Chapter 534: Destroying Jindu!

To be honest, when Wanyan Honglie saw the spectacle before him, he was truly startled, even though he had witnessed the military strength of the Great Ming Empire back in Beidu City.

But even now, the scene was profoundly shocking to Wanyan Honglie.

Beside him, Wanyan Kang could not help but lament, "This... how can the Great Ming Imperial Grandson have such a massive army? Father, it seems our Jin Kingdom is truly doomed to be destroyed..."

Wanyan Kang was visibly panicking.

Originally, Wanyan Kang believed the Jin Kingdom could hold out for a while, or at the very least, retreat beyond the pass. But upon seeing such a vast army, Wanyan Kang realized completely that the fall of the Jin Kingdom was only a matter of time.

Beside him, Wanyan Honglie spoke in a helpless tone, "The moment Ouyang Xiu was killed, I knew the Jin Kingdom had no way out."

Just as Wanyan Honglie's voice fell, beneath the walls of Dadu City, Guo Zhen, acting as the Commander of the Imperial Guard, issued the order to storm the city.

"Imperial Guards!"

"Attack the city!"

As Guo Zhen's voice dropped, for a moment, a full fifty thousand Imperial Guards launched a grand, sweeping offensive toward Dadu City. Of course, before the infantry charge, the soldiers of the Imperial Guard unleashed their Red-Coated Cannons.

*Boom! Boom! Boom!*

In an instant.

A massive amount of cannonballs rained down upon Dadu City. Although the walls of Dadu City were considered quite sturdy within this [Comprehensive Martial Arts World], when the cannonballs from the Red-Coated Cannons struck the walls, the fortifications collapsed with a roar, just like foam.

Inside the city.

The Emperor of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Shouxu, had long been scared half to death upon hearing the thunderous sound of the artillery.

He hurriedly said to the civil and military officials, "The Ming army is truly attacking! You... all of you, tell me, what should we do now?"

It was evident that the composure of the dignified Emperor of the Jin had completely collapsed. At that moment, an official immediately offered advice: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the most urgent matter is to leave Dadu City immediately!"

"As long as the green mountains remain, there is no need to worry about firewood! Retreating is the best plan!"

Upon hearing the official's words, Wanyan Shouxu thought seriously for a moment and immediately said, "Since things have come to this, we can only retreat for now! Dispatch all the martial arts experts; they must hold back the Ming army at all costs!"

Having said that, Wanyan Shouxu hurriedly changed into commoner's clothing, preparing to take advantage of the chaos to flee Beidu City.

Meanwhile.

Outside Dadu City.

The Imperial Guard ceased their artillery bombardment, and subsequently, Guo Zhen personally led the troops to charge into Dadu City!

Even though the Jin soldiers were fighting desperately to resist, it had to be said that the gap in equipment between the Jin army and the Ming army was immense.

In fact, one could say the Ming army could completely bully the Jin army.

One must know that within the Imperial Guard, besides possessing full body armor, they also possessed various modern weapons, such as machine guns, submachine guns, and even grenades!

Before the Jin soldiers could even rush in front of the Imperial Guards, they were already shot dead by their opponents...

Furthermore, within the Imperial Guard, there was the unstoppable Dinosaur Legion.

As the Tyrannosaurus Rex, Velociraptors, and Pterosaurs joined the battlefield from the skies, the Jin army was left with no power to fight back.

In less than the time it takes to burn an incense stick, the Jin army suffered repeated retreats, forced to fall back into Dadu City to engage in street fighting with the Great Ming Empire's army.

Perhaps.

For the Great Ming Empire's army, the Jin Kingdom's only advantage was their numbers!

In order to defend Dadu City, Wanyan Shouxu had essentially gathered the entire military force of the Jin Kingdom within the city.

Originally, according to Wanyan Shouxu's plan, as long as the Jin Kingdom possessed sufficient manpower, they could defend Dadu City and even go toe-to-toe with the Ming army. But looking at it now, it was almost impossible!

Just then.

High in the sky, the sun was suddenly eclipsed.

Simultaneously, accompanied by a series of shrieks, Zhu Ying appeared on the battlefield riding a Quetzalcoatlus, and behind him was the Wangwei Pterosaur Army.

"Imperial Grandson Highness, it seems the Jin Kingdom is truly going to fall this time," Liu Lei remarked with emotion upon seeing Dadu City being breached.

Zhu Ying replied relatively calmly, "That is natural. For a mere Jin Kingdom, even if they were to contend with me with the full strength of their nation, they would still be no match for me!"

...

Inside the city.

Wanyan Honglie had long since taken the lead, personally engaging in battle.

