429 Massacre! (1/2)
You all have to die!Chen Mu didn't realize it, but at this moment, perhaps due to the fact that he could control the puppet, he's ego was inflated. Perhaps… He had fused with the drum, such that the hatred that he could suppress previously was magnified many times, such that it broke free of his restraints and made him a maniac.
This madness was shown clearly on Chen Mu's face. His eyes conveyed his thirst for blood, and the urge was about to become uncontrollable. The anticipation of revenge and the myriad of emotions he was feeling made the puppet python that he was controlling glow blindingly blood-red. A wave of cultivation on the level of perfected Core Formation realm was about to be unleashed!
As it was unleashed, the python hit the protective array formation of the city violently again.
In the blink of an eye, its skull hit the light screen of the array formation. A loud boom reverberated, and the array formation vibrated vigorously, cracking even more. It seemed to be on the brink of breaking down, unable to withstand further impact!
Once it broke down, it could be imagined that the blood-colored fog in the external environment would rush into the city. It would cover the entire region as if it was devouring it, and envelope all the cultivators inside the new city!
As for the consequence… It would be a catastrophe!
However, right now, it wasn't just the python clashing with the array formation on the outside. Inside the city, there was a Beast Tide happening in Fang Jing's zone. With trouble brewing both inside and outside the city, the new city was in chaos. Thankfully, at this crucial juncture, Fang Jing didn't selfishly think about her personal safety. She was also becoming a maniac, activating every person and every resource from the Plume Manifestation Connate Sect to put in their all in an attempt to lock down the catacombs.
She couldn't lose, nor could let such chaos happen in her zone. She wasn't able to bear with the consequences, and the Plume Manifestation Connate Sect would be implicated as well. She would lose her job. All this made Fang Jing extremely stressed. However, she had long given up all hope. The python in the sky was clearly planning for its third collision with the array formation.
As the loud boom reverberated, all the cultivators in the city grew extremely anxious. It was also at this time that Wang Baole's voice spread throughout the entire city through the broken array formation.
”Wen Huai, Chen Mu, Li Wan'er, the three of you are to support Fang Jing. You have half an hour, and regardless of the consequences, you are to suppress the catacombs!
”Kong Dao, Jin Duoming, Lin Tianhao, the three of you will lead all the Core Formation realm cultivators and make the necessary preparations. Your target is the python outside the protective covering of the array formation!”
”I will open the protective array formation to lure the python in before sealing it again. This is a battle we must win. The Governor is already aware of this and is on her way here!” Wang Baole's voice was calm and immensely confident. His confidence was also motivating all the cultivators in the city now.
However, in reality, this confidence didn't come from the Governor… Even though the first thing Wang Baole did was to inform the Governor, he found out that the fog was disrupting all communications, and that no messages could be sent out.
As for why he wanted to open the protective shield of the array formation and allow the python to enter, that was because… even if it wasn't opened, in at most five minutes, the array formation would be broken down. Then, not only would the python rush in, but large amounts of blood-colored fog would also enter. The fog restricts spirits, and once it filled the city… all the cultivators in the city would instantly become commoners. When the python began killing, there wouldn't be any chance of turning the situation around!
Therefore, only by opening the array formation and allowing the python to enter could he ride on the sheer number of cultivators to continually expend resources to buy time. This was to delay the crisis from happening and await the right opportunity!
This wasn't a difficult choice, but it required one to be bold. In the face of imminent danger, one's instinct would be to block the danger out. Therefore, when Wang Baole sent out his orders, he wanted others to sense the calmness that was derived from his confidence. This was the only way he could create a collective consciousness for everyone to persevere on!
At the same time, Wang Baole wasn't without a backup plan. After all, this was his city, his Eternal Fortress!
