Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

"I never imagined that times would change so drastically. Even the heartland of Nicardi is on the verge of collapse, and not a single one of its retinues can be seen."

Wan Di nodded slightly.

“If Suspended Peak City still has its former troops, even if it’s only half of them, Aglaia is sending us to our deaths.”

"Half a success is equivalent to suicide? That's outrageous!" Yan Huan was somewhat surprised.

“That’s right.” Wan Di introduced them to the two:

“This is the outer corridor, which used to be heavily guarded. Even if you and I join forces, we can only go a maximum of thirty steps.”

“Yes,” Bai E also admitted.

"Hanging Peak City was once the place every warrior longed for."

He looked at Wan Di.

"Do you feel regretful that you didn't live in an era teeming with powerful people...?"

"If the heroes of the past had not all fallen, I would not be your only opponent."

"Are you scared? It's not too late to run away now." Wan Di glanced at Bai E.

Seeing the two of them start chatting, Yan Huan began to observe the surrounding ruins.

It looks like no one has been here for a long time; the dust on the ground hasn't been cleaned up.

The walls bear marks from various sharp weapons, making it hard to imagine how fierce the local people used to be.

Bai Er smiled and said:

"Haha, it reminds me of the warriors of the past who also marched along this corridor toward the holy land of the Spear of Heaven's Punishment, to gild their names."

"Even though this fortress is in ruins, what we are about to do is no different."

"Let's go." He looked at the two of them.

"Reclaim the flame of [conflict], or die beneath its blade—"

"We can only choose one of these two honors."

At this point, the three began to advance deeper into Suspended Peak City.

As Bai E walked, he teased Wan Di:

How does it feel to revisit this place?

The enemy has no expression:

"No, not here. I live in the inner city."

"Heh... No wonder he's the Crown Prince of Xuanfeng." Bai E chuckled.

After passing through the outer city, the three finally saw the gate of the inner city.

The buildings here are well-preserved and much more magnificent than those in the outer city.

"Finally, we can see the scattered soldiers." Wan Di, hiding behind the broken wall, scrutinized the Heavenly Punishment soldiers loitering in front of the inner city gate:

"They are all lowly pawns who have fallen into evil ways; the greatest mercy is to crush them cleanly and decisively."

He turned to look at Yan Huan, who was doing nothing.

"It's time for you to make your mark."

“Bai’er and I need to conserve our strength to deal with a greater threat... You go ahead and clear the way.”

"Huh? Is it my turn already? Okay..."

Yan Huan scratched his head, stepped out from behind the broken wall, raised his hands, and shouted to the Heavenly Punishment soldiers at the city gate:

"Hey everyone! Look at me, I have something to announce!!"

"?" The wandering Divine Punishment soldiers immediately noticed him and became fully alert.

"The Titans of Strife are nothing but a little brother—!! Suspended Peak belongs to our noble Lord Medemus!!"

“You bastard…” Wan Di narrowed his eyes.

At Yan Huan's shout, the Heavenly Punishment soldiers roared and surged towards her one after another.

Chapter 1196 You got it right, classmate.

"Little Sunflower Mom's Classroom is now open!"

Yan Huan took out chalk and started scribbling on the nearby city wall, saying to the charging monsters:

"What should I do if my child's cough just won't go away? Can anyone answer this question?!"

"Yay!!" The Heavenly Punishment soldier carrying a large cleaver was the first to arrive at Yan Huan's side, raising his hands and fiercely slashing at Yan Huan's head.

"Kids, please answer carefully, or you'll be thrown into the latrine!"

The next moment, the soldier of divine punishment was lifted off the ground and struggled to fly into the air.

It clutched its neck, kicked its legs wildly, and struggled desperately.

"Waaaaah!" At the same time, a second monster wielding a long spear came in front of Yan Huan, and with a flick of its wrist, the spear tip pierced towards Yan Huan's brow.

"Can't you even answer such a simple question?"

In an instant, the monster also flew off the ground, struggling painfully in the air.

