It could be seen that cracks as thick as a finger appeared on the black rocks that were as smooth as mirrors at first before they spread out like ripples. Then, in cracking sounds, the rocks fell apart, and the city wall collapsed. Even a lot of Crouching Tiger Cannons and Fiery Crow Ballistae were mired in the crater. A lot of disciples of Roaring Tiger Hall fell into the depths of the city wall together with the Crouching Tiger Cannons and the Fiery Crow Ballistae. Their bones were broken, and they were screaming nonstop.
The entire city tower was under dozens of times the gravity. Both the fleshly bodies and the heavy cannons were crushed into smithereens.
Of course, in many places, the Crouching Tiger Cannons and the Fiery Crow Ballistae were caught in weightlessness and floating in midair unsteadily together with the broken rocks. The disciples of Roaring Tiger Hall waved their hands and feet in midair as if they were drowning, but they could not land on the ground however hard they struggled.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
BOOM! In a hurry, many disciples of Roaring Tiger Hall activated the Crouching Tiger Cannons and the Fiery Crow Ballistae respectively. Light balls of spiritual energy that looked like lions, tigers, or crows rushed toward the sky.
The Crouching Tiger Cannons and the Fiery Crow Ballistae were all powerful remote magical equipment. When dozens of cannons were bombarded at the same time, even the Yuanying experts would have to retreat. However, there was a fatal condition, which was that they had to hit the target.
When the Tiger Apparitions Array was fully activated, the Tiger Apparitions could stall and lock onto the target with the Tiger Apparitions. Only then could the Crouching Tiger Cannons lock onto the targets in the Yuanying level.
Right now, the Tiger Apparitions Array was gone, and the disciples of Roaring Tiger Hall who were using the Crouching Tiger Cannons were all panicking. Ba Xiaoyu the Beggar was also stirring up chaos inside the Black Tiger Fortress. How could they lock onto and aim at the target?
The seemingly powerful Crouching Tiger Cannons and the Fiery Crow Ballistae merely unleashed dazzling fireworks next to 'Iron Saint' Qi Zhongdao.
BOOM!
Right then, another deafening explosion echoed deep inside the Black Tiger Fortress. Half of the city tower was blown away like a broken hill. It flew dozens of meters into the sky before it crashed down brutally under the control of the gravity of the Heaven Flipping Seal and increased its momentum by ten times.
Half of the city tower of Roaring Tiger City was completely crushed.
As it turned out, Qi Zhongdao had squeezed the highly unstable crystal ammunition in the arsenals of the Crouching Tiger Cannons and the Gold Crow Crossbows hidden deep inside the tower to the maximum through delicate gravity control, leading to a major explosion.
In this era, the purification and stabilization technology for crystal ammunition was not very advanced. The chances of the ammunition exploding were ten times higher than in the modern Cultivation civilization.
The arsenal exploded, and half of the tower collapsed. The determination of most of the disciples of Roaring Tiger Hall to fight to the death was crushed.
Many disciples roared and abandoned the Crouching Tiger Cannons and the Fiery Crow Crossbows, fleeing into the depths of Roaring Tiger City.
Only an extremely small number of people from the Duan Clan or who had participated in the Black Fiend School's secret operations knew that they were doomed for certain, so they could only put up a desperate struggle.
However, after losing the defense of the Seven Deadly Tiger Apparitions Formation, the several dozen Yuanying and nearly a hundred Jin Dan in the sky were ten times stronger than them. No matter how desperate they were, how could they possibly jump up?
"Slay the evildoers and do justice for the heavens!"
Qi Zhongdao roared majestically. The Heaven Flipping Seal emitted brilliance that was even more dazzling than the sun at noon as it bombarded the feeble tower of Roaring Tiger Hall time and time again.
"Slay the evildoers and do justice for the heavens!"
The Jin Dan and the Yuanying of the major sects were unstoppable, too. They raised their colorful, signature magical equipment and smashed it at the tower of Roaring Tiger Hall like a storm.
In an instant, it was as if a firework convention had been held. The entire city tower was immersed in an ocean of light. The sounds of explosions, collapses, screams, groans, cheers, and battle cries rang out incessantly.
The disaster victims did not know what was going on at all. Such a scene that looked like a battle between deities was something that they had never dreamt of. They could only kneel on the ground in fear, shouting 'deities', while they trembled in fear and kowtowed nonstop.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
A few miserable shadows dashed out of the Black Tiger Fortress that had completely collapsed and fled toward the depths of Roaring Tiger Hall. They were none other than the three Yuanying of the Duan family, who had committed countless crimes.
"Slay the evildoers and do justice for the heavens!"
A hundred Yuanying and Jin Dan chased after them and marched into Roaring Tiger City like a tornado.
"Junior Brother Yan, Elder Spiritual Vulture!"
Dan Fengzi was so excited that his face was flushed. He said with a smile, "Let's go and slay the evildoers and do justice for the heavens, too!"
Frowning, 'Sword Maniac' Yan Liren shook his head and said, "There are so many of you. It's more than enough. I shouldn't have drawn my sword in such a place."
Dan Fengzi was rebuffed, but he had long known his weird junior brother's temper. Therefore, he was not bothered at all. He turned his eyes to Li Yao and said excitedly, "Elder Spiritual Vulture, let's go now. If other people eliminate all the evildoers of the Black Devil Cult and excavate the few secret warehouses of the Black Devil Cult, we will be in a passive position."
