Chapter 396: Chapter 324: Rebellion! (Request for Monthly Ticket)

"Ah"

Blood splattered, and both arms fell.

Vice General Hu let out a wail, his body staggering backwards, the ferocious agony turning his shady eyes blood-red, with bloodshot threads crawling across his entire pupil, emitting a hysterical scream.

"I am from the Hu Family of the Imperial Capital."

"You wretch, if you kill me, all you Hu women will have to die."

Saying this, he retreated in panic, trying to take refuge amongst his own troops, but his soldiers were already terrorized by the demon, cowardly fearing death, retreating noisily like a receding tide, which infuriated the young vice general into roaring furiously.

"You bunch of damned useless trash, attack!"

As his words fell, the sound of the wind screeched in, and clusters of crystal-clear snowflakes, like a river of sword Qi, grew bigger and bigger in his pupils.

Among the swirling snowflakes, a pair of ice-blue eyes were chilling to the bone, with a resolute intent to kill.

On the vacant, snowy ground where soldiers had retreated in a panic, this young vice general from the Hu Family of the Imperial Capital, who had played the role of a vassal for the Three Families entering Shu, was now frantically on the verge of losing his mind.

The general he relied on didn’t care about his life or death, his soldiers scattered like birds, leaving him alone with his hair disheveled, only able to scream and exert all his strength, waving his sleeves, sending out talisman after talisman that flew around him. Then, True Qi roared from within him, the Sword Mastery Qi three feet behind him spat out sharpness, protecting himself. Grinding his teeth, he steadied his feet and roared angrily, confronting the wind and snow that shot like white fog pillars coming towards him.

In an instant, the wind and snow shot fiercely, with the brilliance of sword light continuously striking against the Sword Mastery Qi.

"Ding ding dang dang"

The sounds of metal clashing were endless.

The wind and snow were split apart, divided into two halves, and the snow behind them exploded into muddy snow.

But the Sword Mastery Qi was quickly worn down, and in just a breath or two, it was broken through. Immediately after, "puff puff puff," one talisman after another exploded.

At this point, there was no more protection around the young Vice General Hu, and clusters of crystal-clear snowflakes, with their sharp edges, grew larger in his fearful pupils, fiercely shooting towards his body.

"Puff"

"Puff"

"Puff"

Muffled sounds of flesh bursting open could be heard, as the vice general’s body shook, emitting painful screams, and clusters of blood-colored plum blossoms bloomed on his body.

Moments later, when the wind and snow dissipated, one could see the vice general’s body was pierced like a wasp’s nest, tiny holes oozing with fresh blood, looking nothing human anymore, his throat gurgling blood, whimpering, but surviving at Heavenly Pass wasn’t so easy, there was still breath left.

Opposite him, three yards away, An Ge landed and flicked out a sword, piercing directly through the vice general’s Dantian in his stomach and then flicked it away.

"Pat"

The man fell beside Mi Ayi and others, letting out a heart-wrenching scream, but unable to move at all.

Seeing this, Mi Ayi’s tears turned into hatred, and with the round-arc dagger in her hand, she fiercely stabbed into the beast’s heart, then pulled it out, blood spurting and splashing onto her face.

Then she passed the dagger to another sister.

Just like that, one stab followed by another, until the final blow pierced through the opponent’s head, the Hu women thoroughly ended the life of this animal.

Beside them, Wei Zhong and his subordinate Colonels witnessed the determination and hatred of these Hu women, and it made their brows jump, but they did not stop them.

Today’s events could no longer be resolved amicably.

In the heavens, Gongyang Jianshan, transformed into a silver giant, struck his fists and shook the universe, causing the void to tremble, and forcibly stopping a falling full moon. Seeing his own vice general being killed by Hu women, his own troops encircled in the training ground, torn apart by black Demon Dogs, and Wei Zhong standing by without any interference, his face darkened with a fierce intent to kill.

"Wei Zhong, demonesses attacking the camp and killing generals, it turns out you have long been conspiring with them, which should be treated as a rebellion. By my command, lock down the Inner City, and wait for the arrival of the grand army..."

The voice shook the night sky, and the wind and snow howled bitterly.

The command resonated far and wide, and immediately sharp whistle sounds arose from the darkness.

