Chapter 383: We Won't Take Anything!

"What? This is..."

Lv Wencai's eyes instantly widened, his pupils contracting sharply.

This sword strike felt strangely familiar, as if he had heard of it before!

The legendary Killing God Sword?

Whoosh!

Without any warning, the sword pierced straight through Lv Wencai's throat!

He barely had time to react before the light in his pupils dimmed.

One sword to hook the soul, one sword to snatch life!

The Killing God Sword is the most straightforward method of killing; this is precisely why that Old Killing God could shake the four directions with his fame.

Once one's sword technique transcends the ordinary, even cultivators of the same realm will be slain with a single strike!

But Xu Que was different; this fellow's sword technique proficiency was stacked up by the System, and coupled with the bonus from the Killing Sword, both its power and realm had already surpassed those of the Old Killing God!

Killing Lv Wencai, who was at the Infant Transformation Stage, was now as easy as pie!

All the effort he had put in beforehand was solely to prevent Lv Wencai from activating the City Protection Array and wasting time; once the City Wall was blasted apart, no expert would be of any use, and everyone would be instantly killed by him!

"Ding, congratulations Host 'Xu Que' for killing an Infant Transformation Stage expert, obtaining one million experience points and one Storage Ring!"

"Ding, congratulations Host 'Xu Que' for Acting Cool Successfully, rewarding 410 Acting Cool Points!"

"Ding, congratulations Host 'Xu Que' for Acting Cool Successfully, rewarding 430 Acting Cool Points!"

The System notification sounds rang out consecutively.

Xu Que slashed off Lv Wencai's head in one move, then leaped into the air with a bound.

The next moment, he sank his Qi into his dantian and shouted with a shaking voice: "Lv Wencai is dead; will you lot not surrender yet?"

The voice instantly echoed throughout the entire Bishui City.

Swish!

Everyone couldn't help but halt their movements, whipping their heads around to look.

Lv Wencai's head was gripped in Xu Que's hand, dripping with blood, his face still preserving the shocked expression he wore before death.

In an instant, the soldiers in Bishui City were filled with horror.

City Lord Lu is dead?

How is this possible?

The City Wall had only just collapsed, yet this youth killed City Lord Lu with a single sword strike?

He is only at Nascent Soul Stage Layer Ten! How could he possibly achieve such a feat?

"Kill!"

At the same time, the Three Thousand Snow City Army outside the city had also arrived.

Helicopters, tanks, rocket launchers, and Divine Might Charging Cannons were all aimed at the tens of thousands of troops in Bishui City, eyeing them like tigers eyeing their prey, their momentum soaring to the heavens!

"Those who surrender shall not be killed!" Xu Que raised Lv Wencai's head and shouted loudly.

"Those who surrender shall not be killed!" the Three Thousand Snow City Army also roared in unison, their faces brimming with excitement and immense pride.

They had never expected that Bishui City would be captured so easily; it was simply a miracle!

Yet they also knew clearly that all of this was Xu Que's doing; his strategic planning and siege tactics were divine, and combined with these Divine Might Cannons, they were truly invincible!

Meanwhile, the tens of thousands of troops inside Bishui City trembled in their hearts, their faces pale!

Only at this moment did they realize just how terrifying this force of merely three thousand people truly was!

And the person who enabled such a terrifying force was, without a doubt, that youth at the Nascent Soul Stage!

He was too strong, so strong it was suffocating!

"I surrender! General, spare my life!"

"I surrender too!"

"We were only following orders; now that City Lord Lu is dead, we are willing to defect!"

In an instant, the soldiers of Bishui City threw down their Dharma Artifacts one after another and chose to surrender!

They were originally soldiers of the Water Yuan Kingdom; it was only because Lv Wencai, who held the Military Tally, betrayed the Water Yuan Kingdom that they were forced to follow suit.

