Chapter 157 Heavenly Soldiers and Hounds

Daozu's eyelids twitched wildly when he heard this. He had not expected that these armored and scaled men actually came from the Divine Palace.

He had seen the soldiers of the Liaodong Provisional Government. They were in high spirits and knew why they were fighting. With the equipment provided by the Mutual Aid Association, they dared to call for a new world.

Even the Jiedushi who occupied Liaodong was defeated by them in just one week, but now they were defeated by a group of armored hunting dogs!

But the Temple of God is the Temple of God after all, and the Heavenly Lord is still the Heavenly Lord after all, and their strength and background should not be underestimated.

Daozu took a deep breath, turned his head to look at Taishang, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"That was hasty. Tai Shang, do you think we have a chance of winning?"

Tai Shang's eyes flickered slightly, and he turned around to look in the direction of the battlefield, observing the battlefield meticulously with his cloudy eyes.

However, a gray-white cement road divided the black mudflats along the way. Several green troop transport trucks and armored off-road vehicles, like frightened little animals, fled towards their nests.

And after them.

Hundreds of armored, scaled, dog-like beasts, as tall as humans and as small as calves, followed closely on the troop transport trucks and armored off-road vehicles like hunters chasing a herd of animals on the grassland. The distance between the two sides was shortening at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The remnants of the 14th Division of the Liaodong Provisional Government, like a little animal looking back in surprise, realized that disaster was about to happen.

A Mengshi armed off-road vehicle rushed down the road and stopped sideways on the roadside with its tail swinging. A brave mortal soldier emerged from the roof of the vehicle and lifted up a general's green canvas, revealing a machine gun with a bulletproof plate welded on it.

"Da da da!" A raging fire snake gushed out from the roof of the Mengshi armed off-road vehicle. Tracer bullets mixed in the metal storm illuminated the angry face of the mortal soldier operating the machine gun.

The rain of bullets did not disappoint his expectations. They hit the attacking hounds one by one, shattering their external scales and embedding themselves firmly in the polymer glue layer underneath the scales.

Although no beast fell, the impact of the bullets caused the dozen or so hounds that were rushing in the front and about to touch the troop transport truck to stagger and almost fall to the ground.

Therefore, the leading hound let out a low roar, and on its narrow face covered with black scales, three pairs of scarlet eyes locked directly on the brave warrior armed off-road vehicle.

The other dozen or so hounds also sped up. In the blink of an eye, a few black shadows flashed by, and with scarlet shadows they pounced madly on the Warrior.

At this moment, on top of the Mengshi armed off-road vehicle.

Through the gaps between the gun shields, Shen San saw the pack of hounds charging under machine gun fire. From time to time, he could see tracer bullets like laser beams hitting these beasts and ricocheting off.

He couldn't help but widen his eyes. Damn it, the skins of these beasts are welded with steel plates. Even steel-core bullets can't break them. Do you still have any shame?

Turning back angrily, Shen San shouted at the top of his voice.

"Run! They're coming towards us!"

With a labored roar from the engine, the four wheels of the Mengshi off-road vehicle kicked up a large amount of mud, and it rushed onto the gray-white road like an old bull with full energy, leaving two black ruts.

Shen San staggered, and even his machine gun fired a barrage of bullets at a 45-degree angle into the sky.

He quickly stabilized the machine gun, glanced to the left and rear in surprise, and thought to himself that it was strange.

I always feel like someone is watching me. Is it a friendly force, or another group of beasts?

While he was thinking, he heard knocking sounds from inside the car and the company commander's roar.

"Shen San, where is my machine gun firepower!"

"Oh oh!" Shen San quickly turned his head and looked at the pack of hunting dogs that had advanced to more than 30 meters away from the rear of the car, and quickly turned the machine gun fire.

At the same time, on a stretch of hills to the left rear.

Seeing the Supreme Lord riding ahead, silently observing the battlefield, no one could tell what he was thinking. Daozu couldn't help but frown. He had chosen the Supreme Lord as his military advisor because he was well-versed in ancient texts, and his secret school was connected to the genius who had disobeyed the Heavenly Venerable centuries ago.

Therefore, he was able to understand some of the secrets of the Daqian Dynasty and the Three Great Divine Palaces, also because he, his master and the Three Great Divine Palaces had irreconcilable conflicts.

But now, seeing his friendly forces in trouble, why is he unmoved?

After collecting his thoughts slightly, Daozu rode forward and asked with his head tilted.

"Does the military advisor have any ideas on how to defeat the enemy?"

Tai Shang's thoughts were interrupted. He withdrew his gaze from the battlefield on the road below, shaking his head and sighing. This army was finished.

Turning around, he bowed and shook his head.

"No. We can't stay here for long. We'd better leave before the heavenly soldiers find us!"

Heavenly soldiers? Pondering this word, Daozu's eyes flashed with confusion.

Just looking at the strength of these hounds, they have only reached the fourth level of physical strength. Not to mention that I am leading these 28 cavalrymen, just looking at everyone sitting on the horse, they are no worse than these beasts. Doesn't the heavenly soldier have the strength to wipe us out?

Confused, he honestly sought an answer.

"Military Advisor, please quickly tell us about the Heavenly Soldiers!"

Tai Shang stroked his long white beard and looked at the two parties chasing each other on the road below the hill, a trace of reminiscence flashing in his eyes.

He still remembered that when he was still a child, he once asked his master why his master, whose physical and spiritual cultivation had reached the sixth level, did not participate in the ascension ceremony of the Divine Palace like the outside world.

The master once said something very meaningful: Disciple, remember this, if the sky is really a paradise, why should it be enjoyed by a group of mortal monks from the earth?

These words flashed through his mind, and Tai Shang sighed deeply, "Master, oh Master, you are right, the so-called ascension is a scam!"

Realizing that he had been distracted, he turned back and spoke seriously.

"Chief, you should know that ever since that prodigy who disobeyed the Heavenly Venerable hundreds of years ago, the Heavenly Venerable has opened up a path for ascension, allowing cultivators who have cultivated their physical and spiritual realms to the fifth level to ascend to the heavens and listen attentively to the Heavenly Venerable's teachings on the great way."

Daozu's eyelids twitched slightly, and an answer rose from his heart.

"The Heavenly Soldiers are these seniors!"

Tai Shang looked up at the sky with a deep gaze.

"Yes and no. To be more precise, only their shells remain, and they have become weapons."

"It's coming!"

"Heavenly soldiers!" Daozu opened his lips slightly, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly followed the gaze of Taishang.

But above the sky filled with dark clouds, a blood-red figure flew across at a speed so fast that it looked like a blood-red rainbow.

At this moment, a rusty red light flew out before the blood-red light.

The target was the Mengshi armed off-road vehicle whose gun barrel was red from being the rear guard!
