I Stepped on a Bug, and the System Says I Slayed a Dragon? Chapter 301 - 300: The Whole City Is Shaken

A pillar of white light shot up from the Da Li Mountain Range, illuminating a swath of the sky. The successive strange phenona had long since drawn the attention of countless people.

Right now, the internet was in an uproar.

Everyone was posting on their social dia, and citizens gazed at the terrifying sight, holding up their phones to record the mont. All sorts of videos were spreading rapidly.

Netizens were freaking out:

[Holy shit, Jianghai City is blowing up again!]

[Don’t spread rumors, it’s obviously in the Da Li Mountain Range!]

[Latest picture from the scene, check the link!]

[What kind of luck does Jianghai have?! It’s blowing up every day!]

[Quick, watch the livestream! It blew up again!!]

"What a spectacle!"

On Jianghai’s defensive walls.

The Chief Commander stood by the battlents, with Elder Li and Li Daoming beside him. All of them were looking toward the Da Li Mountain Range, sighing with deep emotion.

"This is the second explosion, isn’t it?"

They desperately wanted to go and help.

But they were willing in spirit but weak in the flesh. In a battle above the Venerable level, any mortal who got close would die instantly. Even an Innate Realm expert would be severely injured by the shockwaves if they ca within two kiloters.

"Sigh..."

Elder Li’s face was filled with pain. He let out a long sigh, his white eyebrows knitting together.

"After this battle, who knows how many Venerables the Heaven-Blasting Gang will lose... and yet, I can only watch from the sidelines. I have truly failed the Sword God."

"My condolences, Elder Li,"

The Commander placed a hand on Elder Li’s shoulder and comforted him softly, "The mbers of the Heaven-Blasting Gang are all fierce and unyielding..."

Just then, a deafening RUMBLE of thunder interrupted their conversation.

The Chief Commander and Elder Li looked up in unison toward the Da Li Mountain Range. Purple lightning stretched from heaven to earth, as if the sky itself were roaring in fury. The lead-gray clouds were torn asunder, revealing an apocalyptic scene.

WHOOSH!

The rain ca down in torrents, a spectacular downpour sweeping over everything!

Gust after gust of wind swept by, one after another, like a tsunami erupting within a storm.

The glass on the city’s buildings and the defensive walls along the Jianghai Border Line trembled. When the aftershocks hit, everyone felt as small as ants, like duckweed tossed about in a torrential downpour.

"It’s coming again! Everyone, fall back!"

Li Daoming rushed to the edge of the wall, releasing his Star Force to block the shockwave and protect the ramparts. The City Defense Array activated.

The great Array, which had once withstood several waves of the Beast Tide, now seed as fragile as a poorly built dam against the aftershocks. The sound of it cracking and groaning was incessant.

KRA-CRACK—

The void trembled!

In the distance, Celestial Thunder exploded along the border of the Domain.

A dazzling white light followed in its wake.

It grew brighter and brighter.

Endless light and heat spread outward in ripples.

Arcs of lightning streaked across the sky, shattering the dark clouds above the Da Li Mountain Range. Colossal beasts shrieked and wailed as the phantoms to the south and east were blasted apart, dissipating into the roiling thunder.

The Ten Fierce Array suffered a massive impact, and the damaged gaps within it grew wider and wider!

"Pthoo!"

Inside the Domain, the Nine Celestial Venerables spat out a mouthful of murky blood. His face was deathly pale as he stumbled back two steps, his aura growing incredibly faint.

After all,

the Ten Fierce Array was centered on him as its core.

When the Venerables from the Heaven-Blasting Gang self-detonated, the shockwaves not only impacted the Ten Fierce Array but also dealt him a devastating blow!

With every person who self-detonated,

an enormous amount of power was stacked against him!

"I can’t take it anymore, Senior Brother,"

the Nine Celestial Venerables said, looking at ng Tianxuan beside him. His face was just as pale. "You need to beg Qin Yang for rcy! If you don’t, we’re dead for sure once this Array breaks!"

