Boom! The mighty power of firearms, accompanied by a deafening roar, tore through the divine general's ghostly aura in an instant. Only then did Mou Liti realize that the incantation the opponent was chanting was something he had never heard before.
And the power of these firearms far exceeded his imagination!
At this moment, a brilliant light pierced the foul earth, the void produced whiteness, and fire and thunder raged!
His colossal body spun, sent flying by the firearms. The force of this shot directly penetrated his flesh, tearing a gaping wound in his abdomen, and simultaneously pierced the north and south of this massive casino, completely destroying the passage to the rear hall!
Rolling dust, raging infernos, burning the heavens and scorching the world, igniting all directions!
Mou Liti was rendered immobile for a moment, his entire body convulsing in pain, as if his bones, muscles, and flesh were being torn apart by lightning, leaving him completely numb.
But the barrage of firearms had not stopped. These two crude muzzle-loading guns, empowered by the force of will, had transformed into a rapid-fire cannon. The five firearm barrels rotated automatically with a clattering sound, continuously spewing forth surging gunpowder smoke and intense fire thunder!
The light illuminated the forms and spirits of countless demons and monsters. The divine incantations possessed formidable power, and the fluctuations of magical energy and aura they emitted made it almost impossible to breathe!
"Thunder come! Sword rise!"
The Five-Thunder Talismans and the Demon-Slaying Talismans also flew all over the sky!
"Great Majestic Divine Incantation!"
The Great Majestic Divine Incantation specifically targeted and bombarded those with high cultivation!
At this point, the demon kings who had been watching could no longer sit still. With a few roars, they came to contend with Ji Xiang. Even more insidious individuals had already rushed towards Feng Menglong.
However, a void divine sword descended from the emptiness, and in an instant, it pierced the forehead of the demon king beside Feng Menglong!
The second divine ability of the Ascension Realm, the divine sword takes form!
The scene was chaotic. Feng Menglong, in a moment of inspiration, leaned back, falling to the ground with his chair. The little fox, appearing bewitched, actually picked up Ji Xiang's Fire God's command flag and was about to set fire to the venue!
At this moment, Ji Xiang's firearm flickered, and his minor divine ability activated. He uttered a "Halt!" towards that direction.
Instantly, the little fox's actions were stopped. Several Golden Light Incantations flew out from Ji Xiang's sleeve, and the casino was bathed in brilliance!
Heaven and Earth Xuan Sect, Myriad Qi's Root; Cultivating for countless eons, achieving my divine abilities!
Within and beyond the Three Realms, only the Dao is supreme; My body possesses golden light, covering and reflecting my form!
These Golden Light Incantations all flew to the little fox's side, forming a formation that surrounded the two of them. Any demon or monster that dared to approach would have to forfeit at least half their life!
Throughout the casino, talismans flew wildly, finally causing the demon kings to change their expressions:
"How does he still have talismans!"
Never had they seen a Daoist carry so many talismans. Were they being sold by the pound?
"Is this person so afraid of death!"
Ji Xiang's ears twitched as he heard this strange cry, and he sneered, "Using talismans to kill you all is to avoid dirtying my hands."
As he spoke, a demon king was already plastered with the Great Majestic Divine Incantation. He roared and intended to use his demonic arts to resist the Great Majestic Divine Incantation!
"This king does not believe that a mere piece of paper can kill this king!"
Ji Xiang turned his head, "Don't believe it?"
"Go!"
With Ji Xiang's command, the other talismans hovering around him immediately found their targets. Several more suspended Great Majestic Divine Incantations flew towards him, sticking to his face, chest, arms, and lower body...
Boom!
From his internal organs, bones, muscles, and flesh, everything exploded into ashes!
Seeing this, a demon king, who had intended to charge towards Ji Xiang's position, abruptly halted his advance and retreated rapidly!
Boom!
But Ji Xiang's gun barrel would not give him a chance to escape. With one shot, he was severely wounded!
