All of this happened in an instant. Even though Qi Junguang had already planned the script, he couldn't control the direction of the plot.
Moreover, he was too far away from his attendants and Jing Zhe, so he couldn't hear how they communicated or what they were saying. He could only see his attendants reaching out their hands to Jing Zhe.
But Jing Zhe was focused on unlocking the door and ignored them.
Qi Junguang grew anxious and shouted again, "Hurry up and bring back the Immortal Transformation Pill! If you don't come back soon, I'll really have the Thunderclap Army open fire!"
This time, Qi Junguang not only reminded his followers, but also threatened them and Jing Zhe, saying that if they angered him, he would use the Thunder Cannon to blast Jing Zhe and his followers to smithereens!
Sure enough, the attendant became even more anxious after hearing this!
When they were selected by Qi Junguang, the two of them were already groaning inwardly, because even a fool could see that this was no easy task—although they would be rewarded if they did it well, it was not so easy to do well.
Didn't this cause a problem?
Qi Junguang is willing to blast his own people at the slightest disagreement. Isn't that just messing with them?
"President Jing, the Immortal Transformation Pill!"
"Hand over the Immortal Transformation Pill now!"
"Yes, if you don't pay up, not only you, but they will all be buried with you!"
"..."
The attendant said, half pleading and half threatening.
Jing Zhe, however, paid no heed, for he had already unlocked Mu Qingren's iron locks in such a short time and was now unlocking Wang Yingqiu's locks.
"Jing Zhe, I'll count to three. If you don't hand over the Immortal Transformation Pill by then, don't blame me for not warning you!"
Qi Junguang watched helplessly as Jing Zhe unlocked the iron locks on Mu Qingren. He knew that if he was given more time, the iron locks on Wang Yingqiu would also be unlocked. At that time, what could he use to threaten Jing Zhe? How could he ask him for the Immortal Transformation Pill?
So they had no choice but to issue an ultimatum. At the same time, with a command, two more teams of Thunderclap Army soldiers ran out from the back of the column, carrying Thunderclap Cannons and jogging all the way to surround Jing Zhe in a semi-circle, with all the Thunderclap Cannons aimed at him.
It is foreseeable that as soon as Qi Junguang gives the order, there will be a scene of tens of thousands of cannons firing at once—if not tens of thousands, then hundreds or thousands of cannons will be fired at once!
"three!"
Qi Junguang shouted the first command, and all the Thunderclap Army pointed their Thunderclap Cannons at Jing Zhe and Mu Qingren.
Jing Zhe remained unmoved, concentrating on unlocking the door.
The two attendants broke out in a cold sweat: What a joke! They were in the same boat as Jing Zhe; if Jing Zhe couldn't escape, neither could they!
As long as Qi Junguang gives the order, the cannon fire can kill Jing Zhe, and it can kill them all!
"President Jing, please, give us the Immortal Transformation Pill and spare our lives!"
"Yes, President Jing, please! Give it to us quickly!"
The two attendants were in tears, almost kneeling before Jing Zhe.
"two!"
Qi Junguang gritted his teeth and shouted again.
Meanwhile, all the soldiers next to the Thunderclap Cannon wielder were in position, each holding a torch, ready to ignite the Thunderclap Cannon at any moment.
Jing Zhe didn't even look up and continued unlocking the door.
This time, the two attendants truly knelt down, too terrified to speak, as if they foresaw their fate...
"Fire!"
With that final shout, Qi Junguang stopped arguing and immediately ordered the cannons to fire. He had realized that Jing Zhe had no intention of giving him the Immortal Transformation Pill, and he was furious at Jing Zhe's treachery.
Since you won't give it to me, then I don't want it anymore! You and your woman can go underground with your Immortal Transformation Pill! Anyway, once I become the king of the world, what kind of immortal medicine can't I find?
At this moment, the last iron lock on Wang Yingqiu's body was also unlocked. Jing Zhe breathed a sigh of relief and said softly, "My two ladies have suffered. Your husband will avenge you right away!"
Mu Qingren and Wang Yingqiu were deeply moved upon hearing this. Even with so many thunderous cannons aimed at them, Jing Zhe didn't even flinch in his attempt to save them. For them, that was enough.
She squeezed Jing Zhe's hand and gently nestled against him.
Instead of hugging them, Jing Zhe stretched his hand behind him and waved towards the city wall of Jingzhou.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. At this moment, the Thunder Cannon had been lit, and a figure suddenly appeared on the city wall of Jingzhou. It was Lu Li, who had just become a Grandmaster!
Lu Li sprinted to Jing Zhe's side and then hugged Mu Qingren and Wang Yingqiu with one arm each.
"Big sister, you take them back, I'll kill them all."
He spoke of it casually, as if the Southern Qi army opposite him were nothing more than some insignificant cat or dog in Jing Zhe's words.
Lu Li didn't say much, because she knew how terrifying Jing Zhe's current level was; it wouldn't be surprising if he could destroy the world. So she just nodded slightly, said "Be careful," and then took off with the two of them in her arms.
Mu Qingren and Wang Yingqiu hadn't eaten for too long, and after walking for so long with the iron chains on their heads, even though they knew martial arts, they couldn't use them much at this point, and could only let Lu Li carry them forward.
Upon seeing this, Qi Junguang was already furious.
"Boom! Bomb them all! Kill them!"
"Bang! Bang bang!! Bang bang bang!!!"
At this moment, the Thunder Cannon had already been fired, and the deafening roar drowned out Qi Junguang's words.
In an instant, hundreds of daytime thunderbolts were fired. Lu Li immediately created a layer of true energy barrier behind her, worried that she might be hit by the thunderbolts while flying away.
However, when she flew to the city wall with Mu Qingren and Wang Yingqiu, there was no fluctuation in the true energy barrier behind her. When she looked back, she found that it was not that there were no thunder cannons hitting them, but that the daytime thunder that should have been aimed at them had all stopped in mid-air.
The same was true of the daytime thunderbolts that shot towards Jing Zhe; it was as if space had been torn apart, leaving everything suspended in mid-air.
"this…"
Qi Junguang was completely stunned. He had never seen such a strange phenomenon before, but he still continued to give the order: "Shoot him! Shoot him now!"
Immediately, the Thunderclap Army launched a second wave of fire at Jing Zhe. With a tremendous roar, the Thunderclap Cannons once again ripped through the sky, and countless thunderbolts flew towards Jing Zhe.
Jing Zhe's reaction was quite carefree. He stood still, even closing his eyes. With a thought, the surrounding air broke free from its original constraints, and the daytime thunderbolts that struck this layer of air seemed to enter another dimension, completely losing their power.
Looking up, you can see countless black lightning bolts hovering in mid-air, each emitting a tiny bit of light.
Both the Southern Qi Thunder Army and Lu Li and others who were watching the battle from the city wall of Jingzhou were stunned by the methods used by Jing Zhe!
This state of perfect perfection is truly terrifying!
