The Great Wild God - Chapter 426
Chapter 426 Princess Yanling
Chen Xun stood on the city wall of Qingjiang City with his hands behind his back. The City Lord of Qingjiang City didn’t show his face. He didn’t know if he had already escaped the city with his family. The general in charge of guarding Qingjiang City was an outer sect disciple named Ge Tianhai from the Xuandu Sect.
Just like the Divine Night Sect back then, the outer sect disciples of the Xuandu Sect had no hope of cultivating Spirit Essence. They advanced into the Heavenly Essence Realm and became the direct descendants of the sect. The vast majority of them would choose to go down the mountain and enter the secular society to build their families and businesses.
This was also one of the main methods used by the Xuandu Sect to control the counties of the Northern Region.
However, the Xuandu Cult had been operating the Zhou Wu Mountain defensive line in the north all these years. Not only were the two Grand Elders of the Heavenly Human Realm in the sect guarding Zhou Wu Mountain, but other Dharma Aspect and Origin Core Realm experts had also transferred over half of their resources to Zhou Wu Mountain, causing the Xuandu Cult’s control over the southern region to be greatly weakened.
The Profound Capital Sect’s Origin Core warriors were more than 10,000 kilometers away from Qingjiang City, and the Profound Capital Sect’s sect was 60,000 kilometers away. At this moment, Ge Tianhai reported that it was completely too late to request reinforcements from the elders of the sect. He could only place his hopes on Chen Xun, the Azure Water Marquis who had led the army to resist the demons in the Northwest Domain over the past few years.
He thought to himself, the people of the Divine Feng Camp had ulterior motives, but the Azure Water Marquis Chen Xun reported to the Grand Heavenly Dao, so he shouldn’t sit here and watch the lives of Qing Jiang City fall into misery, right?
Chen Xun stared fixedly at the river more than ten miles downstream. Although the Azure Scaled Giant Sly had yet to break free from the black gold net, it rushed out of the river and was forty to fifty meters tall, no shorter than the Dragon Fang Boat of the Divine Feng Camp.
The commander of the seventh battalion of the Divine Feng Camp, Peng Xingtian, finally moved the two dragon-fanged ships to the upper reaches of the Qing River in an attempt to chase the giant azure-scaled crafty down from the West Zehai Sea before finding a way to capture it alive.
The Azure Scaled Giant Sly had been trapped by a giant black-gold net for several days without being able to break free. It was already extremely irritated. Even if Divine Feng Camp made way for the downstream passageway, it did not run in the direction of the West Zehai Sea. Instead, it rushed towards Qingjiang City.
Perhaps the Demon Sly was afraid that the Divine Feng Camp would deliberately let go of the passageway downstream as a trap. It roared and roared angrily, stirring up a thousand waves. Its huge lantern-sized pupils emitted a fierce light like jade flames. It actually wanted to destroy Qingjiang City before it was willing to give up.
“Retreat!” Seeing the demonic craftsmanship exploding, Peng Xingtian ordered to retreat and temporarily avoid the demonic craftsmanship’s sharpness.
The Divine Feng Camp relied on the giant black-gold net to bind the Azure Scaled Giant Sly. There were two more dragon-fanged ships attacking from the upper and lower reaches. They could barely keep undefeated. They had no choice but to exhaust the Azure Scaled Giant Sly for a while. They could only think of exhausting the Demon Sly, but they were unable to intercept the Demon Sly outside of Azure River City.
Seeing that the demon crafty was about to charge towards Qingjiang City, Feng Yi turned around and saw Chen Xun standing on the wall of Qingjiang City. It was as if a layer of fog was covering his face. The distance between them was not more than ten miles, but he was actually unable to see the expression on Chen Xun’s face clearly.
“If I don’t resist twice, I’ll let this demonic cunning directly trample on Qingjiang City. I’m afraid I won’t be able to get a clear picture of this mess.” Feng Yi reminded Peng Xingtian via voice transmission.
“Hmph!” Peng Xingtian snorted coldly. “He’s just a rank six general. He just wants to point fingers at our Divine Feng Camp. He might not really think highly of himself. This demonic cunning is so fierce. Could it be that he wants everyone to use their lives to fill it?”
Feng Yi couldn’t see through Chen Xun’s depth, but in Peng Xingtian’s eyes, Chen Xun was only at the Origin Core Realm. As the commander of the seventh battalion of the Divine Feng Camp, how could he truly obey Chen Xunwei?
Originally, they had been instructed to use the Jade Eyes Sly to destroy Qingjiang City and see the reaction of the Xuandu Sect. However, Chen Xun happened to catch up with them. Relying on Pin Yi being taller than him, he ordered them to concentrate their strength and drive the Demon Sly downstream to the West Zehai Sea to avoid injuring hundreds of thousands of innocent people in Qingjiang City. He could not directly ignore Chen Xun’s orders.
