Chapter 401: Chapter 327: That Guy Finally Arrived! (Requesting monthly ticket)_2
"Indeed, why not just surrender here and now? When we escort you to the front lines to admit your guilt, perhaps the Court official sent here might take pity and spare your life."
Beside them, someone watched on with a cold gaze and let out a snide laugh.
This person was the Colonel Yong’an who arrived first at Tianxiong Pass, voicing his mockery.
Clearly, these six were all Colonels from various prefectures. Aside from the initial three, another three had arrived.
The six Colonels encircled Wei Zhong. It seemed as if they were trying to persuade him to surrender, but what they were truly doing was mocking and berating him, pressing in step by step, their aura firmly locking onto Wei Zhong.
They felt that Wei Zhong had gone mad.
The Court’s Demon Suppression Envoy was soon to reach Shu, with a mighty army on the brink. Yet, Wei Zhong was stirring up his Government Army, which was tantamount to seeking death, defying the Court, and tantamount to rebellion.
They had come to pay their respects, already carrying some intentions with them. Coming upon this incident, they naturally had to "quell the rebellion" and secure a contribution to their name.
The six’s auras surged, ready to take action at any moment.
Wei Zhong’s face darkened, his body stiffened for a moment, and the horses behind him charging into battle neighed anxiously and restlessly.
At this moment, a loud, scornful laugh thundered.
"Wei Zhong, as I said, don’t even think about escaping. Look, the other Colonels all think you’re insane; even your own Shu brethren think so. It proves just how foolish you are."
With that, a sneer followed,
"I know who you’re waiting for, but what of it? The Demon Suppression Envoy, the three Deputy Commanders, and the 150,000-strong army are right now hundreds of miles outside the border, and will be here any moment."
"Heh, perhaps the one you’re waiting for has already gone outside the border to apologize and not shown himself because he wants to pretend he doesn’t know an idiot like you, bringing him trouble. Otherwise, the one you wait for might not fare any better."
The laughter was shrill, filled with a hint of pride and ferocity.
From a slanting direction high above, a few miles in the sky, stood Gongyang Jianshan, the Vanguard Army Commander who was resisting the Heavenly Dog Moon Wheel. He sneered and then a loud metallic clang echoed from within his body. The next second, a three-legged bronze brazier spun out beneath his feet, ringing out with a piercing clang.
As it quickly enlarged, it slammed directly towards the Moon Wheel and then, with a shout towards the downward diagonal, his eyes flashing coldly, almost gnashing his teeth,
"Capture him, dead or alive!"
His Vanguard Army had been beaten into such a state by Wei Zhong’s Government Army, almost losing all face and becoming the laughingstock of Tianxiong Pass—a serious blow to his prestige. Being new to the place and representing his family to take control of the opportunities in Shu, he had intended to use Wei Zhong to establish his authority, only to be slapped in the face.
When the main force would arrive, it was imaginable how embarrassed he would be and the consequences that would follow, his position likely to be revoked and also to be scorned by other families.
Now, only by cutting down this damn Colonel of Tianxiong Pass could he alleviate the resentment in his heart and recover a bit of face. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
Following this command, the six Colonels stiffened, spiritual light flared from their hands, and the Taoist Soldiers were revealed,
"Wei Zhong, won’t you surrender?!"
Yet, Wei Zhong’s eyes flashed with cold light and madness. He swung his black Wolf Fang Club horizontally and spat out a word with a roar,
"Scram!"
Saying so, he burst forward from his stance, and with a shrieking sound, his Wolf Fang Club transformed into a giant club and swung fiercely around.
In an instant, the air vibrated, thundering forth, and the shadow of the club carrying the momentum of a landslide struck at the six Heavenly Pass Colonels.
"You refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!"
"Then don’t blame us for showing no camaraderie among fellow soldiers."
"Charge!" Some of the six Mid Colonels shouted angrily, their righteousness unwavering, as they struck with their Taoist Soldiers, converging on Wei Zhong from all sides.
In a flash, the sharp roar of the battle shook the void, brilliant spirit light burst forth continuously, forcefully suppressing the momentum of the Tianxiong Prefecture Army.
"General!"
"General!" Troops cried out in alarm, rushing forward to break the encirclement, neighing furiously.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Gongyang Jianshan, driving the brazier to counter the Moon Disk, charged his enormous silver body towards the Demon Cloud, swinging his fist mightily at the massive True Body of the Heavenly Dog, causing the Demon Cloud to fragment.
The Heavenly Dog howled fiercely, its monstrous Demon Body lashing out with claws and clashing with Gongyang Jianshan. Beneath its ferocious exterior, a cacophony of rooster crowing and ghostly wails was unleashed at Gongyang Jianshan.
"Owoo, are you wearing a turtle shell, hard like a Wangba, making my paws hurt."
"Your Wangba Fist is the same."
