Chapter 252: The Battle to Break Through
"It’s the people from Thunder Continent. The one leading them is Sun Zhe from Thunder Continent. The siblings, Lu Qin and Lu Qian, died at his hands. From my estimation, his current strength is no less than that of Zhan."
Watching Sun Zhe charge ahead with over fifty men, Fire Cloud from Flame Continent's eyes flickered, and he spoke in a hoarse voice. He had witnessed Lu Qin's death at Sun Zhe's hands on the plains. Although there were suspicions of trickery on Sun Zhe's part, his decisiveness and quick thinking were beyond what ordinary people could achieve. Even he believed he could not reach the level of Sun Zhe under those circumstances.
It was precisely for this reason that the relatively unknown Sun Zhe caught his attention. He valued Sun Zhe as much as he did Zhan and Thunder Abyss. What he did not know was that Huo Xing, who was equally renowned in Flame Continent, had also fallen to Sun Zhe. Otherwise, his regard for Sun Zhe would have been even greater.
"So he is Sun Zhe!"
A hint of malice flashed across the face of a young man representing Green Forest Continent. His black eyes revealed an unmasked fierce light. The siblings Lu Qin were top-tier powerhouses from Green Forest Continent, and Sun Zhe's sudden killing of both had greatly weakened their strength. If given the chance for revenge, he would certainly not hesitate.
"Although they are fast on horseback, it will still take some time for them to arrive. Once they do, the people from Wings of Wind Continent will likely take action as well. Delays could lead to changes; let’s start according to plan!"
Noticing the unusual reactions among the crowd, the White-Robed Man standing before them couldn't help but glance at Sun Zhe with a hint of intrigue. However, his reaction was swift; he immediately roused everyone and commanded.
Upon hearing the White-Robed Man's words, several people quickly came to their senses. Sun Zhe was merely a matter of concern; what was most important now was to cross this obstacle and break into Qin State territory.
"Brothers from Flame Continent, follow me!" Fire Cloud roared, leading one hundred fifty elite members from Flame Continent toward the direction of the stronghold. Following closely behind were many powerful figures from Water Cloud Continent and Green Forest Continent rushing toward the city walls.
Only the White-Robed Man remained standing in place, behind him stood twenty unmoving White Robed Priests. Behind these priests stood fifty imposing Golden Armored Knights. Although seventy individuals were not many, their aura was no less formidable than that of Flame Continent's one hundred fifty men; they belonged to Light Continent's forces.
Within Light Continent, the Holy See ruled the entire continent through religious faith, and this leading White-Robed Man was Aoken, the Saint Son of the Holy See, who commanded all forces within Nine Continents.
"They are preparing to attack the city!"
A startled cry drew the attention of many powerful figures from Wings of Wind Continent toward Light Continent's camp, especially those at the forefront who involuntarily stepped forward with a hint of tension in their expressions, their sharp gazes fixed intently on Wuguan.
"Everyone prepare! If they break through the gates, we will follow immediately!" Yin Wuqie maintained his composure as his black eyes glimmered with a strange light outside his black robe, outlining two peculiar arcs. His hoarse voice echoed in everyone's ears.
"Yes!" The voices rose and fell immediately behind him. Not only the strong from the Dark Continent, but also many elites from the other two continents were ready to expend some strength to prevent the Light Continent side from stepping into Qin State territory first.
"Is it time to break through..."
Gazing down at the crowd below, a chilling indifference flashed in Wang Ben's black eyes. His massive hand slammed onto the parapet of the city wall, sending lime dust flying, while a bloodthirsty excitement surged on his face hidden beneath the helmet.
"First team, prepare the boulders!"
"Second team, prepare the Fire Oil!"
"Third team, prepare the Demon Slayer crossbows!"
"All archers, get ready! As soon as the enemy enters within two hundred paces, draw your bows and shoot!"
"The remaining soldiers, grip your Weapons tightly and prepare to fight these otherworldly barbarians. For every barbarian killed, a reward of one hundred taels of silver will be given, and you will be promoted two ranks. If anyone can slay their leader, I will personally grant them a military title and request a reward from His Majesty after the battle!"
Commands poured from Wang Ben's mouth as he stood coldly atop the city wall, his face filled with a murderous aura. He showed no signs of panic in front of the elite otherworldly beings; this calmness and decisiveness alone were enough to qualify him as a general.
"Great Qin is mighty! Great Qin is mighty..."
