Chapter 346 With me, Yuwen Chengdu, alone is enough

"Have you heard? Several cities, including Wuxi City, have been breached by bandits. The bandits have gone on a killing spree, looting everywhere, and many people have died."

"No way! Bandits never dare to attack cities. Aren't they afraid of being wiped out by a hundred cities?"

"Afraid? Most of the experts from the Hundred Cities have gone to the Great Zhou. It is said that the city lords and experts of Wuxi City and other cities have died in the Great Zhou. What are the bandits afraid of being wiped out?"

"Yes! It is said that even the lord of a top city like Giant Stone City has died. Now, various bandits are taking advantage of the situation to unite and plunder hundreds of cities. The Great Wilderness is probably going to be in chaos."

……

With cities like Wuxi City falling to the bandits of Black Wind Stronghold, the news spread like wildfire throughout the Great Wilderness.

Shocking news spread throughout the hundreds of cities of the Great Wilderness.

Whether it was the death of Shi Yan, the city lord of Giant Stone City, a top expert in the Great Wilderness, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, or the fall of cities like Wuxi City to bandits, each piece of news was enough to shake the hundreds of cities in the Great Wilderness.

In the Hundred Cities of the Great Wilderness, some city lords who had not yet gone to the Great Zhou Dynasty were already preparing to lead their troops there.

However, upon hearing this news, the city lords who had not yet gone to the Great Zhou immediately abandoned their plans and remained to guard their cities.

The bandits' joint attack on the hundred cities of the Great Wilderness is no joke.

If they leave with skilled fighters, it could be dangerous if bandits attack.

The benefits for the Great Zhou are considerable, but the city lords of the Hundred Cities of the Great Wilderness are unwilling to lose their homeland for the sake of the Great Zhou's meager gains.

Furthermore, the city lords of cities like Ten Thousand Beasts City have already gone to the cities of Great Zhou, and have immediately sent people to inform their city lords to return and provide reinforcements.

The entire Great Wilderness was suddenly thrown into turmoil.

……

Xiliang.

Xijing City.

The city lord of Ten Thousand Beasts City sat in the main seat, his face full of frowns.

Originally, the city lord of Ten Thousand Beasts City thought that Great Zhou was just a small secret realm that had just merged into the Great Wilderness. With the strength of the Hundred Cities of the Great Wilderness, it would not be a problem for them to take over this piece of fat meat, Great Zhou.

But who would have thought that the strength of the Great Zhou was not as weak as they had imagined.

In just over ten days, the forces of seven cities have been wiped out by the Great Zhou.

The forces that were destroyed included those from two major cities, Stone City and Beast City, which were of similar strength.

While the forces of the remaining five destroyed cities were not as strong as those of a major city like Beast City, they were still quite powerful and ranked among the top in strength among the hundred cities.

These are not the most troublesome things for the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts City.

What troubles the city lord of Ten Thousand Beasts City the most is that he just received news from Ten Thousand Beasts City that the bandits of the Great Wilderness have joined forces to attack various cities in the Great Wilderness while they, the city lords, brought their experts to the Great Zhou.

Several cities have already fallen to the bandits.

Most of the experts from the City of Ten Thousand Beasts were brought to the Great Zhou by the City Lord of the City of Ten Thousand Beasts.

If the bandits were to attack Beast City at this time, the experts left behind in Beast City might not be able to stop them.

The City Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts City looked up at the crowd below and said, “Gentlemen, you all know the news. Taking advantage of the fact that our experts from various cities came to the Great Zhou, the bandits have joined forces to attack the Hundred Cities of the Great Wilderness.”

"So far, several cities have been captured by the bandits."

"What do you all think we should do next?"

The city lord of Ten Thousand Beasts City looked down at the dozen or so people seated below.

These people are all the leaders of various factions in the City of Ten Thousand Beasts.

The fact that Beast City was able to become a top-tier city among the hundreds of cities in the Great Wilderness is inseparable from the support of these people.

Upon hearing the words of the City Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts, the dozen or so people present exchanged glances but remained silent.

In recent days, these dozen or so people have captured several cities of the Great Zhou Dynasty with their formidable strength.

It's fair to say they've already tasted the benefits.

At this point, no one would be willing to give up the easy prey they had in their grasp and return to the City of Ten Thousand Beasts.

I'm afraid even the city lord of Ten Thousand Beasts City wouldn't be willing to accept this.

However, the City of Ten Thousand Beasts faces the threat of bandits. Once the City of Ten Thousand Beasts is captured by the bandits, their stronghold will be destroyed.

Therefore, faced with such a dilemma, no one hesitated and didn't know how to start the conversation.

"Lord of the City, Beast City is our foundation, and we cannot afford any mishaps."

"Otherwise, our losses will be enormous."

One of them spoke.

indeed.

Beast City is their stronghold; all their resources are located there.

