The Keep Sword Pass was breached just like that? Was it really that easy?
The clan leader looked at the servant in shock. "Are you sure? How long has it been since Wu Weijun left South Geng City? Even if they were to advance at full speed, they would only have reached Keep Sword Pass two hours ago. How could they have breached it just like that? "
"It's not just breached." The servant panted. "There's no more Keep Sword Pass in this world!"
"Keep Sword Pass has been destroyed?!" someone exclaimed.
The aristocrats of Royal City received the news almost at the same time. Then, everyone fell silent.
Keep Sword Pass was famous throughout the history of Lü Zhou. Many battles had taken place at Keep Sword Pass, and each battle proved how sturdy and dangerous the pass was.
Now that this pass was in the hands of Duanmu Huangqi, even when Duanmu Huangqi had gathered 200,000 Blackfeather Army, he had not touched the guards at Keep Sword Pass. Therefore, the aristocrats of Royal City had thought that even if this pass was breached, it would only be a matter of a month later.
Yet, as soon as they said that, they were slapped in the face by the news!
This was because they did not know that Lü Shu had obtained the Vibrating Mountain Armor, something that even Duanmu Huangqi did not want to face. They also did not know that Lü Shu had already advanced to become a Great Grandmaster on Earth.
In fact, no one could have imagined it. In the impression of the aristocrats of Royal City, when Lü Shu had left Royal City, he had only just advanced to Rank-1. That strange and enormous Heaven and Earth Anomaly clearly belonged to Lü Shu.
How long had it been since that Anomaly? It had not even been a year. Who would have thought that Lü Shu had already become a Great Grandmaster?
Asymmetric information would lead to vastly different results. The guards at Keep Sword Pass did not think of this either. Therefore, when Wu Weijun arrived, although the commander knew that they might not be able to defend the pass, he still shouted that they would fight to the death.
But when the group of Inner Hall Straightaway began to run, they felt that something was wrong. Zhang Weiyu and the others accelerated madly in the sky with an imposing manner. Lv Shu did not attack immediately, because Li Liang said that he wanted to show him Lv Zhou's greatest weapon for guarding the pass.
He wanted to see how the Inner Palace Guards would destroy this weapon!
Stay Sword Pass was located between two towering and steep peaks. Although Zhang Weiyu and the others could fly over it, Li Heitan and the others could not!
Suddenly, a secret door on the walls of Keep Sword Pass opened. Behind the secret door were soldiers guarding the city. Twelve of them worked together to control a huge ballista.
Before Zhang Weiyu and the others could get close, the twelve soldiers pulled open the mechanism of the ballista. The body of the ballista lit up with silver-white veins. Even the bolts on the ballista were the same.
The silver bolts roared as they flew towards Zhang Weiyu and the others. They were even faster than the speed at which Zhang Weiyu and the others were flying!
Lü Shu was about to attack but was stopped by Li Liang. "Your Majesty, there is no need to rush. We are prepared!"
Just as the mechanism of the ballista was triggered, Zhang Weiyu and the others descended. They had known about the existence of this thing from the beginning and had made sufficient preparations.
As the commander-in-chief of the Blackfeather Army, how could Li Liang not know about the trump card of Keep Sword Pass? The ballista was called Silver Wing. It was used to kill first rank experts who wanted to fly over the walls.
Zhang Weiyu and the others sprinted on the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust that was almost as high as the walls of Keep Sword Pass. The black armors were like wild beasts that roamed the land, their claws and teeth fierce.
They did not plan to fly again. Instead, the fifty or so people from the inner palace clashed against the base of the Keep Sword Mountain Pass together. Black hexagonal ripples appeared on the Quaking Mountain Armor of the fifty or so people, forming a wall, clashing heavily against the base of the city.
Following that, the black energy shot out from the Quaking Mountain Armor like hellfire from purgatory. That was the power of the collision. It circulated through the seals engraved on the Quaking Mountain Armor before returning to its original position, which was Keep Sword Pass!
Cracks started to spread out from the bottom of Keep Sword Pass. No one had expected Zhang Weiyu and the others to break through the pass in such an explosive and direct manner. They had only used the characteristics of the Quaking Mountain Armor and the speed of the fifty or so first rank experts to destroy the foundations of Keep Sword Pass!
The cracks below were like a spider's web that kept spreading upwards. The power that the Quaking Mountain Armor had transmitted into the cracks was like black lightning that kept sweeping upwards. The commander-in-chief of Keep Sword Pass, who had said that he would fight to the death, looked to both sides in shock. Even the two strange peaks that they had relied on as natural strongholds were shaking!
Lü Shu watched this scene calmly. This was the first time that the Quaking Mountain Armor had unleashed its full power in the hands of fifty or so first rank experts. It turned out that the destructive power created by this combined force was so terrifying.
"Run!" the commander-in-chief of Keep Sword Pass roared, "Keep Sword Pass is going to be destroyed!"
However, it was already too late to run now. Cracks had also appeared on the walls of the city that they were in. The power that the Quaking Mountain Armor transmitted was swallowing in and out of the cracks, just like the hellfire from hell that was devouring lives.
Ouyang Li Shang had once said that the Quaking Mountain Armor was the bane of all cities in the world. There was no blunt force that could harm the Quaking Mountain Armor. This was the meaning of Quaking Mountain.
In less than an hour after Lü Shu and the others arrived at Keep Sword Pass, the famous Keep Sword Pass of Lü Zhou had been destroyed.
This was not a simple matter of breaking through the pass. Wherever Mituryū Kanao passed through, there would probably be no passes left behind, only ruins.
It was no wonder that the Old Divine King had given the Quaking Mountain Armor to Duanmu Huangqi, who was in charge of attacking cities and territories. Furthermore, Duanmu Huangqi would always be able to bring his men of sacrifice and use the Quaking Mountain Armor to take down enemy camps from the rear. It must be known that at that time, the Old Divine King did not have so many elite soldiers under his command, and Duanmu Huangqi was only a first rank expert.
Lü Shu looked at the withering Keep Sword Pass and exclaimed in admiration, "Spectacular!"
Li Heitan and the others stood to the side and had nothing to do. They could only watch as Zhang Weiyu and the others completed the magnificent feat of destroying the city and retreated safely. Didn't they say that they would attack the city together? How did they manage to destroy the city with just over fifty people?
However, Li Heitan and the others knew that Lü Shu had at least a few dozen Quaking Mountain Armors in his possession. This was also the reason why Mituryū Kanao and the others were working so hard. They all knew that whoever broke through to the first rank would be the next person to put on the Quaking Mountain Armor.
Therefore, even though they looked like they were just standing there with nothing to do, they were actually cultivating in secret, holding back their energy.
Ever since Wu Weijun joined the army, he had not properly cultivated. If he was not riding a horse, he would be carrying rocks. He had managed to survive those days, and now, cultivating while standing was like a game to him. There was probably no other army in Lü Zhou who would dare to cultivate like this and risk going berserk.
With the current average strength of Mituryū Kanao, any one of them would be able to take on the position of a commander in any other army.
Lü Shu looked at Li Heitan's envious gaze and said with a smile, "Do you know why you still can't put on the Quaking Mountain Armor?"
Li Heitan thought for a moment and said, "Because I haven't eaten any gazelle meat."
Lü Shu, "???"
