Mozu worked for Jun Changxiao and hadn’t joined the Eternal Sect. Although physically present in the sect, he had always been restricted to the back mountain, so he didn’t have much understanding of the sect’s strength.
Now.
Today.
He completely understood!
Above the firmament, thousands of starry sky warships, tens of thousands of towering mechas, and… the Demonic Delusion Army he had once cultivated, surrounded Great Sky City so tightly not even water could leak through.
This formation could be described as ‘heaven collapsing and earth splitting.’
“…”
Mozu watched in stunned amazement.
After a moment, a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Although he’d been pushed to the forefront by Jun Changxiao to command the Avengers against the Star Spirit Realm, deep in his heart he still harbored resentment, fantasizing that one day he could trample Jun Changxiao and his Eternal Sect underfoot.
“Everyone…”
Mozu turned around, looking at you outside the screen, saying sorrowfully: “Do I still have hope?”
No.
There was none left.
Anyone who had been dealt with by Jun Changxiao, whether protagonist or antagonist, would never have the possibility of making a comeback. So Mozu’s fate now was… to accept his fate.
Since he couldn’t take revenge, he would vent all his hatred on others!
“Whoosh!”
Mozu gathered power in both hands, roaring: “Kill!”
At first he was quite worried about whether they could take down the Star Spirit Realm’s provincial capital. Now that the Eternal Sect had launched a full-scale assault, the aura they released shook heaven and earth—naturally there was nothing to worry about!
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
The Avengers also roared furiously.
Unlike Mozu who still secretly resented Jun Changxiao, these rescued corpse servants only harbored bone-deep hatred for the Star Spirit Realm, only for the nobles who controlled life and death. So they couldn’t wait to charge into the city and slaughter wildly.
However.
For this attack on the provincial capital, they weren’t needed.
Since Jun Changxiao chose to deploy the entire sect’s forces, it meant he wasn’t content being a mastermind behind the scenes—he was preparing to officially enter the war.
“Enemy attack!”
“Enemy attack!”
Inside Great Sky City, alarms blared.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!” Nobles with strengthened power gathered on the city walls. Not until they saw the city completely surrounded inside and out did expressions of astonishment appear on their faces.
On their own turf, surrounded by others—what kind of situation was this!
“Quickly contact the Law Enforcement Hall, contact Lord Yin!” The Great Sky City Lord immediately ordered. He was relatively composed, not appearing panicked. The reason was simple—the provincial capital was impregnable. Even if surrounded, they should be able to hold out until reinforcements arrived.
“City Lord!”
A subordinate said: “We’ve contacted the Law Enforcement Hall. They estimate they can arrive in half an hour.”
“Half an hour?”
The Great Sky City Lord smiled: “No problem.”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
“Hmph!”
A certain powerhouse said coldly: “A bunch of slaves dare to presume to rebel—they truly don’t know what’s good for them.”
Undeniably.
The invading enemy forces were numerous, their formation terrifying.
But our Great Sky City’s defenses are extremely strong, and reinforcements can arrive in half an hour—how could we fear you?
Seeing expressions of confidence appear on their faces, Jun Changxiao, sitting in the cockpit, sipped his cappuccino, then gently placed the cup on the tray, saying lightly: “Human Cannon, Level One preparation.”
“Buzz!”
“Buzz!”
As soon as the words fell, cannon ports appeared in the bottom holds of the surrounding starry sky warships. Powerful energy gathered, gradually forming brilliantly colorful light.
“Human Cannon, Level Two preparation.”
“Clack clack clack!”
“Clack clack clack!”
The tens of thousands of Dark Destroyers arranged on both sides all raised their arms, extending Gatling-gun-like cannon barrels from their palms.
Don’t ask.
If you ask, this was jointly researched by Old Man Taixuan and Fan Yezi.
“Whoosh whoosh!”
Fierce winds howled, the atmosphere solemn.
Seeing this, the Great Sky City Lord’s expression changed slightly. He immediately shouted: “Strengthen the city protection array!”
“Buzz!”
The tens of thousands of array masters scattered in various corners throughout the city all circulated their power together. The defensive array hidden in the shadows was activated to brilliant radiance, like an eggshell encasing the entire provincial capital.
