Chapter 403: City Destruction!
Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu
Smoke rose up continuously throughout the city, and sorrowful cries filled with distress could be heard everywhere.
Countless Foundation Establishment cultivators were gathered before each of the eight city gates, attacking the barrier around the gates with all their might. But even with the combined strength of hundreds to thousands of people, the transparent light barrier only trembled lightly!
It was impossible to break this huge formation without one or two days of continuous effort!
The formation had been constructed with countless valuable materials and laid down by eight Yuanying experts together. The amount of resources required to operate this huge formation was also shocking. After all, this formation was only meant to be used to defend against a disaster that would threaten the existence of the city!
"Ah! What\'s that?!"
"Die!"
"What the hell is that!?"
"There\'s more and more of it, quickly, set them on fire!"
Near the city gate, countless low-level cultivators and ordinary humans were shouting crazily. Countless roots had suddenly surged out of the ground!
"Blazing Infernal Sky Flames!"
A Foundation Establishment cultivator looked at the dense wave of roots rushing towards him and quickly fell back with an ugly look on his face. Without any hesitation, he made a few hand seals and released his Qi. A three zhang long bird appeared before him, wrapped in flames, like the legendary Golden Crow!
"Yin!"
A sharp bird\'s cry rang out. The bird wreathed in flames seemed to have its own intelligence as it charged towards the countless roots!
"Boom!"
A huge ball of flame rose into sky, and an intense heat spread outwards.
"Sou-sou!"
The intense fire latched onto the densely packed roots in an instant, creating a massive inferno. The tree roots were like little snakes, wreathing continuously on the ground.
"Even if the numbers are large, it still can\'t withstand a blow."
The foundation establishment cultivator loosed a sigh of relief as he looked at the inferno he\'d created. As for those hundreds of ordinary people caught in his large area of effect technique? What did that have to do with him? After all, better you than me.
"E—"
Just as the Foundation Establishment cultivator was feeling proud of himself and preparing to unleash another large-scale attack, he suddenly looked down to see countless roots piercing out if his chest. His eyes were filled with disbelief and terror as he fell to the ground.
"How could this be?!"
The Foundation Establishment cultivator was very certain that there were no roots behind him. Just in case, he\'d even activated a defensive barrier. But even so, how were the roots still able to break through his defensive barrier so easily?
Filled with confusion and unappeasement, he felt the roots sucking out all his emotions and soul.
Similar scenes were happening all over the place. Caught unaware, countless people were killed by the sudden appearance of the roots!
Two Golden Dan experts exchanged blows in the air above the heads of the screaming masses. Every move was filled with terrible might, and the two seemed like a pair of devils!
One of the expert failed to block a few blows and was forcefully smashed to the ground.
The other expert still above the ground readied his guard and waited as he looked at the smoke that filled ground. It was easy to determine a winner and a loser between Golden Dan experts. However, it was much harder to deal a killing blow to either person!
As long as one side went all out to escape, and if the difference in strength between the two was not that huge, it was basically impossible to catch up.
"Yi? Why aren\'t there any movements? He couldn\'t have died just like that right?"
The Golden Dan expert remained suspended in midair as he revealed looks of confusion. With a wave of his hand, a strong wind swept downwards, dispersing the dust and smoke to reveal a huge pit in the ground!
"Save... me."
"W-what the hell is that?!"
The Golden Dan expert felt his scalp grow numb as he looked at the scene below. A human-sized hole about three meters deep had appeared on the ground, and the person lying within it was actually the guy he\'d smashed downwards earlier! Only, the body of the latter was pierced with countless tiny roots like a pincushion!
The expert that was still fighting evenly with him a moment ago was suddenly on his last breath within a few seconds. A great fear suddenly rose in his heart.
"Die!"
The Golden Dan expert\'s face fell. No matter what, this person was his opponent! But instead of dying by his hands, his opponent was being killed by an evil plant. In that moment, he made a hand seal and a powerful technique began to take form in his hand!