If the City of Ten Thousand Beasts falls and is plundered by bandits, their losses will be far more than just the death of a few people and the loss of some money.

"We can't just leave the Great Zhou and return to the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, abandoning all the cities we've captured!"

You see, this is a piece of meat that's already in your mouth, and nobody wants to just spit it out.

"The bandits have not yet attacked my Beast City. With the strength left behind in my Beast City, even if the bandits attack, they will not be able to take over my Beast City in a short time."

"Therefore, as long as we destroy the Great Zhou as soon as possible, there will be no problem in returning to the Beast City to defend it before the bandits capture it."

"It sounds simple, but it's not easy to destroy the Great Zhou as soon as possible. In the past few days, the forces of seven cities have been destroyed by the Great Zhou, including a large city like Giant Stone City, which is similar to our Beast City."

"The Great Zhou was able to wipe out the forces of Giant Stone City, so they can only deal with the people of our Beast City. If they want to wipe out the Great Zhou, the forces of our Beast City probably can't do it."

"If our forces from Ten Thousand Beasts City can't do it, aren't there forces from other cities?"

"As long as we unite the forces of other cities, destroying the Great Zhou should not be a problem."

Listening to the conversation of the dozen or so people, the city lord of Ten Thousand Beasts City nodded and said, "That's what I think too. We can't just give up the cities we've captured from the Great Zhou."

"Whether it's to avoid being defeated one by one by the Great Zhou, or to return to the aid of Ten Thousand Beasts City as soon as possible, we have no choice but to unite with the forces of the other Hundred Cities to deal with the Great Zhou."

"I have already sent people to contact the people of the other hundred cities. I hope that you will all obey my orders from now on. We must destroy the Great Zhou first, and then we can talk about other things."

These people have been acting independently these days, and have captured several cities in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Although this was all agreed upon beforehand, and everyone agreed not to interfere with each other.

But now the situation has changed. If they continue to act independently, they will definitely be taken advantage of by the experts of the Great Zhou.

Therefore, the city lord of Ten Thousand Beasts City summoned these people in order to integrate the forces of Ten Thousand Beasts City, so that they would temporarily put aside their individual preparations and act in unison under orders.

No sooner had the City Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts finished speaking than a terrifying aura suddenly descended.

"who?"

The city lord of Ten Thousand Beasts City's expression changed, and his figure instantly disappeared from the main seat.

Now the entire Xijing City is considered the territory of his Beast City, and the city lord of Beast City will not allow anyone to act recklessly in Xijing City.

As the City Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts City disappeared, the dozen or so figures seated below also vanished from their seats.

The dozen or so figures present were all leaders of various forces in the City of Ten Thousand Beasts. They were not weak, and their reactions were naturally not much worse than those of the City Lord of the City of Ten Thousand Beasts.

in a blink.

The figures of the City Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts City and his entourage appeared one after another above the government office.

A figure clad in armor descended from the sky, his powerful aura overwhelming the entire city of Xijing.

This is……

Yuwen Chengdu?

The city lord of Ten Thousand Beasts City's pupils constricted slightly upon seeing the figure descending from the sky. After the Great Zhou Dynasty annihilated the experts of seven cities, including Giant Stone City, Yuwen Chengdu, a top expert of the Great Zhou, had already spread his reputation among the experts of the Hundred Cities of the Great Wilderness.

Although the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts City had never met Yuwen Chengdu, in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, besides Yuwen Chengdu, who was at the peak of Yin and Yang, the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts City could not think of anyone else who could have such strength that made the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts City feel apprehensive.

That's right.

The figure that descended from the sky was none other than Yuwen Chengdu.

As Yuwen Chengdu descended from the sky, those of low strength in the City of Ten Thousand Beasts coughed up blood under his terrifying pressure.

If the aura emanating from the City Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts City hadn't erupted in time, those weaklings in Ten Thousand Beasts City would likely have suffered far more than just spitting out blood under Yuwen Chengdu's oppressive presence.

Yuwen Chengdu landed above the government office, facing off against the City Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts City and his entourage.

Yuwen Chengdu looked at the city lord of Ten Thousand Beasts City; "You attacked my Great Zhou without cause, killed my Great Zhou officials, and occupied my Great Zhou cities. Tell me, how do you want to die?"

Yuwen Chengdu made no attempt to conceal his killing intent, looking at the City Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts City and his companions as if they were already dead.

In fact, in Yuwen Chengdu's eyes, the city lord of Ten Thousand Beasts City and the others were already considered dead.

Upon hearing Yuwen Chengdu's words, the City Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts City raised an eyebrow; "Are you the only one here?"

The city lord of Ten Thousand Beasts City glanced in the direction Yuwen Chengdu had come from.

Although the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts City acknowledged that Yuwen Chengdu was very strong, it would be overestimating his own abilities to think that Yuwen Chengdu alone could deal with them.

