Chapter 223 Day Five · Salute Zhongzhou State
The gun, with mighty power, was standing still on the ground, but there was a kind of spirit that overwhelmed the world in it. It was an extraordinary gun.
The bulky gun was nearly ten feet long, and its whole body was jet-black. The black gun, which seemed to be made by nature, was engraved with dense embossed patterns. The patterns spread from the butt to the barrel and backed again. The intricate patterns connected at the extra-large trigger. All these were made naturally and smoothly.
Marvelous gun. World-shaking gun.
It didn’t seem ferocious or mighty, but it carried an air of irresistible majesty.
A big, slender hand grasped the gun, and the massive sniper rifle nearly three meters long was lifted by one hand and pointed to the distant sky outside the window.
With a gun in hand, one could smash the sky.
The unconquerable gun and the invincible person were peerless in the world.
“Good gun.”
Behind him came a sigh with a smile. “My nephew’s greatest wish in his life is to develop a genuine famous gun. We have Mad Shot and Skyattack, but they are all failures. He still has a long way to go to produce a real famous gun.”
“The best is what works well. The famous gun is indeed powerful, but how many people can exert its maximum power? Even if I can pull the trigger, the trigger cannot touch the bottom. I am never able to exert its maximum power. What a pity. It must have been the loneliest for centuries.”
Wang Tianzong stroked the big black gun in his hand.
The jet-black sniper rifle radiated light. The body of the gun seemed to be slightly twisted, and the intricate patterns rippled into other shapes.
“Famous guns are all alive. If you insist on making one using inanimate objects, how can you achieve what you wish?”
Wang Tianzong grabbed the big black gun and continued to speak.
“I am an old man and doesn’t understand this. Let him study it. At least it’s not a bad thing.”
Dongcheng Hanguang said, smiling, as he stood behind Wang Tianzong.
Wang Tianzong smiled and said nothing.
The patriarch of the Wang family of Beihai.
The old patriarch of the Dongcheng Clan.
The two together were of great significance to the whole Zhongzhou State.
In fact, when the seven-day time limit of East Island reached Zhongzhou State, the Wang family of Beihai and Kunlun City had already started a series of contests. Although the contest this time was short-lived, it was quite fierce, and the final result finally came out in the early morning of the fifth day. Wang Tianzhong appeared by Dongcheng Hanguang’s side, while Gu Xingyun stayed in Huating.
The outcome was clear, but it was hard to say who exactly suffered a loss.
“Old Master, did I disappoint you by appearing here?”
Wang Tianzong asked with a chuckle and turned around with a faint smile on his face.
“Are there any differences? It’s just a deal.”
Dongcheng Hanguang spoke in a calm tone. Having retired for many years, he paid no attention to the affairs of human life. He didn’t beat around the bush and was surprisingly frank. “Neither you nor Gu Xingyun is the person I want. I’m unwilling to give anyone the bargaining chip of this deal, but I have to. I see no difference between you two.”
“There’s a difference.”
Wang Tianzong looked calmly out of the window. “I know who you have in mind. Situ Cangyue is not in Zhongzhou State. Even if she is here, she might not be able to survive this battle. By contrast, I consider myself the most suitable choice to come here.”
Dongcheng Hanguang shook his head and smiled. “Maybe.”
They were in the sky above Nanyun border. The helicopter was flying at a low altitude, and its rotors were roaring in the wind. Looking down from the cabin window, the canopies of the virgin forest below rose and fell like waves as the helicopter advanced.
“Who do you think will come this time?”
Dongcheng Hanguang suddenly asked.
“Who knows? It’s such a fantastic game. Someone must come here. By the way, I assume it’s a big name. I’ll know who it is until I see the person.”
Wang Tianzong gave a casual reply.
“You’re confident.”
Dongcheng Hanguang’s tone was indifferent. No one was able to tell whether he just sighed with emotion or sneered at Wang Tianzong.
Wang Tianzong whispered in a calm tone, “I am invincible.”
Dongcheng Hanguang snorted. He seemed to want to refute, but he did not know how to do that, so he could only close his eyes and rest his mind.
“Why should you be angry? Although the Wang family of Beihai took advantage of the Dongcheng Clan this time, you’ll get something in return in the future. Brother Wudi’s days in the Border Control Corps are numbered, aren’t they?” The Wang family of Beihai is willing to contribute to the future layout.”
Wang Tianzong suddenly said with a smile, sounding sincere.
Dongcheng Hanguang said in a somewhat cold voice without opening his eyes. “If Gu Xingyun were standing here, he could have given me more.”
“Indeed.”
Wang Tianzong continued with a chuckle. “But unfortunately, he can’t come. You have gained a lot in the trilateral game, Old Master. Why do you take it seriously?”
“We’ve given out enough.”
Dongcheng Hanguang sneered, his face impassive. “If the Dongcheng Clan had an Invincible Realm expert, why should I let you guys take advantage of me now?”
“Dongcheng Clan’s Martial Arts specialize in killing intent, and your clan did once produce a famous figure in the Dark World. That person should be someone of the older generation. Am I right, Old Master? Later, you guys intended to merge your Martial Arts with that of Jade Pool, trying to combine the killing intent with the outburst of power. Now, it doesn’t seem to work very well. Maybe already...”
