All or Nothing!

Wuxin City, at the military camp.

Song Yuan and his daughter Song Qian walked through the camps, comforting the soldiers in each camp.

When Song Yuan arrived at the cavalry camp, he heard several arguments. The situation was perilous, and no matter could be taken lightly, so Song Yuan went over personally and, after questioning them, learned that the argument was about Qiu Yan.

Liu Hong and the others were going to the city to bring Qiu Yan out, to prevent any accidents.

"Does Qiu Yan still have a relationship with the soldiers?" Song Qian was unaware of the reason for Qiu Yan's feud with Geluolan, and couldn't help but be curious when she heard Liu Hong and the others' request.

Knowing what had happened, Song Yuan shook his head and chuckled, "That Qiu Yan does have a bit of a scholarly air about him..." He was about to say more when he was suddenly interrupted by a cry of surprise.

"General, something terrible has happened! Look at the sky!"

Even without anyone noticing, Song Yuan had already noticed the strange change in the sky. He saw the tall mountain suspended in the air shake violently and then plummet down!

Such a massive mountain, falling straight down, its enormous mass compressing the air, created a gale that swept for miles around, affecting not only Wuxin City but also this entire military camp.

"What's going on? Isn't it said that even if cultivators seek revenge, they dare not affect mortals?"

Watching the mountain fall, Song Yuan, who had always appeared calm and composed, finally changed his expression.

Beside Song Yuan, a burly bodyguard watched the mountain descend and murmured, "This... I don't understand either. Although cultivators are not bound by the Heavenly Court's rules, they are still subject to the concept of merit and blessings. They cannot indiscriminately kill mortals, let alone move mountains and destroy cities..."

"Impossible? What do you mean by impossible! The facts are right in front of us!" Song Yuan said in a deep voice, having already composed himself and forced himself to remain calm. He knew that the more critical the moment, the less he could afford to lose his composure.

Song Qian also saw the mountain fall, paused for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Father, Mother is still in the city..."

But Song Yuan ignored him. He turned and ordered, "If the situation becomes serious, I will have to submit a memorial to the court requesting to resign. But tens of thousands of troops cannot be thrown into chaos, and we cannot allow the Marshfolk to take advantage of the situation..."

The surrounding soldiers were so frightened by the strange phenomenon in the sky that they paid no attention to what Song Yuan was saying.

In fact, the Marshfolk that Song Yuan mentioned are also currently in crisis.

The Marshfolk Prince Geluolan was under a spell Qiu Yan, though he was unaware of it. Geluolan's residence was very close to the Military Governor's Residence, so the flooding earlier had affected it, causing the courtyard walls to collapse and the houses to be damaged. Seeing the situation was dire, Geluolan immediately led his men away from the courtyard and fled at full speed.

Chaos reigned in the city as people scattered and fled, with injuries and even deaths from being trampled on frequently.

The students in the inn had mostly fled long ago. This place was near the city gate, and Geluolan and his group arrived, just about to breathe a sigh of relief. Suddenly, a fierce wind swept through the city, and at the same time, a terrifying pressure descended from above!

Geluolan looked up and her face turned deathly pale.

A massive mountain roared down, accompanied by a fierce wind. It blotted out the sky, as if the heavens had collapsed!

The mountain blocks out the sun, making the city dark!

Inside the Military Governor's Residence, even the Crosscut Mountain God was stunned by the scene before him.

"That Daoist priest is far too crazy!"

Just then, a crackling sound came from a puddle not far from him, and sparkling ice and snow splashed out. Chen Yan broke through the ice, but before he could even catch his breath, he was stunned by the sight in the sky.

"This..."

At the same time, people everywhere in the city were looking up at the sky.

Fang Ziyan and the others stumbled and ran, but after several twists and turns, they still hadn't escaped the city. At this moment, they heard the sound of the wind and felt the oppressive force. They looked up and their faces turned ashen.

The patrolling soldiers on the streets and alleys had long since lost their Order and were in a state of panic.

At this moment, the common people, merchants, scholars, and soldiers all stared wide-eyed, their hearts filled with chill and despair!

In an instant, the entire city was filled with despair, panic, and a deathly silence!

"Hahaha! Only by being put to the brink of death can one be reborn! If one fails to Core Condensation, the Heart Demon will backfire, the Pill Head will shatter, and the Three Souls Seven Souls will be damaged. Even if one survives, it will be difficult to make any further progress. But if one destroys the entire city, plunders its Fortune, and condenses its Essence Blood, one can be reborn from the ashes, rising from the ashes!"

On a mountain peak, Tang Lai lay in the Lin Zhong, half of his body merging into the ground. The color of his flesh had changed, turning like soil, and a look of madness appeared on his face.

Now, he is at his wit's end, suffering heavy losses, surrounded by powerful enemies, and without any reinforcements. Doing nothing means certain death, so he might as well take a desperate gamble. If he fails, he will only die, but if he succeeds, even if there are endless troubles in the future, it will still be a glimmer of hope!

In the sky, Circuit City God coldly watched the mountain fall, vaguely catching two murderous intents from the mountain.

"That new god is no easy opponent and should not be underestimated. Now that the mountain is falling, there is no need for me to take action. Firstly, this is Military School location, and there is no need for me to Human Fire. Secondly, if the whole city is wiped out, the Daoist Sect will be held responsible, and the evidence will be conclusive. Moreover, once the people are dead, their Fortune will naturally be gone, and it will not affect Jiannan Circuit. Thirdly, someone has murderous intentions towards me. If I am distracted in saving people, someone may take advantage of my weakness!"

