Chapter 227: Chapter 203: Death!! (2nd update, seeking monthly ticket)

A single point landed on a mountain rock, instantly shattering it.

For a moment, the entire mountain valley was bombarded by thunderclaps, booming and exploding.

"Yin"

At this time, a Thunder Dragon in the sky swept across a silver sea of thunder, stirring up terrifying waves, rolling Thunder Liquid, shaking the void to its core, as if to annihilate heaven and earth.

Suddenly, Li Wuchang let out a fierce shout.

"Sword Mountain!"

As he spoke, beneath his feet, a blood-red peak some seventy to eighty Zhang high rose up, or more precisely, it was like a giant blade, with its peak thin and sharp, its form slender and long!

Then, the blood mountain soared up into the sky, colliding fiercely with the thunderous waves that spanned two to three Li.

"Boom"

An incomparable dazzle of Spirit Light exploded, followed by the fusion of the sea of thunder with Sword Mountain, the clashing of their Dojos was a sight of grand magnitude.

The battle of the Taoist Soldier Realm was not even on the same scale.

And in the blink of an eye, the mountain valley within ten Li shook, while the surrounding stone walls began to crack, and the forests and hills below were leveled by the violent Qi.

Around the valley, the sound of horses whinnying could be heard.

The shrill sound of whistles filled the air.

"Maintain formation"

"Retreat two Li"

The fierce battle between two Tao Fruit powerhouses, invoking the power of dao, was far too wild, and the great siege array formed by the surrounding Troops began to tremble.

Four Deputy Generals quickly commanded their Taoist Soldiers, sending Spirit Light toward the array to stabilize it, their eyes blazing as they watched, hoping to find an opportunity to help their lord break through the siege, but they realized that they couldn’t intervene in a battle of this level.

It was entirely a contest of great forces between heaven and earth!

Thus, the collision between Sword Mountain and Thunder Dragon, the scattering of thunder light and Sword Qi, left the entire valley ravaged and scarred.

After about half a cup of tea time, the blood-red Sword Mountain was flung away by a claw of the valley’s thunder.

And Li Family’s Housekeeper, standing atop it, showed a flush of normal color on his face as the mountain was struck, then fiercely turned around with the Sword Mountain, and charged towards the Array Flag in the southern sky.

"Boom"

A loud noise erupted.

The flag array bulged outwards, and with a "crack" a crack appeared, and from the cliff to the south, hundreds of Armored Soldiers trembled and let out a muffled grunt, falling off their horses.

Just then, a thick bolt of purple lightning struck down on Li Wuchang’s Sword Mountain, casting it away once more.

With Tao Fruit connected to heart, Li Wuchang spat out a mouthful of blood.

"I said, no one can stop me." Spitting out the blood, his expression turned vicious, completely ignoring his wounds, he charged determinedly towards the same spot, filled with ferocity.

Meanwhile, outside the valley, streams of light flew over.

After all, this place was only eighty Li from Jingguan City.

One after another silhouette, upon witnessing the earth-shaking scene, drew in a breath of cold air.

"Tao Fruit Realm!"

"It’s Lord Pei from The Overseers, he has actually made a move personally."

"Looking at the shadow left just now, the person is a house servant of the Central Plains Li Family who has also achieved Tao Fruit. It’s hard to imagine just what kind of sacred place the Li Family is. Is the Martial Arts of the Central Plains really so prosperous?"

"......"

Voices of discussion rose one after another.

Among the arriving crowd, several figures were dispersed at various heights in the sky, their expressions either shocked, squinting, or showing great interest.

These were the young nobles who came from the Court earlier!

Li Family’s Housekeeper killed the Zhao Family’s people, and this Demon Suppression Envoy dispatched so many Troops and plotted to kill this Li Family’s Housekeeper, clearly prepared in advance, and the whole affair seemed quite odd.

At this moment, a loud bang, and a great hole was punched through the southern array flag.

A disheveled figure burst forth from within.

But the next second, an angry roar.

"Damn it!"

Only to see that outside the array flag, there was another layer of formation, teeming with Soldier Armor, staring fiercely.

And Li Wuchang caught sight of a dense crowd of figures far in the sky.

Pairs of eyes, above and below, watching his plight, seemed to carry mockery and scrutiny.

Among them, a few familiar figures stood out, also from the Central Plains, but those people were indifferent, coldly watching him in a state of desperation, even with disdain.

This caused his facial expression to become Fierce, almost to the brink of madness, but at that moment, a dragon’s roar resounded.