Immediately afterwards, the army pressed in, forming an encirclement and attacking Yan Huan. The monsters had ferocious faces and let out deafening roars.

"Aaaaaaahh ...

But what awaited them was direct takeoff, struggling in the air, their lives slipping away.

Upon seeing this, the Heavenly Punishment soldiers, who had not yet taken off after comparing their positions, stopped in their tracks.

They weren't completely unconscious; they could still understand what Yan Huan was saying.

I vaguely remember that Yan Huan's question was, "What should I do if my child's cough just won't get better?"

Those born under divine punishment do not have a childhood and do not cough.

However, this situation did indeed occur among the young members of the Suspended Peak tribe who once lived here.

"Take...take medicine..." came the incoherent reply from a member of the Heavenly Retribution.

"Huh?" Yan Huan was clearly taken aback. "You guys are really good at talking."

"Emmm... taking medicine, huh? It's not quite right, but at least you answered. Since the student before you was so incompetent, I'll allow you to take a hit on me!"

"Thank you so much..."

The dagger-wielding member of the Heavenly Punishment approached Yan Huan shakily. Finding that he was not actually being controlled, he confidently raised his weapon and stabbed Yan Huan.

"Bang!!"

It made a crisp sound, like a knife stabbing into a steel wall.

"How does he have so many strange skills?" Wan Di looked at Bai E.

"Haha, it seems we've found the right ally," Bai E said with a faint smile.

"Speaking of which, he also has the ability to awaken the miracles of Oronis, so he can be considered a proper priest."

Ahead, Yan Huan addressed the Heavenly Punishment soldier who had stabbed him eighty-seven times in thirty seconds:

"Your time is up, classmate. It's time for the next one."

"Awooo!" The dagger soldier seemed to be in a frenzy, constantly stabbing Yan Huan's body with his dagger, sparks flying everywhere, like a welding operation.

"Not talking again? Silence will make you fly too!"

The bloodshot-eyed Heavenly Punishment soldier was instantly lifted off the ground, struggling as he was pulled into the sky, where he crashed into the other soldiers who had been crumpled into a large ball.

"Next, is anyone else going to answer?"

'Whoosh—!'

Countless hidden arrows struck, each one producing a crisp clanging sound as it hit Yan Huan.

A large number of Heavenly Punishment soldiers, armed with bows and arrows, hid in the corner and fired continuously at Yan Huan.

Yan Huan turned around and asked Wan Di:

"Were these Scourge soldiers this quiet before Nicardo went mad?"

"No, back then they were still quite willing to communicate with the Xuanfeng tribe," Wan Di explained, arms crossed.

"And now, they're more like mere puppets..."

"You're already quite lucky to have found someone who hasn't lost the ability to speak."

"Are talking creatures that rare?" Yan Huan recalled the scene back in Ohma.

At that time, two of the larger members of the Heavenly Punishment's Familiar spoke to Xia Die and mocked her for being incompetent.

"About one-tenth," Wan Di thought for a moment. "The stronger the Divine Condemn Warrior, the more fluent their language and thinking abilities."

"What remains are merely war puppets with only a lingering consciousness."

"What? You're really planning to try and communicate with them?" Wan Di raised an eyebrow.

"If you want any information, just ask us. There's no need to go through all that trouble."

"Or do you not trust us and plan to secretly leave a few Divine Punishment soldiers to take away for interrogation?"

"What are you saying!" Yan Huan killed several more Heavenly Punishment soldiers and replied:

"Didn't Aglaia say you've been away from Suspended Peak City for a long time? What would you possibly know? Why don't you capture prisoners if you can?"

"Do as you please, but don't end up crying on the ground if you get ambushed."

After some screening, Yan Huan finally found someone who was fairly smart.

"I...I know..."

This divinely punished companion did not attack Yan Huan; he simply stood at the very back until all his companions were dead before reluctantly stepping forward.

He waved his stone arm, raising his hand to answer questions just like a student.
