326: That guy is finally here! (asking for monthly ticket)

The sword light, swift as a stream of light, cleaved through the cold wind and grew larger against the wind, transforming into a giant sword about ten zhang long in an instant. With a clang, it struck the city wall's light screen.

Where the sword's edge struck, the light screen trembled violently, and then the sword tip penetrated inch by inch. Above the great sword, a Purple-Clothed Woman with water-blue eyes sparkled like a galaxy, and a golden bird mark between her brows shimmered with an inviolable sacredness.

As she appeared, the rolling Devilish Qi that blotted out the sky suddenly churned, and a ferocious Heavenly Hound condensed, revealing its terrifying form. Its demonic head rested beneath the woman's feet, and a pair of crimson-green demonic eyes shot out two beams of fluorescence, illuminating the full moon in the sky.

Immediately, the moon plummeted, shooting towards the light screen.

Moonlight cascaded down, and white frost formed in the air, quickly spreading and permeating the flickering, earthy-yellow light screen.

A thick layer of ice crystals rapidly covered the light screen, and then the enormous moon disk, like a falling moon, crashed onto the Restriction light screen.

With an earth-shattering boom.

After a day and a night of continuous confrontation, this Restriction light screen shattered like breaking glass, with a resounding crash. The moon wheel vibrated, rushing straight towards the high wall.

Above the high wall, armor gleamed, and facing the astonishing momentum of the moon wheel, a commotion erupted.

Suddenly, a cold snort came from within.

Following closely, a dazzling silver light shot out from above the high wall, heading directly for the falling moon disk.

The silver light shimmered, becoming a ten-zhang silver giant, resplendent as silver all over. The green tattoos on his face writhed like worms, revealing a ferocious appearance, and the sound of scriptures reverberated within his body. He struck the sky with both fists, causing the Void Realm to tremble, stopping the moon wheel's descent.

The Moon Qi of the moon wheel surged like a raging tide, threatening to freeze the Void Realm. White frost spread over this person's body, but it was shattered by the buzzing sound of scriptures emanating from his silver Physical Body. Terrifying Physical Body power poured out, directly resisting the Heavenly Hound Dao Fruit.

This was the power of the Gongyang family Bloodline Legacy; his Physical Body was unparalleled, having been tempered over many years, making him comparable to a human-shaped Dao weapon.

As the massive collision reverberated, beneath the dark sky of the South City, pairs of eyes flickered.

Low exclamations arose.

"Dao Fruit Demon!"

"It's the Heavenly Hound, one of the Ten Fiends, what fierce demonic might!"

At the same time, gazes fell upon the Purple-Clothed Woman standing atop the demonic Heavenly Hound, their faces filled with surprise.

"Who is this woman? She can control a Dao Fruit Demon!"

The figures around them looked on in astonishment. This woman had a noble temperament and was clearly a foreigner, but her ability to control one of the Ten Fiends created a strong contrast, leading many to speculate about her extraordinary background.

For a moment, in various buildings throughout the South City, the hidden figures' eyes became intrigued.

Things were getting more and more interesting.

A Ten Fiends Demon, a foreign woman, and a Local General of the Guard.

This seemingly disparate combination dared to openly defy the Vanguard Army dispatched by the imperial court.

The situation here seemed quite profound!

The Vanguard Army's Commander was also not weak; his massive body, resplendent as silver, was astonishing. He could withstand the Heavenly Hound Dao Fruit, and the explosive sound of air emanating from his Physical Body was enough to shatter gold and crack stone.

Was this the final death throes, or was it opening a path to survival? It was truly intriguing!

In any case, it was none of their business, so they hung back, even fearing that the world would not be in chaos. Some even sat in pavilions, facing the window, drinking to their heart's content, treating this lively spectacle as an accompaniment to their drinks.

At this moment, the Restriction light screen protecting the South City Gate shattered, and beneath the South City wall, sharp whistles sounded.

