195: Chapter 195 Colluding with the Demon Clan
After Su Bai's words fell, the noise on the city walls vanished instantly.
Everyone looked at Tang Yu with complicated expressions.
Some of them truly did not know about this matter.
Hearing Su Bai expose this matter directly, Tang Yu's face instantly became incredibly gloomy.
Pointing at Su Bai, he began to curse: "Su Bai, you're slandering me!"
"Slandering you?"
Su Bai smiled, his gaze falling on Tang Yu as he spoke:
"Do you dare to swear before everyone present that you, Tang Yu, have not colluded with the Yao Race? That you haven't sent a single grain of food to the Yao Race? That you haven't received benefits from the Yao Race?"
Tang Yu opened his mouth but found himself unable to speak.
Su Bai snorted coldly and continued to address Tang Yu:
"Tang Yu, I didn't come to Jing Prefecture today for anything else. I came to eliminate you, a traitor, for the sake of Great Zhou, and to seek justice for the commoners killed by the Yao Race."
He drew his long saber, and Spiritual Qi instantly bloomed upon the blade.
"From the day you sided with the Yao Race, you should have expected that sooner or later, someone would come to settle this account."
Tang Yu took a deep breath, and the expression on his face gradually became hideous.
"Su Bai, stop trying to frame me."
He grinned, revealing a mouth full of yellow teeth.
"What's wrong with me siding with the Yao Race? His Majesty has been taken away, and Great Zhou is about to fall. Am I supposed to keep guarding this wretched place for him? Am I crazy?"
"The Yao Race gives me benefits, and I give them convenience; it's called getting what we each need. Su Bai, if you're smart, you can do the same as me. I know people on the Yao Race's side; I can introduce you. Perhaps you could even become a king."
Su Bai looked at him as if looking at a dead man.
"Tang Yu, you are truly beyond redemption."
"Beyond redemption?"
Tang Yu laughed loudly.
"Su Bai, wake up! In this world, staying alive is what's most important. What Great Zhou? What Human Race? Can those things put food on the table?"
He stopped laughing and looked down at Su Bai from his high position.
"I'll give you one last chance. Withdraw your troops now, and I'll act as if today's events never happened. If you insist on fighting—"
Tang Yu pointed at the faint light barrier on the city walls and said with confidence:
"My Dragon-Elephant City Protection Formation is a Fourth-grade Formation. Even if you throw in your entire army of ten thousand, you won't be able to damage a single brick or tile of my Jing Prefecture."
Hearing this, the morale of the defenders on the city walls clearly rose significantly.
Indeed, a Fourth-grade Formation.
That was something even Golden Core Stage experts would find troublesome.
Su Bai had only brought ten thousand men; how could he possibly win?
Seeing Tang Yu's smug face, Su Bai directly drew his long saber and shouted:
"Form the Heavenly Meteor Array, attack the city!"
As his voice fell.
Behind him, the sound of war drums suddenly rang out.
"Dong— Dong— Dong—"
The drumbeats were heavy, each one seeming to shake the very power of heaven and earth.
The army of ten thousand roared in unison.
"Kill—!"
The sound waves shook the heavens, as if even the clouds in the sky were being shattered.
The Formation Masters behind Su Bai immediately found their respective array cores.
They injected spiritual power into the Formation Plates simultaneously.
The runes on the Formation Plates lit up one after another.
In the sky, dark clouds began to gather.
The sound of wind came from afar.
Tang Yu's expression on the city wall changed slightly.
He hadn't expected Su Bai to attack immediately, leaving not even a shred of room for negotiation.
"Activate the formation!"
Tang Yu bellowed.
The light on the city walls instantly surged, and the translucent barrier became more solid, with dragon and elephant patterns moving across it.
The Dragon-Elephant City Protection Formation was fully activated.
Tang Yu stood on the city wall, looking at Su Bai's army, and after a cold snort, he said: "Su Bai, I'd like to see how you break my Fourth-grade Formation."
In the sky, the first meteor began to take shape.
The power of the Heavenly Meteor Array.
Su Bai had already witnessed it in Mu City.
But that time it was against ordinary city walls; this time he was facing a Fourth-grade City Protection Array, and he was uncertain.
"Boom—!"
The first meteor smashed against the light barrier.
Sparks flew in all directions, and the meteor shattered into countless small pieces. The light barrier only trembled slightly, without even a single crack.
Tang Yu saw it clearly from the city wall and laughed loudly at Su Bai:
"Is that it? Su Bai, are you here to tickle me?"
The defenders on the city wall also began to laugh.
Su Bai remained expressionless and continued to wave his hand, signaling the Formation Masters to proceed.
The second, the third, the fourth...
Meteors smashed into the light barrier one after another. Every time one hit the Dragon-Elephant City Protection Formation, it created ripples, but the Dragon-Elephant City Protection Formation remained unmoved.
Tang Yu laughed even more joyfully and mocked Su Bai loudly from above:
"Su Bai, this formation of yours isn't working! Do you want me to teach you a few powerful ones?"
Ma Lie watched from the side with burning anxiety and advised: "General, this turtle shell is too hard. The Heavenly Meteor Array can't break through it!"
Su Bai didn't speak, his eyes fixed intently on the southeast corner of the city wall.
He was waiting.
Waiting for the weakness Su Xing had mentioned to appear.
The attack of the Heavenly Meteor Array continued.
Meteor after meteor smashed into the light barrier. Although they couldn't break the formation, every impact consumed its spiritual power.
The Spirit Stones within the thirty-six formation pillars were being consumed at a visible rate.
Inside the Prince's Mansion in the center of the city.
The Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators responsible for guarding the formation pillars were all turning pale.
"Quick! Change the Spirit Stones!"
A man who looked like a manager shouted urgently.
Several servants ran over carrying Spirit Stones, hurriedly stuffing them into the formation pillars.
On the city wall, Su Bai's eyes suddenly lit up.
The light barrier at the southeast corner suddenly flickered extremely unnaturally, less than half a breath slower than the other areas.
Now was the time.
"Heavenly Meteor Array, concentrate your fire on the southeast corner!"
Su Bai roared.
The Formation Masters immediately adjusted the Formation Plates, and the meteors in the sky changed their trajectories, all smashing toward the southeast corner.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Three meteors in a row hit the same spot.
The light barrier shook violently, and cracks finally appeared at that southeast position.
Tang Yu's expression changed drastically.
"Quick! Strengthen the spiritual power supply to the southeast corner!"
But by the time they acted, it was clearly too late.
Su Bai drew his long saber and waved it behind him.
"Ma Lie, follow me!"
"Yes!"
Ma Lie spurred his horse and charged out with three hundred cultivator soldiers.
Su Bai took the lead, the spiritual light on his long saber surging.
After reaching the foot of the city wall, he kicked off the ground and soared into the air, leaping over ten zhang high.
Then, using the protrusions on the wall, he kicked again and flipped directly onto the city wall.
"Kill—!"
The moment Su Bai landed, he swept his long saber, and three defenders were instantly cut down.
Ma Lie followed closely behind, leading the three hundred cultivator soldiers as they charged up from the crack in the southeast corner.
These three hundred people were all Cultivators at the Fifth Layer of Qi Refining or higher.
Driven by spiritual power, the Spiritual Artifact sabers in their hands erupted with cold light.
Although the defenders on the city wall were numerous, most were only Cultivators at the Qi Refining First Layer or Qi Refining Second Layer; how could they possibly stop the Yunzhou Army?"}],
