The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2566: Chapter 2566: City in Peril

A cold gleam flashed, and blood poured from the bandit leader’s eyes.

He wasn’t dead, but one eye had been blinded.

”Scram!” Zhao Yijun flipped his palm, and a fierce wind sent the terrified bandit leader flying out of sight.

Zhao Yijun intentionally spared the bandit leader’s life, which wasn’t because he suddenly became kind-hearted. Someone like him acts as he pleases; he’ll kill if he wants to kill, and won’t kill if he doesn’t feel like it. Perhaps he intended to wipe out all the bandits one moment, and the next, he changed his mind and spared the leader, leaving him with a lifelong memory of today’s ordeal.

”Let’s go; it’s crucial to handle the important matter,” Zhang Motie said, and after speaking, his figure flickered, leading the way into the Thunder Region.

Zhao Yijun chuckled sinisterly and followed. Chen Feng similarly slipped away into the distance.

Thus, the three black-clad Killing Stars from Yama Palace entered the Thunder Region.

Nanping City, located at the edge of the Thunder Region, is a city entirely controlled by Hongmeng City.

On the streets within the city, the City Guard patrols frequently pass by.

Among the many cities in the Thunder Region, Nanping City is considered a city of intermediate scale. According to the Tianyin City ranking, Nanping City more or less meets the standard of a one-star city.

The City Lord of Nanping City is an ordinary Immortal Venerate realm cultivator named Weng Mohan, one of Jing Yan’s earliest followers. Weng Mohan broke through to the Immortal Venerate realm in Hongmeng City more than twenty thousand years ago. When Weng Mohan entered the Immortal Venerate realm, Jing Yan specifically summoned him. Over twenty thousand years, Weng Mohan’s realm has not advanced to the middle-stage Immortal Venerate, but his ability to manage a city like Nanping City is more than adequate.

At this time, Weng Mohan is directing some Array Masters to strengthen the city’s formation. Because Nanping City is close to the Thunder Region’s edge, the city might be affected first once the war begins. Weng Mohan doesn’t think Nanping City can hold, but he aims to let the city serve as a buffering effect as much as possible.

Weng Mohan is unaware that at this very moment, three of Yama Palace’s black-clad Killing Stars are quietly arriving outside Nanping City. In Weng Mohan’s awareness, the Alliance Army led by Yama Palace should take at least another twenty to thirty years to reach the outskirts of the Thunder Region in large numbers.

”The scale of this city looks quite decent,” said Zhao Yijun, whose fierce demeanor gazed at the city ahead, as the three black-clad Killing Stars halted outside Nanping City.

”Hmm, let’s check the relevant information about this city,” Chen Feng nodded.

Subsequently, Chen Feng took out his Communication Magical Treasure to inquire about the city’s information with Yama Palace’s intelligence personnel.

A moment later, he received feedback.

”This city is called Nanping City. It’s directly controlled by Hongmeng City. The City Lord is named Weng Mohan, in the early-stage Immortal Venerate realm, recently elevated to Immortal Venerate. His name is still listed on the Immortal Venerable Silver Tablet,” Chen Feng relayed the main information about Nanping City to the other two black-clad Killing Stars.

”Excellent, excellent!” Zhao Yijun’s eyes gleamed viciously. ”Shall we begin? Let’s start with this city as the target! Hey, catching that Weng Mohan, I want to crush him!”

”Yes, let’s do it!” Zhang Motie also nodded.

The three beams of black light suddenly accelerated, arriving above Nanping City.

”Die, trash!” Zhao Yijun struck first to attack the city after reaching above it.

The brutal energy fiercely hit the city’s Guardian Array, producing a piercing explosive sound as the entire city shook.

”What’s going on?”

”What’s happening? Is the city under attack? Who’s attacking, is Yama Palace’s army already here? No, there hasn’t been a single message, it can’t be the Alliance Army!”

”Look quickly, there are three people above the city, three people in black.”

”Damn, who are those people? Their power seems so strong. With one strike, they’ve destroyed many Guardian Arrays.”

Within the city, cultivators felt the violent tremor and quickly gathered, swiftly noticing the three Yama Palace black-clad Killing Stars above the city. However, for the moment, no one recognized the black-clad Killing Stars. To ordinary cultivators, the Killing Stars in black were a strange presence. If it were the Red-clothed Killing Stars, most people might recognize them at a glance.

”Who is attacking Nanping City?” Weng Mohan’s figure flashed repeatedly, quickly meeting up with the city management personnel.

”City Lord, it’s three black-clad cultivators, their power is extremely strong. Nanping City likely can’t withstand the attack from those three, City Lord, you should leave quickly!” Someone advised Weng Mohan to leave Nanping City first.

”Where did those three bastards come from?” Weng Mohan’s gaze fixed on the three black-clad Killing Stars in the air, destroying Nanping City’s Guardian Array.

”Hmm?”

”On their chests... They’re the black-clad Killing Stars!” Weng Mohan’s pupils contracted.

After advancing to the Immortal Venerate realm, Weng Mohan’s knowledge also significantly grew. Previously, he had no understanding of the existence of the black-clad Killing Stars, but in Hongmeng City, he heard from the Grand Steward and others that Yama Palace’s most powerful force wasn’t the Red-clothed Killing Stars but the more secretive black-clad Killing Stars.

According to the Grand Steward and others, Yama Palace’s black-clad Killing Stars are terrifyingly strong. Red-clothed Killing Stars are basically elite peak Immortal Venerable fighters, while the black-clad Killing Stars are even more fearsome. If they truly are black-clad Killing Stars, Nanping City definitely can’t withstand them.

Weng Mohan was also a decisive person; he immediately took out his Communication Magical Treasure to seek aid from Hongmeng City. Only a few powerful Immortal Venerables in Hongmeng City could rival Yama Palace’s black-clad Killing Stars.

”Black-clad Killing Stars of Yama Palace have arrived at Nanping City?” The Grand Steward Bai Han received Weng Mohan’s plea for help, his heart slightly shaken.

”Grand Steward, it should indeed be the black-clad Killing Stars, three in total. These three people are incredibly strong, and Nanping City’s Guardian Array probably can’t hold for much longer,” Weng Mohan said urgently.

”Weng Mohan, going for reinforcement now might be too late. You must immediately lead your people out of Nanping City,” Bai Han soon calmed down and instructed Weng Mohan.

”Grand Steward, what about Nanping City, are we just giving it up?” Weng Mohan initially thought Nanping City could serve as a buffer, but it now seems that this desire can’t be realized.

”Don’t waste any time; evacuate Nanping City immediately,” Bai Han said sternly.

”Yes!” Weng Mohan responded.

Afterward, Weng Mohan issued an order: The enemy cannot be matched, everyone should disperse and evacuate Nanping City. Once outside the city, there is no need to regroup; proceed independently to report at Hongmeng City.

Weng Mohan did not sneak away himself but issued instructions for all personnel belonging to the Hongmeng City system to leave together.
