Eternal Life: I Rely on Fortune Points for Improvement-Chapter 286 - 176: Counterattack on Nanfu City, the Second Prince’s Trump Card (Part 2)
I don’t know whether it was due to their inner beliefs or the Court’s methods that instilled fear; when they saw the signal for the counterattack gathering, most people actually ran back.
"That black shadow is a helper found by His Highness."
Han Dong murmured.
Thinking about what Han Tieshan had explained, she seemed to have a realization.
"All troops, listen to my orders. Follow me back to help His Highness reclaim Nanfu City!"
Han Dong immediately ordered.
She was sent by the Court to assist the Second Prince in quelling the Rebel Faction. If Nanfu City couldn’t be reclaimed, the Second Prince would be unable to explain upon return, and she would also be held accountable.
"Kill, kill, kill, kill!"
Following her command, those who followed her marched mightily toward Nanfu City. The previously scattered troops gathered more closely the nearer they got to Nanfu City, and their numbers were gradually increasing, eventually amassing into an army of hundreds of thousands.
"This... is the black shadow going to assist the Second Prince in reclaiming Nanfu City?"
Jiang Feng looked shocked.
He grabbed a soldier running back and inquired to learn that the Cloud-Piercing Arrow signal was the Second Prince’s signal to rally troops for a collective counterattack on Nanfu City.
Thinking about that black shadow rushing towards Nanfu City.
And having stayed behind Sunset Town all along, suddenly emerging, Jiang Feng instinctively linked it to the Second Prince inviting that black shadow out.
"Is the Second Prince also a member of the Divine Sect?"
"And with a rather high status?"
"With strength like Liu Jinhu’s, willing to act as the Second Prince’s lackey, could it be because the Second Prince holds an extraordinary position in the Divine Sect?"
"Didn’t the people of Sunset Town say that the Divine Sect has turned into the Ghost Sect? Damn, how can I believe what the people of Sunset Town say!"
Jiang Feng felt that the situation was very dire.
He had come from afar, intending to seek refuge in the Divine Sect to prevent the Second Prince and Xiao Zhan from being able to do anything to him.
Unexpectedly, the Divine Sect had turned into the Ghost Sect.
Before reaching the doorstep, he was scared away by a black shadow.
Now, he saw that the Second Prince seemed to have invited that black shadow to assist in reclaiming Nanfu City.
"Go see what that thing is?"
Jiang Feng pondered for a moment and headed towards Nanfu City, thinking that since a massive army was launching a counterattack on Nanfu City, he could mix in unnoticed.
In less than an hour.
Nanfu City appeared in Jiang Feng’s sight.
The gates were already breached.
To be precise, several big gaps appeared in the four gates of Nanfu City, as if smashed open by a giant’s punch. In some places, there were even massive holes.
The Court’s troops slipped into Nanfu City through those gaps or large holes.
Inside the city, the flames soared to the sky.
Various sounds were mixed together.
Jiang Feng came to the city tower.
Looking inside the city, he saw an apocalyptic scene.
The central avenue of Nanfu City looked as if it had been struck by a meteor, leaving a trench over a thousand meters long and twenty to thirty meters deep on the ground.
While he was lost in thought.
"Roar!"
A powerful sonic attack came from the depths of the city.
Jiang Feng saw a six-armed giant standing up from a lake, with waves surging like a tsunami in all directions. It roared downwards, and the sound wave was like a strike from seven or eight Celestial Profound Realm powerhouses with full strength. Trees collapsed, houses shattered; wherever it passed, not a blade of grass remained. Countless rebel personnel were shaken to death by its roar or even exploded.
Beside the six-armed giant, a figure bathed in blood, wielding a large saber, killed anyone in sight. Facing several Innate powerhouses, he cut them down like chopping vegetables, with heads rolling with a flick of his wrist.
The blood-red figure was none other than the Second Prince.
He, along with the six-armed giant, killed in a straight line from outside to inside the city. The rebels who died at his hands were countless, and several injured Innate powerhouses had no time to escape, getting decapitated within moments as they were locked onto by his saber technique.
"Our Demon Sect and your Divine Sect have always kept to our own affairs. Why are you helping the Court against us?"
"Didn’t the Divine Sect refrain from involving itself in mortal conflicts? What are you doing?"
"The Divine Sect has already secluded itself, yet you dare to defy the ancestral precepts!"
Several Innate powerhouses from the Demon Sect roared angrily.
Among them, a man in his fifties actually practiced the Ten Directions Ghost Realm like Old Demon Child. Unfortunately, the Chong Ghosts he refined were inferior to Old Demon Child, both in number and scope of the Ghost Realm’s coverage; they weren’t on the same level.
