120: Destroy the city!
"It is said that the Three-Tailed Lizard Clan originally lived in caves, in these very mountains; they hollowed them out and built cities inside."
Chu Yuan looked at the city on the mountain in front of him and asked curiously, "Then why did they move out?"
Wang Ying smiled, "Later, they discovered that a single strike from a powerful expert could collapse the mountain, killing everyone inside without even needing to finish them off... So they changed their way of life and started building cities on the surface. Outside, at least there might be some survivors."
"Now that you put it that way, it feels like they are actually quite pitiful..."
"Soft-hearted?"
"Not really. Are you doing it, or am I?"
"You do it. It's a chance for me to witness the methods of a great Genius."
Chu Yuan released his Divine Sense. The city below was about the size of Chenyang City; inside, the Three-Tailed Lizards were going about their daily lives, walking in a hurry, completely unaware that a great disaster was imminent...
He felt a bit reluctant to keep watching, although Chu Yuan never considered himself a good person;
He could kill his enemies without hesitation, and he could slaughter exotic beasts in the snowy mountains for a treasure. But to exterminate an entire intelligent species... it was hard not to feel some empathy, and accidentally, a little bit of identification...
Forget it, don't look. Just treat them as a group of ordinary exotic beasts. Who told your leadership to make the wrong choice? Not of my kind...
Wang Ying had wanted to see how Chu Yuan would act. A Supernatural Realm Martial Artist already had the strength to sweep through a city.
Even though battles between Martial Artists, whether they were Fifth Realm or Sixth Realm, didn't seem to cause much commotion, that was only because the power was restrained and directed entirely at the opponent. The affected area was naturally small; this was an instinct of the strong!
But in a situation like this, a Martial Artist could also actively disperse the power of their attack, much like water droplets turning into water vapor, covering a larger area!
The attack power might drop to the Yukong Realm or even the Inner Breath Realm... but it would still be more than enough.
Judging by her own strength, with the scale of the city at her feet, she could destroy about one-twentieth of the area in one full-power strike while ensuring lethality.
That is to say, she would need to strike twenty times to clear this city. She was curious, how many times would Chu Yuan need to attack?
Unexpectedly, Chu Yuan stood in place and didn't attack at all...
Just as she was about to ask, she perceived a phantasmagorical seven-colored ripple spreading out from Chu Yuan's body!
In an instant, the hairs on Wang Ying's arms stood up, as if her life and death were in someone else's hands!
In the Void Realm, seven-colored light also appeared, pure and clear, with a feeling of supreme beauty...
The ripple swept silently across the city below.
Wang Ying saw a Three-Tailed Lizard leap into the air and then fall abruptly...
All phenomena receded. Chu Yuan sighed, "Let's go."
"... Are they all dead?" Wang Ying couldn't help asking, a look of confusion on her face, like 'What just happened?'
"Yes." Chu Yuan nodded;
Wang Ying couldn't help but descend a little to see the scene in the city more clearly.
Countless corpses of Three-Tailed Lizards lay scattered on the roadside, in shops... Their faces still held the expressions from the last moment;
Some were happy, some irritable, some calm... But at this moment, they were all frozen!
The strongest Three-Tailed Lizard in this city was perhaps the Fourth Realm one that had just leaped into the air.
But under the ripple's influence, it had also died instantly, without even having a chance to see the culprit...
"Is this the mental attack you are 'good at'?"
Wang Ying said, feeling a bit dreamy. She always felt that everyone's definition of 'good at' seemed to have some deviation.
Chu Yuan explained, "I specifically bought this mental Martial Skill from the Zhenwu Bureau System... It was very expensive!"
"I hate rich people..." Wang Ying said gloomily. This explanation was actually easier to accept...
"Let's go, we're going to the next place."
"No rush, let's loot first." Wang Ying quickly put the previous matter behind her. That Chu Yuan could reach the Divine Power Realm was already the biggest absurdity!
As for the rest, a few more unreasonable things didn't matter; anyway... the stronger Chu Yuan was, the better it was for her...
"Loot?"
"Although the Three-Tailed Lizard is just a small alien race, it's not like they don't have anything valuable. Since no one is using it anymore, wouldn't it be a waste to leave it here?" She rolled her eyes at Chu Yuan, looking a bit charming;
"..." Actually, Chu Yuan never knew how to address his teammates.
For example, Wang Ying and Li Mengru; the former was delicate and pure, the latter was sexy and hot, looking to be at the most beautiful age.
But in reality, both women were at least much older than Han Cui. It was just that Martial Artists had long lifespans and techniques to maintain their youth, so they looked so young...
Any address felt inappropriate...
Now, thinking that a woman older than his own mother was making this expression at him... it felt quite awkward...
"Let's go, why are you standing there?" Wang Ying seemed to have misunderstood something and said with some concern, "Otherwise, just let me do it in the future; you just focus on dealing with their strong experts."
"I'm fine."
"Are you really fine?" Wang Ying looked into Chu Yuan's eyes. "Actually, I can understand this feeling of yours. When I first started, I also wondered if this was too cruel. Great Qin educated us too well...
But the Outer Heaven Battlefield is just like this. If you aren't cruel enough, you won't get respect! You only know that the Three-Tailed Lizard Clan betrayed us, but do you know what they actually did?"
Chu Yuan asked curiously, "What?"
"Switching sides isn't just about talking or issuing a statement... A while ago, when the Ninth Legion was at war with the Crystal Fire Clan, the Three-Tailed Lizard Clan ambushed the legion members who were resting in the Lianshan Secret Realm, using them as a 'gift' to switch sides!
It caused us to lose hundreds of elite Martial Artists... Among them, some might have grown into stronger individuals, becoming the backbone of Great Qin!
They didn't die in battle against a strong enemy... but died in a cowardly ambush!"
Chu Yuan's gaze became sharp, and the uncomfortable feeling in his heart quickly faded. He said slowly, "Roughly speaking, Great Qin might have lost several future Eighth Realm or even Ninth Realm Martial Artists!?"
"..." Wang Ying thought to herself that it wasn't quite that exaggerated, but she echoed, "You could say that."
"Then it seems this grudge is truly irreconcilable." Chu Yuan hesitated for a moment and said, "I know a Formation..."
