94: Chapter 94 Plague, Great War Arrives
The entire world was attacking the Qian Kingdom. The Qian Kingdom was extremely formidable, and everyone felt endangered and afraid. Regardless of race, they gathered together to march against the Qian Kingdom!
Since Li Jiao and the Great Black Bull joined forces to develop bombers, the Qian Kingdom had been at a disadvantage. The territory once occupied was lost again and again. Now, the alliance army was about to arrive at the Qian Imperial City.
The army advanced from all directions, and even planes were patrolling in the sky, blocking all directions, not giving the Qian Kingdom any chance to escape!
Attack the heart first, then attack the city. The alliance army originally thought that some Qian citizens would surrender, but they didn't. The alliance didn't see the fear, despair, and panic of the Qian citizens. What they saw was madness, the madness of the enemy fighting to the end!
Whether it was generals or soldiers, even the big yellow dog at the city gate and the old yellow ox pulling dung were baring their teeth and fighting to the end under the alliance army's artillery fire.
"Consciousness has been bewitched!"
At the rear of the alliance army, Lu Hu and Perfected Zhong Chu of the Xuan Kingdom were observing the movements on the battlefield. The behavior of the Qian Kingdom's citizens was too abnormal; they were fearless of death, not individually, but collectively.
Lu Hu captured two Qian citizens who were fighting hard and studied them carefully.
"It looks like demonic energy and Buddhist energy."
Lu Hu said. He saw black lines flashing in the eyes of the Qian citizens, similar to the demonic energy he felt at the place where the Great Demon of the Buddhist Kingdom was sealed, but slightly different.
The Great Demon's demonic energy constantly tortured people's consciousness, making people numb, but this kind of demonic energy was just hidden in the bodies of the Qian citizens, without torture, only retaining the demonic energy's ability to stimulate physical potential.
Instead, there was another kind of energy, like the Buddhist power of a sarira, constantly chanting and bewitching in the minds of the Qian citizens, gradually affecting their consciousness. When a battle broke out, these two energies were fully activated, with demonic energy increasing combat power and the sarira firming faith.
"Buddhist Kingdom's sarira."
Perfected Zhong Chu's expression was grave. In the alliance, there were still some forces with the foundation of an Earthly Immortal, which were items used by Earthly Immortals in the past, or parts of an Immortal's bones.
And a sarira is transformed from an entire Immortal, gathering the essence of an Immortal, far stronger than ordinary magic treasures.
If this thing were thrown out by the Qian Kingdom and detonated, a prosperous city could turn into powder in an instant.
It's fine in the Xuan Kingdom, his Immortal position power is at its peak; outside, his Grandmaster physique cannot withstand it.
"The sarira was stolen, it was done by the Qian Kingdom."
Lu Hu's focus was on the sarira. Back then, Yu De stole the sarira used to seal the Great Demon, causing the seal to crack and become unstable.
The few Buddhist monks in the Buddhist Kingdom begged them to return the sarira, the reason being that it was a spare sarira used for emergencies, and it was lost!
Now it seems that the lost sarira is in the hands of the Qian Kingdom, and not only can they steal it, the Qian Kingdom also has people who know how to use it.
You know, for a treasure like a sarira, not even a few Buddhist monks in the Buddhist Kingdom know how to use it.
Perfected Zhong Chu took out a copper bell and chanted it in the ears of the two Qian citizens. Slowly, the demonic energy in the Qian citizens' bodies dissipated, and the voices bewitching them gradually faded away.
Although the demonic energy and bewitchment were resolved, the two Qian citizens still looked fierce, wanting to fight Lu Hu and Perfected Zhong Chu.
"Bewitched for a long time, their own consciousness has dissipated, there is no saving them!"
Perfected Zhong Chu sent the two Qian citizens on their way. He stood up, and the trace of hesitation that had remained disappeared.
"Slaughter the city!"
These Qian citizens were already hopeless puppets, there was no need to show mercy!
As the order was passed down, the alliance army changed its combat strategy. Dense cannons were pushed from the rear of the army to the front, and the bombers in the sky buzzed, their numbers multiplied several times.
The cooperation between Li Jiao and the Great Black Bull multiplied their effectiveness. Li Jiao had a lot of knowledge in his brain, but his physique was limited. The Great Black Bull didn't know much, but his blacksmithing skills were top-notch. The tool parts Li Jiao needed could always be crafted without any deviation.
