Chapter 327: Chapter 327: The Might of the Righteous Alliance

According to the introduction of the side mission triggered by the system, Pintian Yaozun was still unaware that he had tamed the Savage Elephant King. It seemed there was no danger for him in the short term. Moreover, he was located in the central region of the Human Clan’s territory. The Sacred Emperor wouldn’t possibly allow Pintian Yaozun to enter the central region of the Human Clan.

However, one must never say never. He was all too familiar with Pintian Yaozun’s strength; even Yuan Hong might not be a match for him.

"It would be interesting if Yuan Hong and Lei Zhenzi joined forces and still couldn’t beat Pintian Yaozun."

Qin Jun stroked his chin, thinking that he needed to get on good terms with Old Man Yi. The old monster had to be cultivated into his secret weapon.

An old monster who had lived for at least ten thousand years was definitely terrifying, but he simply played the fool most of the time.

With that thought, Qin Jun stood up, took out the Silver Dragon Exorcising Spear, and began practicing spear techniques.

Practicing the spear had become his daily essential routine. Unfortunately, he was always one step away from breaking through to the essence of the spear technique.

In the courtyard, a young man in white danced with his spear against the wind, creating a scene as beautiful as a painting under the blue sky.

Time flew by swiftly.

Approaching noon, Liu Bowen walked in briskly. He came before Qin Jun and said gravely, "Your Majesty, the Righteous Alliance is heading towards us."

"Oh? So soon?" Qin Jun stopped practicing with his spear and then frowned, asking, "How many are coming, and what is the cultivation level of the strongest one?"

"According to the scouts ten miles out, at least a million people. How strong their leader is, we don’t know for now. They’re not advancing quickly either, seemingly giving us time to prepare," Liu Bowen replied hesitantly.

Qin Jun nodded and then instructed, "Summon Lei Zhenzi and Yuan Hong, and have the Celestial Soldiers prepare for battle!"

As for the Cat People Clan and the Xuanfeng Tribe, they hadn’t yet integrated smoothly, so Qin Jun was not in a hurry to send them into battle.

Liu Bowen nodded and then quickly left.

Qin Jun let out a long howl, and immediately, a large figure appeared from the sky, landing with a boom that seemed to shake the entire courtyard.

The newcomer was none other than the Savage Elephant King.

Qin Jun leapt onto the back of the Savage Elephant King and then ordered, "Fly to the city gate."

The Savage Elephant King responded with a low grunt and took off. His hefty body was surprisingly agile as he easily soared into the air and soon arrived above the city walls.

At this moment, the Celestial Soldiers on the city wall were ready and waiting. Although the enemy troops were not visible on the horizon, the momentum of the approaching Righteous Alliance forces had brought rolling thunderclouds. Lightning descended toward the horizon, causing an immense visual impact.

"The Qin Emperor has arrived!"

"The presence outside the city is astonishing. It seems the Righteous Alliance is intent on attacking!"

"The Righteous Alliance has had its eye on Guarding Slaughter City for some time. The Qin Emperor previously foiled their plan to attack the Southern Ming Iron Tower. With old and new grudges combined, tsk tsk."

"Do you think Guarding Slaughter City can hold out?"

"Hmph, what does it have to do with us? As long as we don’t resist the Righteous Alliance, we won’t have any trouble."

The cultivators in the city also began to discuss among themselves, with most adopting the mindset of mere spectators. Whether Qin Jun or the Righteous Alliance emerged victorious, it wouldn’t affect them.

Soon, Yuan Hong, Lei Zhenzi, Shen Gongbao, Bai Qi, Liu Bowen, and others all rushed to the city wall. Looking in the direction they were gazing, they could see the Righteous Alliance army now visible on the horizon, accompanied by rolling thunder and lightning, a terrifying sight.

"Your Majesty, the enemy has deployed a Golden Immortal Realm powerhouse," Yuan Hong conveyed to Qin Jun, who was on the back of the Savage Elephant King, making Qin Jun raise his eyebrows. He hadn’t expected the Righteous Alliance to directly send a Golden Immortal Realm powerhouse this time, showing how much importance they placed on either Guarding Slaughter City or Qin Jun himself.

