Chapter 2009 City Against City!

During the long conversation, Li Yao had been thinking hard on why ‘Fist King’ Lei Zonglie had been showing friendly gestures to him .

But he could not figure out the answer no matter how hard he thought . He did not know what the purpose of the famous, intimidating ‘Fist King’ was at all .

Li Yao was of a mind to go to Lei Zonglie for a sincere talk or even reveal the truth of the Land of Sins to him .

After all, from what Lei Zonglie had said just now, he could easily tell that the spectral Cultivator was a disobedient, unrestrained lunatic who would in no way allow the angels, or the Immortal Cultivators, to sh*t on his neck without doing anything .

But he did not know what kind of surveillance the Immortal Cultivators had imposed on Lei Zonglie and if they would grow suspicious about himself after the two of them met . If he was locked onto by the Immortal Cultivators, it would be quite a headache .

After thinking for a long time, Li Yao planned to wait until the fierce fight tomorrow was over . Or maybe he could find an opportunity in the middle of the fierce fight when the battlefield was occupied by turbulent spiritual waves and smoke to communicate with Lei Zonglie without alarming anybody else and tell the guy part of the truth .

Getting to the bottom of it, Li Yao quite admired the crazy man .

Born and raised in a paradise of slaughter, he did not limit his ambition to becoming the master of a tiny Elysian World . Instead, he wanted to unite the Land of Sins and even shoot down the City in the Sky!

His ambition that bordered on arrogance was enough for Li Yao to raise a thumb for him . At least, the man was ten thousand times better than the ignorant, animalistic bandits .

It was a shame that ‘Fist King’ Lei Zonglie had terribly underestimated the dreadfulness of the Immortal Cultivators .

The City in the Sky was only one millionth of the Immortal Cultivators’ strength . Beyond the infinite firmament that had been blocked, an enormous Imperium of True Human Beings was still standing!

The Immortal Cultivators had probably long noticed the Fist King’s ambition, but like a mantis waving its forelegs at a tank, he did not scare the Immortal Cultivators at all but was simply considered to be a rather interesting game .

If Li Yao had not arrived in the Land of Sins by chance, the Fist King’s ambition would never be realized . Perhaps, in Liberty City, the very first stop after he embarked on his journey, he would be exterminated by the ‘players’ and the ‘tourists’ in mockery and disdain .

But for right now…

Whether ‘Fist King’ Lei Zonglie is a ferocious bandit or not, he is at least a tough man with a backbone .

Such a tough man deserved to die valiantly in a real battlefield if he had to be killed instead of being insulted, tricked, and suffocated by the Immortal Cultivators as a chess piece and a toy!

The pride, dignity, courage, ambition, and even craziness of human beings when they were faced with the vast sky—Li Yao would never watch the Immortal Cultivators to stomp on them . Never!

“We want to sabotage ‘Manjusaka, the City in the Sky’, and the Fist King is planning to do the same thing,” the mental devil said . “This is an ally that we can temporarily cooperate with . Also, I vaguely felt that his strength is a hundred times higher than what he demonstrated during the fight with ‘Bloody Butcher’ Lei Kuang during the day . He seems to have sealed and camouflaged his real strength with some sort of special art . I don’t know how to describe it, but it feels like he is only in his ‘first form’ right now!”

“Are you serious?” Li Yao’s soul released glamorous brilliance as he was greatly interested . “In that case, it will be very exciting . The Immortal Cultivators are under the impression that everything in the Land of Sins is within their control . Little do they know that nobody can control everything!

“The Fist King does not look like a bragger . So, on what grounds is he confident in conquering all the Elysian Worlds and even waging a war on the City in the Sky, and why is he subtly showing friendliness to us?

“The answer to everything will probably be revealed tomorrow, won’t it?”

On the sleepless night, Li Yao quietly warmed up his soul and revitalized it .

Chances were that he would have to unleash all his strength tomorrow in a gratifying battle to smash the man-eating ‘paradise’ into smithereens!

When the glimmers of dawn shot into the room through the observation hole on the top of Great Iron City, the soul-stirring sirens and thunderous sounds echoed again .

This time, even the floor below their feet was shaking hard in fulminations .

Li Yao, Han Te, and Liu Li looked out through the observation holes, only to discover that the earth was retreating quickly and that the rocks and mud ahead of Great Iron City were moving sideways only to be crushed into powder by the sixteen enormous tracks .

Leading the charge, Great Iron City was moving at Liberty City at a high speed!

Nobody expected that the Fist King would be so insane that he had transformed a battle to attack the city into a collision of two cities!

The sirens and thunderous noises grew louder and louder, almost ripping apart and detonating every part of Li Yao’s, Han Te’s, and Liu Li’s souls!

