Fang Ning continued to look down and saw a group of Taoist priests holding steel knives appear below, with about hundreds of people.

This is really like putting down the whisk and picking up the butcher knife.

Fang Ning sighed, not interfering for the time being.

I saw those Taoist priests of steel swords divided into several teams to clear out the bandits or rioters who were robbing in the Taoist Palace one after another.

Similar to what they saw before, although they lost their mana, the powerful body they tempered is still there, which is equivalent to the existence of their own steel armor.

Some brave rioters dared to pick up their sticks, swords and guns and fight with them. However, without breaking the defense at all, they could only be chopped down to the ground one by one.

There were two types of weapons strictly prohibited in ancient times, one was crossbow and the other was armor. Because armor and no armor were two levels of combat power.

With armor, it can block most damage and concentrate all its strength to output. It has always been one of the standards for elites, while without armor, it is one of the symbols of cannon fodder.

Therefore, these rioters are no match for them at all. When the most courageous group was cut to death, the rest could only put down their spoils and flee in a panic.

Looking from the sky, you can see that the general direction of these fugitives is heading towards several exits of the palace.

Of course, most of them could not escape the steel sword Taoist priests and were still lost, and they even entered a real dead end.

And those Taoist priests of steel swords seemed to be venting. Even if someone really couldn't run away and knelt down and begged for mercy, they would go up and slash them with a knife, and blood immediately gushed like a fountain.

Just when Fang Ning couldn't stand it and wanted to intervene and stop it, the situation changed again, and it was a change that made him stunned.

I saw that at the exit of the palace, the few rioters who ran out first were still following several teams of steel sword Taoist priests who were chasing them.

Obviously, these Taoists hated the rioters to the core and wanted to kill them all.

When these rioters who were faster ran to a green green forest outside the palace, they seemed to be scolded, and suddenly stopped and ran to both sides.

Fang Ning could clearly see from the sky that there was a large group of people lying in the green forest, which seemed to be the so-called army of the court as the Taoist priests.

But the steel sword Taoist priests who were chasing him relentlessly naturally did not have this look, and even if they lost their magic, they could not sense any crisis in advance.

When they followed the rioters and ran to Cuilin, they just found something wrong and stopped one after another and suffered a head-on blow.

"Bang! Bang!"

Flashes of smoke rose from the dense forest, and a piece of projectile rushed towards the Taoist priest of the steel knife like a splash of water.

"Damn it, it's a musket?" Fang Ning's eyes were sharp. After a closer look, he immediately ate a whale. "Is there a time traveler in the upper realm? The spell is not effective, so he started playing gunpowder weapons?"

"Insufficient intelligence, it is impossible to judge." The system incarnation obviously did not have the self-consciousness of the supporting actor like the old man, and answered truthfully.

If the old man is here, he will definitely say, "Aren't you the time traveler?"

Fang Ning was in a hurry to confront the system, after all, the other party was just an intelligent machine.

He was just thinking about what impact these changes will have on the upper realm.

The invention of muskets means a major change in the human world. With muskets, barbarians were gradually cleaned up, and the so-called civilized people began to rule more land, seize more resources, and thus accumulate the resources needed for the industrial revolution.

The emergence of muskets means that the steel armor is completely ineffective, which means that the gap between elite soldiers and ordinary soldiers is greatly narrowed, and modern soldiers are consumables in assembly lines.

It was not until tanks and armored vehicles appeared that the armor reappeared on the battlefield in another form.

And now, the same is true.

The powerful body tempered by Taoists over a hundred years is also vulnerable to muskets!

There were thirty or forty people in those teams of Taoist priests, most of whom fell to the ground and blood flowed into a river.

Only a very small number of Taoist priests could still stand, but they were also shocked by the projectile and took a few steps back, looking down at their chests in disbelief.

Then they looked up at the musket team in front, and did not pounce on it, but turned around and ran away.

"It's really strange. As long as ten people rushed into the musket team, they could kill the people. Why did they escape?" the system incarnation suddenly asked.

"Uh, if the old man is here, he wouldn't ask this question," Fang Ning said speechlessly, "After all, they are humans, not machines. They just rely on their powerful body and have the advantage of crushing, so they dare to go to the battlefield to fight to the death. Now when they see their companions being knocked down with one shot, who is willing to fight for the probability of not being beaten to death? After all, they don't know the true power of the musket."

"Oh, so that's it. They are scared because of the unknown." The systemic incarnation understood.

"That's it." Fang Ning understood very well that it was normal for these Taoist priests to collapse. If they did not collapse, it would be surprising.

After all, Taoist priests practiced for hundreds of years, not to act as cannon fodder on the battlefield, nor to have the constraints of military law and supervision teams. In the situation just now, it was normal to escape backwards and to both sides.

At this time, after repelling the first group of Taoist priests, Fang Ning heard cheers from the dense forest.

"Ah, it's really effective. The Kingdom of Heavenly Man is powerful. The magic weapon of heavenly fire that has been passed down can indeed kill the demonic path!"

The soldiers below were obviously overly excited and started to make a noise.

But then there were waves of scolding, and the noise quickly disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, orders appeared one by one, and the musket teams came out of the forest and began to roll back towards the Dao Palace.

So the scene just now happened again, but this time, the ones who were slaughtered became those Taoist priests of steel swords.

Of course, it is those Taoist priests who have seen muskets for the first time, or those who have heard of the Taoist priests who have retreated before, but do not believe in evil...

As for the others who believed, those who had learned lessons, they all walked as fast as they could, climbed over the wall, and quickly escaped from the Taoist palace.

"If these guys have strong fighting will and organize twenty or thirty people, they rely solely on bows and arrows. No, relying on their strong bodies and bricks and stones, they can also break up the new musket team. Unfortunately, they are either army or they cannot do this." Fang Ning sighed.

He was condescending and naturally saw the advantages and disadvantages of both sides clearly.

In fact, even at the last moment, the Taoists had the opportunity to turn defeat into victory on the battlefield. After all, the fire speed of muskets was placed there.

But when they found that their invulnerable body was ruthlessly broken in front of the musket, they were obviously panicked, and even the leader escaped first. After losing their organizational strength, everything was irreversible.

Of course, from a strategic perspective, these Taoist priests ran without any problem, because even if they won this game, the imperial army could continue to organize more musket teams to kill them.

"However, why do the mortal courts want to strangle these Taoist priests?" Fang Ning said in surprise, "Is it because he was too oppressed before, but now he has begun to awaken his sense of resistance?"

"Oh, it should be for those elixirs for immortality." The system incarnation gave the answer directly.

Fang Ning looked carefully and saw that the soldiers were sent out and entered places similar to alchemy rooms, and then he realized it.

Any resistance to oppression and venting resentment is gone. If the rioters might have this nature just now, these rioters who regard the rioters as bait and tempters have no idea at all.

They are here to compete with the Taoists for the last batch of immortality medicine for the sake of the immortality of the powerful people in the court!

Against the background of the dissipation of vitality, this contradiction cannot be adjusted. No wonder we have to meet in the end.

Since the Taoists have no strength and cannot continue to refine elixirs, and there is still a batch of elixirs hidden in their homes, isn’t that the crime of possessing a treasure?

Of course, the imperial army would not do too much, at least they would retain a few Taoist seeds, but most Taoist priests would be killed to avoid competing with them for the last little cultivation resources.
