Before Yulong Pass, King Ji did not order his soldiers to prepare for an attack, but instead went alone to awaken his true form of enlightenment.
When the centaurs, whose height was almost approaching the city walls, appeared, the morale of the defenders plummeted.
"It's so big, it'll die, won't it?"
Humans suffer from megalophobia. Some living, and extremely large, creatures can evoke uncontrollable fear, even rendering one unable to move, simply by looking at them.
That's their situation now; some of them can't even hold their guns and bows anymore.
The most nervous person was the commander of the garrison. He had planned it out quite well: soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals, and he would deal with Prince Ji himself.
After all, his true form upon entering the Dao was a golden-haired lion, and he was also very powerful in combat.
Now, he feels that his previous plans were a complete joke.
"Tick-tock..."
A drop of water fell on the ground in front of him, and he subconsciously wiped his forehead.
"I'm sweating? Facing an enemy like this, I'm already drenched in sweat?"
King Ji has not yet taken action. His power represents violence, destruction, and slaughter. Each time, he revels in the cheers and awe of his followers, and the fear and despair of his enemies.
"Stop standing there in a daze. Get the ballista ready. This guy is still made of flesh and blood. I refuse to believe he's invulnerable to swords and spears."
After a brief moment of stunned silence, General Liu Yong regained his conviction as a military commander.
Moreover, by observing the enormous body of the King of Horses, he conceived of some possible opportunities to win.
The saying goes, "Many hairs weaken fire, large bodies weaken gates," so he prepared enough oil for the city's defense.
When the opportunity arises, I'll splash it on him and set him ablaze, so he can get completely fired up.
It's so big it probably won't be very agile. I'm fast enough to maneuver around it and slowly bleed it out.
"Besides, such a big guy, without a suitable weapon, can't possibly break down our city walls with his bare hands, right?"
Thinking it over, he comforted himself and felt relieved, then signaled his soldiers to get ready.
"Come on, we should still be able to..."
Once again, he was speechless halfway through his sentence because of the sight before him.
"What is that?"
Ji Wang spread his hands out, and a black mist swirled around them. It seemed that countless painful faces could be seen within the black mist, howling and roaring, trying to destroy everything.
"■..."
As the black energy gathered to a certain extent, Ji Wang's outstretched hands clenched, and the black energy condensed into a pitch-black halberd.
Well, they could comfort themselves before that King Ji had no weapons, but now the weapons have arrived.
"Damn it, are we really from the same world?"
What's that thing on the other side? It's so big, and it can even create a giant weapon.
I can transform into a hybrid of a lion and a human, possessing immense strength and speed, and my attacks are imbued with fire and lightning.
They're not weak anymore, but the gap is still too big.
"tread……"
Ji Wang took only one step forward slowly, and the soldiers behind him could feel a slight sway.
The earth trembled with every gesture.
"Fire the crossbow bolts! Fire quickly! Don't let this guy get close!"
The hysterical roar of the garrison commander, Liu Yong, jolted the others awake.
In order to survive, these soldiers also took action.
The crossbow bolts were already drawn and loaded via the winch, and the skilled soldiers aimed at the vital points of the King Ji's body before them and fired.
"Whoosh..." ×n
More than twenty ballistae fired at the same time; the rain of arrows, though not overwhelming, was still deadly enough.
Faced with such an offensive, King Ji showed no fear, only an expression of "finally, they've arrived."
