222: Collapse of enemies
One day... two days... three days... The Incense Faction of Lotus Leaf Temple became increasingly prosperous.
ManyExpert silently entered Lotus Leaf Temple.
In the underground secret chamber of Lotus Leaf Temple, they emulated the Child-Giving Buddha, providing children to female benefactors.
They were surprisingly enjoying this simple life.
The Cui Family and other Noble families were also deploying their forces.
They all knew that the time for slaughter was approaching.
They even knew how many crossbows, rockets, and how much fierce fire oil Lead Big Brother and others had prepared.
"These young people are truly ruthless, preparing such a great killing machine."
"It is said that they prepared three to five tons of fierce fire oil alone."
"Crossbows were countless."
"This weapon equipment could wipe out a small county."
Someone shook his head and said, "No, there are too few experts."
"They are no match for Lotus Leaf Temple."
"Ultimately, we will have to make a Move."
The Crowd waited.
They all speculated when the Martial Academy students would act.
The students, however, looked bewildered.
They did not know when to act.
Everyone was waiting for Chu Qing's command.
Chu Qing was waiting.
He was waiting for the wind and snow.
He stood in the small forest, practicing Moves with Nangong.
"I am waiting for the wind and snow."
"Wind and snow are good for killing."
Nangong smiled and said, "Actually, you can kill anytime."
"You don't necessarily have to wait for the wind and snow."
Chu Qing shook his head.
It was different.
Too many people would die this time.
If the wind and snow weren't strong enough, the corpses would rot, and cleaning them up would be a bit troublesome.
One day remained until the assessment:
On this day:
Goose-feather snow fell from the sky.
The north wind swept through.
Chu Qing smiled.
Nangong began to pack his weapons.
Lead Big Brother and others called everyone to eat and drink.
Lotus Leaf Temple:
The Abbot said, "Prepare beef and mutton, prepare Secret medicine, and let everyone eat their fill."
"Tonight, there will definitely be a fierce battle."
"Yes!"
Cui Family:
Masked experts gathered one by one.
"Wind and snow are good for killing!"
"Those Martial Academy students are waiting for the wind and snow."
"Coincidentally, this wind and snow can also cover our tracks!"
The Crowd nodded in agreement.
Shiyu Royal Mansion:
The Prince was enjoying the snow and the winter plum blossoms.
Maids, dressed in ragged clothes, served as screens to shield him from the wind and snow.
The Prince broke off a plum branch and whispered:
"Are those people from the Cui Family ready?"
In the darkness, someone whispered, "Yes!"
"They will act after the Martial Academy students fail."
The Prince sneered, "After those people from the Cui Family make their Move, have our people Move as well."
"This time, we must annihilate all of them."
"As you command!"
Worldly Affairs:
Assassins organized fifteen thousand ragged men, armed with broken machetes. After drinking a small bottle of strong liquor and eating a large amount of beef and mutton, they braved the wind and snow and headed straight for Lotus Leaf Temple.
Martial Academy:
Lead Big Brother, leading several hundred people, also marched grandly towards Lotus Leaf Temple.
Madam Shi wore a white robe.
Her long hair draped over her shoulders, and snowflakes landing on her instantly burst, turning into countless misty snow.
Chu Qing and Nangong stared intently at her.
Madam Shi looked down, examining herself, and said coldly, "I have a problem."
Chu Qing coughed and said, "You're wearing white, aren't you afraid of getting blood on it?"
Madam Shi smiled and said, "I go in white, and I return in white; no blood, and no blood allowed!"
Whoosh!
Madam Shi walked on the snow.
Chu Qing and Nangong also rushed away.
On the way, Nangong felt the wind and snow hitting her cheeks and smiled, "The three of us all have dragon tendons."
"If we can't deal with Lotus Leaf Temple this time, we might as well go back to the countryside and live a peaceful life."
Chu Qing smiled and said, "Tonight, I want to dye the white snow red with blood!"
"I want Lotus Leaf Temple to become history!"
