Chapter 875 -879: Siege
…
With everything prepared, just before Zhu Minglang departed, a few of his drinking buddies specially opened a jar of aged wine for him.
“There’s still half a jar left. I’ll drink it when I return. This wine is good, why didn’t I see you guys bring it out before?” Zhu Minglang asked.
“Don’t worry, don’t worry, we’ll pour one out for you when the time comes,” Little War God Yang Bing said.
Zhu Minglang raised an eyebrow.
What did that mean?
The word ‘pour,’ did it betray a hint of distrust in him?
After finishing the wine, Zhu Minglang headed straight for White Holy City, where Earth Dragon Saint King Lian Chu had already been waiting for a long time.
To say Lian Chu was waiting was an understatement; deep down, he wished that Zhu Minglang would catch a cold and be unable to come, or suffer some accident on the way and get struck dead by lightning.
“Follow my orders exactly. No mistakes, understand?” Zhu Minglang told Lian Chu.
“Master Zhu, rest assured, although we are charging towards Ghost Gate, I won’t entertain any extraneous thoughts. You are in charge of everything. I am just a gun without a thought, you point, and I’ll fire. Anyway, that’s how it is for me in this lifetime,” Lian Chu said, his words tinged with a pessimism that echoed his inner despair.
“That’s good,” Zhu Minglang wanted just that attitude.
The Divine Sword Army of God Ming Meng was not just for show. If they set up an Oracle Magic Array, Zhu Minglang thought, even within three days, let alone capturing God Ming Meng, he might not even see his people.
Assault the city!
Zhu Minglang was not one to command troops, nor did he need to force himself to do so. He left the leadership to Earth Dragon Saint King Lian Chu.
Lian Chu had staked his life on this.
Between opposing Xuan Ge and attacking Ming Meng, if he had to choose one, in the end, he would unwaveringly choose his faith.
Moreover, the actions of Ming Meng had indeed incited widespread anger; the entire Xuange Divine Country was cursing Ming Meng, all wanting to condemn this Demon God. But in the end, only Master Zhu dared to act.
Lian Chu prepared himself with the mindset that he was seeking blessings for his descendants, transforming his fear and dread of Ming Meng into anger over the insult to his divine deity!!
“God Forbidden Army, heed my command, attack the main gate!” Lian Chu shouted loudly.
Many in the God Forbidden Army held golden chains. They threw the chains towards the city walls, creating one hole after another.
With a strong pull, like grappling hooks, thousands from the God Forbidden Army flew toward the strange city walls and leaped directly into White Holy City.
White Holy City was eerily empty; it was a city that could accommodate fifty thousand people, and if there were any major trade going on, a hundred thousand people moving within it wouldn’t feel crowded.
The majority of the buildings were constructed from white bricks, extremely solid. The shockwave powers of ordinary cultivators simply could not destroy the structures of the divine capital.
The God Forbidden Army was highly agile, using their golden chains to nimbly scale walls and rooftops. A few from the God Forbidden Army could be seen flinging their golden chains towards the tallest tower in White Holy City. After hooking onto the tower, they pulled hard and swung in a pendulum motion directly towards the east side of White Holy City!
Quickly, other members of the God Forbidden Army also started using the same technique, rapidly moving towards the east side of White Holy City in the shortest time possible!
What appeared to be a direct breakthrough was, in reality, a tactical shift.
Moreover, their actions perfectly avoided the blood-brand trap at the main city gate!
“They know there’s an Array trap there!” God Ming Meng, noticing this scene, was so furious that his nostrils flared.
“After all, we’re facing the armies of Xuange God, and they can predict some events,” the frail Think Tank said.
All their arrangements were ineffective against the God Forbidden Army.
Soon, the God Forbidden Army reached the city center, coming face to face with the Divine Sword Army wielding Xuan Shields.
In this situation, God Ming Meng’s Divine Sword Army could only rely on their sheer might against the God Forbidden Army of Xuange, but this was after all the Xuange Country Capital. The God Forbidden Army, blessed by the Divine Temple, fashioned thick armors of light from the temple’s radiance, which were even sturdier than those wielded by the Divine Sword Army!
As the two Divine Armies clashed in the east, another force from the Earth Dragon God Army slammed head-on from the west into the fray.
Still cleverly avoiding the Arrays laid out by God Ming Meng, the thick-skinned Earth Dragons began rampantly destroying white buildings, pavilions, stone walls, and trees, trampling God Ming Meng’s Qimen Dunjia Formation into pieces.
The frail Think Tank’s face was unsightly to the extreme.
It was as if an artistically cultivated garden, his own painstaking effort, had been brutally rootled by a herd of wild boars that broke in at night, leaving no trace of beauty and no one caring about the effort he had invested in it.
The Earth Dragon God Army’s dragons were from the Grand Rain Rainforest’s beholden dragons. Although they could not fly, each was like an indestructible moving mountain of iron. Covered in the radiant armor from Xuan Ge Temple, these terrestrial behemoths were as unstoppable as war machines trampling through battle, and even the Divine Sword Army, comprised of those above the King-Level Realm, struggled to hold them back.
