Chapter 611: Starting Anew (2/2)
There were four peaks surrounding the capital, Mingdu, which had been protected by four Martial Sovereigns in the past. One of them had been lured away by Ming Zhaoshu to Qiong Island’s Shanhai city and another perished in battle, meaning that there were only two guardians left.
When these two people saw Lu Yin and the others show up, they immediately sprang into action.
All of a sudden, skilled Martial Sovereigns appeared from all over inside Mingdu, and they held the two experts back. These people were subordinates of Ming Zhaoshu, as he was prepared to give it his all for this battle.
No one expected that the rebels would attack at the same time that the five sealing planets were attacked. This was betraying the entire continent!
Ming Hao was enraged and saddened at the same time. He was also worried that his secret hidden underground might be discovered.
“Your Majesty, someone is moving towards the Tower of Resonating Light!” A Martial Emperor expert cried out.
Ming Hao’s expression changed drastically. “Stop them!”
Lu Yin raised his hands, and a single attack from each hand killed two Martial Emperor experts. He didn’t hesitate and continued to dash madly towards the Tower of Resonating Light. He shot down just like a meteor, not bothering to look for the entrance, and instead simply tunneled straight into the ground.
In the past, the Tower of Resonating Light had trapped an entire group of trial takers, but now, all of the tower’s defenses were crumbling under his might.
In what felt like a mere moment, Lu Yin arrived at the lowest known level of the Tower of Resonating Light.
The moment Ming Zhaoshu had received Ming Taizhong’s inheritance, the threat of the Tower of Resonating Light had already been neutralized. The area had since become an experimental base for the Neohuman Alliance.
Lu Yin saw many laboratories, a Corpse King, and various types of energy crystals.
Even though he was in the darkness underground, he could still see no less than a hundred thousand zombies roaming about. They were all ordinary humans who had been captured by the Neohuman Alliance for experimental purposes.
This was the Neohuman Alliance, a public enemy of the entire universe. As far as they were concerned, every organism was nothing more than a lab rat.
Lu Yin released his domain, crushing the underground area. Whether it was the zombies or a Corpse King, everything moving instantly exploded. With a furious growl, a black figure suddenly charged towards Lu Yin, clearly enraged. Lu Yin made no attempt to evade the charge. Instead, he raised his palm and shouted as he released his own attack in response. “Thirty Stacks, One Hundredfold Shockwave Palm!”
With a resounding boom, the entire Tower of Resonating Light shattered, and sunshine appeared underground.
Lu Yin stood in place and did not move. The black figure slowly became visible; it was the powerful Cruiser Corpse King whose rune lines were comparable to Kong Shi’s.
It was clear that this Corpse King was confused, but regardless, its physical strength was off the charts. Lu Yin’s attack didn’t seem to faze it at all.
With another angry yell, a metallic l.u.s.tre appeared and covered the surface of the Corpse King’s body. It slashed its claws towards Lu Yin, and Lu Yin raised his brows. Was this an innate gift?
Lu Yin struck out with another palm, and there was another thump as the impact caused another shockwave to ripple out, splitting all of Mingdu apart. Huge cracks started to spread out from the Tower of Resonating Light that traveled all the way to the imperial palace.
Shock was shining in Ming Hao’s eyes. The aftershocks of the underground battle caused his heart to palpitate. He had had no idea that Ming Zhaoshu had subordinates who were this strong.
At this moment, battles erupted everywhere across the capital. Bigbeard was the first to encounter a Corpse King, which triggered an intense battle. Following that, the others also started facing off against zombies and Corpse Kings. As they fended off the Corpse Kings, they also had to deal with the cultivators of the Shenwu Empire.
Nightking Changfeng’s location wasn’t far away from the Demon Hunters Society, as that was the strategic location that Lu Yin had chosen for him. Beneath the ground in this area weren’t only Corpse Kings from the Neohuman Alliance, but also Lord Blackgown and several other skilled individuals who belonged to the Neohuman Alliance.
Hua Ying, Bei Qing, and the others all attacked Nightking Changfeng. The Nightking responded with a cold snort and a wave of his arms, causing everyone to fall back. Hua Ying’s beauty had mesmerised him so much that he did not deal a deadly blow to the attackers, as if he had not held back, then a single attack from him would have been enough to kill them all.
Hua Ying had been beaten unconscious by Lu Yin just a few days ago. She had woken up with her comrades atop a tree and was still filled with anger from the incident. Coincidentally, since the capital was currently being attacked, regardless of how powerful the attackers were, she intended to vent some of her anger on them. Nightking Changfeng narrowed his eyes. “You should know your place.”
Just as he was about to attack again, the ground beneath him shattered, and a Corpse King rose up. It bellowed as it stretched out its claws towards Nightking Changfeng.
He was shocked to see a Corpse King here, but he immediately swayed to avoid it.
Astonished, Hua Ying stared at the monster that had suddenly appeared. She could not understand why such a monstrosity had been hiding underground.
At this moment, grains of black sand suddenly swept across the sky, casually travelling towards Nightking Changfeng. Lord Blackgown had arrived.
“My Lord, there are monsters underground!” Hua Ying yelled.
Lord Blackgown swept past Hua Ying and the others as his blacksand formed into chains. Then, he rushed towards Nightking Changfeng.
Nightking Changfeng’s expression turned cold, and the surface of his body glistened like jade. Seven lined battle force burst forth as he struck out with his palm to attack. This attack repelled both the Corpse King and black-gowned lord, and the Corpse King ended up especially miserable as the attack had nearly caused its head to explode.
Lord Blackgown snarled angrily, and he ripped off his robes to reveal his face to Hua Ying and the others for the first time. They all saw that he was also a monster with scarlet red eyes and that he was covered with blacksand from head to toe.
“Another Corpse King!” Nightking Changfeng struck out with a palm once again. “Nightking palm!” This attack revealed intermingling black and white colors, and Lord Blackgown bellowed at the sky. The blacksand wrapped around his entire body, and he charged recklessly at Nightking Changfeng.
Boom!
The end result of the collision between the two shattered the surrounding streets, affecting countless people as the ground shattered. Hua Ying and the other Demon Hunters weren’t able to withstand the ripples of the aftershocks and tumbled backwards.
