Perfect World Chapter 1555

Chapter 1555 - Dignity Through Slaughter

Hong!

In the depths of the great desert, the iron blood war banner swept about, as if northern winds engulfed this place. Large amounts of the foreign army fell, ma.s.sacred until b.l.o.o.d.y mist was everywhere, the banner sweeping through the endless army.

Only, it was quite a pity. When it approached s.h.i.+ Hao, immortal light surged. The Heaven and Earth Pouch appeared, rus.h.i.+ng at the iron blood war banner.

It was clear that the other side had long made their preparations. There were supreme beings who didn’t take action yet, always remaining vigilant in that direction.

“Kill!” 

Inside Imperial Pa.s.s, on the city wall, a group of leaders roared out, this really boosting morale. Now that an unmatched being declared his position, many people’s blood began to boil, surging with fighting spirit.

Within chi chi sounds, figures descended from the city wall one after another, appearing in front of the city, directly getting on that ancient altar.

“Please open up the city, let us go!” When a few leaders stood on the altar, asking for the city gates to be opened, the atmosphere here immediately changed, outstanding heroes all shaken.

This was especially the case when an unmatched being leapt down from the city wall, also standing in front of the altar, the atmosphere was immediately raised to the peak like an explosion.

“Leave the city, slaughter our way out, support Dao Brother Meng Tianzheng!”

When an unmatched being made this decision, being the first to rush out, the troops in the back were all shaken, fired up, shouts of killing shaking the skies. They also rushed out.

 A group of people slaughtered their way out of Imperial Pa.s.s, these being people from the pro-war faction, all of them unyielding and fierce. When Jin Taijun wanted to hand over Huang before, they already had a wave of anger stifled within them, now, they finally had a chance to vent it.

On the city wall, there were some creatures who didn’t move, for example, Jin Family, Du Family, Pixiu Clan, and others. They all overlooked the scene below.

“You all are acting randomly!” Jin Taijun spoke, her face falling ashen. The sword wound on her body had long healed, her gaze extremely cold.

However, before her words completely finished, another unmatched being spoke up, saying, “Brother Meng has already slaughtered his way out so heroically, a single person fighting a great battle in front of Imperial Pa.s.s, we should provide support!”

With a chi sound, he also disappeared from the city wall, standing on the altar, instantly leaving the pa.s.s to provide support.

It was because a supreme being great battle was being carried out in the great desert, which meant that only people of his level could offer any help. The other leaders and others could only fight against the great army.

On the city wall, Jin Taijun’s expression became even uglier, becoming more and more cold. “By offering support like this, what can it change?”

“Perhaps it just might do something!” Qi Hong’s master spoke. He was known as Elder Qing Mu, an extremely aged supreme being. He had previously ridden the Five Spirits War Chariot under the sky, dominating an era.

However, his age now really was too great, already stepping into his later years, losing his past flouris.h.i.+ng blood energy, a bit inferior to when he was in his golden years.

Jin Taijun held a new walking stick in her hands, slamming it into the ground. A loud dong sounded. “What can leaving the city accomplish, would they seize back Huang? You all have to realize that we have just exchanged for a rare period of peace, the other side establis.h.i.+ng a blood oath, ensuring five hundred years of peace, while we only need to wait for powerful reinforcements. They are destroying this, committing crimes!”

Her expression was moved, carrying anger, gaze incomparably cold as she overlooked the cultivators who rushed out of the city.

Behind her, Jin Family’s people all agreed, expressing that these people were too reckless, that they shouldn’t have left the city at all. In reality, they also wanted to berate Great Elder Meng Tianzheng, but just didn’t dare.

It was because even Jin Taijun suffered greatly, not his match, so who dared speak randomly?

“Meng Tianzheng is hot-headed and impulsive, just now, you all should have stopped him!” Jin Taijun said, her face ashen. When she thought about their brief exchange just now, it made her feel great shame.

She looked towards Elder Qing Mu, and then at Immortal w.a.n.g, especially unsatisfied with the latter for not taking action.

With Immortal w.a.n.g’s mysterious and unfathomable divine abilities, he could control Meng Tianzheng. Jin Taijun felt like if the two of them joined hands, they could suppress Meng Tianzheng.

“Brother Meng is not a rude and impetuous person, he has already taken too much into consideration. It was because he had no choice that he did this…” Elder Qing Mu said with a sigh.

