Bowing one’s head usually meant obedience and servitude.
However, Zhang Ping’s bow didn’t carry a hint of this feeling.
…
In Central Continent City, when Zhang Ping lowered his head, two red robed Purgatory Mountain Divine Adjudicators suddenly brought over several slave cultivators with sluggish expressions. They suddenly appeared in front of the southern outskirts’ Central Continent Guard main army encampment.
These two young Purgatory Mountain red robed Divine Adjudicators and the sluggish expressioned slave cultivators dropped from the sky.
A giant Devilmask Dove screamed above.
Over a thousand Central Continent Guards dressed in silver armor surrounded these two calm young Divine Adjudicators and the slave cultivators several dozen meters from the camp.
“Please receive the mandate of heaven, execute Lin the traitor.”
The two young Divine Adjudicators looked calmly at the main army’s commander Yan Shaoqing, moreover calmly spoke about their request and wishes. They were hoping that Yan Shaoqing would immediately set out troops, lead tens of thousands of Central Continent Guards into Central Continent City, suppress and kill Lin Xi who killed Yunqin Emperor.
“Enough!”
While these two Purgatory Mountain red robed Divine Adjudicators began to denounce Lin Xi like they were preaching a message, a Central Continent Guard high ranking officer released a cold shout.
This was Yunqin, it wasn’t Great Mang.
This was especially the case with Green Luan Academy previously already carrying out a purge in the southern outskirts. Right now, the ones who truly grasped Central Continent Guards were all people who tacitly approved of Lin Xi’s decision to have the Imperial Princess take the throne.
That was why when this high ranking officer released this cold shout, cutting off the request of these two Purgatory Mountain Divine Adjudicators, the surrounding officers also immediately began to coldly issue orders. Several dozen soldiers dressed in White Tiger Heavy Armor took the lead, preparing to capture these two Purgatory Mountain Divine Adjudicators first.
After Thousand Leaf Pass’ distinguished meeting, Purgatory Mountain’s elite forces had been practically wiped out. There were basically no outstanding individuals left. However, right now, under the pressure of the silver wall-like army, these two young Divine Adjudicators were exceptionally calm and cool-headed. There didn’t seem to be any expressions visible in their eyes. All of the other emotions within them seemed to have been stripped away from their bodies through a certain method.
“Those who go against our Lord Devil will inevitably fall into purgatory’s blaze without any hope of reprieve.”
When facing the heavy armors and the cold heavy cavalry behind them, these two Purgatory Mountain Divine Adjudicators only lowered their heads, as if chanting some type of scripture.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe high ranking Central Continent Guard officer guarding in front of the main army camp suddenly sensed a terrifying aura from the quiet muttering, almost immediately screaming out the orders ‘kill them!’.
The two Divine Adjudicators still didn’t move. However, the slaves cultivators around them suddenly became feverish. The moment the military order for ‘kill’ sounded, their bodies became the color of lava. Then, these slave cultivators released extremely bitter screams, their bodies starting to burn like volcanoes. Their flesh, bones and all of the soul force in their bodies turned into extremely viscous flames.
The instant the heat was first released, the Yunqin soldiers who were charging couldn’t even open their eyes.
These burning slave cultivators, with these two Purgatory Mountain Divine Adjudicators at the center, began to charge crazily in all directions. While running, their bodies already broke apart like they were melting. The Central Continent Guard soldiers in the distance were horrified to see that their legs instantly vanished, yet their bodies were still crazily running forwards.
Screams of alarm and horror sounded like an ocean tide.
These burning slave cultivators were like several walls of flames as they passed through the Central Continent Guard army’s formation. Several scorched black gorges appeared in their bright silver formation. All of the soldiers in the gorges were completely turned into scorched black corpses.
There was a blazing slave among them that charged straight towards the main army camp.
The Central Continent Guard high ranking officer who gave the military order, as well as all of his attendants and officers collapsed under extreme horror, dying under the terrifying temperature. The entrance into the main encampment also began to burn, a huge hole opened up.
Yan Shaoqing and two other Central Continent Guards watched all of this with disbelief.
Even the tar-like ashes that were left behind more than ten meters in front of them was releasing shocking heat.
While the soldiers around them could barely open their eyes, they saw that the two young Divine Adjudicators already raised their heads, starting to follow the scorched black gorges towards the main army camp.
Miserable screams sounded in the skies again.
The Central Continent Guards promptly took action under shock and grief. Over a hundred arrows shot out fiercely, covering these two red robed Divine Adjudicators. More than ten arrows penetrated the red robes they wore, digging deeply into their bodies.
However, what immediately made the eyes of Yan Shaoqing and the other two high ranking officers in the burning camp narrow was that there weren't any flesh ripping sounds coming from these two Purgatory Mountain red robed Divine Adjudicators. Even the sounds that were released were just muffled noises like rotten wood being struck.