Li Jiao provided the technology, and the Great Black Bull could understand the ideas Li Jiao expressed at the first time. The big hammer banged, knocking out the required items.
With the cooperation of one man and one bull, they actually quickly set up a bomber assembly line. As long as materials were put in every day, bombers could be manufactured.
Besides these, there were other messy but extremely effective things.
Every day, a large number of weapons were produced. Now that a large amount of artillery fire had been accumulated, it was all put into the battlefield, and the effect shown was extremely terrifying.
With the attack order issued, only the sounds of artillery firing and explosions remained between heaven and earth. The earth shook incessantly, and the Qian army set up cannons to fight back.
The Qian Kingdom also had cannons, which they had made, but compared to the alliance army, the quantity was too small!
Soon, the Qian army's cannons were all scrapped, the walls around the Qian Imperial City collapsed and shattered, and the Qian citizens who were not afraid of life and death were left with no bones in the artillery fire.
The Qian Kingdom was also fighting back. Their Grandmasters came forward, but they were blocked by the Grandmasters of the alliance side.
In terms of numbers, the alliance's Grandmasters already outnumbered those of the Qian Kingdom.
The Qian Kingdom used its foundation, and Immortal-level power appeared on the battlefield, but it was blocked by the Immortal-level foundation of the Kun Kingdom.
The Kun Kingdom's foundation didn't have strong lethality, but it was very restrictive to the Qian Kingdom. When Kuns Illusionary Realm was activated, it was difficult to distinguish truth from falsehood below the Immortal level.
And the Qian Kingdom's foundation had the strongest lethality, but the controller was only a Grandmaster, who could easily be deceived by Kuns Illusionary Realm.
A few days later, the Sword Sect was broken, and the Sword Sect disciples retreated to the Qian Imperial City. After another few days, an army of tens of millions surrounded the Qian Imperial City so tightly that not even water could trickle through.
With the army pressing on the city, there was no one on the Qian Imperial City walls. The gates were wide open, quiet, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop!
The alliance army was eager to move, wanting to attack the Imperial City. Suddenly, a ball of green light flew out from the Kun Imperial City, extremely dazzling, with light shining in all directions.
Lu Hu, who was in the rear, saw the green light and his expression changed slightly.
"Roar!" (Retreat!)
Lu Hu jumped out, and at the same time, his body turned green and grew larger. Within a breath, a giant beast with a body length of hundreds of meters appeared on the battlefield, and every hair was emitting a faint green light.
This was Lu Hu's Primitive True Form, the Poison Spirit Body obtained after absorbing the three major plague demons under Tianduan Mountain, which had become a Plague Poison Giant Beast with the Poison Spirit Body as the core.
In this form, as long as Lu Hu wanted to, a sneeze could bury a country.
The toxicity might not be strong, but the plague poison was definitely terrifyingly contagious.
"Roar!"
Lu Hu roared softly, sucking all the green light into his mouth. The light of the green ball dissipated, revealing its original form.
That was a huge poison thorn. Lu Hu recognized that poison thorn; it was the missing tail thorn of the scorpion among the three plague demons under Tianduan Mountain. This was the plague demon's poison thorn. If the army was infected, the consequences were unimaginable!
The plague that once caused trouble in the Kun Kingdom was an example. The Qian Kingdom had thrown the plague demon's poison into the Kun Kingdom. If it weren't for the Medical Immortal's intervention, the Qian Kingdom would have really destroyed the Kun Kingdom without any effort!
Lu Hu raised his palm, wanting to grab the poison thorn, but there was obviously an expert in the Qian Imperial City who saw his intention. A red light flashed, and the poison thorn was pulled back into the Qian Imperial City.
"Roar!" (All leave, retreat a hundred miles, then disperse, each go back home!)
Lu Hu said. The three demons were beheaded by the Sword God, and the important parts were cut off and taken away by the Sword God. They should all be in the Qian Imperial City now.
This poison thorn was just one of them. There must be other such highly destructive plagues in the Qian Imperial City.
Not only that, the Sword God had killed over a hundred great demons in his life, and the foundation left to future generations was definitely numerous.
If the army got too close, any ripple would cause countless casualties!
