Chapter 476: What a Waste (2/2)
“Let’s besiege the city.” The Fallen Lord nodded to the cultivators around him. These tens of thousands of geniuses had waited long enough. They wanted nothing more than to rush in and loot the inheritance tower in the city!
Bam!
Countless sword slashes made for the city gates, but they were blocked by rippling energy just outside the city. A figure emerged atop the city walls.
“Do you all have a death wish?” Qing Han uttered frostily, looking down at the swarms of cultivators below.
They stopped attacking when they saw him.
“Traitor!” shouted someone from the Qing Clan. “Open the city gates and make amends for your wrongdoings!”
Qing Han responded with a nonchalant wave of her hand; inky-black weapons of war emerged atop of the city walls.
The cultivators paused when they saw the cannons, then burst into an uproar of laughter.
“Do you know how many weapons of war there are aimed at the city?” a Qing void realm genius laughed in Qing Han’s face. “Three hundred and sixty-five! The heavenly courts of the nine majors have set up three hundred and sixty-five weapons around Dusk Province!
“Your weapons of war? Just try using them, why don’t you!” Named Qing Hong, this cultivator was a secret genius of the Qing Clan. Although he wasn’t of the Qing patriarch’s bloodline, his talent was one of the best in the clan.
He’d ascended to returned void realm during the Sovereign Meet, making him only slightly lesser than the thirty-six champions and ten lords. He was now the top genius of the Qing Clan. But despite his cultivation level, he didn’t possess his own void realm methods, which prevented him from proceeding any further.
Bam!
As soon as Qing Hong delivered his taunt, one of the weapons of war lining the city wall lit up and he disintegrated in a beam of light.
Silence fell.
Cultivators and immortals observing from the dark alike gaped at Qing Han, caught off guard by the sheer audacity. There were three hundred and sixty-five weapons of war around the province, all aimed at Dusk City! How had Qing Han dared make a move?
What they didn’t know was that Qing Han had been pushed to the limits of her patience. The Lu patriarch had been assassinated, sending the clan into a frenzy, and even the Chen Clan jumped at the slightest shadows now. More importantly, Lu Yun had been missing for a month...
One last lingering shred of reason was the only thing keeping her from blowing all of the cultivators outside the city into bits. Her attack on Qing Hong was a message to these people: she was well past making empty threats and would kill them if they tried anything.
“What a waste,” Qing Han huffed, her gaze sweeping over the cultivators.
Shocked realization rippled through the crowd; Qing Han meant it was a waste to kill them with weapons of war!
“Qing Han! Dare you leave the city and fight me?!” A peak returned void realm cultivator among the thirty-six champions took flight and flashed Qing Han a mocking look. “You’re a dao sovereign under the immortal dao. Are you afraid of accepting my challenge because you have nothing to back up your title?”
This champion was human and wearing a full set of golden armor, imitating a miniature sun.
“Piss off.” Qing Han aimed another weapon of war at him.
