"Gulp..."
"Wh-what... what just happened?"
A ripple of furtive swallowing sounded. Rong Ji, who had previously scorned the Investiture of the Gods Hall, moaned, her mouth dry.
"Thud, thud, thud..."
The countless birds cascading from the sky like a waterfall piled up more than ten meters high, completely covering the ground. Not a single one took flight again. They were dead beyond all doubt.
What terrifying power could slaughter at least three million living creatures in an instant?

For the bird carcasses that crashed into the royal city and piled up more than ten meters high bore no wounds whatsoever, apart from those crushed or broken by the fall.

A broad smile covered Jian Shang's face. He forced himself to let out a long breath, doing his best to maintain a calm, composed expression.
"If you had such a move, why didn't you use it earlier?" Dongfang Shi asked, her delicate brows deeply furrowed as she looked at Jian Shang with obvious displeasure.
If Jian Shang had used this terrifying move earlier, how many birds could he have killed over these three days and two nights? How many soldiers and civilians could he have saved? At the very least, the Heavenly Dipper and Earthly Fiend Formation would not have been broken so quickly, and Fanyu Royal City could have remained invincible, couldn't it?
"No money!" Jian Shang replied with a bitter smile.
"No money?!"
Dongfang Shi froze. She had considered countless possibilities and guessed that Jian Shang might call it tactics or strategy. Who could have imagined the Huan King would give such an answer?
This was a National War,
