Chapter 961: Return To The City (2)

Time continued passing.

And the atmosphere started tensing up.

Suddenly, Zheng Ping received his order: "Move!"

Then, a blinding sword appeared in the sky.

Crack!

Even space itself was cut open by that sword. The sword was powerrful, but its target was not completely unprepared. The mystic armor had been on alert against the humans.

Seeing the attack, he was both alarmed and furious. Instead of facing it forcefully, he flew toward the nearby Ming He. Damn it! That crazy human was actually attacking him in front of so many experts! He was only a third-stage Sunmoon. He stood no chance against a seventh-stage Sunmoon.

Ming He acted immediately and sent a multicolored ribbon toward the sword. But abruptly, a saber appeared in the sky as well.

Boom!

Space started rupturing as Zheng Ping attacked Ming He with all his strength. Everything had happened suddenly. Before anyone could react, a fight had broken out between four Sunmoons.

Ye Hongyan completely ignored Ming He as her sword continued heading toward the mystic armor. As for Ming He, she was infuriated by Zheng Ping's audacity to attack her. Thus, her ribbon switched direction and shot toward Zheng Ping instead.

Whoosh!

Ye Hongyan's sword landed and a metallic arm was sent flying.

"Save me!"

The mystic armor wailed in fear. At the same time, the ribbon struck Zheng Ping, leaving his arm bloodied. The two early Sunmoons were still too weak compared to the two veteran Sunmoons.

Ye Hongyan continued ignoring Zheng Ping and launched another attack at the mystic armor. This time, her sword was aimed straight at his head.

"Die!"

A frosty power unfurled, freezing the world around her over. The frost power was so cold that the mystic armor's body started cracking. Even so, he continued fleeing desperately toward Ming He.

Noticing what was happening, Ming He attempted to pull her ribbon back to provide assistance to the mystic armor. But with a roar, Zheng Ping sent another saber attack at her.

Boom!

The attack seemed capable of cleaving the world itself apart.

"You're courting death!"

Ming He was furious. She had been holding back to avoid killing Zheng Ping. She hadn't even injured him too heavily. But he had completely ignored her kind gesture. She was infuriated.

In her fury, she launched another attack at Zheng Ping. Ye Hongyan ignored Zheng Ping's plight as her sword continued heading toward the mystic armor's head.

"Enough."

Right at that moment, the original devil expert stepped forth and threw out a punch. Space cracked as his punch shot toward Ye Hongyan's sword.

Ye Hongyan snorted coldly and turned around before striking Ming He's ribbon with her sword, sending the ribbon flying. The terrified mystic armor took this chance to hide behind Ming He. Inwardly, he cursed nonstop.

This lunatic!

"Bullshit!"

With a roar, Ye Hongyan charged over again. A battle erupted outside the city. The two fought intensely, and Ye Hongyan was completely prevented from entering the city.

Zheng Ping tried to enter, but Bing Hong merely froze the air around him and said, "Don't force me to kill you."

Zheng Ping roared in fury and indignation, "Are there no other experts from the human race here?"

Anger.

Helplessness.

How were they supposed to enter with two high-stage Sunmoons blocking their way? Su Yu was as good as dead. There was nothing he could do.

"Where are the people from Great Qin?"

He was furious. Why was no one from Great Qin here? Because they were confident Qin Fang wouldn't die?

He didn't even feel like saying anything about Great Xia anymore. The prefect was not around. With Marquis Xia running things, he was already celebrating the fact that he was able to be here. And Great Xia didn't really have that many high-stage Sunmoons. Was Marquis Xia supposed to arrive personally?

As for Great Ming, it was already very surprising that they sent Ye Hongyan here. He didn't expect more from them. Zheng Ping continued roaring furiously.

Meanwhile, Ye Hongyan remained expressionless. Why was that dumb brute roaring so miserably? One would think that Su Yu was already dead from how sorrowful those roars were. That damn brat was right below them, enjoying the show unfolding in the sky.

At this time, Su Yu was mixed with the group of weaker cultivators who were anxiously looking around. Some wanted to enter the city as well, but they were too afraid to do so.

One of them whispered, "So many death spirits were killed. Is the city filled with ancient city medallions? It's normal occurrence for one to pick up ancient city medallions from the ground after every incident involving death spirits."

At that, someone shot into the city. Nobody stopped that person. Mo He and Bing Hong were completely uninterested in stopping them. Why should they? For these weaklings, entering the city was the same as throwing their lives away. For super experts like Mo He and Bing Hong, the lives of these insignificant weaklings were nothing.

While fighting Ye Hongyan, Mo He coldly said to the weaker cultivators, "All of you can enter, but nobody is allowed to leave before Su Yu is dead. If Su Yu can disguise himself as Cui Lang, he can naturally disguise himself as someone else. Think it through before entering."

Entering was easy, but leaving wouldn't be so easy. It was that simple. Nobody would stop them if they wanted to take the risk and enter. But leaving...would only be allowed when Su Yu's death was confirmed.

Su Yu, in his iron-winged bird form, hurriedly shouted, "Lord, we won't leave before Su Yu is dead! We're only here to get some ancient city medallions! We won't create any trouble for the lords in the city!"

After saying that, he dashed into the city as well. He did not say those words to attract attention. Rather, he did that to instigate more people to enter. That would make it easier for Liu Wenyan to enter later.

Human experts were not allowed to enter. But what about human weaklings? A mere Skysoar human should not attract any attention, right? As far as Su Yu was concerned, he wanted to see as many people entering as possible. That would only present him with more fuel to summon death spirits.

Sure enough, the mention of ancient city medallions was extremely effective. True. Every time chaos involving death spirits erupted, a lot of ancient city medallions would be left behind.

They should enter and try their luck. This was also a form of fortuitous encounter. Even if one found only a single medallion, one could sell it to the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion for a large amount of resources. And thus, people started streaming into the city.

Mo He couldn't be bothered to even spare them a glance. As long as they weren't Sunmoons, he had no issue with them entering. Since these people were reckless enough to enter, why should he stop them?

More and more people entered the city. At this time, Liu Wenyan arrived. He did not put on much disguise. He only dyed his white hair black, making him look much younger than before. For some reason, the change in his hair color also destroyed his usual refined image, making him look somewhat shifty instead. Carefully, he sneaked toward the city.

Nobody cared about him.

He was too weak. Yes, he was a human. But not all humans must be killed. There was no point in killing a weakling. Mo He continued ignoring the crowd since he didn't notice any experts among them.

Humans? None of his business. Why should he stop those fools from throwing their lives away? There were so many Sunmoons in the city. And a majority of them were hostile toward the humans. He had no obligation to stop these foolish humans from doing something they might regret.

His sole task was stopping the human Sunmoons from entering. As far as he was concerned, not even human Mountainseas were worth his time.
