Space seemed to stand still.
Qi Junguang was also stunned. He had forgotten whether he should order the attack to continue or order a retreat.
To be honest, he felt that retreating was a safer option.
He was convinced that Jing Zhe was behind those daytime thunderclaps that were stuck in mid-air. He figured that continuing to fire would only lead to the same result as before!
But since we've already started fighting, what would it mean to stop now?
"Shoot! Keep shooting!"
Qi Junguang shouted hysterically.
Upon hearing this, the Thunderclap Army loaded all their Daytime Thunderclaps and began firing at Jing Zhe and even the city walls behind him!
In an instant, lightning streaked across the sky once more!
This time, there are far more daytime thunderbolts than during the first wave of attacks. Let alone one person, if these tens of thousands of daytime thunderbolts were used to attack Jingzhou, I'm afraid not a single person in the city would survive!
But they ended up encountering Jing Zhe!
Just like before, Jing Zhe kept his eyes closed. The daytime thunderbolts, which were originally shooting towards him rapidly, stopped in front of him again, just like the previous wave of daytime thunderbolts.
Qi Junguang was completely numb.
He looked back and found that the Thunderclap Army had almost completely used up all the Daytime Thunderclaps they brought this time—before they came, they thought it was impossible to use so many Daytime Thunderclaps, even half of them would be too many.
But now, all the daytime thunderclaps have been finished, yet they have no way to deal with Jing Zhe. Not only is the Qi army in a state of panic, but all the soldiers of Southern Qi are also afraid.
After a moment's deliberation, Qi Junguang decided to order a retreat!
He was about to turn around and give orders when he discovered that the Southern Qi soldiers seemed to have already sensed the danger. Before he could speak, they had already dropped the Thunder Cannon and scattered in all directions.
Seeing this, Qi Junguang was both shocked and angry!
A bunch of traitors!
But it was too late for him!
At this moment, Jing Zhe, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly opened them and raised his hands. The daytime thunder that had been suspended in mid-air suddenly started moving!
And the direction they were moving was naturally towards the Southern Qi army camp where Qi Junguang was located!
Run!
The quick-witted Southern Qi soldiers noticed something was wrong early on. As they ran backward, they looked back and suddenly saw the strange phenomenon in the sky. They shouted and ran backward, and the other soldiers followed suit, throwing the Southern Qi camp into chaos.
However, how could they possibly outrun the daytime thunder that seemed to fill the sky?
The next moment, a thunderclap descended from the sky in broad daylight, exploding directly among the fleeing Southern Qi soldiers, instantly turning the Southern Qi military camp into a living hell.
"Bang! Bang!! Bang bang bang!"
The explosions of daytime thunderclaps rose and fell, completely drowning out the screams of the Southern Qi soldiers. This was because the Thunderclap Army had fired far too many daytime thunderclaps, which Jing Zhe had managed to intercept. Now, Jing Zhe was returning them all, and they simply couldn't withstand it.
In a short while, all the Southern Qi soldiers were blown up. Jing Zhe felt no pity for these soldiers, because they had previously tried to kill him and Mu Qingren. Moreover, Jing Zhe could imagine that if he had not reached the Great Perfection realm, he would be the one dead now.
Moreover, given Qi Junguang's personality, once he dies, he will never obediently retreat. Instead, he will lead his Thunderous Army to blast open the gates of Jingzhou City. At that time, looting and plundering will be nothing more than a matter of his word. Therefore, they all deserve to die.
A thick plume of smoke rose above the Southern Qi army camp, a mixture of dust kicked up by fleeing horses and soldiers and black smoke from a daytime thunderclap.
It took a full fifteen minutes for the smoke to completely dissipate.
At this moment, cheers erupted from the city wall.
It turns out that, in addition to arranging for the Jinghong Iron Cavalry and the Jingzhou garrison to watch the battle before Jing Zhe went out of the city, he also arranged for the court officials to watch the battle. He wanted them to see that the defeat of Southern Qi was only one aspect, but also that Jing Zhe could fight against thousands of troops by himself. In this way, who would dare to challenge him in the court in the future?
However, Jing Zhe believed that news of his killing of Prince Jin and the Su brothers, Su Lichen and Su Limin, had already spread, and that hotheads like Bai Qingyuan were long dead. In the current court, who would dare to challenge him?
Then came the task of cleaning up the battlefield.
Jing Zhe entered the city and was greeted by cheers from officials and common people. He waved to them and then took Mu Qingren and Wang Yingqiu home, where he comforted them.
Later, through the explanations of the two, Jing Zhe learned that the Qi army had dispatched a massive army of thunderbolts to Jiangling in order to capture all of Jing Zhe's women.
Mu Qingren, Wang Yingqiu, and Qingqiu all know martial arts. If they want to leave, the Thunder Army can't do anything to them. They can also take away Zhu Xinning, Lin Wan'er, Zhou Ziqiong, Yu Xiangrong, and Zhang Xiaoyu, who don't know martial arts. However, the Thunder Army is using the people of Jiangling City as hostages. If they don't obey, the Thunder Army will bombard Jiangling!
After discussion, the eight women decided to travel north with them by boat. However, after the boat had traveled some distance, Abbess Mingji and the disciples of Qingyun Sect flew onto the boat and kidnapped them back.
Because the space on the ship was cramped, the Thunderclap Army could not maneuver effectively. They had also agreed that if they kidnapped everyone and took them back, the Thunderclap Army could launch a counterattack, and the people of Jiangling would still suffer. Therefore, they left Mu Qingren and Wang Yingqiu, who knew martial arts, to return to the capital with the Thunderclap Army to find out what was going on.
After hearing this, Jing Zhe knew that a portion of the Thunderclap Army was still stationed outside Jiangling City. So, after settling Mu Qingren and Wang Yingqiu, he flew to Jiangling without stopping and wiped out that wave of Thunderclap Army.
