Chapter 394 A Sword Comes from the West

In the vast wilderness, there was an endless flat and empty land. As the huge convoy passed by, a cloud of dust suddenly floated up.

The vast dust and haze became the only scenery in the world.

Strange to say.

Starting from the provincial capital and heading south, the further we went, the sparser the originally dense populations of wild animals living in the wilderness became.

When we got closer to Wuzhou in the south, there was almost no trace of any wild animals on the vast plain.

And gradually.

As the convoy passed by, tearing through the smoke and dust, suddenly.

In this seemingly monotonous wasteland with no change in scenery, suddenly, there seemed to be another streak of gray-black dust on the horizon, rising between the sky and the earth, as if it was sweeping towards the wasteland and the convoy.

In the chariot, Yue Hanzhang threw up a slightly gray-black pill in his hand. He saw the half-real and half-imaginary Black-Feathered Dragon Eagle whistle, and after swallowing the pill, it immediately turned into a handful of "spiritual fireworks" and dissipated in the air.

Yue Hanzhang has smoothly mastered [Imperial Spirit·Black-Feathered Dragon Eagle], and is exploring how to control the limits and boundaries of the spirit form.

At this moment, the monster's spirit disappeared without a trace in such a gorgeous way.

Yue Hanzhang, who had restrained his extraordinary Taoist magic, as well as Jiang Lingxiu and Huang Zhishu beside him, all fixed their eyes on the light screen of the mysterious black jade in the car.

Bring the thorough ultra high definition probe closer.

really.

Soon, the true appearance of the gray-black "smoke curtain" was revealed on the light screen as it approached from the distant sky.

It was a magnificent, huge city made of steel!
Although this comparison is not very appropriate, such a huge city is not much smaller than the capital of Qizhou.

In the fortified city, magnificent buildings of various heights are scattered across the city, slightly less sparse than in a provincial capital.

"The border town of Wuzhou..."

In the carriage, Yue Hanzhang sighed silently.

He clearly felt the obvious gap between the southern states and the northern states!
You have to know that this is just Wuzhou, the "north" among the southern states.

In fact, when I saw the monster-like outline, I subconsciously began to compare it with the capital of Qizhou, which is very telling.

It is so prosperous that it seems almost exaggerated.

But this moment.

Yue Hanzhang, however, didn't actually feel much envy.

His eyes fell on more places.

For example, the city wall is extremely disproportionate to the almost exaggerated size of the city, probably because it is a border town.

This city wall cannot even be compared with the strong city wall of Qizhou prefecture, let alone the city wall of the county prefecture. It is probably at the same level as the city wall of the base city that Yue Hanzhang had seen in the past.

If the monsters come like a tide.

Such a big city is like paper and cannot be defended at all.

Looking again, outside the city, there are large areas of suburbs that are almost being openly utilized.

It was as if... it was as if the prosperous inner city was gradually expanding, gradually expanding, and then "squeezing" the dark side of the entire city out of the city.

These shanty towns, which have sprung up one after another and have become even more wild because they have lost the discipline of the city, occupy large areas of suburbs and wasteland.

And almost accompanied by a slight deviation of the probe.

There were not many "gaps" left in the wasteland. Diagonally behind this huge city, another huge city suddenly appeared in the field of vision.

Just like the densely packed high-rise buildings in the giant city, the layout between the giant cities on the vast plains is also so dense. However, Yue Hanzhang, who had experienced bloody battles for a long time and experienced the blood and fire of the Jingjichuan defense line, saw these things at this moment, just like examining the defensive power of the city wall before.

His immediate thought was about the practical application of tactics.

What I thought was that if the first huge city was really shattered like paper in the face of the wave of monsters, and a large number of the densely populated people living in the huge city died under the iron hooves of the monsters, and even more fled out of the city in a panic.

escape?
There is no room for escape at all!
Such a dense and staggered layout of cities leaves no strategic flexibility or depth at all.

In fact, Yue Hanzhang had already anticipated a similar scene, and imagined that perhaps during the escape, the number of ordinary people who died on the road might be much greater than the casualties caused by the beasts.

And with the collapse of one huge city after another, the corrupt situation was far from being able to be cleaned up as easily as the sinking of Qizhou County.

The rot will spread far and wide.

Moreover, once the situation develops to that extent, perhaps what the huge city behind will need to face is no longer a wave of monsters, but a vast ocean formed by the gathering of defeated people!
And that's exactly what I thought of.

When Yue Hanzhang looked at the interlaced huge cities again, and the dense, staggered gray-black "smoke curtain", Yue Hanzhang felt instinctively out of tune with it.

He originally thought that the capital of Qizhou had already accumulated the ultimate in luxury and features of this extraordinary world.

It was not until I saw the border town of Wuzhou that I realized that the southern states were another world.

A world that makes Yue Hanzhang feel uncomfortable and out of place.

The border town of Wuzhou is already like this, what about Zhongzhou?

Where is the real Taoist Alliance headquarters in Zhongzhou?

And just as these thoughts were surging in Yue Hanzhang's heart.

When he could clearly see the vague outlines of those huge cities without the ultra-high-definition probe on the roof.

Suddenly.

By refining [Imperial Spirit·Black-Winged Dragon Eagle], he was able to put his essence, energy and spirit into his spiritual form, further extending it and resonating with the surrounding natural forms.

Yue Hanzhang's keen perception has reached a level never before reached.

now.

Just as Yue Hanzhang was looking at the outline of the huge city.

Boundless chill suddenly enveloped Yue Hanzhang's figure.

Subconsciously horrified.

Just as this huge convoy was about to leave Qizhou.

Far to the west, on the endless wasteland, in the distant sky beyond the smoke and haze.

The whistle's buzzing sound broke through the air and resounded through the sky.

In the dazzling extraordinary spiritual light, on a jade sword, there are nine human-shaped Taoist seals, five of which are solid and full of spirituality, and the remaining four are blurry and illusory.

Such a sword came from the west, and the moment the sword was revealed, it locked onto the chariot where Yue Hanzhang was from a distance!

"Sword cultivator! Sect weapon sword cultivator?!"

Accompanied by the angry roar of the team leader of the competition group, a great monk in the Nine Seal Golden Core Realm.

In the carriage, Yue Hanzhang's shoulders shook, and in an instant, a Taoist crown condensed. When the spiritual light fell again, Yue Hanzhang's figure disappeared in the original place.

Pure thunder and fire leaped on the spot!
