Chapter 677: Chapter 537: Cutting Off the Foundation + Chapter 538: Righteous Blood Purifies the Heavens_3

"Where exactly did the problem arise?"

He couldn’t fathom it, not because he couldn’t understand, but because he refused to believe.

The enemy’s stratagem to sap his will was tightly linked, his countermeasures not only failed to turn the tide but accelerated the collapse of people’s faith.

By now, of the hundreds of thousands of citizens in the city, scarcely any still harbored favorable sentiments towards the Brahma Temple.

The few remaining strands of white on the beads seemed to be mocking him.

Mocking him for his futile struggle, as if it were all a joke.

The enemy had not even truly begun their attack.

Yet the signs of defeat were already showing.

"Form the battle formation, life and death hang in the balance, it’s time for a desperate fight, everyone, if you have any powerful trump cards, now is not the time to hide them, take them all out."

Old Monk Xuan Shan is truly of profound Buddhist nature and has achieved the Dharma Manifestation Realm.

His mental cultivation is extremely high.

With another turn of Divine Will, he knows that now is absolutely not the time to be disheartened.

Once he loses the will to fight,

Then, this battle is not worth fighting, a certain defeat.

With the spirit of the Invincible Martial Intent that Zhou Ping’an has realized, naturally, it’s an aggressive sweep, cutting down all in his path like fire.

His momentum will surely rise, and he will take advantage of the victory to break into other County Governments. By then, if our side is still unprepared, we might be overwhelmed in one fell swoop, and he would gain the overwhelming advantage.

The rise and fall of Qi Fortune is often decided in a split second.

Don’t look at Brahma Temple and Tang Family as millennium-old forces, but when it comes to war, most of the time, it doesn’t look at strength on paper; ultimately it is about adapting to rapid change.

A thousand years ago, in the chaos of Yin spirits, nobody would have expected that the small fisherman on the banks of Yushui River would be the one to laugh last.

Xiao Changhe, starting as a nobody with simple boxing skills, first dominated the countryside, bloodily assassinating the crafty, and later, as his power grew like a snowball, he claimed the lands of Three Provinces within mere half a year.

By that time, seven major forces came to his aid.

Heaven and earth were turned upside down, Qi Fortune converged, and talented and beautiful people emerged in droves from his command.

Using another three years to suppress the Three Buddha Sect, Four Immortals Sect, Twelve Families, sweep across the Three Demon Paths, Seven Sword Sects, and ascended to the peak.

After that battle, Xiao Changhe, with the reputation as the world’s top expert, forced major Sects and Factions to make covenant below the castle, reigned for ten years, and then ascended to heaven.

It can be said that his rise seems like cheating, catching everyone off guard.

Every time everyone thought he had reached a dead end, another scene of blooms in the dark would emerge.

Somehow, again, a new master would emerge to assist him.

And now, Zhou Ping’an’s rise, though far less miraculous than Xiao Changhe’s, is not much slower.

In just a few months, starting as a commoner, he’s about to conquer two prefectures, his soldiers are fierce and formidable, difficult to defend against.

It’s as if in every battle, warriors are assisted by God.

And what of Brahma Temple and Tang Family? Divine Martial Realm masters cannot come out at this time, and even if they do, they’re like fish out of water, unable to exert much power.

The third Spirit Tide, it seems, will take some time to arrive.

Both powers harbor their own ulterior motives and not every individual in the True Martial Late Stage is willing to risk their lives by coming out of their Heavenly Cave Blessed Land to fight to the death.

As they push responsibility on each other and play their games, time quietly slips away. Likely, by the time Zhou Ping’an strikes at the foot of Jiangzhou City, those elders with profound cultivation might still be boasting and cultivating their true nature.

"Uncle Master, rest assured, this city is heavily fortified, an army of thirty thousand can be considered elite, added with house servants from each family assisting in defense, it’s not so easy to truly break through the city."

Hu Guangyu is not a fool either.

Being able to become a disciple of Master Xuan Tong, the head of Brahma Temple, and managing the administrative center of a prefecture as an amateur disciple, he’s the best choice both in methods and talents.

The most impressive thing is, he can gather masses, coordinate many big and small powers, and has full authority.

Moreover, aside from some greed and fondness for the opposite sex, Hu Guangyu doesn’t have much of any other significant flaws, values city defense and military highly, and knows people and how to use them well.

The Commander Lian Zhenshan is an old general he has befriended through loyalty; with twenty years of raising and training soldiers, with him in charge of military affairs, Zhao Mountain City is extremely hard to breach.

"I have heard that Zhou Ping’an is invincible, fond of leading charges and risking his life in light footed attacks. All of you, come with me to set up an ambush and kill him on the spot..."

Lian Zhenshan actually doesn’t quite understand why Old Monk Xuan Shan is so disheartened.

The defending army has over thirty thousand soldiers, and they are filled with experts.

With the Dharma Manifestation Realm monks of Brahma Temple and the True Martial experts of Tang Family, there are also many Jianghu masters raised within the City Guardian Mansion.

But what about outside the city?

Apart from Zhou Ping’an and a few lesser-known Outer Peak Elders from the Cloud Water Sect.

Even Elder Bai He from the Cloud Water Sect’s Heavenly Cave Blessed Land didn’t make it to this battle.

The troops under their command are laughable.

Only a little over three thousand cavalry and ten thousand infantry.

With just these few experts and this meager force, it’s impossible to think they could conquer this great city that’s prepared in strict defense.

"Don’t worry about my Tang Family not making an effort, General Lian spoke well, right in front of the city gate, on Vermilion Bird Street. If Zhou Ping’an cannot break in, then so be it, but once he gets to our front, we’ll certainly make sure he won’t be able to leave."

A middle-aged scholar in a black Confucian robe, holding a white jade fan, spoke in a deep voice.

Behind him stood what looked like two mountains.

No, they were two men, each towering over twelve feet, their muscles knotted like a mountain range, looking identical.

This scholar is naturally Tang Yuanqing, the True Martial elder of the Jiangzhou Tang Family who is stationed at Zhao Mountain City.

Master of the Immortal Art Technique "Righteous Blood Purifies the Heavens," especially adept at assassinating top experts.

Although he is only in the True Martial Middle Stage True Form Realm, when it comes to life-and-death battles, he is even superior to his well-liked elder cousin Tang Shihong, who has achieved a Dharma form.

And those two giant men behind him, resembling wild children with Demonic Barbarian bloodlines, were said to be orphans he picked up and noticing their unusual Muscles and Bones, he adopted them, gave them his own family name, and named them Tang San and Tang Jiu.

These two specialize in warfare, one with a sword and the other with a sabre, with extremely fierce and dangerous killing techniques, having carved out a formidable name for the Tang Family.

Old Monk Xuan Shan had heard that these two brothers had once entered a Heavenly Cave Blessed Land, and with their sheer physical strength, they could wrestle with serpents, move mountains and demolish cities, like demons.

Yes, they are not Qi Refiners; they cultivate their body, assisted by Tang Family’s "Blood Technique," and even in front of a True Martial Late Stage Dharma, they are as helpless as chicks.

If someone without full knowledge of their capabilities fails to kill Tang Yuanqing first, allowing him to use his secret technique, no matter how high their cultivation or strong their combat power, they too will suffer a great loss.