"With me, Yuwen Chengdu, alone, I am more than enough to deal with you ants."

Yuwen Chengdu naturally understood the meaning behind the words of the City Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts.

To dare underestimate Yuwen Chengdu is truly courting death.

Without saying a word, Yuwen Chengdu flung out the Phoenix Winged Gilded Halberd in his hand.

The expressions of the City Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts City hardened, and they also attacked at the same time.

"bump……"

After a collision.

The figures of the City Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts City and his companions retreated several feet before regaining their footing.

"The Realm of Life and Death?"

"Are you the King of Life and Death?"

The city lord of Ten Thousand Beasts City stared at Yuwen Chengdu in horror.

They, a dozen or so people, were actually defeated by Yuwen Chengdu in a single move.

Upon hearing Yuwen Chengdu's move, the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts City sensed a terrifying will.

That is the will to live and die belonging to the realm of life and death.

It is also the will of a king.

The Realm of Life and Death, also known as the Realm of Kings, is a realm above the Realm of Yin and Yang.

If Yuwen Chengdu were a master of life and death, their fate today would be a foregone conclusion.

Before the King of Life and Death, they had absolutely no power to resist.

Before the City Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts City and the others could recover from their shock, Yuwen Chengdu's Phoenix Wing Golden Halberd charged at them once again.

"not good."

At this moment, the expressions of the City Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts and the others changed drastically. They felt an irresistible will prevailing over them, making them unable to muster even the slightest thought of resistance.

"Go all out."

The Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts City unleashed his full Yin-Yang Peak power and also used his trump card.

It is formed by the convergence of streams of air.

It spun around, enveloping the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts City and his companions like a ball of light.

"boom……"

A streak of blue light flashed past, carrying a powerful aura, and collided directly with the sphere of light.

The sphere of light protecting the City Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts City and his companions developed a few cracks, but it blocked Yuwen Chengdu's Phoenix Wing Golden Halberd.

"die."

A powerful will to live or die surged into the sky.

Yuwen Chengdu's long, flowing hair danced in the wind.

Irresistible wills pierced through the Phoenix Winged Golden Halberd and rushed straight towards the sphere of light.

"Click..."

Under these irreversible forces of will, the sphere of light protecting the City Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts and his companions was torn open with a crack.

Slowly, the cracks began to spread.

In an instant, the sphere of light shattered into pieces, turning into smoke and clouds.

"puff……"

Blood flew.

The Phoenix Winged Golden Halberd pierced the sphere of light covering the City Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts and his companions, and also pierced their lives.

The instant the sphere of light shattered, the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts City and his companions felt their breath catch in their throats before plunging into endless darkness.

And so, the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts City and more than ten leaders of various factions in Ten Thousand Beasts City died under Yuwen Chengdu's Phoenix Wing Golden Halberd.

"You shall also embark on your journey with your city lord!"

Yuwen Cheng did not stop; the Phoenix Winged Golden Halberd in his hand continued to reap the lives of those left behind in Xijing City by the Ten Thousand Beasts City.

After several life-or-death battles during this period, Yuwen Chengdu has reached the threshold of the Life and Death Realm, possessing 30% of the Life and Death Will within him, and is only half a step away from the Life and Death Realm.

But it was this 30% of the will to live and die that doubled Yuwen Chengdu's strength. Even a Yin-Yang peak cultivator like the City Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts City could be easily annihilated by Yuwen Chengdu, like slaughtering a dog.

In just a few minutes, the entire force of the Beast City that remained in Xijing City was wiped out by Yuwen Chengdu.

This is only a part of the forces of the City of Ten Thousand Beasts; the rest of the forces are in the other cities of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

However, Yuwen Chengdu doesn't need to worry about those troops. As for the remaining troops in the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, Lu Bu and Cao Youxiang will handle them.

……

The news of the bandits' joint attack on the Hundred Cities of the Wilderness was not only received by the lord of the City of Ten Thousand Beasts.

The other city lords who entered the Hundred Cities of Great Zhou also received the news.

Many city lords are discussing this matter.

After receiving the news, some city lords of small towns hesitated for a long time before giving up the cities they had occupied in Da Zhou and leading their troops to leave Da Zhou to return to their home base.

Compared to a large city like Beast City, the small city itself is much weaker.

In order to seize the benefits of the Great Zhou, the city lords of the smaller cities in the Hundred Cities brought almost all the experts from their strongholds to the Great Zhou.

It can be said that the strongholds of these small city lords were basically undefended.

If bandits attack, the city will be overrun in an instant.

Therefore, upon receiving news of the bandits' joint attack on the Hundred Cities of the Wilderness, the lords of these small cities immediately and reluctantly abandoned the cities they had occupied in the Great Zhou Dynasty, returning to defend their old strongholds.

Compared to the benefits of occupying the cities of the Great Zhou, the lords of these smaller cities were more concerned about their homelands.
