Mountain Patrol Military Officer-Chapter 978 - 651: Slaughtering All Four Directions! (Part 2)
The celestial being must die. Its destructive power is enormous and impossible to defend against. Keeping it alive would only bring disaster. No matter how the King of Beiliang tries to stop me, my resolve to kill him has never wavered.
Holding a long spear, he pointed at Xiao Zhongtian, his gaze indifferent, his voice like ice and iron,
"Your Majesty, stop wasting your efforts."
"Your people support you so ardently, yet there are many wise ones here who are forced onto your ship, swept along. Should you fail or die by my hand, they won’t need me to lift a finger—they will eradicate everyone in your mansion to prove their innocence."
"In the end, it’s all for nothing!"
"What use is there in exchanging so many words with me? I will surely kill the celestial. If you continue to oppose me,"
"I will send you all on the same path!"
Speaking the last sentence, Chen Yuan’s voice chilled the clouds.
"Heaven ignites killing intent, moving stars and changing the dipper"
As his words fell, the starry sky above Chen Yuan trembled violently. The stars in the heavenly Star River, distantly isolated by the vast starry sky, suddenly drew near, becoming extraordinarily clear.
Immediately, the entire starry sky seemed like a celestial chessboard overturned by an almighty hand, stars falling from the firmament, their glow intensifying, igniting a fierce fire.
Rumble, heaven and earth instantly exploded.
The starry sky tore apart like heaven splitting asunder.
The winds suddenly halted, then transformed into a backward rolling Wind Mastery, pressing downward with immense force, as if the entire firmament had abruptly lowered.
In that moment, countless stars descended from the sky as if heavens collapsed, showering flaming meteors, akin to an apocalypse.
This gate’s Heaven-inspired Killing Intent Life and Death Technique was deployed to reverse slaughter the celestial in battle half a year ago, and it manifests once more now!
Yet today is different from before. Back then, Chen Yuan had just overcome Martial Saint; now, he’s ascended to the Second Floor, just a step away from breaking the void. To deploy this technique again is indeed the true apocalyptic sight—Life and Death Technique!
As this grand technique emerges, the sky shattered, fiery meteors accompanied by terrifying roars descend en masse. Beneath, in Liangzhou City, the tumultuous anger and curses vanish entirely.
Countless people’s eyes widened in disbelief, feeling the surrounding air tighten, as if someone clutched their throats, suffocating and choking them, a heavenly pressure descending, facing the dread of death, silencing all.
This time, there was no Holy Bronze Umbrella from Helian Mountain like before, guarding Jingguan City and protecting Liangzhou City.
The entire mighty city of Liangzhou, under such celestial power, felt like a small boat in a storm, violently shaking, the earth cracking, many houses collapsing to the ground, mixed cries of panic and fear resounding.
Meanwhile, across the void, Xiao Zhongtian watched the sky stained red by heavenly fire, his eyelids twitched involuntarily, finally enraged and alarmed,
"Chen Yuan, do you truly intend to push things to the extreme,"
"If you recklessly slaughter my Liangzhou citizens today, your Martial Saint’s name will only be reviled by the world."
He thought he truly wanted to fight Chen Yuan, after years of patience, it seemed completely unworthy. He mobilized everything, making a grand show, even had to reveal his Martial Saint True Form, just to force the renowned Martial Saint out, making Chen Yuan cautious.
But Chen Yuan’s resolve to kill is as solid as iron, completely ignoring all threats, relentless until the goal is reached, and instead he finds himself thoroughly cornered!
A chill rose in Xiao Zhongtian’s heart, knowing Chen Yuan’s ruthless iron blood, having slaughtered through the Demon Battlefield, hearing of it long before, experiencing it today, leaving him helpless, positioned precariously, losing all initiative.
How infuriating!
Chen Yuan simply replied coldly,
"The karma will only be accounted to the Prince! Since you rebelled, if the ones dying today aren’t Liangzhou citizens, the ones dying tomorrow will be my Shu people and soldiers, and the world will have me to thank."
These words clearly expressed Chen Yuan’s stance, reaching this point with countless White Bones underfoot, accustomed to death, heart as hard as iron, long devoid of compassion—if enemies aren’t killed today, he or his loved ones may be slain one by one, who then would sympathize?
Simply a laughing matter.
And Xiao Zhongtian, seething with rage, suddenly let out a bitter laugh,
"Good, good, good."
"Let’s see how you intend to handle me today?"
