Chapter 254: What if I Anger the Masses
The violent energy flashed by, and a massive black hand swept across the void, directly smashing a flying Cultivator from the Wings of Wind Continent into pieces. Scarlet blood splattered down, but there was not a hint of change in Wang Ben's eyes. Looking at the powerful figures from the Seven Realms charging up the city wall, he suddenly swung his right hand forward and coldly shouted,
"Ironclad Army, attack!"
In the blink of an eye, a group of fierce soldiers from Great Qin appeared on the city wall. A rough count revealed there were as many as five thousand, each clad in thick black iron armor and wielding black Fine Iron spears. Their imposing presence could easily rival that of ten thousand troops.
The Ironclad Army was precisely the force Wang Ben had prepared to deal with the powerful beings from all directions. Every soldier in this Ironclad Army was an elite among the defenders. Coupled with their sturdy Fine Iron armor, they could completely ignore ordinary attacks, while their spears were undoubtedly instruments of slaughter.
If there were only a few such soldiers, those formidable Cultivators would naturally not take them seriously. However, with five thousand standing together, the situation was different. Even if it were five thousand pigs to be slaughtered, it would still require effort; let alone these heavily armored and armed warriors. Especially since most Cultivators could not fly using Yukong, it made it impossible for them to treat this lightly.
"All Soldiers, follow this general to kill the enemy!" Wang Ben roared. His voice echoed like a Grayish-yellow Light Wave. Except for those domain experts who had reached the Fifth Stage and could fly using wind power, the Cultivators from the Wings of Wind Continent were swept away by this Grayish-yellow Light Wave, falling like kites with severed strings.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The furious shouts rang out as the remaining Great Qin soldiers charged once more at those Cultivators. Under the leadership of the five thousand Ironclad Army soldiers, the offensive momentum of the Seven Realms' Cultivators actually slowed down, and the previously tilted situation stabilized again.
"Ah..."
A series of urgent exclamations sounded as Wuguan welcomed another group of unexpected guests—those from Thunder Continent who had rushed over. Leading them were Sun Zhe and Li Zhen. Upon closer inspection, it was evident that Li Zhen's warhorse lagged slightly behind Sun Zhe's, indicating that Li Zhen willingly ceded command to Sun Zhe.
"Sun Zhe, the situation is critical; you must act quickly!"
Seeing Sun Zhe and his companions arrive, Liu Mei's face immediately lit up with joy. Ignoring her previous conflict with Sun Zhe, she shouted loudly at him. The other Cultivators from the Seven Realms also showed signs of relief; regardless of whether they were in the same camp as Thunder Continent, their common enemy was the defending troops at Wuguan. The arrival of Thunder Continent’s people would naturally hasten their breakthrough.
"Sun Zhe..." Observing everyone’s reaction at Wuguan, Li Zhen's expression turned serious.
"No need for discussion; follow my orders! All Thunder Continent Cultivators stay on standby! Those who disobey will be killed without mercy!" A cold voice came from Sun Zhe's mouth, devoid of any emotional tone. The words stunned Li Zhen, forcing him to swallow back what he was about to say.
"Understood!" Although there was some confusion in their hearts, an order was an order; no one dared to defy it.
With a slap on his horse's back, thick purple Thunder Light surged around Sun Zhe. The two Feral Beast Souls on his arms instantly entered his body. The Purple Star Point in his Left Eye shone brightly as violent Thunder Power merged with demonic energy and erupted simultaneously. Sun Zhe's aura immediately surged to its peak as his Thunder Domain appeared around him, enveloping him as he charged toward the city wall.
Just now, Sun Zhe and his group arrived, and not many of the combatants noticed them yet. However, Sun Zhe's display immediately attracted everyone's attention. The overwhelming aura he exuded enveloped an area of dozens of miles, making everyone feel that a top-tier powerhouse had also ascended the city walls.
Such a powerful figure could not be ignored. The cultivators from the Seven Realms instantly showed signs of joy, but a fierce glint also surged in Wang Ben's eyes as a cold voice rang out.
"Wang Hai, go stop this person!"
Wang Hai was an elite nurtured within Wang Ben's family, serving as Wang Ben's personal bodyguard. His cultivation was only slightly inferior to Wang Ben's, being a Fifth Stage domain powerhouse. If it weren't for their few bodyguards and several formidable generals, it would have been impossible for the Great Qin army, with its five thousand armored soldiers and several thousand ordinary troops, to withstand the frenzied assault of nearly a thousand Otherworldly Cultivators.
However, before Wang Hai could make a move, the scene before him left him dumbfounded; even his usually quick-witted mind struggled to react.