“It is still not the final conclusion.”
Dongcheng Hanguang interrupted Wang Tianzong. “It’s only been two generations. The Dongcheng Clan will definitely have the strongest Invincible Realm masters, either now or later.”
“Is it?”
Wang Tianzong responded by asking with a smile, but there was a strange glow in his eyes.
Dongcheng Hanguang’s face changed slightly, as if he had sensed that his statement was a slip of the tongue. He glared at Wang Tianzong and said no more.
The helicopter flew over the virgin forest and quickly approached the border.
“They are coming.”
Wang Tianzong looked out of the window and spoke suddenly.
In their sight, the 10,000 soldiers of the Thunderbolt Battalion led by Dongcheng Wudi had already appeared in front of them. Farther away, through the virgin forest, from their vantage point above the helicopter, they saw a multitude of figures constantly rushing forward.
Innumerable figures were charging forward one after another. It was the territory of Annan State, but the leading troops had already crossed the border of Zhongzhou State.
They were advancing in a formidable array.
Like a black tide.
Dongcheng Hanguang had stood by Wang Tianzong. Watching the black tide at the farthest place he could see, he looked very grave.
“I am going.”
Wang Tianzong said slowly.
He opened the door of the cabin and jumped without hesitation.
The wind whistled in midair. The large black gun he was holding was constantly deformed in the fierce wind, becoming broken and twisted.
The unknown black metal changed very quickly. In the end, the big gun disappeared. However, a black bracer with a ferocious shape wrapped Wang Tianzong’s arm.
He landed on the ground and looked impassive as he watched the bracer which covered his right arm wholly.
The five forces in the Dark World conspired to conquer the border of Zhongzhou State and even capitalized on Annan State. This move made it clear that they wanted to gobble up the entire Blood Battalion and even annex Nanyun Province.
With such a big plot, there was bound to be a big shot. This person must be a formidable enemy who had a high ranking on the Divine List since the five forces all knew that Gu Xingyun and he was in Zhongzhou State.
Wang Tianzong’s biggest task to the border this time was to kill the Invincible Realm expert from the five forces.
As soon as the other side died, then it was time for Zhongzhou State to fight back.
The general trend was in turmoil. Therefore, the slightest tilt of the subtle balance was enough to affect the outcome.
Wang Tianzong calmly stroked the black bracer around his arm.
With a murderous weapon in hand.
He was fearless.
This big black gun, or to be precise, the current black bracer, was the most treasured weapon of the Wang family of Beihai.
It ranked first among the 12 Murderous Weapons in the Dark World.
And it was named Human Emperor too!
...
The black tide surged into the border.
Tens of thousands of people marched forward from different directions with an indomitable will. The whole jungle on the border was shaking.
There was, however, dead silence before Dongcheng Wudi.
Ten thousand elites of the Thunderbolt Battalion had already assembled, and the figures all over the mountain were standing in front of Dongcheng Wudi silently. Those fanatical people only laid their burning eyes on Dongcheng Wudi.
There was no fear but only vigorous fighting desire in their eyes.
Dongcheng Wudi stood calmly under the war drum named Family-country.
The footsteps at the border were getting closer and closer, as if landslides and tsunami had occurred.
Vigorous!
Dongcheng Wudi, who had been silent, finally took one step forward.
He didn’t say anything exciting. His voice was calm, but there was madness in the calmness that was suppressed to the extreme.
“When the armed forces of the other country have entered the border of Zhongzhou State, they are invaders.”
Dongcheng Wudi’s voice was low, but it sounded clearly in everyone’s ears. “The enemies are coming. The Thunderbolt Battalion, kill the enemies with me, and no survivors shall be left.”
“Kill!”
Ten thousand soldiers of the Thunderbolt Battalion roared at the same time. The noise they made sounded like that of a tsunami.
“Salute Zhongzhou State!”
Facing everyone else, the most legendary marshal of Zhongzhou State picked up his canteen with a solemn look.
“Salute the Marshal!”
Ten thousand soldiers of the Thunderbolt Battalion picked up their canteens at the same time and said in unison.
Dongcheng Wudi suddenly burst into laughter. He cocked his head, poured all the liquor into his mouth, and threw the canteen away.
Then he turned around.
In his sight, countless enemies in black were galloping forward, and the leading troops had rushed into the mountains. Black clothes could be seen all over the mountains.
They were all armed to the teeth and carrying loaded guns.
There was a sudden trace of startling maliciousness in Dongcheng Wudi’s eyes. He reached out all of a sudden.
Under the war drum named Family-country, the drumsticks slammed into Dongcheng Wudi’s hands.
Dongcheng Wudi strode forward, and the drumsticks fell with all their might on the war drum.
The deafening drumbeats filled the border in a flash.
Like the divine thunder, the drumbeats that swept everything went straight into the sky, shattering the clouds.
Dongcheng Wudi’s roar rang out amidst the drumbeats, with the heroicness and fighting desire from his soul. His sound shook the sky.
“The Border Control Corps! March!!! ”