It was needless to mention the bandits and thugs who did not enjoy enough fighting yesterday . Seeing that Great Iron City was running at Liberty City unstoppably, they knew that it was the day to go all out . They would either become the new masters of the Elysian World or die without a burial . The brutality deep inside their bones was activated, and their morale became higher than ever . Like a million maddened beasts, they followed Great Iron City closely and charged forward!

Smoke and airwaves spread out, and the roars of chainswords and vibration sabers echoed among the clouds!

Even the battlefield seemed unable to bear the astonishing morale of the Fist King’s army . The air was filled with the smell of burning sulfur!

“Look!” Liu Li suddenly pointed at the Star Plasma Cannon right in the front of Great Iron City .

On the enormous cannon that looked like an enlarged, erect male organ, ‘Fist King’ Lei Zonglie held his arms and stood majestically, with the magnificent flag of the crowned fist that was a bane for all sinners in the Land of Sins on his shoulder!

His aura seemed to have frozen the air around him, and he seemed able to compete with the entire Liberty City all by himself . He simply stood at the frontmost part of the entire battle formation, facing the defense line of Liberty City that had been fixed in a hurry last night .

“How… awesome!”

Han Te could not help but swallow hard . He looked at Li Yao subconsciously and said, “I wonder, was Grandpa Yao as impressive as the Fist King during his prime?”

“Well…” Li Yao could not help but recall the day when he led twelve Colossi to break into the Black Wind Fleet’s battle formation in the Tartarean Skeleton .

In terms of pomp and circumstance, ‘Fist King’ Lei Zonglie had more or less reached one tenth of his expertise . The man was truly incredible!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Hiu! Hiu! Hiu!

Crack! Crack! Crack!

From Liberty City, thousands of rays and storms of destruction were raised and smashed at Great Iron City .

In humming sounds, the thousands of rune arrays on Great Iron City released colorful spiritual energy that formed a semicircular shield, blocking all the attacks . Countless fireballs exploded into an arc-shaped ocean of fire, as if they had cladded Great Iron City with a burning coat of fire .

The Fist King was absolutely motionless despite the scourge of the hot waves and the blasts, his flag flying in the wind as defiantly as before . He looked even more unstoppable and invincible .

“Why is he still not using the Star Plasma Cannon but taking the blows while doing nothing?”

Han Te was so scared as he was watching that his fists were sweating hard .

The meat last night had somehow bought the two little fellows and made them take the Fist King’s side without them knowing it . They sincerely hoped that the crazy man could succeed—or at least not fail so fast .

“He is waiting,” Li Yao explained . “He will not open fire until he is close enough . ”

“Close enough?” Han Te was stunned . “How close?”

“About the distance where the muzzle can be pressed against the leader of Liberty City’s nose,” Li Yao said casually . “He is going to blow up Liberty City’s shield of defense in one attack . ”

Great Iron City was still marching forward unstoppably, like a heavy mountain .

However fierce Liberty City’s barrage was, and however badly the shield of Great Iron City was torn apart, the Fist King did not take action at all . He did not even bother to furrow his metal eyebrow .

The Star Plasma Cannon released ripples of air that were getting more and more scorching and aggressive . It seemed as if it would melt the next second if it was still not launched!

Finally…

Against Liberty City’s defensive fire, Great Iron City moved forward stubbornly to only one kilometer away from the first defense line .

The crazily spreading ripples around the Star Plasma Cannon were also so intense that the three-dimensional space was almost ripped apart .

Swoosh!

The Star Plasma Cannon opened fire fiercely . A sun seemed to have hit the defense shield of Liberty City brutally .

The entire Liberty City was moaning and shivering . Dangerous electric arcs and flashes of light popped out of the void . The previously invisible barrier was left with an ugly gap in it!

The moment the Star Plasma Cannon opened fire, the Fist King disappeared from the barrel and crawled through the defense shield of Liberty City through the gap that had been torn apart!

The first defense line of Liberty City was immediately plagued by smoke and explosions . Everything was falling apart . The pivots that supported the defense arrays were blown up one after another!

Great Iron City did not stop pressing forward at all . Crumbled by the sixteen enormous tracks, any barricades, trenches, and landmines were not enough to stop the giant war machine .

The Fist King’s army that closely followed it hit the defense line like an iron tide, swallowing the entire defense line immediately .

Most of the gangs and bandits had better hopes for ‘Fist King’ Lei Zonglie in the first place . So many people had taken his side that the attackers outnumbered the defenders more than three to one .

Seeing the Fist King’s fearless, insane performance, all the bandits and thugs seemed to have been injected with ten doses of exhilarants . They were all charging forward without caring about anything .

The greatest problem of the defenders was that other than Xiahou Wuxin’s trusted subordinates who had been lurking inside Liberty City the whole time, the bandits that were drafted temporarily were not determined to live and die with Liberty City at all .

Even worse, seeing that the Fist King’s army was coming unstoppably, some of them even changed their attitude and defected immediately, hoping to save their lives and share the benefits after the war was over .
