The warrior's head fell from the sky and rolled on the rain-soaked street like a rubber ball, leaving a red trail. That head continued to roll for more than 30 meters and didn't stop until it reached the curb of the road.
The warrior's eyes were wide open, and there was still a trace of shock on his face before his death. His eyes were lifeless as he looked at the sky. Bean-sized raindrops splashed on his face, and in just a moment, his face had lost all color and turned ghastly pale.
A pair of black leather boots with spurs appeared beside the warrior's head. Then, a pair of coarse big hands picked up the warrior's head. With a sigh, the big hands closed the warrior's eyes.
The person who picked up the warrior's head was wearing a raincoat. He had a purplish-black face and a beard. His face was weathered, and the wrinkles between his eyebrows formed a deep 'Sichuan' character. He carried a powerful sniper rifle on his back and held the warrior's head in one hand as he looked in the direction Xia Pingan had left with a complicated gaze. On the long street, Xia Pingan and the black horse had already disappeared into the curtain of rain and the long street, leaving behind the wreckage and debris on the ground emitting smoke in the heavy rain …
"Big Brother …" One by one, men wearing raincoats and carrying guns walked out from the buildings on both sides of the street and stood behind the man. All of them, including the bearded man, had a total of 13 people, each of them emitting a cold aura.
If anyone who was familiar with the bounty hunter circle in Shang Jing City saw them, they would know that these thirteen people were the unique "Thirteen Godly Gun Guards" of Shang Jing City. These thirteen people were One-Sun realm summoners and sharpshooters. They were best at killing monsters with rune bullets. The thirteen of them always acted together as if they were one person.
"Big Brother, what about you just now? Why didn't you let us continue?" A man in his thirties stood out and asked.
The bearded man, the big brother of the Thirteen Godly Spear Team, retracted his gaze and said in a hoarse voice, "If we continue, we will all die here today. We can't stop that man …"
"How can that be?" "I still have some rune bullets that I haven't used yet. I don't believe that the 13 of us can't deal with him!"
"Just now when he crossed this short street, you saw that he used the water shield to block the 147 bullets that we shot. You thought that it consumed a lot of his divine power …"
"Isn't it?"
"That man is a rune master, a powerful rune master. He's much more powerful than me. Just now, I felt that there was an invisible rune hidden in his water shield. That rune dissolved all of our attacks. He received our attacks effortlessly. If we didn't attack him with firearms and he didn't want to waste time here, our brothers of the 13 Godly Spear Team would all die here today!" The voice of the big brother of the 13 Godly Spear Team was trembling with fear.
"Big brother, are you saying that the water shield just now is just … just a bait that he made for us to see? He wants to lure us out?" One of the members of the 13 Godly Spear Team asked in disbelief.
"I'm afraid so. If I wasn't a rune master, I wouldn't have been able to sense the Divine Talisman hidden in his water shield. I feel that his Divine Talisman hasn't been fully used yet. It might be a powerful chain talisman that integrates both offense and defense. He has already been able to incorporate the changes of the Dao of Runes into his spells. Such a person is too terrifying. We can't stay in Shang Jing City any longer. We have to leave as soon as we finish this business with the Huang Family. That person is the envoy inspector. He can easily find out what we did here today. If he comes back to his senses and uses his power to settle accounts with us, we won't be able to leave even if we want to. Even if we don't die, if he really wants to punish us, I'm afraid that we will be imprisoned in Shang Jing City for decades …"
The other members of the Thirteen Godly Spear Team all changed their expressions when they heard their big brother's words.
"Big brother, we'll listen to you …"
The bearded man said resolutely, "As long as we have the ability to make a living, we can make a name for ourselves wherever we go. The Blood Demon Sect might make trouble in Shang Jing City recently. It's getting more and more dangerous to stay here!"
"Big brother, there are many powerhouses of the Fire Dragon Sect in front of us. The Huang Family has put in a lot of effort this time …"
"Trust me, the Fire Dragon Sect can't stop them. Let's leave now …" The bearded man made a prompt decision as he threw away the head in his hand and wiped off the rainwater on his face. "Retreat …"
One of the 13 people whistled. In the blink of an eye, 13 fast horses rushed out of the alley beside them. The 13 people jumped on the horses and shook the reins. Then, they stabbed the abdomen of the horses with their leather boots with spurs. The 13 fast horses neighed and rushed into the heavy rain under the leadership of the bearded man. They disappeared in the blink of an eye.
…
Godly Spear Team of 13 Godly Spear Team?
'I'll remember it. You're smart …'
Xia Pingan galloped on the black horse. As the 13 people disappeared, he retracted his "gaze" from afar.