Circuit City God calmly analyzed the situation, clearly listing the gains and losses. He immediately had a plan, a smile playing on his lips as he hovered in the air, looking like he was watching a show.

The mountain plummeted, the wind howled, and the mountain surface was whipped by the air currents. Wild beasts living there were blown away, and even the spirits guarding the mountain had to expend tremendous effort and rely on the power of the silver mist that spread throughout the mountain to barely keep their bodies still.

Those silver mists, imbued with divine power, were exceptionally mysterious. They seemed to target only those with Divine Abilities, suppressing and imprisoning them. They had no effect on wild beasts without Divine Ability Law Technique or spells. However, at the moment, this imprisonment and suppression had become their lifeline.

Amidst the raging air currents and dense, unobstructed flow, a jade-green figure swayed uncertainly.

The deity's entire body shone with light, surrounded by Li Trigram that parted the silver mist, creating gaps.

"The mountain collapsed suddenly, and the whole city perished. If we think about it carefully, Tang Lai came because of me. If I let all the people in the city die violently, it will be my Karma. Moreover, whether it is the Way of Nature and Life or the Divine Path, one should seek to stay true to one's conscience. How can one let personal grudges affect the innocent? One must have this much responsibility, otherwise what kind of path is this?"

With this thought in mind, the deity moved and, protected by the Li Trigram, soared into the air. In the blink of an eye, it swept across a forest. Then, it reached out and grabbed, its arm stretching to a full ten zhang (approximately 33 meters), its palm expanding, and plunged into the soil, grabbing Tang Lai who was stuck there, and then pulling him out!

A light drizzle of dirt fell from Tang Lai's body. This expert of the Upper Spirit Realm was shocked. Even though he had been severely injured, he was now powerless to resist and could not even control his flying sword and Law Treasure.

Speeding!

The wind howled in her ears. Tang Lai was thus seized and carried away by the true form of the god.

"What's going on? This silver mist can block perception, so how could this deity pinpoint my location so accurately and seize me in one swift motion!"

His thoughts raced, Tang Lai's expression turned grave. He didn't notice the shadow clinging to him; he had been pulled from the mountainside, and seeing his last hope about to vanish, how could he accept it?

"Fine! If we don't fight now, everything will be over!"

Knowing the situation was critical, Tang Lai gritted his teeth and, in the nick of time, barely managed to form Dao Seal! The moment his body was grasped, it was permeated by divine power, rendering him unable to move. Therefore, this Dao Seal was formed in his heart by burning away his thoughts and will, using his Divine Soul as a hand!

As soon as the hand seal was completed, Tang Lai's blood began to boil, his skin turned black and smelled foul, and the stench and darkness spread throughout his body in the blink of an eye, then even spread towards the five fingers of the deity's true form.

"My entire body is now poisoned. If I die, my body will explode and turn into a rain of poison... Ah!"

Before Tang Lai could finish speaking, his body suddenly burst into flames, his entire body scorched by the flames, his skin rolling and evaporating like water droplets!

"Hmm?" The deity himself let out a soft exclamation, frowned, and then swung his arm, throwing the screaming Tang Lai away!

Boom!

Dust suddenly billowed up in a corner of Wuxin City.

The mountain peaks overlook the city, and a fierce wind is raging!

The distance between the mountain and the city is only a hundred feet! And it's rapidly shrinking!

The mountain was enormous, casting a shadow over the city. An ordinary person could not escape its shadow by running. Despair spread throughout the city. Suddenly, someone exclaimed that they had noticed a glowing figure at the foot of the mountain.

The man wore a gray robe, and his hair was as red as fire.

Who is that person?

The appearance of this figure, amidst the intense scrutiny of everyone, aroused doubt in the hearts of the city's despairing citizens.

Then, he raised his arms, and his whole body swelled up like an inflating balloon, bursting forth with emerald light as dazzling as the sun!

Boom! Boom!

Two loud impacts, like thunderclaps, rang out as the man planted his swollen hands on the bottom of the mountain!

Click! Click! Click!

Then the massive arm exploded section by section, crushed by the mountain!

However, this obstruction caused the mountain's descent to pause briefly and slow down slightly, but the effect was minimal.

The one blocking the mountain was none other than the deity himself. He burned his divine power, expanded his Divine Body, and used his hands to block the mountain. After his arms exploded, he mobilized the stars to re-condense two arms and stretched them out to block the mountain again!

Click! Click! Click!

The two newborn arms were crushed again!

However, the divine power that exploded did not dissipate, but instead turned into specks that seeped into the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, a layer of clay is revealed.

Then, the mountain peak plummeted, only to be blocked by a divine arm, a scene that repeated itself repeatedly in a mere instant.

Explode! Explode! Explode!

The deity's true form continuously condensed arms, which were successively crushed, slightly slowing the mountain's descent, but the overall trend remained unchanged, with only eighty feet remaining from the city!

"No! Even if I am a god, it is too difficult for me to stop this mountain by myself. This mountain is not made of ordinary stone, and it takes too much effort for divine power to penetrate it. I must find help!"

Upon realizing this, Qiu Yan immediately took action. The divine spirit trembled, and several points of starlight flew out from its Divine Body, scattering throughout the city. Then, the entire Wuxin City trembled slightly!

The stoves in those houses spontaneously combusted, flames leaping and smoke rising, seeping out of the doors and windows and converging towards the divine deity!

The smoke contains thoughts and memories—fragments of the ideas and emotions left behind by those who used to cook and stir-fry food by the stove! (To be continued)
