Chapter 337 - We Are Robbers (1/2)
As the huge battles.h.i.+p slowly flew overhead, it created a huge pressure in the hearts of everyone present. As for the armored warriors on the two sides of the wars.h.i.+p, any one of them had the cultivation level of Captive Stage. This was a war machine that only large families could have. A battles.h.i.+p could raze an ordinary sect to the ground.
There were also those small powers that lived in the gap between the sixteen kingdoms, such as the Zhongshan Country, which had a population of just a few tens of thousands. A battles.h.i.+p like this could destroy a nation with just one.
Du Shoushou raised his head and watched the wars.h.i.+p leave through the cracks in the rock, and could not help but exclaim: ”It's really awesome, in the future, I will get a wars.h.i.+p like that to drive back to the Fantasy City, and let those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds see it and be scared out of their wits.”
An Zheng patted Du Shoushou's shoulder. ”Don't worry, we'll make one ourselves in the future. It's bigger and more domineering than this!”
Du Shoushou vigorously nodded his head: ”We will call it the Skinny Number!”
An Zheng: ”Immediately, there's no more imposing manner.”
Du Shoushou laughed, ”Is the Ning Family very powerful?”
An Zheng nodded his head, ”The Ning Family's strength can be placed in the top ten of the Da Xi family. That was the true power of a family that could destroy an entire country … A single prehistoric battles.h.i.+p was enough to cause the State of Yan to tremble in fear. Even a sect like the Tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tao is unable to withstand the pressure of this battles.h.i.+p. ”
The two of them looked outside and saw that the surrounding cultivators were trembling in fear. When he saw the cultivators beside him who had died in his hands, he could not help but feel somewhat guilty. Everyone was confused by the fog. They didn't know who was the one that made the first move out of fear. Or perhaps, there was some insane power within the fog, which was why everyone was fighting.
An Zheng and Du Shoushou were hiding behind a rock. An Zheng pointed to those people and said, ”Most of them are cultivators from the Da Xi Empire. Basically, every single one of them have great powers backing them up. He did not know why they were all here, but they should be here for Helian Xiaoxin. Let me recall now, the one I fought in Peac.o.c.k City was probably Helian Xiaoxin's clone, which is similar to Qi Tian's clone, but much more powerful. The power of the avatar was almost as if it had one foot in the Lower Completion Stage. ”
Du Shoushou said: ”Isn't the original body of that grandson stronger?”
An Zheng acknowledged: ”Not necessarily, but maybe it's because of some top quality cultivation technique. Let's be careful, we don't know what other dangers are hiding here, our only goal now is to find Helian Xiaoxin and think of a way to go back. Follow them, they're more urgent than we are. ”
Du Shoushou nodded: ”I'll listen to you.”
The cultivators outside gathered together to discuss something. Although it still looked like they were at a complete loss, it was clear that they had reached some sort of agreement. In the end, the group continued to move forward. After the fog dissipated, he could see his surroundings. This should be the end of the road, and the plaza across from him. Vaguely, one could see the endless palace buildings on the other side of the plaza. Although they were very far away, it could be seen that most of the buildings were damaged.
”I'll go, look!”
Du Shoushou's gaze had been chasing after the prehistoric battles.h.i.+p the entire time. When the giant battles.h.i.+p left, it carried some floating clouds that were pushed away, revealing a floating island behind it. Those islands hung in the sky, and the structures on those islands could be vaguely seen.
An Zheng frowned, could this really be an immortal palace? Originally, An Zheng was always suspicious of the existence of immortals, even when Qi Tian swore that the number of immortals that flew everywhere was not little at all. Even so, An Zheng still found it hard to believe. Just what kind of power caused the extermination of immortals? Even that piece of history had been ruined?
At leasundred cultivators gathered in front of the palace building for the time being. An Zheng waited for their figures to disappear into the building before letting Du Shoushou out. The two of them did not dare to be careless, and they carefully moved closer.
Looking at the building from afar, it looked like a continuous mountain range. Only when they got closer would they be able to understand the magnificence of the past.
Simply put, it was large and exquisite, even though it was already damaged, the beauty of the building was something that An Zheng and the others had never seen before. Even if An Zheng was able to enter and exit the Great Western Palace, there was no doubt that the structures of the Great Western Sacred Palace were not as developed as the ones here.
