Book 16: Chapter 87: Expressionless Devil King

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Embroidered flame runes covered the backs of these Divine Adjudicators. This was the symbol of Purgatory Mountain’s elders. Moreover, these Divine Adjudicators’ faces were all a bit dried out, a bit pallid in color. This was even more so a sign that they received the devil king’s ‘eternal life’.

That was why all of the chanting Divine Adjudicators all knelt down in reverence upon seeing them walk out.

The sounds of metal moving could be heard.

There were scorching streams that flowed everywhere along with the heavy footsteps.

These Divine Adjudicators kneeling in reverence quickly discovered metal puppets and giant Flame Titans walking out from behind the black drapery. They walked in front of these Divine Adjudicators.

Sounds of gasping sounded across this entire Dragon Snake Mountain Range’s wilderness.

These voices instead came mostly from Zhang Ping’s army. The ones who gasped were all previously Yunqin or Great Mang cultivators.

Apart from powerful cultivation methods and the authority they would gain, there was another important reason why these cultivators chose to swear allegiance to Zhang Ping. It was because they felt like Zhang Ping couldn’t be won against.

The single-wheeled metal puppets and the Flame Titans were all sacred level existences.

There were many of them who were subdued by a single Flame Titan or single-wheeled puppet. There were many sects and cultivations lands that were destroyed by a single Flame Titan.

In reality, there were only a total of eleven metal single-wheeled puppets, thirteen Flame Titans, and ten Purgatory Mountain elders who were granted ‘eternal’ life behind them. In terms of numbers, it wasn’t that great.

But the number of cultivators in this world was already extremely few. The death of any Sacred Expert was a big deal.

This type of combination of single-wheeled metal puppets, Flame Titans and elder level Divine Adjudicators was equivalent to twenty to thirty Sacred Experts appearing at the same time.

Everyone was certain that Green Luan Academy didn’t have this many Sacred Experts even if they added everything up.

Right now, there was a pair of wise and farsighted eyes that was always paying attention to the battle situation from the foot of a Dragon Snake Mountain.

These eyes belonged to Zhantai Qiantang.

These past few months, Zhantai Qiantang had always been hiding from Purgatory Mountain’s pursuit. Only now did he arrive in this wasteland just like many ordinary Yunqin people, becoming an observer of this great battle. However, since Lin Xi already made the decision to fight a decisive battle, then he was just like Chen Feirong, he had confidence that Lin Xi would definitely obtain victory.

Putting aside Zhang Ping’s strength itself, the powers he possessed were indeed shocking. But the only thing that left him confused was why didn’t Zhang Ping make a move himself? Why did he instead send out his subordinates first?

…

Right now, there were quite a few soldiers from Dragon Snake Border Army in this wasteland.

Compared to other armies, the border armies had always been a proud and opinionated group. This was especially the case with Dragon Snake Border Army who was linked with Lin Xi in countless ways. If Central Continent Imperial City hadn’t sent out a single worthless piece of paper, there might already be more than a hundred thousand border army soldiers gathered here to fight against Zhang Ping.

The reason why most of Dragon Snake Border Army’s members didn’t appear here was because Lin Xi previously already informed Dragon Snake Border Army to not interfere in this battle. That was why the only ones who appeared in this wasteland were some Dragon Snake high ranking officers who were only here as observers.

These officers were cultivators. But unlike ordinary cultivators, they would watch purely from the perspective of war and soldier command. They understood clearly that under Nangong Weiyang’s prolonged control, this mountain that had been occupied by bandits a long time ago definitely had many, many military equipment set up. However, what was a bit hard for them to understand was that Turtle Edge Mountain remained quiet all this time. Turtle Edge Mountain remained silent even when those single-wheeled puppets, Flame Titans and Purgatory Mountain elders already entered most of the military equipment’s firing rage.

…

The single-wheeled puppets were like shields that towered in front of the Flame Titans. Meanwhile, the tall and stalwart Flame Titans blocked in front of those Purgatory Mountain elders like mountains of flesh.

This army arrived on the first level of Turtle Edge Mountain’s ‘turtle’s back’.

Right at this time, an iron basket was lowered from the top of Turtle Edge Mountain.

Inside the basket were three people.