As these words fell, a long jiao chant arose, echoing through the nine heavens, as the fiery red sky seemed torn by an invisible giant hand, auspicious brilliance enveloping the void where Xiao Zhongtian stood. Beneath him, the black gold jiao unleashed its head, soaring into the sky, swirling upwards, its scales emitting black golden clouds that wrapped around Xiao Zhongtian’s ankles, quickly creeping upward with his robes, enveloping him.
Next, the King of Beiliang unexpectedly merged with the Qi Fortune Flood Dragon cultivated by the Royal Beiliang Mansion’s fortune.
The jiao rapidly transformed, the horn on its forehead withdrew, bulges emerged on both sides, its originally blunt snout elongated, turning sharp, two whiskers appearing on its chin, a row of fierce bone spurs breaking through its armor along its spine, resonating amidst the Wind Mastery.
As the King of Beiliang’s figure gradually overlapped with the jiao’s armored body in the gray mist, the python robe’s pattern and the jiao’s scale fibers interpenetrated, black cloth fabric turned into flowing ink brilliance, integrating into every piece of jiao’s scale armor.
The limbs transformed most intensely, short limbs violently surged, claws slashing purple lightning, forelimbs growing dragon horn-like bone spurs, hind limbs swelling in musculature like mountain ranges, jiao tail fins shedding, becoming bone spur steel whips, smashing clouds, slicing through space. As the last trace of cloud gas merged into the jiao’s head, the beast’s eyes that initially glowed ghostly green suddenly opened, golden vertical pupils somberly rolling, and subsequently, the jiao’s body expanded visibly, transforming into a massive entity of over ten miles, overwhelmingly occupying the void, delivering an intense visual impact to countless people.
A black dragon appeared before the world, infused with Martial Saint True Technique and a millennium’s King’s Fortune, heralding signs of the "True Dragon"!
"Yin—" The black dragon soared, biting the King’s Seal, five claws tearing the celestial fire clouds, like molten iron Divine Gold forged, a dragon body as enormous as mountain ridges swept through the descending celestial fire.
"Boom boom boom....."
Crushing the stars one after another, unleashing the fierce True Dragon might, roaring across the skies.
Simultaneously, amidst the most fiery expanse of the sky, the three-headed six-armed celestial arose, six arms vibrating, resounding sharply, intricate Tao Fire carved onto numerous light wheels unfurled around its form, then Fierce brows furrowed in rage, six column-like arms wildly danced against the heavenly meteors, five Divine Weapons followed their master crushing through the stars.
In the blink of an eye, one dragon, one celestial fiercely bombarded against the falling stars, directly shattering the skies, fragmented meteors resembling blood from the sky, streaming downwards towards the earth below.
Inside and outside Liangzhou City, the fractured celestial fire ripped the skies, descending down.
"Boom"
"Boom"
"Boom"
The cries of terror converged into a chorus, the once bustling corridor connecting the Western Regions, incandescent flames rising skyward, distant Qilian Mountain Range obscured by rolling smoke.
Countless people screamed, fleeing frantically southward.
And beneath the great formation of the mansion, the celestial fire impacted the formation, shocking everyone inside, too many had already perished.
Because of the East Xuan Mountain Master’s few reinforcements, sent into the barrier by Chen Yuan with Thunder, coupled with the exceptional Dragon and Tiger support, the power of East Xuan Mountain line surged, the new Princely Heir Xiao Ye originally intended for the Worldly Society insiders to battle each other, yet with the East Xuan Mountain Master’s involvement and several deaths, coupled with the dialogue above between the Martial Saint and King of Beiliang, the atmosphere became nuanced, many began shirking efforts.
The new Princely Heir ordered men to continue forward, yet some disobeyed, frightenedly staring at the apocalyptic scenery above, only able to summon two Dragon and Tiger Divine Generals to confront the East Xuan Mountain Master, deploying Beiliang Soldiers.
"The battle has already begun, uncles, at this juncture, are you still contemplating?" The Princely Heir saw through the thoughts of these people, somewhat laughing angrily, his gaze cold.
Some responded with cold laughter, sneers, indeed frightened, looking at the scene above—how could they not fear?
"The Martial Saint moved!"
Suddenly, someone exclaimed.
Seeing above the firmament, moving stars and changing dipper, Chen Yuan moved, the long spear in his hand released a dragon chant, brilliant as a cold star, thrusting towards the celestial being.
