Chapter 24: A complete massacre of the Li's soldiers

In a courtyard, a young handsome man paced back and forth, lost in deep thought.

Since he learned that the Celestial Heavenly Pagoda could cover the entire Lotus World in a week and the barren land in half a day, his brain had been working non-stop.

After discovering the power of the Numinous artifact, he had placed the pagoda in the Su ancestral ground.

"If I hadn't used this cheat-like pagoda, I would be the biggest fool," he thought to himself.

"System, how does the pagoda calculate destinies?"

[Ding!]

[The Celestial Heavenly Pagoda has unmatched calculating and analyzing power, capable of predicting everything under heaven.]

"Hmm..." Su Yen slowed his pacing and furrowed his brow.

"Calculating and analyzing," he mumbled.

Suddenly, something clicked in his mind, and his heart began to race.

"System, is there anything that could obstruct the power of the pagoda?"

[None under heaven.]

Hearing the system's response, an anticipatory smile slowly crept up his face as he rushed out of the courtyard.

Arriving at the ancestral ground, Su Yen saw the Celestial Heavenly Pagoda hovering gently. Though this initially shocked him, he remembered it was a numinous treasure and calmed down.

He reached out his hand and picked up the Heavenly Pagoda, examining it carefully before muttering, "I hope this wild fantasy of mine works."

With that, he sat down and began setting up a series of complicated formations on the pagoda.

Initially skeptical about using a mortal-grade formation on a numinous artifact, Su Yen continued his work, even though each formation he set up disappeared into the pagoda.

After three hours of tireless effort, Su Yen completed the series of formations in his mind.

"Huh! Finally!" He breathed a sigh of relief and wiped invisible sweat from his forehead.

"I hope this works," he said.

He search for any traces of the formation on the pagoda but found none. He began to worry, scrutinizing the pagoda once more but was futile.

He wanted to give up his wild fantasy but shook his headm

"No. I can't give up just like that. I should try another approach."

After thinking for a couple of minutes, he decided to check it with his Qi sense. To his surprise, he sensed the series of formations working perfectly without needing activation.

For a few seconds, he froze with wide eyes, unable to believe what he had achieved.

"Hahaha!"

Breaking out of his stunned state, he laughed hysterically and grinned foolishly at the pagoda.

"I knew it! A numinous artifact with powerful calculating and analyzing abilities will not fail me," he mused, pleased with his genius idea.

After savoring the success of the first series of formations, he relaxed and considered,

"The mortal-grade formation manual won't be enough for my project. I need to buy an earth-grade one from the system."

....

In the Western Barren Land, the situation was far from calm compared to the Eastern Barren Land. n-.0velB1n

Su Ming and the army had effortlessly raided five small towns, leaving a team behind to guard each town. Now, they were heading for their sixth target, the Black Rock Town.

A couple of miles from their next target, the Li clan soldiers intercepted them.

"You, from the Su clan, have trespassed into the territory of our Li clan, and you must pay with your lives," a tall, burly man shouted from his horse.

The two sides were only a couple of hundred meters from each other. The Li soldiers numbered over five thousand, while the Su soldiers were just around a thousand.

However, the Su soldiers were not intimidated but the opposite. They were excited to test the power of their Metal Bone Construct against humans for the first time.

"You dare send assassins to kidnap my sister, and you think mere trespassing into your territory will quench the fury in our hearts? You must be joking," Su Ming said, his eyes bloodshot.

Meanwhile, many people and powerful clans had been keeping an eye on the Su and Li feud, eager to see the result of the clash between the two sacred clans.

While also, the rising hot commodity was still a subject of questioning for some.

"Charge!" Li Kang shouted, raising his heavy hammer toward the Su soldiers. The two sides were only a couple of hundred meters apart.

The Li's derived their confidence from their population and rich inheritance, while the Su's derived their confidence from the Metal Bone Construct.

"Charge!" Su Ming also shouted, pointing his sword at the Li's.

At once, the two clans charged at each other with both fury and excitement.

Bang! Bang!

As the two sides were about to collide, the Su's activated their armor. Blue lights flashed on their armor, raising their battling prowess to another level.

Ah! Ah! Ah!

The first wave of attacks from the Su's resulted in miserable screams from the Li's, sending shivers down the spines of those secretly watching the battle.

The Su soldiers didn't care about the differences in Body Building realm stages of their opponents.

As long as their opponents were not Qi Refinement soldiers, they wouldn't back down.

Arms and heads flew to the sky with blood splashing everywhere, turning the green vegetables into red.

The heavy thick stench of blood permit the air with corpse littering the battlefield.

The battle was unsightly.

The miserable screams of the Li's exceeded everyone's expectations. At the very least, they should have had a fighting chance.

Unfortunately, against the Su soldiers with the Metal Bone Construct, they were like children with wooden swords.

In a matter of minutes, the five thousand Li troops were reduced to a thousand, and the number was decreasing rapidly.

"Retreat!" Li Kang shouted in deep fear. He had long heard about the outstanding effect of the armor, but today, he witnessed it firsthand.

'Not good. Not good,' he thought, retreating quickly.

As for the Li soldiers who barely escaped the clutches of the devil, they ran with all their might.

They had not come for battle but to be killed.

It was a complete massacre.

For those secretly watching the battle, it became clear that the rumors about the armor were true and what this meant for the barren land.

With the Metal Bone Construct, the Su's were unstoppable in the barren land.