The army's previous role was to surround the Qian Kingdom, but now that there was only one imperial city left, its role was no longer great, and it was even a burden. It was better to retreat further.
"Great King, I'm leaving too!"
The alliance army retreated, and Li Jiao also left, taking a large amount of materials with the Great Black Bull.
There were still some Grandmasters who did not leave. Although Emperor Kun had warned them, they were unwilling to leave. Some had confidence, and the rest wanted to witness the next battle.
Buzz~
The Kun Imperial City trembled slightly, and halos rippled in the sky, carrying golden light. This was a protective barrier to prevent secret sneak attacks.
Lu Hu looked down at the city beneath him, wanting to see more of the Qian Kingdom's foundation.
In the imperial palace, a man wearing an imperial robe and a man in white were also looking at him coldly. One of them had pulled the poison thorn carrying the plague back earlier.
"We were too hasty, we shouldn't have started a massacre just because we had cannons."
"It doesn't matter, it's a matter of time, it just arrived earlier!"
...
Emperor Qian and the Sect Master of the Sword Sect were not discouraged because only one city was left of their vast territory.
With the army pressing on the city, they were still calm, just in a bad mood. After all, the territory they had fought for so many years had been reduced to only the imperial city in just a few months.
"Is this that tiger?"
"It should be. It can also grow bigger, a real Immortal, but it can't stir up any waves."
The two had heard of Lu Hu, who had repeatedly blocked their Xuan Kingdom's Immortal-level foundation and ruined their good deeds.
It was also the first time for Lu Hu. After observing for a while, the body was large, but it was obviously mainly using poison. The combat power could not be that strong, so it was not a cause for concern.
What was troublesome was that some of their foundations related to poison were ineffective.
The Sect Master of the Sword Sect and Emperor Qian shifted their gazes to Perfected Zhong Chu of the Xuan Kingdom, becoming grave, because this was a person of some weight in the Xuan Kingdom who held great power. His appearance clarified the Xuan Kingdom's attitude.
"Unexpected, they actually dared to come out."
"It's not unexpected either, Emperor Xuan also sees it clearly!"
"I wonder how much Immortal power they will have after leaving the Xuan Kingdom?"
...
In their plan, the Xuan Kingdom should have always cowered within its own borders, while they, the Qian Kingdom, swept away all forces except the Xuan Kingdom, finally surrounding the Xuan Kingdom and slowly wearing the Xuan Kingdom's Immortals to death.
After all, the Xuan Kingdom's Immortals had obvious disadvantages. Once they left the Xuan Kingdom, they were just like them, Grandmasters carrying Immortal treasures, no longer Immortals.
Their strength would be greatly reduced. If they really fought hard with their Qian Kingdom, the casualties would definitely be heavy.
They didn't intend to step into the territory of the Xuan Kingdom for the time being. The Xuan Kingdom had always been safe, peacefully enjoying their days, so why take the high risk of death to fight them?
The people of the Qian Kingdom were not afraid of death, but the Immortals of the Xuan Kingdom might not be. They thought that under such concerns, it would take a long time for the Immortals of the Xuan Kingdom to make up their minds to go to war with them.
As a result, the Xuan Kingdom was so decisive, directly participating in this war.
"It's a pity that before they entered the field, we still didn't destroy the Kun Kingdom."
Emperor Qian sighed. If there was anything that could make the Qian Kingdom wary, it was the power like the Kun Kingdom that possessed the inheritance of Immortals who had ascended.
Like those other major countries like the Man Kingdom, the Buddhist Kingdom, the Witch Domain..., the Qian Kingdom did not take them seriously.
They racked their brains to destroy the Kun Kingdom, but in the end, they failed, and the Xuan Kingdom and the Kun Kingdom united.
"Never mind, even if we die and the country is destroyed, we must complete our great cause!"
The Sect Master of the Sword Sect touched the precious sword at his waist that contained terrifying power.
"Let's test their strength first."
"Okay." Emperor Qian nodded and clapped his hands. The palace behind him collapsed, and old men who looked like withered wood walked out of the dust.
Subsequently, the two led these old men to walk outside.
"They are coming, get ready to fight!"
Outside the city, Perfected Zhong Chu shouted, and the Grandmasters with foundations around him gathered towards him.
Soon, a group of old men appeared on the city wall, facing the Grandmasters of the alliance from afar.