Xia Pingan didn't know what the Fire Dragon Sect was. There were many forces in Shang Jing City. Therefore, he didn't know where the Fire Dragon Sect was from.
…
In a few minutes, the horse had galloped several miles on the street. When Xia Pingan turned around a street, his pupils suddenly shrank.
The street in front of him was silent. All the shops on both sides of the street were closed. There was no one on the street.
However, there were rows of slave soldiers and elite slave soldiers standing silently on the street.
In the heavy rain, those slave soldiers and elite slave soldiers were like statues. They stood still on the street with their eyes closed. There were about 700 to 800 of them in a square formation.
Behind these slave soldiers, there were hundreds of infantry soldiers who were summoned in a square formation.
After the summoned infantry, there were five water giants that were five to six meters tall.
Five summoners wearing white terracotta masks stood behind the five giants and looked at Xia Pingan coldly.
This formation was like a battlefield. They were determined to stop Xia Pingan.
"Mr. Inspector, we don't want to be enemies with the Judgement Army and the Inspection Department. However, we have to do this because of someone. Please put down Young Master Huang. Otherwise, we'll offend you!" One of the five summoners standing in the middle spoke. His voice had also changed. It was unknown whether he was a man or a woman.
"Isn't it just the Fire Dragon Gang? Since you have the guts to rob the criminals of my East Port Inspection Department, why are you still hiding?" Xia Pingan laughed coldly as he looked at the five summoners. "According to the law of the Shang Dynasty, except for the summoners of the Judgement Army and the armies guarding Shang Jing City, other summoners are forbidden from summoning soldiers or battle dolls in Shang Jing City. How dare you, the Fire Dragon Sect, form a formation in public on the street …"
The five summoners were silent. They didn't expect Xia Pingan to identify them so quickly.
"I don't know what the Mr. Inspector is talking about. What Fire Dragon Sect? We don't know them …" The one who changed his voice continued to speak. However, there was a hint of guilt in his voice.
Xia Pingan pointed at the five summoners and said coldly, "I'll give you one last chance. The Fire Dragon Sect will tear down this formation now and come to the Inspection Department tomorrow to explain the situation and admit your mistakes. I'll give you a lenient punishment. However, if you don't realize your mistakes and continue to oppose me, I'll definitely uproot the Fire Dragon Sect from Shang Jing City and turn you into homeless dogs!"
Xia Pingan was alone while the five summoners and the military formation were on the other side. However, the momentum of the two sides seemed to be reversed. Xia Pingan seemed to be the one in a commanding position while the five summoners were just a "small group" of "stubborn fellows" who were surrounded by the army.
"We're giving you face, but you don't want it. Do you really think we're afraid of you …" One of the Summoners among the five couldn't help but roar in that oppressive atmosphere. He stepped forward and pointed at Xia Pingan.
The moment that person stepped forward, those slave soldiers who were holding long spears in the front, those elite slave soldiers who were carrying javelins in the back, those infantrymen and giants in the back all opened their eyes at once, revealing flashing red eyes. Raising their weapons, they stepped forward at the same time.
"Boom …" Hundreds of people stepped on the road, creating a loud boom, shaking the puddles of water on the road. Their might was impressive, especially the five giants that were summoned at the back. They had boundless strength, and with a single step, they created a huge pit on the road.
Xia Pingan burst out laughing in the rain as the two front hooves of the black horse under him stood up at once. "Come on if you want to fight!"
Xia Pingan waved his hand, causing the indistinct gate of the military camp to appear behind him. At the same time, the rumbling sound of iron hooves sounded behind him. A storm cavalryman who was fully covered in armor, carrying a battle bow and lifting a long spear, instantly leaped out of Xia Pingan's back in an awe-inspiring manner.
Of course, this was not the only storm cavalryman who leaped out of Xia Pingan's back. In the rumbling sound of iron hooves, storm cavalrymen leaped out of the gate of the military camp behind Xia Pingan like ferocious tigers and black torrents.
"Kill …" Xia Pingan bellowed as he spurred his horse forward, charging towards the enemy's formation.
The vast expanse of storm cavalrymen blew their horns and followed Xia Pingan's charge like a magnificent army galloping on the long street. The rumbling sound of iron hooves shook the faces of the summoners on the opposite side.
"Storm Cavalrymen …" A summoner wearing a mask cried out in alarm.
Before the elite slave soldiers in the formation could throw their javelins, the storm cavalrymen's dense rain of arrows had already fallen.
Those slave soldiers, elite slave soldiers, as well as the infantry behind them, before the storm cavalrymen's arrows could even touch them, they were all turned into light and dissipated …
This was the storm cavalrymen who dominated the grasslands, the storm cavalrymen who erased the Xiongnu tribe from history. How could those slave soldiers and infantry be a match for such a valiant cavalry?
