Chapter 1009 The War in Guo City

Because of the chaos, the transportation of the entire Northern Region had been cut off. The space gates between many states had either been destroyed by the war or fallen into the hands of scattered forces. They couldn’t be used. If the warriors wanted to cross the big regions, they could only use the most primitive method.

Ding Hao and the others set off from the shore of Mirror Lake and soon got out of Snow Province.

They had to pass through the Ice Province to go to the Immortal Phoenix Palace.

This was the second time that Ding Hao came to Ice Province. The first time was when he went to Sword Province alone to deal with the Heaven-Splitting Swordsmanship Sect. He met Hua Huai’an, Gu Shaochu, Gu Xing’er, and others here. It was also the first group of friends that Ding Hao had made after leaving Snow Province.

Nowadays, times had changed. When Ding Hao looked down at the land of Ice Province from high in the sky, he still couldn’t help sighing with emotion in his heart.

The situation in Ice Province was worse than that in Snow Province. It was chaotic everywhere.

“I don’t know how Gu Shaochu, Hua Tuo, and the others are doing now.” Ding Hao recalled his old friends. Gu Xing’er had joined the Extermination Swordsmanship Sect, and Hua Mojian, the son of Hua Huai’an, had also joined this super sect of the Northern Region. Their power was extraordinary and they had a relationship with the sect. It might not be much of a problem for them to protect Carmel Caravan and Changfeng Escort Agency.

Both Hua Huai’an and Gu Shaochu made a name for themselves because of their relationships with Ding Hao. Later, when their forces grew stronger, they left Ice Province and went to Earth Province, which was closer to Sword Province and more important in geographical location. They chose the biggest inhabited city in Earth Province, Guo City, as their base.

Ding Hao decided to pay a visit to them when he passed by.

After an hour, Ding Hao and the rest finally entered the territory of Earth Province.

Less than 30 minutes later, an earth-shattering roar came from below, and the air was filled with a stunning energy fluctuation and the smell of smoke.

Ding Hao and the others looked up and saw five huge black warships quietly floating in the distant sky. Obviously, they were mercenaries from the Land of Divine Grace. The five huge warships covered half of the sky like dark clouds. The Puissant Power Cannons on the bows of the ships were shooting out beams of light, mercilessly bombarding the giant city below.

“This is the location of Guo City.” Ding Hao was shocked.

He wondered if the mercenaries of the Land of Divine Grace were attacking Guo City.

“Let’s speed up and take a look there.” With Ding Hao’s order, the five masters of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect and the five Vast Ocean physical cultivators turned into flowing lights and rushed forward.

...

Boom!

With a violent explosion, the protective cover of the tactical deployment of Guo City trembled violently, and there appeared obvious cracks on it.

Above the city gate, there were the strongest fighters gathered from the entire giant city.

“What should we do?” The Crouching Tiger Sect Master looked pale. “The defense formation can’t hold on for too long. Once it is broken, the whole city will be over.”

The golden-armored City Governor’s face was terribly darkened.

It was a very powerful Land of Divine Grace mercenary army that was attacking the city. There were nearly 10,000 people in total with five Saint level warships, and some of them were horrible masters. At the beginning of the battle, a Peak-stage Saint level elder from the Extermination Swordsmanship Sect, who was stationed in Guo City, launched his attack. He wanted to defeat the mercenaries as soon as possible, but unfortunately, he was killed in less than 30 minutes.

Extermination Swordsmanship Sect once sent a Great Grandmaster to reinforce the guardian inscription tactical deployment of Guo City. If it weren’t for the relationship between Camel Caravan and Changfeng Escort Agency, perhaps the city would have been filled with dead bodies after the massacre of the devilish mercenaries by now.

But right then it seemed that the tactical deployment had reached its limit.

“We can only fight to the death,” Hua Huai’an said with solemnity on his face.

As the leader of the largest merchant group within a radius of tens of thousands of miles, Hua Huai’an was now a Martial King Realm expert. He was rich and had a large number of masters under his command. He was one of the giants in the whole Earth Province, who was not inferior to the City Lords and the Crouching Tiger Sect Master. Over the years, he had been able to have everything going his way. But at this time, he was put in a quandary.

“Mr. Gu, the news has been sent out for three days. According to our estimation, the reinforcements of Extermination Swordsmanship Sect and Blue Cloud Sect should be here soon, right?” The City Lord asked tentatively.

Gu Shaochu frowned and said with a bitter smile, “It’s hard to say if the news has actually spread out. Even if it did, it would take a few days to get here from Sword Province without passing through the Domain Gate... It’s not likely that they’ll be here in time. We can only rely on ourselves now.”

The faces of the ones on top of the city wall darkened.

“Let’s get ready for war. There’s no way we can escape, so we might as well go all in and use our last bit of strength to deliver a vicious blow to these bastards. Let’s kill as many of them as possible,” Gu Shaochu said through gritted teeth.

Like Hua Huai’an, the strength of Gu Shaochu’s Changfeng Escort Agency was now soaring, which was comparable to that of the old-school sects like the Crouching Tiger Sect. Gu Shaochu was also a rising star, rising from an unknown escort agency master to one of the giants in the city. His every word and action had great influence. When he said that, everyone knew that he meant it.

