Chapter 2213: Pei Kuang Is Afraid, Summons Again

Qu Hanming slowly swept his gaze over the many experts who had been persuaded by him, then continued explaining...

"Right now, Qianwang Holy City has practically gathered sixty to seventy percent of the top Sects and Major Sects’ core powerhouses from across the Central Plains."

"Once the cut is made, Pei Kuang will be able to clearly see who are the enemies of Qianwang Holy Tower."

"As long as all the opposition is wiped out, as long as this war can utterly defeat the human-shaped beast and Young Master Sikong, then when Pei Kuang and Qianwang Holy Tower want to sweep across the Central Plains again, nothing will stand in their way."

Listening to Qu Hanming’s explanation, Grandpa Zhang and the others began violently trembling all over again.

This single order to slaughter demon beasts would actually determine the future situation of the world’s wars; as long as the opposition is eliminated and identified, Qianwang Holy Tower can calmly arrange its layout, while Overlord Commerce will be pushed to the brink of annihilation.

One after another, hesitation suddenly rose in their hearts; they were gradually about to change from absolute opponents into the hesitant.

But Qu Hanming again bared his teeth in a sinister grin and said, "So Sikong must win this battle. If he wins, Qianwang’s doom is sealed; if he loses, Overlord Commerce is wiped from the world. There is no path of retreat left."

Gulp...

Everyone swallowed hard. They had no idea whether Sikong Jing could win.

At this moment, Qu Hanming suddenly revealed his trademark eerie and terrifying expression again, and within that expression was a powerful confidence.

"However, this order from Pei Kuang also means that the battle inside the Golden Light Tower—he’s about to lose."

As soon as these words came out, the trembling crowd snapped their heads up.

Then, sudden realization dawned...

That’s right. If Pei Kuang held the advantage in the battle inside the Golden Light Tower, he wouldn’t possibly risk cutting the whole city apart to separate enemies and allies, wouldn’t possibly risk forcibly ordering a city-wide beast slaughter and offend a huge number of top Lei Sect-level forces.

"The Golden Light Tower is about to be broken. Pei Kuang, he’s scared."

"He’s afraid the human-shaped beast will tear apart the Golden Light Tower Formation, and more demon beasts will gather into the human-shaped beast’s Beast Killing Array, so he has to use an absolutely overbearing order to butcher more demon beasts."

These final words from Qu Hanming weren’t just spoken to Grandpa Zhang and the others; he roared them out loud, straight up into the sky.

His voice traveled far across the entire Qianwang Holy City, making countless hesitant people shudder uncontrollably.

Then, someone in the distance loudly responded, "Correct, Pei Kuang will be defeated. All of you who have ever suffered humiliation from Qianwang, are you really going to keep helping tyrants do evil? Are you truly going to slaughter the mounts you love?"

This voice, of course, was sent out by those who were secretly siding with Overlord Commerce...

In the next instant, Qianwang experts bellowed in fury, one after another, "Nonsense. Our Tower Master only wants to guarantee everyone’s lives, to keep you from being massacred by the human-shaped beast. Our Tower Master is acting out of kindness."

More experts who had pledged to Qianwang roared to the heavens, "You simply don’t recognize a good man’s heart. Such people should be executed."

"Those who don’t voluntarily slay their beasts... kill!"

With that final voice brimming with killing intent, some people charged in, following the direction of Qu Hanming’s voice, but because of Qu Hanming’s words just now, many hesitant ones shattered their belief in Pei Kuang’s confidence.

They began to fully resist, bringing their demon beast mounts with them.

The entire Qianwang Holy City became a tangled mess; some experts even started to engage in brutal fighting.

But more people didn’t dare oppose Qianwang, and still chose to hide or flee. They only wanted to break through Qianwang Holy City’s Formation and escape, but because the various powerhouses hadn’t formed a monolithic front, they couldn’t yet break through the terrifying Formation of Qianwang Holy City.

In short, right now... chaos, chaos, chaos!

...

Inside the Qianwang Golden Light Building Group, Pei Kuang received the report about the chaos in the city, and he let out furious roars one after another.

But different from the anger on the surface, his eyes flashed with cold light, and he was extremely calm.

He snorted coldly to himself, "Fine, fine, you dare defy my orders, do you? Then next, all of you will become the entire price I pay to summon the Six-clawed Evil Heart Mixed Beast... hehehehe."

