Chapter 1548 – Soldiers
Another large city flew out from the whirlpool, and witeavy press of Tan Shanse’s hand, the large city quickly descended. The entire city was dug out, and in order to ensure the integrity of the large city, it brought along a thick layer of soil that fell like rain.
The Buddha raised his head and looked at the sky. Coincidentally, there was a city gate facing him, and he saw the words on the gate.
Jinling
What kind of place was the Jinling?
The Buddha did not know that he had never been there and had never heard of it.
Of course he wouldn’t know that in the future, there would be an empire called Da Xi that would rise to prominence. That empire’s capital would be Jin’ling.
The Buddha only knew that it wauman city in the Central Plains. A city of this size could only be found in the Central Plains. It was rare for the Western Regions to have a city of this size.
He took a deep breath. It didn’t matter if this was the city of the Central Plains or the city of the Western Regions, it didn’t matter what the story of this place called Jinling was.
But just when the Buddha was preparing to soar into the sky, the Great Thunder Lake Temple’s temple protection array actually opened up a crack once again. One disciple after another flew out from inside, their strength was not considered very strong, just like shooting stars from the ground back to the universe, dazzling.
What kind of scene was that!
Tan Shanse thought that he would make the people from the Buddha Sect fear him because of this. He thought that after he did this, those people would become like the sheep in the lair that he had mentioned, because they would become obedient in the end. Even if they faced slaughter, they would only hide in the corners and tremble, not daring to resist.
He was wrong.
He was completely wrong.
The disciples were crying on the ground earlier, not because they were afraid, but because they were sad over the Great Master’s sacrifice.
What Tan Shanse thought did not happen, but it actually bound the hearts of all the disciples of the Buddhist Sect together.
The disciples flew up and raised their hands to support Sky City.
At this moment, the Buddha’s heart was incomparably excited … That was his disciple, his Buddhist Sect!
Tan Shanse’s expression instead became unsightly. He never thought it would be like this, those people who looked to be trembling from fear to be lambs waiting to be slaughtered, how could they have such explosive power?
Meteors flew off the ground and into the sky. They converged into a galaxy and lifted up the falling Jinling.
He flew backwards while at the same time, both of his hands constantly formed seals. This hand seal was the summoning seal for his main body which was in the Human Realm Above Heavens.
“Destroy one thing for me, and I’ll destroy a million of you.”
Tan Shanse’s hand seals were extremely fast, after dodging the Buddha’s attack, the hand seals were already complete. A huge array appeared on the ground, which was near the Golden Crown’s capital city, and the entire capital city was inside the hand seals!
In the past when he was fighting with Tan Shanse, there had never been a formation of this size that covered the entire capital.
Soon after, the ground shook violently. The Golden Crown had already suffered a destructive attack, and many buildings were destroyed, the people here had just forgotten about the pain from last time, and the second attack came again.
It was more violent than the last time.
The cracks in the ground began to swallow the buildings one by one. The commoners who were running in panic couldn’t do anything, they could only keep on running, but running wasn’t enough to save them.
The gaping hole grew larger and larger, and streams of black gas were spewed out from the ground. Those who were hit by the black gas quickly turned into dried bones, and their flesh and blood would be instantly corroded to nothingness.
The black mist rapidly spread throughout the city, and more and more people died. The dead mist from the dead merged into the black mist, and the ground began to shake more and more violently. It was as if the entire sky above the city was shrouded in a dense black mist.
The experts of the Golden Crown were constantly trying to save him, but their speed of doing so was far less than the speed of death or injury.
A loud boom echoed out!
The entire city sank … There were too many cracks on the ground. When the black qi surged up, the ground shook and then completely sank down after a few cracks. Countless people were swallowed up into the huge abyss.
A bone covered hand stretched out from the abyss, grabbing the edge of the abyss, followed by another one, two hands grabbing the edge of the abyss with force, a huge body rushed out from the abyss.
After both hands camair-raising head, with only bones left, and also incomplete flesh. That face looked so hideous that even those who survived by luck would not be able to forget the terror brought about by that face for the rest of their lives.
Giant climbed out of the abyss, which seemed to be taller than a snowy mountain.
