Chapter 451: Chapter 250: Deathly Silent Plains, Black Abyss River
Translator: 549690339 |
After sweeping through Mountain View Valley and the Plains Mountain Range, the second main force of the Far Suppression Legion continued to advance.
Nearing dusk, they saw a vast city sprawling between the mountains and the plains from a distance.
Outside the city walls, a raging river flowed, surrounding the pitch-black city.
This enormous city was Dugu City, with a vast area and unparalleled prosperity, ranking top ten in the Profound Darkness Domain.
Dugu City.
Since learning that the Profound Darkness Domain had been completely defeated and the Demon Suppression Army was closing in, the battle was imminent, and city defenses were on high alert with all City Protection Arrays activated right away.
Even so, the powerful warriors in the city were all wearing solemn expressions.
In the City Lord’s Mansion, one of the powerful figures looked worried, “City Lord, the Demon Suppression Army’s powerful warriors are about to arrive. Are we sure we’re not retreating?”
The might of the Demon Suppression Army had long been deeply ingrained in people’s hearts.
Not to mention, by now, most of the Profound Darkness Domain had fallen, with the Profound Darkness Sect suffering defeats at every turn.
Now, their Dugu City might be the last defense line, facing the most fierce attack from the Demon Suppression Army. How could those stationed here not feel alarmed?
“Although the Demon Suppression Army is strong, they can’t possibly send too many forces here. We only need to hold out for three more days and ensure Dugu City remains unbroken,” Zong Xiong said with an indifferent expression.
He also wanted to evacuate in time, but he had to obey the sect’s orders.
As for whether they could hold Dugu City for three days, he was unsure, but the current situation did not allow him to show any sign of cowardice.
Otherwise, if morale crumbled, they wouldn’t be able to hold out for half a day, let alone three days.
He then looked up at the rising array in the city.
“I hope this array can hold for a while longer.”
The City Protection Array was his greatest reliance.
Thinking of the great array protecting the city, he felt somewhat relieved.
This City Protection Array, which had consumed a vast amount of resources from the Profound Darkness Sect, would not be easy to break even for a peak Rune Seed Realm martial artist.
With the addition of the power within the city, holding out for a few days should not be a problem.
That was what he thought.
Suddenly,
A strong sense of danger surged from his heart.
He looked up, only to see the sky above suddenly darken, as if it was covered by layers of mist. Then, he saw gigantic figures appear above the sky.
All the powerful figures in the city saw this scene too.
“The Demon Suppression Army has arrived.”
“Quick, all martial artists prepare for battle.”
A warning was issued in Dugu City, and all the martial artists, who were already fully prepared, emerged immediately, filled with fighting spirit.
In the outside world,
Lu Yun looked at the rapidly rising array in Dugu City, his face filled with astonishment.
A mere city had deployed such a vast array, which was quite unexpected.
Above the array, more than a dozen Earth-rank Demon Extermination Generals stood in the air, looking down at the City Protection Array below them.
“Brother Zhuang, Brother Lu, who will break the array?” one of the Earth-rank Demon Extermination Generals said with a smile.
Lu Yun glanced at the man, who was Zhang Wenyun, a Demon Extermination General of the second army. He was ranked just below Bai ChangFeng among the numerous Earth-rank Demon Extermination Generals in the Far Suppression Legion.
“With Brother Zhang here, we don’t need to make a fool of ourselves,” Zhuang Ziyuan said with a faint smile.
Lu Yun slightly nodded as well, not showing any intention of making a move, and directly yielded the opportunity to the other party.
“Since that’s the case, leave breaking through the city to me.”
Zhang Wenyun stepped forward without hesitation and arrived right above the City Protection Array.
Golden light flickered in his eyes, and with a single finger, he sent stars falling and shook the City Protection Array violently.
The once flawless array barrier now had a fissure, which was rapidly cracking in all directions at a visible speed.
“Not good, a peak Rune Seed Realm martial artist has made a move,” Zong Xiong’s heart clenched in Dugu City, looking at the shattered array barrier in the sky, a sense of horror filled his heart.
His worst fear had come true. Now, all he could hope for was that the array could hold out a while longer.
Outside,
Zhang Wenyun looked at the cracked barrier below his feet, his face slightly tense.
“Impressive defense,” he said.
The casual strike he had just thrown carried the power comparable to an ordinary peak Rune Seed martial artist.
However, such power did not immediately shatter the array, which surprised him.
He knew that Dugu City was just a city, not a particularly important location.
Moreover, in the subordinate forces of the Profound Darkness Sect, city protection arrays were not available for the cities.
Now, as they approached the core area of the Profound Darkness Sect, the city they encountered had an array comparable to those of other subordinate sects.
It was clear that the foundation of the Profound Darkness Sect was far beyond its subordinate forces.
But Zhang Wenyun wasn’t too shocked.
Although the current array was strong, it couldn’t hold him back, let alone the Demon Suppression Army behind him.
As he was finding it intriguing, a mysterious force rose from the array below, mending the cracks on the barrier.
Seeing this, Zhang Wenyun’s eyes turned cold.
He directly struck down towards the barrier with his palm.
Divine Ability of the Rune Seed: Mountain Shattering Palm.
The enormous Dugu City was directly covered by a giant palm that resembled a mountain. All the martial artists in the city felt the sky tremble, and the earth crack, their eyes filled with horror as they looked up.
What they saw was a giant palm like a mountain.
Crack.
The City Protection Array shattered.
The array that could normally block an average peak Rune Seed Realm martial artist had no way of resisting Zhang Wenyun, this powerful low-rank Demon Extermination General, when he unleashed his full strength.