Seeing that Master Bitter Cicada and Ba Xiaoyu the Beggar had both rushed into Roaring Tiger City, Li Yao glanced at the disaster victims outside of the city who were suffering from hunger and cold. He sighed and said, "Alright. Let's go."
Roaring Tiger City was already a mess.
In the natural disasters, those who were qualified to take refuge in Roaring Tiger City, other than the families of the disciples of Roaring Tiger Hall, the relatives of the evil Cultivators of the Black Devil Cult, and the servants of the vassal families of Roaring Tiger Hall, were the tenants who farmed the fields of Roaring Tiger Hall.
It was safe to say that they were all vassals of Roaring Tiger Hall.
Naturally, those people were highly hostile to the outsiders. If it were a regular sect that was attacking, they would certainly fight the enemy without caring about the cost in order to protect Roaring Tiger City.
However, faced with almost a hundred intimidating Yuanying and Jin Dan, it did not matter whether or not the mobsters would resist.
Explosions and fires were breaking out everywhere in Roaring Tiger City. Panicked crowds were running in circles like ants whose nest had been set on fire, not knowing what to do.
Now that the crowd was in chaos, the disciples of Roaring Tiger Hall could not do anything at all. If they were separated from the crowd and flew into the sky, they would be the most obvious targets. If dozens of Yuanying and Jin Dan attacked at the same time, they would be blown into meat paste even if they were covered in ten layers of spiritual shields.
Very soon, with Ba Xiaoyu the Beggar leading the way and following the tails of the three shadows, Li Yao, in the middle of almost a hundred Jin Dan and Yuanying who looked like hyenas, rushed to the outside of a temple at the center of Roaring Tiger City that had been built in the shape of a golden tiger.
It was the headquarters of Roaring Tiger Hall. There was a board above the temple, on which two bold words, 'Soaring Dragon and Roaring Tiger', were written. It was quite ironic at this moment.
"Leader Duan, with everything coming to this point, what do you have to say for yourself?"
Holding the Heaven Flipping Seal, Qi Zhongdao looked down at him solemnly from the high ground.
"Master Righteous One, you attacked my headquarters, destroyed my city, and killed countless disciples of my sect just because of Ba Xiaoyu's words. How vicious you are!"
Furious roars of an old man were echoing inside Roaring Tiger Hall, like the last roar of a heavily wounded, hungry tiger that was trapped in a trap.
"A one-sided statement."
Qi Zhongdao burst into laughter. "Everybody in the world of Cultivators knows that Senior Ba Xiaoyu the Beggar is a chivalrous man who abhors evil. Would he have made up such a one-sided statement without solid evidence?
"Leader Duan, if you are still not convinced, come out and confront me. Who is the mysterious Yuanying who is with you and who looks so similar to you? Also, how many secret treasuries are there in Roaring Tiger City? Open them all and let the fellow Cultivators of the major sects inspect them. See if there are any Cultivation arts and secret treasures left by the sects that were supposedly annihilated by the White Lotus Cult in the past thirty years.
"If there are, how do you explain it? Is Roaring Tiger Hall not related to the Black Devil Cult but secretly colluding with the White Lotus Cult?"
Silence reigned inside Roaring Tiger Hall, as if three mad tigers who had run into a dead end were running around in circles, unable to make any sound.
"If you do not have the courage to confront me, what else can you be but guilty?"
Qi Zhongdao glared at him and declared loudly, "Duan Tiande, as a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator and the leader of the righteous sects in the West River State, not only do you not understand the principles of compassion, helping the weak, and eliminating the evils, you even degenerated and degenerated yourself. You established the Fiend Cult, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of heinous crimes.
"Today, the scheme of Roaring Tiger Hall and the Black Devil Cult has been exposed. This is the moment of retribution for your entire family. What do you have to say now that you are about to be killed?"
His speech was so righteous that it was irrefutable. His soundwaves spread to the entire Roaring Tiger City, which was awed by Qi Zhongdao's righteousness and fell into brief silence.
Roaring Tiger Hall was silent for a long time, too. Then, the most desolate laughter burst out. Duan Tiande, the leader of Roaring Tiger Hall, seemed to have gone mad. He laughed so hard that he could barely catch his breath before he shouted at the top of his lungs, "The winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit. What do I have to say?
"That's right. The Black Fiend School was founded by us two brothers. Over the past few decades, there were a total of fifteen sects that we took advantage of during the chaos of the White Lotus Sect to completely annihilate and rob."
"Had it not been for that, how could Roaring Tiger Hall survive and develop in such a man-eating world?
"Hehe, hehehehe, it's true that the Duan Family is full of evil and heinous crimes, but isn't that what you learned from the major sects in the central plains who pretend to be righteous on the surface but are actually full of ulcers?"
"The Grand Mystery Sect, the Purple Pole Sword Sect, the Thunderstorm Valley, the Flying Spirit Island, and the Monster Taming Pavilion.
"When the six major sects of the Cultivators were established, how many clandestine deals did you do? How many innocent people's blood and souls were stained on your hands? How many sects that were in your way were eliminated in secret? Don't think that the Cultivators have forgotten everything after hundreds of years.
"Right now, you are rich and powerful, and you have climbed to the top of the world of Cultivators. Yet, you have forgotten all the dirty things in the past and are talking about slaying the evils and enforcing justice on behalf of the heavens."