A serious faced young lady, a red clothed zither master, and a snow-white clothed swordmaster.

The expressions of the Purgatory Mountain elders behind the single-wheeled metal puppets and Flame Titans suddenly changed. Even though they didn’t recognize that female zither master, they recognized the serious faced green clothed young lady, as well as that moon white gowned swordmaster.

The red clothed zither master smiled. Her fingers landed on the zither strings, starting a clear and cold song.

The single-wheeled puppets’ rumbling, Flame Titans’ roars, Purgatory Mountain elders’ screams, all of this converged to form a unique song.

The single-wheeled puppets, Flame Titans and Purgatory Mountain elders suddenly increased their speeds by several times, leaving afterimages behind them. Meanwhile, the swordmaster in the moon white gown thrusted forward in a confident and relaxed manner.

A flying sword arrived.

Innumerable transparent sword intent surged from this turtle’s back.

The myriad of sword lights were like countless transparent runes. They floated in the sky, cutting at the single-wheeled puppets, Flame Titans and Purgatory Mountain elders’ bodies.

At the same time, the Turtle Edge Mountain that had always remained silent rumbled with metal ringing sounds. The entire mountain seemed to have become an air spewing hornet’s nest.

Many heavy blade carts rushed out from halfway up the mountain at the same time, smashing down fiercely towards these single-wheeled puppets, Flame Titans and Purgatory Mountain elders.

The observing Dragon Snake Border Army high ranking officers were instantly relieved.

Even without looking at that moon white swordmaster’s face, judging from the transparent sword energy that flowed out from the mountains and grass, they knew that the swordmaster could only be Ye Wanqing.

That was why Turtle Edge Mountain didn’t choose to let the enemy walk right in, but rather wanted to deliver a thunderous blow in one move, to completely destroy Purgatory Mountain’s sacred level force!

…

Endless transparent sword lights cut into the bodies of the single-wheeled puppets, Flame Titans and Purgatory Mountain elders.

The true Celestial Sword had already been lost. Ye Wangqing only comprehended a bit of He Baihe’s sword intent. These sword lights that were transparent like silk couldn’t cut through the single-wheeled puppets’ metal exterior, unable to even cut through the bodies of the Flame Titans or Purgatory Mountain Elders.

Moreover, these Purgatory Mountain elders cultivated a type of method that allowed their bodies to completely become like hard rotten wood. Even if deep cuts were made in their bodies, not a trace of blood would flow out.

However, these transparent sword lights were like a great transparent web. It instantly restricted these single-wheeled puppets, Flame Titans and Purgatory Mountain elders, almost locking them down in place.

A great rumbling sounded.

The heavy blade carts crushed down like miniature mountains of metal. As they piled up on this turtle’s back, the Flame Titans only had crushed heads or limbs exposed outwards.

There were a few survivors that escaped through the cracks of the net.

The scene of being crushed by metal blade carts was already shocking enough. However, regardless of whether it was the single-wheeled metal puppets, the Flame Titans, or Purgatory Mountain elders, those who survived were still powerful.

Even so, Nangong Weiyang didn’t even bat an eyelid.

She also released her sword in a simple manner.

A dark blue Sea Fiend King appeared.

The wind alone sent quite a few heavy blade carts flying.

The power of her strength already became much stronger in the half a year since her battle against Zhang Ping in Central Continent City.

But her sword didn’t thrust out, instead, it struck out with a slapping stance.

Her sword was just like an incomparably massive dark blue wave.

It struck at all of the single-wheeled puppets, Flame Titans and Purgatory Mountain elders, pressing towards her and Ye Wangqing.

This ‘turtle’s back’ was still many meters above the ground.

Several more streaks of sword light flew out from between the cliffs, landing on the bodies of these single-wheeled puppets, Flame Titans and Purgatory Mountain elders.

The sounds of extremely heavy falling objects could be heard.

The ground itself seemed to be jumping. The faces of many Purgatory Mountain Divine Adjudicators also became pale.

…

Zhang Ping was seated on his soul weapon throne, his face still expressionless.

His hand only landed on the soul weapon throne again.

This time, there was no metal rumbling sound at all. However, the soldiers on the giant divine elephants that were previously only waiting peacefully all raised their heads.

All of these divine elephants began to move!
