C752 The Power of the Emperor
C752 The Power of the Emperor
It was simply like a world of meat, with people continuously crippled and dying.
The men of the three mercenary groups looked very majestic and powerful, but most of them were below the Celestial Sovereign realm. There were only a few hundred people above the Celestial Sovereign realm. Moreover, they came from different camps, so they were unable to form a tacit understanding between each other. Ling Xiao had deeply imprinted the scene of Yao Kuang's death in their hearts.
They had long lost their confidence in fighting Ling Xiao.
That was why such a one-sided slaughter had occurred.
If they were a group of people who had been trained for a long time and knew how to work together to attack the formation, Ling Xiao might not be able to kill these people so easily.
As a half-step Imperial Rank, Zhong Bo and Black Fire were still alive, but their hearts were still cold.
They were all filled with regret. How could they have thought that Ling Xiao would be so abnormal? It was just that the strength of the Celestial Sovereign of High Rank had already displayed the strength of a Imperial Rank World Power. Moreover, this wasn't an ordinary World Power. It was the kind of Emperor Level World Power that only one in ten thousand could possess.
They were afraid. They were afraid that they would follow in Yao Kuang's footsteps. There was only one thought in their minds, 'Run!'
Unfortunately, they were enveloped by Ling Xiao's World Power. Those various attacks made them extremely embarrassed.
"City Lord Ling... please be merciful. I... I, Zhong Bo, surrender!" Zhong Bo had lost all confidence. He begged Ling Xiao, who was waving his Golden Dragon Spear.
When Black Fire heard Zhong Bo's words, he did not hesitate. "Yes, yes... City Lord Ling, we surrender... We surrender. Please let us go!
It was not easy for them to obtain their cultivation base. There were still a lot of days left to live. They did not want to die just like that.
Ling Xiao didn't say anything. He moved like a god, arriving in front of the two of them. The Golden Dragon Spear smashed down towards the two of them without any mercy.
Tyrant Dragon Spear Art - Dance with the Dragon!
Tiny golden dragons with violent abilities blasted towards the two people respectively.
Their expressions changed drastically. Just as they wanted to escape, they were entangled by countless vines.
This temporary delay was enough to take their lives!
"No!" The pupils of the two people constricted as they roared with unwillingness.
Rumble! Rumble!
Along with the rumbling sound, two Half Martial Emperors perished just like that!
"Hu... I have no way of supporting it!" Ling Xiao let out a soft sigh. His Qi instantly dropped by quite a bit, and the range of the World Power also shrunk by quite a bit.
He swept his gaze across the people who were still alive in all directions and roared, "Those who don't surrender will die!
Those who don't surrender will die!
This dignified voice spread across all directions, spreading across the battlefield outside of Wind Cloud City.
Ling Xiao's body was wrapped around the glazed Dragon Scale battle armor. A giant golden dragon phantom appeared above his head as if it was solid. The aura of an ancient emperor made people feel the urge to worship him.
The people around Xuan Yao bowed to Ling Xiao and said, "The city lord is invincible. Those who don't surrender will die.
"The City Lord is invincible. Those who don't surrender will die!
"City Lord is invincible, those who don't surrender will die!
...
A majestic voice that sounded like the descent of heaven's might spread out in all directions. It was like a drum and tomb bell that struck the hearts of everyone.
Regardless of whether it was the mercenaries who had invaded or the people who were watching from afar, they all felt an irresistible heaven's might that made their hearts tremble.
In the end, their psychological defense was completely broken by the majestic figure that was like a god of war or an emperor.
Each and every one of them dropped their weapons, stopped resisting, and knelt down towards the figure.
One, ten, a hundred... in the end, the remaining five to six thousand mercenaries who had not died all surrendered.
It was a dark mass that looked incomparably majestic and shocking!
The man in the sky, the man in charge of the pass, the aura of ten thousand enemies, was deeply imprinted in the hearts of everyone, including those who followed him.
All of them were full of admiration, respect, and worship!
"Young Master is so handsome!" Yao Qingmin's face was full of stars as she looked at Ling Xiao and exclaimed.
Bing Ruoshui, who was at the side, also had eyes full of admiration. She nodded repeatedly and said, "En, so mighty, so cool!
The few girls at the side were all infatuated. It seemed that this was the first time they had met such a powerful Ling Xiao. Their eyes were full of stars.
Xuan Yao lightly waved the white paper fan and said with a faint smile, "The might of an emperor has already been unleashed. Who else can stop the young master's footsteps?
Ye Yunfeng said excitedly, "It would be great if I had half of Young Master's ability. In Young Master's eyes, Profound Monarch is just like slaughtering dogs. Killing them is just too enjoyable!"
Han Kai sighed lightly and said. "Not bad. This kid's future path has already been opened. Unless an old man appears, the future of the world will definitely belong to this kid.
Only now did Feng Ya truly witness the brutal scene of Ling Xiao killing. He finally understood why his big brother, Cann Bao, was so loyal to Ling Xiao.
Other than his combat strength being abnormal, he was also a high-rank alchemist. A young emperor with two identities like this was not worth following. Who else was worthy of following?
Ling Xiao swept a glance with satisfaction and withdrew his aura. Only now did he speak in a low voice, "Yun'er, Cann Bao, Uncle Liu. I'll leave them to you all to deal with. Whoever is willing to pledge loyalty to me, Ling Xiao, will allow them to act as guards within the city. If they don't submit, then kill them!
