There was deathly silence in the city. Although most of the people were ignorant, they also understood that the Taoist who looked like a god was their enemy and was here to deal with the Tang Dynasty!
At this moment, Tang Emperor Li Junlin's aura was sluggish. Although the energy required by the ancestors' heroic spirits was provided by the formation, summoning the heroic spirits itself required a considerable price!
How can there be such a thing as pie-in-the-sky good things in the world? All the gifts of fate had already been marked with a secret price, and Emperor Tang, who had long been associated with the heroic spirit, was also hit hard with the disappearance of the former.
When one is prosperous, both are prosperous; when one is lost, both are harmed!
At this time, Wang Xuanli truly demonstrated the terrifying strength of a warrior in the Heavenly Realm. Even when faced with the siege of four masters, he still single-handedly scattered the ancestral spirits of the Tang Dynasty and severely injured Feng Lao and the other three.
In any case, Feng Lao and the others just relied on the blessing of the formation to forcefully step into the realm of heaven and man. This is not stable!
Moreover, when they face a real master of the Heavenly Realm, they can clearly feel that the gap is not as big as usual!
Now, the top experts from the Tang State and the academy took action, but the battle situation was still one-sided, with no hope at all.
The formation protecting Chang'an City was shattered with the dissipation of the heroic spirits of the ancestors of the Tang Dynasty. The entire Chang'an City was now exposed to Wang Xuanli defenselessly. Perhaps, in his eyes, there was no barrier in Chang'an City from the beginning, because it could be broken easily!
Li Junlin's summoning of the ancestors' spirits was equivalent to a big gamble. He used the energy of the formation to protect the entire Chang'an City, hoping to join forces with the academy to repel the powerful enemy. Unfortunately, he lost the bet!
At this moment, Wang Xuanli stood proudly in the void, overlooking all the living beings below, obviously looking down on the world!
However, at this time, he has such strength that there is no opponent in Chang'an City who can compete with him, not even the academy!
As soon as he stepped down, everyone in Chang'an City began to feel a huge pressure coming from the top of their heads, and then forced them to kneel down.
His spine was bent and his legs were trembling. How similar was the scene before him? However, the previous Great Elder Xuan Yi only targeted the soldiers of the Imperial City, but now Wang Xuanli wants to subjugate the entire Chang'an City!
Above the sky, a thousand-foot dharma image slowly condenses. When the eyes open and close, it is like a god staring at mortal ants, making people feel fearful and unable to resist.
The pressure on everyone in the city is directly proportional to the state they are in. The more powerful the warrior, the more unimaginable pressure he will bear!
At this moment, Emperor Tang and others once again felt the humiliation of that day! It is truly a shame and humiliation to be invaded and wreaked by the enemy in such a arrogant way in our own capital, and to attempt to force them into submission by force!
Beads of sweat broke out on Li Junlin's forehead, and the unyielding figures and roars of the soldiers that day seemed to ring in his ears again.
"Don't kneel!"
He squeezed out these two words through his teeth. When Lin Ye, the "Gun God" and others beside him heard this, they also shouted out these two words, and roars sounded out, spreading into the distance.
Gradually, more and more people roared, and the roars gathered into a sound wave that resounded throughout Chang'an City, expressing their unyielding will toward the god-like and demonic figure in the sky!
The people of the Tang Dynasty are proud, this is their country, a powerful country! Even among the nine realms of the Yuan Realm, the people of Tang Dynasty are full of pride in their identity!
Therefore, facing this naked humiliation, they only felt a surge of anger igniting from the depths of their hearts, and then went straight to Tianling Gai.
Trying to use force to subjugate them is simply a daydream!
"You do have some backbone! But in the face of absolute power, all your persistence is vulnerable!" Wang Xuanli said lightly.
Then, he took a step forward towards her again, and the Thousand-Zhang Faxiang behind him trembled, and the terrifying coercion strengthened a bit again!
"Crack! Click!"
Everyone in the city could clearly hear the sound coming from their bodies, which was the sound of the bones in the whole body being overwhelmed.
As the saying goes, "manpower is sometimes limited", sometimes, it's not necessarily the case that you can do whatever you want!
Having a firm will is certainly a good thing, but with will alone, nothing can be accomplished without strength!
Under this pressure that is almost as strong as the pressure of heaven and earth, it is meaningless to resist and persist with courage, because if it continues, the bones will explode in the next step, and they will still be unable to compete!
"Plop! Plop!"
The sounds rang out one after another and spread rapidly, like a tide. After all, the Tang people in Chang'an City could not bear the terrifying pressure and no longer chose to resist it.
However, Wang Xuanli, who was in the air, frowned slightly. Because, the Tang people below did not kneel down, but lay directly on the ground, staring straight at him, with unyielding will flashing in them, expressing their resistance in this way!
The warriors who are still persisting in the field are already very rare. Those who are in the innate realm are not qualified to stand at all. The warriors in the acquired realm are hunched over and trying their best but unable to raise their heads.
Wang Xuanli did not continue the game, glanced in the direction of Xuantian Peak, and then said calmly: "It's time!"
