320: Chapter 172: Killing Through the Way_1 320: Chapter 172: Killing Through the Way_1 Compared to the Dragonbone-faced man at his peak, Song Guang, who had opened two Inner Mansions, was nonetheless not as strong as the forr.
But the difficulty of Zhongxuan Sheng’s mission lay in having to kill Song Guang in an extrely short span of ti, giving him no chance to catch his breath.
As the Number Fourteen, a deathsworn of the Zhong Xuan Family, he would certainly be feared.
That was why he had invited Jiang Wang to join him, precisely because of his absolute trust in Jiang Wang’s strength.
And Jiang Wang’s cooperation was just right, without wasting half a mont, completely answering his trust with his strength.
All this happened suddenly and ended just as abruptly.
In the ti it takes a hawk to pounce on a rabbit, Song Guang’s head had already rolled off.
No matter how many tricks he had up his sleeve, or contingency plans, none could be utilized; they all dissipated into smoke.
Even the housekeeper Song, who was after all an Ascending Dragon Realm cultivator, was unable to react in ti—just as he was getting up, the battle had already ended!
“Ah!”
Song Guang’s fourth concubine’s scream pierced the air.
Only then did the two squads of Prefectural Governor’s guards guarding the outside of the tea room burst through the door.
Smack!
Zhongxuan Sheng sent the woman flying with a slap to the wall; her scream stopped abruptly, and as her body slid down the wall, it was clear she was no longer alive.
Jiang Wang didn’t waste words; after killing Song Guang, he unleashed the Five Qi Binding Tiger technique once more, twisting his body to thrust a sword that pierced the sun and moon, running right through the heart of housekeeper Song.
At this ti, facing such a diocre Ascending Dragon Realm cultivator, killing him was as easy as slaughtering a chicken.
No sooner had the sword retracted, than his single hand ford a gesture, spreading out the Sea of Fla Flowers, dragging all the guards from Sunshine County Prefecture who had barged in into the battlefield of the flower sea.
The guards had to discern their positions, investigate the phantom flowers, and at the sa ti defend against the attacks of the real fla flowers.
But for Zhongxuan Sheng and Jiang Wang within this Sea of Fla Flowers, their view was completely unobstructed.
Zhongxuan Sheng stepped forward, destroying one with a palm.
Jiang Wang swept left and right, taking out a pair with two swords.
In just the brief span of five breaths, the Sea of Fla Flowers dissipated, and the two squads of Transcendent guards were all slain!
At this ti, although Prefectural Governor Song Guang and housekeeper Song had been killed and the two squads of Transcendent guards annihilated, the commotion in the tea room had already been noticed by others in the Prefecture mansion, and one after another, Transcendent cultivators were converging towards this location.
In the direction of the guest rooms, suddenly a sword light shot up into the sky.
That radiance was sharp beyond compare; it was Xiang Qian’s flying sword.
Presumably, having noticed the disturbance here, he and Fourteen had also taken action at the first opportunity.
Inside the tea room, Jiang Wang only asked one question, “How are things?”
Zhongxuan Sheng didn’t beat around the bush, directly breaking through the wall and striding out, “To the military camp outside the city!”
Although Song Guang was dead, those seventy thousand soldiers were still intact.
Once any respected individual from Yang Country ca over, they would beco a threat.
What they had to do was to take advantage of the mont right after Song Guang’s death, when the army outside the city was leaderless and oblivious, to barge into the camp, kill the military leaders, and disperse the army on the spot.
It’s possible that Song Guang genuinely wanted to surrender to Qi Country, but due to his greedy nature, he sought more.
Or perhaps he was a plant by Yang Jiande from the start, with all his avaricious behavior designed to blind the eyes of Qi Country, waiting for a chance to stab them in the back, contesting for the fate of the nation for Yang Country.
But it was no longer important.
Zhongxuan Chuliang did not need a vacillating uncertainty; either pledge allegiance or die.
And for Zhongxuan Sheng, having delayed until now, allegiance was no longer necessary.
To kill the man and scatter his army, allowing Zhongxuan Chuliang to fight Yang Jiande without any misgivings, was his sole purpose and his greatest rit.
Song Guang was dead, and no one would care what he had harbored in his heart.
…
Sunshine County Prefecture was filled with experts, and Transcendent cultivators continuously assaulted.
