succession and served as cannon fodder in the early stage of the catastrophe.

Only Lei Yan was left. There were no harsh curse words in this era. Even if they were verbal attacks, they were all about being unworthy of being a human being and the moon was not full.

With Ma Yuan's personality, he would just ignore these words and would not get angry about them at all.

Lei Yan yelled and cursed angrily, and wanted to rush out to live and die with his two brothers, but Li Jing reacted at this time and stopped him directly, preventing him from continuing to send them off.

"Marquis Qingzhou, apart from you, there is no late Golden Immortal by your side. My fighting power is comparable to that of Taiyi Golden Immortal. I don't believe you will kill me. I advise you kindly to gather your troops and surrender now. Your men can be spared from being slaughtered. If you continue to resist, don't blame me for being ruthless to your Qingzhou army!"

After Ma Yuan swallowed the two hearts, his gaze did not stay on Lei Yan for a moment, but turned and fell on Qingzhou Hou Xuanzong and Li Jing. When looking at Qingzhou Hou, he seemed to pay special attention to him. He would definitely not seek death and provoke Qingzhou Hou, but now is the Conferred God Tribulation. During the tribulation, Qingzhou Hou, as the commander-in-chief, would definitely not dare to act rashly.

"My Lord, this Ma Yuan has great magical powers, powerful abilities, and brutal methods. In my opinion, no one in the Qingzhou army can match him except you!"

"The catastrophe has arrived. Don't act on impulse. Ma Yuan is a man with deep karma. If you kill him, his karma will be transferred to you. It is better to retreat temporarily and hold the camp tightly. Maybe you can resist the Donglu army!"

Li Jing stepped forward, frowned, and gave advice in a low voice.

Qingzhou Hou Xuanzong's face looked a little ugly and angry at this time. The two generals under his command were killed by the enemy, and the enemy was so arrogant that they simply treated Qingzhou's hundreds of thousands of troops as nothing.

He wished he could take action himself and crush the figure into pulp.

It’s a pity that, as Li Jing said, after the Taiyi Golden Immortal master took action and killed him, his karma would deepen. How would he then break through to become a Daluo Golden Immortal?

This feeling of powerlessness made Xuanzong want to explode but he couldn't.

"Ugh!"

In the end, all the emotions can only be condensed into a long sigh.

Xuanzong waved his whip and was about to accept Li Jing's advice to arrange for the army to retreat. He did not care even if there was a risk of the entire army being defeated by the army of Dong Lu during the retreat.

Yang Jiao, Guo Chen and others looked at each other in silence. Although they were confident in their own bravery, they were not arrogant. Facing the combat power of Taiyi Jinxian, they were no match for the Jinxian.

Since we are no match for them, we can only retreat!

"General Li Jing, don't worry! Before my father left, he gave me a talisman. My father and I cannot attack him, but if you can get a magic weapon, you can also defeat him!"

Xuanzong thought for a moment and said lightly.

"What? Are you serious, sir?"

They were shocked and Li Jing quickly confirmed.

"It's a military and national issue. How could I talk nonsense?"

As Xuanzong spoke, he felt a little emotional.

"Okay! Since we have a divine weapon to help us, let's stay!"

Li Jing was also very straightforward and had great trust in Qingzhou Hou Xuanzong.

At this time, Ma Yuan, who had thought that the Qingzhou army would either surrender or flee in panic, saw that although the Qingzhou army formation was somewhat shaken, it was still stable.

Qingzhou Hou Xuanzong turned a deaf ear to his words.

Upon seeing this, Ma Yuan's eyes turned cold and he no longer concealed his cultivation level. An unparalleled aura rose up into the sky, attracting the aura of tens of thousands of miles around.

In the late stage of Golden Immortal, one can connect with a trace of the laws of heaven and earth, and use the vitality of heaven and earth to bless the supernatural powers, so that the power of the supernatural powers can be exerted to the limit.

After entering the realm of Daluo Jinxian, one can transcend the Three Realms, no longer be bound by the Five Elements, achieve immortality, and comprehend the laws of heaven and earth.

"Since you want to die, I will help you!"

Ma Yuan shouted loudly, and the divine hand behind his head rushed up to the sky, connecting with the laws of heaven and earth, and swelled in the wind, turning into a huge palm like a mountain.

Between the palms, there were wind, clouds and lightning.

boom!

A huge palm descended from the sky, and layers of void seemed to be smashed through. Cloudy halos appeared on the edge of the palm, like ripples on the lake after being smashed down.

When the giant hand appeared, the soldiers, princes, and generals of both armies were all stunned, staring blankly at this majestic giant hand that covered the mountains and rivers.

Before the giant palm fell, a tremendous pressure came over. It seemed that it was going to crush all the generals in the Qingzhou army into meat patties across dozens of miles of space.

"Set up the formation!"

At this time, Li Jing let out a long breath, roared suddenly, walked out with his sword in hand, his blood and energy rushing into the sky, and jumped into the army formation belonging to Linzi soldiers.

hum!

Li Jing's aura was connected with the aura of the 200,000-strong army, and his strength was instantly boosted to the peak. His aura surged and actually broke through the limit, almost reaching the aura of a Golden Immortal.

However, with the momentum of an army of 200,000, Li Jing only achieved the ordinary "late Golden Immortal" level.

As for Ma Yuan, he was at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm and only a little bit away from becoming a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Even a full-strength attack from a late Golden Immortal could turn an army of two hundred thousand into dust.

At this moment, in the void thousands of miles away, a rainbow of light was rushing towards the direction of Wulong Mountain...