However, what was the Golden Immortal Realm in comparison? Yuan Hong was at the ninth layer of the Golden Immortal Realm, equivalent to the pinnacle of Golden Immortal strength. It made no sense for him to lose.

Before long, the Righteous Alliance army was less than a kilometer from Guarding Slaughter City. Leading them was a strapping man three meters tall, clad in golden armor and wielding a huge saber. Each of his steps held immense impact.

"Qin Emperor! Come out and meet your death!"

The golden-armored brute roared angrily, and the thunderous rumble that followed shook everyone’s ears intensely.

As soon as these words were spoken, the Celestial Soldiers on the city wall were instantly enraged. Lei Zhenzi was especially eager, volunteering, "Your Majesty, let me deal with him!"

Qin Jun nodded. Lei Zhenzi was a super-powerful fourth-layer Golden Immortal. Qin Jun didn’t believe that the Righteous Alliance could send someone surpassing the fourth layer of the Golden Immortal. If that were the case, wouldn’t that mean the Righteous Alliance was stronger than the Demonic Dao’s Nine Venerables? After all, most forces preferred to keep their strongest at home as a precaution.

Lei Zhenzi took out his Golden Staff and flew toward the golden-armored man. With a flap of his Wind and Thunder Wings, he was above the man’s head in the blink of an eye. His staff, seemingly carrying the force of ten thousand jun, smashed down fiercely.

A huge clang resonated!

The terrifying shockwave that followed caused a stir in the wind and even created a hole in the thunderclouds high above. Suddenly, the golden-armored man had a black iron shield in hand to block the incoming Golden Staff.

"Lei Zhenzi, is it? I’ve heard you defeated An Yansha from the Abyss Sect. This time, I want to see just how formidable you are!" the golden-armored man shouted gravely, "Remember, the man who defeats you is named Luo Kui!"

As he spoke, Luo Kui’s face twisted fiercely. He suddenly raised both hands and flipped Lei Zhenzi over in the air.

This scene made Qin Jun frown, and he quietly transmitted to Yuan Hong, "Between Lei Zhenzi and him, who’s stronger?"

"Lei Zhenzi is a little stronger," Yuan Hong replied.

Qin Jun immediately felt relieved. The scene just now had truly startled him. He was actually afraid that Lei Zhenzi would be defeated. In a fight between masters, life and death were decided in an instant; there was no time for substitutes.

Meanwhile, Lei Zhenzi and Luo Kui were already battling it out. Lei Zhenzi’s figure grew to ten feet tall, head and shoulders above Luo Kui. The two fought from the ground to the sky, moving at incredible speed. Those below the Immortal Realm couldn’t catch even a glimpse of their movements.

"Where are the Celestial Soldiers? Slay the enemy army at once!"

Qin Jun, standing on the Savage Elephant King’s back, shouted loudly. His words instantly unleashed the Celestial Soldiers, who had been barely holding back their fighting spirit. They leaped from the city wall like silver arrows flying towards the Righteous Alliance forces. Any ordinary person facing this sight would be paralyzed with fear.

Li Cunxiao carried the Yuwang Spear into battle, crashing into the midst of the Righteous Alliance forces like an explosive cannon, igniting the war in an instant.

Like two mighty currents colliding, the very earth trembled.

Boom—

Lei Zhenzi and Luo Kui collided once more, the Golden Staff smashing against the black iron shield, sparks flying off and the blast of their clash opening up a gap in the clouds overhead.

"With just your might, you’re still far too bold to speak of defeating me," Lei Zhenzi said coldly, clearly provoking Luo Kui. His tiger eyes widened with rage, and suddenly he opened his mouth, expelling a sword of energy that shot straight towards Lei Zhenzi.

A piercing sound—

Despite Lei Zhenzi’s swift reaction, the proximity was too close, and his cheek was slashed open. This infuriated Lei Zhenzi even more.

"You’re courting death!"

Lei Zhenzi bellowed. His Wind and Thunder Wings flapped furiously, and a storm of lightning descended upon Luo Kui, enveloping him completely, causing him to grimace in pain.
