I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 2071 The war begins

Yao Guangxiao waved his hand and interrupted Liu Jun: "Alright, Liu Jun, we haven't known each other for long, but we have experienced life and death several times. Don't you know us? We are not the kind of people who run away from the battlefield. Besides, this level of battle is not something you can encounter casually. Being able to participate in it is also a rare experience for me."

Tiger patted his chest and said heroically, "That's right! We brothers have seen all kinds of storms and waves. Even if the opponent is the king of the world tonight, we have to bring him down!"

The ape man nodded, with a firm look in his eyes: "Liu Jun, stop trying to persuade me. Since we are brothers, we must live and die together. We will accompany you in this battle tonight."

Liu Jun looked at the brothers who had shared life and death with him, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. He knew that no matter how much he tried to persuade them, it would be useless, as they had already made up their minds to fight alongside him.

He took a deep breath, his eyes became firm again: "Okay, since you have all decided, let's face it together tonight. However, you must be careful, the opponent's strength is extraordinary, if you are not careful, you may..."

Yao Guangxiao smiled and patted Liu Jun on the shoulder: "Don't worry, we are not the kind of reckless people. Besides, with you, the God King, here, what do we have to be afraid of?"

Liu Jun nodded, a look of determination flashed in his eyes: "Okay, then we will face this fierce battle together."

Several people stood on the city wall, looking into the distance with determined eyes. The night wind whistled, as if cheering them on. In the darkness in the distance, there seemed to be endless dangers hidden, but they had no intention of retreating.

Liu Jun knew in his heart that tonight's battle would be a life-and-death contest, but he was not alone. With these brothers around him, he was fearless.

"Let's go, time is running out, we have to be prepared." Liu Jun said in a low voice, then turned and walked down the city wall.

The tiger, the ape man and Yao Guangxiao followed closely behind. Their figures gradually moved away in the night and disappeared in the shadow of the city wall.

On the city wall, the only sound was the whistling wind in one's ears, as if foreshadowing the coming storm.

At midnight, the night was as dark as ink, no stars could be seen, and only a slight chilly breeze was blowing.

Liu Jun stood on the city wall again, but his heart was as heavy as the night, and he felt uneasy like a tide. He looked into the distance, trying to see the existence in the darkness.

At this moment, a cold light streaked across the night sky, like a shooting star, and headed straight for Liu Jun's brows.

The speed of the cold light was so fast that it was almost impossible to react. Liu Jun's pupils suddenly shrank, and his body instinctively retreated several steps. He quickly drew out the Dark Sword and swung it. The sword light was like a rainbow, and he barely knocked the cold light away after several consecutive strikes. Even so, his arm was numb from the shock, and his palm was aching slightly, and he was even more horrified.

"Is this the strength of a Half-step God King realm late stage strong man?" Liu Jun was secretly shocked. He had fought against the Eight-Winged Feather Emperor before, and he would not be able to fend off a Half-step God King realm middle stage strong man so thrillingly, so the one who made the move must be a Half-step God King realm late stage strong man.

He thought that the opponent, a powerful late-stage Half-Step God King, would target him, but he didn't expect that the opponent's casual attack would make him almost unable to defend.

Liu Jun took a deep breath, suppressed the shock in his heart, and looked up at the sky with a serious look.

In the sky, more than sixty figures stood in the air, each of them exuding a powerful aura, as if all the pressure between heaven and earth was concentrated on them.

Liu Jun was even more shocked. He had never thought that the other side had so many Half-step Divine King Realm experts. If these people attacked at the same time, the entire city wall would probably collapse in an instant.

"Hmm? Is there something?" Deputy Palace Master Black Hand stood in the air, his eyebrows slightly raised, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He thought that this blow was enough to kill Liu Jun, but he didn't expect that he could take it. He sneered, with a hint of mockery in his eyes, as if he was looking at a struggling ant.

Liu Jun clenched the Dark Sword in his hand. Although he was shocked, he did not retreat. He knew that he had no way to retreat at this moment and could only fight to the death.

At the same time, the sound of war drums could be heard from afar. The coalition forces of Platinum Divine Realm and Celestial City had begun their attack. The sound of war drums resounded through the sky like thunder, as if announcing the coming of a catastrophe. The soldiers on the city wall clenched their weapons, their eyes filled with tension and fear.

Liu Jun stood on the city wall, feeling the vibration under his feet, and knew in his heart that the decisive battle was coming.

The Half-Step God King Realm powerhouses belonging to their Skyfire Divine Realm also reacted extremely quickly. In less than a minute after Liu Jun was attacked, they all appeared around the city wall.

The appearance of these strong men undoubtedly brought a great sense of security to the soldiers on the city wall. However, when these strong men saw more than 60 figures coming towards them, their hearts sank.

Compared with the more than 60 figures that came to kill them, the twenty or so of them seemed much weaker. Although they were all strong men at the half-step God King level, the difference in numbers made them look particularly weak when facing the enemy.

However, they did not retreat a single step, but stood firmly on the city wall, ready to meet the coming battle.

"It's that Black Hand, that beast!" The moment Ancestor Yi Ning appeared, she locked her eyes on the Black Hand deputy hall master who was leading the group and wearing a golden cloak. Her eyes flashed with hatred, and she gnashed her teeth, wishing to kill the Black Hand deputy hall master immediately.

The grudge between Patriarch Yi Ning and Deputy Hall Master Hei Shou was no secret. Many years ago, Deputy Hall Master Hei Shou had personally killed Patriarch Yi Ning's beloved and devoured her soul. This hatred had always been buried deep in her heart. Now that she saw her enemy again, her anger was instantly ignited.

