Chapter 66: Chapter 64 Kyoto

During the flight of the flying ship, several flying corrupted spirits blocked the path, but they were quickly shattered by the weapons on the ship.

The three flying ships lined up swiftly heading towards Kyoto.

During the journey, Lin Qianxuan observed the scenery of other cities below.

Desolate, bleak, and twisted.

Under the gray sky, heavy snow fell, all things lifeless, with remnants of once-prosperous buildings, facilities out of service, and countless twisted corrupted spirits either dawdling or rampaging within.

This scene made Lin Qianxuan deeply realize that this world had already stepped into an apocalypse.

The flying ship came to a halt.

It stopped in front of a massive city.

The wall of this city was nearly a hundred meters tall, the buildings within even more flourishing, with many shop signs still glowing with colored lights, yet puzzlingly, there were no signs of life or even corrupted spirits within.

Thick corrupted air shrouded the city’s sky, far beyond grim, it was almost pitch black, visibly at the deepest part of the city, there was a place that erupted like a column of endless corrupted air.

[Gongsun Ying (looking seriously ahead): This is Kyoto. The concentration of corrupted air here is too high. If the flying ship goes in, we probably won’t see the path clearly, and if it gets this contaminated, the ship might soon collapse. We’ll need to walk to the Imperial City from here.]

The flying ship descended, stopping outside the Imperial City.

The rebel army also descended onto the official road.

The wide official road was devoid of a single soul, no corrupted spirits, eerily silent.

The grand city gates of Wudu were tightly shut, giving off a rather strange feeling.

The group proceeded forward, reaching beneath the city gates.

[Gongsun Ying (drawing her sword): Everyone back off a bit.]

Hearing this, the others quickly moved to the side, and then Gongsun Ying suddenly infused divine energy into her sword, slashing forward.

“Swish~!”

A massive burst of sword qi flew out, striking the city gate.

Thud~!

The gate flashed with light, merely emitting a loud sound, without budging.

[Gongsun Yue (frowning): Sister, the gates of Wudu were built during the reign of the Divine Martial Great Emperor. It’s said to have been nurtured over a long time, the material now extraordinary. We’d better find another way.]

[Gongsun Ying (nodding): Alright, let’s go over the wall.]

The group immediately prepared to climb over the wall.

Everyone present was an expert, climbing a wall was not difficult.

The rebels extended mechanisms from their armor bodies, directly starting to walk up the wall as if on flat ground.

Game characters leaped lightly, flying onto the top of the wall.

Gongsun Ying also had divine energy bloom under her feet, leaping up, taking two or three hops to reach the nearly hundred-meter-high wall.

The wall was also deserted, the whereabouts of the garrison troops unknown.

After crossing the wall, the group directly prepared to head towards the Imperial City along the road.

But then the scene shifted, a crimson pillar of light shot up from the observation tower on the wall, piercing the pitch-black corrupted air in the sky.

Subsequently, pillars of light started lighting up all along the wall.

[Gongsun Ying (frowning): Moon Peak? How did it get activated? Everyone be careful!]

“Bang~!”

A uniform sound echoed out.

The group’s eyes turned to the city, seeing rows upon rows of dark figures approaching from all directions.

“Bang bang bang bang~!”

Their footsteps were uniform, their postures and movements like a single entity, wearing armor bodies, wielding weapons and shields, with an intimidating momentum.

What surprised Lin Qianxuan was that their armor bodies were the same as those found by the rebels in the Divine Strategy Tower.

[Divine Martial Guard: Expel the invaders, protect peace for the people!!!]*N

The overwhelming shout left the rebels somewhat dumbfounded.

[Liu Qingqing (shocked): Divine Martial Guard, how is this possible? Do they still have consciousness?]

[Shen Hongshan (shaking his head): Doesn’t seem like it. Looks like they’re also corrupted, but not completely. They still have the drive to defend the nation.]

[Lou Zheng (narrowing his eyes slightly): So we’re the invading enemies now? Their numbers are at least five thousand Divine Martial Guards. Hopefully, we won’t die too miserably!]

On screen, the Divine Martial Guards neared the vicinity of the wall.

The rebels found the situation grave.

Lin Qianxuan watched everything, wondering in his heart if they could be opponents.

[Gongsun Ying (with a serious expression, directly manifesting her primordial spirit): Stay close to me! We’ll carve out a path!]

In an instant, an eight zhang Primordial Spirit Dharma Form appeared around Gongsun Ying, she raised her sword, rushing forward.

(Keep up, assist Gongsun Ying.)

After Lin Qianxuan gave the order, the game character rushed to Gongsun Ying’s side with a large mass of water vapor.

In an instant, nearly everyone revealed their primordial spirits.

Gongsun Ying and the game character led, with the three squad commanders and Gongsun Yue behind.

The remaining three hundred plus rebels followed.

They charged directly at the Divine Martial Guard.

Swish~!

Gongsun Ying’s slash carried an overwhelming sword qi, terrifyingly powerful.

Yet, as it neared the Divine Martial Guard, it was directly blocked by a shield.

The shield flashed with light, and the massive sword qi dissipated instantly.

Gongsun Ying’s advance was halted.

The game character acted firmly, forming a highly condensed stream of water into a pitch-black water column, shooting forth.

Boom~!

The impact of the water column is powerful enough to split stones and shatter gold.

