Chapter 226: No Longer Resigning, the Sorrow of Jiangcheng

~10 min read 1,902 words

A Seven-Rank Evil Spirit King suddenly spoke.

Its single sentence made it clear.

The plan to attack Jiangcheng this time was the decision of an Emperor... no, in all likelihood, it was the decision of three Emperors!

And "Emperor" is a title that only the Three Great Alien Races possess.

Corresponding to the Eight-Rank Martial Saint of the Human Race!

Just this piece of information revealed was enough to make Instructor Zhang sigh once more.

He realized that he was right not to have let Sun Wudi, Zui Xiaoyao, and the others come over in advance.

Because even if they killed these six royal clans, it was very likely that an Emperor of the Alien Race would descend!

And the Seven-Rank Evil Spirit King was still speaking.

"Since you have all arrived, then make your choice."

"Jiangcheng must be destroyed today.

However, if the intelligence is correct, many of you are friends of the Human Race's Ye Bai."

"So, as friends of Ye Bai, you now have one chance to choose: die, or choose an Alien Race to join!"

Just as Liu Qingtian and Su Dingtian had thought.

The Three Great Alien Races did not hesitate to expose the secret that they could create a Secret Realm, and the reason was precisely Ye Bai.

Their primary goal was to make the prophecy regarding Ye Bai come true.

To cement the title of Disaster Star for the Human Race.

If possible during this time, they would not mind recruiting a batch of Human Traitors who must be friends of Ye Bai!

It was not that they wanted to use these people to lure Ye Bai to the territory of the Alien Races.

They just wanted the recruited Human Traitors to call out to Ye Bai from afar afterwards.

To make more high-level members of the Human Race suspicious of Ye Bai!

"Impossible!"

"Even if we die, we will not betray the Human Race!"

Instructor Chen and the others were filled with righteous indignation upon hearing this.

"Director Liu, City Lord Su, give the order; we will go out now and fight them to the death!"

However, Liu Qingtian and Su Dingtian remained silent.

Then, without waiting for the instructors to be confused.

"Zhenyao, go and issue a city-wide announcement to explain the current situation in Jiangcheng.

Let everyone... cherish this final period of time."

"Also, give everyone in the Dragon Guard, the Martial Artist Association, and the Military Department a break.

This time it is our incompetence; we have let everyone down."

Liu Qingtian said.

"Weiguo, there is a recorder in my office."

"Go and get it, then let everyone leave a message for our young friend Ye Bai."

"Today, the fate of Jiangcheng is already sealed.

But you all know young friend Ye Bai's personality; do not let him sink into feelings of sadness and self-reproach. He should look toward the future."

"A fight to the death is our own choice..."

This old man had already decided to fight to the death!

However, they could not miss the time the six great Alien Race kings gave them to choose.

Give everyone some time to say goodbye to their loved ones.

The people from the Dragon Guard, the Martial Artist Association, and the Military Department could also take advantage of this final period to relax.

There was no need to come for the battle.

With the six great Seventh-grade Alien Kings here, it was meaningless for any number of Low-grade Martial Artists to come.

"... Alright!"

Huang Weiguo and Chen Zhenyao walked away, gritting their teeth.

"Instructor Zhang, I will have to trouble you with these six Seventh-grade ones later." Liu Qingtian looked at Instructor Zhang with an apologetic expression.

He prepared to hold off all the Sixth-grade Alien Races by himself.

"Rest assured, this old man was already prepared to meet these beasts."

Instructor Zhang said, then his gaze flickered.

"However, Director Liu, actually, there is something else this old man has not said..."

"The reason this old man did not send Ye Bai's family to the Magic City at the first opportunity is because I am confident that within the defensive line, no matter what happens, I can protect those I intend to protect; I will not let that child Ye Bai down.

This old man is at the Seventh Grade Peak, and my Domain is the Dark Domain, which has the ability to isolate others from detecting us. After self-detonating, the power of the Domain will become a hundred times stronger for a short time; unless an existence at the level of the Four Saints arrives in person, everyone can only wait for the power of the Dark Domain to completely dissipate."

"And this old man can protect four people to survive this catastrophe..."

He told Liu Qingtian about the four spots and also explained that he had knocked out Qin Churan and sent her into the Domain before coming.

He also suggested that Liu Qingtian should eventually enter his Domain as well.

Liu Qingtian only needed to hold back a sliver of strength while intercepting the Alien Races, and enter his Domain in time before he self-detonated!

"Grandfather...!" Liu Yan'er, who was on the side, heard this, and her eyes filled with hope for a moment.

Even though she had always been willful, at this moment, she wanted to persuade Liu Qingtian to agree.

After hearing what Instructor Zhang said, she had never once thought about occupying one of the spots herself!

"To live?"

"No."

However, Liu Qingtian refused!

"I am, after all, the only Grandmaster in Jiangcheng. Now that Jiangcheng is in trouble, how could I possibly hold back any strength just to cling to life?"