Below, Local General of the Guard Wei Zhong stood among the horses, leaping from his horseback. He brandished a black wolf-tooth club in both hands, whistling through the air towards the city wall. His eyes gleamed with a cold light, showing a determination to burn his bridges.

As he moved, red command flags immediately flew among the horses, and urgent drumbeats suddenly sounded.

Then a loud shout soared into the sky.

"Kill!"

As this cry fell, armor clanged, hooves thundered, and the horses charged onto the flying flags, making a deafening sound.

Tianxiong Pass Zhonglang General Wei Zhong led his Prefectural Army, launching a charge!

Immediately, the entire South City Gate was covered in shimmering armor, horses neighed, and the clanging of armor and shouts of battle instantly made the entire South City boil.

At this moment, the soldiers of the Tianxiong Pass Prefectural Army had firm eyes and a strong fighting spirit. A day and night of fierce fighting had completely cast aside their nervousness and worries. With fierce Killing Intent, they rode their horses onto the city.

As long as they take the South City Gate...

Just as the overwhelming gleam of armor stepped onto the city wall, suddenly, powerful spiritual lights appeared on the city wall.

On the city wall, among the restless Vanguard Army, armored figures appeared, emerging from the Vanguard Army.

Leading the way were six figures, who unreservedly revealed their Heavenly Gate Aura.

These six figures, dressed in various armors, had powerful Auras and flickering eyes. They soared into the sky, all together blocking Wei Zhong who was shooting towards them!

The six Heavenly Gate figures surrounded Wei Zhong. One of them had a cold expression and immediately began to reprimand him,

"Wei Zhong, you are truly mad! How dare you defy the imperial Heavenly Army? This is a capital offense! Quickly order your troops to retreat. For the sake of our camaraderie as fellow countrymen of Shu, when Town Demon Envoy arrives, This General will personally intercede for you, begging him to spare your life!"

A gaunt old man wearing dark golden armor and sporting a grayish-white goatee, with a cold and stern face, furrowed his brow and reprimanded Wei Zhong.

"That's right, why not surrender now? Then we can escort you to the front lines to beg for forgiveness, and perhaps the adult sent by the imperial court will have a change of heart and spare your life."

Beside him, someone looked on with cold eyes, letting out a sneer.

This person was the Yong'an Zhonglang General who had arrived first at Tianxiong Pass, and he spoke mockingly.

Clearly, these six were all Zhonglang Generals from various prefectures, in addition to the initial three, three more had arrived.

The six Zhonglang Generals surrounded Wei Zhong, seemingly persuading him to surrender, but in reality, they were mocking and reprimanding him, pressing him step by step, their Qi firmly locked onto Wei Zhong.

They thought Wei Zhong was insane.

The Town Demon Envoy sent by the imperial court was about to arrive in Shu, with a massive army pressing down. Yet, Wei Zhong dared to engage in war with his Prefectural Army. This was tantamount to seeking death, defying the imperial court, and was considered rebellion.

They had come to pay their respects with certain intentions, and encountering this situation, they naturally had to "suppress the rebellion" and make a name for themselves.

The Auras of the six surged, ready to strike at any moment.

Wei Zhong's expression darkened, and his body stiffened. The horses following him in the charge neighed anxiously.

And at this moment, a hoarse, booming laugh echoed.

"Wei Zhong, This General told you not to think of escaping. Look, even the other Zhonglang Generals think you're crazy, and even your fellow countrymen of Shu think so. See how foolish you are."

He said, with a cold sneer,

"I know who you're waiting for, but what does it matter? The Town Demon Envoy, three Deputy Commanders, and a hundred and fifty thousand troops are currently hundreds of miles outside the pass, and will arrive in an instant."

"Heh, maybe the one you're waiting for has already run outside the pass to apologize. He hasn't shown up just to pretend he doesn't know a fool like you who caused him trouble, otherwise, the person you're waiting for probably wouldn't have a good outcome either."

