Chapter 414: An Atrocity in Zilong City

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Yutang’s Supreme Cloud!

Everyone was merely nervous at the beginning of the stand-off, but the moment Lan Wuxin’s unexpected words roared in the air, all hell broke loose.

Supreme Cloud?

Supreme Cloud, the only survivor of the Nine Supremes who had never shown his true face to the public, was actually here? By the looks of it, he was no slouch when it came to combat.

Countless veterans who had gone through many a battle felt prickles on their scalp once they heard the name. It was as if their nightmares had come to revisit them; the curl of the earth, the billow of a vicious gale, the consuming flames, the golden glint, and the surging waves seemed to materialize before their eyes once again. They could not help the growing chill in their hearts as they turned back to look, focusing their gaze on the subject in question.

Yun Yang had already landed among the crowd like a bolt of lightning, harboring an inevitably murderous vibe.

The Deicide Bow archers had to stop releasing their arrows as it was too packed where Yun Yang was standing. Other than killing their own people by mistake, releasing the arrows would not affect Supreme Cloud at all.

A cold gleam flashed in the air as a sword snuck out like a lurking viper among the crowd; its target destination was Yun Yang’s lower abdomen.

Yun Yang snorted coldly. With a twirl that slashed across a row of heads radiating with saber light, the saber grip collided harshly against the tip of the attacking sword.

The person attacking Yun Yang was a Four Seasons Tower expert hidden among the people. Upon the blades’ collision, the expert felt his hands going numb,; he was no longer able to hold onto his sword. As the sword rebounded from the force, the blade shattered while the hilt rammed into his chest like a thousand-catty hammer.

Foiled by his own sword grip, the expert spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed in a heap. Swallowed by the crowd, as countless feet and horse hooves landed and trampled on him, he quickly became a mound of flesh, dying a horrible death..

Yun Yang guffawed, seeing that his technique had worked to his advantage; the glaive grew increasingly savage, like a flood dragon entering the ocean. Wherever it passed, people were beheaded as blood was spilled. The Empire of Ziyou’s army did not lack experts and the mass of warriors was increasing in number, but no one could stop Yun Yang or even hold him back.

Yun Yang was like a large vessel that braved through a stormy sea, leaving behind waves of corpses and blood.

Seeing that Supreme Cloud was growing more vicious, the Empire of Ziyou’s people were truly shocked to the core.

Devastating! He is too formidable!

Yutang’s Supreme Cloud was so devastatingly formidable that it caused a sense of hopelessness to grow in the masses.

They had heard of the ability of Yutang’s Nine Supremes to steer the result of a war, but all of them knew that the Supremes were not threatening warriors who could fight hand-to-hand on the battlefield. Their eyes, however, betrayed this notion.

This was ridiculous compared to the impression they had from the acquired intelligence!

All said and done, he was alone. Facing the entire city’s troops, he could not go far, no matter how capable in combat he was. There was a distance of over twenty miles to cover if he wished to reach the western city gate from here!

Could he really fight his entire way there? Even if the army stood immobile to let him strike them down where they stood, could he really kill them all?

Supreme Cloud must have gone crazy!

The rumored think-tank of the Nine Supremes was not true to his name; he was only a brute of a man. All brawn, taking advantage of his strength to compensate for the lack of a brain!

The people had obviously forgotten, perhaps ignored, the fact that it was this brute force who had deceived Ziyou’s chancellor, emperor, higher officials, and even the entire empire!

If such a person really did go insane, there was a large number of innocents that were going to be buried with him.

Yun Yang charged forward valiantly, covering five to six miles of his journey from the prison to where he was now. Swooshing noises came from the sky in endless waves, indicating a large number of experts that were heading over to put a stop to this menace.

Along the way, experts dropped from the skies into the battle in quick succession but were almost immediately flung away, bleeding and torn apart.

Only several black-clothed men that moved along the army, hidden within the soldiers, did not initiate any attacks.

