Chapter 688: Take action and pledge your allegiance! (Two in one)
Jialin Sheng, who tossed and turned in bed, was unable to fall asleep. With the moonlight shining into the room, Jialin Sheng slowly got up, put on a thin coat, and walked to the window.
After reconstruction, Pangu City no longer has the grandeur of the past. Originally, Jialin Sheng could overlook the entire holy land through the window in his room and take in everything in the city, but now, looking out from the window, all he sees is a slightly desolate open space.
No one knew what had happened to the soil of the holy land. Ever since Tsugumi Yoshiichirō attacked the holy land, all the places burned by his golden flames had become barren.
It was as if all the nutrients in the soil had been sucked away by an unknown force. No matter what kind of vegetation was transplanted, it would not be able to grow on this land.
The desolate scene seemed to have aroused Jialin Sheng's thoughts. He slowly raised his head and looked at the silent night sky, becoming a little absent-minded.
Suddenly, a star suddenly appeared in the dazzling galaxy in the sky. The golden light suddenly surged in just a few breaths, and its brilliance overwhelmed all the other stars.
Jialin Sheng seemed to notice something strange in the sky. He let out a light exclamation and looked towards the star that suddenly appeared.
Under Jialin Sheng's gaze, the star suddenly fell from the sky and shot straight towards the holy land. This sudden scene also made Jialin Sheng's expression slightly stunned. He whispered in surprise:
"Is it a shooting star?"
While meteors falling in holy lands are extremely rare, they do happen. Weapons crafted from meteoric iron still exist within their holy land. While their strength may not be superior to weapons crafted from refined steel by skilled craftsmen on land, weapons made from this special material are incredibly rare, making them sought after by many Celestial Dragons.
Even Jialinsheng, who had lived for decades, saw a meteor for the first time. Although he was not superstitious, he closed his eyes silently after seeing this meteor in the dead of night, intertwined his fingers and clasped his fists in front of his chest, and actually began to pray to the meteor.
When people are confused, their inner world will become extremely empty. Even someone as powerful and high-ranking as Jialin Sheng will have moments of mental fragility.
It is hard to imagine that such an anti-intellectual thing as praying to a shooting star would happen to someone like Jialin Sheng.
Does Jialin Sheng think praying to a shooting star will have any effect?!
Honestly, Jialin Sheng didn't believe in such things from the bottom of his heart. Because so-called shooting stars were just stones and iron from outer space. How could such things possibly help people realize their wishes?!
But for Jialin Sheng today, making a wish on a shooting star is just his way of comforting himself.
No one knew what wish Jialin Sheng made in his heart, but when he opened his eyes again, his expression became calm.
Although nothing was resolved, perhaps this self-comforting action worked. At this moment, Jialin Sheng felt that his body had become much more relaxed.
Just as Jialinsheng turned around and was about to go back to bed to continue sleeping, he suddenly discovered that the falling speed of the meteor was getting faster and faster, and the golden tail flame left a long light streak in the sky.
What Jialin Sheng was extremely concerned about was that if the meteor continued to fall along its current path, it would hit the newly built Pangu City!
“Oh no!”
"This is such bad luck."
Jialin Sheng muttered, and was about to take out his sword to block the falling meteor, but suddenly his expression froze.
“That’s it.”
As the meteor drew closer to the Holy Land, Jialin Sheng could see it more clearly. If he was not mistaken, the meteor, enveloped in golden flames, looked like a large bird gliding with its wings spread.
There was even a vague human figure under the bird's claws.
A man and a bird were approaching the holy land at an incredible speed.
"No, not a shooting star?!"
“It’s an enemy attack!!!”
Jialinsheng narrowed his eyes slightly, straining his vision to see the truest form of the meteor. How could it be a meteor?!
It was essentially a phoenix and a human!
Although he couldn't see the face of the person in the phoenix's claws, the phoenix wrapped in golden flames shocked Jialin Sheng and he made a guess at the first moment.
The phoenix bird that belonged to Yuichi Tsugumi was definitely Yuichi Tsugumi, there was no doubt about it!
Realizing this, Garin Sheng hurried back to the bed and grabbed his sword. Ever since he had narrowly escaped from Fishman Island, the weapon had never left Garin Sheng's side. Even when he slept, he would put it next to his pillow, so that his heart could be a little more at peace.
