Chapter 756 Who would kill that scumbag?

"Activate the city's defensive shield." After observing for a while, Chen Guan gave the order directly.

Gong Shunyi muttered from the side, "The others haven't even started attacking yet, and you're already activating the city's defenses. If they don't come to attack, should you keep the defenses active or not?"

"Keep it running, but the vital energy is constantly being depleted. Who can withstand that?"

"Shut it down, and if the Heavenly Army takes this opportunity to attack, won't you be in a dilemma?"

He didn't look at Chen Guan at all when he spoke, as if he were talking to himself, but every word he said was like a knife to the heart.

The key point is that what he said wasn't without reason. The other families were also puzzled as to why Chen Guan would activate the city's defensive shield at this time.

They looked at Chen Guan, waiting for his explanation.

However, Chen Guan did not intend to explain. He simply ordered the city's defensive shield to be activated immediately, and at maximum power.

The red city defense shield quickly enveloped the entire sky above the Southern Heaven Kingdom.

The city's defensive shield had only been formed for a dozen seconds when rolling lightning bolts descended from the sky. Bolts of lightning, thicker than buckets, continuously struck the shield, and soon the entire Southern Heaven Kingdom was submerged in an endless sea of ​​lightning.

Everyone was horrified. Gong Shunyi, who was about to say something sarcastic, also shut his mouth. Looking at the city defense shield swaying in the sea of ​​lightning, his face turned pale.

No one expected that Xiu Jieming would launch such a brutal attack right from the start.

Moreover, this is definitely not the level of a few corps using combined attacks, but rather the result of more than a million troops using combined attacks simultaneously in an organized and planned manner.

Being able to command an army of over a million to use such a combined attack technique is an extremely difficult task for an ordinary commander.

Just moments ago, the more than one million Heavenly Army soldiers were still dividing their forces, deploying to seize advantageous positions, and some were even setting up camp.

In just a short time, the army suddenly assembled and unleashed such a terrifying combined attack.

How long has Xiu Jieming been in charge of the Twenty-Four Route Army? And most of that time has been spent integrating and on the road.

To be able to command an army of over a million to such an extent is beyond description; it can't even be described as genius.

If Chen Guan hadn't activated the city's defensive shield in time, and had only come up to do this, the Southern Heaven Kingdom would probably have already fallen, and there would have been no need to fight at all.

"Who just said 'who's coming'?" Zhang Chunxiang looked at Gong Shunyi with a mocking expression.

Gong Shunyi's face flushed red, but he had nothing to say and could only sulk to himself.

"Fortunately, the Imperial Advisor is a prophet. How did you know that Xiu Jieming would pull such a stunt?" Qin Qiu asked curiously.

Xiu Jieming's move was completely unexpected; no one anticipated such a move, which is why it was so difficult to defend against. However, Chen Guan had anticipated it.

After watching the attack outside the city, Chen Guan immediately went to his post and scattered in the blink of an eye, as if nothing had happened. He said with a complicated expression, "Xiu Jieming has a nickname in the Heavenly Court Army: the Whip of Heaven."

“The whip is a weapon that is both hard and soft, and its variations are endless, making it impossible to defend against. When you face it, you must be 200% careful. Even so, you may still not be able to guess its thoughts and be tricked by it, so you must never be careless.” “No wonder the Heavenly Court Army let him lead this battle. Fortunately, you were here, otherwise we would have suffered a great loss right from the start,” Zhang Chunman said.

"That's why they say you can never be defeated if you know yourself and your enemy. The Imperial Advisor knows the Heavenly Army and their commander inside and out. We will definitely win this battle." Gong Shunyi had just calmed down for a while when an elder from the Sima family who followed the Gong family spoke with veiled sarcasm.

While seemingly praising Chen Guan, it subtly points out that Chen Guan is a traitor to the Heavenly Court army.

"What's your name?" Chen Guan suddenly asked the elder of the Sima family.

"I am Sima Jiannan, the current Grand Elder of the Sima family. Entrusted by the family head, I have come to assist the Imperial Preceptor in suppressing the rebellious Heavenly Court army," Elder Sima said with a smile.

"Very well, the Sima family truly lives up to its reputation as a model of benevolence and righteousness. Since you have said you are here to help me quell the rebellion, then please Elder Sima, lead the members of the Sima family to form an vanguard battalion, leave the city immediately, attack the rebel camp, and capture the rebel commander Xiu Jieming." Chen Guan said firmly and forcefully, without looking to the side.

Sima Jiannan was stunned. Not only was he stunned, but everyone else was.

Sending Sima Jiannan and the Sima family out of the city to attack Xiu Jieming's main army camp—what kind of incredible move is that?

Isn't this sending the entire Sima family to their deaths? This is blatant revenge, and in front of so many people at that! It's far too brazen!

As a head coach, this is far too frivolous.

"Grand Preceptor, such a joke is absolutely unacceptable." Sima Jiannan's expression changed, and he said to Chen Guan with a cold face, "We are not taking your money or any benefits, nor are we your old friends. We are only here to risk our lives to help you fight against the Heavenly Army so that the people of the world can have a way to survive, and so that we can uphold justice."

"With the Heavenly Army at our doorstep, instead of thinking about how to fight them, you're only thinking about how to kill those who helped you. What are your true intentions?"

Everyone watched Chen Guan, waiting to see how he would respond to Sima Jiannan's accusations.

"Military orders are absolute, Sima Jiannan. I'll ask you one more time: are you going to battle or not?" Chen Guan simply said this, completely ignoring Sima Jiannan's accusations.

"Such inhumane, heinous, and destructive military orders that cause pain to loved ones and joy to enemies are ones we cannot obey. Since the Grand Preceptor dislikes us, then our Sima family will withdraw. This will prevent the Grand Preceptor from resorting to all sorts of schemes to harm his own people and from focusing on dealing with the Heavenly Army." Sima Jiannan said, and then tried to signal the Sima family to leave.

"Sima Jiannan, do you think this is a game? Military law is military law. Since you're here, you must abide by it, whether you like it or not, whether you accept it or not. All my orders, even if it means your death, must be obeyed immediately. That's a soldier's duty." Chen Guan waved his hand as he watched the Sima family members trying to leave. "Sima Jiannan and his entire family have disobeyed military orders. Their crime deserves death. The evidence is conclusive. No need for deliberation. Execute immediately."

The Sima family was stunned when they heard Chen Guan say that.

"How dare you? Chen Guan, have we been too lenient with you? You really think you're something special? Don't you understand yet? You're just a tool. The ten major families call the shots here. Ask around, who here would kill me?" Sima Jiannan roared in fury.

"Who would kill a scumbag?" Chen Guan asked with a half-smile.

"I will." Someone actually answered.

Sima Jiannan was furious, but when he turned around, he froze, his expression frozen in place.

A sword severed his head, and Jiang Qiemo entered the arena, his Blinking Divine Sword still dripping blood.
