Super War God in the City-Chapter 468: Fatal Blow
The next day, early morning, Mount Taihua of the Western Sacred Mountain.
A cool breeze rustled through, accompanied by the chirping of birds and the singing of cicadas. The ancient mountain path was bustling with tourists, among them two backpackers, each with a bulging, enormous pack, stepping on the stone stairs!
Halfway up the mountain, the two walked on a secluded trail, seeing no one around, they suddenly dashed into an overgrown thicket where there was no path.
Their feet moved as if in flight, arriving at a small hill, they immediately opened their backpacks, took out a dazzling array of equipment and components, and started to assemble them.
One of them opened a laptop and connected to the satellite cloud map.
"Eagle, how is it? According to the plan, the location here should be good, right?" the man assembling the equipment whispered in broken Chinese, revealing that they were foreigners.
The man nicknamed Eagle, a Caucasian, adjusted the image on the computer screen, and after a long while, he nodded and said, "Hmm, we're twenty kilometers from the target location. The range of the second generation 'Poison Sting' is thirty kilometers, more than enough!"
"OK, then let's do it, this second-generation modified 'Poison Sting' has a strike range of about one kilometer, with a twenty-kilometer range and an error margin of about ten meters!
Hehe, it's my first time doing this kind of thing deep in Huaxia, and it's against one of Huaxia's most powerful Noble Houses of the Five Peaks. How freaking exciting!" the man said with a chuckle while assembling the equipment.
"Fire Fox, don't get careless. We are in Huaxia territory; we better scoot right after we're done!" Eagle spoke as he put down his laptop and ran to a slightly distant spot to start digging!
All over Mount Taihua, like these two, there were two other teams doing the same thing.
At that moment, in the Murong Family.
"Bai'er, have I been wrong all these years?" Murong Zun sat in the grand hall, sighing deeply.
Having lost his cultivation, he seemed even older, his face deeply wrinkled, his hair much grayer. At this moment, he was just an ordinary old man in the twilight of his life.
"No one is perfect, Father. Don't overthink it!" Murong Bai murmured as he gently opened his mouth to comfort.
An experience brings wisdom, and this episode seemed to have enlightened his father somewhat. Murong Bai felt emotional; if only the old man had realized this sooner, things might not have come to such a pass!
"Cough...Cough, cough..." Murong Zun coughed violently.
"Father!" Murong Bai expressed his concern.
Murong Zun's face turned red as he coughed, waving his hand dismissively, "It's nothing, you always thought I was wrong, too!"
Murong Bai was startled and awkwardly said, "Father, that's not what I meant!"
"No need to explain. Wrong is wrong. If I had listened to your advice sooner, it wouldn't have come to this!
I don't care about my own fate, but it's a pity that the Murong Family missed such a tremendous opportunity because of my mistakes!" Murong Zun sighed deeply.

"Ambition does not depend on age, but a life without planning is as good as a hundred years wasted. I've lived these years all in vain!"
Upon hearing this, Murong Bai felt uneasy, "Father, the past is the past; there are still chances to make amends in the future!"
At these words, Murong Zun's eyes brightened as he replied, "That's true, Fei'er seems to have some fate with that boy. I'm handing the future of the Murong Family to you. From today on, I won't interfere with any family matters!"
Murong Bai was shocked, "Father, the family still needs you to steer..."
Murong Zun waved his hand in dismissal, "Enough, let's not talk anymore. It's time to let go. If I had stepped back earlier, things wouldn't have turned out this way, and the family wouldn't have missed such a great opportunity. I feel guilty towards Susu, I'm at fault!"
With these words, Murong Zun rose from his seat, his body slightly bent, step by step walking towards the door of the hall.
"After today, I will spend the rest of my days in the ancestral temple," said Murong Zun as he reached the doorway, his words fading into a faint echo.
Murong Bai was overwhelmed with mixed emotions, at a loss for words of consolation, and could only sigh.
Twenty kilometers from the Murong family, in a little thicket.
"Hunter Fox, one more minute, starting the countdown now!" Eagle noted the time in his hand and alerted.
"Mmm, a total of twelve 'Poison Stings', enjoy to the fullest!" Hunter Fox licked his lips and chuckled.
In front of him were two launch bases put together, along with two golden "Poison Stings" nearly two feet long each. These were actually small missiles, terrifyingly powerful!
There were four in total, two of which had already been loaded into the bases, ready to be launched.
"Five... four... three..." Eagle watched the time and began to count down.
"Swoosh~ Swoosh~"
As he counted down to one, suddenly two streaks of light soared into the sky, shooting towards their target. At the same time, from two other locations, two more streaks of light shot out.
After an interval of ten seconds, the second wave of "Poison Stings" was launched.
Two waves in total, six missiles.
"Quick, bury the stuff!" After launching the last two "Poison Stings," Eagle hastily grabbed the launch base and ran towards a previously dug pit.
They threw all the incriminating tools into the pit. The two of them quickly buried it and, after a cursory cleanup, vanished from the scene like smoke.
Murong Zun had just stepped outside the hall when he saw several streaks of light shooting towards him from three different directions in the sky.
"What is this?" Murong Zun wondered. He had lived in Youlin for most of his life and had never seen such things.
The incoming "Poison Stings" continually enlarged in his eyes; now without his Cultivation, he obviously could not counter them.
However, he did not take them too seriously, as it seemed that the missiles were slightly off target and had not aimed at him directly!
"Hidden Weapons?" Murong Zun muttered to himself, his expression disdainful.
"Boom~ Boom~ Boom~~~"
Just as Murong Zun had this thought, one of the "Poison Stings" landed a few meters in front of him, exploding with a deafening roar.
The disciples of the Murong Family had not even realized what was happening before they were thrown into chaos by the successive explosions, causing screams and howls!
Murong Bai inside the hall instantly turned pale, "Father!"
He immediately burst into action, about to rush outside, but then a loud crash occurred as the hall collapsed, burying him under the debris.
After twelve consecutive loud bangs, the Murong Family estate lay in ruins, the people tossed and turned in disarray.
Covered in dust and dirt, Murong Bai rushed out, seeing the scene before him and almost losing his composure completely.
At that moment, several figures hurried over from not far away, including Gu Jie, Murong Qi, Murong Fei, and a host of clan Elders and others.
Some of them had been in the closed cultivation in the secret chamber and had not been affected much, but they were similarly stunned by the scene before them!
"What has happened here?" Gu Jie's face was pale and slightly ruffled, her mind a bit dazed.
Murong Bai, seeing that the important people around him were all right, immediately relaxed and quickly ordered the Elders to count the numbers of people and to disperse those who were unharmed, fearing another deadly attack.
After the count, nearly a third of the ordinary disciples had been injured or killed, and Murong Bai felt as if his heart were bleeding. These disciples were the foundation of the family!
Suddenly, he remembered his father, Murong Zun, and immediately looked around, calling out loudly, "Father! Father!"
"Grandfather?" Murong Qi and the others also came to their senses.
But, no matter how much they called, there was no response. He had been turned to ashes!
Murong Bai's face turned ashen; he simply couldn't understand who they could have offended to deserve such retaliation, using actual military weapons against the Murong Family!
His first thought was Ling Fan, but then he dismissed the idea as improbable.
Immediately, he split up his forces to investigate, but after a long hassle, they found nothing until a disciple finally discovered the launch bases for the "Poison Stings" in a dense forest.
Murong Bai looked at the objects before him, his expression growing grimmer. He spoke softly, "I'll make a trip out of the mountains later. This weapon comes from the Secular World, and the higher-ups in Huaxia should understand this!"