Last time, the Golden Crow that Tan Shanse brought back had already caused great harm to everyone. This time, the summoner seemed to be even stronger, since it was once standing at the highest point in the universe, and the amount of unparalleled beasts it had subdued was not small. However, what had appeared this time was not a beast, but a giant, a real person!
“Indeed!”
When the Buddha saw the giant, his expression changed.
He was the king of the legendary giant clans.
In the ancient times, in the mythical era long before Emperor Yu, the Creation Gods had just created humanity not long ago. There was a giant race on the earth, even the smallest of them was at least a few hundred meters tall, the tallest was their king, this giant race was known as the semi-deity race, and their bodies flowed with the blood of the Creation Gods, giving them endless power and an indestructible body.
Praise. Their king. He was known as the ‘Praise King’.
Kua Li crawled out of the abyss and when the two huge palms pressed down, a few Golden Crown cultivators who did not manage to dodge in time were crushed to pieces.
“Attack him! Protect the civilians and retreat!”
The old king of the Golden Crown was holding his king sword, his hand trembling intensely, but he still pointed his sword at the giant without wavering: “Soldiers of the Golden Crown, your criticism is protecting everyone here, every blade of grass and tree, you cannot let my Golden Crown’s citizens die before us, as the king of this country, I will not retreat!”
He mounted his own mount, a snow-white flying horse, and was the first to rush over to Kui.
Behind the old king, the army of the Golden Crown that had withdrawn earlier began to increase their speed. The battle horses’ whine and the shouts of the soldiers resounded through the sky.
“Archers!”
The old king shouted, “Release the arrows!”
Several thousand cavalrymen raised their bows and arrows at the same time, releasing their first round of attacks. The dense rain of arrows landed on the giant’s body, but ordinary weapons were completely meaningless to Pang Zi.
Buzz! *
A huge boulder, weighing several thousand Jin, flew over the head of the cavalry and smashed onto Kua then’s body with a loud bang.
At the back of the cavalry, the Golden Crown’s infantry unit quickly formed an array and assembled their powerful rock throwing chariots. The huge rock was sealed with magma and the moment it touched Kua’s body, it exploded, causing the magma to burst out. Witoar of pain, they retreated a few steps. He was too huge, and when he retreated, his steps shook the ground, causing the Golden Crown Cavalry who were charging at him to be shaken to the point that they could not control themselves.
“Roar!”
He reached out his hand and dug into the ground. When he lifted his hand, a piece of land as big aundred meter was dug out. He then threw it towards the direction of the Golden Crown Infantry Formation.
After a loud bang, it was unknown how many brave warriors were smashed down from below.
“Don’t stop!”
The old king brandished his sword. “We can’t kill him, but we have to buy more time for our subjects to retreat!”
Just at this moment, a pendant on his chest lit up, and a voice appeared in his mind.
“Your Majesty, you must withdraw and enter the three-star space to seek refuge!”
“I won’t!”
That was the Imperial Advisor’s advice, but the old king had no intention of doing so.
“I am the king of this country. I enjoy the respect of everyone in this country, so I have the responsibility to protect them. If this country is going to perish, then everyone will die. I will have to begin!”
The cavalrymen rushed to Kua’s feet, passing by like a gust of wind. Their sharp blades swept across Kua’s feet again and again, but their injuries were minuscule.
“It’s our turn!”
The Golden Crown cultivators who were charging over from behind the cavalry soldiers quickly closed in under the cover of the cavalry soldiers. Then, they suddenly rushed out and jumped up along with Kua’s feet and continued to climb up … Their bodies were simply too small when compared to Kua Li’s body. They were so small that they were like ants that had crawled onto the feet of a strong man.
As for their defensive capabilities, their damage was too low. It was as if ants that had bitten interson’s skin would only cause a slight itch or numbness.
However, they were no ordinary ants. They were brave warriors who fought for this country.
Even if they were mere ants in the eyes of others, they were merely marching ants that could nibble away all of their enemies.
“Kill!”
Every cultivator attacked with all their might, just like how a marching ant would constantly gnaw at their enormous enemy. If one bite was not enough, then two bites was enough. If two bites could not kill, then three bites was enough.
Tan Shanse who was in the sky, would probably never understand, and would also never understand, why are humans like this?
