Chapter 170 Establishing a Merit That Lasts Forever
Zhou Yan and Zhou Miao immediately stood guard on either side of Zhou Xianzong.
"Your Highness, it is dangerous outside. Please return to the cabin for shelter."
Zhou Miao spoke up.
"No need. I'd like to see who dares to attack the Zhou Dynasty."
Zhou Xianzong said calmly.
Upon hearing this, the two men's palms sweated, and they dared not slacken their efforts in the slightest.
The princes, princesses, and outstanding talents inside the warehouse also came out one after another.
They were also eager to know which fool was responsible.
"You dare to attack Zhou Dynasty warships? You bandits are truly audacious! If I do not annihilate you today, I will disgrace my name, the God of Slaying Heaven."
Zhan Tian shouted loudly.
"Haha... What Zhou Dynasty or not, I'm here to rob you paper tigers who look imposing but are all show and no substance."
A sinister laugh suddenly echoed from the desert below, making the already scorching air seem to cool down a bit.
"Boss, I see there are quite a few pretty women up there. Grab them all and you can enjoy them."
"These women, who have been pampered since childhood, have such tender skin. It looks so dewy in the sun, it makes my heart itch."
"These women are not only good-looking, but also well-developed. It must be very enjoyable to play with them."
A series of obscene sounds rang out, enraging everyone on the warship.
The princesses, in particular, blushed deeply, wishing they could tear the mouths of these bandits apart.
From childhood to adulthood, they have always been the center of attention, and no one has ever dared to speak to them like that.
"You bunch of good-for-nothings, you really have a death wish."
One of the proud young men shouted angrily.
"Haha... Whoever is the first to charge in, I'll reward him with a woman!"
That eerie sound rang out again.
As soon as the words were spoken, a series of frenzied voices suddenly rang out.
"Charge for the hefty rewards and the promotions!"
"Wuhu...Kill them!"
"Hey girls, I'm here."
In an instant, dozens or even hundreds of bandits wearing yellow turbans and with fierce and menacing faces emerged from beneath the desert.
In the blink of an eye, the number of people surged to over a hundred, and it continues to increase.
Without a doubt, these bandits had been lying in ambush here, intending to ambush passersby.
"court death!"
Zhan Tian roared angrily.
He held a sharp sword, exuding a murderous aura.
"Kill them all! Leave no one alive!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he took the lead and charged out first.
Seeing this, the other assassins followed closely behind, swooping down like stars.
In a short time, the two sides clashed, and a fierce battle broke out instantly.
However, it must be said that the elite warriors that the Zhou Dynasty painstakingly trained were indeed incredibly powerful.
Despite being outnumbered, they were still not at a disadvantage and were incredibly brave.
Zhan Tian, in particular, was like a tiger among sheep, virtually unstoppable.
Anyone who dared to fight him died by his sword.
But these bandits were not to be trifled with. Since they dared to ambush merchants from various countries or even members of the royal family in the Golden Triangle.
They wouldn't dare to do that if they didn't have some strength.
"Hehehe... I didn't expect you to have some strength, enough to make me take action. Fine, since that's the case, I'll make your death even more painful."
The sinister voice from before rang out again.
Immediately afterwards, a one-eyed man dressed in black robes, wielding a jet-black skull, charged out.
He chanted an incantation, threw the skull with both hands, and headed straight for Zhan Tian Sha.
call!
The skull streaked across the sky, emitting wisps of black mist that blotted out the sun like dark clouds.
Within that endless black mist, hundreds and thousands of skulls emerged, each gleaming with an astonishing green light, looking incredibly eerie.
"You dare to use such evil and heretical methods? Today I'll show you that in the face of absolute power, any trickery is futile!"
Zhan Tian's resolute face showed no fear whatsoever.
He held the sword with both hands and suddenly raised it high.
Bang bang bang!
Rays of light burst forth from his body, piercing through heaven and earth.
In an instant, Zhan Tian shone with boundless light, as if a god had descended. His pupils were spitting out sword energy, and the light behind him gathered, transforming into a hundred-meter-tall phantom of a war god, holding a sharp sword.
When Zhan Tian raised his sword and slashed out, the phantom made the same move.
With a single sword strike, the billowing black mist was instantly cleaved apart.
"You are also at the Venerable Realm!"
The bandit leader's voice was no longer as arrogant as before.
Transforming spiritual energy into Dharma forms is precisely the method of the Venerable Realm.
He thought he could easily manipulate this group of people, but he never expected that the other side would also have a Venerable Realm cultivator.
"I have killed more than one Venerable One, and today I will add another one."
The bandit leader laughed cruelly.
He exhaled a breath that landed on the skull.
Instantly, a colossal Dharma image, hundreds of meters tall, also appeared behind him.
It was a skull shrouded in black mist, a truly horrifying sight.
The enormous skull and the phantom of the God of War who cleaved the sky formed a stark contrast, and the two sides instantly engaged in battle, creating sonic booms in the air.
Below, the warriors also joined the fight against the bandits.
Bandits were constantly being killed, but they seemed fearless and continued to charge forward with high morale.
He wanted to break through the defenses of the assassins in one fell swoop, but in the end he died at their hands.
Upon seeing this, Zhou Xianzong couldn't help but marvel.
They really lived up to their reputation as bandits from the Golden Triangle; they weren't given away for nothing.
Especially considering that their leader is a Venerable Realm expert, it's clear how powerful they are.
If these warriors hadn't been carefully trained by the Zhou Dynasty, with countless efforts invested in their development...
If it were anyone else, they would have no chance of resisting such a numerically inferior opponent.
It should be noted that only fifty assassins were brought with them, while the opposing bandit gang numbered in the hundreds.
"Young master, can they defeat them?"
Yingxi came to Zhou Xianzong's side, looked at the battle situation below, and asked with concern.
"Don't worry, it's just a matter of time."
Zhou Xianzong took it all in stride and trusted his loyal followers implicitly.
Hearing this, Yingxi breathed a sigh of relief.
"If they are no match for you, young master, you may leave first, and I will cover your retreat."
Yingxi wasn't being pretentious; she spoke from the bottom of her heart.
"I trust you."
Zhou Xianzong smiled.
Having observed the battle for so long, he had gained a certain understanding of the bandits' overall strength.
To be honest, he didn't really care about anyone except the bandit leader.
With his current cultivation level, it would still be very difficult for him to fight against a Venerable Realm cultivator.
"We have come from afar, intending to enter the ruins and sweep across the land, establishing an everlasting legacy. But now we are blocked by a group of bandits. Is there anyone willing to remove these obstacles?"
Zhou Xianzong asked in a loud voice.
"We are willing to take action to relieve Your Highness's burden and kill all these bandits!"
A brilliant and talented young man shouted.
"Okay, bring the wine."
Zhou Xianzong shouted.
At this moment, a guard brought over a wine jar.
Zhou Xianzong waved his hand, and dozens of wine cups flew out of his spatial ring.
He poured them all up one by one.
"I'm here to cheer you all on."
He waved to the crowd, and the wine glass flew over and landed in front of them.
The group of brilliant talents drank it down, roared, and leaped off the warship with imposing momentum, charging into the battlefield.
A massacre ensued.