The laughter was piercing, carrying a hint of triumph and ferocity.

Several miles away, diagonally above, Military Commander Yang Jianshan, the Commander of the Vanguard Army who was holding back the Heavenly Hound's moon wheel, let out a cold laugh. Then, a huge metallic clang resounded from within his body. The next second, a three-legged bronze brazier spun out from beneath his feet, emitting piercing clanging sounds.

As it rapidly expanded, it directly crashed into the moon wheel. He shouted downwards, his eyes flashing with cold light, almost gnashing his teeth,

"Take him down for me, dead or alive!"

The Vanguard Army he led had been beaten to such a state by Wei Zhong's Prefectural Army, practically losing all face and becoming a laughing stock of Tianxiong Pass. This was a severe blow to his prestige. He was new here, representing his Family to control the Opportunity in Shu, and originally wanted to establish his authority with Wei Zhong, but ended up being slapped in the face.

When the main army arrived, he could imagine his embarrassment and the consequences of the matter. His position might be revoked, and he would be ridiculed by other families.

At this moment, only by killing this damned Tianxiong Pass Zhonglang General could he vent his hatred and salvage some face.

As this fell, the six Zhonglang Generals' expressions hardened, and spiritual lights appeared in their hands, revealing their Dao weapons,

"Wei Zhong, why don't you surrender!"

However, Wei Zhong's eyes gleamed with coldness and madness. He held his black wolf-tooth club horizontally, and a single word was roared out,

"Scram!"

With that, he stomped his foot, a sharp whistle erupted, and the wolf-tooth club in his hand transformed into a giant club, swinging violently around him.

In an instant, the air vibrated, roaring out, and the club's shadow, carrying an overwhelming force, smashed towards the six Heavenly Gates.

"You refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit!"

"Then don't blame us for not showing camaraderie."

"Attack!"

Some of the six Zhonglang Generals spoke with anger, righteously, unleashing their Dao weapons and attacking Wei Zhong.

In an instant, piercing roars vibrated this Void Realm, constantly bursting forth with dazzling spiritual light, severely suppressing the Aura of the Tianxiong Prefectural Army.

"This General!"

"This General!"

Some soldiers cried out in alarm, rushing to rescue him, their horses neighing wildly.

Meanwhile, Military Commander Yang Jianshan, on the other side, wielded the brazier to contend with the moon disk. At the same time, his massive silver body charged into the demonic clouds, his fists swinging fiercely, striking at the giant Heavenly Hound's true form, shattering the demonic clouds.

The Heavenly Hound roared wildly, its ferocious demonic body swinging its sharp claws, clashing with Military Commander Yang Jianshan. At the same time, beneath its ferocious exterior, it cackled and shrieked, unleashing a barrage of insults at Military Commander Yang Jianshan.

"Ow, did you put on a turtle shell? You're as hard as a turtle, making this dog's paws hurt."

"Your turtle punches too."

"Awoo, awoo."

These strange cries made Military Commander Yang Jianshan's veins throb. He let out a low growl from his throat, and the green tattoos on his body writhed like boiling water, merging into his Physical Body. His Aura immediately surged, determined to take down this foul-mouthed Heavenly Hound.

However, the Heavenly Hound calmly rolled its surrounding Devilish Qi, opened its large mouth, and swallowed the bright moon above its head, repeating its old trick.

Immediately, Military Commander Yang Jianshan lost his five senses, and everything around him turned pitch black.

Just as he was enraged and trapped by this move, he heard a strange cry, "Damn it, who ambushed this dog?"

Following that, there was a huge bang.

In the pitch-black darkness, a fiery red serpent suddenly shot up from below, directly piercing through the black prison and slamming into the Heavenly Hound's demonic body, scorching a large area of its flesh black, revealing the ferocious bloody flesh underneath.

The black prison was thus broken, the Devilish Qi shattered, and clarity returned.

Everything happened in a flash of lightning.

And after the Devilish Qi dispersed, three figures appeared in this Void Realm.

