Supreme Golden Palace

Chapter 181 Divine General (Part 1)

The next day, the morning mist was shaken by the war drums, and the moment Ji An waved the command flag, the five infantry brigades of the E Kingdom surged toward Xudu like a black tide.

The black battle flags of the Southern Yan fluttered in the wind as Ji Shi stood on a four-horse carriage, with armored soldiers surging behind her like an iron torrent.

"Form ranks!"

Ebo Ji'an roared, and the five infantry brigades spread out in a goose-feather formation, their long spears tilting like a forest, their tips pointing directly at the walls of Xudu.

The chariots of the two states of Qi and Yin were divided into two wings, with three hundred chariots lined up side by side, colliding with each other and scattering sparks.

Compared to the menacing atmosphere outside Xudu City, the city walls of Xudu were unusually quiet.

Lu Shang stood in his armor, coldly watching the surging tide of armored soldiers below the city.

"Broken city! Broken city!"

The Southern Yan soldiers roared, their blood boiling, and charged straight towards Xuchang.

Seeing that the armored soldiers from the four kingdoms were gradually assembling their battle formations, preparing to launch a full-scale attack on Xu City, Lü Shang snorted coldly and shouted, "Bring me my weapons!"

"Take the king's weapon!" shouted the Xu soldiers on the city wall.

In a short while, two thick iron clubs, each as thick as a child's arm, were lifted onto the city wall by four armored soldiers. The clubs were wrapped in oil-soaked tanned cowhide, with nine bronze hoops wrapped around the seams, gleaming with a cold, bluish light in the morning light.

Zheng!
Lu Shang placed his palms on the head of the staff and gently twisted it. The leather wrapping tore open, revealing a three-inch-long triangular iron spike at the end of the staff.

"Get out of the way,"

With weapons in hand, a sense of invincibility naturally welled up in Lü Shang's heart, he said in a deep voice.

The armored soldiers on the city wall responded with a resounding roar, retreating three steps in unison, leaving a space of three zhang (approximately 10 meters).

clang!
He lifted the iron bar on his right with one arm, tested its feel, and sparks flew as the iron spikes collided.

These two heavy iron clubs were forged by Wu Wenhe after he killed Aohun with his fists. Wu Wenhe was asked to find Xuan Tie and Shen Jin to forge them separately.

It doesn't possess any magical weapons or magical artifacts that can be transformed at will; all it has is sturdiness, durability, and a substantial weight in your hand.

"good,"

Lu Shang raised his staff above his head with both hands, his gaze sweeping over the armored soldiers of the four kingdoms below.

Then, he squatted down, his armor gleaming in the morning light, and his feet slammed into the rammed earth of the city wall. His knuckles turned white from gripping the staff too hard, and the veins on his forearms snaked up his neck.

"Indeed quite impressive," Lü Shang roared to the sky, then, taking advantage of the terrain atop the city wall, he crashed down with a thunderous roar.

The massive iron club, carrying the force of thunder, struck the first rank of armored soldiers attacking the city. Their flesh and blood were instantly shattered into pieces, and blood and foam splattered onto the battle flags below the city, staining the character '鄂' (E) crimson.

Then, Lü Shang's second strike swept out, the long club like a black meteor, piercing into the long spear formation of the E State infantry.

"Hahaha,"

Lu Shang struck his two clubs together, the sound like a dragon's roar piercing the clouds, causing the ears of the allied soldiers at the front to ring.

"bring it on,"

Facing thousands of armored soldiers, Lü Shang wielded his double clubs, like a thunder god beating a heavenly drum.

The explosive shockwave sent armored soldiers within a hundred paces flying backwards.

The infantry formation of the E Kingdom, which was originally as solid as an iron wall, now resembled waves plowed by a giant whale. Wherever the clubs passed, only limbs and broken bones were left.

Sweeping left and right, the two clubs spun into two balls of black light, and the black armor cracked like paper under the iron spikes. Before the soldiers could even scream, their brains were smashed and splattered onto their comrades' shields.

"Kill!" A fierce warrior raised his spear to meet him, but Lü Shang swung his single club, smashing the man and his spear into mincemeat, while his other club smashed a shield to dust.

"this,"

Ebo Ji'an watched from his chariot with eyes wide with rage. Lü Shang's fighting prowess had clearly exceeded his expectations. He hurriedly waved his command flag to adjust the rear guard's formation.

