Chapter 1027 - Outside the City (2/2)

‘Perennial Ruling Criterion Sword? To think that it has been cultivated to such a degree?’

The person who stood out from the rest and saved that man with beard stubble using a single sword attack was naturally the commander of this vanguard team, Prince Xin’s Eldest son—Fang Wangshu.

If it were in a world without martial arts and with most of this 30,000-man army he led being cavalry, it would naturally be impossible for him to take down a great city like the divine capital.

However, this was a world where martial arts existed, where a single person could fend off several ten or even hundred thousand people. Fang Wangshu naturally was not satisfied in just surrounding and trapping the Divine Capital.

He waved his hand, and the 2,000-man army the man with stubble started backing off. They held their swords with both hands and locked their gazes in He Wanzhou’s direction.

He Wanzhou’s eyes narrowed, and he circulated the Jade Blood Divine Fist once again. As green light surged, a series of punches smashed out toward the 2,000 soldiers.

Seeing this, Fang Shuwang let out a cold laugh and slashed out his longsword across space. A dark purple sword glow soared upward like purple lightning descending from the sky, clashing fiercely with He Wanzhou’s fist force.

Then Fang Shuwang slashed out sword attack after sword attack toward the city wall. Purple sword light flashed incessantly, almost pushing He Wanzhou back time and time again. Very soon after, the purple sword light broke through He Wanzhou’s fist force and the Imperial Guards’ Qi field, causing the people on the city wall to be in an utter state of defeat.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

The army of several ten thousand men outside the city cheered. Essential Qis gathered together continuously, further increasing the prowess of Fang Wangshu’s sword Qis.

This was also how the mainstream battles in this world were like. The soldiers under one’s command were used not just to take over territories, probe, scout, and maintain order. Their greatest effect was still to strengthen the generals, allowing the strongest general to turn into a long lance for attacking the enemy.

Fang Wangshu was actually a little weaker compared to He Wanzhou, but the strength of the 30,000 elites under him far surpassed that of the Imperial Guards under He Wanzhou. This allowed Fang Wangshu to have the upper hand when the two of them fought.

The many generals on Fang Wangshu’s side laughed out loud as they watched the people on the city walls get utterly defeated by them. Many militants fled, and even He Wanzhou was no match for them.

“The Imperial Court is really hopeless. To think that even the standard of the Divine Capital’s soldiers is so low…”

“Hmph, to think that He Wanzhou still claims to be a grandmaster of the Confucian Sect? He wasn’t even able to take ten sword attacks from the Young Master.”

“After we enter the Divine Capital, we’ll catch that lad, Fang Xuan, and get him to abdicate the throne.”

An explosive rumble broke out. As the Imperial Guards were pushed back and the Qi field shrank, the people on the Divine Capital’s walls finally seemed to be unable to withstand the slashes from Fang Wangshu’s sword Qis. Amidst a loud sound, a huge crack opened up from an explosion caused by a sword attack.

At the sight of this scene, Fang Wangshu let out a cold laugh, and the disdain in his eyes deepened. ‘To think that even the Divine Capital has eroded to such an extent… It’s really best for Father to replace him and bring forth a reformation to the world.’

Yet, just then, a hand patted his shoulder, causing Fang Wangshu to turn back and slash out in fright.

“Who’s there?!

However, Fang Wangshu’s attack that could split open mountains and rocks was gently fended off by a fair and tender finger. Fang Wangshu circulated his full powers but was unable to budge an inch.

When Fang Wangshu looked at the other person’s face, he was shocked by the other party’s beauty and was out of sorts for an instant.

Still, he soon reacted, “Who are you? Are you going to go up against our army?”

The soldiers in the surroundings immediately reacted as well, charging toward the duo and surrounding them.

The Crown Princess threw them a look in contempt and then looked toward Fang Wangshu with some disgust before saying calmly, “You think that something as insignificant as an ant is qualified to ask who I am?”

A hint of fury flashed on Fang Wangshu’s face. He was about to make a move when the surrounding space trembled abruptly. It was as if there was an invisible force descending from the sky. He raised his head, looked upward, and noticed that a huge golden palm had descended from the sky like a flyswatter. It slapped out toward the army of 30,000 under him.

A loud sound rang out as if the heavens had collapsed and the earth had shattered. The 30,000-man army he led was slapped into meat paste instantly.

It was like swatting a mosquito, with an endless amount of blood exploding on the ground.

The area within a range of ten lis was instantly covered with blood.

Fang Wangshu’s countenance turned deathly pale as he looked at the bloody state before him. The longsword he was holding dropped to the floor with aclank .