At the same time, his foster son Wanyan Kang had also changed into his gear and begun a bloody struggle against the Ming army.

Meanwhile.

The martial artists of the Jin Kingdom also arrived one after another.

To be honest, the overall strength of the Jin Kingdom's martial artists was far from as powerful as that of the Song or Ming Kingdoms. Especially after Ouyang Feng was killed by Zhu Ying, there were no longer any masters of the Grandmaster Realm.

Currently, only those like the Four Ghosts of the Yellow River remained; to put it bluntly, their strength was only slightly higher than Wang Wei's, and the rest was Wanyan Kang.

Within Beidu City, Wanyan Kang could be said to have exerted all his strength, especially his Nine Yin White Bone Claw, which was quite sharp.

At this moment, high in the sky, Zhu Ying also noticed Wanyan Kang's presence.

Zhu Ying said coldly, "I didn't expect this Wanyan Kang to be so loyal to the Jin Kingdom."

To be honest.

Zhu Ying had thought Wanyan Kang would flee, but to his surprise, Wanyan Kang had not only failed to run but had even brought out all his martial arts prowess to help the Jin Kingdom kill enemies!

This actually caused Zhu Ying to have a slight change of opinion regarding Wanyan Kang.

However.

Next, Zhu Ying decided to give Wanyan Kang a little bit of a shock.

In the next second.

Zhu Ying suddenly jumped down from the back of the Quetzalcoatlus.

Instantly.

Zhu Ying appeared right in front of Wanyan Kang!

Upon seeing Zhu Ying, the Imperial Guards also hurriedly bowed to him.

"Imperial Grandson Highness!"

When Wanyan Kang heard the Imperial Guard soldiers calling the person before him "Imperial Grandson Highness," the expression on his face instantly turned to shock.

Wanyan Kang hurriedly said to Zhu Ying, "You... you are the Great Ming Imperial Grandson?"

It was clear that upon seeing Zhu Ying, Wanyan Kang was visibly nervous.

After all, Zhu Ying had killed Ouyang Feng in a single move, so Wanyan Kang naturally knew very well what Zhu Ying's strength was.

"Wanyan Kang, I will give you a choice. If you defect to my Great Ming Empire, I can spare your life!"

However.

After Zhu Ying finished speaking, Wanyan Kang cursed directly, "Hmph! Do not pretend to be from the Ming! You are a foreign barbarian!"

"Not of my kind! Today, I must avenge the State Preceptor!"

It had to be said that Wanyan Kang possessed a certain amount of backbone.

However.

With Wanyan Kang's current strength, he was simply too inadequate.

Wanyan Kang immediately mobilized the true qi within his body and swiftly unleashed the Nine Yin White Bone Claw!

But, as Wanyan Kang attacked Zhu Ying, Zhu Ying performed a flash step and vanished directly from before Wanyan Kang!

"Where are you?"

"Come out!"

"What kind of cowardice is this, hiding like this!"

To be honest, Wanyan Kang was extremely nervous at this moment, because with his current strength, he could not sense Zhu Ying's presence at all.

Humans often feel fear when facing the unknown, and at this moment, Wanyan Kang was experiencing exactly that.

"A mere second-rate expert, yet you dare to be so insolent before me!"

"Wanyan Kang, you are simply seeking death!"

Suddenly, Zhu Ying's voice reached Wanyan Kang's ear again, but he could only hear the voice without seeing the person!

"You... where are you!"

"Come out immediately!"

Wanyan Kang shouted at the air with a trembling voice, unaware that Zhu Ying had already appeared behind him.

"I am here!"

After saying this, Zhu Ying gave Wanyan Kang a light push. This time, Zhu Ying merely relied on the force of the true qi in his body and did not use any martial arts at all.

Yet, with this light push, Wanyan Kang felt as if he had lost his center of gravity and was sent flying over a hundred meters away!

At the same time.

Wanyan Kang also felt just how terrifying Zhu Ying's strength was.

"You... just what kind of divine being are you! Why do you torment my Jin Kingdom!" Wanyan Kang understood that with his strength, he was no match for Zhu Ying.

Therefore, before his death, Wanyan Kang only wanted to know who exactly was killing him.

However, Zhu Ying was in no hurry. One must realize that Zhu Ying was, after all, a master of the Divine Ability Realm, and combined with the [True Dragon Qi] he practiced, to put it bluntly, Zhu Ying's current realm could be compared to a half-step Vajra Realm master.

Thus, killing Wanyan Kang was almost effortless for Zhu Ying. The reason he delayed taking Wanyan Kang's life was primarily because Zhu Ying wanted to torture him slowly.

"Since you want to know my identity, I shall naturally tell you."

"Listen well, I am the Imperial Grandson of the Great Ming, named Zhu Ying!"

