Starting as a centurion, he fought his way through the chaos of the world.

Chapter 154 The Battle for the Island and the Changing Landscape
"Sizzle!" Wu Han made his move, and a blood-red blade flew out, slicing the ship in front of him in two. The Blood-Transforming Blade swept the people on the ship into the blade.

Zhang Mu threw the Fire Dragon Dart, and flames flashed in the sky.

The other ship was instantly destroyed.

The wreckage of the ship drifted by, and the disciples of Black Mountain Island soared into the air one by one.

"Creak!" The sound of crossbows being cocked echoed continuously from the warship.

Lu Ming had three giant ships under his command, all of which carried crossbowmen.

They pulled the trigger directly.

"Whoosh!" The sound of something cutting through the air rang out.

A deluge of crossbow bolts blotted out the sky.

The disciples didn't have time to react before they were shot dead in mid-air.

The body fell down, staining the sea red.

"Bang!" A sea beast leaped up and swallowed it whole.

The warships continued to advance.

The wreckage of the ship that sailed to Heishan Island was knocked aside.

At this moment, the scene on the sea clearly attracted the attention of the people on the island.

There were five or six experts at the Golden Core stage guarding the dock.

There are also hundreds of disciples at the Qi Refining and Dao Foundation stages.

Upon seeing the scene before them, they all drew their weapons and issued warnings.

What interests Lu Ming the most is...

Someone even lit a beacon fire.

It seems there are some military savvy people on Black Mountain Island.

However, what they didn't know was what the biggest difference was between sect disciples and soldiers.

As the warships gradually approached the dock, the ships turned sideways.

Rows of crossbows gleamed coldly, their runes dancing incessantly.

"Wow!"

Warriors were pouring bags of spirit stones into the slots behind the crossbows.

In an instant, a large number of spirit stones were transformed into the purest energy and injected into the crossbow.

Propel the crossbow bolt to fire.

"Bang! Bang!"

As a series of deafening sounds rang out.

Then we saw those crossbows pierce the air in an instant.

The speed is very fast.

It left white streaks in the air.

A sonic boom was also heard.

Before the Black Mountain Island disciples who were blocking the shore could react, they were bombarded by a large number of crossbow bolts.

"Swoosh!" A Golden Core Realm disciple, who had just formed a layer of protective energy around his body, was pierced through by a crossbow radiating a halo.

Then, his body shattered.

It turned into a thick cloud of blood mist in the air.

In the sky, crimson blood mist was spreading.

Faced with the attack of the warships, those below the Purple Mansion level would have no power to fight back.

The sound of something cutting through the air could be heard continuously on the island.

Lu Ming knew that a master was on his way.

"Land on the island!" his voice rang out.

With a slightly hoarse voice.

When the order was given, they had already leaped out.

"Bang!" It landed on the island.

The ground was shaking.

His generals, as well as the warriors of the strongmen's battalion and the crossbowmen's battalion, also landed on the island.

When an army of 20,000 men arrayed themselves on the island.

It is still quite a large-scale project.

"Who dares to act so presumptuously on my Black Mountain Island!" A sect leader who was closest to the location rushed over.

He was at the late stage of the Purple Mansion realm.

He also has three subordinates at the early stage of the Purple Mansion realm.

Behind them were countless disciples.

Their strength is not weak.

"Kill!" But as soon as they appeared, Wu Han roared angrily.

He was a fierce general in the army, and he was the best at using his power to intimidate others.

When the sound rang out.

He raised his crescent-shaped blade, and a blood-red blade flashed behind him.

It immediately rose from the sky.

Xiao Lin, who was standing to the side, took out the Vajra Bracelet.

When it is floating in mid-air.

The immense suction force pulled towards the sect forces on Black Mountain Island.

Li Xun also threw out the Immortal Binding Rope from his palm.

This configuration is incredibly powerful.

Before the people from the opposing immortal sect could react, all of their weapons were taken away.

While they were still in a daze, the Immortal Binding Rope had already bound the sect leader.

An elder wanted to rebel.

The Blood-Transforming Blade flew out.

"Buzz!" A streak of crimson light flashed in the air.

Then, the elder didn't even have time to let out a scream.

It had already turned into a pool of blood.

"Whoosh!" Crossbow bolts rained down relentlessly from the sky.

Without weapons and magical treasures, how could the disciples possibly withstand the Divine Arm Crossbow?

His body was pierced and torn apart in an instant.

The screams continued incessantly.

This is the difference between military battles and sect battles; they emphasize teamwork and coordination.

Even if you are slightly weaker, you can still defeat a stronger opponent.

If you are stronger than your opponent, you can crush them instantly.

Therefore, those sect members in the air were in trouble.

Most of them were killed in a short time.

After the sect leader's body was restrained by the Immortal Binding Rope, he fell to the ground and struggled.

"Bang!" Zheng Yong kicked him.

The man, who resembled a wandering ascetic, stopped moving.

His inner energy was shattered, and he knew that these people in front of him were not to be trifled with.

He might kill himself.

"Everyone, my Vajra Sect has not offended you. There is a cause for every grievance, so why do this?" he shouted.

