Chapter 354: Hidden Dragon City's Reaction

The expressions of Holy Spear King and Hidden Dragon King suddenly darkened.

Purgatory King....

His status among the demon race is extremely high, as he himself is a three-step King-Conferred strong one.

Moreover, he is a strong one of the demon emperor's lineage; even though he is a three-step King-Conferred, his status can even rival some four-step King-Conferred of the demon race.

His strength is extraordinarily formidable; it is said that among the demon race's three-step King-Conferred, no one is his match.

He can be said to be a top-tier existence among the demon race's three-step King-Conferred.

Only surpassed by the four-step strong ones.

You should know that in the entire Hidden Dragon City, only Hidden Dragon King is a three-step King-Conferred.

Although Holy Spear King is extraordinarily talented, he has only just entered the King-Conferred realm, amounting to merely a one-step King-Conferred.

And this time, the Myriad Races actually dispatched three King-Conferred strong ones directly!

Besides the Purgatory King, there is also a Tiger Tribe King-Conferred and a Crocodile Tribe King-Conferred.

The strength of these two King-Conferred is also extremely terrifying.

Apart from the Crocodile Tribe King-Conferred being comparable to the Holy Spear Marquis, the Tiger Tribe King-Conferred's strength has reached the two-step King-Conferred level.

One, two, three—all three levels of King-Conferred have appeared.

This is the reason why the expressions of Hidden Dragon King and Holy Spear King sank.

It is indeed because this time's opponent is somewhat terrifying!

The Purgatory King stood arrogantly in the void, behind him followed a dense multitude of the Myriad Races' army.

Besides the King-Conferred strong ones, this invasion of Hidden Dragon City also includes five or six Marquis-level experts.

Transcendent Realm strong ones number over a hundred.

Such a luxurious lineup clearly aims to utterly destroy Hidden Dragon City.

You should know that if the Martial King had not arranged for Holy Spear King to come to Hidden Dragon City, this time Hidden Dragon City would have only Hidden Dragon King holding the fort.

It would likely suffer heavy losses.

Hidden Dragon King's body trembled slightly, and a gleam flashed in his golden eyes.

"Looks like they're preparing to devour my Hidden Dragon City!"

Hidden Dragon King spoke lightly.

The Purgatory King gave a sinister laugh.

"Hidden Dragon! You were merely a prodigy of the Snake Tribe back then; I'm curious why you submit to humanity. If you returned to the Snake Tribe, with your talent you could very well reach the Snake Emperor's level, yet you choose to serve mankind."

Holy Spear King's brow furrowed slightly.

Although he knows Hidden Dragon King is not human, the Purgatory King saying this now feels somewhat like sowing discord.

Hidden Dragon King snorted coldly.

"Back then, my master treated me well; today his robe and bowl remain here—anyone wishing to pass must trample over my corpse!"

The Purgatory King smiled faintly: "Looks like this matter can't be resolved."

Hidden Dragon King, hands behind his back, spoke lightly.

"Cut the nonsense; I also want to know what strength the foremost three-step King-Conferred of the demon race truly possesses!"

Flames of inky black ignited on the Purgatory King's body, like the smoke of purgatory, spreading between heaven and earth.

"As you wish!"

The Purgatory King gave a sinister laugh.

He threw a punch, wrapped in immense heavenly and earthly force, exploding with a boom.

"Hmph!"

Hidden Dragon King snorted coldly.

His whole body instantly rose into the air, a sharp sword blade appearing in his hand; as the blade flashed, streaks of green sword qi crisscrossed outward.

The two instantly clashed in the void, unleashing ultimate attacks that even shattered the void itself.

This is the strength of a King-Conferred strong one!

On the city wall, the Holy Spear Marquis drew a deep breath, his eyes gradually becoming extremely sharp.

He glanced at the Crocodile Tribe and Tiger Tribe King-Conferred, smiling lightly.

"You two, come at me together!"

Holy Spear King let out a long cry, suddenly holding a golden spear with a red tassel fluttering slightly, swaying in the wind.

The Crocodile Tribe King-Conferred gave a cold laugh.

"A mere one-step King-Conferred dares to oppose us two? Seeking death!"

The Tiger Tribe King-Conferred gave a sinister laugh: "Since you seek death, I'll oblige—you're just a novice in the King-Conferred realm; if I don't show you some color, you truly don't know how the word 'death' is written!"

The two laughed, then both took a single step forward, arriving before Holy Spear King and immediately assuming their true forms.

A ferocious crocodile and a fierce white tiger.

Beneath their surging bodies, terrifying energy mingled and erupted in an instant.

Boom—!!!

The terrifying roar erupted instantly above the nine heavens.

On the battlefield.

Marquis-level experts from each tribe laughed one after another.

"Men, break through Hidden Dragon City; the first to enter will be rewarded.... with a Supreme Star Crystal!"

"Kill!"

Instantly, the sky‑shaking battle cries echoed across the battlefield.

In just a moment, a surging smoke-filled air spread across the entire battlefield.

Swish swish swish!!!

Figures appeared one after another on the city walls—turns out they were the Marquises of Qianlong City.

Their faces looked somewhat grim.

"Right now the two Kings cannot intervene, and the two Marquises of Qianlong Academy have gone to participate in the academy's grand competition; they probably won't make it back in time."

"Over there are a full six Marquis-level Experts, while we only have three; we might not be their match."

The three Marquises guarding Qianlong City had grim expressions.

One of the Marquises let out a cold snort, revealing a sharp killing intent.. c

"Let me use the Energy Cannon to blast!"

"Expend all resources to stall their attack; even Marquis-level Experts faced with the Energy Cannon's bombardment can only retreat three li!"

"As long as we wait for Zhao Tianxing and his group to return, we'll have a chance to win this battle!"

The speaker was a middle-aged man with only one eye left, wearing black armor, his whole body emanating a hint of ferocity.

One of the Marquises furrowed his brow and spoke in a low voice.

"The Energy Cannon requires an enormous amount of resources; what do we do if they run out?"

"If they run out, we'll loot! Besides, if Qianlong City itself is gone, what's the point of these resources?"

"Damn it, let me *** his fucking!"

The armored middle-aged man let out a loud roar.

The other two, helpless, could only follow his orders and issued command after command.

Meanwhile, within Qianlong Academy.

Yang He, Wang Shi, Song Xing and others stood in the high air of Qianlong Academy, gathering all the academy's disciples and heading toward the city walls.

The Library Pavilion.

Xuan Lao quietly swept the floor, that already clean floor that couldn't get any cleaner, being swept back and forth by Xuan Lao.

While sweeping, he muttered to himself.

"I never thought... I would ultimately not see the moment Qianlong Academy regains its glory!"

Xuan Lao sighed, gently placed his broom under a banyan tree, extended his aged palm, and lightly stroked the banyan tree.

"My old life, it's time to risk it all."
