139: Our General's Visiting Card (asking for monthly ticket)

“Son!”

A thunderous roar of fury echoed above the Li Residence.

A crimson firelight, under the dim sky, streaked across like a fiery cloud.

“You're courting death!”

The firelight split into two; one plummeted beside the gruesomely fallen corpse, while the other transformed into a dazzling, fiery large bird, letting out a screech as it pounced towards the Black Armored Soldiers!

The terrifying, scorching heat made the air sizzle, and its speed was incredibly fast.

“Form up!”

The leading Lang Jiang shouted sharply.

The Fashan Flags on the backs of the armored soldiers flew up with a whoosh, growing larger with the wind, stacking layer upon layer to form a flag curtain, shimmering with golden light, blocking everyone's front.

“Boom!”

The three-zhang-sized ferocious fire bird, carrying a surging blaze, crashed into the ten-zhang-tall Fashan Flag curtain, producing a deafening roar.

Flames blazed, scattering sparks everywhere, which landed on nearby rockeries, flowers, plants, and pavilions, instantly igniting them.

The flag curtain, however, severely dented, humming and vibrating, seemingly about to break. At this moment, some of the armored soldiers, unhurried and in perfect unison, changed their hand seals. The surrounding small flags dispersed, suddenly rising horizontally, their tips flashing with sharpness, then whooshing sounds filled the air as they shot towards the struggling and crashing fire bird.

“Puff, puff, puff!”

Explosions rang out one after another.

After a few breaths, the fire bird exploded with a boom, vanishing into thin air.

Meanwhile, the horses beneath the soldiers neighed a few times, their hooves restless.

“Fa Shan Army!”

A gritting, resentful voice rang out.

Li Wanhao, the Li Family Patriarch, dressed in a red round-necked flying cloud robe, held his son's corpse, which had turned into a pool of blood. His leopard-like eyes seemed to bulge from their sockets, staring intently at the fluttering Fashan Flag.

“I'm going to flay you all!”

Each word was squeezed through clenched teeth. Intense killing intent stirred up a fierce wind around him, and a powerful, unmatched Heavenly Gate Aura caused a resonating shriek in the air.

However, at this moment, a hurried, panting voice interrupted him.

“Patriarch!”

“These people are Ninth Mountain Army. Their Zhonglang General just arrived at Tianxiong Pass. As soon as he appeared, he beheaded a Fourth Heavenly Gate in front of tens of thousands of people in the South City.”

The scarred man returned from the main hall, panting. Seeing the Black Armored Soldiers who had broken in and started a massacre, an inexplicable chill rose in his heart, and he shouted from a distance.

They were just in the South City, and now they've come to the East City; clearly, they're here with great momentum!

This shout made Patriarch Li Wanhao's Aura falter, and his eyes narrowed.

This happened?

At this moment, a green figure flashed out of the Void Realm and landed beside Li Wanhao. It was none other than Yuan Lie, the main family's retainer.

He squinted his eyes, which gleamed brightly, and surveyed the surroundings, about to speak.

However, he saw one person from this Ninth Mountain Army troop pull on his reins and step forward.

It was Lang Jiang Liu Qing!

Liu Qing advanced on horseback. Even when facing the two Fourth Heavenly Gates of the Li Family, the look in his eyes beneath his helmet remained unchanged; he spoke indifferently:

“Patriarch Li,”

“By the order of my Ninth Mountain Zhonglang General!”

“We have come to pay a visit!”

“This is my General's challenge!”

Saying this, Liu Qing took a black bundle from his lower back and directly threw it towards Li Wanhao.

Li Wanhao's eyes flashed with fierce light, his expression shifted, and a surge of Qi manifested from the Void Realm around him, flying towards the incoming bundle.

Mid-flight, the Qi directly shattered the black cloth wrapped around it.

Suddenly, a head with wide-open eyes, a full beard, and a gruesome bloody face appeared directly in Li Wanhao's vision.

When the Li Family Patriarch saw the head clearly, his eyebrows twitched wildly, and an uncontrollable killing intent surged out as he swallowed.

“Second Brother!”

He let out a furious roar, raising his hand to catch the bearded man's head, but saw Yuan Lie beside him, staring at the rapidly flying head, a warning sign flashing in his heart.

“Don't touch it!”

He waved his hand, flicking out a sharp, cold glint about a foot long, which directly shattered the head that was only ten zhang away from them.

Immediately, red and white matter flew everywhere.

“You…” Li Wanhao's eyes couldn't help but fill with a vicious gleam. That was his own blood brother.

He had many sons, and if one died, there were others, but...

Just as the Li Family Patriarch was still in shock and anger, he saw three golden streams of light fly out from the exploded head, rapidly approaching the two of them and quickly growing larger.

“It's a trick!” Yuan Lie's eyebrows twitched, and he roared, his figure suddenly vanishing into the Void Realm.

Li Wanhao roared, spitting out a flame from his mouth, and his body also soared into the air.

But at such a close distance, even if the two reacted quickly, the three golden streams of light arrived in an instant!

Then, with a boom, they dispersed. The three golden lights positioned themselves in the three cardinal points of the Void Realm, humming and vibrating.

Three black-bottomed, gold-edged mountain-patterned Fashan Flags, ten zhang tall, fluttered in the wind in the Void Realm, and the mountain-shaped diagram within them quickly glowed golden.

“These are the Zhonglang General Flags!”

In the Void Realm, Yuan Lie's figure was forced to reappear, his eyes shooting out countless cold lights, recognizing these as the Fashan Flags held by a Zhonglang General.

This meant that the Ninth Mountain Zhonglang General was nearby, and he hadn't detected any Aura from him.

