Chapter 138 Heavenly Demon Puppet
With the idea of taking revenge without delay, the entire Xu family was mobilized and the army was mobilized as quickly as possible to launch a counterattack.
With an army of less than 300,000, pursuing an army of nearly one million, this seemingly unreasonable thing is actually happening.
Moreover, they won with an absolute advantage.
Millions of defeated troops of the Tianxin Empire were caught up by Xu's army before they could escape from Tiannan Province. Then, these defeated troops, who had no will to fight, surrendered in large numbers.
After all, it is impossible to kill all of the millions of people, so most of the low-level soldiers were left behind. Some of them may be recruited later, and the others will either be sent to mine or to open up land, and they will definitely not be let go easily.
As for the middle-level and above officers, kill them all. There is no need to keep these diehards of the Xia royal family in the future.
Despite the massacre of military officers, the Xu family was not worried about a mutiny in the army. In a world where the strong are respected, no matter it is an army of one thousand, ten thousand, or one hundred thousand people, in front of an absolutely strong man, they are just like paper.
These defeated troops were dealt with, but those Dou Wang and Dou Huang masters, who could fly freely by turning their Dou Qi into wings, had already escaped without a trace.
But there is a saying that goes, you can escape the monk but you cannot escape the temple. The families, relatives, and descendants of these people are still in Tianxin City, and they must go back.
So, Xu Tianlong, Xu Haoyu, and their grandfather and grandson pulled some people together, and then called on Yao Tianhuo to open a space channel. They passed through the space channel and arrived at Tianxin City before everyone else.
What happens next can naturally be imagined. There is a Dou Zun Yao Tianhuo, a Dou Zong Xu Tianlong, and another Xu Haoyu who can rival a Dou Zong, with a group of Dou Wang and Dou Huang powerhouses.
In the simplest and most effective way, they raided and controlled Tianxin City, killing all rebels.
Then, they waited for the Dou Wang and Dou Huang who had escaped from the battlefield to fall into their trap. The final result was just as expected, and these people really came back one by one.
When they returned to Tianxin City, they were stunned and felt like the sky was falling. They had already escaped fast enough, but no matter how fast they ran, they could not escape the space channel.
These Dou Wang and Dou Huang warriors fell into the trap and returned to Tianxin City. No matter how they begged for mercy or how much they reflected on themselves, the Xu family had only one attitude, which was to kill them all without leaving a single one alive.
But this is just the beginning. When Xu Yaozu arrives with a large army, it will be time for a thorough settlement.
One family after another, their homes were ransacked and their entire families were exterminated. People were dragged outside the city and beheaded. Especially those with the surname Xia, no one could escape. More than 100,000 people were killed in a short period of time. Blood was everywhere and corpses piled up like mountains.
The Alchemist Guild was not able to avoid the killing, but the killing was less severe. Many alchemists who were not deeply implicated escaped the slaughter in the end.
However, although the Alchemist Guild can remain, a major change is inevitable, and the future president must be loyal to the Xu family.
This is considered good. The entire family of the Lin family Chamber of Commerce next door was killed, and all the industries will be taken over by the Xu family from now on.
Because of this, the wealth confiscated was innumerable, including skills, fighting techniques, elixirs, medicinal materials, magic weapons, natural treasures... and the most ordinary, but most heart-touching, gold and silver items, piled up like mountains, with a number that was difficult to calculate at the moment.
Of course, they did not forget that there were still some remnants of the royal family, the lifelong worshippers of the Alchemist Guild, and the supreme elders of the Lin Family Chamber of Commerce on the eastern and western battlefields. In the end, it was Xu Tianlong who led people to deal with them, and he also invited Yao Tianhuo to go with him, which was to tell everyone clearly that in the future, their Xu family, with a Dou Zun strongman protecting them, would take over the Tianxin Empire, which would be the general trend.
Xu Haoyu did not go. He felt that he was about to break through. Since his last breakthrough to the Douhuang level, he refined seventh-grade elixirs twice. The second time, he even took the elixir thunder himself. This time on the battlefield, he used all his strength to display the Guiyi Zhen Jue and the Five-Wheeled Fire Separation Method, which made him feel that there were signs of a breakthrough.
At this time in Tianxin City, in the original imperial palace!
Xu Haoyu was practicing, wholeheartedly absorbing energy and refining his Dou Qi. The Dou Qi in his body was also slowly increasing until it reached a certain limit and could not be increased any further.
But the fighting spirit continued to accumulate until a bang was heard, and the limit was completely broken. The fighting spirit in his body suddenly surged, and then the surging fighting spirit gradually stabilized.
Xu Haoyu officially broke through to the five-star Douhuang level, and his strength was greatly improved again compared to before.
Opening his eyes, Xu Haoyu was in high spirits. Breakthroughs are always surprising. He thought about it and thought to himself:
'Now that I have reached a breakthrough, I have nothing else to do. Perhaps I should refine the Heavenly Demon Puppet.'
Xu Haoyu did what he said. He went out and selected a large number of rare minerals from the confiscated wealth. These were important materials for refining the Heavenly Demon Puppet. The Heavenly Demon Puppet's invulnerable body would be made with these rare minerals.
Then, he returned to the room, took out the Heavenly Demon Puppet Scroll from the storage ring, opened it, and placed it on his forehead to study. A torrent of information, filled with a murderous aura, entered his mind and was deeply imprinted in his soul.
After he had memorized them all, he put down the scroll in his hand, and then he couldn't help but sigh that this puppet method was really cruel and powerful.
Then, Xu Haoyu took out Xia Renfan's body from the ring, raised his hand to summon a ball of dreamy blue flame, shook his hand and threw it out.
The flames fell on the corpse, and Xia Renfan's clothes were the first to turn into ashes. His already skinny body became even drier under the burning flames, and even the last bit of blood evaporated.
At the same time, streams of black gas seeped out from the corpse under the burning of the flames, and then completely dissipated in the flames.
Those are the remnants of the soul. If these things are not cleared away, they will affect the subsequent puppet refining.
To a certain extent, the same principle applies to possession of another's body. If you cannot resolve the remaining resentment of those souls, even if you succeed in taking over another's body, you will end up in endless trouble.
And now, as Xu Haoyu continued to calcine the corpse, the blood, black gas, impurities... and all kinds of miscellaneous things in the corpse were successfully expelled.
This made the corpse dry and the skin turned into a bluish-gray color. After repeated inspections by Xu Haoyu, he determined that it met the refining standards.
Nodding with satisfaction, Xu Haoyu snapped his fingers and released two streams of energy in succession, creating a hole in the forehead and abdominal cavity of the corpse respectively.
Then, Xu Haoyu took out two other things needed to refine the Heavenly Demon Puppet: the magic core of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix and the soul of the Eagle Guardian.
