Chapter 168 - 169 Monarch-Level Siege
“Those below Monarch Level should just give up their wishful thinking.”
“Might as well circle around the perimeter. Perhaps there are still some overlooked brocade boxes.”
“Brother, aren’t you leaving? Could it be that you’re also a concealed Monarch Level Powerhouse?”
“My legs are numb.”
“Oh.”
“Is there any kind soul to lift me up? I’m trapped under a stone coffin” said a weak voice from the crack in the ground.
City Tower High Pavilion
At the splendid seating area, a man in a blue dragon robe with goat’s beard showed a gloomy expression on his face.
An Jingshan coldly watched Zhu Minglang, who was brilliantly shining atop Tomb Mountain, as if he wanted to kill him with his gaze, his eyes filled with venomous resentment!
He thought that the current Zhu Minglang was nothing more than a minor character.
He believed it would suffice to have Zhao Yin Ge and his people take action. Zhao Yin Ge had grievances with Zhu Minglang, so such matters would not lead to suspicions about himself.
Who knew that after Zhu Minglang became a Dragon Shepherd, he would obtain such a rare creature as the Sword Spirit Dragon.
Sword Master needs cultivation base.
Without the cultivation base, no matter how advanced the Swordsmanship or how extraordinary the realm, it would still be limited to the level of a Martial Scholar.
But the existence of the Sword Spirit Dragon gave Zhu Minglang a Sword Cultivator’s cultivation level, even if just a bit. Given Zhu Minglang’s past training and his realm, he could unleash infinite power!
Moreover, the cultivation level of the Sword Spirit Dragon was Monarch Level.
“This Sword Spirit Dragon is rare in the world. Zhu Minglang can be said to be blessed in disguise” The Imperial Concubine said with a smile on her face.
“Indeed, Dragon Shepherd is inherently weak. Without a dragon, it is indeed far less compared to a God and Mortal. But it seems that this Sword Spirit Dragon can merge with its owner’s blood, making Zhu Minglang, who is originally a Sword Master, even more powerful than some God and Mortal!” said a Mr. Hou.
“What does King An think?” the Imperial Concubine asked.
An Jingshan, on the surface, showed amazement and admiration. He opened his mouth and said, “In my opinion, this Sword Spirit possession probably cannot be done at all times. Zhu Minglang should still be a Dragon Shepherd Even so, to display such strength and exceptionalness at critical moments is enough to surpass everything.”
As they were speaking, laughter emanated from the stairs.
The person laughing heartily carried a bit of arrogance, even some deliberate showiness.
The one who came laughing was Zhu Heavenly Officer.
Finally, after arranging everything, Zhu Heavenly Officer had time to come and watch the battle here.
But this one look filled Zhu Heavenly Officer with immense joy.
When hundreds of good swords suddenly disappeared from the Sword Casting Hall, Zhu Heavenly Officer has always been puzzled, wondering how Zhu Minglang managed to take away so many swords, and what did he do with them?
Now he finally understood.
It turned out that there was such a dragon by Zhu Minglang’s side.
Moreover, the existence of this Sword Spirit Dragon meant that Zhu Minglang’s once invincible sword cultivation did not have to be completely abolished due to practicing the Art of Dragon Shepherd.
Even more so, in the near future, Zhu Minglang might surpass the realms that were once unreachable as a Divine and Mortal, relying on this situation.
Such an exciting scene was exactly what Zhu Heavenly Officer saw.
It’s better to arrive at the right time than early.
Various major forces were restraining Zhu Gate and wanted to use this competition to suppress Zhu Gate’s further expansion beyond the Imperial City, so they came up with this strategy, integrating the contest within the grand competition
Thinking that Zhu Gate had no one.
Little did they know that Zhu Minglang alone shone brighter than the vast majority of forces!
The major forces could be said to have lost their wives and lost their armies!
