Long Live The Emperor! Chapter 48 – 48. Breaking Through the Formation (1)

Chapter 48: 48. Breaking Through the Formation (1)

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Xia Ji was wearing the Beast-faced Swallowing Constellation Armor, holding the Great Dark Heavenly Halberd in his right hand and 408 prayer beads in his left hand. He stood on the snow-covered eastern city wall.

Xia Xiaosu was carrying a dagger and a prayer bead. She was dressed in a black robe and holding a white plum oil paper umbrella. She stood in the snow beside the Ninth Princess. Hu Xian Er was standing quietly beside the Ninth Princess.

She had returned.

The siblings looked at each other, their expressions exceptionally calm.

Suddenly…

The peace in the Imperial City was broken.

Even though they were far away, they could still feel the earth shaking. It was as if there was a bolt of lightning approaching them from afar.

The mighty cavalry came from afar, and the banners danced with the words “Shang” and “Nangong”.

The city guard had already received the news and cheered excitedly, ” It’s

General Nangong! General Nangong is here! ‘

“Open the city gates, open the city gates!”

“Welcome, General Nangong!”

It seemed that the war was over. The emperor’s soldiers had returned to the Imperial City, and all the gloom had been driven away. No more refugees would starve to death or die of illness. Everyone would have food to eat, clothes to wear, and a house to live in. The Imperial City would return to how it was before the war. Everything was getting better.

“General Nangong!”

“His Majesty is coming back!”

” That’s great, that’s really great!! ”

Some ‘commoners’ who seemed to have rehearsed started cheering.

Soon, a general with golden wings and iron helmet appeared at the city gate with his army. Nangong Hesheng was extremely tall and sturdy. He held a long-handled machete in his hand and suddenly shook it, shouting,” Seventh Highness, please open the city gates!! ”

Retreat the 30,000-strong army 30 miles away, ” Xia Ji said. ” General

Nangong, just bring a few trusted aides into the city. ‘

Nangong He smiled. ” I was ordered by the Emperor to lead troops into the city to stabilize the people. It was Your Highness who disobeyed the order. Does Your Highness want to rebel? ”

He looked at the soldiers standing on the city wall and suddenly shouted, “You want to rebel with His Highness? Hurry up and open the city gates!”

His voice spread throughout the city…

The ‘commoners’ began to clamor again. “The emperor is benevolent, but the seventh prince is disrespectful?”

“This is simply disloyal and unfilial.”

“Everyone, open the city gates. His Majesty has already sent General Nangong

He back. Our good days are coming.”

Under the instigation of some people, these voices spread through the streets and alleys. The source could not be found or touched, but the more they spread, the louder the shouts became.

Nangong He laughed out loud. ” Seventh Prince, you’ve only been guarding the city for a short time. The people have lost their hearts. Open the city gates quickly. What can you do with your strength alone? ” Do you think you’re invincible just because you defeated a few alien races? Hahahaha!”

Xia Ji stared at the 30,000-strong army. They were all clad in majestic armor, like a black cloud that was about to crush the city. As he looked at them, he suddenly had a strange expression.

It seemed like…lt doesn’t look very strong. Why don’t we go down and fight?

Previously, he had fought General Guifang and the Frost Giant. After that, although he had fought with the monks, he had actually fought with the eighty-foot-tall Golden Arhat. As for charging into the army formation, he had never done so. Now that he was wearing the demonic armor, holding the black halberd, and had 408 prayer beads, he was much stronger than when he was in Thunder Sound Temple. Even if he failed, he would be able to escape unscathed.

However…They all said that one person’s strength could not fight against an army, but that was only when there was a Xuan formation. Xuan formations were obviously very rare things, and this Nangong He did not seem to have one.

How about … Fight?

If he didn’t try, how would he know if the strength of one person or an army was stronger?

Just as this thought appeared, it was out of control.

He simulated it in his mind again and realized that he was at most tired from fighting, but it did not look like he could be killed. The other party might have a magic weapon, but did he not?

So, he glanced at the Ninth Princess beside him.

Xia Xiaosu glanced in the direction of the city and heard the noise of the mob. She suddenly nodded at her brother, indicating that everything had been settled and there was no problem.

“I’ll try to break through the formation,” Xia Ji said.

Xia Xiaosu was stunned. She whispered, ” Brother, there are only 800 men of sacrifice who can charge with you. These men of sacrifice are all stuck at the critical point. They are carrying out their mission.

“I’ll try it alone,” Xia Ji said.

Without waiting for Xia Xiaosu to speak, he looked down the city wall.

At the foot of the city, the general wearing a double-winged iron helmet was still laughing. “Seventh Highness, if I were you, I would definitely open the city gates. After all, you are the son of the Emperor. Although you have done something wrong, although you are cruel and arrogant, the Emperor is magnanimous. As long as you take the thorns and beg for forgiveness, then perhaps you can let bygones be bygones.

