Capítulo 1051: Chapter 84: Li Que Sword Tower, Millennium Foundation
In the 49th year of Hong Guang, July 27th.
The last rays of the sunset disappeared beyond the horizon, and the sky grew dim.
Outside the Xirong Gate of Lanling City, the Buddha Light illuminated a radius of a thousand ters.
For the first ti in over five hundred years since the founding of the Da Lan Dynasty, a peak strong person was invading the Imperial City!
Even in the past, the Western Alliance Army’s strongest force was rely three princes, and the three didn’t even touch the city walls of Lanling City before Wenren Zheng killed two and severely injured one.
But now, Jing Heng, this Living Buddha of the ti, was leading five Great Arhats, which ant five top-level true masters, to attack Lanling City!
Just six people were about to attack the Capital of a powerful empire, such audacity was truly extre!
But now, the State Preceptor Yun Shu was severely injured, and the “Military God” Wenren Zheng along with the Sky Blue Cavalry were on the Bai Feng Plain.
Lanling City no longer had any peak combat power to show.
Jing Heng, being the Living Buddha of the ti, had imasurable cultivation.
The Buddhist heritage was over a thousand years old, its foundation equally unfathomable.
Now with the Buddha personally arriving, who could possibly resist?
“Everyone, prepare, open fire—”
On the city wall, Xi Yan shouted loudly.
Even if the Buddha had co, he intended to defend this city; how could they collapse without a fight?!
Yet, at this mont, all the thousand soldiers on this segnt of the city wall had lost their will to fight, all throwing down their weapons, pressing their hands together in prayer, kneeling and continuously praying.
Each person’s expression was devout, basked in that brilliant Buddha Light, and they completely lost themselves.
The City Guard Army on the wall were now the sa as the citizens outside the city kneeling and kowtowing repeatedly, all converted under the Buddha’s awe!
Xi Yan’s eyes were about to pop out of their sockets as he shouted angrily, quickly running to a nearby City Defense Cannon.
Kicking aside a soldier praying on the ground, Xi Yan personally opened the cannon breach and loaded the bomb.
The veins on his hand stood out as he quickly turned the handle to adjust the firing angle, the sound of tal grinding piercing the stagnant air.
Just as the cannon was aid at the distant golden silhouette, the sky do suddenly collapsed into a vortex of Buddha Light!
Buzz——
The moss on the battlents faded to gray and white at a speed visible to the naked eye, and Xi Yan’s heartbeat was being devoured by so grander rhythm.
The sound of the citizens’ kowtowing below the city, the crisp snap of breaking twigs, and the groan of the night wind passing over the cannon muzzle all shattered into dust within the golden ripples.
The entire world vanished!
Only the distant Buddha beca ever clearer, growing ever larger.
In the creases of the cassock, a galaxy flowed, in the infinitely extending Suru world, the flying eaves and intricate carvings of Lanling City were collapsing into the palm lines of the Buddha, the moat turning into gold-painted edged gullies, and Xi Yan himself was nothing but a flicker of dying stardust at the being’s fingertips!
This Buddha looked down at all beings, its rciful gaze falling upon the masses as well as on Xi Yan.
Xi Yan trembled all over, his knees gradually bending, about to submit beneath this boundless Buddha Light.
He gritted his teeth, fully activating the implant within him, trying to provide himself a slight bit of support.
“Take refuge in my Buddha.”
“Take refuge in my Buddha.”
“Take refuge in my Buddha.”
Chants perated through his seven orifices, seeping into the marrow of his bones, each bone crying out under the unbearable weight!
But in the void, a will was also telling Xi Yan:
“You must not kneel!”
Unknowingly, Xi Yan was already hunched over, his knees nearly touching the ground, his skin cracking open all over, blood oozing out, and the implant within him continuously disintegrating!
It felt as if ten thousand years had passed, or perhaps just a mont.
Xi Yan suddenly roared loudly: “Ah——”
His eyes widened fiercely, and he jerked the long rope in his hand.
Boom!!!
The 70mm caliber City Defense Cannon shook, and the bomb blasted out of the muzzle at three tis the speed of sound, flying towards Jing Heng and the others in the distance.
After firing this shot, Xi Yan’s entire being was like a burnt-out candle, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, falling backwards.
“At least I did not fail Your Majesty…”
This was Xi Yan’s last thought before he died.
The bomb exploded in the air before hitting the ground, leaving not even a wisp of dust on Jing Heng and the others.
“Amitabha Buddha.”
Jing Heng pressed his hands together, looking up at the towering Column of Fortune rising from the Imperial Palace.
With just a minor Dao Foundation Stage Martial Artist like Xi Yan, it was naturally impossible to truly withstand his pressure.
What just happened was rely him and Yun Shu using Xi Yan’s body to complete a battle from afar.
Xi Yan’s will was unexpectedly steadfast, causing Jing Heng to slightly lose an edge in the duel.
Failing against an insignificant person before even entering the city, although it didn’t affect the overall situation, it did cause a slight ripple in Jing Heng’s heart realm.
He quickly cald his heart realm and continued to step forward.
At this mont, the Xirong Gate posed no defense to him at all.
However, Jing Heng didn’t intend to enter the city through the Xirong Gate.
He and the five Great Arhats continued to step forward, as if invisible stairs appeared in the air, the six of them stepping in the void, continually ascending, and finally reaching the sky!
The six of them walked above the City Defense Array’s shield of Lanling City.
Each step they took left a ripple on the shield.
The six soon arrived above the Imperial City, a few hundred ters before the towering Column of Fortune, coiled by a Golden Dragon, its gaze coldly eting Jing Heng’s.
Jing Heng smiled slightly.
If he and his people had appeared on the Bai Feng Plain, they could have influenced the outco, won this battle.
But a peak strong person was hard to kill, and Wenren Zheng still had the chance to lead the Sky Blue Cavalry, fighting while retreating, ultimately sacrificing part of the Sky Blue Cavalry to escape back to Lanling City.
Hence, Jing Heng ca directly to Lanling City with his people.
This place was the ‘heart’ of the entire Da Lan Dynasty, suppressing the national fortune!