"What should we do?"

".. Let’s wait a while more. Forcefully attacking now isn’t the way to go. There’s still a long way to go from here to the west gate. Let Ziyou’s army deplete some of Supreme Cloud’s energy. Only then will we ambush him, annihilating him in one go. No need to risk our lives right now!"

"That is a great idea. We will do that."

These people were the Four Seasons Tower’s experts. They were helpless about their current choice as well. It was true that they were the Four Seasons Tower’s sniper team that had been sent out to target Supreme Cloud specifically; it was true that all of them were experts and had a large team in place - these were all facts!

The combined ability of the tower’s sniper team was an undeniable pinnacle strength no matter where they were placed in this world, but it was also a fact that circumstances always triumphed over people.

The one with the highest cultivation base among them was only at third heaven and there were only two of them; the rest were of the first or second heaven standard. If such forces were judged by Tianxuan Continent’s secular view, it was formidable indeed, exceeding even the strong contenders of Tenth Perfection. Could such a formation challenge Ling Xiaozui himself?

The truth was that they were ill-equipped to do so. They dared not act recklessly in front of Supreme Cloud, let alone Ling Xiaozui.

At this moment, these fellows, who were aware of the current situation, felt their scalps tingling after seeing Yun Yang’s unstoppable charge.

The two third-heaven experts had assessed the possible outcomes; if they headed over right now, they might become flying men if they were lucky, but otherwise, the connection of high-leveled cultivators’ Qi might cause the other party to kill them right away!

There were only four people in the Four Seasons Tower’s current squad who had the ability to stop Yun Yang’s wild rampage, yet those four had died, killed by Jun Moyan for absolutely no reason.

They were speechless regarding their current circumstances.

When Jun Moyan was killing the four men, these people were already disguised among the crowd, but they dared not move at all! They truly did not wish to act impulsively; what if Jun Moyan had assumed that they were together?

They stood rooted to the spot, watching their comrades, who were also their superiors, being killed while they turned cowards there. How frustrating it had felt!

They could only be distraught; if they did not wish to feel that way, they had to die.

In that case, being distraught was a reasonable alternative.

When Jun Moyan had finally left, they thought that the ominous cloud had finally drifted away, but, somehow, Yutang’s Supreme Cloud had appeared instead!

When they heard the news, they were delighted - absolutely thrilled!

Without their superiors, would this great achievement not be theirs? They were, after all, the ones with the highest cultivation base now.

The rumors had it that the Nine Supremes were adept in their manifestation powers but their individual cultivation bases were practically rubbish. Now that Zilong City had been manipulated by a spiritual-sealing formation and none of those manifestations could be used, the presence of Supreme Cloud would only indicate his own painful death.

When they got ready to do battle and seized this merit for themselves, they realized that.. rumors were only rumors. The credibility of those rumors was non-existent.

Could such a cultivation base be considered rubbish? If so, what about them?

They still did not dare move a muscle, despite the indignation that arose in their chests.

Yun Yang spun his twenty-four feet glaive into a huge, circular light and charged forward like a berserk tiger. He no longer knew how many people he had killed nor did he know the waves of inexplicable energy that gushed into him as he was killing them.

He only had one thought in mind - Father! Watch me as I seek revenge for you! I’m clearing the path to Zilong City’s west gate while I carry you! Father, you have to pass; then, I shall make countless people keep you company on your journey to the underworld! Since they’ve done something like this, I shall make them pay!

In the small yard of Lan Wuxin’s residence, an adorable bear cub that had a small green snake encircled its arm snuck out and rushed towards the battle.

In the stormy skies, two white silhouettes appeared.

A loud boom resounded; the glaive in Yun Yang’s hand had broken into two. The glaive had collided one too many times with a plethora of weapons throughout the battle and had finally reached its end.

"His saber’s broken!"

"He’s doomed!"

"Quick, go! Kill him!"

"Go for the kill!"
