614 No Need, I’m Here! (1/2)
Once again, the Shura Great Army was ready. At that moment, the soldiers were very close to Heavenly Mist City!
After several days of silence, this news immediately spread out to every corner of the city.
Early in the morning, the entire sky was gray and hazy with thick black clouds. It seemed to be a prelude to an approaching storm. This sort of air made the people agitated.
At that moment, the atmosphere of the Heavenly Mist City was also reverent. Every citizen looked desperate.
The Shura Army had gone too far… They had destroyed Heavenly Shine City and defeated Heavenly Pill City. Today, they didn't even want to spare the last city of the Pill Palace. At this pace, they wanted to level the Pill Palace entirely!
This was the hunting-down-to-the-last-member situation!
What was the kind of resentment between them that the Ancient Shura City had to treat the Pill Palace so mercilessly?
Some people in the city had a cold and lifeless look on their faces. They were born as citizens of the Pill Cities and even if they died, they would be ghosts who belonged to the Pill Cities. Even if the Shura Army was more aggressive, they wouldn't give up.
The alchemists had changed their slovenly appearance which they had during their time practicing alchemy. They put on the brand new alchemic robes, following the soldiers to the city wall. The imposing aura immediately expanded, slowly reaching and shrouding the enemy in the distance.
They all wore an imposing manner which they never had before. Although they were just alchemists, when they were called on to protect their homeland, they all had courageous auras around their bodies!
Star Tower, which was originally situated in Heavenly Pill City, was now placed in Heavenly Mist City.
The starlight twirled around the Star Tower, unceasingly releasing immense energy.
Many high-level managers of the Pill Palace were standing under the Star Tower, waiting in silence. Today, the Shura Army would come. They needed a pillar, which would be their Palace Master.
As soon as the Palace Master came out, they would have the power to confront the Shura Army.
After a long time, the Star Tower's archaic great doors slowly squeaked open. A figure strolled out as he emitted a surging aura which filled the place. Pill Palace's Palace Master, Luo Danqing, had a light flashing on his body as his energy was continuously rising. The emerald-colored soul ladder above his head bloomed with a blinding light. It seemed as though Luo Danqing's wound had completely recovered.
Looking at their mighty Palace Master, many experts regained their confidence. They excitedly watched Luo Danqing, waiting for his order.
”Our Pill Palace is not weak! The Shura evildoers have destroyed our Heavenly Shine City and Heavenly Pill City. They want to destroy our homeland. We can't just sit still and wait for death. We must stand up and resist! Today, if the Shura traitors don't die, we will perish together!
”Even if we have to perish, we will bite off the bloody meat from their bodies! We will let them know that they are not allowed to shame us!” Luo Danqing bellowed, his breath was heavy, his sharp, unrivaled eyes gazing at the sky out there.
A roar echoed from the mouths of the Pill Palace's experts.
The experts in Heavenly Mist City began to take action. They stormed toward the city wall, with their faces resolute.
For this battle to be the last battle, they had to fight for their dignity!
…
The bronze gate of the Cloud Mist Restaurant was open.
Bu Fang stood at the restaurant's entrance, looking at the blood-colored clouds gathering, and his face gradually turned cold.
The Nether King leaned against the door frame and his lips parted as he sucked on a Chili Strip, drawing it in and out of his mouth. His eyes also studied the far spot in the sky, but his face was cold and unconcerned.
”Such a colony of tiny ants. They want to shoot the Netherworld creatures to death… I, this King, must teach them some human manners!”
Hearing him, Bu Fang turned his head away, glancing at the Nether King through the corner of his eyes.
”Then you should get up there. Why you are here, eating Chili Strips?”
”I'm waiting for the right moment. Moreover, the main character will always be the last to arrive on the stage… If I go out there recklessly, I will lose my reputation, won't I?” The Nether King didn't mind Bu Fang as he sucked on his delicious Chili Strip. There was a satisfied expression on his face.
Bu Fang's lips curled upwards. Nangong Wuque cocked his head closer and whispered into Bu Fang's ear, ”I think our Little Ha is afraid that he will lose and won't be able to eat Chili Strips for three days. That's why he's trying to eat as much as he can now.”
”You mischievous little brat, don't talk nonsense… It's just two days!” The Nether King responded seriously.
Bu Fang and Nangong Wuque rolled their eyes.
...
The Heavenly Mist City didn't have large and high city walls like the Heavenly Pill City. However, to the city's experts, this faint-looking city wall was filled with an imposing aura. Standing on the Heavenly Mist City's wall, all the experts wore maniacal face, which made them look invincible.
The Shura Sovereign curled his lips when he saw the scene.
Indeed… Under terrifying pressure, even the rabbit would bite you back, let alone the Pill Palace's experts. They wanted to stake everything on the final fight.
Anyway…
The Shura Sovereign's experience in war was much more than these bunch of alchemists who knew nothing except alchemy. Besides, he understood their psyche at this moment.
Thus, he didn't order an immediate attack on the city. Instead, he had everyone stay at their spot and adjust their formation.
Luo Danqing appeared on the city wall, wearing a blue alchemic robe. His face was as cold as ice while gazing at the Shura Sovereign.
”Hmm? Your wound recovered so quickly. Did you use some secret technique or forbidden pill?” The Shura Sovereign wore his battle armor and metal helmet as he stood on his chariot to gaze at Luo Danqing who was standing on the city wall. He held the Shura Sword on his shoulders.