"Don't be impulsive!" The ancestor Yixie beside him hurriedly pulled the ancestor Yining. Although he knew why Yining hated him so much, the gap between the two realms was huge, and rushing forward would be a death sentence.

Ancestor Yixie was older than Ancestor Yining and usually treated her as his sister. He knew Yining's character very well and knew that once she was overwhelmed by hatred, the consequences would be disastrous. He held Ancestor Yining's arm tightly and tried to calm her down.

"Let me go! I can't wait any longer, I must take revenge today!" Elder Yi Ning's voice was full of determination, and her eyes were burning with the flame of revenge, as if to devour everything.

Patriarch Yixie frowned and said in a deep voice: "Yining, I know the pain in your heart, but now is not the time to be impulsive. Black Hand's strength is far superior to you and me. If we act rashly, we will only die in vain. We must wait for the opportunity and unite with other strong men to have a chance to defeat him."

Elder Yi Ning clenched her fists, her nails dug deep into her palms, blood dripping from her fingers. Her body trembled slightly, and she was obviously trying her best to suppress the impulse in her heart. After a moment, she took a deep breath, and the anger in her eyes subsided a little, but the seeds of hatred were still buried deep in her heart.

“Brother, you are right. I cannot let hatred cloud my reason.” Elder Ancestor Yining said in a low voice, but her eyes were still fixed on Deputy Hall Master Heishou, as if she wanted to engrave everything about him into her mind.

At the same time, the Black Hand deputy hall master stood opposite, his golden cloak fluttering in the wind. A sneer appeared on his lips, and his eyes swept across the Skyfire Divine Realm strongmen on the city wall, finally stopping at Ancestor Yi Ning.

“Yining, I haven’t seen you for many years, but you are still so impulsive.” The voice of the Black Hand Deputy Hall Master was cold and mocking. “You failed to save your beloved back then, and you can’t save the Skyfire Divine Realm today.”

Anger flared up in Ancestor Yining's eyes again, but she suppressed her inner impulse and responded coldly: "Black Hand, don't show off too early, maybe today is the day you die."

The Black Hand deputy hall master laughed loudly, his laughter full of disdain: "Death date? Just relying on you ants? How ridiculous!"

Before he finished speaking, more than 60 strong men behind him took a step forward, and their powerful momentum instantly pressed towards the city wall. The strong men of the Skyfire Divine Realm felt this pressure, and their hearts tightened, but they still stood firmly on the city wall, ready to face the upcoming battle.

Patriarch Yixie whispered to Patriarch Yining, "Yining, don't be impulsive. Wait for the elders, otherwise we alone will not be able to compete with him."

Elder Yining nodded without saying anything.

Liu Jun glanced at his companions and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, today's battle is related to the survival of the Skyfire Divine Realm. We must work together to have a glimmer of hope."

The strong men on the city wall nodded one after another, with a determined light in their eyes. They knew that this battle would be extremely difficult, but they had no choice but to fight to the death to protect their homeland.

At this moment, the Black Hand deputy hall master waved his hand, and the strong men behind him instantly rushed to the city wall. The battle was about to break out.

Ancestor Yi Ning took a deep breath, and the power in her body burst out instantly. She stood side by side with Ancestor Yi Xie, facing the oncoming enemy. There was no fear in their eyes, only firm belief.

"Kill!" The voice of Elder Yining resounded through the sky, instantly igniting everyone's fighting spirit.

The battle broke out in an instant, and the strong men of the Skyfire Divine Realm engaged in a fierce fight with the subordinates of the Black Hand Deputy Hall Master. Although they were at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, the strong men of the Skyfire Divine Realm temporarily resisted the enemy's attack with their tenacious will and tacit cooperation.

However, the strength of the Black Hand deputy hall master far exceeded everyone else, and every time he attacked, he brought great destruction. Ancestors Yi Ning and Yi Horseshoe Crab joined forces to fight him, but they were still at a disadvantage.

"Yining, be careful!" Ancestor Yixie suddenly shouted, but it was too late. The attack of the Black Hand Deputy Hall Master hit Ancestor Yining hard, and her body flew out like a kite with a broken string and fell heavily to the ground.

"Yi Ning!" Ancestor Yi Horseshoe Crab's eyes were red with anger, but he was unable to split himself, and the attack of Deputy Hall Master Black Hand came again.

Ancestor Yi Ning stood up with difficulty, a trace of blood flowing from the corner of her mouth. Her eyes were still firm, staring at the Black Hand Deputy Hall Master.

At this moment, a melodious flute sound suddenly broke the silence of the night sky, like the sound of nature, echoing in every corner of Nanjiang City.

The sound of the flute seemed to carry some kind of mysterious power that made people's hearts tremble, and even the air was filled with an indescribable sense of tension.

Then, a dazzling beam of light shot up from the ground and pierced the sky, instantly illuminating the entire Nanjiang City as bright as day. In the light, it seemed as if countless runes were flowing, exuding an ancient and powerful aura.

As the beam of light appeared, a deafening roar came from deep underground, as if an ancient beast had awakened from its slumber. The 100-meter-tall ancient war spirit that had once frightened countless powerful men appeared before everyone again.

It held a huge axe in its hand, and was wearing heavy armor, exuding a suffocating pressure from its entire body. It swung the huge axe violently, and a sharp axe light flashed by. The Half-Step Divine King Realm warrior didn't even have time to react before he was split in half, blood splattered everywhere, and the scene was extremely tragic.