When Garin walked back to the window with his weapon, the phoenix was only a thousand meters away from the holy land.
Jialin Sheng didn't even have time to think about it. He just pushed open the window and jumped out.
And the next moment after Jialin Sheng left his room, the phoenix that was originally a thousand meters away had already landed in the holy land and dived directly into Jialin Sheng's room.
"boom--"
The roar was like a bolt from the blue, exploding above the holy land.
Golden flames exploded from the window. In just a moment, the phoenix seemed to have directly penetrated the entire newly built Pangu City and bombarded the red earth continent. The red earth continent began to shake violently, and the tremors could be clearly felt by all the Tianlong people living in the holy land.
“Boom boom boom boom—”
Golden flames poured into the corridor. As Garin Sheng fell to the ground, golden flames exploded from every window on every floor of the tower behind him.
The flames instantly lit up the entire tower. The towering tower finally couldn't bear the weight and began to collapse rapidly under the burning of the golden flames.
In just a blink of an eye, the Tianlong people living in the newly built Pangu City were already surrounded by a sea of fire.
Jialin Sheng tightly grasped the sword in one hand, turned around quickly, and looked at the New Pangu City that had been engulfed in flames, his body trembling slightly.
He wasn't mistaken. He definitely wasn't mistaken.
It was Jiguo Yuanyi Jiguo Yuanyi who attacked their holy land again.
"boom--"
The collapsed Pangu City stirred up clouds of dust, and the blazing golden flames shot straight into the sky, dyeing half of the sky golden.
Jialinsheng was not caught up in this wave of enemy attacks, but at this time he was standing in the open space in front of Pangu City and did not dare to go forward to check.
Walk.
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, the figure of Im suddenly flashed in his mind.
If he leaves here, will Yimu consider him a traitor?!
The lives of the Five Elder Stars depend on Im's thoughts. Jialin Sheng knows that the only result of leaving here is death.
On the contrary, if I stay in the holy land, perhaps there is still a glimmer of hope!
Because of fear, Jialinsheng's body was completely out of control at this moment, and his muscles were extremely stiff. His body instinctively told him that he should leave here quickly, but his clear brain told him that there was no point in leaving here, and he must stay here to help Lord Yim resist foreign enemies.
Only in this way can he, one of the Five Elders, survive.
The fierce conflict between thoughts and physical instincts made Jialin Sheng stand there in a daze.
A strong wind blew by, and the scattered smoke and dust were quickly dispersed.
In the blazing golden flames, two figures slowly walked out from the ruins of Pangu City and slowly approached Jialin Sheng.
The golden flame was controlled by someone. Although the footsteps of the figure in the flame directly opened a flame arch, after a while, Jiguo Yuanyi and Zhan Guo came in front of Jialin Sheng.
"Zhan Zhan Guo?!"
Garin Sheng's gaze only stayed on Tsugikuni Yoriichi for a moment, and then fell on Sengoku.
He had already recognized Tsugumi Yoshiichiro, but what he didn't expect was that Sengoku had also ascended to the holy land with Tsugumi Yoshiichiro.
This was really beyond Garin Sheng's expectations. He had no idea when the Navy Marshal Sengoku had gotten together with Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
Looking at Zhan Guo, whose aura was surging, Jialin Sheng would not think that the other party was still on the side of the Celestial Dragons.
"Fei Jialande."
"You ran away really fast."
Tsugikoku Yoshiichi looked at Garin Sheng for a moment, then turned slightly and looked at Sengoku beside him.
Zhan Guo also noticed the look in Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's eyes, spread his hands helplessly, and then nodded silently. Then, under Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's gaze, he slowly walked towards Garin Sheng in front of him.
“?!”
"Zhan Guo, what do you want to do? You have to think it through!"
"Although you were abducted to the Holy Land by Tsugumi Yuichiro, if you can turn back from your mistakes, no one will hold you responsible."
"But if you keep making the same mistake, no one can save you!"
An ominous premonition emerged in Jialinsheng's heart, and the tone of his voice seemed a little timid at this moment.
However, Zhan Guo was not moved at all by what Jialin Sheng said. He took firm steps and his eyes revealed an unprecedented strong hatred.
