Chapter 1639

Zi Chen spoke a lot that night due to his drunkenness. The memories that had been suppressed at the bottom of his heart were reopened. One after another, familiar names and familiar figures appeared in Zi Chen's mind.

There was no news of his friends. Were they safe and sound in the Zhanwu Continent?

In the end … Zi Chen was drunk. He fell into a deep sleep beside the bonfire.

Old Man Schenker had to leave early in the morning. He had to make a round trip in two days.

Before he left, he glanced at the people who were still unconscious.

Zi Chen was sleeping beside the bonfire. He would occasionally grin foolishly. It was unknown if it was because he was dreaming, but there was even saliva dripping from the corner of his mouth.

Shangguan Hong drank a lot of wine last night and had yet to wake up. Dong Qing and Jin Qingcheng were taking care of her. The two of them turned and smiled at Old Man Schenker.

A new day arrived. Everyone gradually woke up. Yesterday's revelry was over. Next, they would face a great battle.

Zi Chen's gaze turned calm. It was rare for him to relax last night.

Those familiar with him finally understood why Zi Chen could be so calm on the battlefield. Compared to Zi Chen who fought non-stop, the number of battles they experienced was simply too little.

Last night, they learned from Zi Chen that just the life and death situations alone were no less than ten times.

"Everyone, rest well for these two days. Two days later, we will attack the city with all our might."

Zi Chen announced. While everyone was resting, he would concoct some pills for use on the battlefield.

Two days later, the troops were fully assembled. After three days of rest, the baleful aura around everyone had lessened. According to Zi Chen's instructions, they all retracted their baleful aura and set off for Imperial Sky City.

…

…

The southern gate of Imperial Sky City faced the Dax Plains. The northern gate faced the second Imperial Sky City.

An army of several tens of thousands of foreign invaders was currently gathered a hundred miles away from the northern gate. They were arranged in a square formation, forming a dense black mass.

And five miles away from the foreign invaders were the eighth level human cultivators. There were also over ten thousand of them.

During these few years when the human cities were occupied, both sides fought many times and suffered heavy casualties. On the side of the foreign races, there was an endless amount of reinforcements while on the side of the Royal Sky City, there was also an endless number of eighth-level cultivators.

At this moment, the two sides were facing each other. Baleful auras surged, and a figure suddenly rushed out from the human side. He stood in mid-air, and a powerful aura surged around him. He looked down coldly at the foreign races and bellowed, "Dakku, come out and die."

His thunderous voice boomed in the air, spreading for more than ten miles.

"Xu Hou, you are not qualified to kill me."

Soon, an indifferent voice responded. A strong cultivator appeared in the army. It was a strong cultivator on the ranking board.

The two of them fought several times, but each time they were evenly matched.

The bald Xu Hou snorted and said indifferently, "Do you dare to fight me to the death?"

Ducko said in a clear voice, "Why wouldn't I dare?"

Cheers erupted from below as the two great figures charged towards each other.

Their bodies glowed brightly as powerful energy surged. Each time they clashed, a ripple of energy spread out for miles.

Then, the two of them turned into two streams of light, entangling and exchanging blows.

In the sky, the space started to distort as powerful energy ripples spread out. A terrifying pressure engulfed the area, causing everyone near the battlefield to feel a sense of suffocation.

A life and death battle between two experts on the ranking board attracted a lot of attention. All the humans and foreign races stared at the sky without blinking. Who knows, they might be able to comprehend some unique techniques from this battle.

"Roar, roar!"

The two experts clashed, causing the sky to tremble as the battle became more and more intense. Suddenly, a huge beast shadow appeared behind Dakku. It was a ferocious looking lion, and the moment it appeared, it roared towards the sky.

"Roar."

Xu Hou was not to be outdone. A huge wolf emitting blue light appeared behind him. The huge wolf's eyes stared at the lion.

Clearly, Xu Hou was a high-level lifeform.

The beast shadows behind the two of them surged with a crazy and terrifying aura. With a single thought, the two beasts charged towards each other and began another round of slaughter.

The huge wolf and lion fought fiercely, causing the sky to tremble as if it could collapse at any moment.

A terrifying aura swept out in all directions, bringing with it a suffocating pressure.

The two's battle strength was clearly on par, and the two beasts started to exhaust each other in the intense battle. In the end, they both disappeared without a clear victor.

Everyone looked at the sky in shock. The battle there had yet to end.

Xu Hou's body shook as he turned into a huge blue wolf. This was a high-level lifeform's ability to completely transform into a beast, representing their peak battle strength.

At the front, Dakku's expression turned grave when he saw this scene. Then, he turned into a golden lion.

Under tens of thousands of shocked gazes, the huge wolf charged towards the lion.

As expected, the two experts on the ranking board were going to have a life and death battle.

…

…

Just as the two experts on the ranking board were engaged in a life and death battle, Zi Chen's group had already arrived at a forest ten miles away from the Imperial Sky City.

Old Man Schenker waved at them from afar, wanting to meet up with them here.

