The other person fixed his deadly stare on Su Yu, his eyes emitting hatred and turbulent demonic energy surged all around him. Hatefully, he said, “It really is you, Su Yu!”

“I never thought the spy caught in the city a fortnight ago would turn out to be you, Admiral White Bone!” Su Yu said.

He was one of the Ten Great Admirals of the Demonic Dimension, who once attacked Su Yu alongside the Demonic God of Six Paths, the Book Deity, and Cailin.

In the end, Su Yu had shoved him into the vortex of the Spiritual Pool, from where he fell into the forsaken ancient God Realm.

He had never imagined meeting him here.

Admiral White Bone said, “You’re still as bothersome as you have always been, you saw through us so easily!”

Back when he first heard about the capture of these spies, and how they quickly confessed about Fan Capital being under siege, Su Yu had become suspicious.

Would the God Realm send spies with such a low tolerance under interrogation? Even if they had no choice, they would have implanted a setup in their heads. Once they were captured, they would be killed immediately.

When he thought about it, it seemed as though they had got themselves caught on purpose.

Besides, Su Yu had been vigilant about Nitian Hanxing’s like of unexpected military artifices, hence he had laid an ambush beforehand.

And just as expected, their capture was a big problem!

“However, don’t even think of obtaining a single piece of information from me!” Admiral White Bone shuddered as if he was smashing something hidden deep within him into pieces.

The surface of his body rapidly turned pitch-black, and then from pitch-black, it turned dark purple. Clearly, he had been poisoned.

“Su Yu!” Admiral White Bone grinned cunningly. “You landed all of us in such great misery. Just wait, someone is coming to take your life!”

When he finished, white froth trickled out of the corner of his mouth, and his eyes flipped backward. In a fraction of a second, he was dead.

The rest of the captives also died from poisoning, one after another. The abruptness of the incident was not something they could have imagined.

In the blink of an eye, dead bodies were lying all over the floor.

Su Yu began to think. Who was the person whom Admiral White Bone mentioned was coming to take his life? Nitian Guyun? The Four Great Empires from the God Realm?

Zheng Laodao examined the bodies, and his face soon turned somber and gloomy. “We were careless! They hid the poison in their organs, hence it went unnoticed when we captured them,” he said gloomily.

“D*amn it, we never got them to name the spy who released them from the dungeon!”

Although they were dead, the danger still remained.

As they thought about the perils that could have happened to them, the commanders still felt trepidation lingering in them. If it wasn’t for Su Yu’s judicious foresight, the city would have been conquered by the army from the God Realm by now.

Wang Qingchen couldn’t help but burst into laughter, “Brother Su, you predict things like a god. No matter how well that Nitian Hanxing deploys his army, it is all a piece of cake to you, Brother Su.”

The commanders felt it deeply, they were anticipating that Nitian Hanxing would call off his attack, now that his plan had been thwarted.

Su Yu stepped over the dead bodies without emotion and stood on top of the city walls.

He stared into the eerily silent Black Forest, and said, “Nitian Hanxing has been planning this for a long time, there is no way he had only one strategy. This, is only the beginning, do not let down your guards...”

His words trailed off. From the Black Forest ahead of them, a jet-black beam of light fleeted out.

Within the beam of light were hundreds of thousands of talismans that were flickering unsteadily, all of them charged with a unique power that could curb formations.

Boom!

The beam of light bombarded the formation and they began to tremble all at once, releasing frantic sounds of whimpering.

“What...what is that thing?” Zheng Laodao and the commanders turned pale with fright. A single blow from it had sent the hundreds of formations shaking, never had they heard of such a creepy and bizarre force.

A rumble broke out in the forest, large patches of trees and woods collapsed, and the ground cracked open. A gargantuan pangolin, glinting with a metallic sheen, slowly crawled out.

The surface of the pangolin’s body was carved with innumerable high-grade formations that were revolving relentlessly.

