Cannons of mortals?
Shenji Battalion?
Does this mean they don't take him, a late-stage Core Formation cultivator, seriously?
Lu Xuan was also eager to see the abilities of mortals.
It seems that the cultivation world of this Divine Martial Kingdom is not simple.
The mortals here, besides using swords, spears, and shields, have also evolved things like cannons?
After a few cups of tea's time...
Lu Xuanling's spiritual vision technique allowed him to see the billowing dust rising in the distance and the neighing of warhorses from afar.
Lord Liu knew his Black Wolf Army had arrived when he heard the sound.
As the city lord of Daye City, he commanded ten thousand soldiers! In particular, the thousand Black Wolf soldiers were his elite personal guards.
There is also the Divine Machine Battalion, which was formed by him in a fit of rage after being rejected by Master Wuji.
It has twelve divine cannons, each capable of firing dozens of egg-sized iron pellets.
Its power is enough to kill an ordinary Qi Refining stage cultivator!
This was originally Liu Chengzhu's plan to wait until Wuji Zhenren was old and frail, then use the Shenji Battalion's shotguns to kill Wuji Zhenren and avenge himself.
Now, we need to use it ahead of schedule.
Accompanying the Black Wolf Army and the Divine Machine Battalion were several lieutenants and a woman with a seductive figure.
She arrived in a luxurious sedan chair and approached Lord Liu, flattering him:
"Who angered our city lord? They're courting death! It seems they're about to be reduced to ashes. Even a Qi Refining Immortal Master can't withstand the power of your Divine Machine Battalion's cannons."
It turns out this was one of Lord Liu's concubines, whom he had sent to witness his power and prestige.
Upon seeing this, Lu Xuan said with disgust, "Like a fly."
A fire blade technique flew out.
The alluring woman instantly turned into ashes.
"My Ninth Consort! How despicable!" Lord Liu roared in fury.
"The Black Wolf Army will move first! The Divine Machine Battalion will follow."
"Yes!" The thin-faced lieutenant leading a thousand Black Wolf soldiers bowed and accepted the order. He rode his horse, spear in hand, and led the thousand Black Wolf soldiers, charging towards Lu Xuan like a dark, surging tide.
They each carried a large black iron spear, and each was as strong as a tiger.
Before each Black Wolf Army member is selected, they must be able to kill wolves with their bare hands; this is a basic skill for every Black Wolf Army member.
"The little Black Wolf Army is utterly laughable." The Wuji True Man, who was at the late stage of Qi Refining, stroked his beard and chuckled to himself upon seeing this.
Faced with powerful cultivators, even a large Black Wolf Army would be of no use.
Lu Xuan, who was at the peak of the mid-stage of Core Formation, felt as if he were seeing a swarm of ants rushing towards him.
"Heavenly Fire Talisman!"
This is merely a technique used during the Qi Refining stage.
Lu Xuan scattered dozens of Heavenly Fire Talismans, not bothering to waste his magic power.
"Bang! Bang! Bang..."
Dozens of Heavenly Fire Talismans exploded in mid-air.
Each Heavenly Fire Talisman transformed into hundreds of fist-sized fire meteors, hurtling rapidly towards the Black Wolf Army!
"Oh, my eyes!"
"How did my body turn to ashes..."
"How did my spear turn into molten iron? Where did my body go...?"
Such pitiful screams continued to be heard.
In the blink of an eye, thousands of Black Wolf soldiers were wiped out.
The remaining remnants of the Black Wolf Army scattered and fled, vowing never to fight against the legendary cultivators again!
"How could this happen! My Black Wolf Army, my life's work! This is the foundation upon which we became the city lords of Great Leaf City!"
Lord Liu was filled with regret. He had completely lost his mind. How could he have dared to fight a Celestial Master? Moreover, this Celestial Master didn't even put Wuji Zhenren in his eyes.
"No, I want revenge! Lieutenant General Zhang, lead your Divine Machine Battalion and kill this cultivator! After you accomplish this, I can make you my son-in-law!"