The Divine Grace Demon Mercenary had a Saint level profound energy warship, which allowed them to travel across the entire Earth Province within a short time and possess a terrifying ability to hunt down their enemies. Today, no one in the city would be able to escape.

It was sad that those innocent civilians would suffer in the war.

The Divine Grace Demon Mercenary would never let go of any city that dared to resist their attacks. Once the city was breached, there would be a tragic massacre. They would commit all kinds of crimes such as murder and arson, and they would especially target some sects and forces to the extent of wiping them out completely.

“Let’s go all out. We must kill as many of them as we can. We can never give up. Our blood relatives are standing behind us!” The head of the Crouching Tiger Sect was a gray-haired old man. He was as brave and fierce as a lion and extremely domineering.

The City Lord’s Mansion, the Crouching Tiger Sect, the Camel Caravan, and the Changfeng Escort Agency could be regarded as the strongest force in the whole Earth Province and even within several provinces nearby. Once Guo City was broken through, the forces within a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles would suffer a catastrophe.

“We’re martial artists, and it’s our fate that we’ll die protecting the Human Clan. What’s there to be afraid of? Someone will avenge us.” Hua Huai’an laughed and cheered up the morale.

He was not afraid of death because his son, Hua Mojian, had performed well in the Extermination Swordsmanship Sect. He was now a core disciple who was trained and regarded as a rare martial arts genius. Sooner or later, he would become a real peerless master and avenge his father.

As long as their descendants could live on, the Human Clan in the Northern Region would never perish.

Gu Shaochu also laughed out loud in a heroic manner.

His sister, Gu Xing’er, was not in the city, so he had nothing to worry about. He could give it his all.

Boom!

The last energy light column of the Puissant Power Cannons was bombarded down. The defense formation of Guo City instantly exploded like glass fragments. As the remaining energy light column struck down, in an instant, a large number of city walls collapsed while blood and flesh splashed everywhere.

Immediately, everyone in the city felt overwhelmed by extreme fear.

Countless people burst into tears in panic.

Despair enveloped the entire Guo City.

Although most of the people in the siege had long thought of the possibility of tragic fate, when this moment actually came, they still felt terrified involuntarily.

“Kill them!”

“Get them!”

“Let’s go all out for our family!”

For a time, countless figures and flowing lights flashed, fighting hard as if there was no way for them to turn back. They flew up from the top of the city walls and rushed toward the Divine Grace Demon Mercenary outside the city.

“Haha, this layer of that lame-ass shell is finally broken. Let’s rush in, kill all the men, and strip their women!”

“We’ll taste a female martial artist again!”

“They have wasted us four whole days. We must teach these damned natives a lesson so that no one will dare to resist the Black-blood Dragon Mercenary Troop ever again!”

The mercenaries, who were grinning with wild joy, launched their assault.

Their eyes flashed with a crazy and cruel light. It was as if brutal perverts were seeing a naked goddess. They couldn’t wait to crazily vent their beastly desires.

But at this moment, an incredible change occurred.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

A thunderous explosion suddenly sounded as five beams of flame fell from the sky, like stars falling from the Ninth Heaven. With a long flame at their ends, they heavily hit the place where the Divine Grace mercenaries were the most gathered.

This sudden change had exceeded everyone’s expectations.

The five beams of flame landed on the ground, and in an instant, the ground within a radius of hundreds of miles trembled violently like an earthquake. The incredible blast wave spread in all directions, the dust exploded like ripples, and the ground was directly smashed into dark and deep cracks.

“Ah...”

“What kind of monster is this?”

“Help...”

Countless Divine Grace mercenaries were smashed by the blast wave in an instant, and a large number of people were struck to spit out blood from their mouths and noses. Because they were too feeble to fight against the strike, they fell out without any resistance, and many of their bones were broken.

Just a moment ago, they were so excited that they felt as if they were bound to win. At this moment, they were like chickens in a storm. They shivered with fear and were all stunned. They couldn’t understand what was going on.

Right then, a dragon-like roar came out from the landing point of the five flaming falling stars.

The sound struck the Divine Grace mercenaries within a hundred meters, and they instantly fainted.

Then, like terrible behemoths that came from ancient times, the five peak-stage Saint level physical cultivators from Ocean Forest jumped up with roars and rushed into the crowd of devilish Divine Grace mercenaries.

The bloody massacre began.

At the same time...

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Rays of bright Sword Light fell from the sky.

The Sword Light was like a drawing brush of the gods. With the earth as the canvas, it instantly opened up huge bottomless cracks on the ground around Guo City. The cracks surrounded the whole city and protected it, like a moat formed in an instant.

“What is this...” The Crouching Tiger Sect Master was shocked.

“What happened?” The City Lord finally noticed the sudden change in the Divine Grace Demon Mercenary camp.

Everyone stopped abruptly and looked over in shock.

In front of them, the Divine Grace Demon Mercenary, with hideous grins on their faces, were rushing over madly.