Looking at his fallen disciples, his rugged face was filled with heartache.

The elders under Lu Ming's command gradually lost their ability to resist as they were slaughtered by his generals.

If this continues, the sect might even be destroyed.

"Surrender or die, the choice is yours!" Lu Ming walked over, clad in armor.

A cold light shone on the black, scale-like armor.

This caused fear to appear on the face of the Vajra Sect Master.

"As long as you don't kill me, everything is negotiable." These people knew that it was not easy to cultivate to such a level, and no one wanted to die if they could live.

They're all seasoned veterans in the cultivation world.

Being controlled by others, one naturally dares not speak out of pride anymore.

"Make your men surrender." Lu Ming's indifferent voice rang out.

Without any emotion.

After hesitating for a moment, the Vajra Sect Master gritted his teeth and said, "Stop now!"

His voice was high-pitched, with sound waves rippling outwards.

It sounded like thunder on the battlefield.

With few disciples left in the Vajra Sect, they had no choice but to stop what they were doing.

Lu Ming nodded in satisfaction.

He glanced at it briefly and saw that, including the sect leader, there were two Purple Mansion cultivators, twelve Golden Core cultivators, nearly thirty Core Formation experts, and hundreds of Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators. It was quite a force to be reckoned with.

Currently, sects are constantly sending disciples into the territory of Dayu.

I can also take control of Black Mountain Island and increase my strength.

Although it cannot compare with those major sects outside the realm, it plays a significant role within the Great Yu territory.

At the very least, they won't be at a disadvantage in terms of numbers.

He watched as the disciples of the Vajra Sect had their cultivation suppressed by their subordinates.

Then they left it on the boat.

Lu Ming looked down at the Vajra Sect Master.

"Where is the leader of Montenegro?"

As the saying goes, to catch a thief, you must first catch his king. As long as we capture the leader of this island...

The entire Black Mountain Island would then be his.

At that time, Fengyun City and Nujiao Sect will be completely at my mercy.

"You, you are no match for him."

The Vajra Sect Master clearly hesitated at this moment.

We can get him to surrender, but he doesn't seem to have the guts to go against the leader of the Black Mountain.

"Swoosh!" A spear pierced through his body. Although it was not fatal, it caused great pain to the Vajra Sect Master.

Wang Han's palm was slowly waving.

The spears also began to stir.

Blood gushed from the abdomen of the Vajra Sect Master.

Sweat appeared on his forehead.

When facing such long-time ruthless bandits, you have to be even more ruthless than them.

"His palace is in Black Cliff, and we usually go there to pay our respects."

The Vajra Sect Master finally couldn't help but speak.

His face turned pale.

The pain was so intense that his hands scratched bloody marks on the ground.

When she looked at Wang Han, her face was full of fear.

The people in front of me, I don't know where they came from, but they are too ruthless.

However, just as they were speaking...

In the distance, a figure suddenly appeared, dressed in a black robe, with his eyes closed and covered in scars.

His thin, bony body, like a piece of dead wood, floated freely in the sea breeze.

"No need to look anymore, the old blind man is right here."

His hoarse voice rang out.

In the sky, figures appeared one after another.

There was a sect leader named Nu Jiao, but he appeared to be a young man with a cultivation level of mid-stage Purple Mansion. Among all the sect leaders, he was the weakest.

There are also two powerful city lords.

The Lord of Feng City wore a blue armor, while the Lord of Yun City wore a white robe.

Standing in the air, his eyes shone brightly as he opened and closed them.

The other sect leaders also drew their weapons.

The two sides' forces were locked in a standoff at this moment.

Generals Wu Han, Wang Xun, Zheng Yong, Lu Shi, Li Xun, Baili Fei, Wang Yue, Lin Wu, Miao Feng, and others approached Lu Ming.

Moments later, lightning flashed across the flat ground, and a giant dragon with black scales emerged from the smoke and dust, its body shrouded in clouds.

It was none other than the Nine Heavens Thunder Dragon Formation that had been set up.

A powerful aura emanated from him, and even the Black Mountain leader lost his previous composure, frowning as he did so.

Although it cannot be seen, the destructive energy in the air can be felt.

On its massive body, metallic scales were tightly packed together, with lightning flashing through the gaps. Its reverse scales were raised, and its claws were churning, ready for battle.

Lu Ming stood atop the head of the thunder dragon.

It is on par with the leader of Montenegro.

The Dragon Sparrow Blade was raised, its surface gleaming with a cold light.

"Such powerful array formation. Who are you?" the Black Mountain leader asked calmly.

“Once Black Mountain Island is destroyed, you will naturally find out,” Lu Ming said calmly.

"Roar!" The black dragon charged forward in the next moment.

Its enormous body transmitted astonishing energy, enabling Lu Mingke to fight against the Refining God.

At the same time, the generals of the Marquis's mansion also made their move.

Su Lie, wielding the Heart-Piercing Nail and chanting incantations, met up with the City Lord of Wind.

Wang Han, riding the Xiangliu Camp, transformed into a ten-thousand-meter-long giant python, spitting out golden dragon scissors from its mouth, and pursued the City Lord of Yun.