The self-detonation of just three Venerables had already produced such a terrifying result... He didn’t even dare to imagine what would happen after a few more rounds of it.

And up in the sky....

there were still several more Venerables waiting their turn!

"Qin Yang, must you do this?! Do you insist on mutual destruction?!"

ng Tianxuan scread amidst the downpour. Rivulets of water stread down his face, and his coiled hair was soaked into matted strands, making him look like a drowned, rabid dog as he shrieked hysterically:

"Your Heaven-Blasting Gang’s Venerables are hard-won! How can you... squander their lives so carelessly?"

His words were punctuated by the intersecting peals of thunder and were quickly drowned out by the cacophony.

Qin Yang was poised high in the sky. Though the distance was great, he heard ng Tianxuan’s clamor clearly with his Spiritual Power, but he paid it no mind.

Instead, his gaze fell upon the Nine Celestial Venerables.

’This Venerable from the Beast God Sect is strange...’

’From the very beginning, he hasn’t revealed his true form. He’s still shrouded in that black mist, concealing his body. It’s no easy feat for anyone to reach the Celestial Venerable Realm, and they all have plenty of tricks up their sleeves.’

’I can’t underestimate him!’

ng Tianxuan continued to roar from within the Domain.

But the Nine Celestial Venerables beside him remained silent and contemplative. He didn’t join in the protest. Instead, he turned to observe the spatial barrier around them, a cold glint flashing in his eyes as if he were devising a counterasure...

Noticing Qin Yang’s gaze on him, the Nine Celestial Venerables seed to sense it. He looked up, t Qin Yang’s eyes, and also began to plead his case:

"Qin Yang, there’s no need to be so ruthless, is there? Just let go, and I promise you! I will never set foot in Jianghai again... Or better yet, na your price! We can et any condition!"

As he spoke, the Nine Celestial Venerables took half a step to the side and spread his arms wide.

"The Heaven-Blasting Gang is full of loyal heroes, and your losses have been devastating... If you let us go, we can compensate you with Profound Soldier Immortal dicines, or even Other Shore Relics left behind by Black Hole experts.

As long as you ask for it, we can negotiate!"

As his voice fell, Qin Yang sneered. "Let you go?"

He frowned slightly, waving a hand to stop the two Venerables behind him. He looked down at the charred corpses below and said in a cold voice,

"Are you dreaming?

What’s the difference between that and letting a tiger back into the mountains? Today, my Heaven-Blasting Gang has moved against you, slaughtering mbers of your Venerable Alliance and the Divine Beast Sect. Do you think you’d be willing to just let that go?"

The mont he finished speaking, the Nine Celestial Venerables quickly interjected.

"You can rest assured on that point, Qin Yang! I can swear an oath on my Primordial Spirit! As long as you agree to let us go, our Beast God Sect will never go back on its word! We’ll have the Heavenly Dao Laws as our guarantee, so you needn’t worry about us breaking our promise!"

the Nine Celestial Venerables said in a low voice, seizing the opening to plead his case. He pointed toward Jianghai. "The goal of your Heaven-Blasting Gang is to protect the people of Jianghai... If we retreat right now,

everything will be over, and everyone goes ho happy!"

"Besides, what do you even get for going to all this trouble to kill us? The adoration of the citizens? Will they give you so ultimate treasure?

Just let us leave, and no one will ever know about this deal!

You’ll still be their hero."

"..."

Hearing this, Qin Yang shook his head and simply smiled without a word.

’No benefit?’

’How naive!’

’This Nine Celestial Venerables has to die before the system pops the rewards.’

’As long as I eliminate him,’

’not only will I be rid of a major threat, but I’ll also get a Celestial Venerable Level reward.’

At this thought, Qin Yang suppressed the joy in his heart. He twisted his face into a crazed expression to show them his resolve!

"...If it ans I can destroy you, then what does my own death matter?!"
