Chapter 1679 Would You Believe It?

"You..."

Never in their wildest dreams did they imagine that a mirror could release lightning. Mou Wu and the black-armored man were frantic, roaring in unison.

Many soldiers were also stunned by the electricity, all suffering internal injuries.

They had thought it was something good, but it turned out to be this. Just as they were about to pull their hands away, they heard Commander Hen Jiang ahead, speaking with an apologetic expression: "Sorry, a bit of an operational error, I think I gave you the wrong one. Keep holding the mirror, this time I promise it won't be like before..."

Before his words ended, the sound of thunder continued: "Crack! Crack!" Unceasingly.

Above the mirror, thick bolts of lightning appeared, dense and continuous, falling down... All the soldiers went mad.

It was indeed different... but damn, it was even fiercer than before, bro!

Were they determined to toy with us to death?

Full of frustration, they wanted to withdraw their hands, but found that the lightning's power was too strong, their bodies paralyzed, unable to pull back.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

One by one, white foam bubbled from their mouths, then consciousness faded.

Even in death, they couldn't believe that their own commander had so thoroughly betrayed them.

Even screwing over his own men... How did this fool ever become commander?

Most of these soldiers were around the third or fourth level of the Saint Domain. How could they withstand such violent thunder? After being electrocuted twice, nearly the entire force was wiped out.

Not only them, but even Mou Wu and the black-armored man, with their strength, were convulsing all over, nearly unconscious.

When facing a tribulation of lightning, they would prepare various treasures in advance. This time, caught completely off guard, even an Immortal Realm expert would have their scalp tingling and their thoughts disjointed.

"That's more like it..."

Seeing that over ten thousand soldiers were almost all electrocuted, Zhang Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Heavenly Fate Masters and Heavenly Fate artifacts both steal the secrets of the Heavenly Dao. As long as he activated the Library of Heaven's Path, it would immediately punish them.

A flash of inspiration led him to this idea, and unexpectedly, it worked.

These two fellows suddenly appearing was a bit surprising, but fortunately, no one could have imagined such an eccentric attack method, and they fell for it directly.

"Bone Dragon, go check if any soldiers are still alive and kill them all! Ding Ding, Demon Saber, deal with Mou Wu!"

Knowing that this was just luck—the enemy was unprepared—and that once these two Immortal Realm experts recovered, the outcome was uncertain, Zhang Xuan did not hesitate. With a flicker, he appeared before the black-armored man.

Golden Origin Cauldron and Demon Saber would handle Mou Wu, while he confronted the black-armored man.

"You are not Hen Jiang! I will kill you..."

Seeing all his soldiers struck dead by lightning, and the Bone Dragon finishing off the survivors, the black-armored man, no matter how slow, realized that this person was not Hen Jiang at all!

Filled with rage, he flicked his wrist, and a long sword appeared in his palm, thrusting it toward Zhang Xuan.

Hum!

Before the sword was even close, a special mental force, like a needle, slammed into him, causing his mind to spin and nearly making him fall.

"Soul attack?"

His pupils contracted.

This was an extremely advanced soul attack; even he had no defense against it.

Crash!

As he was dizzy, a blur appeared before him—the fake Commander Hen Jiang had already arrived, punching straight at his head.

"Bloodline ignition..."

Knowing that if the fist landed, he would die on the spot, the black-armored man did not hesitate. He instantly activated the blood within him, and a powerful aura surged forth.

"Bloodline activation is useless..."

As his power surged, the black-armored man was about to counterattack when he saw the fellow opposite him pick up a small inkstone and smash it down on his head.

Crack!

A crack appeared in his skull.

As an Immortal Realm expert, his body was indestructible and imperishable, his defense nearly invincible. Even if he stood still and let a Golden Body Realm expert attack, they might not break his defense... Yet this fellow, casually wielding an inkstone, had torn open his skull...

What level of treasure was this?

Bro, where the hell did you come from?

That Bone Dragon was already so high-level, along with the brick and the demon saber... Three divine weapons were astonishing enough, but there was also this damn inkstone...

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

His shock had barely begun when he saw the other party wielding the inkstone, smashing down relentlessly, and his consciousness slowly faded...

This was probably the most humiliating death for an Immortal Realm expert. Just after being electrocuted and still numb, he was beaten to death with an inkstone... He never dreamed of such an outcome.

"It's indeed not an offensive-type treasure, not very convenient..."

Putting the inkstone back into his ring, Zhang Xuan shook his head.

This item, obtained from Tantai Zhenqing, was a treasure left by the ancient sage Ziyu. Although its level was high, it was still somewhat awkward to use for attacking.

Of course, if Tantai Zhenqing knew that he was using this treasure to smash people's heads, he would probably go crazy and faint on the spot.

This was an ancestral heirloom, used for grinding ink and writing characters. When writing, it could unleash greater power from the Master Teacher golden soldiers. But this guy was using it to smash people...

A scholar's tool, used with the temperament of a bandit...

Having killed the black-armored man, Zhang Xuan turned around and saw Mou Wu, his face under the bottom of the Golden Origin Cauldron, wearing an expression of utter despair.

Without looking, he knew that even without his intervention, this guy was doomed.

Although weapons fighting alone were not as effective as when controlled by their master, the Golden Origin Cauldron and the Demonic Saber were both higher in level than Mou Wu, and they attacked together. Moreover, Mou Wu had not yet recovered from the electrocution, so naturally he could not resist.

The Dragon Bone Spear also flew over.

After two electrocutions, over ten thousand Yiling tribesmen were nearly all dead. The few survivors were quickly finished off.

To be honest, at this moment, the Dragon Bone Spear truly admired this man from the bottom of its heart.

An army of over ten thousand Yiling tribesmen—even Ran Qiu, before his breakthrough to ancient sage, would have fled as far as possible... This guy, single-handedly and with almost no losses, had wiped them all out, not a single one escaping...

If told, no one would believe it.

One man suppressing an entire underground cavern...

If this got out, it would become a legend...

Just as he was marveling, suddenly, from afar, the wind howled again, and another black-armored man broke through the air.

"Commander Hen Jiang, receive the decree! The Morning Star Emperor orders: hold your position, do not attack or retreat rashly..."

Arriving in midair, the black-armored man held a golden imperial decree aloft. After speaking, he looked down and saw the ground littered with corpses and the brick sitting on Mou Wu's face. His brow twitched. "Hen Jiang, what is this?"

Below, Commander Hen Jiang looked awkward, scratched his head, and spoke with an embarrassed tone.

"If I said... they were sleeping, would you believe it?"