Thinking thus, Pei Kuang coldly lifted his head, staring toward Sikong Jing in demon beast form within the Beast Killing Array opposite him...

Without saying much, he continued to unleash Soldier Killing Array Power.

At the same time, he slowly took out a simple grey stone, spat a mouthful of fresh blood onto it, and then white light blossomed from the stone.

Ten breaths later... humm!

A pillar of light suddenly shot into the sky, rising above the Qianwang Golden Light Tower like a world-shaking giant column.

At this moment, Pei Kuang was summoning the Six-clawed Evil Heart Mixed Beast for the third time in his life.

Such a sight made everyone on the battlefield, and even everyone throughout Qianwang Holy City, freeze in place. Sikong Jing’s Demon Beast Body was stunned on the spot as well, staring fixedly in Pei Kuang’s direction...

He let out a beastly voice and asked, "Pei Kuang, do you really have that much you can afford to pay as the price?"

Pei Kuang’s summoning had been within Sikong Jing’s expectations, but what he hadn’t expected was that Pei Kuang would use it so quickly.

Was it because of the matter of the Evil Charm Sacred Body that he’d been provoked?

Back in the Canglong Small Domain, Sikong Jing had already clearly understood that the price Pei Kuang had to pay for summoning hurt him to the extreme.

Pei Kuang’s smile turned infinitely cold at these words. "Of course I do. The foundations of my Qianwang Holy Tower run deep... and you, a demonized demon beast that hasn’t lost its Spiritual Wisdom, must die. I will never let you live on to keep threatening me."

He certainly wasn’t about to say that he planned to use all of Qianwang’s opponents in the city as the price.

If he said that out loud, those opponents would immediately gather around the human-shaped beast, and then his Qianwang Holy Tower would be utterly finished, because Space Transmission required time, and thus he could only act in advance.

At that answer, a faint unease rose in Sikong Jing’s heart.

But he had absolutely no way of knowing what price Pei Kuang had to pay for the Six-clawed Evil Heart Mixed Beast and the grey-robed middle-aged man who had been summoned alongside it previously. He couldn’t foresee the future and guess Pei Kuang’s goal...

Clenching his Beast Fist tightly, Sikong Jing widened his eyes once more and shouted, "Qianyuan Beast Killing Array, advance to the Eighth Layer for me!"

Awooo...

The demon beasts howled as Sikong Jing spoke, and his Beast Killing Array Power surged wildly... Indeed, through his confrontation with Pei Kuang’s Soldier Killing Array, Sikong Jing’s understanding of the Qianyuan Soldier Killing Map rose to a whole new level.

From the seventh layer he had held before, he broke through and stormed into the Eighth Layer.

Only two layers remained before the Qianyuan Soldier Killing Map reached Perfect mastery, and with each layer of advancement, the Qianyuan Soldier Killing Formation was of course stronger. In terms of deployment and formations, it was naturally more orderly, more complex and ever-changing, and his combat methods were naturally more numerous.

In the next instant, his gaze left Pei Kuang and turned toward the Thousand Prison Tower...

That single glance immediately put Pei Kuang on alert. His voice went icy cold. "You want to lead the humble pawns in the Thousand Prison Tower to break out? You’re dreaming. Now, cut off the direction of the Thousand Prison Tower for me."

Upon hearing this, Sikong Jing thundered in reply, "You cannot stop me!"

Beast Kill and Soldier Kill collided with a deafening boom once again, and both sides practically charged toward the direction of the Thousand Prison Tower.

Pei Kuang, at this point, naturally didn’t need to hide within the summoning’s light pillar. Seeing the Beast Killing Array growing stronger, he needed to destroy the Thousand Prison Tower ahead of time.

And Sikong Jing, naturally, couldn’t let Pei Kuang have his way. Various Beast Killing Formation shapes and so on were blasted out without pause...

While cutting off Pei Kuang’s Soldier Killing Formation, he blocked the crushing pressure of the Golden Light Tower Formation, and at the same time controlled the Beast Killing Array to seize the initiative and move toward the Thousand Prison Tower. The two Soldier Killing Arrays clashed with brutal intensity.

They shook the entire Thousand Prison Tower, as if it were about to topple.

"Kill!"

And beneath the Thousand Prison Tower, Qianwang’s common soldiers smashed through the obstruction of several car-pulling Demon Beasts.

They charged into the Thousand Prison Tower...