"And... the families of certain people!"
Nangong's eyes lit up.
She loved Chu Qing's Killing Intent-filled look... One hour later:
In Lotus Leaf Temple, the monks, who had been happily eating and drinking, now had solemn expressions.
Because:
News had arrived:
"At least ten thousand cannon fodder are coming."
Many monks were bewildered.
Why would so much cannon fodder come to an expert's decisive battle?
"Even if we stood there motionless, they wouldn't be able to kill us, right!"
However:
When over ten thousand people, spread across the mountains and fields, numbly and mechanically arrived at Lotus Leaf Temple, the monks' hearts grew even heavier.
The assassins from Worldly Affairs blew their whistles.
Then:
This group of cannon fodder let out a roar and charged towards Lotus Leaf Temple in a mighty surge.
Boom!
The walls collapsed.
The main gate was pushed down.
Over ten thousand people, from all directions, rushed into Lotus Leaf Temple.
At this moment:
The monks of Lotus Leaf Temple were enraged.
"Kill!"
A great monk's hands flew.
The heads of the cannon fodder exploded one by one.
A monk wielded an iron staff, and with one strike, bones were broken and tendons snapped.
The cannon fodder found it difficult to advance an inch.
However:
They still rushed forward, vying with each other.
The Abbot's expression was solemn, and he exclaimed, "Are those students crazy?"
"Do they want all these ten thousand people to die here?"
"Quick, find a way to intimidate them."
"Make them leave!"
"Don't kill them."
However:
It was too late.
The order this group of cannon fodder received was: charge! Charge! Charge again!
They didn't need to fight.
They just needed to rush into Lotus Leaf Temple.
Whether they rushed into rooms or anywhere else, as long as they didn't leave Lotus Leaf Temple, it was fine.
The monks of Lotus Leaf Temple felt uncomfortable.
This method of attack was too disgusting.
They tried to intimidate the cannon fodder.
But this group of cannon fodder didn't care at all.
One or two gold was their payment for risking their lives.
If they fled, Worldly Affairs would not let them go either.
At that time, their families would also be implicated.
So:
Not a single cannon fodder fled.
The Cui Family and others were bewildered.
Tens of thousands of people, spread across the mountains and fields, attacked Lotus Leaf Temple.
"How big is this Lotus Leaf Temple?"
"If they all die inside, I'm afraid Lotus Leaf Temple will be a meter taller."
"This method is truly ruthless!"
Tens of thousands of people dying.
Without a natural disaster, it was a man-made calamity.
Even with the Emperor's star currently unstable, it would reach the Heavenly Court.
Even the entire Zhou City would be shaken by this.
The Cui Family Patriarch pondered for a moment and began to write a letter.
He wrote that Lotus Leaf Temple acted arrogantly, committed heinous crimes, killed tens of thousands of people, and performed mysterious rituals.
As for whether Lotus Leaf Temple actually did it, it was no longer important.
What was important was to make the Big Shots in the Imperial Capital believe that he did it.
The Zhou City Lord sighed.
He said to his butler, "Pack all the gold, silver, and valuables and send them to my hometown."
"Contact the merchants and have them pay ten years of taxes in advance."
"We're ready to flee at any moment."
...Shiyu Royal Mansion:
After receiving the news, the Prince's head buzzed.
It's over!
If Lotus Leaf Temple killed too many people, it definitely couldn't be covered up.
At that time, even if Lotus Leaf Temple annihilated the Martial Academy students, it would still be finished.
And he himself... would also be implicated.
"Damn it... Do I have to ask the Princess to use her connections?"
The Prince had a headache.
"When did the Martial Academy students become so ruthless?"
"When did their methods become so terrifying?"
"Using the lives of tens of thousands of people to strike at their opponents?"
"This is absolutely the work of a madman."
"This is Zhou City!"
"It's not some remote county."
"How can they mess around like this?"
As soon as they clashed, many people were caught off guard by Chu Qing's methods.
Even those who knew the inside story had their minds collapse.
