âThere indeed seems to be a protective formation. If it were an ordinary city wall, my punch would have been enough to break through it. However, judging from the current situation, it seems about time. Once we devour all the flesh within the city, we should be able to reach the True Consciousness and begin to fulfill Saint Zi Yangâs plan.â
Ming Xie frowned.
Behind him, he observed the effectiveness of his punch.
Seifer pointed forward with his withered finger. Nearly 500 necromancy knights had already mounted their horses and slowly assembled outside the eastern city wall. Once the city wall crumbled, these necromancy knights would launch a deadly charge and reap the lives of the soldiers inside the city.
In the blink of an eye, the remaining seven black dragons launched another round of attacks.
The cracks in the city wall widened once more. However, with the protection of the formation, it still held.
âItâs time.â
Ming Xie clenched his fist and leaped to the center of the city wall. With all his strength, he struck the city wall.
A ten-meter-long gap suddenly appeared in the nearly shattered eastern gate wall.
âWhat terrifying power! Is this truly an outsider? How can they condense such Saint Power?â
Qin Yuâs scalp tingled. His Nine Heavens Manifestations Gaze perceived the power of that punch.
âItâs best if we can avoid this fellowâ¦â
Ju Wuweiâs expression soured.
However, based on the intense shock just now, he could roughly judge that the difference between the two sides was significant.
As the city wall at the eastern gate broke, the necromancy Imights charged into the city, clashing with the defending soldiers.
The human soldiers were nearly pushed back under the relentless assault of the necromancy knights.
Even with reinforcements arriving at other gates, they still couldnât stem the tide of retreat.
Ming Xie entered the city gate and picked up a Vajra Saber from the ground.
Wherever he went, none of the soldiers could match his prowess.
Even the most elite commando teams here couldnât withstand him for more than a round.
In a short period, he had already claimed the lives of thirty soldiers.
âItâs too slow. The accumulation of this Saint Power is painfully sluggish.â Ming Xie frowned. Everywhere he went, blood flowed like a river.
Simultaneously, the seven black dragons had already penetrated the entire city.
With their massive bodies and terrifying speed, they wrought instant destruction upon Nine Tune City.
In the face of these seven black dragons, ordinary people were as feeble as ants.
In an instant, the entire Nine Tune City echoed with the cries of despair as the city succumbed to hopelessness.
Following closely behind were the necromancy knights, riding bone horses, streaking through the city at a terrifying pace.
Wherever they passed, all humans became their prey.
These undead harbored no mercy. Regardless of age or resistance, children, the elderly, and soldiers alike were mercilessly cut down.
âD*mn it!â
Qin Yu could no longer bear it. He loosed three arrows consecutively from the Sun Chasing Bow, each at thirty percent strength, piercing through three necromancy knights in front of him.
Ju Wuweiâs expression darkened as he swiftly dispatched the necromancy knights.
Witnessing this gruesome scene, no human could remain indifferent.
âBe cautious. Letâs not draw too much attention and attract the necromancy knights, â Ju Wuwei warned.
With a swift stroke of his saber, Ju Wuwei decapitated a necromancy knight.
âYou two, donât stray too far from me. If I spot that guy, weâll retreat immediately,â Qin Yu instructed, keeping a close watch on Ming Xieâs movements.
With their current strength, having spent another year within the Time Rubikâs Cube, even facing Black Dragons, Qin Yu wouldnât be outmatched, let alone these necromancy knights.
As more and more Ogres and Giant Ogres flooded into the city, the death toll among humans skyrocketed.
âHahaha, do you think you can evade this trial by hiding? What a group of naive outsidersâ¦â
The old City Lord in the bunker suddenly opened his eyes, a peculiar smile adorning his face.
âItâs a shame we canât yet confront the outsiders directly. We must swiftly locate the holder of the Heart of the Saint Kingdom. Even Seifer has managed to break through the power of Order, allowing him to assail the outsiders. Though not fatal, itâs a breakthrough nonethelessâ¦â Cang Zhi muttered to himself.
âWhatâs the matter?â
Ming Xie asked softly.
âYouâre heading to the generalâs residence? This guyâs strength isnât low. He should be above your current strength,â Seiferâs consciousness communicated with Ming Xie.
âDonât worry about that. If Cang Zhi intervenes, heâll help me block his power.â Ming Xie nodded.
âHe hasnât obtained the power of the Heart of the Saint Kingdom, so he canât attack you for now. But just in case, Iâll keep an eye on him. Hehe, donât die. I still need to tap into the power of your Heart of the Saint Kingdom,â Seiferâs dry laughter echoed in Ming Xieâs mind.
Boom!
Ming Xie arrived at the entrance of the generalâs residence and slashed the entire door to pieces.
Behind the door, a terrifying blade light slashed out.
âThis kind of opponent is interesting. Those useless from before were making me sick.â Ming Xieâs face twisted into a ferocious smile as if he had anticipated this.
His fist landed on the blade light, shattering it.
He took a few steps back and spat out a mouthful of blood.
âAs expected of General Li Liefei. Such terrifying power. Even my current body canât match it. If you hadnât been affected by Seiferâs power earlier, I wouldnât have dared to come kill you.â
Ming Xie tossed away the Vajra Saber in his left hand. His bones crackled. Facing him was Li Liefei, holding a huge saber with a fiery red cloak draped over his shoulders.
His expression was cold as his arm moved slightly.
Another blade light slashed out, instantly causing the generalâs residence to explode.
After the battle, Li Liefeiâs body lay on the ground with a massive bloody hole in his chest.
His heart had already shattered.
âYou can predict my blade?â Li Liefei coughed out a mouthful of blood, seeming to grasp something.
âThe Heart of the Saint Kingdom, the Preludeâs Prognostication. Itâs only fitting for you to die by my hand,â Ming Xieâs ribs bore a massive wound, but the blade energy had only cut through his ribs, not his internal organs.
He walked over slowly and snapped Li Liefeiâs neck.
In an instant, Qin Yu, Ju Wuwei, Shen Qian, Li Yue, Xiao Yunfei, and all the other outsiders from the human race seemed to suddenly feel a loss of some kind of power.
âNot good! The rules seem to have changed. If a certain proportion of people die in this city, we might have to be wiped out directly.â
Li Yueâs face turned pale, and he dashed out of the formation on the northern axis..