Now that Lv Wencai was dead and Xu Que had obtained the Military Tally from his Storage Ring, he smoothly took command of these tens of thousands of troops.

"I am Zhuge Liang, the Assistant sent by Water Emperor Highness to reclaim the Ancient City; since you have chosen to surrender, I will not make things difficult for you! However, you must repair the City Wall, and anyone who dares to betray again will surely be slain!" Xu Que stood atop the City Wall and said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" the soldiers of Bishui City immediately bowed their heads in response.

Xu Que nodded in satisfaction, tossed aside Lv Wencai's head, turned to face the Snow City Army, and shouted loudly: "Where is the Snow City Army? Follow this General and continue our journey to capture Yunluo City!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire scene instantly fell silent.

Everyone was stunned.

The Three Thousand Snow City Army had originally thought that capturing Bishui City warranted a grand celebration, never expecting that Xu Que was serious and intended to attack Yunluo City next.

This...

This...

This was simply too domineering!

"We swear to follow General Zhuge to the death and attack Yunluo City!" In an instant, the Snow City Army boiled over, full of fighting spirit, their blood surging as they excitedly roared.

The tens of thousands of troops in Bishui City, however, were nearly scared silly.

This youth is too terrifying!

This Snow City Army has gone mad!

Yunluo City... is also finished!

"Excellent, but before that, we must do something important! Someone might ask, what could be more important than capturing the city? Exactly, it's raiding the estate! Everyone, move out—raid only the City Lord's Mansion, but do not disturb the common people; violators will be punished by military law and executed on the spot!" Xu Que shouted loudly.

Upon hearing this, the people of Bishui City nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Are these really people sent by Water Emperor Highness? They look more like bandits!

But then again, at least they are bandits with a conscience, raiding only the City Lord's home and not disturbing the common people; in this day and age, such good bandits are rare!

Thus, the soldiers of Bishui City watched helplessly as Xu Que led his men charging into the City Lord's Mansion.

What was most depressing was that this fellow did not forcibly break open the City Lord's Mansion, but instead knocked on the door very politely.

The maids and young servants inside the City Lord's Mansion, including Lv Wencai's concubines and offspring, were terrified at this moment; having even heard Xu Que outside shouting about raiding the estate, how could anyone possibly dare to open the door now?

"Young Hero Zhuge, shall we just break down the door and enter?" Second Battalion Commander stepped forward at this moment and suggested.

Xu Que immediately put on a stern face and shouted loudly, "We are the Army of Justice; if we break down the door and enter directly, what difference is there between us and bandits?"

"..."

The Snow City Army instantly twitched the corners of their mouths, rendered speechless.

Big Brother, you're about to raid an estate, and you still don't count as bandits?

"People of the City Lord's Mansion, listen up, open the door quickly! I was just joking earlier; how could we possibly raid your estate? We only wish to enter and inspect a few things; it is merely routine official business. I hereby solemnly guarantee that we absolutely will not take a single thing!" At this moment, Xu Que knocked on the door again and shouted, sounding extremely sincere.

The crowd outside the door immediately stood dumbfounded.

Not raiding the estate? Then what did we come here to do?

That's not right; since when did Young Hero Zhuge change his nature?

The people inside the City Lord's Mansion also paused in surprise.

Could it really have been a joke?

That makes sense; after all, these are people sent by Water Emperor Highness.

Water Emperor Highness has always been magnanimous, kind, and approachable to the people; his subordinates surely wouldn't dare to act so recklessly!

"Go open the door!" A noblewoman hesitated for a moment, then looked at the young servant beside her and said.

The young servant hurriedly nodded, ran over quickly, and with a "creak," opened the main gate.

Xu Que stood at the doorway with a face full of smiles, like a refined and elegant noble young master, not looking in the least like someone who would lead troops into battle.

Suddenly, the smile on his face vanished; he waved his large hand and shouted, "The door is open, everyone get in quickly, and remember—don't take anything, just smash everything!"