“What a transformation from adversity to life, worthy of being my son, Zhu Heavenly Officer. As a Divine and Mortal, his brilliance was dazzling, and even switching to becoming a Dragon Shepherd, he is still radiant!” Zhu Heavenly Officer’s face never lost its smile.
At this time, many people also began to echo along.
Zhu Heavenly Officer took special notice of An Jingshan.
He discovered that this old fox hadn’t slipped up at all.
An Jingshan stood for King An, the Emperor’s brother of a different surname, who had also made contributions to the Supreme Court Imperial Dynasty.
Zhu Heavenly Officer now clearly understood who his enemy was, though he hadn’t expected it to be someone of King An’s stature.
No wonder those elders from the various forces dared to be so rampant, even deliberately placing the Contract Book of Li Chuan Continent within the mechanism city…
But Zhu Gate was not to be trifled with.
The assault of the enemy hadn’t inflicted any substantial damage upon him, but that was because Zhu Minglang was formidable.
They indeed trampled on the dignity of Zhu Gate!
Zhu Heavenly Officer would certainly return the favor doubly!
“Now only disciples with Monarch level strength are left, I wonder if they can take down Zhu Minglang by joining forces,” said Mr. Hou.
“It’s hard to say, after all, Zhu Minglang’s Sword Territory is quite close to that of Xuehen’s,” the Imperial Concubine obviously favored Zhu Minglang more.
“Pu Hanrong has not yet made a move, his strength is not inferior to Huo Shangjun.”
“He Qingqian’s strength should not be underestimated either; this lady is someone I have always wanted to recruit into my doors,” said Mr. Hou.
“Why is Zhao Chen still waiting? Is he scared after seeing his own brother, Zhao Wu, start to fear?”
…
At the Nine Army Cemetery, on Tomb Mountain, there were very few people left who wanted to continue the competition.
Those who had not reached Monarch level strength naturally withdrew from this battlefield. The tempting brocaded boxes were left untouched, as none dared to claim them, especially since those Generals’ likenesses possessed offensive capabilities.
Zhu Minglang surveyed the area, noticing that the number of people who reached this summit wasn’t small.
This was rather surprising to him, as he hadn’t expected that so many disciples from the major forces would have reached the Monarch level; not to mention some proud geniuses who disdained such struggles in the Imperial City and devoted themselves to the path.
“It’s quite bothersome, I, Pu Hanrong, do not like this kind of fighting, the many against the few. But it can’t be helped, my brother has repeatedly entrusted me to take the Contract Book of Li Chuan Continent, if you are willing to let me have this one, I can back out,” said Pu Hanrong, coming forward with a smile.
“Who’s your brother?” asked Zhu Minglang.
“Pu Shiming, one of the heads of our Pu Clan, Hall Master of Purple Sect Clan, and an Orderer of Li Chuan Continent,” replied Pu Hanrong.
“If he’s an Orderer, why then does he covet Li Chuan Continent?” asked Zhu Minglang.
“That I do not know,” said Pu Hanrong.
“In fact, I am a very reasonable person…” said Zhu Minglang to Pu Hanrong, “For instance, when I lack confidence, I am certainly open to negotiation. Unfortunately, today I feel quite confident.”
“So there is no room for negotiation?” asked Pu Hanrong.
“It’s more than that; you still have time to leave, or else the brocaded boxes you’ve collected with such effort will also become mine.” Zhu Minglang smiled radiantly.
Pu Hanrong’s face darkened.
No wonder Ye Guang said that he had never seen such a punch-deserving person in his life.
This guy was indeed outrageously arrogant!
“Pu Hanrong, there is no need to discuss these matters with him at this time. He is nothing but an arrogant bastard. If we all join forces against him, he won’t be able to fend us off!” At this moment, Zhao Chen of the Royal Family spoke up.
By Zhao Chen’s side, the Bone Dragon had not yet made a move.
It was as if he was waiting for the high-ranking Monarch level experts from the major forces to gather.
After all, he had witnessed with his own eyes how his brother Zhao Wu had his chest pierced by a sword!