I saw a series of mysterious seals in his hand, and the Qianzhang Dharma behind him also moved like him, and the city of Chang'an suddenly erupted with dazzling rays of light.
"That's...the formation!" Feng Lao and the other three people who were also in the air saw clearly that Chang'an City was almost enveloped by a huge formation, and that dazzling light was emitted by the formation.
"Is it the guardian formation?" Mr. Zhang asked doubtfully.
"No, the protective formation has been broken just now, and it cannot be condensed so quickly. Moreover, the aura of the formation is wrong!" said Mr. Zhao on the side.
After staying in Chang'an City for so many years, I am quite familiar with the aura of the protective formation, but the formation that suddenly appeared in front of me was obviously different from it.
General Zhao slowly moved his eyes towards Wang Xuanli who was not far away. The changes in the city were probably inseparable from him!
Lin Yan, who was in the city, felt an extremely dangerous atmosphere at this time. The formation that suddenly appeared under his feet gave him a strong sense of crisis. This was very unusual!
Although he was not "deliberately cared for", Lin Yan was under considerable pressure at this time. After all, he was in the innate realm.
"What on earth does this guy want to do? What is Xuantian Sect's intention?" Lin Yan's heart was full of doubts.
Previously, Lin Yan believed that the Xuantian Sect wanted to seize the Tang Kingdom, expand step by step, annex the nine regions, and create an unprecedented immortal orthodoxy!
Now it seems that this is indeed one of the reasons why Xuantian Sect took action, but its real purpose is probably more than that!
While he was thinking, the formation covering Chang'an City suddenly glowed brightly, and the bodies of countless people exploded without warning. Before they could even let out a scream, they turned into blood mist that filled the sky.
"ah!"
Screams rang out one after another, coming from the survivors. Their faces and bodies were covered with blood, and they just watched helplessly as their relatives, friends, lovers, and children vanished into thin air beside them. Without any precautions, they were separated forever!
The exploding blood mist was absorbed by the formation, and the formation covering Chang'an City was now soaked in blood, making it look extremely monstrous!
"Bastard!" Tang Emperor Li Junlin roared angrily. At this time, he felt like his heart was twisting in a knife. Those fresh lives disappeared like this. Those were all his subjects of the Tang Kingdom!
The "Gun God" Lin Ye and other generals beside him had angry faces, clenched fists, and eyes that were about to burst.
Feng Lao, who was high up in the sky, felt it most clearly. After the incident just now, at least one-tenth of the population in Chang'an City was annihilated by the formation.
Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zhao beside him were so angry that they were trembling with anger. They looked at Wang Xuanli not far away, their eyes full of shock and anger, and said: "How dare he! How dare he!"
The city of Chang'an has a population of over one million, and at least more than 100,000 people died in just that moment. That's a total of more than 100,000 lives!
Li Junlin shouted angrily at Wang Xuanli in the sky: "Wang Xuanli, you have the guts to come to me, why do you want to kill the people of Tang State? Aren't you afraid of divine punishment?"
The Taoist wearing a black Taoist robe and a purple-gold crown with his hair tied up was neither happy nor sad, saying: "This is the price you Tang people should pay, and if they know their role, they will definitely feel honored!"
"Just like those three states, they have become the cornerstone of our sect. Isn't it a blessing?"
Emperor Tang's face changed drastically when he heard this, and he said in a trembling voice: "The fact that Qizhou, Huazhou and Shangzhou turned into dead cities is the fault of your Xuantian Sect!"
At this time, he had quickly thought of something in his mind. All the people and soldiers in the three states disappeared without leaving any traces, as if they had never existed in this world.
Now it seems that it is the black hand of Xuantian Sect! That was hundreds of thousands of lives, and they just disappeared without a trace!
"Beasts! You are just a bunch of beasts in Taoist robes!" Emperor Tang cursed angrily. As the king of a country, he should be indifferent to joy and anger, but at this time he couldn't control his emotions and wanted to kill him. Wang Xuanli eats meat and sleeps on skin!
Wang Xuanli turned a deaf ear, then clicked his finger again, and another tenth of the population disappeared, and the explosive blood mist was absorbed by the formation.
"Stop! Stop it!" Emperor Tang looked like a madman, his eyes about to burst.
Feng Lao and three others stood in front of Wang Xuanli. The three thin figures faced the thousand-foot-long Dharma. Although they had suffered heavy losses before, they were not afraid!
They opened their mouths and chanted at the same time: "Poverty and lowliness cannot be moved, wealth and honor cannot be lascivious, and power... cannot be surrendered!"
As soon as the words fell, the three of them were blessed with a strong aura of awe-inspiring power, soaring straight into the sky, and then joined forces again to attack Wang Xuanli.
…
Outside the city, the army that was supposed to support them a long time ago was attacked by countless men in white, causing heavy casualties.
While Xue Potian led the heavy armored cavalry to charge, he divided some troops to break the formation. The bloody formation separated them from the people in the city. They were clearly close at hand, but they seemed to be in two worlds!
The ground outside the city was stained with blood, but the blood gradually gathered into the bloody formation, and then disappeared, but the blood color became more intense...
