n run anywhere!"Mu Zhan's face was full of glee, "Bring me here, strip him naked. Anyone who dares to resist, pierce them with ten thousand arrows!""I'll see who dares!"At the most critical moment, a..."Master, ahead twenty li is the Island Temple."

"Spread the word, advance another fifteen li, then everyone dismount and walk. No sound is to be made!"

"Yes!"

It was now the darkest hour, just before dawn, and at this time Zhang Liyang once again arrived at the foot of the mountain gate of Dao Kong Temple.

Below a pitch-black expanse, only faint flickers of fire could be seen piercing through the darkness.

"Sir! The guards on duty have been dealt with." Yuan Li arrived beside Zhang Liyang, still reeking of the aftertaste of killing and a faint metallic scent.

Although Dāo Kong Temple was a sect, there were guards at the foot of the mountain. However, facing Yuan Li's elite troops, those guards were completely helpless under the sneak attack, not even making a sound.

"Encircle this mountain! Not a single one escapes!"

It's not that Zhang Liyang is cruel and ruthless. After he came out from He Houdé, Zhang Liyang had no intention of letting anyone from Dao Kong Temple go.

The reason is very simple, that back when we attacked Flying Dragon City, this Kong Temple also put in effort.

It wasn't working for the Great Qin Dynasty, but for the secret sect!

At that time, the mountain gate of Dashi Temple was not on a mountain outside the city, but inside the city!

Under the guise of the esoteric teachings, this Kong Temple in Feilong City shows absolutely no mercy.

This also reminded Zhang Liyang of the reactions of those monks when he first entered Dao Kong Temple, a coldness and hatred!

From the very beginning, Zhang Liyang and Dao Kong Temple were not on the same side!

If we're not on the same side, what's there to consider Kill is all that remains!

"Beep, system task issued: eradicate the Dao Kong Temple!"

Hearing the system's task prompt, Zhang Liyang's lips twitched, and the last shred of pity in his heart vanished completely!

"Have they all left"

"Sir, we have surrounded the mountain!"

The mountain where the Dōkō-ji Temple is located isn't very big; three thousand people would be enough to surround it completely!

Let's begin.

"Yes!"

As night fell, upon Zhang Liyang's command, all the cavalry dismounted from their horses and retrieved a large wooden barrel from beneath them.

When they opened the barrel, a pungent smell hit them. However, the soldiers ignored it and poured the liquid from the barrel onto the vegetation at the foot of the mountain.

As more and more liquid was splashed, the pungent smell became even stronger. However, inside the Dashi Temple, a large number of monks were still asleep. Coupled with the night wind blowing, by the end when all the liquid was splashed, there was still no sign of discovery within the temple.

"Go for it!"

"Yes!"

Yuan Li, who had been waiting for Zhang Liyang's order, immediately took out a rocket after receiving the order and launched it into the darkness towards the mountain peak after igniting it!

As the first rocket appeared, a dense cluster of rockets followed closely behind, quickly launching into the air like a dazzling meteor shower and falling into the dark mountains.

While a meteor shower brings beauty and hope to people, Zhang Liyang's side is met with endless fire and the icy grip of death!

Boom!

When the rocket hit the pungent liquid, it instantly burst into flames. Anything that came in contact with the liquid, whether it be trees or rocks, would ignite!

Thus, almost in the instant that the meteor shower fell, a vast fire surged up, like towering waves rising in the sea, blotting out the sun!

Besides the flames, thick smoke from the burning green vegetation also billowed upwards!

"Fire! Fire!!"

"Come and put out the fire!!"

"Oh~ Come save me, please save me!"

Knock, knock~

As the flames rose, Dao Kong Temple was instantly filled with chaos. The urgent ringing of bells awakened monks from their sleep.

The awakened monk opened his eyes only to see an endless expanse of flames, scorching waves of heat, and choking smoke!

Water and fire are merciless, under the raging inferno, no one can escape. Either they are burned to death directly by the flames or suffocated by the thick smoke!

A few lucky ones, the quick-footed monks who wanted to run out of the mountain gate, were met with sharp crossbow arrows!

"Who dares to burn my sect!!"

A roar echoed through the air, and under the firelight, Zhang Liyang saw a figure bathed in faint golden light rising into the sky!

Zhang Liyang saw him, and he naturally also saw the rows of cavalry at the foot of the mountain!

"Great Qin Dynasty!"

This person was none other than the abbot of Dàokōng Temple, a man who had already opened seven out of ten channels in his Two Rings.

A figure descended, followed by rolling flames. The figure used the surrounding rocks to leap into the air and almost instantly arrived at the foot of the mountain!

"Ready, fire!"

Zhang Liyang had no interest in talking to him. With a wave of his hand, a large number of crossbow arrows shot towards the figure at high speed!

This is a military crossbow, powerful and with strong penetration. Even at close range, it can pierce steel plates!

The figure faced a dense barrage of crossbow bolts, unable to withstand the onslaught. It could only retreat back into the sea of fire once more.

"Who are you To whose army do you belong Why burn my mountain gate!"

A roar echoed through the air. Zhang Liyang glanced at Yuan Li beside him, and then Yuan Li strode out and shouted loudly, "Island Empty Temple, harboring rebels, guilty of treason!"

"With the general's order, I shall eradicate Island Sky Temple and uphold the laws of the state!"

You're spouting lies! Where is your general Whose orders are you following

Yuan Li didn't answer. Instead, he retreated back to Zhang Liyang's side and silently watched the figures struggling in the flames.

"Host, I know him!"

A figure also appeared, it was Hui'an. Apparently, Hui'an had also seen Zhang Liyang.

But at this moment, Huian was engulfed in flames, her body blackened and charred, her clothes burned with several holes.

Having quickly summed things up, the abbot of Dākōng Temple felt a chill run down his spine. However, he didn't want to sit idly by and wait for death. He immediately shouted, "My Dākōng Temple is affiliated with the Esoteric School. If you dare burn our mountain gate, the Esoteric School will definitely not let you go!!"

"You don't need to worry about this, we're only suppressing rebels. If you have the ability, tell the secret sect to negotiate with the dynasty!"

"Arrow, ready, fire!"

To completely break the other side's spirit, Zhang Liyang waved his hand, and countless crossbow arrows poured into the flames relentlessly.

Those monks who had finally crawled out of the sea of fire ultimately fell under the arrows, even Hui'an, a master at the second ring, could only fall in the flames and remain motionless beneath the endless flames and arrows.

As for the abbot of Dao Kong Temple, he only lasted a little longer than Hui'an.

As the sun rose, the flames gradually died down.

What was once a verdant mountain range turned to charred black, wisps of green smoke rising before being torn apart by the cold wind. the dagger flew from his hand.Two voices almost rose simultaneously, making it almost impossible to notice that in the darkness, an arrow darted forward at incredible speed.Whoosh!The Dihuang Bu unfo...