The black barrel of a cannon, which was ten feet in width, peered out from the mouth of the pangolin. It was filled with pitch-dark energy, in preparation for the second attack.

“Ancient civil weapon!” Su Yu’s brows loosened up a little. The metallic pangolin was a non-living entity, wholly dependent on the unique crystals within it to provide energy.

Zheng Laodao was solemn for a long while, the look on his face extremely somber.

“I remember now, this thing appeared during the great war between the Wizard Ancestor and the God Realm. It is a top-grade civil weapon that especially attacks formations, the Formation Destruction Beast.”

“Back then, the idols of many impregnable tribes were destroyed easily by the Formation Destruction Beast.”

“Even the defense of our Sheng Capital was nearly penetrated by the Formation Destruction Beast.”

His soft mumbling made all the people present at the scene turn pale with dread, their faces turning solemn.

Su Yu was right. Nitian Hanxing had come prepared, he had way more than just one plan of conquest up his sleeve.

“However, for many years, the formation of Sheng Capital was continuously being reinforced. It is no longer as tenuous as it used to be. A single Formation Destruction Beast can do us no harm.”

But before he could finish his words, another round of vigorous commotion broke out in the Black Forest. Another patch of trees collapsed, and another Formation Destruction Beast crawled out of the ground.

“The second one!”

Boom! Rumble!

Another patch of black woods collapsed!

The third one!

Boom! Boom!

In quick succession, trees of the western Black Forest collapsed, and one after another, Formation Destruction Beasts crawled out from beneath the ground.

There were more than ten of them!

Clang!

The long knife in Zheng Laodao’s hand fell onto the ground, the sound echoing eerily within the silent walls of the city.

A single beast could shake the city walls, so a dozen of them could...

The great army from the God Realm did not give them any time to contemplate. Once the dozen of Formation Destruction Beasts emerged, massive surges of formation-destroying power were unleashed all at once.

BBBooommm! Rumble!

Several dozen jet-black beams of light bombarded them.

The formation was no longer just vibrating, they were...beginning to crumble!

The three formations in the outermost layer were bombarded into smithereens!

At the same time, the enemy launched the second surge of attack!

Boom!

Three other protective formations were shattered!

If this went on, in less than half an hour, all the formations would be annihilated!

Su Yu said, “Activate the backup formations.”

The three commanders immediately made their way to the pivot of the formations, instilling them with vast amounts of powerful sorcery energy.

The three crumbled formations rapidly recovered upon receiving the replenishment of energy.

Only then did the people on the city walls ease up a little.

“Take turns, continue charging with sorcery energy,” Su Yu ordered.

Zheng Laodao and two others got down to work in shifts, replenishing the pivot with sorcery energy to facilitate the rapid recovery of the formations.

Only then were the formations maintained and prevented from destruction.

However, it would be disadvantageous to Su Yu’s party in the long run. Repairing the formations required a massive amount of sorcery energy, which was only achievable by the sorcery energy of Level Three wizards.

But their Level Three wizards made up the main strength of their army if all of them were deployed to repair the formations... It was apparently a conspiracy.

“General Guo, General Bai!” Su Yu yelled.

The two of them took his hint readily. Carrying four Superior-Extermination Cannons, they leaped into the arena.

Along with Su Yu’s four cannons, there were eight Superior-Extermination Cannons in total.

“Brothers, come with me!” The two Generals led eight soldiers and jumped from the city walls. They made their way through the formations and activated the Superior-Extermination Cannons at the base of the city.

The eight Superior-Extermination Cannons which contained immense power were launched all at once.

However, they weren’t launched at the Formation Destruction Beasts, but...in another direction!

The eight savage, devastating gushes of power were projected into the Black Forest from afar, at a corner that no one would notice.

Nonetheless, when the first gush of power landed in that direction, a light yellow protective shield emerged, fending off the blow!

The people on the city walls were delighted. It implied that the direction in which the cannon was fired was most probably not the location of the ordinary men, but of the commanders!

The protective light shield could fend off the first blow, but what about the second, the third...all the way till the eighth blow?