However, Zhongxuan Sheng and Jiang Wang, one after the other, burst from the tea room, and then split up to proceed along two separate paths.
Along the way, whether they were in the Circulation Realm, Zhoutian Environnt, Tongtian Environnt, or Ascending Dragon Realm, not a single one could put up a fight!
The thunderous roars were incessant, and the sword cries never ceased.
Before long, Fourteen and Xiang Qian had also made their kills and scattered in different directions.
The forr fought with wide open and powerful strikes, turning black armored enemies into blood armored corpses.
The latter’s edge was unparalleled, with a flash of sword light swiftly striking fore and aft, claiming lives without end.
Bang bang bang bang bang!
Jiang Wang, taking advantage of the speed of the fla teor, darted to and fro, targeting those powerful beings capable of making decisions, pinpointing and killing them one by one.
He landed, spreading a Sea of Fla Flowers The abrupt release of “Five Energies Bind the Tiger,” followed by a sword that pierced through sun and moon—a combination that left no one able to withstand.
Zhongxuan Sheng was even more terrifying; whenever he saw soone trying to escape, he simply grabbed them, sucked them in front of him, and directly slapped them to death.
In the midst of the battle, Sunshine County’s prefectural residence was by no ans short of transcendent powerhouses.
What Jiang Wang and his companions sought to do was to cut off the enemies’ command center, shatter their courage to kill, and turn these people into scattered guerrillas and a disorganized mob.
“No need to chase them!”
“Head to the outskirts of the city!”
Jiang Wang and Zhongxuan Sheng almost shouted simultaneously.
They left Fourteen and Xiang Qian to continue their free killing in the area, preventing the Prefectural Governor’s cultivators from organizing and stopping them from sending ssages.
Zhongxuan Sheng and Jiang Wang then cut straight through the Prefectural Governor’s residence, took flight, and headed directly into the military camp outside the city.
They acted so decisively that by the ti the Prefectural Governor’s residence was still in chaos, no one had ti to inform the military camp.
Song Guang never thought he would be assassinated while his troops were stationed outside the city, nor could anyone in the military camp have imagined it.
Seventy thousand soldiers were just outside the city, and Song Guang, cautious by nature and a cultivator who had opened two Inner Mansion realms, was among them.
How could a few cultivators of the Ascending Dragon Realm possibly kill him under these circumstances?
It takes ti for a ssage to travel, and Jiang Wang and his companion played on this ti difference.
As they arrived outside the military camp, Zhongxuan Sheng bellowed, “Where is the commanding officer?
I am Zhongxuan Sheng, the direct descendant of the Zhong Xuan Family and the deputy commander of the Autumn Kill Army!
I have reached an agreent with Song Guang and have co in person to take over the army!”
Truly an intimidating title, the military camp hesitated in its defensive counterattack.
Imdiately there rose a general in armor who confronted the two: “Who are you?
Why is there no sign of the Prefectural Governor himself?
Do you have the Prefectural Governor’s seal and letter?”
Behind him, five more generals flew up to join.
The man was indeed cautious, but…
Jiang Wang, without a second word, spread out the Sea of Fla Flowers.
Zhongxuan Sheng unleashed his heavy techniques to gather them in one spot, while Jiang Wang, pushing forward with his Longsword, pierced through them in a single thrust.
Bang bang bang bang.
Most of the soldiers in the camp only saw their general ask a question, then a sea of bright flowers blood in the sky.
As the sea of flowers scattered, several armored corpses plunged to the ground one after another.
Zhongxuan Sheng and Jiang Wang directly killed those generals above the military camp!
Fear followed by rage.
The entire military camp was boiling with anger.
One after another, transcendent cultivators flew up, cries were heard among them: “Form up!
Form up!”
However…
Bang bang bang bang!
Wherever a voice called out, Jiang Wang’s fla teor exploded there, and beneath his Longsword, there was no survival.
Zhongxuan Sheng, with heavy techniques, controlled the battlefield brutally and directly, either with a slap of his palm or a smash of his fist, killing every Transcendent cultivator that rose into the sky.
Those who flew up one by one, also fell one by one, like rain.
But each raindrop was the end of a life!
Simple, direct, cruel, tragic!
This scene would remain a haunting nightmare for the soldiers present for a long, long ti to co.