One after another, the Arrays were destroyed, and the Divine Sword Army’s Black Turtle Formation was continually being pressured.
However, just when people thought the situation would evolve into a close-quarters battle with the God Army, suddenly a Colored Fog Flag flew into the sky. After seeing this Colored Fog Flag, all the members of the Xuan Ge Divine Army who had attacked the White Holy City retreated like the tide!
Their retreat was extremely fast, and some of the God Forbidden Army had even tied up their opponents and were about to casually end their lives with a flick of the hand, but they stopped and turned to leave.
The God Forbidden Army possessed flexible grappling hooks, and to facilitate their ability to fly, some of them would deliberately stand on the high places of pavilions and towers and set up bridge cables, to aid those among the God Forbidden Army who were in lower buildings in using their flying hooks.
Once the God Forbidden Army retreated, the Earth Dragon God Army also withdrew completely, and after dismantling those arrangements that disrupted the Qimen Dunjia outside, they fled without looking back.
An attack as huge and sudden as a summer downpour came extremely suddenly, with thunderous roars, and ended just as abruptly and peacefully, without any warning.
Seeing the God Forbidden Army and Earth Dragon God Army retreat, Ming Meng and his Think Tank almost spat out blood.
A Large Killing Array was already hanging in the sky above, and the area above White Holy City had become a blood abyss. Soon, a terrifying blood rain poured down, instantly corroding and melting all living things in the White Holy City.
The blood rain did not corrode buildings, but metal tools and the skin and muscle of living beings were affected, only the Xuan Shields in the hands of the Divine Sword Army could perfectly resist…
Originally, the God Army of Xuan Ge would have paid a heavy price for their attack, but the situation turned into an incredibly awkward one: Ming Meng’s Divine Sword Army, holding turtle shell shields, trembled under the blood rain!
The blood rain was toxic, and inhaling it was no small matter; the white and holy city turned crimson and terrible in an instant, as if it had been slaughtered, muddy and foul-smelling.
“Our God bless us!”
“Our God bless us!”
The God Army of Xuan Ge began to silently chant the names of the deities they believed in after seeing this scene.
Only the Xuan Ge God could be so clairvoyant!
…
Ming Meng felt extremely uncomfortable now. His Divine Sword Army was not weak; otherwise, he wouldn’t dare to set up camp so boldly in the Holy City of Xuange God Country.
But the Divine Skills possessed by Xuan Ge God were maddening.
It was like a group of seven-year-old children playing chess with a grandmaster, with every move they made being completely predicted by the opponent. How could they fight such a battle?
On the first day of the attack, they had almost cleared all the key points of the White Holy City.

At night, Zhu Minglang had the Mountain Saint Lord lead a hundred thousand Divine Soldiers to surround the White Holy City, then had them continuously beat the drums as if they were about to launch a full-scale attack.
However, it was nothing more than beating the advance drums throughout the night. Not a single soldier stepped foot into White Holy City, which agitated Ming Meng and his Think Tank, leaving them restless and irritable!
With the ancient wall that absorbs mana in existence, the human wave tactic was not feasible, and Ming Meng’s Divine Sword Army didn’t fear the human wave tactic either, as their Cultivation Bases were very high.
Similarly, the God Forbidden Army of Xuan Ge also had their means to deal with a hundred thousand troops; these armies exclusive to gods had already transcended the worries of brave and elite soldiers in warfare.
…
The next day, a heavy fog arose.
The Fog Saint’s Divine Skill could control the weather, especially the mists.
The thick fog obscured the entire White Holy City; within five meters it was difficult to discern a man from a woman, and beyond ten meters, one could not tell a human from livestock!
The mist started to disorient Ming Meng’s Divine Sword Army.
The various Oracle Magic Arrays were their capital to dare to camp in the capital of Xuange God Country. After being trampled for most of the first day, they had already lost their sense of security.
Then the next day, the area they were in was engulfed by the dense fog. If they were in their territory, it would still be possible to find some capable people to deal with the strange fog, but the people they brought with them were very limited, and it was impossible to find experts who could counter such Divine Skills.
The fog caused the more than two thousand closely-knit Divine Sword Army to begin dispersing. The fog was incredibly peculiar; even when someone shouted loudly within fifty meters, the sound had difficulty traveling far. The fog seemed to divide the camp into countless small areas. They were unclear whether any enemies had infiltrated.
All day long, Ming Meng’s Divine Sword Army was in turmoil amidst the fog.
When they finally dispelled the fog, they found that at least six hundred of their Divine Sword Army were missing!
Originally, the Divine Sword Army numbered three thousand; Zhu Minglang had captured eight hundred, and now six hundred were lost. The Divine Sword Army stationed in White Holy City suddenly reduced to only one thousand six!
Almost half were gone!!
It was not like the Xuan Ge Divine Army were unscathed; they too had losses in these two confrontations.
But after all, this was the capital of Xuange God Country; they could reinforce their troops immediately.
“Facing the people of Xuan Ge, we are like the blind, no matter how skilled in martial arts, we cannot withstand their tactics.” The frail Think Tank lamented with a bitter face.
Against a deity with the power of prophecy, no amount of cunning strategems are of any use!