"There are outsiders guarding the city. We have to end this quickly. How many people do you plan to bring?" Old Man Schenker asked as he walked in front of Zi Chen.

Zi Chen shook his head. "Not a single person. I'll go alone. Wait for my signal."

"Alone?" Schenker was stunned.

"That's right. One person is a small target and won't attract any attention."

As the leader, no one could question Zi Chen. Thus, once Zi Chen decided on something, it was fine as long as they carried it out. Under everyone's gaze, Zi Chen took five steps and turned into a tall Dax Leopard Man.

Seeing the lifelike Dax Leopard Man, everyone's expression couldn't help but change.

"This …" Everyone was shocked.

"What a brilliant transformation technique," Schenker praised.

Zi Chen's figure disappeared from everyone's sight.

Just as Zi Chen turned into a Dax Leopard Man and headed towards the Imperial Sky City, three outsiders had already entered the city.

They were here to report the situation. As soon as they entered the city, they immediately went to find the manager and reported the strange situation that happened in the city during this time.

"What? Thousands of outsiders disappeared for no reason?"

When the steward at the peak of the eighth level heard this, his expression changed, and he immediately asked, "When did this happen?"

"More than half a year ago," the tigerman said.

"Why didn't you say so earlier?" The manager's face was filled with anger.

"I suspected that it was done by our own people because no one could sneak into the city. However, I couldn't find any evidence," the tigerman said.

"Bullsh * t. This is a crucial moment in the war. Do you think we would kill each other? This must be the doing of the humans. Follow me."

The manager angrily led the three towards the Weapon Ranking Board. It was most likely that they would find the answer to all these abnormalities there.

Zi Chen had already reached the city gates, and the four eighth rank foreign race beings outside the city completely ignored his arrival.

When he got closer, Zi Chen nodded at the four, but what he got in return was a disdainful sneer.

Zi Chen didn't mind and smiled. He had already walked to the center of the four guards.

The four of them still didn't move. Zi Chen suddenly stopped.

A sheathed saber appeared in his hand. His right hand gripped the hilt tightly and he suddenly exerted force.

Whoosh.

A crisp but not loud sound of the saber being unsheathed rang out. Four saber lights appeared in four directions around Zi Chen, heading straight for the four eighth rank guards.

Zi Chen's attack was too fast. The four guards didn't even have time to react.

The saber lights flashed past and four heads flew high into the air. The four guards were beheaded before they could even react. Blood spurted out continuously.

Sheathing the saber again, Zi Chen looked forward.

There were other guards in the city passageway. They all stared fiercely at Zi Chen.

One of the eighth rank guards said coldly, "Leopard man, you dare to behave atrociously here. No matter which race you are from, you will be exterminated."

Zi Chen didn't say anything. He tapped his foot lightly and rushed towards the city passageway.

"Kill."

Several eighth rank guards shouted. Weapons appeared in their hands and they charged towards Zi Chen.

Whoosh.

Relying on his extreme speed, Zi Chen dodged the first two attacks. Once again, he reached the center of the four guards and unsheathed his saber again.

The shining saber lights split into four and went straight for the necks of the four guards.

Puff. Puff. Puff. Puff. Puff.

Four heads flew high into the air. Blood spurted out. Zi Chen had already rushed into the depths of the passageway.

The saber lights continued to flash. Another alien guard fell.

Puff.

Another head flew up into the air. This was the tenth non-humankind guard that had fallen.

When Zi Chen walked out of the passageway and entered the city, there were already eighteen corpses behind him. These eighteen people were all eighth rank guards.

Looking at the familiar city, Zi Chen took out a signal cylinder. As he injected energy, a beam of light shot into the sky.

The signal exploded in the sky. Shuntian and the others rushed towards the city.

During this time, Zi Chen had to guard the city gate and make sure it didn't close.

Schenker said that as long as he guarded the gate and made sure it didn't close, the defensive formation wouldn't be able to activate.

Zi Chen stood below the city gate. He heard the sound of air being torn apart and angry shouts.

Sensing the abnormality, the aliens started to gather. There were already fifteen of them charging towards Zi Chen.

"You dare to cause trouble? Die."

"Go to hell."

Zi Chen didn't transform into a human. He was still in the form of a Dax leopard. So, in the eyes of the aliens, he was a troublemaker.

In the history of the aliens, there was no lack of such existences. But most of them came for revenge. They were looking for a certain person or race. Attacking an entire city like this had never happened before.

In their eyes, a leopard man who dared to attack all the aliens in a city was a madman.

"Kill."

Fifteen foreign races charged towards Zi Chen. Among them, only two were at the eighth tier, while the rest were all at the seventh tier. Their bodies flashed with all kinds of energy light, which emitted a powerful aura. Their eyes were filled with cold killing intent.

Zi Chen gripped the scabbard tightly with his left hand and placed his right hand on the hilt of his saber. He stared coldly at the aliens.

The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer. The aliens all tapped their feet and flew into the air.

Zi Chen's pupils constricted. At this moment, he unsheathed his saber.
