Chapter 702 Great Zhou’s Counterattack (1/2)
Atop the walls of Broken Dragon City, Zhou Qing, Wei Canglan and the rest stared with dazed expressions and hanging mouths at the Great Wu Empire army that had been crushed in the blink of an eye.
No one had expected the aggressive and menacing army that had threatened to destroy the Great Zhou Empire to fall apart so easily.
The area atop the city walls fell into a temporary silence.
Countless people rubbed their eyes in disbelief, feeling as if they were in a dream.
Was they seeing a final impossible delusion before their deaths?
Some of the warriors could not help but give themselves a slap, causing slapping noises to sound one after another, which were quickly followed by painful yelps.
“Ouch! Wait, so this is real?”
“Hey! Can’t you hit yourself? Why the h.e.l.l did you hit me!”
“Eh…”
“The Great Wu Empire army has collapsed?”
“That seems to be the case…”
“......”
The city walls turned somewhat chaotic. Everyone finally returned to their senses as wild joy flooded their faces.
Deafening cheers exploded a split second later, shaking even the st.u.r.dy city walls.
Everyone had been prepared to die for their country just moments ago, not because they no longer wished to live, but because the situation had been hopeless and there was no other path left for them to take.
Who could have imagined hope to descend from the sky amidst their despair?
“His highness is invincible!”
“His highness is invincible!”
“......”
Cheers that could over turn even the sea itself boomed across the land.
The Great Zhou Empire army gazed at the youthful figure atop the river with incomparable excitement. The reverence and wors.h.i.+p in their eyes so concentrated that it was nearly about to overflow.
Having Zhou Yuan descend like a G.o.d from the heavens and single handedly save them from what should have been sure death likely made them revere him even more than Zhou Qing.
The eyes of Wei Canglan and the other commanders turned red with emotion as they sighed deeply, “His highness truly is the sacred dragon.”
Their hearts were filled with shock. No one had expected the intermediate Divine Dwelling stage King Wu to be forced to flee after having his physical body destroyed by Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Qing’s face was likewise flushed red with emotion, no longer any trace of his usual steady expression. He slammed his hands onto the city walls as he mumbled, “Great! Great!
“Wu Xuan, you wanted to ruin the Sacred Dragon of my Zhou clan. How do you like the taste of the consequences?!
“The Sacred Dragon of my clan will not succ.u.mb so easily!”
While the city walls were bathing in jubilation, Zhou Yuan cast a glance in the direction King Wu had fled in before flying towards the city walls under the countless stares of near fanatical reverence.
“Father, mother.”
When he landed, his gaze immediately looked towards Zhou Qing and Qin Yu as he smiled.
Qin Yu was the first to rush over, her eyes red as she carefully looked Zhou Yuan up and down. “Yuan’er, are you hurt anywhere?”
Zhou Yuan chuckled as he hugged his mother. “Relax mother, I’m fine.”
Zhou Qing also strided forward, his eyes filled with emotion as he looked at Zhou Yuan. In the end, he forcefully patted the latter’s shoulder as he said, “You’ve finally grown up.”
Zhou Yuan had merely been a very young Heaven Gate stage pract.i.tioner when he left his home years ago. After returning again, he was now a Divine Dwelling stage expert.
While it did make Zhou Qing feel a little sad, he was also extremely proud and happy.