They were horrified to see that these two Purgatory Mountain red robed Divine Adjudicators were still coldly advancing.
“Praise my Lord Devil, gain eternal life.”
The two Purgatory Mountain Divine Adjudicators looked at the horrified Yan Shaoqing and the other two high ranking officers, reciting this with a voice only the two of them and Yan Shaoqing’s group could hear.
The two high ranking officers immediately released a fierce scream, charging forward.
The weapons in their hands both hacked into these two Purgatory Mountain Divine Adjudicators’ necks.
Their blades cut through a small half of these two Divine Adjudicators’ necks, but not a drop of blood spilled out. The young Divine Adjudicators didn’t immediately go unconscious and cease resisting from having the connection to their brains severed, thus losing their power to resist and having their heads fly.
Two green colored chains flew out from their sleeves, stabbing into the chests of these two officers and coming out through the back.
After a final bitter scream, the two officers’ heads drooped powerlessly.
The two Purgatory Mountain red robed Divine Adjudicators who still had their blades planted in their necks were still calm. Their lips continued to recite words, their bodies pressing against the two officials as they charged at Yan Shaoqing.
A pu noise sounded. A wave of blood spurted out from between Yan Shaoqing’s brows.
What was planted fiercely between his brows wasn’t a green chain from these two Purgatory Mountain red robed Divine Adjudicators, but rather an arrow that descended from above.
…
Inside the southern outskirts Central Continent Guard camp, there was a fast transformation happening.
Meanwhile, in the street where Zhang Ping faced Lin Xi and the others, a shocking transformation that left all of the spectating Central Continent City cultivators appalled took place.
The instant Zhang Ping lowered his head, Nangong Weiyang’s flying sword already arrived at his chest.
A Sea Fiend King figure carrying tremendous vital energy seemed to be holding her flying sword, instantly crossing the void. The instant Zhang Ping lowered his head, the sword’s tip already truly made contact with the armor in front of his chest. Sparks were already flying between the sharp sword edge and the armor.
However, at this instant, dazzling golden strands shot out from all of the runes covering Zhang Ping’s body again!
A wave that was similarly boundless, but different from the aura of a cultivator surged from his armor!
This power didn’t come from his body, but rather from deep within the armor!
An explosive noise sounded!
Nangong Weiyang’s flying sword was almost smashed apart on the spot, spinning as it flew outwards.
The azure Sea Fiend King’s void avatar exploded with a rumbling noise, turning into endless heavy azure water droplets that battered Zhang Ping’s body.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmZhang Ping’s entire figure buckled, sent flying backwards.
Zhang Ping’s head was still lowered, not raised. However, when his body landed on the ground, all of the runes on his body’s sapphire colored armor were still flickering.
This sapphire colored armor once again charged at Lin Xi and Nangong Weiyang with an almost mechanical stance!
Lin Xi’s breathing suddenly stopped.
He immediately recalled the single-wheeled metal puppet, thinking of a certain possibility.
“Zhang Ping!”
He released a furious roar towards the advancing azure armor.
However, Zhang Ping didn’t utter a single sound.
This sapphire armor’s head was still drooped.
“His armor is completely different from all of the armors we currently possess.”
Nangong Weiyang took a deep breath, her voice clearly transmitted to Qin Xiyue and the others’ ears. “This set of armor is like those single-wheeled metal puppets. As long as sacred level power is infused ahead of time… he can even carry out meditation cultivation inside to recover soul force.”
Everyone felt like this was horrifying beyond belief.
Yet all of them knew that this was true.
All of them understood why Zhang Ping had such great confidence from the very beginning, daring to face them alone, to the extent where he even dared to face all of Central Continent City.
Apart from Zhang Pig, no one knew the source of the single-wheeled puppets’ strength. However, in Thousand Leaf Pass, all of them understood extremely clearly that the single-wheeled puppets’ power continued for a long time. While Purgatory Mountain Patriarch was facing them, their strength didn’t seem to wane until they were finally destroyed.
Nangong Weiyang turned around to look at Lin Xi.
Her perception made her certain that this armor couldn’t gather heaven and earth vital energy endlessly like those immortal cultivators Zhang Ping spoke of, the ones that had inexhaustible power. However, because there wasn’t any intense heaven and earth vital energy entering this armor, all of the power came from within.
Power that was accumulated like a water reservoir, as long as it was continuously being drained, it would dry up one day.
However, she already didn’t have much soul force left. She needed to listen to Lin Xi’s arrangements.
“Retreat!”
Lin Xi gave this fierce order again.
His order wasn’t only to his own people, but also towards the limits behind Zhang Ping… the end of the street where densely packed steel figures were already appearing. Central Continent City’s soul weapon heavy armors and heavy cavalry already arrived.
