A Deal Between Two Kingdoms
"The reaction speed is quite fast."
Inside the driver's seat, Chen Feng looked at Guo Ming, who had been blown away, with some surprise.
The Transformation Realm artist in front of him was far stronger than Jiang Hong, whom he had encountered before.
According to his estimation, the other party was also among the top experts in the Transformation Realm.
Chen Feng didn't chase after the other guy in his tank. Although the shells didn't hit him, he was basically half-dead.
Chen Feng then drove his tank around the field, ramming into everything in between.
He stopped firing machine guns and artillery shells.
You can't use too much of this.
Otherwise, it would be easy to spot when the tank is sent back.
He estimated that shells from heavy weapons like tanks would be recorded.
It's normal for a few shells to be used during a military exercise and not be recorded.
But if too much is missing, then it's a different story.
Machine gun bullets are fine, but these high-explosive shells are no longer usable.
A dozen minutes later, the fighting in the jungle also ceased.
The place is now a mess, with tank tracks everywhere.
The Ningguo soldiers on the field either fled or died.
Chen Feng then turned off the tank, opened the hatch, and jumped out.
Upon seeing Chen Feng jump off the tank, all the martial artists of the Xingfeng Sect bowed in respect.
"Greetings, Sect Master!"
More than a hundred Xingfeng Sect warriors, most of whom were injured.
But their faces were beaming with victorious smiles.
Wang Hu then moved closer to the tank, examining it closely, and asked curiously, "Sect Master, what is this?"
He had just witnessed the terrifying power of the tank; it could kill even Transformation Realm as easily as killing a chicken.
More than 20,000 Ningguo soldiers were completely helpless against this metal monster.
"We'll talk about that later. What's the situation now?" Chen Feng didn't answer Wang Hu's question, but instead asked Liu Qian.
Liu Qian sighed and said:
"Sect Master, the Ning Kingdom's army is already inside Liuyang Town; all the mortals within the city have been slaughtered!"
Chen Feng frowned and asked, "What about the Yue Kingdom royal family?"
"After the three major Lineage withdrew from Liuyang Town, they contacted the royal family, but the royal family did not give any reply."
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng sensed that something was amiss.
The Ningguo army had already entered Liuyang Town, and now their own city had been slaughtered.
There's still no news from the Yue Kingdom royal family; there must be something strange about it.
"Go back inside first. Send someone to monitor the movements of the Ningguo army."
Chen Feng had to hurry and get the tank back; any later and something bad might happen.
Having repelled Ning Guo's 20,000-strong army, he was enough to make the enemy wary.
Liuyang Town.
After the Ningguo army entered the city, they began a massacre.
The central street of Liuyang Town was now piled high with corpses of both ordinary people and martial artists.
These corpses piled up together, forming a mountain of corpses.
Blood flowed from the mountain of corpses, staining the streets red, like a living hell.
Looking at the mountain of corpses, Lei Potian remained calm.
This wasn't the first time he'd committed such a massacre.
"You all leave this place!" Lei Potian said to his deputy.
The lieutenant nodded immediately and quickly led the soldiers away from the street.
The entire street was now empty except for Lei Potian and the mountain of corpses.
Lei Potian suddenly knelt on the ground and shouted, "Welcome, Ancestor!"
Not long after Lei Potian's words were spoken...
A figure appeared in the sky.
This was an old man, dressed in a blue robe, with white hair and beard, but his face showed no signs of old age.
The old man stood on a flying sword, which emitted a faint blue light, giving it a rather mystical appearance.
This person was none other than the Ningguo Patriarch, Xueyangzi.
Xue Yangzi looked down at the mountains of corpses scattered across the ground, a strange smile on his face, and said:
"Broken Heaven, such a small number of living beings is far from enough for me to advance to the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining."
Seeing the smile on his ancestor's face, Lei Potian shuddered and quickly said:
"Ancestor, this is the only small town in this area. Please grant me some more time."
"Hmm." Xueyangzi simply nodded slightly.
Seeing Xue Yangzi nod, Lei Potian finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
Xue Yangzi then arrived in front of the mountain of corpses on his flying sword. He made a hand Hand Seals and muttered to himself:
"The Way of Heavenly Dao is boundless, and all living beings are ignorant. This sacrifice is not that sacrifice, neither life nor death, neither illusion nor reality. Heaven and earth have spirits, and all things have destiny. Today's sacrifice is not for killing, but for the Dao Path."
As Xueyangzi's voice continued to emanate.
And the mountain of corpses also began to stir.
A stream of murky Spiritual Qi emanated from the corpses.
Lei Potian, standing to the side, knelt obediently on the ground, not daring to look.
A moment later, a ball of Spiritual Qi energy appeared ahead, but it was very murky.
Xueyangzi then stopped chanting the incantation, and then clasped his hands together devoutly, saying, "Salvation is complete!"
The cluster of Spiritual Qi gathering in the distance slowly drifted into the small pouch at Xue Yangzi's waist.
The corpses had all shriveled up, as if their life force had been drained.
"Potian, you must remember this: the beings here have paved the way for me. The Ning Kingdom royal family will forever remember their kindness. When I become an immortal, I will surely transcend them."
Lei Potian immediately replied, "This junior understands."
Lei Potian had heard this sentence countless times, and he was already used to it.
At this moment, tears welled up in Xueyangzi's eyes, and his face showed sorrow.
He seemed genuinely remorseful for the deaths of the people in the city.
Upon seeing this, Lei Potian immediately kowtowed and said, "Great kindness, Ancestor!"
Xueyangzi wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and said:
"Set off immediately; I still need two hundred thousand more lives to break through."
Lei Potian immediately stood up and prepared to leave.
Just then, a female voice came from afar. "Senior, it's ready."
A woman was standing on a rooftop in the distance.
She wore a white long dress, had a tall and slender figure, and her appearance was very delicate.
Xueyangzi turned to look at the woman:
"Ten years is too long! I can't believe you've grown so much. Where's that old man, your grandfather?"
Yue Yao spoke:
"My grandfather was unable to come here, so he sent me to inform you, senior, that he only refined three major cities of your Ning Kingdom back then. Now that you have refined three as well, it is time for you to depart."
Xue Yangzi raised an eyebrow but did not speak.
Yue Yao continued without expression:
"Senior, the rules remain the same. If you require more living beings, you may travel to other countries."
Xue Yangzi stared at Yue Yao with his cloudy eyes for a few seconds, then said:
"How heartless! Little girl, remember to give my regards to your grandfather."
After speaking, Xue Yangzi rode his flying sword and disappeared from the scene.
Watching Xue Yangzi's departing figure, Yue Yao finally relaxed.
"General Lei, quickly lead your troops and retreat." Yue Yao looked at Lei Potian.
Lei Potian stared at Yue Yao and said:
"Princess Yueyao, my ancestor doesn't seem very happy. Aren't you afraid he'll kill you on the spot?"
The woman before him was the granddaughter of the ancestor of the Yue Kingdom.
But he was merely a Transformation Realm; before cultivators, he was still nothing more than an ant.
"Since you are kind-hearted, you naturally won't make things difficult for me," Yue Yao replied.
Lei Potian sneered. "Farewell!"
After saying that, Lei Potian prepared to leave.
But at that moment, several Ningguo soldiers rushed over.
They were also carrying a person, who was none other than Guo Ming.
At this moment, Guo Ming was covered in blood, and almost half of his body was gone.
"Old Guo!" Lei Potian's expression changed, and he immediately went to Guo Ming's side.