"Hold me responsible?!"
"You seem to have not figured out one thing."
"Now, I am the one holding you Celestial Dragons accountable!!!"
Just when Zhan Guo and Jialin Sheng were less than five meters apart, Jialin Sheng, whose body was stiff, finally regained control of his body.
At this critical moment of life and death, his brain became extremely clear. If the next person to attack him was Yoriichi Tsugikuni, Saint Garin might not be able to burst out with such power, but facing the Warring States, Saint Garin still had a strong psychological advantage.
He is a Celestial Dragon. Zhan Guo has served the Celestial Dragons in the navy for decades. From the day Zhan Guo became a vice admiral, he has officially entered the Celestial Dragons' vision. During the period when he stepped up from vice admiral to navy marshal step by step, Zhan Guo did so many things for the Celestial Dragons.
Jialin Sheng has dealt with Zhan Guo many times. In his heart, Zhan Guo is a loyal dog.
Now this loyal dog actually wants to bite its master. The anger in Jialin Sheng's heart is far greater than his fear of Tsugikuni Yoriichi.
The long sword was quickly drawn out from his waist, and Jialin Sheng rushed in front of Zhan Guo with just a thrust. The tip of the rapier was also pointed directly at Zhan Guo's heart and stabbed out suddenly.
The terrifying power also brought about a strong wind, pouring down towards Zhan Guo and Ji Guoyuan.
Ji Guoyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and his observation Haki covered the entire holy land. The actions of Jialin Sheng and Zhan Guo could not be hidden from his perception.
Although Sengoku had already entered a dangerous area, a smile suddenly appeared on Tsugikuni Yoriichi's face.
Yoriichi Tsugikuni, who possesses powerful observation Haki, has already glimpsed a glimpse of the future and is extremely confident in Sengoku.
"Buzz—"
At the moment when Garinsheng's sword was about to pierce Zhan Guo's heart, the terrifying domineering aura surged out from Zhan Guo's body.
At the same time, the power of the Human-Human Fruit was also unleashed, and Warring States' body expanded rapidly. In just a blink of an eye, he had transformed into a giant golden Buddha. The dazzling Buddha light was even brighter than the light emitted by Jiguo Yuanyi's golden flame.
The huge Buddha's palm slammed directly towards Jialin Sheng who was rushing in front of Zhan Guo. Before the Buddha's palm touched Jialin Sheng's body, the terrifying shock wave had already poured onto Jialin Sheng's body, directly knocking Jialin into the ground.
"boom!!!!"
The Buddha's palm slapped down, and a roar accompanied by the vibration of the ground spread out in all directions.
There was no trace of Jialin Sheng in front of Zhan Guo, only a deep pit the size of a palm was left.
"It's not over yet, Marshal Zhan Guo."
Tsugikoku Yoshiichi seemed to have sensed something, glanced at the deep pit in front of Zhan Guo, and warned him.
As soon as Ji Guoyuan finished speaking, a black shadow flew out from the bottom of the pit. Jialinsheng's pajamas had become a little tattered, and there was bright red blood at the corner of his mouth.
From the outside, it seemed that the attack that Garin Sheng took head-on from Zhan Guo only made him look a little embarrassed, but in fact, the powerful shock wave had already injured Garin's internal organs.
If Jialin Sheng did not have a strong recovery ability, Zhan Guo would have been able to make him lose his combat ability with just one blow.
Zhan Guo, who attacked in anger, had already used all his strength, but the blow he put in with all his strength only caused minor injuries to the enemy, which made Zhan Guo feel emotional.
His fighting ability may be slightly stronger than Jialin Sheng's, but strictly speaking, they are both strong men at the same level. Jialin Sheng has a strong recovery ability, and even Zhan Guo can't defeat him.
At this time, Sengoku couldn't help but wonder, what method did Tsugikuni Yoriichi use to kill the Five Elder Stars?
How powerful has Yoriichi Tsugikuni become now that he can kill so many Five Elders at once in the Fishmen.
If it weren't for Tsugikuni Yoriichi, the idea of rebelling against the Celestial Dragons would never have occurred to Sengoku.
You know, back then, there were more than four guys as difficult as Jialin Sheng?!
The strength of the Celestial Dragons is enough to actually crush the Marine Headquarters!