Xia Pingan didn't summon ordinary storm cavalrymen, but elite storm cavalrymen.
The previously awe-inspiring formation was pierced through by the storm of arrows in the blink of an eye.
The storm cavalrymen roared, their murderous aura like frost. The rain on the street shook and splashed among the cavalrymen. The storm cavalrymen summoned by Xia Pingan were like black storm armor sweeping over. The few spear-wielding slave soldiers standing in the front row were like bubbles under the attack of the storm cavalrymen. They were annihilated and dissipated into light, unable to withstand a single blow …
The summoned giants on the opposite side were furious and charged towards the storm cavalrymen.
That giant ran over five meters with a single step, faster than a warhorse. When the giant's feet stepped on the road, the road surface was about to crack.
The storm cavalrymen's arrows hit the giant's body, but they couldn't break through the giant's defense. Like thorns piercing into a person's body, the arrowheads fell off in the blink of an eye after entering half an inch.
The running giants were very fast. After the storm cavalrymen pierced through the formation of the slave soldiers and infantry in the blink of an eye, the two sides met on the street.
The running giants stretched out their hands and icicle-like cudgels appeared in their hands. The cudgels smashed towards the storm cavalrymen's heads.
"Boom …" The storm cavalrymen who were hit by the cudgels in the hands of the giants disappeared in the blink of an eye.
However, the storm cavalrymen didn't use bows and arrows against the giants. Instead, they picked up their lances.
As the warhorses galloped, the storm cavalrymen held their lances and stabbed them towards the stomachs, necks, and other places of the giants.
As the lances pierced their bodies, the movements of the giants who were waving the icicles gradually slowed down. Finally, they collapsed and dissipated into light.
Such a battle could be said to be tragic.
The storm cavalrymen continued to charge under the giant's cudgels, stabbing their lances into the giants' bodies.
In the flashes of light, the storm cavalrymen and giants fell at the same time.
The storm cavalrymen's lances collided with the icicles in the hands of the giants. The fragments of the icicles splattered on the street. The windows, windows, walls, and the flowers and grass on both sides of the street were riddled with holes. It was as if they had been bombarded by a terrifying hailstorm.
Xia Pingan passed by the storm cavalrymen and took the lead to charge towards the five summoners.
In an instant, dozens of fireballs, icicles, and arrows flew towards Xia Pingan from the front. It was as dense as a shower. It was as if a wall was crashing into him. There was no way to avoid it.
The summoner wearing the mask who spoke to Xia Pingan just now gritted his teeth and waved his hand. Two more rainwater giants were summoned.
As soon as the two giants were summoned, they rushed towards Xia Pingan.
A water ball appeared around Xia Pingan's body. The water ball danced and turned into several huge ice shields, protecting Xia Pingan and his mount. The word "shield" flashed on the ice shields. The countless attacks, fireballs, icicles, and arrows flying towards Xia Pingan were all blocked by the ice shields in an instant.
Even when the fireballs hit the ice shields, the ice shields were not damaged at all. They were extremely stiff and showed no signs of melting.
As for the icicles and arrows that hit the ice shields, they were useless. The icicles shattered and only left a faint mark on the ice shields. The mark was repaired in the blink of an eye and disappeared in the rain.
"Impossible, the ice shields can't be so strong …" The summoner on the opposite side exclaimed, thinking that he had seen wrongly.
Under such intensive bombardment, Xia Pingan's ice shields did not break. This was too surprising. Because the ice shields did not break, many of the follow-up spells were disrupted by Xia Pingan.
However, the ice shields flying in front of Xia Pingan were not damaged at all.
Ice Shield and Water Shield were both water type magical techniques. Of course, ordinary water type magical techniques were not so powerful. However, Xia Pingan's ice shield was not a simple water type magical technique. The ice shield was supported by the word "shield" — a combination of runes and magical techniques.
Some time ago, Xia Pingan fused with a "contradictory" Divine Power Realm Pearl. Unknowingly, he mastered the words "spear" and "shield". Xia Pingan found that the word "shield" he mastered could be used in combination with the water-type spell, the Water Shield Technique. When the two were combined, the power would be multiplied. The sturdiness of the shield was beyond his imagination.
Previously, when he was attacked and intercepted by the Spear Team of 13 Guardians, there was a "shield" rune hidden in the water ball that protected his body.
The ice shields blocked the icicles, fireballs, and arrows, but they could not stop the charging giants.
In the blink of an eye, the two giants had rushed to a place more than 20 meters away from Xia Pingan.