Open the city gates quickly. You have no soldiers left in the city, and you are alone. If you weren’t a prince, I would have ordered the city gates to be attacked. Wouldn’t the city gates be broken in an instant?”

Xia Ji looked at him and suddenly jumped down from the city wall like a black meteor mixed with death energy.

The ground shook.

The cracked patterns spread out from his feet as he fell, like a huge spider web.

The smoke and dust in the center of the pit dispersed, revealing Xia Ji. He raised his head, his black hair dancing in the snow like a demon.

However, his eyes were as calm as a Buddha.

He raised his right hand, and the black halberd seemed to sense its master’s excitement. The black demonic Qi was no longer concealed, and it curled up like a snake.

He raised his left hand, and the four hundred and eight prayer beads faintly chanted Buddhist chants. Vaguely, hundreds of swastikas moved, like golden dragons winding and spiraling, but they were bound in the cage of the five fingers of the big hand, revealing only the dragon’s eyes that were filled with divine might as they stared quietly into the distance.

“General Nangong, shall we have a competition?” Xia Ji asked lightly.

When Nangong He saw this, he immediately lost all interest in fighting one-on-one. He rode his horse back into the formation, and layers of shield walls were erected. Sharp spears appeared between the walls, and then hurried footsteps could be heard. Soldiers with longbows were already in position, and behind them were armored cavalry.

Nangong He obviously had his own way of managing the army. The army formation changed very quickly, turning into an iron bucket in an instant. It was like a steel monster standing in the wind and snow, unable to be broken.

Standing in the army, he immediately felt safe, so he laughed and said, “”Seventh Prince, I know you are unusually brave, but so what? I advise you not to resist in vain. Otherwise, the emperor has given me an order.”

“What order?”

“Those who refuse to open the city gates will be killed without mercy!”

Just as he said the word “pardon”, he saw the prince walking over. Nangong He was stunned for a moment before he reacted and sneered, “Your Highness is arrogant and conceited. Then you will suffer the consequences! Release the arrows!”

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The sound of countless gears being pulled rang out as arrows shot out from the crossbows. The already gloomy sky was suddenly filled with black clouds. These black clouds enveloped the prince who did not know the immensity of heaven and earth. The arrows did not stop, and they shot out in succession.

Xia Ji looked up at the rain and saluted with his left hand. Black Buddhist light rose as the three-foot-long Ming King Dharma Form broke out of his body. His entire body doubled in size, reaching a height of nearly three meters.

Ding ding ding ding ding!

The arrows landed on the Ming King Dharma Idol, but they couldn’t even leave a mark on it, let alone break it.

Xia Ji felt the rate at which his zhenqi was being consumed and realized…

Extremely low consumption.

After all, this was the first time he was trying to fight against ten thousand alone. He still held the necessary caution and said, “Is that all you have?”

In the army formation, Nangong He’s eyes flashed with coldness. He suddenly took out a black nail, clenched it tightly, closed his eyes, and muttered something. Then, his eyes suddenly widened, and his spirit reached its peak. The nail was instantly activated, turning into a black light and shooting toward Xia Ji.

Xia Ji saw the black light.

He could sense that this was a magic tool.

There was indeed a magic tool.

He immediately became serious. Nine scorching suns broke out of his body and surrounded him, forming a second layer of defense.

The four hundred and eight prayer beads wrapped around Xia Ji’s left hand suddenly disappeared. A vast Zen power burst out like a volcano. The prayer beads disappeared one after another and turned into an extremely glaring golden light on his left palm, as if the sun was right in front of him.

As he pushed out with his left hand, the golden light quickly expanded. When the black light reached him, the golden light had just condensed into a golden Buddha palm that was 100 feet long.

The Buddha palm collided with the black light.

In an instant, the black light disappeared…

The black nail was pushed back by the powerful mental power, and the mental power within it was like a firefly hitting the sun and moon. How could it compete for glory?

As a result, the black light was instantly submerged. It lost all the characteristics of the magic tool and fell from the sky, becoming an ordinary nail.

The giant golden Buddha’s hand continued to expand and move forward at high speed.

It expanded to fifteen feet,

‘ftventy Zhang.

By the time it reached the first soldier, it had already become a huge hand that was 300 feet long.

The giant hand slammed down, and the 1,000-plus soldiers immediately fell to the ground, their shields and weapons falling to the ground.

The soldiers were suppressed by the Buddha’s hand and could not move.

Xia Ji pressed down with his left palm, and the Buddha’s hand pressed down even further.

Those soldiers did not even make a sound. They were frozen into statues. Then, they were blown by the cold wind and turned into ashes in the snow..
