Looking at the sky full of smoke and the Dao Realm clones falling one by one, everyone's faces turned pale. Their eyes were filled with despair. This kind of enemy was not something they could resist.
Nangong Yan stood on the broken city gate, her eyes bloodshot. She kept calling out Lin Yun's name in her heart.
On one hand, she wanted Lin Yun to save them and the Southern Summer King Nation once again.
On the other hand, after seeing Jian Cheng's true strength, she didn't want Lin Yun to come. She was worried that Lin Yun wasn't Jian Cheng's match.
Over the years, Nangong Yan had heard about everything that had happened in the Divine Realm, including Lin Yun. However, that was only limited to before Lin Tianyang and Yang Zhaochan had returned to the Martial Sky Continent, which was when the war with the Dark Sect had broken out.
Whether it was Lin Yun killing Wu Zun or appearing in the pinnacle war, the people of the Martial Sky Continent still didn't know about these things. Now, she still thought that Lin Yun only had the strength of Wu Huang.
"Sword Qi Rock Transformation!"
The sword in Jian Cheng's right hand looked like it was made of magma, and it overflowed with flames.
He slashed forward with the sword, bringing with it boundless divine power.
In an instant, dozens of Sword Qi flew out from his longsword.
These Sword Qi distorted in the void and formed magma rocks with a diameter of ten meters.
"Kill!"
Dozens of Lin Yun's Dao Realm clones raised their swords to block.
However, these magma rocks were so powerful that they exploded the moment they came into contact with anything.
The terrifying blast carried with it a scalding heatwave, which immediately set the nearby Dao Realm clones ablaze.
It should be known that the Dao Realm clones that Lin Yun had left in the Martial Sky Continent weren't made of the best materials, but they could at least unleash the strength of a level-nine Wu Huang.
With dozens of Dao Realm clones working together, even if they encountered an ordinary level-1 Wu Sheng, they would at least be able to put up a fight.
Unfortunately, Jian Cheng's Martial Soul was able to create magma, which was a deadly counter to the Dao Realm clone that was made of wood.
In a very short time, at least ten Dao Realm clones were destroyed by Jian Cheng.
Jian Cheng's face was filled with excitement and madness, including Lin Yun's Celestial Realm. That was an existence that could rival a Sect Master. Now that he had killed his clone here, if the news spread back to the Celestial Realm, Jian Cheng's reputation would definitely soar.
As time passed, the situation became worse and worse. Although the number of clones destroyed was decreasing, most of them had lost the ability to continue fighting.
The entire world fell into a deathly silence.
The people hiding in Royal City were all trembling. Their gazes were sometimes cast towards the sky, and sometimes towards the palace.
Although Lin Yun had saved the Martial Sky Continent, this matter concerned their own lives. Very few people were willing to sacrifice their lives to protect Lin Tianyang and Yang Zhaochan.
Nangong Yan bit her lip, feeling extremely anxious. She knew what the people were thinking, but she didn't blame them.
A person's life is for himself.
In the face of such a calamity, it was understandable that they would choose to protect themselves.
"King! Let Lin Tianyang and Yang Zhaochan come out! "
"We don't want to die here!"
"I beg you, please save our lives!"
One of the people knelt down and begged Nangong Yan. Behind him were his two young children.
More people knelt down and begged Nangong Yan to hand over Lin Tianyang and Yang Zhaochan.
Although they knew that Jian Cheng's claim that they would be safe if they handed over Lin Tianyang and Yang Zhaochan might be false.
Even so, they wanted to fight for the slightest chance of survival.
"You!"
The eyes of the two guards beside Nangong Yan almost popped out of their sockets. Their hearts were filled with hatred.
If it wasn't for Lin Yun, let alone the Southern Summer King, the entire Martial Sky Continent might have been destroyed.
Now, these people actually wanted to betray Lin Yun in order to survive.
"Don't blame them." Nangong Yan shook her head and signaled the two guards to stop talking.
The faith of the soldiers and the faith of the people were different.
The majority of the Southern Summer King's soldiers had either heard of Lin Yun's deeds or followed Lin Yun. Their feelings were different. They believed in the strong and valued friendship. That was why they were willing to sacrifice their lives for Lin Yun and the Southern Summer Kingdom.
But the people only wanted stability. Compared to their country, they wanted to protect their loved ones more.
"Hahaha! Do you think you can stop me with this bunch of stinky fish and shrimps? " Jian Cheng raised his head and laughed. He held the head of a Dao Realm clone and tossed it to Nangong Yan's feet.
Nangong Yan's expression changed drastically. Although it was only a Dao Realm avatar, it was enough to make her fall into a trance. She was worried that the same thing would happen when Lin Yun arrived.
"Hand over Lin Tianyang and Yang Zhaochan. I'll give you one last chance. My promise is still valid."
Jian Cheng swung his sword behind him.
In that instant, the sword qi split the earth and then the Southern Summer Kingdom soldiers along the way were all split in half.
The entire battlefield became silent. Even Lin Yun's Dao Realm clone was unable to stop Jian Cheng. This time, the Southern Summer King's Dao Realm clone had been defeated.
"Dream on! There are no cowards in the Southern Summer Kingdom. Even if we die, we won't hand over Father and Mother of the Nation!" The Country Guarding Lord was already on the verge of death, but he still roared with all his might.
This furious roar also worsened his injuries, causing him to continuously cough up blood.
"Your bones are quite hard. In that case, I would like to see if your bones are harder or if my sword is harder." Jian Cheng snorted coldly and raised his sword. A sharp Sword Qi flew out and accurately pierced through the Country Guarding Lord's body.
The Country Guarding Lord gritted his teeth and did not let himself scream. Instead, this provoked Jian Cheng's anger.
Just as Jian Cheng was about to make another move, an imposing voice was heard.
"Stop!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Lin Tianyang and Yang Zhaochan holding hands as they walked toward the broken city gate from the depths of the city.
When the commoners who were kneeling on the ground saw Lin Tianyang and Yang Zhaochan, they lowered their heads and did not dare to look at them.
In the end, they felt guilty. Lin Yun had saved the Sky Martial Continent, but now, in order to live, they did not hesitate to hand over Lin Tianyang and Yang Zhaochan.
"Father of the Nation, please reconsider!" Many soldiers blocked Lin Tianyang and Yang Zhaochan, not wanting them to go out.
"Move to the side. This started because of us, so we should end it." Lin Tianyang had a righteous expression and there was no fear in his eyes.
Yang Zhaochan looked around and saw the corpses all over the ground. Her eyes were already filled with tears.