Xia Pingan's hand quickly wrote the word "spear" in the air. Under the heavy rain, a flame appeared in Xia Pingan's hand. The flame grew and extended. In the blink of an eye, it became a 7-8 meters long flaming spear.
The flaming spear burned like a torch in the night, but also like the giant's war spear.
Xia Pingan rushed towards the giants with the flaming spear. When the first giant waved the icicle in his hand to smash Xia Pingan, the horse neighed and jumped. The flaming spear in Xia Pingan's hand directly hit the giant's head.
The giant's head exploded when it was hit by the flaming spear. Its body scattered into countless water droplets and rolled on the ground.
The second giant rushed over. Xia Pingan's flaming spear directly pierced through the giant's chest.
Xia Pingan roared and exerted force with both hands. The flaming spear directly lifted the giant from the ground and hung on the tip of the spear. With a shake of the spear, the flaming giant suddenly turned into water vapor and dissipated.
The flaming spear burned even more fiercely.
Xia Pingan, riding on the black horse, held the flaming spear and galloped on the long street. He was like a knight who descended from heaven and hell.
A summoner on the opposite side summoned a strange swordsman. The swordsman flew directly towards Xia Pingan at lightning speed. The long sword in his hand was aimed at Xia Pingan's neck.
Xia Pingan roared and threw the flaming spear.
The flaming spear cut through the space of dozens of meters and passed through the strange swordsman. In an instant, the summoned swordsman dissipated into light.
However, the flaming spear did not stop. Instead, it continued to fly forward.
The summoner who had just summoned the swordsman was pierced through the chest by Xia Pingan's spear. He did not even have time to groan before his whole body burst into flames. Half of his body turned into ashes in the blink of an eye. The flaming spear exploded and turned into a rain of fire. The summoner who had been pierced through by Xia Pingan's flaming spear disappeared in the blink of an eye. Not even ashes were left.
The battle between summoners was sometimes cruel and dangerous. In the blink of an eye, life and death were separated. Not even bones were left.
"Second Brother …" A summoner next to him roared in grief and indignation. He looked at Xia Pingan again. His eyes under the mask were red. "I'll fight you to the death …"
The summoner roared. His whole body shone with divine light. His robe fluttered. He made a gesture with both hands. A scorching fire dragon flew out from his body and flew towards Xia Pingan.
The fire dragon was hot. As soon as it flew out, the lampposts on the side of the road melted.
Xia Pingan, who was on horseback, only said two words. "Xuanwu …"
The world suddenly became quiet. A huge black Xuanwu crawled out from behind Xia Pingan. It had a tortoise body and a snake head. Its body was no longer as big as a car.
Xuanwu was the god of water. In this rainstorm, Xuanwu's power was unimaginable.
Xuanwu looked up at the sky. The air seemed to be still.
The raindrops all over the sky gathered here. The raindrops turned black and fell on the fire dragon.
The fire dragon's burning scales began to fall off piece by piece. It was like a real dragon being cut into pieces. The summoned fire dragon twisted in the air and still wanted to fly towards Xia Pingan. However, more and more black raindrops fell on its body …
In addition to the burning scales, the flesh and bones on the fire dragon's body also began to fall off piece by piece. Its whole body was shrinking bit by bit. The dragon horn condensed by flames was also shattering.
Before the fire dragon could fly to Xia Pingan, it completely disappeared in the black rain.
The black rain not only fell on the fire dragon, but also on the summoner who summoned the fire dragon.
The first drop of black rain passed through the water shield summoned by the summoner and fell from the top of his head. It dripped down from his chin. A bloody hole appeared on the summoner's head and chin.
The summoner screamed. His body swayed and the water shield dissipated.
A large amount of black rain fell from the sky. The summoner's body was like a piece of ice cream. It melted in the black rain in the blink of an eye. Not even dregs were left.
The remaining summoners looked at Xuanwu and the black raindrops falling from the sky in horror. They used all their spells, but their bodies were pierced with dozens of bloody holes in the blink of an eye. Their clothes were like sieves. Blood spurted out and they retreated in a sorry state.
Xuanwu twisted his snake-like head and crawled towards those people. When his foot landed on the ground, the water on the ground began to freeze. The snow-white frost quickly spread towards those summoners.
"Retreat …" The summoner who changed his voice to talk to Xia Pingan finally spoke. His tone was filled with unprecedented panic and fear.
A ball of scorching fire exploded at the place where those few people were standing. When the fire dissipated, those few Summoners had already disappeared. However, there was still a frozen foot on the ground — the owner of that foot had escaped, but the other foot was a bit slower. From the knee down, it would forever remain here. In the blink of an eye, it shattered and turned into ice shards …
