855: One person dominates a city

The Guardian Array of Blade City has been activated, and the defensive barrier covering the entire city emits a faint yellow light.

Seen from afar in the night, it looks like a glowing bowl inverted on the ground.

At this moment.

The city is brightly lit.

Wang Chen stood on the flat ground and looked into the distance, clearly seeing the Undead Warriors arrayed on the city wall.

These Undead Warriors were different from those in the Undead gathering places he had previously slaughtered; the difference was like that between militia and regular troops.

Every Undead Warrior wore neat armor, and the blades they held were incredibly sharp, emitting a faint spiritual glow.

Clearly, they were all extraordinary equipment.

Wang Chen's gaze swept over them, and there were thousands of such Undead Warriors, each with a considerable power fluctuation.

In addition, among these Undead Warriors, there were two with the strongest auras.

At this moment, they stood atop the gate tower of Blade City, looking towards this side with wary eyes.

Even from a great distance, Wang Chen could see the tension on their faces.

These two Undead were the remaining two Great Commanders of the Blade City Guardian Legion, Doreina, who possessed Early Stage Ninth Rank strength, and Urshan.

The death of Zoltan had undoubtedly placed immense psychological pressure on them, and with their minds unsettled, even the power within their bodies could not be fully contained and instinctively overflowed.

However…

Wang Chen merely glanced at these two Great Commanders of the Blade City Guardian Legion; his gaze swept back and forth along Blade City's nearly twenty-mile-long city wall, searching for Gugor's figure.

But unfortunately, he found nothing in the end.

"This guy seems to have been severely injured in the previous battle and has run back to his lair to heal."

"I wonder how much longer his remaining lifespan can sustain his Peak state."

Holding the tentacles on Zoltan's head in one hand, Wang Chen thought with a hint of amusement.

At this moment, with Gugor injured, attacking Blade City seemed like a good opportunity.

However, Wang Chen did not intend to act at this time.

That sturdy defensive barrier was a huge problem, and even with his strength, he found it incredibly tricky.

According to current observations, to shatter the defensive barrier activated by the Blade City Guardian Array, one would need at least the power equivalent to a Late Stage Ninth Rank Great True Lord from the Netherworld, and it would have to be a full-force strike from a strong Great True Lord.

Wang Chen possessed such a method, but he could not use it now.

If Gugor remained hidden in his lair, using this method would only create trouble for himself.

After all, to unleash the power of a Great True Lord, he needed to borrow Zhao Tianci, the True Disciple of Xuantian Holy Land.

If Wang Chen were to kill Zhao Tianci now, the attack of the Supreme Elder of Xuantian Sacred Ground, a Late Stage Ninth Rank Great True Lord, would undoubtedly fall on him first.

Making an enemy of Xuantian Holy Land was not Wang Chen's desire.

The best method was to "kill with a borrowed knife," allowing the Undead of Blade City to do the deed.

This way, Zhao Tianci's death would become more valuable to Wang Chen.

As for giving Gugor more time to heal while waiting, Wang Chen did not care at all.

In the previous battle, he had already probed Gugor's true strength.

Gugor, with Middle Stage Ninth Rank strength, naturally had an overwhelming advantage against weaker opponents, but if he encountered an opponent of the same Rank, he could be considered finished.

After all, Gugor, old and infirm, relying on annual blood sacrifices to extend his lifespan, could not fight for long; each burst of Peak combat power would consume his dwindling lifespan.

The Undead's annual blood sacrifice had not yet begun, and if battles of that intensity occurred a few more times, Gugor himself would fall into decay.

Moreover…

Waiting for a period of time was also beneficial to Wang Chen.

He could completely annihilate all Undead gathering places in the Demon Beast Forest, except for Blade City, to enhance his strength and increase his chances of victory.

At the same time, his threat was certainly the greatest in the eyes of all Undead in Blade City, so the defensive barrier of the Guardian Array would inevitably be activated at full power twenty-four hours a day.

Wang Chen had some understanding of the consumption of this thing.

The daily activation consumed an extremely exaggerated amount of energy or crystals.

Blade City continuously maintaining the activation of the Guardian Array's defensive barrier would definitely be an extremely challenging burden.

After a few days of activation, if Wang Chen did not come, they would certainly choose to temporarily shut it down to alleviate the energy consumption.

This would be Wang Chen's opportunity.

At that time, he would break into Blade City, and the preserved Zhao Tianci could be used; simultaneously, he would tie down the high-end combat power in Blade City, allowing Xuanqing Snake King to destroy the core nodes of the Guardian Array.

"I'll temporarily deposit these experience points here."

Looking at Doreina and Urshan, the Great Commanders of the Blade City Guardian Legion, who were arrayed on the city wall, Wang Chen grinned, then waved at them.

At the same same time, the head of Zoltan, which he held in his hand, drew a graceful arc in the air, flipping as it flew towards Blade City.

Wang Chen did not use much force, so Zoltan's head did not fly fast; in the eyes of cultivators with decent strength, such a speed could be seen as slow motion.

Therefore…

As Zoltan's head flipped forward, the expression of his unclosed eyes was clearly seen by all the Undead in Blade City.

The fear and malice deeply hidden in his lifeless pupils made the Undead Warriors standing on the city wall instinctively grip the blades in their hands, their bodies trembling with anger.

That was one of their Guardian Legion's Great Commanders, a strong individual with Early Stage Ninth Rank strength.

Now, the head of such a strong individual was being tossed over by the Human Race not far away, as if it were trash.

Disdain, insult…

Completely undisguised!

If they hadn't personally witnessed Zoltan, a dignified Great Commander with Early Stage Ninth Rank strength, being effortlessly subdued and then subjected to hellish torture right before their eyes.

The anger in the hearts of these Undead Warriors standing on the city wall would have broken through their reason, and they would have charged down to tear that Human Race into shreds.

But now, after the initial anger, all the Undead Warriors felt a deep fear.

Not long ago, the City Lord returned injured, and the other two Great Commanders stood on the city wall, daring not to speak despite their anger.

All of this indicated that the Human Race Strong on the opposite side possessed incomparably formidable strength, capable of suppressing their entire Blade City into silence by himself.

This caused unease to surface in the hearts of all the Undead Warriors on the city wall.

And atop the city tower, Doreina and Urshan stood side by side, their gazes following the trajectory of Zoltan's head, their auras growing increasingly unstable.
