126: Chapter 126 Releasing the floodwaters summons heavenly lightning! Ailao Pass is like a giant cauldron, simmering bones for soup for thirty years!

Using giant cannons to level the mountaintop, he allowed the Floating Island with a diameter of 6,330 meters to sit atop Death Valley.

After the Floating Island sat atop Death Valley, the river on the island flowed all the way to the edge, forming a spectacular waterfall.

The river on the Floating Island was like a heavenly river; to describe it with a poem, it was "flying down three thousand feet."

Massive amounts of river water fell from the island, the roar echoing like the momentum of ten thousand galloping horses, as rolling waves swept away all undead creatures.

The pouring water soon filled Death Valley, and the water level inside Ailao Pass rose rapidly: 20 cm, 50 cm, 1 meter!

Ailao Pass wasn't large inside, so water accumulated easily, flooding their underground tunnels and filling every passage.

Seeing Xu Xuan using the river water from the Floating Island to flood the area below, Miyamoto Takeshi felt speechless.

[Nearby Chat Channel]

[Miyamoto Takeshi: Xu-san, don't you know the undead don't need to breathe? Even if you drown all of Death Valley, they can still move underwater.]

[William: What are you doing!! Stop making trouble. The undead aren't afraid of water; this just makes it impossible for us to attack!]

[Jack: A genius... you really are a genius. Great, now we're not good at fighting underwater.]

Everyone watched Xu Xuan's operation of flooding Death Valley with helpless expressions.

This operation was so brain-dead; didn't he know the undead aren't afraid of water? They don't need to breathe and won't drown.

Even if Xu Xuan filled all the caves with water, the undead could still stroll happily underwater, living quite comfortably.

Not only was the human side speechless, but inside the Suspended Fortress in the rift...

Oda Nobunaga saw the accumulated water below, his eyes showing contempt for Xu Xuan.

"A water attack is useless against us. This lord named Xu Xuan is the number one in Great Xia?"

Oda Nobunaga had been looking forward to it, since the newcomer was the so-called number one lord of Great Xia, Xu Xuan, but this flooding tactic was truly a poor move.

Flooding zombies, skeletons, and ghouls—what use is that?

Just as everyone failed to understand Xu Xuan's move and was greatly disappointed in him...

On the island, Xu Xuan spoke calmly: "Lei Zhenzi, Grand Preceptor Wen, are you ready?"

The six-meter-six tall Lei Zhenzi and Grand Preceptor Wen atop the Black Kirin were both ready.

"Lei Zhenzi, I have already constructed the Lightning Attraction Array. As the lightning rod, it's up to you to guide it!"

The dark-green-skinned Lei Zhenzi snorted hot air and began flapping his wings, using his Wind and Thunder Wings to summon a thunderstorm!

The previously clear sky suddenly filled with gathering clouds.

The white clouds turned gray, then darker as they gathered. Thunderclouds rolled and rubbed, with eerie electric snakes dancing within the layers.

Thunder rumbled, the low sound pressing on everyone's nerves. The black clouds above felt like a giant stone pressing down on everyone's heads.

Crack!

A bolt of lightning struck down!

Followed by a dense and violent thunderstorm!

Xu Xuan sat atop the high tower, watching the flashes. Dozens of lightning bolts struck the accumulated water in Ailao Pass every second.

Lightning hit the water surface, exploding into countless tiny electric snakes scurrying through the water.

The water, which was no threat to the undead, was now full of lightning. Dense electric snakes attacked every undead in the water.

Zombie flesh was already stiff; under the lightning attack, it shriveled directly.

The zombies, ghouls, and skeletons swollen from soaking were roasted alive by the electricity in the water!

At this time, Xu Xuan could smell a very strange scent.

What scent?

It smelled like stewed bone broth. The entire Ailao Pass had become a giant pot.

Fun fact: a single bolt of lightning can boil three tons of water. With dozens of strikes per second, the smell of bone broth wafted from Ailao Pass under the continuous electrocution.

Sitting on the high tower, Xu Xuan sniffed: "The smell is so fragrant. It makes me hungry, I want to stew a pot of Cantonese soup."

Because of the Lightning Attraction Array, Xu Xuan wasn't afraid of being struck despite sitting high up.

On a rainy day, without the array, the lightning would have surely hit Xu Xuan first.

Now, every undead creature hiding in the Ailao Pass tunnels was being stewed in a single pot.

This left Su Daji shocked: "Great King, you... what a clever plan, what a devious plan..."

Su Daji had to admit she lacked imagination.

When the Great King asked her to plan the attack before, she hadn't thought of this move.

Flooding Ailao Pass with the Floating Island's river and then inducing heavenly thunder to heat and stew the soup—bone broth stewed for thirty years, truly professional.

In the Suspended Fortress inside Ailao Pass, Lu Bu was also secretly excited.

He was at the scene and saw it more clearly than anyone else.

[Lu Bu: My lord is truly a god! To use flooding and heavenly thunder to stew all the undead.]

The other divine generals also had to admire the Great King's imaginative ideas.

The key was that it was effective.

Grand Preceptor Wen constructed the Lightning Attraction Array, Lei Zhenzi summoned the thunderclouds—marvelous! Marvelous!

The divine generals watched with excitement. Out of the 500,000-strong Undead Legion, at least 400,000 were struggling in the water.

Soon, one could see the stewed and boiled-apart zombies and ghouls floating on the water.

Their flesh was cooked off the bone; the scene was... very eerie.

A scent of meat and bone broth floated over the water in Ailao Pass.

An army of 500,000, defeated without losing a single soldier, without entering the caves, without a meat-grinder battle.

According to Lu Bu's style, 100,000 lives wouldn't be enough to fill those holes; the tunnels of Ailao Pass were full of traps, and no matter how many soldiers went in, it would be futile.

Basically, the war was nearing its end.

Only the few thousand troops in the Suspended Fortress remained, along with Oda Nobunaga, Li Shunyao, and a few other Necromancer Lords.

With Lu Bu still on the inside, there was basically no suspense in this battle.

Miyamoto Takeshi, Jack, and the others watching from the periphery were all stunned.

"In the era of Spiritual Qi Recovery, can you even do this?"

"So... what's the point of the matchlock gun I just researched?"

"This... this is just too ridiculous."

They thought that if Xu Xuan attacked their cities, flooded them, and induced heavenly thunder, they... they would probably be stewed into a pot of soup too.

While everyone was terrified of Xu Xuan's strength...

Lu Bu suddenly sent a message.

[Lu Bu: My lord! Behind Ailao Pass, the enemy used spirit mines to construct a portal to the Undead World. The undead army is coming! At least 1,000 Bone Dragons are flying toward Ailao Pass. Please prepare your defenses, my lord!]}],