Boom!

With a dull explosion, the yellow light shield was bombarded into smithereens.

A string of shocked, furious growls erupted from within, and more than ten extraordinarily powerful auras of deities flickered into view.

Upon a closer look, they turned out to be thirteen Level Three Deities with powerful auras.

They huddled firmly around an arrogant-looking youth with a dark complexion and soared into the sky.

“Nitian Hanxing!” All eight commanders recognized him immediately. The arrogant-looking youth was none other than the commander who led the Great Army from the God Realm this time around, Nitian Hanxing!

Without any inflection, Su Yu gave his order indifferently, “Go on, don’t stop.”

How could Guo Cheng and General Bai dare to stop? They continued ordering the soldiers to activate the Superior-Extermination Cannons.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Eight more destructive blows bombarded right at Nitian Hanxing.

“Great commander, retreat!” The thirteen commanders turned grave.

They couldn’t figure out how their location had been discovered with such high accuracy.

As they spoke, three commanders flew out to shield off the blow from the Superior-Extermination Cannons by joining forces.

But how could they be capable of fighting off the massive power of the Superior-Extermination Cannons?

In no time, they were reduced to ashes by the Superior-Extermination Cannons.

Seizing the opportunity, Nitian Hanxing, and the ten remaining commanders, fled from the blast area of the Superior-Extermination Cannons.

With iciness in his eyes, Nitian Hanxing stared into the depths of the sky. There was a faintly discernible eye staring down at life on the land as if seeing right through every being.

Even though they fled, the attacks from the Superior-Extermination Cannons did not cease. Under Su Yu’s precise aim, the cannons kept projecting blows at the important personnel of the great army.

Before long, four or five-level three commanders sustained devastating blows and perished.

The number of ordinary soldiers who had been sacrificed was innumerable.

No matter how subtly they concealed themselves, they couldn’t escape the destructive blows from the eight weapons, resulting in an incalculable number of casualties.

It seemed like the Great Army of the God Realm had no choice but to retreat!

But right at that moment, Su Yu gave his order, “Retreat right now!”

Being deeply engrossed in killing, Guo Cheng and General Bai were slightly surprised. But for fear of Su Yu’s power, they retreated with the soldiers and the eight Superior-Extermination Cannons despite their reluctance.

But the moment they left, a few dozen brutal forces were launched from the depths of the Black Forest.

They were also Superior-Extermination Cannons!

Another patch of woods was razed to the ground, revealing the row of Superior-Extermination Cannons that had been hidden. There were 30 of them altogether!

The pitch-dark muzzles were aimed at the spots where Guo Cheng, General Bai, and the others were standing only moments ago.

The two of them exchanged a glance and shuddered as chills cascaded down their spines.

Fortunately, they had retreated in time, otherwise...along with the cannons, they would have been slaughtered right there!

Nitian Hanxing frowned. Coldly, he remarked, “Su does have some skills right there, he has forced me to unveil my weapons for conquering the city!”

The thirty Superior-Extermination Cannons were originally reserved to be activated the moment the formations were torn down, to kill all the leading men on the city walls, making them rudderless. Thɪs chapter is updated by novelenglish.net . Firᴇ.nᴇt

This tactic was efficient when used on Fan Capital.

But Su Yu was aided by the accurate observation of Heaven’s Eye, forcing Nitian Hanxing to reveal their presence.

“Execute the third plan!” Nitian Hanxing yelled, “Attack the city head-on!”

Clang!

In the Black Forest, the tidy, powerful sound of metal rubbing against metal reverberated through the air.

That was the sound of millions of soldiers clad in black armor getting up from their prone positions on the ground upon receiving the command, all geared up for war!

Whiffs of murderous, brutal scent erupted from the Black Forest.

Countless shadows were moving among the woods of the Black Forest, surging forcefully and rapidly like the currents of a giant river!

Su Yu’s eyes turned somber. “The most difficult part has arrived!”
