Chapter 2335 - 2291: The Army at the Gates

Chapter 2335: Chapter 2291: The Army at the Gates

The effect it had was definitely heavier than the Crown Prince of Jingkang using his identity to suppress people.

Upon hearing Qin Qingfeng speak, Huang Cheng was clearly hesitant as well.

Because he could clearly feel the pressure emanating from Qin Qingfeng, which was above his own.

As a general of the border city, his own strength and his troops were not small.

But facing so many people on Jingkang’s side, he still had to weigh his options.

"City Lord, what should we do about this? Are we really going to war with the Crown Prince?" The deputy felt immense pressure and didn’t know what to do.

"Nonsense, if he insists on entering the city, what else can we do but fight? Allow him to come in?" Huang Cheng angrily rebuked the deputy beside him.

"True... We can’t risk offending the Python King because of him." The deputy nodded.

In their eyes, the ascension of the Python King to the throne was a certain fact.

Naturally, they did not dare to offend the Python King.

"Your Highness, I am stubborn and don’t know what rebellion is. I only know to follow the imperial decree. I hope Your Highness will not make it difficult for me." Huang Cheng shouted loudly in response.

"Haha, fine, Huang Cheng, since you say that, I understand." Jing Kang was directly infuriated to laughter.

At this moment, Huang Cheng on the city wall was extremely tense.

After all, Jingkang had a hundred thousand troops by his side and many strong cultivators.

What to do if they forcefully attack the city?

Huang Cheng was nervous, but still held onto a sliver of hope.

Thinking that Jingkang’s target was the capital, and would not focus on him here.

But thinking so was a grave mistake.

Jingkang, bringing his large army, naturally came with the determination to take down the border city for certain.

"Your Highness, since he is determined to follow the Python King’s orders, let’s not waste time and quickly capture the border city and announce it to the world." Qin Qingfeng said, looking at Jing Kang.

"Hmm, since they won’t open the gate, we’ll storm the city."

Jing Kang gritted his teeth and made a decision.

With his order, a hundred thousand troops moved.

The powerful cultivators he brought also soared into the sky, standing level with the city walls.

The already very tense atmosphere became even more severe in an instant.

"Raise your spirits, prepare for defense." Huang Cheng saw the scene below the city and was shocked.

He quickly ordered people to organize the defenses.

The city’s protective formation was forcefully activated.

A dome that emitted a faint glow enveloped the entire border city.

"Attack."

The experts in the sky did not act immediately.

They moved only after Jingkang gave the order.

Suddenly, countless attacks bombarded the dome, exploding in clusters.

The effect was earth-shattering.

This border city, as the northern gate of the Dajing Dynasty, naturally had a powerful defense mechanism.

It was not easily breached.

Dozens of early-stage Solidifying Pill and Infant Transformation Realm experts bombarded it in turn but did not break it open.

"Elder Qin, the protective formation of the border city is of very high quality, and there are many experts and troops within the city. Breaking through won’t be easy, Your Highness." Jingkang frowned, lacking confidence.

Even though the border city was far from the capital,

if the border city held out for a day and night, the Python King in the capital would definitely receive the news.

If he didn’t take the border city and faced being besieged by the Python King, it would not be worth it.

However, Qin Qingfeng showed no signs of worry, but rather looked confident.

"Your Highness, such a formation is trivial. Let me break it open for you."

Qin Qingfeng smiled slightly and also soared into the sky.

"Bring me my weapon quickly." On the city wall, Huang Cheng was greatly alarmed to see Qin Qingfeng fly up.

He knew clearly that Qin Qingfeng’s strength was extremely robust.

If he let Qin Qingfeng attack the city gate without concern, the formation breaking was only a matter of time.

Therefore, he couldn’t sit and wait for death; he immediately retrieved his weapon and also took to the sky.

"Your Highness, do you really intend to forcefully attack the border city? This is treason." Huang Cheng said with an unsightly expression.

Qin Qingfeng laughed upon hearing this.

"City Lord Huang, the rebel is you and the Python King."

Saying this, Qin Qingfeng struck the dome with his palm.

Boom.

As Qin Qingfeng struck, it seemed the surrounding air was all affected.

It formed a massive pressure, crashing down towards the walls of the border city.

A single palm moving with ten thousand pounds of force, is this the Transcendent Realm?

Chen Yang stood by Jingkang, watching the scene in the sky closely, astonished.

Huang Cheng was even more so.

He was only at the peak of the Infant Transformation Realm, and facing a Transcendent Realm attack, how could he not panic?

But he knew that panic would not help; he had to withstand.

Once reinforcements from the Python King arrived, everything would be resolved.

"Ah!!"

Huang Cheng roared to muster his courage, then waving his large blade, he executed his blade technique to counter Qin Qingfeng’s attack.

Bang bang bang...

As the City Lord of the border city, Huang Cheng’s combat power was naturally not weak.

After several back-and-forths, he actually completely neutralized the palm strike from Qin Qingfeng.

Qin Qingfeng was slightly surprised to see this, but did not show it.

"City Lord Huang, impressive strength, but why conspire with the Python King? I give you one last chance to switch sides, open the gate, or when the city breaks, it will be your downfall." Qin Qingfeng shook his sleeve, stirring a fierce wind around.

The powerful aura was soul-stirring.

Huang Cheng was under immense pressure.

He knew he couldn’t hold out much longer.

All his hopes were now pinned on the Python King.

He hoped the Python King would quickly receive the message and send reinforcements.

If he held out, he would be a great hero.

With that in mind, Huang Cheng resolved himself.

"Old fool, stop your nonsense. You are instigating the Crown Prince to attack the border city. If His Majesty knows, he will have you torn limb from limb." Huang Cheng said stubbornly.

"Since you are stubborn, you leave me no choice." Qin Qingfeng’s face turned cold, and he unleashed another palm strike.

Buzz.

The power of the Transcendent Realm had already completely surpassed the realm of ordinary cultivators, causing spatial changes with each move.

As Qin Qingfeng struck, the surrounding space trembled.

The immense power rushed at Huang Cheng.

"Ah."

Huang Cheng gritted his teeth and roared, attempting to deflect it once more with his blade technique.

However, this time, Qin Qingfeng did not intend to give him a chance.

Bang bang bang...

Standing in mid-air, Qin Qingfeng unleashed dozens of consecutive palm strikes.

Each carried immense power within, seeming to threaten to destroy the heavens and the earth.

Initially, Huang Cheng could still somewhat cope, waving his blade technique to resist some.

But as Qin Qingfeng’s attacks came too fast, how could he cope?

He turned without a look back, retreating into the protective formation.

The Transcendent Realm and the Nascent Soul differ by one realm.

But the essence between them varies vastly.

Transcendent, as the name suggests.

They have already left the mundane world and stepped onto the path of immortality.

A cultivator of this realm is no longer a mere mortal.
