Chapter 1853 - 181: The Divine Power of a Single Punch!

From afar beneath the mountain peak, the cries of battle formed a continuous wave.

On the mountaintop was a blaze of fire.

Prince Zhenbei Xu Zhen stood behind Jiang Ning, no longer speaking.

He knew that Jiang Ning was still waiting, waiting for the second heir of the Northern Barbarian Royal Court, Ashina, to make a move, waiting for an opportunity for a total rebellion.

Just then, from the distant mountain peak, came a sudden urgent horn sound.

That was the order for the full assault of the Northern Barbarian army.

Following it, the call of orders arose one after the other from all directions of the mountain, with torches densely raised high and lit.

Like dragons of fire, they charged towards the base of the mountain.

The tribes that were initially still watching had no choice but to follow once they saw others charging out.

Because they knew, if the other tribes had already rushed out, staying here meant only death awaited them.

Once the King Luoshui in Celestial Palace City reacted, the rest would stand little chance of escaping.

Tonight’s rebellion still seized upon the opportunity of Celestial Palace City’s celebration feast.

In another moment, it would be courting death.

...

At the same time.

Directly north above.

"Princess Ashina, don’t hesitate, Great Xia people are not to be trusted!" One of the leading figures of the Golden Family beat his chest and stamped his feet.

"That’s right! Don’t hesitate! As soon as eight thousand Great Snow Dragon Horses move, they can easily tear open this Great Xia encirclement. Once we reach the grasslands, we will be in the territory of the Great Snow Mountain, protected by it, why fear the King Luoshui!"

"Indeed!" Another tribe leader was also anxious: "Princess Ashina, even if the King Luoshui is formidable, how can he contend with the Great Snow Mountain? Besides, a hundred thousand here can be slaughtered until the hand tires, what do we fear?"

"My dear fellows, don’t forget how the State Preceptor died during the day!" Ashina said calmly, "The State Preceptor was already the second strongest in the world, granted power by the Great Snow Mountain, his abilities had long surpassed worldly levels, yet he still died by the hand of that King Luoshui! Have you forgotten the him of eight hundred years ago? Can the Great Snow Mountain truly contend against his will?"

Upon hearing this, the few who had just been anxious were now shaking all over.

Meanwhile, the elderly tribal chieftains silently observed from the side, saying nothing, appearing detached from the situation.

"Princess Ashina might have overestimated this King Luoshui? In eight hundred years, except for him attaining an unimaginable level, no one else has done so, what qualifies this King Luoshui to achieve such feats?"

Ashina replied: "In eight hundred years, who else has demonstrated power equivalent to King Luoshui? Who dares claim this is the full extent of King Luoshui’s abilities? He has pioneered a path, and he is so young!"

Just then.

An elderly clansman, silent until now, suddenly spoke: "If Princess Ashina believes so, why incite our subordinates to assault the guarding line downhill?"

Upon hearing this, Ashina’s previously calm face immediately changed.

Just then.

Everyone sharply looked up, towards the top of the tent.

All they saw was a Great Sun blooming in space.

Instantly illuminating the sky as if it were daylight, a bright expanse.

Then, a terrifying aura descended.

Pressure like a tide, like a deep sea.

The few individuals in the large tent instantly changed their expressions once more.

"It’s him?!!"

"Yes—it’s him!" Ashina opened her mouth slowly, word by word, with great conviction.

At the same time.

Outside the great tent in the sky.

As Jiang Ning appeared high in the sky, his aura revealed a six-foot golden body.

Between heaven and earth, it was as if a deity had suddenly appeared.

Golden light burst from within him, dazzling and bright, illuminating the entire night sky, illuminating the clouds overhead, dyeing several miles around in golden hues.

In Celestial Palace City, countless people saw that figure suspended high in the sky.

Golden light thousands of feet, like the Great Sun descending at night.

...

Below.

On those four mountain tops, the previously frenzied Northern Barbarian Warriors were now stopping their actions one by one, looking up towards the night sky.

When they saw that figure akin to the Great Sun in the golden body, their pupils shrank suddenly, faces showing incredulous fear.

"It’s... it’s him!"

"..."

In an instant, the four mountain tops, where Northern Barbarian Warriors had been fighting, were now completely engulfed in fear.

The scenes of the day flashed through their minds.

Jiang Ning now stood high in the sky, gazing calmly at those four mountain tops below, speaking slowly, his voice like thunder from nine heavens, echoing between heaven and earth.

"Eighteen tribal coalition, disturbing the borders of Great Xia, murdering the people of Great Xia, now feigning submission, should be executed!"

As the words ’should be executed’ fell, Jiang Ning raised his right hand, his five fingers slowly clenched into a fist.

In the next moment.

He hurled a punch at a mountaintop.

With the fall of this punch, heaven and earth seemed to freeze at that moment.

Air solidified, wind ceased, even the flames on the four mountain tops seemed to freeze, no longer flickering.

Immediately, a terrifying pulse descended, compressing air waves, then collapsing like a snowy mountain, waves like a tide, crashing onto that mountaintop.

In an instant, countless Northern Barbarian Warriors on the mountaintop were directly crushed into blood mist by this terrifying force, unable even to scream, they turned into blood and scattered on the ground.

The earth trembled, mountain rocks split, boulders tumbled, ravines torn open.

As that golden light column descended, the entire earth was violently shaking.

The wild air waves also spread in all directions, where the waves passed, giant trees broke, tents lifted, rocks rolled.