The Five-Thunder Talisman, used as ammunition, was fired with the effect of heavenly thunder and lightning. Thunder techniques were most effective against demons and monsters. Upon being hit, his arm was scorched, and he fell heavily to the ground, howling in pain!
"Kill him! If we don't kill him, we'll all be struck to death by talismans!"
"These talismans are definitely not his own!"
Six demons surged towards Ji Xiang!
At the same time, the flying night-demons within the casino also attacked. They were extremely numerous, surging like waves, intending to drown Ji Xiang with a tide of demons and stab him to death!
Ji Xiang chanted: "Ten directions of land, clear and pure; like glazed tile, with the moon suspended within."
"Seeing the retribution that attracts evil karma, this seeing karma intersects, and at the time of death, one first sees raging fire, filling the ten directions of the realm. The deceased's spirit descends amidst smoke, entering the Avici Hell!"
In an instant, the magical power of the flying night-demons vanished. Some fell to the ground, others stumbled and were trampled by others, and screams arose as flames of karma ignited their bodies!
These flames of karma would not burn others, only the flying night-demons themselves!
Amidst the screams, fearful words were uttered: "Abhidharma Treasury Manifestation of the True Doctrine!"
There were no longer any who knew that the flying night-demons were restrained by this scripture translated by the Venerable Xuanzang. This was a method of controlling flying night-demons that circulated among Buddhists during the Tang Dynasty. Yet, it was now being used in the Ming Dynasty. These flying night-demons were terrified, their bodies burning with flames of karma, indicating that they had committed numerous evil deeds, and only when they were burned to ashes would the flames of karma cease!
At this moment, Ji Xiang, imitating Lord Fire, roared at the screaming, kneeling, or terrified demons and monsters around him, shaking their souls and spirits, causing all demons in the four directions to tremble:
"As soon as a thought arises, the flames of karma burn fiercely; it is not others who burn you, but you who burn yourselves!"
Ji Xiang exhaled, tucked his two Five-Thunder Divine Machines back into his waist, and directly wielded the Meteor Cannon on his back!
Newly forged in the Twenty-Fifth Year of Wanli by the Bureau of Military Equipment, the Sheng-character Meteor Cannon!
The Meteor Fire Cannon was a heavy personal weapon for single or double-person combat. It had five forms, with the Type Three firearm being about four and a half feet long, and the mother and child cannons weighing a total of thirty-six pounds!
Boom! The single-person cannon swung, spewing forth raging flames and a powerful impact. The muzzle directly slammed into a demon king's face. Ji Xiang chanted an incantation:
"Lord of Fire, Zhu Rong, commands; Tai Yi, Yu Jiang, leads; Thunder strikes the whale's jaws, lightning sweeps the heavenly wolf!"
Divine might of Qian fire, Yin beings cannot withstand!
The power of this cannon was immense, its roar penetrating the entire casino. The flesh, form, and spirit of this demon king were completely pulverized, leaving nothing behind! Smoke filled the air, and the area ahead was scorched earth!
"Not bad for power."
Ji Xiang blew, and the cannon swung horizontally, breaking the arm of a demon, sending it flying!
The improved firearms of the Ming court, due to their relatively backward technology, retained a peculiar ability: after the gunpowder was spent, these cannons and firearms could be swung like maces!
But in Ji Xiang's hands, a cannon half the height of a person could be wielded like a mace, and the head of this mace would emit fire to strike people. It could be used for close combat or ranged attacks, truly an essential artifact for traveling and exterminating demons!
"Mou Liti, your casino is being demolished. If you don't do anything, and you keep lying there, we'll all die, and no one will pay back your gambling debts!"
"This Daoist is like a madman! Run!"
Someone whispered to their companions, intending to slip away amidst the chaos. The casino entrance was already a sea of fire. At this point, the battle of earth immortals had almost lifted the massive casino into the sky. Where could they, low-level cultivators of the sixth or seventh realm, or even the third or fifth realm, possibly intervene!
