King of Hundred Victories Saber-Chapter 574 - 192: Thousand Lanterns Illuminate the Night: Changmen Weng City Endgame, the Mastermind Revealed (Part 3)
The voice was like a great bell, echoing over Weng City. Before the words even fell, he employed the supreme lightness technique "Thousands of Miles Without Stopping," his figure shot upwards like a meteor chasing the moon, soaring towards the sky in an instant.
In a flash, his long blade danced in his hand, the cutting energy swept in all directions, and the flickering blade light seemed like stars falling to the mortal world.
In the blink of an eye, three hundred sky lanterns were cleaved mid-air, each strike carrying an unstoppable momentum.
The falling lanterns, surrounded by the piercing blade energy, inadvertently ignited the hidden gunpowder nearby. "Boom! Boom! Boom!" A series of deafening explosions roared, flames rose into the sky, lighting up the entire Chang Gate Weng City like daylight, with scorching heat waves rushing forward. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
Amidst the flames, bricks flew and dust filled the air, and the previously eerie Weng City instantly transformed into a sea of fire.
Under the illumination of the flames, numerous shadows of the Wokou gradually emerged.
Leading them was the Wokou leader, Yamamoto Ichiro, short yet robust, a vicious scar on his face appearing even more horrific under the firelight, holding a Japanese saber with a blade glinting with cold light.
The Wokou Leader, Watanabe Jiro, was tall and strong, like a small mountain, wielding a long sword stained with fresh blood.
Grand Squad Leader Shi Feiyang and the elders of the Heroic Sakura Association showed no fear.
"Long Arm Fist" Liao Pei shouted loudly, his palms danced with a whistling wind, rushing towards a group of Wokou.
His arms moved like agile snakes, each palm strike carried tremendous explosive power, sending the Wokou flying several meters away, crashing to the ground, with blood splattering, staining the cold ground crimson.
"Heaven and Earth Saber" Lie Quan wielded dual blades, the blade light gleaming like a silver whirlwind, where he passed, Wokou fell one after another. His dual blades danced up and down, clashing against the Wokou weapons, sparks flying, severed limbs scattering, and a bloody scent permeating the air.
"Iron Palm" Wu Zhong summoned deep inner strength from the Six Harmonies True Scripture, his palms glowing red, executing the Demon Subduing Divine Palm, striking the chest of a Wokou. The chest caved in instantly, the sound of bones breaking was clear, and he vomited blood as he died, his body falling like a marionette with its strings cut.
"Mandarin Duck Saber" Xiao Lingling moved gracefully, her dual blades working in harmony, like butterflies dancing but with deadly lethality. Her steps were light, weaving through the Wokou effortlessly, in a blink, several Wokou were cut down by her, blood splattering on the spot, with the warm blood flowing on the frost-covered ground, steaming.
"Iron Flute Scholar" Xiang Kun played the iron flute, eerie sound waves spreading out. The sound waves sliced through the air like invisible blades, causing the Wokou to clutch their heads and scream in agony, their features twisted, losing combat ability, and being slain by other heroes seizing the opportunity.
"Divine Archer" Miao Menlong drew his bow and released arrows, shooting them like meteors.
His archery was incredibly precise, each arrow whistling as it shot, striking the Wokou’s throats with precision, the arrows still slightly quivering as the Wokou suffocated and died, their bodies slowly falling, leaving streaks of blood on the ground.
"Plum Blossom Dart" Shan Zhi swung both hands, sending a flurry of plum blossom darts like snowflakes.
The plum blossom darts sparkled with cold light, tracing arcs in the air, as Wokou failed to evade, pierced by the darts, their bodies full of holes, writhing in pain on the ground, uttering horrific cries.
"Barrel" Lu Dechu employed the Rolling Stone Technique, his whole body like a massive rolling stone, crashing into the Wokou group.
Wherever he went, Wokou were knocked and scattered, the sound of bone breaking relentless, some Wokou were directly knocked airborne, slamming heavily into the city wall, their brains splattering.
"Bamboo Pole" Jiang Huotian wielded a long pole, like a green lightning bolt, it thrust towards the Wokou.
The Wokou struck were impaled, with blood flowing down the pole, forming pools on the ground.
Amidst the fierce battle, Yili commanded with composure, leading the Heroic Sakura Association disciples using the "Armor-Breaking Seventeen Form Blade Array," "Tiger Fierce Array," and "Six Harmonies Saber Array" to surround and slaughter the Wokou layer by layer.
Within the saber array, blade lights flickered, the Wokou wailed terribly within, staining the ground with blood.
Suddenly, Yili’s eyes sharpened, noticing a sneaky silhouette.
Upon a focused look, she was instantly furious, yelling: "Zhong Renwang, you damn traitor, so you’re the secret mastermind."
With that, she wielded a long sword, her fury boundless, executing the "Cloud Mist Swordsmanship," stabbing at Zhong Renwang like a ghostly apparition.
Zhong Renwang, hearing the shout, his face suddenly changed. Last time, he ambushed Yili, severely injuring her, and was also slashed by her, losing a hand.
Now, he wore an iron hand, appearing even more ferocious.
Facing Yili’s attack, he did not show weakness, waving his hands, executing the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.
He shouted loudly, executing the move "Proud Dragon Regrets," his left palm quickly drew circles, kicking up a powerful whirlwind, lifting the sand and stones on the ground. His right palm thrust toward Yili, with incomparably firm strength, the palm wind compressing the air, emitting a "buzzing" sound. Yili observed this, her beautiful eyes determined, showing no retreat.
She had healed at Four Sisters Mountain, consumed the essence of beasts, and after marrying Shi Feiyang, absorbed the elite bloodline from Shi Feiyang; her inner power now was exceptionally profound.
Facing the roaring palm wind, her body was light, executing a move "Woodcutter Points the Way," her long sword shimmering with cold light, in Zhong Renwang’s fierce palm wind, like a flash of cold light, fiercely aiming directly at Zhong Renwang’s throat.
The long sword sliced through the air, issuing a "sizzle" sound, its tip almost touching Zhong Renwang’s skin.