The reason why Ling Xiao allowed the three of them to take over these people was because Feng Xianyun could use poison to control them first, so that they wouldn't dare to betray them. Cann Bao and Liu Qun had a certain amount of power in the past, and they could also suppress these people.
Xuan Yao also ordered those warriors who had followed Ling Xiao earlier to start cleaning up the battlefield.
After this battle, Ling Xiao's fame was boundless for a time. No one dared to provoke his dignity in Wind Cloud City and the surroundings of Death Mountain Range. Instead, many martial artists started to seek refuge with Ling Xiao.
For a time, there was a stage where martial artists caused trouble.
Hence, Ling Xiao had no choice but to let Xuan Yao carefully select the people. Those who did not have strength and did not obey the managers, those who did not have enough loyalty, were not allowed to join City Lord's Mansion.
Although Ling Xiao had some wealth, it was impossible for him to keep everyone alive.
Xuan Yao also began to speak, implementing another management plan. It allowed many warriors to be self-sufficient, temporarily alleviating Ling Xiao's urgent need.
That was to let the majority of martial artists take turns entering the Death Mountain Range to hunt medicinal Spirit Beasts or search for spirit herbs, making them pay tribute to City Lord's Mansion. They could accumulate points, and at that time, City Lord's Mansion could provide them with some kind of advancement medicinal Pills, or suitable Profound Skill incantations, or spirit artifacts! When they reached a certain amount of points, they could also become people of the inner palace of the City Lord's Mansion, and their status would greatly increase.
This action undoubtedly encouraged those warriors who had sided with Ling Xiao. They did not have to worry about losing their freedom because they were bound too tightly, and they did not have to worry about becoming slaves in the City Lord's Mansion.
Of course, this plan of indulgence was only for those people in the outer region of the City Lord's Mansion. After they became Inner Palace people, the situation was greatly different.
The people of the Inner Palace would be Ling Xiao's true direct descendants. They would be nurtured very well, and at the same time, their requirements would be very high.
On this day, another large group of people came to seek refuge with Ling Xiao.
Surprisingly, they came from Gale mercenary group, led by Commander Yang Xianfeng.
Ling Xiao sat on the jade seat in the hall. The city lord looked majestic.
Yang Xianfeng brought his best friends and knelt in front of Ling Xiao nervously.
They had witnessed the battle not long ago with their own eyes. This smiling young man was a man who would kill without mercy. If the young man was not satisfied, they would not be able to leave City Lord's Mansion.
Ling Xiao didn't say anything. Xuan Yao, who was sitting down, said indifferently. "I don't know why Commander Yang wants to join City Lord's Mansion. With your current strength, your mercenary group should be the only one in Death Mountain Range.
Xuan Yao's words were a test of Yang Xianfeng and the others' loyalty.
Yang Xianfeng said unhurriedly, "City Lord Ling has come to Wind Cloud City to kill the commanders of the three mercenary groups and subdue the three groups of soldiers. Although there are many of them, there are not many people who can use them. Therefore, I dare to recommend myself. I am willing to be City Lord Ling's loyal follower. The three thousand soldiers under my command will be at City Lord Ling's command.
Yang Xianfeng had joined Ling Xiao after some consideration.
Ling Xiao's combat strength was unparalleled. He was also a Medicine Refining Master of Seventh Grade. He followed Ling Xiao. In the future, he would definitely be able to improve. He was also tired of hunting Spirit Beasts in the mountain range and finding opportunities. He also wanted to enjoy the feeling of being bestowed upon him. Moreover, he was very optimistic about Ling Xiao's future prospects.
Yang Xianfeng and Yao Kuang's personalities were different. His thoughts were still rough and he knew how to make choices. Moreover, his ambitions were not great. This meant that he could only become a general and not a king.
Xuan Yao had seen through Yang Xianfeng's facial features.
Xuan Yao said, "My young master is indeed a servant. We do not doubt Commander Yang's intention to seek refuge. However, it is not sincere enough for you to come here empty-handed.
Yang Xianfeng was already prepared. He immediately took out a pile of Spirit Herb of High Ranks and said, "This is some of my intentions. I only hope that City Lord Ling can take us in. We will do our best to help City Lord Ling!
The pile of spirit herbs in front of him were all above Fifth Grade. There were quite a number of Sixth Rank, and there were actually quite a few Seventh Grade spirit herbs as well.
With Yang Xianfeng's half-step Sovereign strength, being able to take out these spirit herbs was already a sign of his sincerity.
Xuan Yao glanced at Ling Xiao, waiting for Ling Xiao to make his decision.
Yang Xianfeng and his brothers looked at Ling Xiao nervously, waiting for Ling Xiao's answer.
Ling Xiao lightly tapped the edge of the chair, staring at the people below, as if he wanted to see through their hearts.
"You want me to accept you all? I can also give up these spirit herbs. As long as you can help me with something, you can immediately become an elder of the Inner Palace," Ling Xiao said indifferently.
Yang Xianfeng and the others immediately expressed their stance, "Please instruct us. We will definitely fulfill our mission to the death!
Ling Xiao smiled in satisfaction. "The people of Gu family are about to arrive at Wind Cloud City. You can take their heads and see me!
Yang Xianfeng and the others were shocked when they heard this.