However, just as the five infantry units were about to turn around, they saw Lü Shang enter their ranks as if they were in an empty field.

Rumble!
Even more terrifying was that with each step he took, the ground cracked open in a spiderweb pattern, and when the two clubs slammed heavily into the center of the E State's battle formation, the earth shook violently.

"Tanks! Run him over with tanks!"

The envoy from the State of Qi roared and waved his command flag. Three hundred chariots turned like an iron torrent, their bronze chariot bridles gleaming coldly in the sunlight.

The warhorses neighed, raising clouds of dust that blotted out the sky, but Lü Shang neither dodged nor avoided them.

The chariots, their iron torrents carrying rubble, hurtled towards us like ferocious fangs.

Facing this torrent of iron, Lü Shang slammed his double clubs heavily into the ground.

Then, in a flash, he unleashed his power, his right staff striking like a dragon emerging from the sea. The thousand-pound chariot was overturned by this single blow, its bronze shaft shattering inch by inch.

At this moment, Lü Shang's martial prowess continued to rise. With two clubs in hand, he was simply unstoppable, a force to be reckoned with.

Although he was only a Supreme Being in the Great Wilderness, at this moment, even if a god were to appear in the world, he would still be struck by his iron rod. Anyone who blocked his way would die if they were hit, and even more so if they were bumped into.

After all, Lü Shang had already achieved a near-immortal status in the world of Jambudvipa, almost reaching the level of a martial arts immortal, and his martial prowess was comparable to that of a Taoist earth immortal.

The Taoist Earth Immortals of the Jambudvipa world are comparable to the Great Wilderness Gods in terms of their cultivation level.

It should be understood that, unlike the gods and monsters of the Jambudvipa world who frequently manifest their divine power, earth immortals are merely an intermediate level among them.

Although the people of the Great Wilderness Mountains and Seas are naturally strong and possess the divine blood of their ancestors, since the Black Emperor Gaoyang severed the connection between heaven and earth, beings above the level of Earth Immortal have ascended to heaven one after another. The Great Wilderness Gods and Humans of the same level as Earth Immortals are already powerful beings who can influence a region.

In the nine provinces of the human world, the only power levels above gods and humans are the Emperor and the Four Sacred Mountains.

boom!
Suddenly, a ravine several feet deep split open in the center of the E Kingdom's battle formation. The shockwave generated by Lü Shang's double clubs swept sand and gravel straight into the sky, causing the battle flags that blotted out the sky to flutter upside down.

The vanguard of the Qi state's 300 chariots was shaken by the impact, causing the horses to jerk and the chariots to overturn. The bronze chariot axles pierced the soil, spewing forth tongues of fire ten feet high. The armored charioteers were flung around like kites with broken strings, tracing horrific arcs in the air.

"Spell, use spell!"

Seeing this, Nan Yan Ji Shi hurriedly shouted, and the shamans behind the carriage immediately began to perform the Yu Step, while twenty-eight black flags painted with images of Fei Lian were waved at the same time.

Dark clouds gathered over the battlefield. Large raindrops pelted Lü Shang's armor, bursting into mist. Lü Shang laughed loudly, then slammed his clubs together, shattering the rain curtain.

"Do you think you can stop me with mere magic?"

Lü Shang crushed a piece of chariot wreckage, used his left staff to lift three armored soldiers from the E Kingdom and fling them toward the rain clouds, and swept his right staff across, creating a dragon of earth dozens of feet long.

The earth dragon, carrying sand and gravel, roared out and smashed the shamans who were forming an array, scattering them to pieces. The tortoise shell artifact in the hand of the chief shaman cracked into three pieces with a 'crack', and the dark clouds instantly dissipated like boiling water.

"Kill! Kill! Kill them all!"

When Ji An saw that the witchcraft had failed, she clenched her teeth until they bled, and fiercely waved her command flag, summoning her most treasured Iron Guards, three hundred elite archers clad in black iron armor and carrying twelve three-edged armor-piercing arrows on their backs.

As the bowstring hummed, iron arrows shot up like locusts, but Lü Shang wielded his two clubs to form a perfectly round shield of light, and every arrowhead that touched the black light turned to dust.

As the sounds of defeat gradually spread, Lü Shang drew his two clubs and charged toward the heart of the allied forces.

Where the black light passed, chariots shattered, armor crumbled, and blood and bone splattered.