A continuous roar erupted from atop the city wall as twenty thousand Great Qin soldiers shouted in unison. Upon hearing Wang Ben's final command, everyone's eyes turned crimson. Such generous rewards were unprecedented; everyone was energized as they watched the many otherworldly elites below, feeling that there were too few of them.
On Wuguan, a powerful battle intent spread forth, and an endless murderous aura was summoned from below Wuguan. Even the half-Void clouds seemed to dissipate under this stimulus. An unimaginable wave of Killing Intent enveloped everyone’s mind and body, and a thick smell of blood permeated the black city walls.
The ferocity of Great Qin's soldiers was revealed for the first time before the otherworldly crowd!
Seeing Great Qin Soldiers' increasingly formidable momentum, everyone below the pass couldn't help but change their expressions. They had not expected that what they viewed as insignificant figures would possess such presence. Not only those ordinary Otherworldly Cultivators but even those recognized by Law from various realms changed their expressions.
"Attack!" Aoken commanded coldly with a slightly grim expression.
As soon as the words fell, the twenty White Robed Priests behind him immediately soared into the air, crossing their hands over their chests and beginning to pray softly.
A wave of mysterious energy surged from his body. Although these priests had not reached the Fifth Stage, they had already stepped into its threshold, just one step away from it. Under their full effort, terrifying energy dragons rose within their bodies, and the powerful energy fluctuations caused Autumn Wind to come to a standstill.
“Holy Light Technique!”
With a low shout, the twenty priests simultaneously spread their arms, and enormous white orbs of light instantly ascended into the sky. In the blink of an eye, they appeared in half Void, shining like twenty suns illuminating the earth. The dazzling light immediately blinded everyone’s eyes. The unprepared Great Qin Soldiers felt as if their eyes had gone dark and suddenly could see nothing.
“Ah... my eyes…”
“I can’t see anything…”
...
“Wanmu Huateng!”
In unison, over a hundred Cultivators from the Green Forest Continent struck the ground, directly summoning ancient trees and vines from the earth. These ancient trees and vines grew at an astonishing speed, rapidly spreading a hundred feet long, all rushing toward the city walls. In an instant, the entire city wall was covered with these green vines.
“Fire!”
At this moment, many powerful figures from the Flame Continent also took action. With a fierce gesture of their hands, flames shot toward the city wall. Although the attacks could not reach the soldiers inside the wall, they ignited those green vines. Instantly, fierce flames erupted across the entire city wall, and over a thousand soldiers standing at the edge of the wall were plunged into an Inferno, consumed by endless flames in the blink of an eye.
“Ah... fire... fire…”
“It’s burning... all fire…”
The soldiers engulfed in flames immediately cried out in despair as charred bodies fell from the city wall. In just a moment, over a thousand Great Qin Soldiers perished under several combined Divine Ability attacks.
Taking advantage of this moment, the allied forces from various continents charged toward the city wall. Although the flames on the wall remained fierce, they no longer posed a significant threat to them. Shadows flickered continuously as black figures swiftly climbed toward the city wall.
"All archers, target two hundred steps ahead, fire!"
At that moment, Wang Ben's voice echoed like a sound from hell in everyone's ears. A row of indifferent archers suddenly appeared on the city wall, their cold gazes fixed on the charging Otherworldly Cultivators. They were indeed the elite soldiers of Great Qin; the recent deaths of over a thousand soldiers did not shake their confidence in the slightest.
Without hesitation, the arrows in their hands were launched forward. A dense rain of arrows fell downwards. Perhaps a single arrow would not take the life of those Cultivators, but when dozens of arrows struck their bodies, even the leading Fifth Stage experts had no hope of surviving!
"Heavy stones, Fire Oil, pour it down!"
As soon as Wang Ben's words fell, thousands of burly warriors immediately brought everything prepared to the city wall. Huge stones were hurled down towards the ground, and boiling oil was poured out as well.
"Ah..."
A wretched cry instantly rang out, but this time it was directed at a different target. After all, only a few could fly using Yukong; most Cultivators climbed up the ancient trees and green vines to reach the city wall. With so many heavy stones and Fire Oil pouring down, nearly a hundred Otherworldly experts were hit in an instant, and over forty fell directly!
"Begin!"
At that moment, Yin Wuqie, shrouded in a black robe, decisively waved his right hand downward and coldly uttered two words. In the blink of an eye, several hundred more Otherworldly experts joined the battle.
