The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2119: The City Falls

Before Zu Ming arrived at Divine Martial City with a large group of powerful figures, Jing Yan was unaware of the situation.

Lord Ying Zhu did not mention this matter to Jing Yan in advance, nor did Ying Zuo say anything.

Firstly, Jing Yan had been in closed-door cultivation, and secondly, Lord Ying Zhu and others believed that although Jing Yan’s combat power could match some Nether Sky Realm experts, against a giant like the Zu Family, another Nether Sky Realm expert wouldn’t make much difference.

So it was only when Jing Yan sensed the spatial vibrations and came out of his room to see the figures in the sky that he was suddenly shocked.

His figure flickered, traversing through space, arriving near the Yingzhu Lord Mansion.

”Seventh Young Master!” Jing Yan came to Ying Zuo’s side.

Ying Zuo’s face also looked grim, but upon seeing Jing Yan, he still managed to squeeze out a smile.

”Brother Jing Yan.” Ying Zuo nodded to Jing Yan.

”Seventh Young Master, what is going on?” Jing Yan gazed at the sky and asked in a low voice.

”That person is Lord Zu Ming of the Zu Family Territory. He declared war on my Ying Family, accusing my father of killing his adopted son, You Dan. Father didn’t intentionally want to kill You Dan; Lord Zu Ming simply wants to attack the Ying Family, using You Dan’s death as an excuse.” Ying Zuo sighed lightly.

The Second Young Master and others were also nearby. They saw Jing Yan approaching but remained silent, uncertain if they could even preserve their own lives.

Jing Yan frowned tightly.

He recognized Lord Zu Ming, the one who had bid one billion Black Crystal Stones for the Void Eye at the auction organized by Chunyu Bo in Radiant City.

”Could it be...” Jing Yan’s heart skipped a beat.

Lord Zu Ming suddenly declared war and attacked the Ying Family, which made Jing Yan suspect that this had something to do with the Void Eye. Otherwise, it seemed too coincidental. But... how did Lord Zu Ming know the commissioner’s side of the Void Eye was Lord Ying Zhu? Could Chunyu Bo casually leak out the commissioner’s information?

Jing Yan looked up at the sky, his mind racing. He couldn’t yet confirm if Lord Zu Ming’s attack on the Ying Family was due to the Void Eye, but he felt it was quite likely.

”Ying Zhu, I can give you a chance. Lead all your people and surrender voluntarily, obediently shut down the city array. Maybe I won’t massacre the city; most of your people won’t have to die.” Lord Zu Ming spoke with eyes flashing.

The Ying Family Territory, though quite ordinary, had nurtured Divine Martial City with years of care, making the array’s power very strong. If Ying Zhu and others fought to the death, they would indeed cause some trouble for him. If they could be captured without resistance, he could easily take Divine Martial City, thoroughly search the Lord Mansion’s surroundings, or even explore every inch of the city.

”Lord Zu Ming, are you saying we should just wait here to be slaughtered?” Ying Zhu coldly smirked inwardly.

Shut down the city’s defensive array, surrender without resistance?

Isn’t that just like waiting to die?

Lord Zu Ming said he wouldn’t massacre the city, but once the big array closes and the city’s strongest cultivators surrender, wouldn’t everything be up to Lord Zu Ming? If he changes his mind and massacres the city, Divine Martial City would lose all its defenses.

Moreover, judging from Lord Zu Ming’s intentions, there’s absolutely no chance he’d spare himself. Those around him, including his children and guests, probably couldn’t escape Lord Zu Ming’s massacre.

”I have made myself very clear! Ying Zhu, obediently surrender, and I can spare most of the life within the city. If you resist, then Divine Martial City will run with rivers of blood. I can guarantee that no one related to you, Ying Zhu, will leave Divine Martial City alive. Also, I know you have several children not currently in Divine Martial City, but they won’t escape either!” Lord Zu Ming threatened with murderous intent.

”Hahaha...” Ying Zhu laughed loudly.

”Zu Ming, although my Ying Zhu’s power is nothing much, we haven’t fallen to such cowardice. Fine, since you wish to extinguish my Ying Family, go ahead. My Ying Family cannot stop you, but we will ensure you pay a certain price!” Ying Zhu’s eyes became fierce.

”Ignorant fool!”

”Attack, kill!” Lord Zu Ming waved his arm.

”Boom!” The violent divine power waves surged out from the Nether Sky Realm cultivators around Zu Ming.

Above the sky, halos of light formed by spells spread out, dyeing the entire sky above Divine Martial City into a kaleidoscope of colors. The vast power descended with chilling murderous intent.

”Puff puff puff!”

”Crack!”

In an instant, a large number of attacks fell upon the defensive array of Divine Martial City.

Lord Ying Zhu, alongside Mr. Ju Yu and other Nether Sky Realm cultivators, quickly dispersed. These Nether Sky Realm cultivators exerted themselves to the fullest, manipulating the city array to fend off the attacks from above. Some focused on the defensive array, while others controlled the attack array, launching assaults on Zu Ming and his group in the sky.

However, relying on the array of Divine Martial City to fend off Zu Ming and his group was impossible. Ying Zhu and his people were aware of this.

The reality was as expected, and it didn’t last long before a breach appeared in the city’s array. Once the breach formed, the cultivators accompanying Zu Ming fiercely charged into the city.

During the process, the city array only managed to kill a few of Zu Ming’s lower-powered Wanwu Realm practitioners. None of the Nether Sky Realm cultivators around Zu Ming died, only one sustaining minor injuries.

The first to enter the city were those Wanwu Realm cultivators. Once inside, they ran rampant, clashing fiercely with the city’s cultivators. The elite Guard of the Yingzhu Lord Mansion formed a defensive line, striving to intercept the intruders.

However, the number of Wanwu Realm cultivators among the elite Guard was ultimately too few. Even if they put everything on the line, they could only block some of the intruders. More invaders infiltrated, causing significant casualties in a short time.

”Quick, capture those few young ones; they are descendants of Ying Zhu. Lord Zu Ming has ordered to capture those most closely related to Ying Zhu as a priority. If they cannot be captured alive, kill them on the spot!” A Wanwu Realm cultivator spotted the Second Young Master and other offspring of Lord Ying Zhu.

As his voice spread, multiple Wanwu Realm cultivators immediately rushed over.

Mr. Dong, a guest of Sixth Lady, quietly appeared, standing in front of the Sixth Lady. He gently clapped his hands, causing an invisible ripple to spread outward. This ripple instantly reached the foremost intruder, who fell to the ground without any signs of life.

”Sixth Lady, hurry up, we must leave Divine Martial City immediately.” Mr. Dong murmured urgently to Sixth Lady.