Heaven and Earth Ling Qi congealed and gathered towards the Golden Dan cultivator in the air!
A 10 zhang wide dark cloud suddenly appeared in the originally bright sky!
The moment the dark cloud appeared, a shocking spiritual pressure burst out!
"Crack!"
Numerous streaks of dark-purple lightning shot through the dark clouds, and a thick ball of purple lightning began to form in the heart of the dark cloud!
"Boom!"
A crisp thunder rang out, and the ordinary people nearby immediately fainted with blood flowing from their seven apertures. The weaker ones even died on the spot!
A thick ray of lightning as fat as a water bucket morphed into a lightning dragon and struck downwards!
"Pa!"
It was like a powerful bomb had been thrown into the ground forcefully. Lightning crackled wildly, and a shocking electrical shock wave blasted outwards, charring everything within a thousand meters!
"Huff, huff."
The Golden Dan expert panted heavily. Such a strike expended a terrifying amount of Ling Qi, and sapped nearly 90 percent of his strength!
"I wonder what that thing that\'s hiding underground is... but it should be dead now right?" the Golden Dan expert muttered to himself.
A faint breeze blew over, unveiling the aftermath of the lightning strike. A huge pit had appeared on the ground!
"Si!"
When he saw the situation clearly for the first time, the Golden Dan expert finally realized the extent of the problem!
The deep pit had revealed countless roots intertwined underground. There were roots as thin as hair, as thick as fists, and even some as big as houses!
"Heavens! Could it be that this thing is under the entire city?!"
The Golden Dan expert sucked in a cold breath of air, and terror flickered through his eyes.
A cold shiver ran down his spine; now that he stopped to think, he finally felt that something was wrong!
It was too quiet! It wasn\'t that there wasn\'t any sound; the battling noises of the several hundred Golden Dan cultivators were still immensely loud, like bombs exploding constantly.
There just wasn\'t any other sound from the people in the city! As he cast his gaze over the city, there wasn\'t even a singe living person!
"Ah!"
A Foundational Establishment cultivator fell from the sky after exhausting all his energy.
At the spot where the Foundational Establishment cultivator fell, countless roots burst out of the ground and stabbed into the cultivator\'s body!
In just an instant, the cultivator was sucked dry and turned into dust!
The Jin Clan\'s patriarch who was suspended in midair froze and widened his eyes. He glanced over the city and an ominous feeling appeared in his heart!
"Ah! Dammit! What is that evil creature! Scram out here for this granddaddy!"
The Jin Clan patriarch turned into a ray of light and disappeared. A moment later, he reappeared above the Jin Clan manor. As he looked at the destruction and the completely empty manor, he went completely mad!
Everything he did was for his clan. But now, his entire clan had been wiped out!
"Boom!"
"Kaboom!"
Numerous powerful techniques burst forth from the Jin Clan patriarch\'s hand, blasting down and destroying everything wantonly in a large area!
Sword light burst forth unceasingly, slashing across the sky and disappearing!
"Everyone, stop!"
The Jin Clan patriarch vented his anger for a long time, while tears of regret and hate flowed out of his eyes. Following that, he disappeared and reappeared right in the middle of the battle!
At this time, the Jin Clan patriarch\'s aura was very unstable, and a powerful ling Qi began to build up in his body!
"Crazy bastard! Go further away if you want to self-detonate!"
"Isn\'t that the Jin Clan patriarch? How did he become like this?"
The surrounding Golden Dan experts immediately stopped battling and moved away. This crazy old man suddenly charged into their midst, looking like he wanted to perish together with everyone. Naturally, no one was willing to be dragged down by this fellow.
The Jin Clan patriarch lowered his head and muttered sorrowfully, "It\'s over, everything\'s over..."
"What\'s finished?"
"Is his brain finished?"
The surrounding experts could not make head nor tail of the situation.
