Chapter 5: The Dark Leopard Army

  Four commanders leapt up simultaneously, their black armor and spears, along with the black armor and spears of thousands of surrounding knights, emitting a faint luster. In this luster, runes appeared, and in an instant, the momentum, strength, and spirits of thousands of people converged into one place. A massive black beast's virtual shadow enveloped the four commanders, and under the concerted efforts of thousands of cavalrymen, this shadow grew increasingly solid, its aura intensifying until, at the same moment that Gong Yang Wu Chang completely transformed into a gigantic dark-golden demon beast, it took shape.

  That was a black lynx emitting an aura of terror, with the Four Great Leaders as its main body. The five teams of Black Knights were arranged to form its four limbs and tail, while the other Black Knights connected with its aura. Its entire body was about 100 meters long, with shiny and smooth fur that was fine enough to be seen. It confronted a dark gold monster that had evolved from the mutation of a common ram.

  That dark golden beast, which had evolved from the unpredictable public sheep, was also tens of meters long and looked like a giant spider magnified countless times. Its appearance was ferocious and terrifying, with seven eerie eyes distributed on its head, limbs, and one foot. Under the eight feet of this spider, there were dark golden airflow, which formed a huge web that tightly wrapped around it.

  Yao beast, seven-eyed decay day golden spider!

  Two giant beasts confronted each other, the black lynx beast moved first, after letting out a shocking roar, the four overlords leapt up and pounced on the Seven-Eyed Corrosion Golden Spider.

  That golden spider saw the black lynx beast move, and also made a reaction. Two front limbs lifted, the golden yuanqi net under his body was thrown up, and welcomed the black lynx beast.

  Ahhhhh!!!!!

  The black lynx beast let out a furious roar, its sharp claws greeting the giant web, instantly tearing it open and pouncing on the golden spider's body.

  The golden spider obviously didn't expect the opponent to be so fast, and for a moment, its reaction was a bit slow. In an instant, it was pounced on, and with a loud crash, the two giant beasts entwined together, rolling around.

  Suddenly, the seven-eyed golden spider let out a loud roar, and its eight sharp legs pushed the black lynx away. Then, the torn web split into zero and wrapped around the black lynx, which was now tightly entwined.

  Cock-a-doodle-doo!

  It seemed as if the goddess of victory had lifted her skirt for him, and the seven-eyed golden spider suddenly emitted a strange hissing sound. The seven demonic eyes simultaneously released a brown light beam, shooting towards the black lynx entwined by the golden web.

  "Drink!!!" Almost at the same time, the black lynx beast also let out a low and fierce roar, its entire body's black fur suddenly growing wildly, quickly wrapping around its whole body.

  Seven rays of light hit the black lynx's body, only a faint mist of cyan smoke rose.

  Ahhhhh!!!!!

  Blocked the seven brown rays of light, the black lynx's primordial hair on its body was still growing wildly. This time, the black hair stood upright and went straight to the golden spider web.

  The golden spider retreated again and again until it was backed up against the mountain wall, with no room for further retreat.

  Hiss——

  Realizing there was no turning back, the golden spider had no choice but to go all out. Its seven strange eyes shot out brown corrosive rays once again, and at the same time, its strange mouth opened wide, shooting out a thick, dark green sticky liquid.

  But all this was of no use in the face of the black lynx beast's crazy growth, and soon the golden spider was covered by the black hair, curled up into a ball.

  At first, the black furry ball was still moving slightly, but after a few breaths, it stopped making any sound. The black beast also remained motionless. If one looked closely, they could see faint rays of light flowing on the long hair of the black beast, originating from the furry ball.

  Half a time had passed, the long hair of the black lynx finally retracted, revealing the golden spider wrapped inside. However, at this moment, the golden spider was left with only an empty shell. A gust of wind blew by, and it crumbled into dust. On the ground, only a dry skull remained.

  The primordial energy of the universe gradually dissipated, and the massive black lynx also gradually disappeared. However, whether it was the four leaders or the thousands of cavalrymen, they all stood silently and neatly in place, not moving at all. On their black armor, a faint glow flowed and symbols flashed, as if digesting something. Among them, the glow on the bodies of the four leaders was the most intense, and the symbols were the most complex.

  After a while, the light on everyone's body dissipated, and the four leaders let out a sigh of relief.

  "Who would have thought that we'd gain such a rare harvest, it was worth mobilizing for this one time, not bad, not bad!!" said one of the leaders with a satisfied tone.

  "This is nothing unusual, the Bai Du Men in the three southwestern states is also a dominant force, having operated for so many years, it still has some foundation, especially with this Gong Yang Wu Chang, it's not hard to guess that he has such a trump card."

  "Alright, it's settled then. Let's head back and report," the leader said in a low tone, "We can't keep the Second Son waiting!"

