The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2552: Chapter 2552: Killed with a Single Strike

Thirty-one Thunder Warriors unleashed thirty-one dazzling streams of light, pressing down on Tiger Roar City with overwhelming force.

The Thunder Warriors’ attack contained thunder attribute dao technique, with immense destructive power.

Right after the Thunder Warriors launched their attack, Zhan Huilan and others immediately realized that things were dire. They were wrong, gravely mistaken. They thought the group of Hongmeng City cultivators who arrived in Tiger Roar City yesterday were not strong, but now, the opponent’s attack stirred an uncontrollable chill from the depths of their hearts.

How powerful is the joint attack of thirty-one Thunder Warriors?

Purely in terms of power, even if Jing Yan went all out, his power would still be inferior to the combined attack of the thirty-one Thunder Warriors.

Perhaps it could be said that in this world, there is absolutely no cultivator at the Immortal Venerate Realm who can withstand the combined attack of these thirty-one Thunder Warriors head-on.

Tiger Roar City’s formation was indeed good, but the power of the combined attack led by the high-level Thunder Warriors was incredibly terrifying.

"Boom!"

A massive sound erupted as the thirty-one beams of light hit the formation’s halo.

The halo glowed, then shattered. The entire Tiger Roar City shook. The surface of buildings within the city flashed with formation light, apparently, the formations arranged inside and outside these buildings were automatically activated at that moment. Some unprotected buildings shook violently, even collapsing and turning into ruins.

After the first attack by the thirty-one Thunder Warriors, the second attack followed closely.

Tiger Roar City’s formation, after withstanding several consecutive combined attacks by the Thunder Warriors, was shaking and tottering. By the sixth combined attack from the Thunder Warriors, Tiger Roar City’s layers of formations were completely broken.

The Thunder Warriors rushed into the city from above without hesitation.

Xu Yiming and others followed in the footsteps of the Thunder Warriors.

"Capture the ringleader first to capture the bandits." Even before Tiger Roar City’s formation was breached, Xu Yiming had his sights set on City Lord Zhan Huilan. So, once the Thunder Warriors entered Tiger Roar City, the high-level Thunder Warriors were the first to attack City Lord Zhan Huilan.

"No!"

"Quick, stop them! Stop them, Tiger Roar City cannot fall!" Zhan Huilan roared hysterically, commanding Tiger Roar City’s guards in an attempt to fend off the Thunder Warriors and the army led by Weng Mohan and others.

"Those aren’t cultivators, they... they are puppets! Damn it, they are Thunder Warriors from the Thunder Domain!" During the high-level Thunder Warriors’ charge towards Zhan Huilan, he finally recognized that the Thunder Warriors weren’t human cultivators at all.

His eyes glared, his eyeballs turning red.

When the Thunder Domain was once powerful, the Thunder Warriors had a huge reputation. These puppets possessed extremely formidable combat power. After the decline of the Thunder Domain and the flattening of Thunder City, the Thunder Warriors gradually faded from public view. However, many cultivators had actually seen Thunder Warriors before.

The high-level Thunder Warrior let out a loud sound, swinging his weapon at Zhan Huilan.

With one slash, Zhan Huilan initially sought to block it. When he realized he couldn’t withstand it, he turned to flee. Unfortunately, he couldn’t dodge the slash. When the blade’s light disappeared, Zhan Huilan’s body was cleaved in two. The power contained within the Thunder Warrior’s attack also took away Zhan Huilan’s life force. Tiger Roar City Lord Zhan Huilan was killed by a single slash from a Thunder Warrior.

Most of the people in the Tiger Roar City Lord’s Mansion had lost the will to resist. They began to scatter and flee.

Even their City Lord Zhan Huilan, a strong cultivator at the Immortal Venerable Peak Realm, was killed by the terrifying Thunder Warrior with one slash. What else could the remaining people do to resist? If they didn’t escape now, they would be awaiting death.

"Hunt them down! Anyone belonging to the Eight Gods Pill Sect, kill without mercy!" Xu Yiming sent a command to the people of Hongmeng City through divine thought.

Weng Mohan and other cultivators dispersed to hunt down the people from the Tiger Roar City Lord’s Mansion.

One by one, the cultivators who once held high positions and enjoyed admiration continuously died at the hands of the Hongmeng City cultivators and Thunder Warriors. Screams occasionally echoed on the city streets.

Xu Yiming personally led the high-level Thunder Warriors to the Eight God Pill Tower. The Eight God Pill Tower in Tiger Roar City was the regional pill tower in the entire Thunder Domain for the Eight Gods Pill Sect. This pill tower stored a large quantity of elixirs. Other cities’ Eight God Pill Towers in the Thunder Domain all obtained their supplies from Tiger Roar City’s Eight God Pill Tower. One can imagine how much elixir was stored in the vault of Tiger Roar City’s Eight God Pill Tower.

When Xu Yiming arrived at the pill tower, the guard force of the Eight God Pill Tower was already very weak. Even without the high-level Thunder Warrior’s intervention, Xu Yiming could easily take down this regional Eight God Pill Tower alone.

After the City Lord’s Mansion and the Eight God Pill Tower were sequentially controlled, the subsequent actions became straightforward. All assets related to the Eight Gods Pill Sect within the city were temporarily sealed. For the assets held by other forces, Hongmeng City promised maintained ownership as before.

With the formidable power displayed by the Thunder Warriors and the commitments made by Hongmeng City, the resistance within Tiger Roar City was, in essence, scattered and minimal.

In approximately three hours, the entire city virtually fell into the hands of Hongmeng City.

"Terrifying!"

"Yes, truly terrifying! Are those really Thunder Warriors? How did Hongmeng City suddenly come to possess so many Thunder Warriors? Heavens! Now, Hongmeng City already has some semblance of Thunder City."

"How little time has it been? They’ve become so powerful! Before those Thunder Warriors broke through Tiger Roar City, I thought this war would end in the Eight Gods Pill Sect’s victory. Yet, Tiger Roar City couldn’t even hold out for half a day."

"I understand now why City Lord Jing Yan of Hongmeng City seemed so composed, not caring in the slightest. City Lord Jing Yan indeed had complete confidence! With this level of attack power, not to mention Tiger Roar City, even the three-star city Dingyun City might not last long."

The cultivators within Tiger Roar City, after their initial shock and disbelief, accepted this reality.

They already realized that the strength of Hongmeng City did not merely come from City Lord Jing Yan. Even without City Lord Jing Yan, Hongmeng City remained incredibly powerful.

Their awe for Hongmeng City seeped deeper into their bones.

...

"City Lord!"

"Tiger Roar City has been successfully captured, and we are currently tallying Tiger Roar City’s assets and accounts. The follow-up work is extensive and may take several days to straighten out." Inside the Tiger Roar City Lord’s Mansion, Xu Yiming sent a message to City Lord Jing Yan, reporting the situation of Tiger Roar City.

"Hm, well done! Yiming, you’ve worked hard this time!" Jing Yan replied.

"City Lord, there’s no hardship at all! It was effortless!" Xu Yiming smiled.
