Peerless War God

However, he was already on the pirate ship, and there was no way out. Even if he died, he had to hold on until the end.    

He really wanted to see if the Third Prince and the Purple Cloud City's Chen Xiao could block their attacks.    

He gritted his teeth and said, "Let's not wait any longer. Hurry up and urge the people in front to attack the city gate. We must send a signal to the people in the city to open the city gate together."    

"Yes, boss."    

Immediately, the assassins set off once again and rushed towards the city gate.    

Along the way, they killed countless people. All the mortals and low-level cultivators they encountered were killed, regardless of gender, age, or strength.    

In an instant, the smell of blood filled the air outside the city, and it was filled with killing intent.    

"It's here again. Run! Run for your lives! Run!"    

"Run? Where can we run to? The city gate is tightly shut. We can't enter. There are also these killing gods behind us. I don't know where these evil stars came from. There are wolves ahead and tigers behind us. We're doomed."    

"Run to the city gate. With the garrison there, no matter how lawless these assassins are, they wouldn't dare to attack the city gate, right?"    

"Right, we can only do this. There's no other way. Sigh, let's run."    

Instantly, the hundreds of thousands of refugees were like a herd of sheep being driven away. They were in chaos and rushed towards the city gate with no regard for their lives.    

Soon, they arrived at the city gate, which was about a mile away. It was a dense mass of people, like an army of ants. The pressure was astonishing.    

At a glance, there were more than a million people, and most of them were low-level cultivators.    

Many people were terrified. They rushed to the tightly shut city gate and knelt down to beg.    

“General, please open the gate. Let us in. Otherwise, we will really die here.”    

“Open the gate. Open the gate. We are all citizens of the Divine Dynasty. You can’t just leave us to die.”    

“Open the gate. Hurry up and open the gate. I don’t want to die. I want to live on.”    

Facing the attack of the refugees, the garrison soldiers on the city wall had cold faces and did not say a word. They were completely indifferent to the situation.    

It was reasonable. As garrison soldiers, their duty was to protect the safety of the capital city. They could not allow the city gate to be lost. As for the refugees outside the city gate, it was not something they needed to consider.    

Even if all the refugees died right in front of their eyes, they would not bat an eye. As long as the city gate was not lost, it was fine.    

On the city wall, Geng Zhong dug his ears hard. He felt very annoyed.    

“These refugees are shouting very loudly. They are really annoying.”    

He cursed.    

He was a little embarrassed. He asked, “General, what should we do? Do we just watch?”    

“What? Do you have any ideas?”    

“No. How could I dare? It’s just that too many people died outside the city gate. There are probably close to 100,000 people. The scene is too cruel.”    

“Left and right.”    

Geng Zhong turned around and cursed, “You’re a good-hearted kid. Don’t forget that if the city gate is lost, even if you and I pay with the lives of our entire clan, it wouldn’t be enough.”    

Hearing this, his left and right shuddered and said, “Yes, yes, this lowly one has spoken carelessly.”    

“It’s good that you know. Alright, all of you keep watch. If anyone dares to let a fly go, I will chop off his head.”    

Geng Zhong cursed.    

“Yes, General.”    

“Understood, General.”    

Geng Zhong nodded with satisfaction, and then his thoughts changed. His breathing changed slightly as he said indifferently, “Alright, all of you continue to watch here. I’ll go inspect the other areas.”    

“Yes.”    

Geng Zhong immediately left the city wall, and it could be said that he wasn’t bothered even if he didn’t see it.    

Before long, he arrived at an important location beneath the city wall. This place was heavily guarded, and every ten steps was guarded. It could be said that it was tightly sealed, and there was even a Tribulation Transcender cultivator guarding it. It was extremely important.    

The moment Geng Zhong appeared at the entrance, he was stopped by the guarding Tribulation Transcender cultivator.    

“General Geng Zhong? This is a vital place in the Divine Capital. Other than the decree of the Divine Emperor, no one is allowed to approach.”    

Geng Zhong’s expression was gloomy, and it was extremely unsightly. He then squeezed out a wisp of a smile and changed his appearance, and he said, “Even I am no exception.”    

The guarding Tribulation Transcender replied with a cold expression, “Of course, General Geng Zhong, since you’re the garrison general of this place, the refugees are outside, and the mission is important. I won’t report this matter, so please return. You should guard your own position.”    

The guard Tribulation Transcender spoke with an unfriendly tone, with a hint of reprimand and disdain for Geng Zhong.    

It was true. Although they were both garrison soldiers in the Divine Capital, they were in charge of their own duties.    

Geng Zhong was guarding the city walls, while he was guarding the eye of the formation, the foundation of the formation, which was more than a hundred times more important.    

Naturally, he had the confidence to speak to Geng Zhong like this.    

Geng Zhong’s expression darkened, and he laughed dryly. “Alright, you’re right. It’s just that I just wanted to check on the operation of the city protection formation, and to check if it’s normal, so that I can feel more at ease.”    

“General Geng, don’t worry. Everything is normal with the formation, and I don’t need you to worry.”    

“That’s good. With your words, I can rest assured. See you later.”    

After saying that, Geng Zhong turned around and was about to walk away, but a hint of cold killing intent flashed in his eyes.    

The guard Tribulation Transcender stared at Geng Zhong’s back, and his eyes were fixed on him, as if he was afraid that Geng Zhong would make a mistake again.    

He was very vigilant, but at this moment, he sensed killing intent coming from his side.    

“Hmm?”    

He subconsciously turned his head to look, but he heard a sound of a spear piercing through his chest. He felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his chest was dyed red with blood.    

He didn’t know when Geng Zhong had suddenly turned around and thrust his spear at him, piercing through his body.    

The guard Tribulation Transcender’s mouth was bleeding, and black blood kept flowing out. He held the spear in Geng Zhong’s hands with both hands, and his eyes were filled with unwillingness and doubt.    

“Geng Zhong, why?”    

Geng Zhong's eyes were bloodshot, like a bloodthirsty beast, he growled, "For the Seventh Highness, kill!"    

"Kill!"    

...    

On the other side, on a mountain peak outside the Divine Capital.    

Chen Xiao was in front, and the Gu siblings were behind him. They stood together and looked into the distance, just in time to see Divine Capital City, which was more than ten miles away.    

In the sky above Divine Capital City, there was a huge earthen-yellow light barrier, like an old turtle, quietly lying on the ground. Its defensive power was astonishing, even far above Violet Cloud City.    

"What do you think of this defensive formation?"    

Chen Xiao asked with a smile.    

Gu Lan Yue and Gu Feng looked at each other and laughed.    

"Captain, are you testing us?" Gu Lan Yue laughed.    

Chen Xiao shook his head and looked at Gu Feng.    

Gu Feng held his chin and carefully sized him up. He slowly said, "This formation is very powerful. With earth as the main component and gold as the auxiliary component, the five elements revolve, and it is endless. Its defensive power is very astonishing. I dare to guarantee that even if an Immortal Realm expert came here, it would be difficult for him to break through it."    

Chen Xiao nodded and said, "That's right, you're right."    

Gu Lan Yue frowned, "Captain, since that's the case, we didn't worry for nothing."    

"That's not true. As the old saying goes, the fort is the easiest to break through from the inside. We just have to watch."    

Chen Xiao said indifferently.    

The two siblings' eyes flashed with a hint of doubt, but they did not ask any more questions.