Yet it is still blocked by the shield formation formed by the Divine Martial Guard.

Faintly visible is the virtual image of a massive shield appearing in front.

[Divine Martial Guard: Expel foreign enemies, protect the people!]

[Gongsun Yue (struggling to open her eyes): It’s the Divine Martial Battle Array, their divine energy is linked together, difficult to break through head-on. Sister, sir, break through from the third person on the right…..]

Almost the moment Gongsun Yue finished speaking, the game character and Gongsun Ying attacked simultaneously.

Water flow and sword qi flew out together, and in an instant, the formation of the Divine Martial Guard was directly broken.

However, after advancing a short distance, they were stopped again.

[Gongsun Yue (eyes wide open): To the left!]

Upon receiving the hint, Gongsun Ying and the game character attacked again.

Soon, with Gongsun Yue’s reminders, they quickly penetrated deeper.

Lin Qianxuan didn’t expect the Eyes of Death to be so useful.

Immediately, he also let the game character try using it.

The screen of the game character changed.

In an instant, the screen turned grayish-white, with red marks appearing at certain intersecting points of the army formation.

Evidently, those are the “Death Marks” of this battle array.

“So that’s how it is!”

The concept of death is not just about destruction or dying.

It should also have some abstract concepts.

Like the concept of breaking the array.

To kill this array is possible.

That’s why Gongsun Yue can use the Eyes of Death to unlock.

Can one kill the concept of death?

If possible, can one see its Death Mark?

What kind of manifestation would it be?

Lin Qianxuan didn’t attempt it for now, and immediately, he issued a command.

Before Gongsun Yue could remind with difficulty, he first let the game character find the weak spot and break through.

Although the game character didn’t fully share Gongsun Yue’s Eyes of Death, relying on the majestic divine energy, he could hold on for a few minutes to help relieve some pressure.

This scene slightly surprised Gongsun Yue, and she provided a three percent connection degree to the game character, moving closer to sixty percent.

Soon, the battle array of five thousand Divine Martial Guards was forcibly pierced through by the group.

Precisely speaking, it was pierced through by the game character and Gongsun Ying.

The Divine Martial Guard continued pursuing from behind, when suddenly, a blue ray of light fell straight down from the sky.

[Gongsun Ying (tense): Careful!]

“Boom~!”

The blue light fell at the end of the Rebel Army, directly killing several members of the Rebel Army and simultaneously crushing several Divine Martial Guards.

In the image, the blue light showed its physical form, it was a giant object resembling a water droplet. Its initial front end was at least ten meters wide, and above it was an extremely thick chain at least several hundred meters long. Following the chain upward revealed a person wearing an armor body over two yards tall.

[Xiong De (angry): Those who trespass upon Wudu, kill!!!]

[Gongsun Yue (shocked): General Xiong? Why is he also…..]

[Gongsun Ying (stepping forward): I’ll hold him off, you all hurry into the Imperial City.]

Without giving the group time to respond or think, Xiong De raised his hand, causing the front end of the chain’s water droplet to naturally shrink, transforming to the size of a thumb, and was then suddenly thrown out.

The water droplet expanded in the air, becoming a giant droplet with a diameter of ten meters, crashing towards the Rebel Army.

“Boom~!”

No one dared to attempt a hard catch of this massive water droplet, and even Gongsun Ying’s slashed sword qi was directly shattered.

Several more people were killed under this weapon resembling a Meteor Hammer.

Lin Qianxuan dared not hesitate anymore, taking advantage of the maneuver phase, quickly letting the game character operate the Spiritual Energy Cannon for an attack.

(Use Spiritual Energy Cannon for an attack.)

A clear-screen attack with a radius of one hundred meters, even the War God Armor Body couldn’t withstand it. Lin Qianxuan didn’t believe Xiong De could block it.

In the game image.

In the cloud operated by the game character, the Spiritual Energy Cannon was activated, then a blue shell flew out, heading straight towards Xiong De in the distance.

“Boom~!”

“Bang~!”

A loud explosion occurred, the blue light blossomed, the airwaves surged, and the shockwave directly flung nearby Rebel Army members.

As for Xiong De and surrounding Divine Martial Guards who got struck head-on, they were directly blasted into powder.

Originally, Lin Qianxuan thought so, until he saw in the ring-shaped pit of ruptured explosion, a figure looking at the group.

Xiong De’s armor body had completely disappeared, but layers of golden energy light appeared on his body surface, protecting and enveloping his entire body.

“What the hell?”

[Lin Qianxuan: Why isn’t he dead?]

[Gongsun Ying (slightly shocked, explaining to you): General Xiong has practiced the [Iron Armor Skill], similar to what you learned, [Asura Sword Technique], which can use divine energy to condense a layer of shield armor in the acupoints capable of resisting full attacks from Divine Manifestation level experts. He has practiced this skill for over a hundred and fifty years without a day’s sloth, and with Great Qian’s Kyoto at peace for long, who knows how many layers of shield armor he has by now. Your Divine Machine surely possesses endless might, but I’m afraid a single attack alone won’t break the defense…..]

“Practiced Iron Turtle Skill for over a hundred and fifty years? How do I fight this?”

Lin Qianxuan’s expression slightly changed, he still had seven shells, and wasn’t sure if using them all could kill him. Seeing the dense golden glow on the opponent’s body, he felt somewhat uncertain….