Facing the advancing Second Prince, he retreated continually.
"Wicked ways!"
The six-armed giant spoke with human speech.
One of its arms swung toward that Innate powerhouse from the Demon Sect, who had mastery of the Ten Directions Ghost Realm and cultivation at the True Essence Realm Peak.
"Bang!"
```
The Demon Sect expert exploded on the spot, turning into a mist of blood.
It was clearly just a simple slap, like a normal person casually swinging their hand, yet the Demon Sect expert couldn’t evade it and was brutally slapped to death.
"Gulp!"
Jiang Feng couldn’t help but swallow.
Even though he was a bit far away, he could clearly see the six-armed giant’s methods.
An expert at the peak of the True Essence Realm, mastering the Ten Directions Ghost Realm, was killed by a single slap.
And he had six slaps.
Jiang Feng believed that even with the protection of the Three-legged Body Technique, he wouldn’t be able to escape if the opponent slapped him.
Not even Xiao Zhan could necessarily withstand it.
Such a terrifying existence was aiding the Second Prince in recapturing Nanfu City, indicating how frightening the Second Prince’s status in the Divine Sect was.
Even if the Second Prince wasn’t a disciple of the Divine Sect, the ability to enlist the six-armed giant was an extremely terrifying feat in itself.
Not someone Jiang Feng could easily provoke.
Considering Liu Jinhu died at his hands, if the Second Prince caught him, he wouldn’t stand a chance against the six-armed giant.
"Whoosh!"
Jiang Feng turned and jumped off the city tower, mounting a warhorse whose owner had been shot by the rebel faction, and ran chaotically outside the city.
He headed north.
Not daring to pause for a moment.
"The Six-armed Divine Emperor, he’s really come out."
The one-eyed elder, holding Wu Weiwei captive and heading towards Chishui County, also saw the signal to retake Nanfu City.
At the same time, he immediately noticed the shadow of the six-armed giant pressing towards Nanfu City.
Initially, he thought it was an illusion.
Once he saw clearly, he hid in the woods, too frightened to act rashly.
Unlike Jiang Feng, who dared to run to Nanfu City to investigate.
"Let me go, the Second Prince is a good friend of mine. If he finds out you’ve captured me, he won’t let you off."
"You also saw the six-armed giant helping him reclaim Nanfu City, clearing the Demon Sect traitors. If anything happens to me, be careful he’ll have the six-armed giant tear you to pieces."
Wu Weiwei warned.
When the shadow appeared, heading towards Nanfu City, the one-eyed elder, originally taking her towards Chishui County, turned pale and even ran back north with her.
Only after confirming the six-armed giant was heading towards Nanfu City did he hide in the woods.
Seeing his tense and fearful expression, Wu Weiwei instantly understood the one-eyed elder was surely subdued by the six-armed giant, so she invoked the Second Prince to warn him again.
"Shut up. How could someone like Lord Divine Emperor be commanded by a mere prince? Don’t think you can scare me with him."
The one-eyed elder angrily replied.
"The Second Prince likes me; we were betrothed by the Emperor’s decree. You know better than anyone whether I’m scaring you."
Wu Weiwei scoffed coldly.
Seeing the Second Prince able to invite the six-armed giant to recapture Nanfu City, she felt quite confident, convinced the Second Prince would rescue her at any moment.
"Enough nonsense, move."
The one-eyed elder seized Wu Weiwei’s shoulder, hesitated for a moment, then chose to run north, avoiding Chishui County, seemingly worried about being seen by the six-armed giant.
"Hey, why are you running back? Are you afraid of being discovered?"
Wu Weiwei mocked purposely, trying to provoke the one-eyed elder.
"Slap!"
The one-eyed elder slapped Wu Weiwei unconscious, hoisting her body and, using raw physical strength, wildly dashed through the woods.
He seemed wary of using any cultivation technique, fearing the six-armed giant would detect it.
Jiang Feng rode the horse past the army, once inside the woods, he abandoned the horse and employed the Three-legged Body Technique, running north as fast as he could.
"Hmm?"
"Why is there a disciple outside?"
The six-armed giant, slaughtering in Nanfu City, sensed the aura fluctuations of the Three-legged Body Technique, turning his gaze towards Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng intended to leave faster.
He never expected the six-armed giant could actually perceive the aura fluctuations of the Three-legged Body Technique and thereby lock onto his figure.
"Lord Divine Emperor!"
The Second Prince sensed something amiss and inquired.
"Go bring that person back to me!"
The six-armed giant grasped the Second Prince, cradling him in his palm, then directly hurled him towards the woods outside the city.
