My God, I am the emperor, the lord of mankind.

Chapter 74 Fighting the dragon!
What a hateful face that was.

Half charred, generally rotten, with bones exposed.

There was nothing where the eyes should have been.

The dough was forcibly sewn together with gold threads, and the facial features were misplaced, making the shape grotesque and particularly terrifying.

It spoke, filled with resentment.

"In the past, the children of the Ming Dynasty destroyed my body! Fortunately, Master Taiping rescued me and saved me from the soul-devouring ghosts. The pain of the past! Today I will pay for it with the lives of the descendants of the Zhu family!"

Faced with this sudden attack, Zhu Houcong shook his head.

"Originally I was just trying to trick you, but I didn't expect that someone actually took advantage of the chaos and took the initiative to release you."

Zhu Houcong drew out the Nine Heavens Thunder Fire Sword.

"Suffer death, you bastard!"

Zhu Houcong slashed away with his sword, and the originally ferocious face of the river god suddenly showed a trace of panic when faced with an extremely familiar scene.

He will again think of the shocking sword on the Yongding River in the early years of Yongle.

But this time... he was just a young emperor holding a magical weapon from his predecessors.

Thinking of this, his expression turned ferocious again.

A pair of hands steering the boat turned into sharp claws and grabbed Zhu Houcong straight away.

The dark wind howled and ghosts cried.

Qiu Luan and Wang Meng knew that this was not something they could deal with, so they immediately pulled the old soldier to avoid it.

When the river god saw this, a cruel smile appeared on his face.

Be afraid!Humanity!

Everything those humans did to me back then, today I will take double revenge on their descendants!
Even though it is just a human body that cannot be used to exert its strongest combat power, it is enough to eat a few humans.

Then, it saw that shocking sword on the Yongding River again!
"The sun is dead and the year is old! When the sun returns, I sleep in the wild!"

The sun has gone down!
It saw a falling sun shooting towards it, and the only space for shelter in the small ship was the Yongding River at its feet.

The fear in the memory flooded it again, and in an instant the courage accumulated over hundreds of years was consumed. It subconsciously jumped into the river again.

The swaying light of the sword illuminated the entire river, tearing away the ubiquitous white fog around it, and revealing the remains of the ship on the river.

Today, all the boat passengers on the Yongding River were devoured by this river ghost!
Only then was there silence around Zhu Houcong and others.

After it jumped into the river, it suddenly turned into a huge black shadow crisscrossing the water. The Yongding River surged, the sky was gloomy, and heavy rain poured down.

In the violent storm, the boat underfoot swayed like leaves.

The waves on the river became more and more violent, like an angry giant beast. The huge force threw the boat up and down repeatedly.

There were bursts of cries like those of a sad woman.

Mixed in the demonic wind on the river.

"You protect the old soldiers on the ship! The evil beast cannibalizes people! I will punish you from heaven!"

Zhu Houcong told the two people beside him.

After saying this, he used the sword technique and stood in the air with his sword.

The energy and blood all over his body were pressed down like a mountain. To the hundreds of ghosts under the river, he looked like a red blood sun!
The burning ghosts who wanted to take the opportunity to climb into the boat from the bottom of the river and look for the scapegoat kept wailing and screaming, and turned into ashes.

"You bastards of the Ming court! Like this! Like this again!"

The huge black shadow swam forward at an extremely fast speed under the water.

It spoke angrily and cursed the injustice of this world.

"It's like this every time! You guys are fighting among themselves! They sacrifice us with blood, but in the end they say we are evil gods! How hypocritical!"

Yes, this baby just eats some mortal teething rituals every few days. This has happened since ancient times. Why are you so special and think that I am an evil god!
This evil dragon is so angry!
It has been eaten by all dynasties, so why can’t it be eaten by a young child like you?
Zhu Houcong is not used to it——

The golden-red light spear was held in his hand, and hundreds of water arrows were shot out from the water, all of which were dodged by Zhu Houcong's sword.