“Dao Brother Qing Mu, what are you saying?” Jin Taijun’s expression was a bit cold, saying, “It is clear that Meng Tianzheng lacks a cool-headed heart, after seeing Huang leave, he rushed out without any consideration for the consequences, obviously losing sense of what is appropriate, damaging the greater situation! This isn’t how a supreme being ought to act!”

This was a harsh evaluation. When Du Family, Pixiu Clan, and Jin Family’s people heard this, their minds were greatly shaken. Was Jin Taijun going to provoke Meng Tianzheng? Perhaps he wouldn’t be able to come back, this was what some were suspecting!

At the same time, there were some pro-war faction’s men who weren’t able to leave the pa.s.s in time. When they heard Jin Taijun’s words, their expressions changed greatly. Was she placing guilt on Meng Tianzheng?

If Meng Tianzheng couldn't come back, dying outside, at that time, he would definitely have some criminal charges added to his name.

When they looked towards Jin Taijun, their hearts all carried resentment, but they couldn’t act out, because even just the opening and closing of a supreme being’s eyes would make them feel a great pressure.

“These words are wrong!” Qing Mu Supreme Being shook his head, and then with a sigh, said, “Dao Brother Meng would never let his emotions affect his decisions, he has deeper motives, this is something I already understand.”

“Dao Brother Qing Mu, what are you saying?” Jin Taijun’s expression wasn’t that happy.

“Brother Meng is doing his best to remedy a great danger to Imperial Pa.s.s.” Daoist Qing Mu said with a sigh.

“Are you trying to frighten us with words? We have just agreed on the conditions with the other side, they already established a blood oath, that Imperial Pa.s.s would obtain a short period of peace, yet he, Meng Tianzheng… is actually ruining this! What contribution is there in this?” Jin Taijun interrogated.

“Both of us know that even if the undying kings revive this time, attack Heaven Abyss, they might not necessarily be able to cross over.” Qing Mu Supreme Being said.

“You are too optimistic, they long had sixty to seventy percent certainty in crossing over.” Jin Taijun said with an overcast voice.

“Even if they have the strength to cross over, the two of us both understand that they might not necessarily set the final resolution, because doing things like that would force them to pay a tremendous price. This is something they aren’t willing to face, or else they would have long staked it all a few years ago.” Qing Mu Supreme Being refuted.

He believed that if undying kings went all out, they could cross over, but the price they had to pay themselves would be extremely great.

Meanwhile, the Nine Heavens Ten Earths were full of uncertainty. If the creatures who forced them back in the past suddenly appeared, then it would be terrible for the foreign experts.

That was why the other side’s powerful individuals wished to cross over without having to pay the price.

After the acc.u.mulation of endless time, they became more and more confident, if they were given another period of time, perhaps they could safely cross Heaven Abyss without needing to pay such a great price.

“Are you sure that they definitely wouldn’t have crossed over? The situation this time is clearly extremely complicated!” Jin Taijun argued back.

“Indeed, the situation is a bit complicated, for example, the rotten wooden chest, as well as the things the undying beings derived themselves, it all definitely gave them more reason to act.” Qing Mu Supreme Being nodded.

“That is why whether or not they will come over is not something we have the privilege to gamble or guess at at all. The safest choice is to agree to their demands, establish the blood oath.” Jin Taijun said.

She emphasized once more that for the sake of Imperial Pa.s.s, everything she did was correct, while Meng Tianzheng was too hot-headed, ruining the greater situation.

“Brother Meng isn’t that type of person, this is for neutralizing danger…” Elder Qing Mu shook his head, saying, “Even if you temporarily exchanged for five hundred years of peace, however, what about the will of the people? Handing out Huang like this will make too many people’s hearts go cold, how many of the cultivators who have truly gone out to fight on the front lines would feel resentment? At the same time, it will lower overall morale, because we are selling out our own people in exchange for a brief period of peace. This will make many people’s fighting spirit crumble, feel like we are far inferior to the other side, lack fighting spirit. If this happens, then we would have lost the will of the people.

Jin Taijun’s face became cold, saying, “According to what you said, Meng Tianzheng slaughtering his way out like this, losing his cool, bringing back Huang is correct? This completely ruins the greater situation!”

“You are wrong. Brother Meng has already foresaw before he left the pa.s.s that he most likely wouldn’t be able to save Huang. He did not go out to fight out of selfish reasons.” Elder Qing Mu sighed with regret.

He stared at the battle situation below, also preparing to leave at any time to provide aid.

“Since he knew that he couldn’t rescue him, he is still acting recklessly, this makes him seem even more impulsive!” Jin Taijun criticized. However, she s.h.i.+vered inwardly, because she long realized something.