"Leave? Without my permission, none of you can go anywhere!"
Ji Xiang sneered, and three Great Majestic Divine Incantations directly sealed the exit. Anyone who dared to leave would be instantly blown to death!
Looking at the gaze of those cultivators, Ji Xiang struck the cannon to the ground, pulled open his half-length robe, revealing it to be densely packed with Great Majestic Divine Talismans.
This Daoist's talismans are just a little more numerous, and I usually like to act as a human bomb.
"If anyone is not afraid of death, try to leave... However, if you stay, I will kill you too."
Ji Xiang imposed a dual coercion.
This was precisely to force these petty and self-serving individuals to attack him, so that when he killed them, it would be righteous, acting on behalf of Heaven!
What does it mean to repent and reform? Dying under this Daoist's cannon is true repentance and reform! Some people, upon their death, contribute more than when they were alive!
As expected, hearing that leaving meant death and staying meant waiting for death, these people who had previously dared not fight desperately finally had distorted and ferocious expressions. They each took out their weapons and magical artifacts, including monks, Daoists, scholars, officials, and commoners. From high-ranking court officials to humble commoners, all surged towards Ji Xiang like madmen, as if they had lost their lives!
At the same time, as they gathered, boundless evil energy surged from them!
The Inner Scenery Divine Tablet quickly provided a strategy:
[Flowing Evil Qi: The appearance of evil qi varies; some speak erroneously, some cry and flee, some are mad and confused, some laugh and cry, some are greatly terrified as if being chased, some sing and chant, some refuse to speak!]
[When improper entities gather to cause harm, this flowing evil qi is formed. Flowing evil qi can cause incoming living beings to suffer from illness and disaster. Those tainted by flowing evil qi will have bad luck, and when flowing evil qi evolves into malevolent qi, it can cause spirits to shatter and blood to wither, leading to a drastic drop in cultivation!]
[By using the qi of the North Pole's Four Sacred Deities to activate the "Pure Heaven and Earth Divine Incantation," it can be completely shattered!]
"Good! Very good! If you didn't charge towards this Daoist, if you didn't take the initiative, how could I have a mutual pursuit with you?"
"Now that you have taken the initiative, this Daoist can only show mercy and send you on your way! May you fall into the Fengdu Hell and never be reborn!"
At this moment, three divine general phantoms floated around Ji Xiang, along with Ji Xiang's own white-faced Zhenwu form and spirit, the sacred might of the Four Sacred Deities of the North Pole enveloped this place!
Divine light shone brightly, shocking heaven and earth. Without evil, how could any ghost dare to confront!
Even a million fierce demons, with a single glance of majestic light, all turned to dust!
Ji Xiang chanted the sacred incantation:
"Heaven and Earth are natural, impure qi disperses; the cave is profound and empty, shining with the Great Primordial!"
Among the Eight Divine Incantations, the Pure Heaven and Earth Divine Incantation!
The qi of the Four Sacred Ones surged, combined with the power of the divine incantation, erupting in an instant. Thunder, water, purple clouds, heavenly axes, and divine blades descended, shattering the surging evil qi gathered by these people. All impure and wicked qi was swept away like fallen leaves in a windstorm!
"Disperse!"
With a fierce roar! The images of the Four Sacred Ones faintly appeared on Ji Xiang. Ji Xiang held the cannon, swept it horizontally, and fired again with a roar!
In an instant, among these cultivators, those with low cultivation, or those mortal martial artists, fell to the ground as meat paste! Only those with the Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown could survive with their tenacious life force, but waiting for them was Ji Xiang's second incantation!
Today, not a single one of them would survive!
With the Five-Thunder True Method, heavenly thunder and earth fire engulfed them all, thus killing all the fallen and evil beings, their blood splattering the emperor-bestowed robes!
