Chapter 848 - Pulling Out the Sword (1/2)

There was a white python and many other strange things in the sky.

Everyone was terrified by the sight of so many Perfected Cultivators.

“We’re doomed. We’re all doomed,” a Chinese elder said as he trembled.

Some people even started to stare at Chen Fan with a resentful look, clearly placing all the blame on him.

“There are four mid-stage Golden Core Cultivators and seven early-stage Golden Core Cultivators. What a line-up! Together with the soldiers of the three troops, they’re powerful enough to eliminate a Grotto-heaven and the Top Ten,” Gu Lingzi said.

“Let’s see if Chen Beixuan would run or fight.”

Chu Tianyu snickered and sipped his wine.

In the meantime, many flying s.h.i.+ps landed on the ground. The soldiers of the three troops, who at least had the Ethereal Enlightenment Level, came out as a flood and besieged Old China Town.

Each troop had over a hundred thousand soldiers; each of them wore a Spirit Armor and held a Spirit Weapon. They lined up into square formations under the lead of their generals. Even though they weren’t really powerful individually, even Golden Core Cultivators had to be careful when all of them worked together.

“Roar!”

An enormous python, a dragon a thousand feet long and the phantom of a giant appeared outside Old China Town. Those were the arrays summoned by the three troops and they slowly approached the city.

“Chen Beixuan, surrender!” Zhu Jiushan said while standing on the white python.

“Of course, you can also run, but millions of people in Old China Town and the Chinese in the other thirty two cities will die.”

“I’ll kill every single one of them, from cultivators to ordinary people, and the entire Beihan Region will have no Chinese anymore. Believe it or not, I’m known as the Human Slayer and I’ve killed over a hundred races in my lifetime.”

Billions of people were like ants for him. Zhu Jiushan was truly like a Perfected Cultivator who despised the world at the moment. All the Chinese people were terrified after hearing what he said.

Chen Fan looked at the sky indifferently with hands behind his back.

“Perfected Cultivator Chen, I’d surrender if I were you. Sword King always appreciates talents and he wouldn’t kill you. Besides, whose life is more important? Yours or those of the Chinese?” Chu Tianyu asked.

Chen Fan remained silent.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

Some thunderous sound came from the outside.

The soldiers of the three troops were attacking the array. Looking from afar, the giant had landed a hit on the array, creating some ripples.

The “Nine Heavenly Lock Array” had been formed by a Grandmaster the Ancestral Temple had hired with countless Spirit Stones. When it was fully turned on, it could withstand attacks from Golden Core Perfected Cultivators. However, it seemed to be a bit overwhelmed at the moment, when three hundred thousand cultivators were attacking at the same time.

An elder of the Ancestral Temple yelled, “Perfected Cultivator Chen!”

“Shut up! When we start the Perfected Cultivator Ceremony and wors.h.i.+p our ancestors, Perfected Cultivator Chen will become the leader of the Chinese. He’s our hope. As long as he lives, the Chinese will still be here and we’ll still be able to rise one day!”

Xie Changying stomped his foot furiously.

That elder quickly stood back with a pale face.

However, the other elders and Qin Luo were devastated. Would their hopes be dashed again?

“Brother,” Xiao Mang said anxiously.

Chen Fan continued to stand there.

At the Sky-Swallowing Palace in the royal city…

Sword King was standing in the middle of the hall and Zhao Duluo was bowing behind him. If he didn’t move, the Prince would imitate his actions. After a while, Sword King spoke.

“Has Zhu Jiushan arrived in Old China Town?”

“Yes, uncle. Other than the three troops, I also requested the help of six Lords, including those of the Wu State, the Lei State, the Xuan State and the General of the Navy. Aside from that, I sent two old servants over as well. It’s impossible for Chen Beixuan to escape,” Zhao Duluo answered.

“Good! We must do everything we can to deal with this mid-stage Golden Core Cultivator. Duluo, well done.”

Sword King nodded.

Zhao Duluo was immediately thrilled. He knew that Sword King had high expectations and he had never seen him compliment anyone in the past century.