Li Wuchang’s expression suddenly changed, he let out a loud shout, and frantically flashed away from his original spot.

...

Half a pot of tea time later, a scream rang out.

Only to see the thunder rolling in the sky, a dragon claw of the Thunder Dragon piercing through the body of this Li Family’s Housekeeper.

Tore him to shreds on the spot.

Immediately afterwards, the Thunder Dragon swallowed this person whole, completely incinerating him to ash.

After a while, the thunder dispersed, revealing Pei Yanhu’s figure, his tiger eyes blazing fiercely, having just killed a man, his murderous aura surging, he swept his gaze over those people, sending shivers down their spines.

Without saying anything further, he quickly withdrew the troops, leading his forces to thunderously break through the air and return to the city!

After witnessing the great array being withdrawn and beholding the desolation left behind, like a valley torn asunder by heaven’s collapse, the crowd gasped in shock and dared not linger.

Gradually, only a few people sent from the Court remained, who exchanged glances and went their separate ways.

Soon after, messages were sent from Jingguan City heading north, with a storm brewing.

After killing the man and hurrying back to Cloud Peak, Pei Yanhu immediately ordered an Orderly Officer to be summoned.

"Send an urgent message to Guang’an Prefecture, inform the Nine Colonels about the incident of the Li Family’s Housekeeper coming here. I can hold them off for now, but I have a premonition that these guys are like cockroaches in the gutter, tell the Nine Colonels to be on guard. If... oh, just say it like that."

His eyes were filled with ferocity and worry.

He naturally wouldn’t back down now that the conflict had begun, but Chen Yuan was far away at the frontline, thousands of miles distant. If the Li family secretly sought revenge, what could he do?

He hoped that the second Tao Yun Pill could truly help him and that he would break through to the Tao Fruit Realm sooner rather than later.

Pei Yanhu sighed to himself with such thoughts.

Yesterday, he sent a message, and the box that his Orderly Officer carried contained in fact a Tao Yun Pill.

This pill was originally prepared for his son, the Eleventh Lang, but since the Eleventh Lang had died in battle, and the good news from Chen Yuan provided him some solace, he decided to gift the precious Elixir to Chen Yuan.

Last time he gave one to Chen Yuan, it was a military award, not something he could simply choose to give.

This time, it was his personal favor!

"Yes!"

The hurried footsteps faded quickly, and soon after, a sharp cry of an eagle was heard.

Two sets of orders were sent out, merely one night apart.

Yet the mood was entirely different.

Last night was exhilarating with joy; in the blink of an eye, it turned to sending out a warning.

...

Meanwhile, 6,800 miles away in the southeast direction of Jingguan City, at Guang’an Prefecture, the sky remained overcast with continuous drizzle.

Beneath the western city walls, at the refugee settlement site, under a rain shed, a girl dressed in green clothes was skimming with a ladle, in front of her was a wooden porridge barrel.

And in the queue in front of her were refugees, worn and gaunt from their hardships.

"Slow down!"

"Don’t push!"

The girl patiently served bowls of porridge and handed them out.

"Thank you, miss."

"Thanks!"

At this moment, a maid by her side was also distributing two buns to each person.

Along the line were house servants of the Xiao Family, dozens of them, all distributing food, bedding, and even clothes to the refugees.

These supplies, however, quickly ran out due to the constant influx of refugees.

"There is no more, dear villagers, wait for us, the Xiao Family, to prepare more supplies. Come again at the same time tomorrow morning." The girl from the Xiao Family apologized to the people still queuing in front of her.

One pot of tea time later, on the Xiao Family’s carriage, the maid Little Jiu rubbed her waist and said, "Miss, you’ve been personally toiling with moving things and aiding refugees these past two days, should we still go to the Sky Patrol Department? Lord Gou has made up his mind and won’t see you!"

"No matter what, my father is locked in prison; as his children, how can we not care?" Xiao Qingzhi’s eyes were calm.

"Miss, why don’t you just say that you know the Colonel? We have indeed sent out the invitations; perhaps he will see us then, and everything will be resolved," the maid Little Jiu mumbled from below, cautiously glancing at her mistress.

But she saw her mistress shake her head slightly without saying a word.

At that moment, the sound of hoofbeats, urgent as rainfall, approached from afar, forming a fleeting shadow.

A green-clad Armored Soldier sped directly to the entrance of the Sky Patrol Department, dismounted quickly, and as he entered, he swiftly relayed to the guard:

"I have urgent news!"

"I need to see the Nine Colonels immediately!"
