Chapter 380: Fierce Zhongshan

Chapter 380: Chapter 380: Fierce Zhongshan

"Liu Dao, do you remember me?" Zhongshan asked coldly, looking into the distance.

"You're a locust I'd love to crush!" Liu Dao replied coldly from the distant city tower.

"Heh, you'll never get that chance!" Zhongshan said, waving his hand.

"Roar~~~" Five million soldiers roared in unison, their voices echoing through the sky.

"Boom boom boom~~~"

In the center of the battlefield, a series of thunderous explosions resounded. On the ground, around the myriad tortoises, countless earth spikes suddenly emerged.

The ground spikes were densely packed, shooting up into the sky, ranging from a hundred meters tall to just half a meter, gleaming black as if forged from endless molten iron, cold and solid. In an instant, the southern region of Jinling City was filled with these massive earth spikes, each one piercing up from the ground, blocking the path of Zhongshan's army.

Xuanwu, this was the battlefield obstruction created by the myriad tortoises.

Zhongshan sneered disdainfully.

"Yinglan, use the Eight-Gate Gold Lock Formation to clear out this rubbish!" Zhongshan ordered.

"Yes!" Yinglan acknowledged the command.

Yinglan jumped down from the floating island, and simultaneously, eighty thousand people forming the foundation of the Eight-Gate Gold Lock Formation quickly moved into position, waiting for Yinglan to descend.

The moment Yinglan entered the formation, dust and sand once again rose, enveloping Yinglan in a swirling mass of yellow sand.

The swirling yellow sand, centered around the Eight-Gate Gold Lock Formation, swiftly formed into a gigantic rotating sandstorm sphere. The sphere continued to spin, causing extensive desertification of the surrounding area, the sandstorm raging loudly, roaring incessantly.

Once enough power had been gathered.

"Boom~~~" The sandstorm began, wave after wave of sandstorms surged ferociously towards Jinling City. Wherever they passed, everything in their path was obliterated, the land turning into sand, a terrifying onslaught.

The first round faced the endless earth spikes.

As one wave of sand surged forward, it quickly buried the earth spikes, advancing further ahead. However, the earth spikes weren't willing to yield; a multitude of them shot up again, piercing through the desert.

The sand assimilated into the land, and the earth spikes also assimilated into the land. The two forces intertwined, continuously shifting the parts of each other they had just assimilated.

In the center of the battlefield, dust and sand filled the air. The earth spikes pierced through the desert, were buried by the sandstorm, pierced through again, buried once more.

The center of the battlefield resounded with continuous explosions, as the Eight-Gate Gold Lock Formation encountered formidable opponents.

However, achieving this with Yinglan's current cultivation level was extremely difficult. Nevertheless, while the two forces continued to intertwine, the desert was slowly being pushed forward, proving Yinglan's power had the upper hand.

At this moment, on the distant city tower, Liu Dao and the others began to make way, leaving space, except for the Grand Empress wrapped in the black robe, who suddenly stepped forward.

Seeing the Grand Empress step forward, Zhongshan frowned and cautioned, "Be careful!"

Everyone had already heard Zhongshan mention how formidable the Grand Empress might be, so they were naturally very cautious.

The head of the Grand Empress was also hidden under the brim of her hat. Suddenly, a black mist emerged from the seemingly pitch-black brim.

After the black mist emerged, it floated in front of the Grand Empress and slowly condensed into eight characters in mid-air.

"Guihai, Jiazi, Gengwu, Wuyin."

Seeing these eight characters, Zhongshan's pupils contracted, a sense of unease instantly creeping over him.

"Zhongshan!~~~" Six Dao shouted loudly from afar during this period.

Zhongshan turned his head sharply, glaring fiercely in the direction of the shout.

"Wishing to seize the fortune of my dynasty isn't enough just with troops. Kings must confront each other. Let's go!" Six Dao shouted loudly.

Zhongshan raised an eyebrow. Indeed, to seize the fortune of the Yin Yue Dynasty, he must personally defeat Six Dao.

With Haomeili dealing with the Grand Empress, it was good that Six Dao wasn't by her side. Otherwise, with Six Dao's talent, detecting and obstructing their plans wouldn't be favorable.

He gently handed Yinglan over to Bao'er.

Glancing at Six Dao, both of them simultaneously soared into the sky and headed west.

They sought an absolutely quiet place where no one would disturb them.

After half an hour of flight, they arrived at an incredibly desolate stone forest. As far as the eye could see, there were countless stone mountains, with no vegetation on the barren ground, giving it an extremely desolate appearance.

They landed successively on the summits of two stone mountains.

Six Dao smirked coldly, "In just over twenty years, from an innate realm with such poor aptitude, you've actually reached the Nascent Soul stage. It's truly admirable!"

Zhongshan flipped his hand and produced a small yellow bottle. While gently pouring out a yellow pill, he said, "Six Dao, at the Nascent Soul stage, founding a dynasty with this cultivation is extraordinary. Every ruler of a dynasty in the Divine Land is a supreme expert."

"What, do you think you can defeat me?" Six Dao looked at Zhongshan coldly.

Zhongshan flipped his hand and threw the yellow pill into his mouth.

"What are you eating?" Six Dao asked in confusion.

"Frenzy Pill. By taking it, I can defeat you!" Zhongshan said.

The Frenzy Pill, a fourth-grade pill, was not from Bao'er's sect but one Zhongshan had obtained himself after killing an old man who had tried to possess Tianling'er at the bottom of a volcano. Only now had it been refined according to the pill recipe by Bao'er's sect.

A Frenzy Pill? Six Dao's eyes showed a trace of disdain. How could a Nascent Soul cultivator defeat a Combined Stage cultivator just by taking a pill? It was impossible!

At that moment, a strong wind suddenly swept around Zhongshan's body, spreading outwards in all directions from his center, causing a powerful aura to burst forth.

Six Dao frowned and looked at Zhongshan. His aura was skyrocketing madly, and Zhongshan's eyes suddenly turned bloodshot. His muscles on his body quickly swelled, protruding in large chunks, causing the dragon battle robe he wore to tear in some places.

Demon Body Tempering Technique! Fourth Stage!

"Crack~~~" A series of bone-dislocating sounds rang out, as if Zhongshan's bones were shifting.

Demon Body Tempering Technique! Fifth Stage!

In an instant, as Zhongshan once again activated the Demon Body Tempering Technique, he unexpectedly broke through to the Fifth Stage.

Demon Body Tempering Technique! Fifth Stage, six times the strength, coupled with the Frenzy Pill, which crazily enhanced his power. Zhongshan suddenly felt his whole body filled with strength. His terrifying muscles increased once again, and Zhongshan's originally huge body seemed to suddenly double in size, assuming a terrifying and ferocious form.

"Roar~~~" Zhongshan roared to the sky, the sound of breaking gold and splitting stones causing the surrounding mountains to collapse continuously.

A cold light flashed in his bloodshot eyes. Zhongshan stomped his foot.

"Boom~~~"

The mountaintop under his feet was instantly shattered by Zhongshan's stomp. Zhongshan's figure shot towards Six Dao like mad, with a terrifying speed, bringing with it a strong gust of aura. Zhongshan didn't use a sword; his right fist clenched, his veins full of power, and with a punch full of infinite momentum, he fiercely smashed towards Six Dao.