"Owowo!"
These strange cries irritated Gongyang Jianshan to the point his veins pulsed, letting out a low growl. The green tattoos on his body churned like boiling water, merging into his flesh, and his aura swelled, set to capture this foul-mouthed Heavenly Dog.
But the Heavenly Dog unhurriedly rolled the Demonic Qi around its body, opened its gaping mouth, and swallowed the bright moon above its head, repeating its old trick.
Instantly, Gongyang Jianshan lost his Five senses, surrounded by pitch black.
Just as he fell into shock and anger, he heard a bizarre cry, "Dammit, who sneaked up on this dog?"
Following closely was a tremendous roar.
In the pitch-black darkness, a breath of fiery red energy suddenly shot up from below, slicing through the Black Prison and slammed into the Heavenly Dog’s Demon Body, charring a large patch of its skin and revealing the fierce flesh underneath.
The Black Prison was broken, Demonic Qi shattered, and clarity was restored.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye.
After the Demonic Qi dispersed, three figures appeared in the void.
It was indeed those three from the Western Regions Holy Sect.
"You again!"
The Heavenly Dog, having been sneak-attacked and revealing its sly demeanor, now shot a fierce murderous intent from its pupils. Its sharp fangs bared threateningly with every snarl.
It was the Golden Lion and the woman in black, those two scoundrels who had managed to escape from its clutches and were now sneak attacking, injuring it. The Demon’s ferocious nature was thus fully displayed.
Meanwhile, Gongyang Jianshan’s silver pupils burst forth with blazing light upon the sudden appearance of the trio, flickering slightly.
Three Tao Fruits!
Among them, the red-haired, skull-necklace wearing, and red-eyed Great Han was on the same realm as him, having stepped into the Third Layer of Tao Fruit.
The opponent exuded wickedness, but it was evident that the target was the Heavenly Dog.
No, his gaze followed theirs towards the noble Hu Woman standing atop the Heavenly Dog’s head!
It was for this woman!
However, this was unimportant. The corners of his mouth curled into a smirk, his eyes turning fierce.
At this moment, the red-haired and blue-eyed protector of the Holy Sect looked at An Ge with smiling eyes,
"General Gongyang, this woman belongs to us, haha, she’s just a bit disobedient, making us search hard for her. I’m going to take her away. You wouldn’t mind, would you, General Gongyang?"
"Oh, it’s possible, but you guys will have to help me slaughter this beast."
Gongyang Jianshan raised an eyebrow and then smiled, chuckling.
"Naturally!" The red-haired protector of the Holy Sect let out a fierce laugh, and immediately his body turned into a blur, piercing through the air with a screeching blast.
"Go!"
In an instant, four Tao Fruits, including two on the Third Layer of the Tao Fruit, surrounded and assaulted both the Heavenly Dog and An Ge.
The Heavenly Dog went into a frenzy, howling repeatedly, its Demon Body erupting with blinding white light. It transformed into its second form, its entire physique turned snow-white, its green eyes reddened, suddenly splitting into several Demon Body duplicates, four in total, to face the four attackers.
Soon, the battlefield in this place vibrated the void, the pinnacle confrontation under the Martial Vault was impressive enough, even affecting the city below, stirring panic and scattering.
About half a cup of tea later,
From the north, there suddenly came a series of ground-shaking noises.
Trot, trot, trot, trot...
The sound grew closer and clearer, like countless hooves trampling rivers and mountains, thunderously approaching, making hearts tremble with fear.
Instantly, below the Southern City, cries of alarm arose.
"The Demon Suppression Envoy’s army has arrived!"
In the battle situation with the Heavenly Dog, the red-haired protector of the Holy Sect heard this tremendous noise from the north and his face stiffened.
He did not trust Gongyang Jianshan and had to take the Princess of Loulan away. The skull necklace around his neck suddenly flew out, each skull swelling in the wind, becoming about a meter in size, totaling over a hundred. From within, shrill and eerie cries of ghosts and howls of wolves were heard, charging towards An Ge, who was conjuring sword light atop the Heavenly Dog’s head.
The heads exploded one by one, startling with demonic sound, blasting the Heavenly Dog into painful whimpers, and its surrounding duplicates scattered.
The red-haired protector’s face twisted fiercely, "This beast is severely injured by me, attack!"
Then he charged straight at An Ge.
At that moment, the Heavenly Dog, with its disheveled fur and blurred flesh in several places, its eyes dangerously red, was about to curse someone out when suddenly the light changed, and it gave a fierce, toothy grin,
"That guy finally arrived!"
The four of them were still unclear about what was going on. Suddenly, from the south, they heard an approaching tumult, shaking the ground.
"Boom"
"Boom"
"Boom"
"....."
As the sound grew clearer and more urgent, like a rapid drumbeat, it seemed as if a giant was frantically making his way over!