"Anyway, having lived this long and killed so many Alien Race, this life has been worth it!"

"It's just a bit of a pity for Ye Bai's Mending Heaven Stone..."

Liu Yan'er was anxious and wanted to say something, "Grandfather!!"

Liu Qingtian used a hand blade to knock Liu Yan'er unconscious!

"Zhang Daoshi, although I have no intention of surviving, please... send Yan'er into the Domain."

"I know this is a bit selfish, but I am, after all, Yan'er's grandfather..."

"Alright!" Zhang Daoshi agreed!

He knew that this old man's son and daughter had long since perished in the battles to protect Jiangcheng.

Furthermore, despite being a Department Head, he had lived the most humble life for ten years.

He could not refuse this final bit of selfishness.

"Everyone, you..." Zhang Daoshi then looked at Dantai Yanran and the others.

There were two spots left.

"Zhang Daoshi, I don't need the spot."

However, the instructor surnamed Chen refused immediately.

"The spear in my hand tells me that as long as I can kill two Alien Race before I die, this life of mine will have been worth it!"

"Haha, Zhang Daoshi, if Lao Chen doesn't want it, and I've been his brother for so many years, how could I not fight to the end with him?"

"My roots are in Jiangcheng, and I hope that before the Alien Race break through the city gates, they will be stepping on my corpse."

"Living alone is too lonely, let's go together!"

Finally, it was Dantai Yanran; she only said nine words, "Jiangcheng Military Department Commander, willing to fight to the death!"

However, what surprised Zhang Daoshi the most was actually the next moment.

Seeing Dantai Yanran and the others refuse, he had intended to let Liu Qingtian find two people from Jiangcheng.

"Department Head Liu!"

"We are here!"

Suddenly, a voice rang out!

It was Liu Qingtian's deputy from the Martial Artist Association.

Behind him followed all the members of the Martial Artist Association!

Chen Zhenyao had acted quickly; the announcement had already been issued.

The moment the announcement was released, the entire Martial Artist Association gathered and arrived at the city gate at top speed!

"You all?!" Liu Qingtian wanted to say something.

"Department Head Liu, don't waste your breath trying to persuade us.

We have protected Jiangcheng for most of our lives; if we aren't here for this final time, we fear we wouldn't be able to rest in peace even in the underworld!"

"Don't worry, we already sent messages to our families when we came, and they support our choice!"

Led by the deputy, everyone had a smile on their face!

Liu Qingtian was speechless!

"City Lord, you really aren't being fair. Have you spent too much time in the Dimensional Gate that you no longer consider us your people?"

"Or are you single-mindedly thinking about stepping down to travel around Great Xia?"

Then, another group of people arrived.

The entire Dragon Guard!

"This old man will not step down..."

Su Dingtian finally spat out only a few words.

With such a group of old friends here.

A homestay in Li City wouldn't be as good as Jiangcheng, would it?

"Commander, Jiangcheng Military Department, requests to fight to the death!"

Then, the Junbu Zhanshi who were still in Jiangcheng all arrived!

Every single one of them looked at Dantai Yanran with firm gazes!

"... Granted!"

Dantai Yanran's face showed emotion once again!

The very last moment.

"Tap, tap."

The sound of dense footsteps even rang out!

It was a large group of Jiangcheng people!

There were people from wealthy families.

There were school teachers.

There were students.

There were old people.

There were children.

Martial Artists, Apprentices, all had arrived...

"Director Liu, City Lord Su, we are all members of the White God Support Group now!"

"We have made up our minds; we cannot bring shame to White God, so in this final bit of time, we want to kill the Alien Race!!"

"As for this old woman, I have nothing else to boast about in this life, but these teeth of mine are still good, and I want to see if I can bite a piece of flesh off the Alien Race."

"We are a noble family after all, how could there be any reason to hide in the back? It's just a pity that I apologized to Ye Bai for nothing."

"We want to die standing!"

"There are no cowards in Jiangcheng!"

This was the attitude these people expressed.

Even when Liu Qingtian announced that there were still two spots left to survive.

"Forget it, forget it; the home is gone, what is the point of living?"

"I am a piece of trash, and I won't be of any use if I go out; this is the only chance in my life to kill the Alien Race!"

"Don't you dare think about knocking me out! I am not leaving!"

"I want to advance and retreat with everyone!"

"Uh, you should have said so earlier; before I came, I fed my child an overdose of sleeping pills..."

In short, not a single person chose to live on in disgrace!

Zhang Daoshi only remarked that it was no wonder Jiangcheng could cultivate a Ye Bai!

Today, the hero was destined not to be him.

Or rather, not just him.

Everyone was a hero!

"Hey, hey, what words do you want to leave for Brother Ye?"

And amidst the voice of Huang Weiguo, the battle began.

There were no miracles.

There was only...

"Fight! Fight! Fight to the death!"

"Screw the Alien Race, didn't one just get smacked to death by my frying pan!"

There was only a transparent hand flickering in the air...
