“Heiyi, Qing Zhuo, slaughter those soldiers!”
The twin dragons called out simultaneously, even more towering and ferocious than those dragon horses.
The Lei Cang Violent Dragon stood like a tall tower, its roar bellowing, causing the eardrums of the more than a thousand soldiers in front of it to nearly burst.
The Divine Green Holy Dragon swung its wings, their feathers as sharp as iron blades, and as it skimmed the ground, it cleaved through hundreds of soldiers from the Dragon Horse Camp.
Arrows and axes fell upon the scales of the Lei Cang Violent Dragon which felt as if it was merely being tickled; with its size and the ferocity of a Tyrant Dragon, it had the greatest advantage in battles like this one.
The incoming arrows and the deep axe cuts that landed on its body were essentially energizing its scales. Not long into the battle, the Lei Cang Violent Dragon’s entire body was surging with lightning, with exaggerated arcs of electricity leaping along its spine.
As it charged wildly into the crowd, the Lei Cang Violent Dragon’s storm raged, leaving hundreds of soldiers shattered and pulverized as if the street’s gang of soldiers had been completely cleared out in an instant!
“Whoosh!”
With those soldiers no longer serving as human shields, the Sword Spirit Dragon swiftly flew towards the arrow masters riding dragon horses.
These arrow masters were the strongest force of the Dragon Horse Camp; their combined volley could threaten even those with Monarch-level cultivation.
The Sword Spirit Dragon glided like a swimming dragon, its sword light sharp and swift, decapitating ten arrow masters riding dragon horses in an instant!
Seeing the Sword Spirit Dragon break through, the leader holding the Mysterious Iron Bow widened his eyes and, with an annoyed roar, raised his bow and let loose a barrage at the Sword Spirit Dragon.
The arrows were fearsome, each one scraping off large swathes of the rocky ground, and could likely have penetrated and shattered mountains if any were in their path.
The Sword Spirit Dragon, dodging these guided arrows, suddenly made a vertical chop, splitting a Lord-level arrow master in half!
The Lord-level arrow master, clad in purple armor with a dragon horse helmet, was caught mid-pose drawing the bowstring, only to be killed alongside the dragon horse beneath him, sliced into two.
“Ring Ring Ring Ring!!!!”
Suddenly, several tracking arrows nailed themselves into the blade of the Sword Spirit Dragon, which was knocked back and spiraled down towards a pile of building rubble.
Zhu Minglang, from his vantage point, immediately directed the Sword Spirit Dragon with his thoughts, allowing it to seamlessly vanish into the night!
“Sword Flash Shadow Fold!”
Zhu Minglang and the Sword Spirit Dragon were a kilometer apart, but it did not hinder the synergy between Zhu Minglang and the Sword Spirit Dragon.
Lie low to avoid the limelight, then counterattack viciously!
As the Mysterious Iron Bow leader was sneering, he suddenly saw a crooked flash of light at the ruins of the building, like a bolt of lightning streaking across the sky, starting from one arrow master’s chest and piercing through to the thirtieth arrow master’s back!!
Thirty arrow masters, all Divine and Mortals, and after extensive training and nurturing, costing untold wealth, were all slain by a single sword strike!
The Mysterious Iron Bow leader’s face twitched; he never imagined that this time they would hit such a tough nail, with his soldiers being reaped like weeds, and these elite arrow masters struggling to survive!
The Dragon Horse Camp, in this assault, had brought along a total of a hundred arrow masters, and now forty were killed, nearly half already gone.
They attacked a small and weak city, and they didn’t suffer such huge losses.
“Kill!! Kill for me!!!” the leader of the Mysterious Iron Bow turned red with rage, no longer caring about the cost!
Zhu Minglang stood on a high place, coldly watching these armies come to die.
Did they really think that he, the new City Lord, could be easily bullied?
Or was it that these army bullies had run amok here for too long and no longer paid any heed to anyone?
However, Zhu Minglang now understood why the Contract Book of Runyu City had never been bought; without his own formidable strength, the moment one entered the city to assume office, they would be shot to death by the chaotic arrows of the Dragon Horse Camp!
To deal with a large number of soldiers, the Lei Cang Violent Dragon was indeed more efficient. The Sword Dragon was suitable for slaughtering these Divine and Mortals; with one sword strike, a Divine and Mortal would surely perish—be they Sub-level, or General-level, even those with a Lord-level cultivation base could not escape the slash of the Sword Spirit Dragon.
The battle wasn’t much different from the previous ones; even though this army camp was ferocious, Zhu Minglang could still stand in a safe place, patiently waiting for his dragon pets to annihilate them all.
When crucial, he would issue a command, occasionally merging his thought with the Sword Spirit to execute a few Flying Sword Techniques, and then the enemy would crumble into disorder.
“Kill all the Arrow Masters.” Zhu Minglang focused on those Arrow Masters with cultivation bases.
There were many soldiers, all of them but common folk with a bit of brute strength. The quantity of those he killed didn’t matter. As long as they lost their will to fight and were allowed to flee, it did not matter.
As for the Arrow Masters riding on dragon horses, Zhu Minglang would not let them escape.
Today was his first day on duty, and he was attacked right at his doorstep by a daredevil army camp. If Runyu City had any law at all, and if he didn’t eradicate them all, who knew how many more arrogant fools would cause trouble at his door in the future.
To establish order, one could only use violence. Zhu Minglang couldn’t possibly lecture these rogue armies that occupied Runyu City about benevolence and morality. It was just unfortunate and foolish for the Dragon Horse Camp to offend him!
“Don’t chase them, let the Copper Knife Army go and level their camp,” said Li Yunzi.
Zhu Minglang had already dealt with the elite of the Dragon Horse Camp; letting the Copper Knife Army finish the job seemed appropriate. Otherwise, the one million gold hiring fee would have been wasted.
“My lady, you’ve been frightened. I didn’t expect these bully camps would dare to come here to kill,” Zhu Minglang said.
“Star Painting had planted some medicinal herbs; she is going to be upset when she wakes up,” Li Yunzi looked at the ruined potted plants in the yard and sighed softly.
“It seems we have been too lenient with the armed forces of this city,” Zhu Minglang said coldly.
As someone with the Contract Book, this city belonged to him. These forces in Runyu City had taken over like it was their own, and it was bad enough that he couldn’t drive them out. But coming to his residence to kill? If he had not had his cultivation base, wouldn’t his entire family have been slaughtered?
While talking, there was a loud rumble from the street, sounding like a stampede, making the ground tremble.
Zhu Minglang frowned, thinking more uninvited guests had arrived. When he looked towards the end of the street, he saw Hu Bailing riding back on a Giant Elephant Dragon, followed by a great herd of Dragon Beasts, their momentum overwhelming!
However, Hu Bailing soon noticed the corpses strewn across the ground—soldiers and Divine and Mortals alike. After a while, she rode up on the Giant Elephant Dragon with a face full of astonishment.
“We came back as soon as we heard the news. Did you kill all these people from the Dragon Horse Camp?” Hu Bailing asked, somewhat in disbelief.