Zhang Mu, holding the Fire Dragon Spear, enveloped a Nascent Soul expert.

Hu Fei led the Divine Crossbow Battalion to begin eliminating the disciples of various sects.

Li Sun confronted the leader of the Angry Dragon Sect, wielding the Earth-Splitting Pearl to suppress his opponent, rendering him unable to move.

Hong Tao faced a Nascent Soul cultivator. A gouge appeared in his palm, and as soon as he threw it, his opponent's eyes bled and he was unable to see.

Faced with the luxurious equipment of the generals of the Marquis's mansion.

The strong individuals on Black Mountain Island were almost powerless to fight back. Although they were strong, they were only ordinary experts and could not compare to the geniuses.

In an instant, bloodshed erupted on the battlefield.

The leader of Black Mountain is now being suppressed by Lu Ming. This time, the latter is much stronger than last time, both in terms of the expert lineup he has set up and his own strength.

Furthermore, the true combat strength of the Black Mountain leader cannot be compared with that of the core disciples of the Kaiyang Sect.

"laugh!"

Lu Ming's blade flashed.

It left a terrifying white trail in the air, and the cyan-gold blade light transformed into countless blade shadows.

The Black Mountain leader raised his cane to defend himself.

"Bang!" He actually sent him flying a hundred miles away.

His body crashed into a mountain peak.

It pierced through a giant ridge on Black Mountain Island.

Lu Ming showed no sign of stopping; after slashing with his blade, his body moved against the wind.

The combat boots on their feet radiate a dazzling light.

He stomped his foot on the leader of the Black Mountain.

One step covers a hundred miles.

Behind them, the enormous dragon-elephant roared.

Ignoring his injuries, the Black Mountain leader shifted his body to the side.

"Boom!" Then, he saw the place where he had just been standing.

Lu Ming kicked him through.

These footprints were terrifying, overlapping with the monstrous feet of the dragon and elephant behind them, radiating a bluish-gold light, like a pillar of heaven falling.

The earth's veins were breached, and scorching magma shot into the sky.

Mixed with volcanic ash filling the sky.

It's so bright it makes it hard to open your eyes.

At this time, the entire Black Mountain Island had almost become a living hell.

Dense lava climbed all around, leaving streaks of red.

Thick smoke billowed up.

From afar, the fleets of ships watched this scene in horror.

Black Mountain Island is the dominant power in the area, controlling the waterways of countless families and sects along the coast. If it changes hands...

This will change the current situation.

On a ship, Mu Qinglin wore a long blue dress, her fair cheeks glistening in the sunlight.

A hint of worry appeared on her stunningly beautiful face.

"What happened?" she asked softly.

The steward cautiously approached and said, "Miss, this morning someone launched an attack on Black Mountain Island, and the fighting has continued until now. I heard that several sect leaders have died."

Nowadays, merchant ships from various powerful families dare not approach.

When the sound rang out.

He looked into the distance and then continued, "If Black Mountain Island is defeated, we'll probably have to find someone else to pay tribute to in the future."

At this point, the steward shook his head.

The world is becoming increasingly turbulent.

Mu Qinglin nodded.

and didn't speak.

However, at that very moment, someone suddenly flew over from afar.

They chased and fled.

The man in front wore blue armor and had a full beard, but he looked quite disheveled, covered in blood.

The pursuer was clad in black scale armor, holding a knife in his right hand and controlling a nail-shaped magical artifact emitting black smoke in his left.

The city lord of Yunfeng was forced into a corner with no way out.

If they knew each other, they would naturally recognize that the one chasing after the City Lord of Feng was none other than Su Lie.

He was also one of Lu Ming's most formidable generals.

"laugh!"

Just as the Lord of Wind City was about to approach the fleet.

The black divine nail pierced through the air, penetrating his back.

The once-powerful Lord of Feng City was thus nailed to the sea with a face full of resentment.

The Heart-Piercing Nail automatically returned to Su Lie's hand.

Then, with a wave of his hand, the Wind City Lord's storage ring appeared in his own hand.

Mu Qinglin, and everyone on the ship, held their breath at that moment.

She didn't even dare to look up and meet Su Lie's gaze.

The opponent's aura was too strong; just standing at a distance, they felt suffocated.

"Get out!" A cold, slightly brutal voice rang out.

The Mu family's fleet was granted a pardon.

They immediately headed away into the distance.

Only after traveling hundreds of miles did Mu Qinglin take a deep breath and say to the steward beside him, "Find out the situation and be sure to establish a relationship with the new force on Black Mountain Island."

She knew in her heart that the once-powerful Black Mountain Island was likely about to change hands.

"Yes, miss!"

The manager quickly replied.

At the same time, Lu Ming's blade had already struck the neck of the Black Mountain leader.

The opponent's ferocious head flew high into the air.

His deep and authoritative voice also rang out at the same time.

"The leader of the Black Mountain is dead. You have a choice: surrender or die!"

Lu Ming's gaze swept across the battlefield.

There are still quite a few skilled individuals left behind; if they could join me, that would be great.

The Marquis's mansion should be able to reach a new level of strength.