At this moment, the demon craftsmanship rushed towards Qingjiang City, and the two Dragon Fang Boats were unable to withstand it. How could Peng Xingtian sacrifice the lives of the generals to stop the demon craftsmanship?
The guards standing on the city wall looked at the huge waves that were more than ten zhang tall and pushed towards the city wall one after another. Their faces were tense and their courage was slightly lower. Both sides began to tremble.
“The Dragon Fang Boat of the Divine Feng Camp, are you retreating to the side?” Someone saw that the situation was wrong and shouted out in panic.
There were only two ordinary defensive formations in Qingjiang City. They could barely protect the city wall built on the river bank. The huge waves rushed over, and the dim protective spirit shield could be destroyed at any time. If the two Dragon Fang Boats of Divine Feng Camp hadn’t intercepted them in front, what would happen if the giant azure-scaled sly headed straight for Qingjiang City?
Everyone’s faces were filled with panic. If it weren’t for the fact that more than 200 cultivators had gathered on the city wall and the fact that the guards hadn’t crushed Ge Tianhai’s QinBing, some of the ordinary guards would have left their weapons and fled long ago.
Most of the more than 200 cultivators gathered on the city wall came from small and medium-sized sects nearby. There were also people like Zhou Chuan who happened to pass by this place, but most of them were only at the late True Yang Realm or early Reincarnation Realm.
They had long ago seen how powerful this demonic trick was, and knew that it was not something that their loose low-level cultivators could resist.
At this time, there were cultivators retreating one after another. They only brought the relatives of Qingjiang City over the towering city walls to the south of the city.
At the southern gate of Qingjiang City, the narrow city gate was currently filled with people who wanted to flee the city.
Ge Tianhai’s expression was grim, but he stood on the city wall like a rock that was indestructible. Under the suppression of his personal soldiers, the ordinary soldiers barely held their posts and did not disperse in a rush.
Apart from that, there were only Zhou Chuan, Senior Brother Zhao, the black-faced man, and more than 30 other people who were still guarding the city wall. However, their eyes were all fixed on Chen Xun, and they didn’t know if the famous Marquis of Azure Water could stop this ferocious beast outside Qingjiang City.
“You evil beast, eat my hammer!” The fur under the green-eyed sly giant pupils was clearly visible. The black-faced man couldn’t help but pick out a pair of pitch-black giant hammers and jump out of the city wall towards the demon sly.
“You bastard, don’t rush to your death at this moment.” Chen Xun saw the black-faced man rashly rush out and stretched out his hand to grab him, releasing boundless energy, forcefully pulling the black-faced man back from midair.
The black-faced man’s face turned purple. He wanted to break free from Chen Xun’s restraints and roared angrily, “Marquis Cang Lan, your cultivation is outstanding. Old Mountain can’t force you to attack now. However, when the fierce battle is brought into Qingjiang City, let alone those unarmed civilians, how many people can survive in this city?”
Chen Xun smiled in his heart. He didn’t expect that although this black-faced man was reckless, he possessed a rare true temperament. He said, “Who said that this demonic crafty could get close to Qingjiang City?”
“Marquis Azure Water, no matter how deep your cultivation is, you have at most fought against this demonic cunning before. If you don’t fight it outside the city, how can you guarantee that it won’t destroy Qingjiang City?” The black-faced man said angrily.
Chen Xun faintly smiled. He took out the Purple Night Thunder Tower and threw it into the air. The three-inch tower grew when the wind blew in the air. It instantly transformed into a six-foot-tall copper tower that emitted a flash of light. It landed on a stone rock that stretched its head out of the shallow water outside the city wall, sealing off the path of the Demon Sly towards Qingjiang City.
In the blink of an eye, the tens of meters tall waves around him also stopped moving and were suppressed by the Purple Night Lightning Tower.
“Peng Xingtian,” Chen Xunchao shouted loudly, “If you don’t take this demonic trick, I’ll surrender and become a mount.”
Peng Xingtian stood on the deck of the Dragonteeth Ark. The expression on his face was uncertain. This demonic trick was favored by the little princess. He had led his subordinates to fight with this demonic trick for ten days, so he naturally wasn’t willing to be snatched away by Chen Xun. However, he and Chen Xun weren’t subordinate to each other. Chen Xun’s general rank was even higher than his. At this moment, he shrank aside and didn’t make a move. If this demonic trick really made Chen Xun surrender, he had no reason to get it back.