He made a decisive decision: he couldn't let the Fa Shan Army's Felling Mountain Formation encircle them. With a flick of his sleeve, a black bead the size of a bowl flew out.

Silver-white lightning crackled on it, and as its Aura surged, it grew to a zhang in size, with foot-thick lightning snakes wildly leaping, becoming extremely unstable, and a violent, destructive Aura emanated from it.

This was a one-time Thunder Fire Treasure Bead he had refined using his Dao Soldiers to draw upon the Heaven and Earth Thunder Fire, combined with Geng Metal.

In an instant, the Thunder Fire Treasure Bead blasted towards one spot in the Void Realm.

Lightning roared, a deafening boom sounded, and the Fashan Flag vibrated wildly.

And at this moment,

A chilling, cold shout exploded throughout the entire Li Residence.

“Trying to escape?!”

“Order: Form the Formation!”

As the words fell, the Ninth Mountain Army's flag curtain split in the middle, and a golden figure flew in from outside the Li Residence's courtyard wall.

At the same time, the Ninth Mountain Army roared, simultaneously forming hand seals, and with a wave of their arms, flag after flag, like a flowing curtain, flew towards the Zhonglang General Fashan Flag.

And then, the golden figure flew and landed on one of the flags, then moved wildly underfoot, like walking on waves, flying directly to the side of the Felling Mountain Great Formation. At this moment, a green light had already flown out from the Great Formation, and behind it, a red light wanted to fly out along the broken Restriction.

Within the golden light, Chen Yuan's eyes burst forth with brilliance. Immediately after, he spread his hands outwards, and a Three-Pointed, Double-Edged Spear appeared.

Then, with a whoosh, the long spear in his hand suddenly swept towards the red light that was trying to rush out.

A violent power, like mountains pressing down, poured out, making the Void Realm tremble.

Inside, the Li Family Patriarch felt an overwhelming sense of suffocation. His face changed drastically, and he opened his mouth to spit out a crimson-gold gourd, which rapidly grew to three or four zhang. Flames surged out from the gourd's mouth, transforming into fiery birds that met the attack.

However, in an instant, before the fiery birds even touched the long spear, they flashed and exploded, letting out cries of lament.

The next second.

“Clang!”

A deafening roar that echoed for dozens of li.

The long spear swept with immense force, landing on the crimson-gold gourd.

The crimson-gold gourd vibrated violently, and the Li Family Patriarch felt as if he had been struck by a heavy blow, his body trembling suddenly.

“Boom!”

Qi waves exploded. The Li Family Patriarch and his crimson-gold gourd were directly smashed backward, falling back into the Great Formation.

At this moment, the Felling Mountain Army flags had already taken their positions, settling in the four directions of the Void Realm, completing the Formation.

Immediately, a loud hum arose, and the golden light converged in three places, shooting onto the three Zhonglang General Flags. Three golden mountain phantoms quickly solidified, manifesting from the flags, and roared towards Li Wanhao.

All of this happened in a flash.

Chen Yuan, at this moment, ignored the Li Family Patriarch who was trapped in the Formation. His long spear let out a bloodthirsty shriek, and he suddenly turned his head to look at the green-robed figure escaping from the Formation, his eyes filled with excitement.

An unexpected gain?

From what he understood from other Zhonglang Generals, the Li Family only had one Fourth Heavenly Gate, the Li Family Patriarch. He hadn't expected there to be another one here.

He felt that his Dao Soldiers were becoming more and more eager for slaughter, reaching a critical point.

His Dao Soldiers were one with him.

Representing his Divine Ability and state of mind.

“Kill!”

He roared hoarsely, his feet adorned with flowing light.

On the opposite side, Yuan Lie felt Chen Yuan's killing intent and excitement, which made his eyebrows twitch.

An inexplicable anger welled up in his heart.

Damn it, he felt a chilling sensation of being targeted as prey.

He narrowed his eyes, and two shimmering blue-silver hammers appeared in his hands.

“Clang!”

He slammed the two hammers together, and a silver lightning bolt about a foot thick transformed into a lightning snake, meeting Chen Yuan.

Meanwhile, on the ground, the Li Residence was in utter chaos.

The Eldest Young Master of the Li Residence saw his father trapped by the Felling Mountain Great Formation, roaring repeatedly as he was struck by the three golden mountains. His face darkened, and then he looked at the Ninth Mountain Army who were supporting the Formation Flags. He grabbed a subordinate who was fleeing in all directions and roared:

“Don't panic!”

“Kill those soldiers, and the Formation can be broken.”

“Attack!”

At this moment, a group of people looked up at the sky, exchanged glances, and with a flicker in their eyes, nodded in mutual understanding.

Then, this group, their Auras bursting forth, rushed towards the Eldest Young Master of the Li Residence, quickly forming an encirclement.

The Eldest Young Master of the Li Residence looked at these heads of small and medium-sized forces who had just been furious but dared not speak. His eyes narrowed, and he said sharply, “What do you want to do? Do you think that Zhonglang General can defeat two Heavenly Gate experts? I advise you not to be foolish. Wait until my father is free…”

However, one of them directly spat.

“Bah, so what? Anyway, we don't want to be meat on your Li Family's chopping block.”

“Everyone, what are you waiting for? Kill!”

In an instant, these dozen or so Divine Ability experts, almost all of whom were Body Profound, swarmed forward.

It took almost only two or three breaths.

A scream.

The Eldest Young Master of the Li Residence, who had just been arrogant and would casually kill these people, died at the hands of this group.

And these leaders of small and medium-sized forces, seeing that they had already killed an Eldest Young Master and thus formed a mortal enmity, then turned their gaze to the Li Family members.

“Kill!”
