Chapter 616: Diversion
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
A hungry wolf was plunging into a flock of sheep. There might be some shepherd dogs in the flock but could they make any differences?
Hu Lang swept all before him. He only targeted the Noble Lord Realm warriors. He was very fast and he had Force Field. He dashed into the crowds of enemy Noble Lord Realm warriors and activated his Force Field. Then he crushed the Noble Lord Realm warriors of Yama Palace one after another.
Lu Li generated many clones and was travelling at his top speed, faster than Hu Lang. His ghost shadows filled up the space above the city, scaring many civilians.
Lu Li didn't resort to complicated means. He waved his divine weapon of Dragon King in a random way. Every time he made a move, he could smash the head of a Noble Lord Realm warrior of the Yama Palace. After a slight muffled sound, the Noble Lord Realm warrior would bleed from his nose and eyes and he would fall from midair, stirring up dust.
Hu Lang and Lu Li targeted the enemy Noble Lord Realm warriors while the 100 Noble Lord Realm warriors who came with Hu Lang would focus on average enemy warriors. This was the predetermined plan.
The 100 Noble Lord Realm warriors slaughtering the Eternal Realm, Fate Wheel Realm and Soul Pond Realm warriors as easily as wolves hunting lambs. Hu Lang led a team of only 102, faced with hundreds of thousands from the Yama Palace. But Hu Lang's side had the upper hand. This fight was not on equal footing.
In the time for three incense stick to burn, hundreds of Noble Lord Realm warriors of the Yama Palace were injured or killed. The more than a dozen surviving Noble Lord Realm warriors with serious wounds were spared by Hu Lang so that they could tip their army at the Clouds Plains off.
The Yama Palace had two or three hundred thousand warriors but tens of thousands had already perished in the hands of 100 Noble Lord Realm warriors. Yama Palace warriors had no ability to fight back.
Finally, Yama Palace warriors sensed fear. They broke and fled to all directions. Hu Lang and Lu Li knew they could not kill all on account of the sheer number. Hu Lang and Lu Li were not here simply to murder. They were here to attack Yama Palace's lair, spread terror, and damp their morale.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Hu Lang attacked and leveled the castles of Yama Palace to the ground. He destroyed some other luxurious castles in the city as well, turning the Yama City into a wasteland.
As for the Teleportation Formation in the city, Hu Lang ruined that as soon as they arrived in case other powerful warriors could come in rescue.
"Whoosh~"
After a while, the warriors were almost gone, leaving behind civilians shaking in fear. Hu Lang yelled, "Come on, let's go to the Crystal City in the south."
One hundred and two warriors came and 99 left. Seven or eight were wounded. The three died because they took the enemies lightly. Some warriors of the Yama Palace took them down as they were about to die.
Hu Lang and Lu Li alone could compare to a large army. The result was within expectation. They rushed toward the south and killed all the enemies who were running away on route.
After two hours, they arrived in a deserted mountain where Lu Li asked Hu Lang, "General, are we really going to the Crystal City?"
Crystal City was the headquarters of the Palace of Crystals at the south of Serenity Plains. It would take them more than a dozen days. Hence, Lu Li was confused. There was another major force at the south, the Palace of Black Tortoise, which was only two or three days away. Why weren't they going to the Palace of Black Tortoise first?
"Diversion. Of course we are going to the Palace of Black Tortoise!"
Hu Lang grinned. Lu Li understood, even though he deemed it unnecessary. There was no Human Sovereign Realm warriors at the Serenity Plains anymore and it would take some time for the ones went to the Clouds Plains to come back. Even if they wanted to, Lu Ling wouldn't allow that.
"How about we kill our way into the city and then take the Teleportation Formation?"
Lu Li proposed, looking for a quick fix. Nobody would pose any threat to them even when they took Teleportation Formations.
"Let's not do that."
Hu Lang rejected the idea and explained, "Killing is not the priority. What we do here is to rattle the Serenity Plains' armies. Therefore, by not killing, we will have a better result! If we killed all, the Serenity Plains would be ready to risk everything and put up a life and death struggle with us."
"Alright."
Lu Ling had told Lu Li to act on Hu Lang's orders. So, there was not much Lu Li could say when Hu Lang insisted. They led the team and sneaked into the Black Tortoise City, pressing ahead day and night. They walked in the wildness and slayed all the scouts that they could not avoid from meeting.
They arrived near the Black Tortoise City in less than two days as they were all fast. This time, instead of ordering an attack, Hu Lang told everyone to take some rest for several hours.
Even though they were all strong, several days on the road in a row did a toll on them. The order given to Hu Lang by Lu Ling was to turn the Serenity Plains upside down. She didn't specify how far he should go or how many he should kill.
They had some food prepared and rested for several hours. Hu Lang waved his hand and said, "Let's go. Let's destroy the Black Tortoise City!"
The warriors flew up in a formidable array and dashed toward the Black Tortoise City. They were not afraid to be exposed now that they were already not far from the city.
From the distance, they saw a huge city with a blue shield.
The other major cities learned how the Yama City was destroyed promptly. The second day, the cities activated their protection shield. The defense might not be too strong but it could sustain for a while.
Hu Lang and Lu Li frowned, looking at the shield. A formation like this must have collected much energy. It would take them two or more hours to crack it.
Would something go down during that time? Would there be any hidden Human Sovereign Realm warriors of the Serenity Plains? Nobody could give a definitive answer.
Hu Lang thought about it. He made up his mind and said, "State Councilor, bring them with you and hide nearby. I will go and crack the city open. Even if something were to go wrong, I could get away easily."
Lu Li considered about it and said, "How about I go with you? You know how fast I am."
"No!"
Hu Lang was determined, "I must go alone. You will cooperate with me, secretly. I can work fast alone as well."
Lu Li was Lu Ling's brother. She didn't say anything particular. Nevertheless, Hu Lang's entire Family might be buried if something were to happen to Lu Li.
"Whoosh~"
With that said, Hu Lang flew out. Lu Li had no other choice but to go with the other warriors. They found a mountain, dug a cave and observed the Black Tortoise City from the distance.
"Boom, boom, boom~"
From the city soon came some loud noises. Hu Lang kept smashing at the shield with the phantom hands he generated.
The city was in turmoil. Everyone was in panic. Many warriors flew up to the city wall and stared at Hu Lang in midair.
"Go and have a look!"
Lu Li said. A warrior from the Wolf Mountain sneaked away. After the time for one incense stick to burn, he came back to report, "Similar to the Yama City, there aren't too many powerful warriors in the Black Tortoise City. There are hundreds of the Noble Lord Realm and the total number of warriors is about 200,000."
"Let's be careful."
Lu Li let dozens to spread out and take a look around the Black Tortoise City so they could alert Hu Lang to retreat once they noticed something.
"Boom, boom, boom…"
In the distance over the huge city, a large phantom of hand kept pressing down. The blue shield glistened. They formed quite a shocking picture.
Lu Li gazed into the distance. Somehow, he felt ill at ease. But Lu Ling would not allow any Human Sovereign Realm warriors to run back so there couldn't be other Human Sovereign Realm warriors at the Serenity Plains. This made Lu Li felt he was worrying for nothing.