After Gongyang Jianshan took charge of Tianxiong Pass, using the name of the Demon Suppression Envoy, he slowly sidelined Wei Zhong, taking over the defense of the inner and outer city gates. This command being issued meant a complete fallout, preparing to pin the crime of rebellion on Wei Zhong’s head, trapping all his troops in the Inner City, just waiting for the grand army to arrive and then they would be at the mercy of others.

The command swept through the Inner City like a hurricane.

He had not even finished speaking when a great roar interrupted him.

"Gongyang Jianshan!"

"Rebel against your ancestors!"

"I’ve served as the Colonel of Tianxiong Pass for many years; you neither fulfill your duties nor have the authority to command, barking orders – I’ve tolerated you for long enough."

"By my command, the Vanguard Army disregards military law and intends to overthrow the regime, arrest them on the spot. Anyone who resists shall be killed without mercy!"

Seeing this, Wei Zhong cursed him in his mind. As things had progressed to this point and could not be resolved amicably, he also stopped hesitating and directly drew a knife from the waist of a Colonel beside him, folded his hands and snapped it.

The blade shattered into several streaks of cold light, "whoosh whoosh whoosh," shooting towards several nearby Vanguard Army soldiers, followed by several miserable screams, those Armored Soldiers were blown away, crashing into a tent.

Then, with a blast from beneath his feet, he brought out the pitch-black Wolf Fang Club and wielded the club to charge upwards, eager to take advantage of the Heavenly Dog’s power to knock Gongyang Jianshan, who looked down upon him and threw his weight around at his Tianxiong Pass, off the clouds.

Best to kill him outright!

Wei Zhong had no shortage of ruthlessness in his heart!

And the Colonels by his side, upon hearing that Colonel was ready for a fierce confrontation, their expressions changed, but soon they hardened their faces, drew their swords one after another, seemed to vent out the frustration in their hearts, and shouted loudly.

"Order Xiongshan Camp to follow me in the arrest!"

"Black Cavalry Camp, charge with me, let’s take down those bastards, and if they resist, slaughter them!"

"..."

With the chorus of shouting, the Tianxiong Pass Mansion Army surging around the training grounds burst forth as if injected with a shot of adrenaline,

"Shing"

"Shing"

"Shing"

The sounds of drawing swords rang out in unison.

The clamor of horses neighed wildly.

Then, from all directions, they charged like a torrential flood into the Vanguard Camp.

The fire basins tumbled over, scattering sparks as the warhorses neighed long and loud, leaping into the camp.

In an instant, within and without the tents, blades and swords clashed, the sound of metal striking metal and fabric tearing filled the air with chaos.

Most of the troops in the Vanguard Army were private soldiers from various houses, who were good at acting tough and engaging in fierce combat, but they were no match for the Tianxiong Prefecture Army who had been defending Shu Pass all year round in terms of ferocity and discipline. Once face-to-face, they panicked and ran away, shedding their armor and helmets, scattering like frightened rats.

While outside the training field, when Colonel Gongyang Jianshan shouted orders to seal the inner city gate and the guarding soldiers there were still perplexed, the Tianxiong Prefecture Army had already sent Orderly Officers on horseback, who rushed around the barracks, shouting loudly.

"By order of Colonel Wei, the Vanguard Army Commander intends to overturn the Heroic Pass. Move quickly to open the city gates and capture the rebel vanguard. Any resistance will be met with execution!"

The whole Inner City, like a drop of water into a frying pan, was suddenly thrust into turmoil.

The commotion here naturally alerted the entirety of Tianxiong Pass; all around, within a radius of around ten miles, streaks of light soared into the sky, slicing through the wind and snow, racing towards the direction of the Inner City.

As pair after pair of eyes saw the collision of Soldier Armor from both armies on the inner city walls, the close-quarter combat, the slaughtering of each other, they all inhaled a cool breath of air.

"It has started!"

The Demon Suppression Envoy’s dispatched Vanguard Army was actually fighting with Tianxiong Pass Mansion Army, and gazes filled with shock or rapid flickering took in the scene.

This signifies something profound beyond words.

A bloody storm was about to hit Tianxiong Pass!