With the array strengthened, everyone felt much more secure. Looking at the warships and mechas outside, their mocking intent grew even stronger.
Damn!
The villains are too brainless!
Not really.
The city was surrounded so tightly not even water could leak through. Going out to fight definitely wouldn’t work, so they could only stand on the city walls and give strategic contempt.
…
From a distance.
The Eternal Fleet and mecha forces were poised to strike.
Great Sky City, one of the Star Spirit Realm’s ten provincial capitals, had all defenses activated.
The scene was grand indeed.
After only a few dozen seconds passed, Jun Changxiao waved his hand indifferently: “Break the city.”
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
In an instant, cannon ports in the warship holds and cannon barrels in the mecha palms erupted with various lights. Shells and bullets pierced through the void, rolling up ripples as they shot forth explosively.
Mozu hurriedly covered his ears, his gaze filled with shock.
The commotion was too great!
…
“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh!”
In the distant west, at the city Mozu had originally prepared to attack, the Law Enforcement Hall’s elite forces and hundreds of thousands of soldiers were traveling at extreme speed.
“Damn!”
Lord Yin at the front cursed: “We were actually deceived!”
He had grasped the rebels’ attack pattern and set up layers of traps outside the city early on, just waiting for the other side to appear so he could capture them all in one net. But after waiting a long time, he received news that Great Sky City was under attack.
“Boom!”
“Boom boom boom!”
On the road, explosion sounds came.
Yin immediately judged the sounds came from Great Sky City, so he shouted: “Full speed ahead!”
“Lord Yin!”
The Law Enforcement Hall Master followed closely behind, saying: “Great Sky City’s defenses are extremely strong. For those rebels to break through will definitely take time. If we rush there, we can take the opportunity to capture them all in one net!”
“Correct.”
Yin agreed: “This seat has this plan!”
“Hmph.”
A Law Enforcement Hall executive sneered: “These slaves have truly gone mad, daring to attack our provincial capital!”
“Listen well!” Yin called out loudly: “After reaching Great Sky City, we cannot let a single rebel escape—we must annihilate them all!”
The corpse servant system had existed for many years. Now that they dared to commit treason, they must be dealt a fatal blow as a warning to others!
“Yes!”
Everyone roared.
They might be shouting very loudly now, but when they arrived at the scene, they were all dumbfounded.
Because Great Sky City, one of the Star Spirit Realm’s ten provincial capitals, had already been breached. The impregnable city walls were shattered to nothing, the city protection array had also vanished into thin-air.
The City Lord and most of the nobles were bound hand and foot, kneeling on the city walls. From the frequency of their body trembling, they seemed extremely afraid.
Behind them.
Eternal Sect disciples held firearms, gun barrels pressed against the backs of their heads.
“Apologies.”
Jun Changxiao sat before the still relatively intact city walls, legs crossed, holding a cigar, smiling: “You’re 59 minutes too late.”
“…”
Lord Yin’s expression was extremely ugly.
After receiving Great Sky City’s distress call, he gave a reply that they would arrive in half an hour.
Very punctual.
Not off by even a second.
However, after the message was sent, Great Sky City held out for only 1 minute before being breached by the Eternal Sect. The so-called city protection array, the so-called impregnability, were completely equivalent to paper—pierce once and it breaks.
“Kill!”
Yin said in a deep voice: “Kill them all!”
He was enraged. He wanted to retake Great Sky City. He wanted to subject all these rebels to the cruelest punishment!
“Kill kill!”
“Kill kill kill!”
The Law Enforcement Hall and the elite soldiers deployed surged toward the provincial capital like a tidal wave.
However, waiting for them were fully automatic rifles, precision sniper rifles, and RPG rocket launchers.
Jun Changxiao shook his head: “Since our Eternal Sect has taken down this city, we don’t plan to hand it back.”
Mozu nearly lost his footing and fell to the ground.
He had always thought this attack on the provincial capital would be the same as before—primarily plundering resources and corpse servants before leaving. He never expected that guy, after taking it, didn’t plan to leave—he planned to occupy the magpie’s nest!