Sun Zhe's speed was astonishing. In the blink of an eye, he appeared atop the city wall. Yet instead of pursuing the defending Great Qin Soldiers, he directly confronted a cultivator from the Green Forest Continent. It was well-known that Sun Zhe had conflicts with the Green Forest Continent; after all, there were only two individuals acknowledged by Law who had fallen at Sun Zhe's hands. Such talents were rare even across the vast world, and it was no exaggeration to say that Sun Zhe had a deadly feud with the Green Forest Continent.
However, the Green Forest Continent cultivator did not believe that Sun Zhe would act against him in this situation. After all, everyone was currently working together to deal with the Wuguan defenders. If Sun Zhe attacked him, it would invoke everyone's wrath; even those from Thunder Continent would not be able to protect him. With this thought in mind, he did not take any precautions and continued mercilessly slaughtering ordinary soldiers.
Yet he underestimated Sun Zhe's audacity!
Raging Thunder Power surged into his palm, countless purple arcs flickering along his arm. His eyes glinted with cold ruthlessness as he delivered a punch directly to the back of the Green Forest Continent powerhouse. The Mighty Fist struck like thunder, instantly shattering the internal organs of that Green Forest Continent expert. With an expression of disbelief, his body exploded apart.
"Sun Zhe!!!"
The young man leading the Green Forest Continent team was instantly consumed by rage; fury surged in his eyes as he abandoned a faltering Qin State general in front of him and roared toward Sun Zhe. The person Sun Zhe killed was one of the three domain powerhouses sent by the Green Forest Continent this time—how could he not be furious?
But Sun Zhe did not engage head-on with the young man leading the Green Forest Continent. With a flash of Purple Light, his figure suddenly appeared before another Green Forest Continent cultivator who was slaughtering Qin Soldiers. An overwhelming pressure descended upon that cultivator, causing his face to change dramatically as he immediately fled without hesitation.
"Has this demon gone mad..." Fear filled his eyes; he wished he had four legs to escape faster and ran desperately forward.
But how could his speed compare to Sun Zhe's full-speed pursuit? In an instant, brilliant purple light pierced through his chest. Filled with deep unwillingness, his corpse fell straight onto the city wall.
After completing this feat, Sun Zhe expanded his form again and slammed down violently with one hand. A Flame Continent powerhouse who was casting Divine Ability had their brain splattered. With his left hand clawing downward, a massive Thunder Dragon's Claw brutally seized a Dark Continent cultivator from mid-Void and pulled them down like a steel whip. His right leg swung down hard, snapping the Dark Continent cultivator's body in two.
Sun Zhe practiced Thunder Power and was recognized by Law. Coupled with his previously integrated Divine Ability that transformed him into lightning, his speed was incredibly swift. Along with his monstrous combat qualities, in just moments, seven or eight cultivators from various continents fell at his hands—though most were from the Green Forest Continent and Flame Continent, there were also elites from other continents among them.
With a single sentence, Sun Zhe was clearly intent on provoking public outrage. Every Cultivator he encountered who had slaughtered Qin Soldiers fell at his hands. Sun Zhe's cultivation had already reached the pinnacle among the younger generation in the Eight Directions World, and he was not inferior to some ordinary elders. A typical Cultivator could not withstand even a single strike from him before being directly obliterated.
"Sun Zhe, what are you trying to do?"
At this moment, even Feng Ling, allied with the Thunder Continent, could not help but change her expression. Sun Zhe was killing people from the Dark Continent; this was no longer just simple revenge. If it weren't for Sun Zhe having saved Tang Yuexi in the past, she might have acted directly by now. Yet even so, her beautiful face bore a strong Killing Intent.
"Sun Zhe, you are seeking death!"
A cold voice echoed strangely above the city wall as Yin Wuqie appeared before Sun Zhe. Beneath him was the terrifying Vengeful Spirit Bone Beast, and his jet black eyes sparkled with undisguised ferocity. In his right palm burned a chilling white bone fire.
In an instant, all Otherworldly Cultivators focused their attention on Sun Zhe, while the pressure on the soldiers atop Wuguan eased slightly. Even Wang Ben's eyes revealed a hint of strange light.
Seeing everyone's gaze fixed on him, Sun Zhe halted his pursuit and stood tall on the earthen platform of the city wall, coldly addressing the elite from all realms,
"If you wish to enter my Qin State, you must first step over my corpse!"
Amidst the rustling Autumn Wind, Sun Zhe's words reached everyone's ears, carrying a resolute determination as solid as rock. Everyone inexplicably felt a bone-chilling coldness. Below the city wall, Li Zhen, who was mounted on his horse, trembled slightly as he suddenly loosened his grip on the reins.