Those not in the know were astonished: How daring the local Colonel was!

But some pondered the deeper implications behind it, suspecting that the struggle between the two armies was merely a skirmish, and that behind the scenes, it could very well be a power play between Ninth Mountain’s Colonel and the newly appointed Demon Suppression Envoy!

For a time, within the nearby vicinity, pairs of eyes were tightly fixed on the Inner City, but the heavy snowfall from the heavens obscured the visibility, making it hard to see clearly what exactly was happening inside; only the sound of shouting filled the city.

Yet, those with supreme Cultivation and extraordinary eyesight could see through the blizzard, even from miles away, glimpsing a giant clad in silver brilliance, a Three-legged Red Furnace suspended above his head, holding up a bright moon, his fists swinging, dominating as if to crush the universe, causing the void to "shatter."

And facing the giant, a Fierce demon troll with billowing Demonic Qi, as if reaching the sky and grasping the moon, freezing the void inch by inch, with a ferocity that overflowed to the heavens.

At this time, atop the training field in the Inner City, the self-confident Gongyang Jianshan believed that after his order, Wei Zhong would hesitate because of the situation, and having the control of the inner city gate, along with everyone’s selfish interests—just like Xu Xiangdong in their midst, knowing when to advance or retreat, seeking glory by betraying one’s master—certainly wouldn’t comply obediently, risking death to defy the overwhelming odds. Thereafter, his own troops would sweep through Tianxiong Pass Mansion Army like autumn winds sweeping fallen leaves, making Wei Zhong unable to escape from his palm.

However, the scene before him was completely contrary to his expectations. Wei Zhong cursed him as a traitor, and the Prefecture Army, like autumn winds sweeping fallen leaves, overwhelmed the troops within the Vanguard Camp. His own men scattered headlessly like flies without leaders, eventually surrendering and casting off their armor.

This ignited a burning rage within the always arrogant Gongyang, wanting to slaughter mercilessly, but the demon before him was too difficult to deal with. It was the Heavenly Dog, one of the Ten Evils, on the same level as the Third Layer of Tao Fruit. Unable to gain the upper hand, he felt a surge of fury stuck in his chest.

Below, the roar was deafening as a black Wolf Fang Club smashed towards him.

It was Wei Zhong, cursing his mother as a horse.

"You deserve to die, I will surely kill you today!" the face of Gongyang Jianshan darkened, his eyes almost spewing fire, determined to even if he had to fight at the cost of injury, to completely resolve this perpetrator who defied the Heavenly Army; without their leader, they would surely fall under his manipulation.

Above his head, the furnace suddenly erupted, drawing upon the raging blood and Qi within his body, his dazzling silver-formed massive body echoed with the peculiar sounds of Scripture, as a mysterious and mighty force was about to gush out, charging towards Wei Zhong.

Just at that moment, a bizarre, ear-piercing laugh rang out. The Heavenly Dog opened its mouth wide, swallowing the moon, and the world plunged into darkness instantaneously. Gongyang Jianshan was cast into the Heavenly Dog clan’s Black Prison Divine Skills, a power that Chen Yuan had once narrowly understood, capable of temporarily depriving one of their Five senses.

In a flash, Wei Zhong’s black Wolf Fang Club violently smashed down, and a splendid Sword Qi, like a shooting star chasing the moon, shot forth with an alarming crack of tearing air; the Heavenly Dog’s sharp and enormous claws cut through the void, swiping straight down.

Gongyang Jianshan had his Five senses momentarily taken away, but his subconscious crisis instinct was triggered. The giant’s body suddenly stamped down his feet, and from within his body, a resounding buzz of metal vibrations emanated. Following that, several silver rings with mysterious and complex patterns rose from his feet, enveloping his form.

"Dang"

"Ding"

"Boom"

Three loud noises, the light rings violently shook but remained unmovable. Only the great force behind the Heavenly Dog’s blow pushed Gongyang Jianshan down from the sky, thudding onto the ground, creating a sizable crater.

Within, a flash of silver, the giant’s form was broken, Gongyang Jianshan leaped up, then his eyes grimly fixed on the three figures standing in the void, he laughed bitterly from extreme anger.

"Very well, very well."

"Colonel Wei truly has some nerve."