They were none other than the three from the Western Regions Holy Sect.

"It's you again!"

The Heavenly Hound had been ambushed, and its normally cunning expression now showed ferocious Killing Intent in its pupils. Its sharp fangs, as its mouth opened and closed, were full of grimness.

It said it was the Golden Lion and the black-clothed woman, these two guys had escaped from its grasp when it was careless, and now they had ambushed and wounded it. The ferocity of the demon was unleashed.

And Military Commander Yang Jianshan's silver pupils glowed brightly, looking at the three suddenly appearing figures, his eyes flickered slightly.

Three Dao Fruits!

Among them, the red-haired, green-eyed big man wearing a skull necklace had actually reached the same Realm as him, the third layer of the Dao Fruit.

The other party exuded an evil Aura, but their target was clearly the Heavenly Hound.

No, he followed the gazes of the three and looked at the noble foreign woman standing atop the Heavenly Hound's head!

It was for this woman!

However, this was not important. The corners of his mouth curved into a smile, and his eyes became ferocious.

At this moment, the red-haired, green-eyed Holy Church Protector looked at An Ge, whose expression had slightly changed, with a smiling gaze,

"This General Gongyang, this woman is ours. Hehe, she's just a bit disobedient, causing us a lot of trouble to find her. I want to take her away. This General Gongyang, you have no objections, right?"

"Oh, that's fine, but these beasts have to be slaughtered for This General."

Military Commander Yang Jianshan raised an eyebrow, then smiled, chuckling.

"Naturally!" The red-haired Holy Church Protector let out a ferocious laugh, then his body transformed into an afterimage, causing the air to shriek and explosive sounds to boom.

"Act."

In an instant, four Dao Fruits, two of which were at the third layer of the Dao Fruit, encircled the Heavenly Hound and An Ge.

The Heavenly Hound became extremely ferocious, roaring continuously. Dazzling white light erupted from its demonic body, transforming into its second form, becoming completely snow-white, its crimson-green eyes turning blood-red. It suddenly split into four demonic Clone bodies, confronting the four individuals.

Soon, this battlefield vibrated the Void Realm. The Peak confrontation below the Martial Realm was astonishing in its momentum, with the range even affecting the city below, causing widespread panic and flight.

Approximately half an hour later,

From the north, a series of tremors suddenly sounded.

Thump, thump, thump, thump.

The sound grew closer and clearer, like countless horses trampling mountains and rivers, rumbling. The sound, from far to near, made people's hearts tremble.

Immediately, below the South City, exclamations of surprise arose.

"The Town Demon Envoy's army has arrived!"

And on the Heavenly Hound's side of the battle, the red-haired Holy Church Protector's expression hardened when he heard the massive commotion coming from the north.

He didn't trust Military Commander Yang Jianshan and had to take the Lou Lan Princess away. The skull necklace on his neck suddenly flew out, and the ferocious skull heads grew larger against the wind, each about a zhang in size, numbering over a hundred. From within them came chilling and piercing wails of ghosts and wolves, heading directly for An Ge, who was wielding sword light above the Heavenly Hound's head.

The skulls exploded one by one, raising demonic sounds, causing the Heavenly Hound to cry out in pain and groan. Its surrounding Clones also scattered.

The red-haired Protector's face twisted ferociously, "This beast has been severely wounded by me, attack!"

Then he charged directly towards An Ge.

However, the Heavenly Hound's fur was disheveled at this moment, and several parts of its flesh were blurred. The crimson light in its eyes became even more ferocious. Just as it was about to curse a certain fellow, its eyes suddenly changed, and its fangs twisted into a ferocious grin,

"That guy is finally here!"

As it spoke, the four others were still unsure what was happening. Suddenly, from the south, a ground-shaking commotion, growing from far to near, was heard.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"..."

As the sound grew clearer and more urgent, like rapid drumbeats, it seemed as though a giant was rushing madly towards them!