This was the first time Zhu Ying had spoken his name in this [Comprehensive Martial Arts World]. When Wanyan Kang heard the name "Zhu Ying," he felt no fear at all; instead, he gathered all his internal energy and, with lightning speed, unleashed the Nine Yin White Bone Claw!

But.

Wanyan Kang was, after all, only a second-rate expert. Even if he could use the Nine Yin White Bone Claw, he was still no match for Zhu Ying.

This time, Zhu Ying unleashed the One Yang Finger.

In an instant.

An invisible streak of true qi shot directly toward Wanyan Kang!

At this critical moment, Wanyan Honglie suddenly rushed in front of Wanyan Kang. Consequently, the true qi of the One Yang Finger completely pierced through Wanyan Honglie's body!

Just like that, the King of Zhao of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Honglie, was easily killed by Zhu Ying!

[Host has killed Wanyan Honglie, reward: 1 Attribute Point]

Simultaneously, Zhu Ying's system panel rang out once more.

However, Zhu Ying was not surprised at all, because back in Beidu City, he had killed Ouyang Feng, and the system had rewarded him with many attributes at that time.

At this moment.

When Wanyan Kang saw his father die before his eyes, his mental state completely collapsed!

"Father!"

Wanyan Kang hugged Wanyan Honglie, and at the same time, his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

It could be said that Wanyan Kang was extremely enraged.

And the Nine Yin White Bone Claw that Wanyan Kang practiced perhaps sensed the rage generated within his body.

As a result.

Wanyan Kang's strength surged greatly.

He rapidly rose from a second-rate expert to a first-rate expert.

But even so, Wanyan Kang was still no match for Zhu Ying!

When the Nine Yin White Bone Claw he unleashed clawed directly at Zhu Ying, it was blocked by an invisible streak of true qi!

Zhu Ying's body was not injured in the slightest...

Seeing this scene, Wanyan Kang was stunned.

With a trembling voice, Wanyan Kang said, "How is this possible... are you a human or an immortal?"

In Wanyan Kang's understanding, this move was the culmination of his life's learning, yet the Zhu Ying before him was completely unharmed.

This undoubtedly completely shattered Wanyan Kang's perception of reality.

"Hmph, I have told you many times already, with your strength, you are not enough to be my opponent."

"The time is about right; it is time to send you on your way!"

Clearly.

Zhu Ying had lost his patience, or rather, Zhu Ying had finished playing. He did not want to waste too much time on Wanyan Kang.

In the next second.

Zhu Ying directly performed the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms.

In an instant, a massive dragon shimmering with golden light burst out from Zhu Ying's body. In the blink of an eye, this giant dragon charged directly toward Wanyan Kang!

Although Wanyan Kang was exerting all his strength at this moment, using the true qi in his body to resist, it was all in vain.

It had no effect whatsoever!

"Aaargh!!"

With a scream from Wanyan Kang, the golden dragon directly and brutally tore through Wanyan Kang's body.

Just like that, Wanyan Kang was easily killed by Zhu Ying.

[Host has killed Wanyan Kang, reward: 2 Attributes]

With Wanyan Kang being killed in a single move by Zhu Ying, it could be said that the martial arts experts within the entire Jin Kingdom had been wiped out.

Meanwhile.

The Imperial Guard had also entered the final stage of their operation.

Looking around.

Throughout the entire Dadu City, there were basically nothing but the corpses of Jin soldiers!

"Report!"

"Reporting to Imperial Grandson Highness, the Imperial Guard has breached the Imperial Palace, but no trace of the Jin Emperor Wanyan Shouxu has been found!"

Guo Zhen, the Commander of the Imperial Guard, suddenly came to Zhu Ying to report.

However, Zhu Ying's face showed no panic at all.

Zhu Ying said coldly, "Since no trace of the Jin Emperor has been found, Wanyan Shouxu must have fled!"

"Immediately order the Pterosaur Army to pursue!"

"Wanyan Shouxu cannot have run very far!"

As soon as Zhu Ying issued the command, Commander Guo Zhen immediately accepted the order!

"This general obeys!"

Soon.

Guo Zhen personally led the Pterosaur Army to search through the high skies!

Sure enough.

Guo Zhen immediately discovered the traces of the Jin Emperor!

Immediately.

Hundreds of Pterosaurs descended from the sky, directly blocking the path of the Jin Emperor!

"Wanyan Shouxu, if you want to run, it won't be that easy!"

"Prepare to die!"

After Guo Zhen finished speaking, he ordered the Pterosaur Army to charge toward Wanyan Shouxu, and at that moment, a dark shadow suddenly appeared before the Jin Emperor!