“That bronze tower magical artifact is so powerful!” Feng Yi and the others stood two to three thousand meters away. When they opened their eyes and saw the Copper Thunder Tower Chen Xun had placed on the stone rock, they felt that it was still dazzling. They secretly felt that this tower was a Heaven Ranked supreme treasure no matter what. They all said that the Kui Dragon Pavilion was the number one artifact refining sect in the Northwest Region. Chen Xun carried countless treasures with him. It seemed that he was not exaggerating at all.
“Which ignorant fellow actually wants to seize the spirit beast that this imperial daughter likes!” A clear and tender shout came from the clouds. A wisp of light clouds suddenly dispersed, releasing an extremely dazzling golden sword light that slashed towards Chen Xun.
Chen Xun narrowed his eyes. With his divine soul cultivation, he was actually unable to see through the sword light. He could clearly see who the woman who claimed to be the imperial daughter was. He immediately summoned the Purple Night Lightning Tower to release a golden bolt of lightning that shattered the incomparably sharp sword light.
“Black Tea, Scarlet Sea, Snake Wuxin, Old Jin, the four of you, go stop the demon cunning, don’t let it destroy Qingjiang City!” Chen Xun waved his hand, and the Purple Night Lightning Pagoda that grew heavier and heavier began to gently float in the wind. Following that, it turned into a streak of light and flew into the sky.
Chen Xun wasn’t sure if the woman hiding above the floating clouds was King of Qing’s beloved daughter, but since she couldn’t help but attack him first, he naturally wasn’t afraid that his counterattack wouldn’t be unreasonable.
Even though there were still no figures in the sky after the clouds scattered, Chen Xun’s divine sense was already capable of locking onto that faint aura when the Purple Night Thunder Tower flew into the air. Three golden thunder bolts flew out from the Thunder Tower and raged towards him.
At that moment, the void trembled, causing one to suspect that the spatial profound wall was about to be blasted open by these three golden thunder bolts.
“Ah!” With a miserable cry, a figure suddenly appeared in the sky. It was a young girl dressed in azure skirts. Her entire body was shrouded in a layer of azure profound light. She was actually able to forcefully withstand the bombardment of three golden thunder bolts.
Chen Xun sneered in his heart. This woman was able to conceal her divine sense from him at a height of 10,000 feet. He thought that her cultivation was very strong. It turned out that she was only relying on a few magic treasures. She was not a true peak Dharma Form Realm expert.
However, he didn’t know what kind of magic treasure she was hiding in her breathing restraint form, but it was actually within a ten thousand zhang radius. He didn’t even have the slightest sense of it.
Seeing that the Azure Water Marquis Chen Xun wanted to destroy the Copper Tower and attack the Imperial Daughter angrily, Peng Xingtian’s expression changed drastically. He didn’t expect that the Azure Water Marquis Chen Xun wouldn’t be able to take action. He actually had the might to annihilate gods and slaughter devils. Without caring too much, he directly threw out the halberd in his hand, transforming it into a beam of light that shocking might. Chen Xun attacked.
Chen Xun clenched his fist with his left hand. Lightning faintly flickered as he punched the halberd that Peng Xingtian had thrown. He never imagined that this halberd would actually be a rare top-grade Earth-ranked magic treasure. After eating his Fragmentary Star Fist, it was completely unharmed, and he quickly flew back to Peng Xingtian’s side.
“Peng Xingtian, do you dare to offend me? Are you courting death?” Chen Xun said angrily.
Peng Xingtian didn’t expect Chen Xun’s bare-handed punch to be so powerful that it almost shattered the divine soul aura he had attached to the halberd. He was shocked, “Is this still the cultivation level that an Origin Core warrior should possess?”
Peng Xingtian forcefully suppressed the origin soul shock and said with difficulty, “Please calm down, True Master Chen. Princess Yanling is King of Qing’s beloved daughter. If anything happens, I can’t bear it.”
“Daughter of the Imperial Clan, how dare you attack and kill Great General God-controller Mansion? What is your crime?” Chen Xun asked with a straight face.
“Chen Xun, this imperial daughter wants to kill you today. What can you do to me?” Princess Yanling’s face turned ashen with anger, and she chopped towards Chen Xun with another ray of sword light.
Chen Xun smiled in his heart. What a coquettish and arrogant thing. He thought to himself that the protective magic treasure she carried with her could block three golden thunder bolts. He didn’t know if he could receive five golden thunder bolts at the same time!
The Purple Night Lightning Tower was able to store nine golden thunder bolts in advance. Of the four that he had used earlier, there were five left. It was just the right time for this Princess Yanling to taste it.
Seeing the five golden thunder bolts, Zi Zi struggled out of the Copper Thunder Tower like five golden flood dragons, Peng Xingtian was so frightened that he shouted, “Princess, run!” Immediately, he withdrew from the small thundercloud net that bound Jade-eyed Sly and turned into a dark cloud as he headed towards the five golden thunderclouds …