  Having said that, he turned over and rode his horse, first rushing towards the outside of the mountain gate. Soon, the entire black cavalry formed a torrent, rushing out of Bai Du Ling.

  From then on, the Bai Du Men, which had been passed down for over 300 years, was exterminated. From the founder of the sect to the newly recruited disciples, thousands of people were killed without exception.

  Three days later, their skulls, including the skull of Kaipai's ancestor, Yang Wuchang, appeared at the gate of Yicheng City and were built into a warning tower to warn the world!

  ………………………

  …………

  Yicheng, Wangjiang Tower

  Jiangyin Yasheng

  Wang Guanlan's pale face gazed out at the surging river waters, her brow furrowed in deep thought.

  On the table in front of me, there is a dish of fermented bean curd, a plate of freshly cooked red-braised river carp, and a pot of well-steeped bamboo-leaf green tea.

  A faint stench of corpses wafted through the air, which was why Wang Guanlan furrowed his brow. Most of the thousands of skulls piled up at the entrance of Yicheng City had already rotted away. Yicheng itself wasn't very large, and soon that unique stench would envelop the entire city.

  This added a few more shades of desolation to Yicheng, which was already eerie in atmosphere.

  Wang Guanlan's residence was protected by an array, so he wasn't afraid of the lingering stench of death. However, he couldn't stay cooped up in that small courtyard all day and night, could he?

  Especially this heavily injured guy needs to come out and breathe some fresh air.

  This is the thirteenth day after he was assassinated and the eighth day after the extinction of Bai Du Men.

  After lying in bed for five whole days, he was finally able to get out of bed with a sick body. The speed of his injury recovery surprised everyone, but it was within his expectation. This was all the benefits brought by the promotion of his technician rank. The inner view had an amazing effect on promoting the treatment of internal injuries.

  However, when he wanted to go out for a walk, he was depressed to find that Yicheng had almost become a latrine shrouded in foul air.

  Fortunately, there is a Wangjiang Pavilion here.

  Wang Jiang Lou is not a property of Ning Wang Fu, located on the banks of Nu Shui River, it is one of the tallest buildings in Yi City. Lin Jiang Ge is the highest point of Wang Jiang Lou. Originally, Wang Guan Lan just wanted to come here to enjoy the breeze, but unexpectedly, he discovered that the river carp here was fresh and tender, after being processed with a secret method, he only ate once and became addicted. As a result, this place became his daily destination. Every morning, he would get up, practice for an hour, then walk from the small courtyard to Wang Jiang Lou for lunch. His requirements were not high, just a pot of light bamboo leaf green tea, a plate of moldy tofu, and a plate of river carp. While eating, he would gaze at the scenery in the Nu Shui River, no one knew what he was thinking about.

  He thought a lot, and this time's encounter made him deeply feel his own strength was insufficient. Although he had the dual identity of a warrior and a mage, his level was simply too low. Moreover, whether it was martial arts or magic, he lacked practice, and his self-satisfaction almost got him killed.

  However, before he could make up his mind on how to cultivate diligently, the news of the extermination of the Hundred Poisons Sect by the Ning Wang Fu had spread throughout the three states of the southwest. No one was able to raise a single question, because those thousands of heads were neatly arranged outside the gate of Yicheng, and it was said that they would be left there for a whole month.

  What had the greatest impact on Wang Guanlan was not the Ning Wangfu's extermination of the Bai Du Men, but as the ruler of the first great power in the three southwestern states, if they couldn't even handle the Bai Du Men, then they would have lost their purpose for existence long ago.

  He was concerned about the main force of this action in Ning Wangfu, which was not some high-end combat power, but a Taoist soldier.

  Three Thousand Black Fox Troops!!

  Dao Bing, Wang Guanlan had heard of it and even saw it before. Hua Lian Wei was Dao Bing, but he never thought that the power of Dao Bing would be so strong.

  With just three thousand troops, they completely annihilated the Hundred Poison Sect, including a ninth-layer Qi-refining martial arts master.

  It was simply unthinkable based on Wang Guanlan's previous understanding, because in the Hei Li Army, the strongest were only four leaders who had cultivated to the seventh layer of Qi Refining.

  In this world where martial arts are revered, not to mention being two levels apart, even being one level apart is a difference of a hundredfold. How could the founder of the Hundred Toxins Sect, Gong Yang Wu Chang, a master who had cultivated his Qi to the ninth layer of the late stage, be killed so simply?

  It is said that from the appearance of the Black Li Army to the killing of Gong Yang, the whole process did not exceed one hour, what kind of efficiency is this, what kind of means are these.

  The actions of the Ning Wang Fu this time not only shocked Wang Guanlan, but also shook the entire southwestern three states!