Finding the right moment, Zhu Houcong pressed the light spear down hard.The light spear was inserted straight into the water, but the speed of the black shadow in the river was too fast, and the water flow around it was different from other places. It was darker in color, which had the effect of weakening the attack.

The light spear just touched the monster's skin and knocked off two scales.

"..."

Zhu Houcong thought about how to slow down the monster.

Two fire snakes emerged from Zhu Houcong's sleeves, got into the water, and intertwined with the black shadow under the water.

But in the opponent's home court, the Fire Snake was not in a good position to fight with water, and was swallowed up by the black shadow in a moment.

This is really hard to do——

Zhu Houcong was a little embarrassed for a while.

This thing is probably equivalent to half a pill-forming monk, and Zhu Houcong doesn't know how to escape through water.

This evil beast hiding under the water really put Zhu Houcong in a bit of trouble.

But Zhu Houcong didn't know that the thing under the Yongding River was even more frightened when he saw the light that just touched it and its scales fell off.

Compared to those mortals who cast their fallen scales into magical weapons.

He is very aware of how strong his scales are.

No matter whether it is chopped with a knife or axe, burned or dissolved by fire, it will not leave even a trace.

But the man on the river could easily break through his defense with a casual blow.

This is even more outrageous than that of King Yan back then.

At least what Zhu Di held back then was the Taoist treasure Zhenwudang Demon Sword.

But I saw Zhu Houcong lingering on the water.

It unconsciously regained some confidence in its heart.

"Master Taiping gave me the treasure casket. When the Ming Dynasty is destroyed, I will be the God of the Wuding River. I will eat all the descendants of the Zhu family to eliminate the hatred in my heart!"

After hearing this, Zhu Houcong was certain of one thing.

This guy is not very smart and has eaten all the descendants of the Zhu family. Do you know that Zhu Yuanzhang already had some outrageous clan policies because Zhu Di was afraid that future generations would imitate him and rebel? Do you know how many Zhu family members there are in the world now?

You won’t be able to finish it until you’re full!
However, this also reminded Zhu Houcong.

I still have a large number of consumables in my hand that I can use casually without worrying about shaking the country's foundation... No, I mean the gifts left by the great ancestor.

Training ordinary farmers to be cannon fodder to slay demons will undoubtedly affect agriculture, and arresting craftsmen will affect handicraft production. Letting criminals show their loyalty and military discipline is a problem. The army protects the home and country, and intellectuals are the treasure of the country. How can they be defeated casually? In this kind of place.

After thinking about it, for this group of people who sit at home every day, collect government money, eat and wait for death, even if they disappear one day, it is not only not a bad thing for the normal operation of the country, but can even reduce the burden on the country.

Zhu Houcong's eyes lit up.

yes!Why didn't I think of it!

How can the country support such a large group of people?Under my leadership, how can there be such a good thing as eating without working... No, this kind of unscrupulous thing exists!
Wait until you return to the capital!No!Tomorrow, let Qiu Luan and the others deliver the message tomorrow!Let each family of the Zhu family in various places send their children to Jinyiwei to report!

If you don’t report it, you will be removed from the family tree, and the government will cut off your income and starve you freeloaders to death!
Although the Ming Dynasty world cannot support so many demon blood warriors!Most of these clan members are unlearned and incompetent.

But you know how to do things like killing yourself!
Just commit suicide.

With this group of people as cannon fodder, the death rate will be greatly reduced when the Jin Yiwei goes to various places to slay demons in the future.

Moreover, if I could have brought such a group of people with me when I entered the southwest...

Perhaps Luo An and Qiu Luan would not be the only ones left alive by the Jin Yiwei who followed Zhu Houcong into the mountains.

Zhu Houcong took a deep breath.

He turned his attention to the dark shadows on the bottom of the river that were moving back and forth around the boat.

For the sake of being so sensible!I will give you and your nine tribes a happy life!
