Chapter 119: Passing the torch (Please subscribe)

In the blink of an eye.

Another half an hour passed.

In the room on the second floor.

A scorching power descended suddenly.

The heat spread rapidly, causing the temperature in the villa to soar constantly.

Just when Ouyang Xue, Zhang Chi, and others could no longer bear it, this heat seemed to melt like ice and snow, disappearing completely.

Then.

A calm voice came.

"Go, all of you; I have my mission, and you have yours. What should be done has already been done; for the rest, you and I will each work hard."

"Yes!"

Everyone answered and turned to leave.

They were too far behind Lu Li; Lu Li's battlefield was destined to be different from theirs. Once they left this villa, they could no longer borrow any external force.

Life and death were only in their own hands!

After everyone left.

"Creak!"

The door opened.

A thin figure rushed into the nine heavens.

Lu Li stood tall in the long sky, taking in everything happening in Qian Cheng.

Qian Cheng was vast!

On thousands of streets, countless figures gathered constantly; they were like thousands of tiny rivers, gathering and flowing, surging toward the direction of Qian Cheng's gate.

Lu Li could see.

On the streets where countless figures gathered, there were fathers saying goodbye to children, husbands saying goodbye to wives, children saying goodbye to fathers... at this moment, regardless of their cultivation level, regardless of their identity or background, they had only one identical thought.

That was to crush the Fierce Beasts!

Even if the path ahead was dangerous, they would not look back!

Lu Li watched quietly like this.

Only after a long time did he turn and head toward the City Lord Mansion.

He knew very clearly!

This time the Fierce Beasts were coming aggressively!

Their strength was also unprecedentedly powerful; to hold Qian Cheng, they had to pay a huge price. This price might mean that more than half of the people in that tide of people like a hundred rivers returning to the sea would not be able to survive.

Those waiting at home were destined to see no hope for many!

But, the torch is passed on!

As long as the will of those who died in battle could be inherited, Qian Cheng would never fall.

A moment later!

Lu Li's figure appeared in the City Lord Mansion.

There were not many people in the main hall, but they were the real power figures in the major Martial Dao families, with extraordinary status and status; as Qian Wang issued one order after another, they left one after another.

Finally, only Lu Li remained!

And at this time, Qian Cheng looked over with a faint smile: "You're here."

"Qian Wang, give the order."

Lu Li waited for the order.

During the Fierce Beast war, all combat resources in Qian Cheng were led by the City Lord Mansion; they had to be strictly disciplined. Even if he had heaven-defying cultivation, he could not act without authorization.

One hair moves the whole body!

A moment of carelessness would cause the entire situation to collapse!

"No rush!"

The smile on Qian Wang's face remained unchanged.

With a wave of his hand, a Qian Cheng defense map appeared before him.

"You are a bit late; this is the defense map within a hundred miles of Qian Cheng. You look at it first, and we will talk after you are familiar with the situation."

Lu Li said no more.

His gaze flickered, and he looked at the Qian Cheng defense map.

Outside Qian Cheng!

With a hundred miles as the boundary!

On all the main roads, there were solid fortifications used to defend against Fierce Beasts. In the last battle outside the city, Vice City Lord Yu Wuji, after receiving the news in advance, relied on those fortifications to lure the enemy deep and dealt a heavy blow to the Fierce Beasts' spirit at the beginning.

Only then could they persist for several days under the joint attack of the three King-level Fierce Beast armies while Qian Wang had not yet returned.

But this time, Qian Wang actually abandoned all fortifications.

Only guarding the three main roads leading to the city gate.

"Qian Cheng's Fierce Beasts are powerful and have many powerhouses; if we still defend in a scattered way as before, we will be broken one by one sooner or later, so I abandoned all defensive fortifications and concentrated all combat power together, divided into three main places, to resist with everyone's joint efforts and block the Fierce Beasts' pace." On the side, Qian Wang's explanation came.

Lu Li nodded lightly.

This Fierce Beast war was different from the last one!

This time, the Fierce Beasts had many top-level combat powers!

Even if we exclude Ju Xiang Xuan Wang who was killed by Vice City Lord Yu Wuji, there were still nine Beast Kings; facing such powerhouses, those defensive fortifications were like decorations, and could be destroyed with a single palm.

If everyone was still scattered!

Just relying on those nine Beast Kings, they could be broken one by one until they were finally unable to resist.

Combining forces in three key places was indeed the only way.

However...

Can combining forces in three places resist?

That night in the endless wilderness battle, although they completely destroyed the Fierce Beast's right-route army, they also suffered heavy losses.

Vice City Lord Yu Wuji was severely injured and dying; even though he was saved by him with the Life Fruit, he was still unconscious.

As for the ten peak Martial Monarchs, they also damaged their Origins and were not easily recovered; wanting to join forces to cast the array again and possess power surpassing Martial Monarchs was almost impossible!

These two Martial King combat powers were destroyed!

The remaining Martial King combat power in Qian Cheng was only Qian Wang and Zhou Hang sent by Sheng Cheng!

But relying on the power of the two of them!

Wanting to resist nine Martial King-level Fierce Beasts was simply impossible!

"It is indeed very difficult, but everyone has not given up; we must try." Qian Wang said with a smile.

"We must try!"

Lu Li also nodded solemnly.

Qian Cheng's hundred years!

From the arduous establishment to the present, the dangers encountered were countless; if we really wanted to give up, Qian Cheng would have long ceased to exist. All we have to do is to follow one another.

"Not asking about life and death, only seeking to pass the torch; the heavy burden of all of Qian Cheng is on our shoulders, our responsibility is not small!"

Qian Wang's weathered face showed a few fluctuations.

His gaze was deep.

His voice continued to come.

"With such a heavy burden, I dare not have the slightest slack; then do you know why I let you watch this defense map?"

Lu Li's expression shook.

For Qian Cheng, the defense map was of paramount importance!

It recorded the combat power, personnel, and various means that could be used for defense, etc. Once leaked, the Fierce Beasts wouldn't even need to probe and could launch a general attack.

Such a defense map!

Apart from Qian Wang, I'm afraid not many people in all of Qian Cheng could see it.

Even if he possessed the Qian Wang Wushuang Order, he was not considered the core of the City Lord Mansion!

Why did Qian Wang let him see it?

Could it be...

"You guessed right, I want you to take charge of one army!" Qian Wang looked over with a full face of smiles.

"How is that possible?"

Lu Li couldn't believe it.

Qian Cheng's combat power was combined into one, divided into three places!

Taking charge of one army!

That was equivalent to controlling one-third of all of Qian Cheng's power!

He was just a hairy kid who had just entered the Martial Monarch realm; just in this City Lord Mansion, there were many people whose cultivation was far higher than his. Letting him sit in charge of one army and defend against Fierce Beasts looked like a joke no matter how you looked at it!

"I am not joking."

Qian Wang shook his head, and a sigh came.

"If Yu Wuji were still here, he would be the most suitable candidate, but for these three days, no matter what means I used, he has always been immersed in a coma, and below him, no one can shoulder this heavy responsibility."