Deputy General Zhang, who was standing nearby, had originally intended to flee, but upon hearing City Lord Liu's promise and recalling the unparalleled beauty of the City Lord's daughter, Liu Susu, he was instantly filled with fervor and exclaimed:
"Lord Liu, rest assured. My Divine Machine Battalion has killed cultivators before. Back then, when I led our Divine Machine Battalion, didn't we kill Old Black Wind, the leader of the Black Wind Mountain bandit den, who was at the second level of Qi Refining? I believe we can succeed this time too!"
Lord Liu said, "It's all up to people. Go ahead, I'll go back to Daye City first and prepare a banquet to welcome you back. I look forward to you becoming my son-in-law."
After saying this, Lord Liu rode his horse back towards Daye City without looking back.
He's not stupid.
How could he not see that Lu Xuan's magical power far exceeded his expectations?
The only thing to do is to let Vice General Zhang delay for a while so that he can return to Daye City and ask Baili Gongfeng for help.
He had heard that this Hundred-Li Elder had recently become a disciple of the Thousand Swords Valley, the number one immortal cultivation sect in the Divine Martial Kingdom!
"Yes, go find Elder Baili and ask him to invite the Foundation Establishment Grandmaster of Thousand Swords Valley to deal with this person, rescue my daughter, and kill the Black Rat Demon."
Lu Xuan originally had no intention of paying any attention to this Lord Liu.
However, upon further thought, he immediately unleashed a sword aura, aiming to kill Lord Liu from ten miles away in an instant.
"Senior, please have mercy! I am Baili Ren, a disciple of the Thousand Swords Sect. I beg you to spare Lord Liu's life. He has done me a great favor. I am willing to offer all my spirit stones to you in exchange for Lord Liu's life!"
At this moment, a young man with white hair walked over and made a sincere request to Lu Xuan.
"So you are Baili Ren, the traitorous disciple of Master Wuji?"
“That’s right, senior. I am Baili Ren. Back then, I stole my master’s Foundation Establishment Pill and exchanged it for several bottles of Qi Gathering Pills, which are late-stage Qi Refining pills, and that’s how I reached the late-stage Qi Refining realm. Later, I planned to go back to Wuji Temple to steal again, but my master, Wuji Zhenren, discovered it and beat me severely. If it weren’t for City Lord Liu saving me, I, Baili Ren, would have died.”
Baili Ren then knelt down and said:
“Senior, you must be a Foundation Establishment cultivator. I know I am no match for you, and I am willing to exchange my life for Lord Liu’s life!”
"Oh, you are indeed loyal and righteous, but why should I, Lu, listen to you!" With a wave of his hand, Lu Xuan's Shenji Battalion disappeared, and the cannons had long since turned to ashes.
The sword energy of the flying sword arrived, and Lord Liu was on the verge of death.
"Fellow Daoist, please hold back for now." An old man in a blue Daoist robe arrived. He was at the late Foundation Establishment stage and only managed to barely withstand Lu Xuan's sword energy by using all his magic power.
After rescuing City Lord Liu, the old man in the Taoist robe, knowing that Lu Xuan's magical power was unfathomable, hurriedly came over and cupped his hands in greeting:
"Fellow Daoist's strength is truly admirable. My name is Helian Qi, and I am the mortal patrol envoy of Thousand Swords Valley, responsible for maintaining order in the mortal realm of the Divine Martial Kingdom. I just saw the flying flames here, and it turns out that it was you who made the move. Although this City Lord Liu has committed heinous crimes, our cultivation world of the Nine Kingdoms has long had a rule that we cultivators cannot arbitrarily attack mortals."
"The Nine Kingdoms of Immortal Cultivation?"
Lu Xuan looked at Helian Qi.
Then, a sword aura flew out, crippling City Lord Liu and rendering him unable to be arrogant anymore. After a moment's thought, "Why should I, Lu, listen to others?" Lu Xuan unleashed another sword aura, beheading City Lord Liu.
