Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws

Chapter 236: The Tormented Army Is Unleashed, It’s Apocalyptic, The White-Robed General

Upon retrieving the Heaven’s Halberd, Shang Han immediately fled the scene before Li Xiaoyun and the rest could even react.

The group was cursing incessantly at Shang Han from behind.

“Damn it, Shang Han! Has he gone mad?”

“He didn’t even care for our lives if it meant he could have the Heaven’s Halberd. What a bastard!”

“There’s no use saying anything else now. Let’s get out of here.”

Everyone quickly made their way out of the city.

Just when they had managed to escape the palace, the entire palace immediately collapsed as an enormous fissure formed below it.

Amid the fissure was a terrifying explosion of ferocious qi.

Li Xiaoyun took a glance backward.

That sight alone gave him numbing goosebumps on his scalp.

From the crack, a flood of black mass that was formed by countless tormented souls was gushing out.

Accompanied by incessant wailing, the grotesque grimaces of these tormented souls sent a chill down everyone’s spine.

Li Xianyun could feel his Daoist core shake like never before, and he could not help but immediately make haste.

“Kill, kill…”

“Kill everyone!”

“Ughh…”

“I’m free, I’m free…”

The bloodthirsty roar, screams, and even the inaudible murmurs of the countless tormented souls merged into the most horrifying symphony of hell!

Their ferocious qi and anger flooded the entire realm.

Since the enchanted boundary of Lou City could not contain such energy, it shattered on the spot, freeing the tormented souls into the open!

For a moment, the momentum of the tormented souls shook the entire Ancient Battlefield, and countless tormented souls let out an uneasy sounding roar.

Even the tormented souls that had survived in the Ancient Battlefield for many years were shocked by the emergence of the ancient Tormented Army.

The physical realm could hardly withhold such terrifying gush of ferocious qi.

“Oh dear, what have we done?”

Li Xiaoyun and the group escaped the enchanted boundary only to be greeted by a sky clouded by tormented souls. They could not help but gulp as their faces filled with shock.

At that moment, several tormented souls had already noticed their presence.

Dressed in armors and armed with weapons, the tormented souls glared at them, and without saying a word, they charged towards them ferociously.

“They’re alive, kill them!”

The tormented souls charged towards Li Xiaoyun and the rest.

Having had their core shaken by the oppressive ferocious qi, Li Xianyun’s troop could no longer react in time.

Their delay had caused them dire consequences, as one by one, the tormented souls chopped and tore the troop members alive.

“Quick, gather around!”

Li Xiaoyun yelled.

The remaining members hastily latched on to him.

All Li Xiaoyun did was retrieve a pearl and crush it into pieces. Then, a mythical stream of Daoist Rhyme materialized and the surrounding sands began to levitate, forming into an enclosed sand bubble that shielded them from the tormented souls.

After several attempts at breaking through the barrier, the Tormented Army did not bother any longer. Instead, they looked towards Sunsoil City and charged forward.

They had been sealed under the palace for thousands of years, their rage qi could shake the entire earth. It was time for them to unwind!

What better ways than to indulge in genocide and destructions?

In Sunsoil City, several strong cultivators could sense their approach.

“This is bad, an army of tormented souls is attacking.”

“What?!”

“Tormented souls, lots and lots of them! Their ferocious qi is terrifying. This is something no humans could handle. We should leave now!”

“Oh dear, at this scale, it’s only a matter of time before Sunsoil City turns into a living hell. We cannot stay any longer.”

“Run!”

The cultivators began to escape frantically from Sunsoil City.

The hotel was in a state of panic.

The guests quickly packed up their belongings before they escaped to safety.

Qian Fugui was smiling bitterly at all that unfolded. “This is the end of my hotel now. This is it.”

With the arrival of the Tormented Army, Sunsoil City would be utterly destroyed. There was no way his little hotel would survive.

“Boss, let’s go. When the tormented souls arrive, I can’t guarantee I’ll be able to protect you,” said a green shadow who manifested behind Qian Fugui.

“Alright.”

Qian Fugui smacked his lips.

A few hundred miles away from Sunsoil City laid the headquarters of a sage orthodox.

It was an honorable orthodoxy known as the Horizon Wing Sect.

On this day, the bells of the Horizon Wing Sect had tolled, signaling the incoming situation that would place the entire orthodoxy in a life-or-death situation.

Countless disciples hastily gathered around, their expressions solemn and stern.

The current Horizon Wing Sect Master was dressed in a full set of armor as he addressed the disciples below him, “I have sensed that a wave of terrifying energy has awakened in the Ancient Battlefield and is making its way here!”

“It’s the awakening of a massive army — one that’s comprised of a myriad of terrifying tormented souls. Once they’ve breached Sunsoil City, their next victim would be the countless citizens that are under the care of Horizon Wing Sect!”

“I have requested for reinforcements from the Black Heaven Sect. However, it would take a while before they’d arrive, which is why I shall be leading a troop of my own forward to defend this onslaught of tormented souls!”

“It is also a crucial battle that’s destined to inflict a mass casualty on our people. If any of you wishes to retreat, please leave immediately.”

At that, the disciples immediately engaged in discussions.

It was not long before dozens left one after another.

However, those who remained all had a determined look on their faces.

Most of them were born and bred on this very land, so this place had many sentimental values to them.

There was no way they could sit back and watch the tormented souls spill blood on this very place!

“Very well, let us fight against this army of tormented souls!”

“Charge!”

The Horizon Wing Sect Master roared.

Soon, multiple rays of light flew towards Sunsoil City.

…

Somewhere deep in the Ancient Battlefield.

Chu Kuangren and Lan Yu arrived at the border of the Core Area.

He could sense that the amount of ferocious qi contained within the Core Area far surpassed that of the Inner Zone.

It was a truly forbidden area!

“Master, do we still want to move forward?”

Lan Yu asked curiously. The ferocious qi within the Core Area was enough to threaten even a Young Emperor like her.

Once they descended further, it was likely that her abilities would not help her survive.

Even so, there was no way she would refuse if venturing deeper was something Chu Kuangren wanted.

Chu Kuangren peeped into the Core Area and contemplated further. Considering his abilities and the tricks he had under his sleeves, exploring the Core Area was definitely something doable.

However, he reminded himself that the Core Area was still one of the Ten Great Forbidden Areas. He would definitely regret should anything bad happen to Lan Yu.

“Eh?”

Suddenly, Chu Kuangren was shocked.

Within his vision, he had picked up on a white figure that had manifested in a far corner of the Core Area. It was a frail figure dressed in a white robe, armed with a black long spear, and its face was covered by a visor.

It was not long before the figure subsequently vanished from Chu Kuangren’s vision.

Lan Yu did not even notice the figure’s presence at all.

“Is that… the White-Robed General?!”

Chu Kuangren was surprised.

He did not expect to witness one of the Seven Great Mysterious Manifestations here!

Shortly after witnessing the White-Robed General, Chu Kuangren abruptly sensed the presence of a terrifying ferocious qi and rage qi behind him.

He turned around to see that an enormous black mass had erupted into the sky and was charging towards Sunsoil City.

“That’s… the Tormented Army of Tranquil Kingdom!”

Chu Kuangren’s eyes widened. He would never have thought that the Tormented Army would be unleashed shortly after he had just passed by them.