In the center of the palace plaza, there wauge golden dragon sculpture. The golden dragon was riddled with wounds. There was a sword mark on its head that was almost able to cut off its head. It was a shocking sight to behold. Even so, the golden dragon still gave off a terrifying aura. Although it was just a sculpture, it felt as if it would soar into the sky and roam above the nine heavens in the next second.
An Zheng and Du Shoushou stood underneath the gigantic golden dragon statue for a while, then Du Shoushou could not help but sigh: ”This is truly supernatural, An Zheng look at the golden dragon's eyes, no matter how we move, its eyes seemed to be looking at us. Moreover, there was something terrifying in those eyes. I'm already starting to wonder if this thing was carved out, or if it'eal golden dragon. ”
If it was in the past, An Zheng would probably directly tell Du Shoushou that there was no real golden dragon in this world. However, now that he was in this immortal palace, even he started to doubt his own past persistence.
What kind of world was this?
Just as they were about to leave the golden dragon statue, they heard a sneer, ”I told you that there were always people following them. I don't know where these two brats came from, but they managed to sneak in. But then again, the only people who could enter without dying were those with unique skills or treasures. It seems like the two of you do not have the Qi of an expert, and are not from any big clan. ”
Around six to seven people walked over from the other side of the gigantic golden dragon statue, and sneered at An Zheng and the others. The leader looked to be in his thirties, with a full beard, and a strong build. Judging from the clothes this person was wearing, he was also someone from the Da Xi family. Just as he had said, the people who managed to survive the purple dragon tornado were either those with powerful cultivations or those possessing treasures.
”I'll give you two a chance. Either hand over your magic tools, or I'll kill you and search for your magic tools.”
The muscular man laughed coldly, ”Maybe you don't know who I am. My name is Kou Guangshan, and I'm from Fire Beacon City.”
Du Shoushou asked An Zheng: ”What kind of place is Fire Beacon City?”
An Zheng said: ”Just like the Illusionary Land in the Mount Cang Man... Every place has that evil place. Although the Da Xi was very prosperous, but because it was too big, there were more evil people. Fire Beacon City is an abandoned border city. Many years ago, a person called Chen Beacon City defeated everyone in one sword attack, and changed the name of the city to Fire Beacon City … ”Because that place is too remote, even the officials of the Great Xixi government can't be bothered with it.”
Du Shoushou said, ”I thought that Da Xi was singing and dancing everywhere.”
An Zheng: ”That word was used inaccurately.”
Du Shoushou said, ”Yes.”
When Kou Guangshan saw that An Zheng and Du Shoushou actually ignored him, his anger surged: ”You actually dare to look down on our Fire Beacon City?! I don't plan to give you the chance to hand over your magic tools now. ”
He pointed at An Zheng and the others, ”Kill them.”
An Zheng asked Du Shoushou: ”What's this supposed to be?”
Du Shoushou: ”The robber has met a bandit.”
An Zheng said as the corners of his mouth twitched, ”You were right to say something just now... Those who are able to come in alive must either have unique skills or special treasures. ”
A green light flashed in his hand, and in the next second, he was already in front of that Kou Guangshan, throwing a punch towards his face. Kou Guangshan quickly retreated, and pushed his hands forward. A surge of energy formed a hurricane and struck An Zheng's body.
And in the midst of the hurricane, it seemed like countless real fists were smas.h.i.+ng towards An Zheng one after another.
Sumeru can control qi and the prison can take form. When he made his move, An Zheng could immediately tell that his cultivation was around the sixth stage of Captive Stage. Even though An Zheng's strength was only at the early stage of Captive Stage, relying on the many top-grade magic tools on him, if he could kill even a first stage Lower Completion Stage cultivator, how could he be injured by Kou Guangshan? The densely packed fists came at the speed of a few hundred punches per second, and each of these punches could split open a stone.
”Not bad.”
An Zheng felt like he was standing in a storm as he allowed that fist to strike his body. He did not even use his Holy Fish Scale, and only relied on his extremely strong physical body to withstand all of the attacks.
”If you can't see the lightning pool, then use your combat experience to train yourself.”
An Zheng took a big step forward, and every single strike of the fists landed on his body, causing circular ripples in the air. A faint purple halo appeared on the surface of his body, one for each attack. This was the spontaneous reaction of his body. It formed an air wall that blocked the force from coming out of his body.