“Knowing that he won’t succeed, but he still charges forward, going all out, what is the reason for this? Don’t tell me you do not know?” Elder Qing Mu’s expression also became cold. He looked towards Jin Taijun, and then said, “Brother Meng is making up for the consequences, to seize back the fighting spirit of Imperial Pa.s.s’ various clans, redeem the will of the people, not let morale fall!”

“Correct, Meng Tianzheng wishes to obtain dignity through slaughter, establish his divine might for everyone to see, give them all hope, rouse our fighting spirits.” At this time, Immortal w.a.n.g who had always remained silent also surprisingly spoke up.

“I am going to join the battle, all of you, guard the pa.s.s!” After Elder Qing Mu said this, he disappeared from this place as well, preparing to leave the city, join the battle.

“Go then, I have come to defend the pa.s.s as well.” Right at this time, another elder appeared on the city wall, his entire body covered in mud, as if he had been covered in dust, not moved in tens of thousands of years.

This was the oldest supreme being in Imperial Pa.s.s. Today, he moved, coming here.

Hong!

In the great desert, shouts of war shocked the heavens.

Meng Tianzheng held the sword core in hand, weaving about in the heavens above and earth below, fighting with the Emperor Clan supreme being, attacking other supreme beings from time to time as well.

Right now, three unmatched beings appeared from the city, coming to offer help.

Meanwhile, those leaders stayed far away from the supreme beings, slaughtering their way out from the sides, fighting with the foreign great army.

“Kill…”

Shouts of war shook the heavens.

Pu!

Meng Tianzheng’s heroicness was unmatched. Even when facing a supreme being from an Emperor Clan, he was still calm. Moreover, right at this time, he slashed out, cutting off half of another supreme being’s body, producing a sky-covering rain of blood.

This shocked everyone. One had to understand that he was fighting against an immeasurable Emperor Clan supreme being, at the same time pa.s.sively defending against six great supreme beings’ attacks, yet he could still have such achievements. It really was horrifying.

Even though three unmatched beings rushed out from Imperial Pa.s.s, quickly taking on some of the pressure, he was still facing them with his power alone!

“All of you back up! When my Emperor Clan goes out to fight, we never team up to defeat an individual. My clan is undefeated!” The Emperor Clan supreme being shouted out.

He had the other supreme beings leave, not allowed to interfere with his fight with Meng Tianzheng.

“Senior Meng is unmatched!” A few people shouted from Imperial Pa.s.s’ city walls, feeling a wave of heat erupting within them.

In the past, Emperor Clans were indeed unmatched, no one able to match them. However today, Meng Tianzheng was actually powerful to this extent, stirring everyone up.

Pu!

The divine sword split the heavens. A streak of terrifying sword radiance flew out, at the final crucial juncture, it even removed the head of that wounded supreme being. At this moment, heaven and earth seemed to have become quiet.

Hou!

That supreme being roared in fury. He didn’t die, but he was seriously injured. His damaged body flew out, carrying a rain of blood.

The expression of the Emperor Clan supreme being was ice-cold. He didn’t want others to interfere, yet in the end, when those people came to help, a supreme being almost lost his life.

Qiang!

The sword core shook, releasing dazzling light. Meng Tianzheng flew over, speed too fast. Time fragments fluttered about his surroundings. He rushed towards the supreme being who had his head removed.

“You dare?!” The others all rushed in to intercept him.

Clear light surrounded Meng Tianzheng’s entire body, as if endless gates were opened within him. Even though he didn’t completely succeed with the body as the seed, he still possessed exceptional divine strength. Moreover, after operating the Imperishable Scripture, a hong sounded, a palm hacking over, releasing a tyrannical attack through the two supreme beings in the way!

Pu!

It was really hard to imagine, under those supreme beings’ eyes of disbelief, that supreme being who had his head removed exploded, instantly trigguring heaven’s tears and other irregular scenes.

“Dignity seized through slaughter, Senior Meng is unmatched!” Many people shouted loudly on Imperial Pa.s.s’ city wall.

“All of you, back up! I will deal with him alone!” The Emperor Clan supreme being said with a cold voice, carrying endless coldness and killing intent. Normally, the presence of Emperor Clans was grand and imposing, they were always full of confidence.

“In all these years, Imperial Pa.s.s has lacked an Emperor Clan head to offer as sacrifice to the dead. Yours will have to suffice!” Meng Tianzheng spoke, raising the sword core.
