With a Raise of His Hand, a Thousand Fell
"Hmph, you brat with such a big mouth, let's see what you're capable of!"
The army commander, his face icy cold, raised his hands, and a chorus of taut bows rang out. "I hope you can still spout such arrogant words later. Shoot!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
Suddenly, a rain of arrows poured down, darkening the sky and filling it with the chilling glint of arrowheads, sending shivers down one's spine.
"Lightning Release: Lightning Pillar Wall!"
Ye Liangnai spoke calmly, and four bolts of lightning transformed into a solid defense, enveloping Ye Liangnai and the girl.
Despite the barrage of arrows, I remained unmoved and indestructible. I possessed immense power; even crossbows as thick as an arm could not pierce me, only causing the lightning barrier to tremble slightly before returning to normal.
Upon witnessing this scene, everyone gasped in astonishment; it was simply too powerful!
Just by looking at how powerful the crossbow could pierce through the surrounding walls, one could tell how formidable it was.
The wall was as thick as half an elbow, making it an extremely strong defensive structure.
Even explosives might not be able to break through it; only the crossbow, with its sharpness, hardness, and great power, can break through the surface by focusing on a single point.
Even with such a terrifying crossbow, Ye Liangnai's defenses were powerless against it.
This really makes one feel a little hopeless.
The samurai were at a loss, looking at each other in bewilderment.
They had never seen anything with such terrifying defensive capabilities.
"It seems you can't do anything to me. In that case, it's my turn!"
Looking at the people of the Land of the Moon through the Lightning Barrier, Ye Liangnai said, "I'm not bragging, but there are some people you can't afford to mess with!"
"Be more careful in your next life, and may you be reborn into a better family! And that transvestite, in your next life, keep your eyes open. Don't think you're invincible and the only one who matters just because you've gained a little favor. Arrogance is unacceptable. If you do something wrong, admit it, and be more polite to others!"
Ye Liangnai calmly formed hand seals, pointed her finger to the Deva Path, and said, "Lightning Release: Rage Lightning Tiger!"
A bolt of lightning shot out from his hand, ignoring the lightning barrier, and soared into the sky.
The next moment, the once clear sky, without a single cloud in sight, was suddenly filled with rolling dark clouds, and thunder rumbled loudly.
The next moment, lightning flashed and resounded across the sky for thousands of miles. A huge Lightning Tiger head burst out of the clouds and then descended fiercely.
"No!!!"
The moment Lightning Tiger appeared, the middle-aged man knew it was all over!
That terrifying aura of destruction left him with no will to resist. His whole body was stiff, and he was so oppressed by the terrifying pressure that he couldn't move at all!
The other soldiers were even more devastated, their eyes wide open, their weapons falling limply from their hands, a look of utter despair on their faces.
Even worse, some people slumped to the ground like mud and laughed like madmen.
Some people tried to escape, but they moved as slowly as snails, their legs feeling as if they were made of lead, their faces filled with terror and resentment.
"Boom!"
On this day, everyone in Rōran heard a loud noise, accompanied by a violent tremor of the earth, a terrifying flash of light, and a destructive shockwave, making them almost think that the end of the world had arrived.
Fortunately, it all came and went quickly, lasting only about ten seconds before fading away.
However, when the people of Rōran came out to see what had happened, they were all shocked by what they saw.
What should have been the city wall was now a complete ruin, with only a large crater about 100 meters long remaining, containing not only rubble but also a pile of charred corpses.
They could be vaguely identified as people from the Land of the Moon!
"This..."
Seeing this scene before him, the commander of the Rōran army couldn't help but swallow hard. What terrifying strength was this? That was the army of two thousand from the Land of the Moon!
Completely annihilated in just ten seconds? He doubted even the Five Kage could do that!
He couldn't help but look at Ye Liangnai, the only one in the room who was unharmed, and the little girl, and said, "Your Excellency, this..."
But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Ye Liangnai, who looked behind the commander and said, "Queen Majesty, how is it? I have kept my promise, so it's your turn!"
The commander was startled upon hearing this and quickly looked over.
Then, his Queen Mura arrived, accompanied by a group of guards.
Her eyebrows furrowed, and she said with great displeasure, "You could have avoided causing such great damage. You did this on purpose, didn't you? To show off to me?"
Despite what she said, she was no less terrified than anyone else.
She had seen the entire Lightning Tiger that had just descended from the sky; in her eyes, it was nothing short of a natural disaster.
What would he think if he knew that Ye Liangnai only used half of the power in this move?
"A permanent solution would be the biggest loss! Besides, I have an agreement with Her Majesty the Queen that no one can be let go, so this is the only efficient method we can use!"
Although he could do it quickly using speed and Silent Killing Technique.
But that's too much trouble! It's much easier to solve it with a Lightning Release technique.
"Okay, I'll go ahead with this collaboration!"
"Cunji Commander, I order you to immediately recruit five hundred soldiers. Once our high command has discussed and finalized the battle plan, we will immediately launch an attack on the Land of the Moon. The time for our revenge has come!"
Mura gave the commander the order to attack decisively.
Upon hearing this order, the Cunji chief was momentarily stunned, his eyes wide with shock.
Once he realized what was happening, he was overjoyed, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
"Then I congratulate Her Queen on your swift success in avenging your grievances!"
Ye Liangnai walked over and offered her congratulations to the young Queen, as if she were certain that Rōran would win!
"I hope so!"
Unlike Ye Liangnai, Mura was not optimistic. Instead, he appeared quite serious. He then instructed his men to settle Ye Liangnai in before leaving with the Cunji chief to discuss battle plans.
The people of Rōran were stunned when they heard Ye Liangnai and Mura's conversation.
Are they going to war with the Land of the Moon?
Really!
"Very good!"
"I've disliked them for a long time!"
"Go, Queen Majesty!"
The people of Rōran were extremely excited, and their voices were full of support; they were not afraid at all.
Of course, to prevent the news from leaking out, Mura still ordered a news blackout.
Even though most of the merchants in Rōran had left due to the attack by the Land of the Moon's army, the existence of some spies cannot be ruled out.
If the news leaks out and the Land of the Moon finds out they're on guard, that would be bad.
Of course, adhering to the principle of seeing things through to the end, at Mura's request, Ye Liangnai personally oversaw every move in Rōran. Anyone who wanted to pass on a message had to get past him.
