BXBX NOVEL Chapter Volume 16 37: Everyone Has Their Own Wills
However, all of them had their own wills. Moreover, human hearts were always things that not even one understood themselves.
Even though the heavy armored soldier and heavy cavalry couldn’t see Lin Xi and the others, they could tell how grave the atmosphere was.
Most of these Yunqin soldiers weren’t even sure if Lin Xi’s method of killing Yunqin Emperor and having the Imperial Princess take his place was the right choice. Right now, if Lin Xi gave the orders for them to head out and kill Zhang Ping, to give up their lives to whittle away at Zhang Ping’s strength, they might instead do the opposite. But when they heard that his voice was still telling them to retreat, the soul weapon heavy armors and heavy cavalry at the very front only froze up for a moment.
After this momentary sluggishness, most of the soul weapon heavy armors and heavy cavalry also released bitter screams. Their speeds of charging instead became even faster than before!
The astonishing Yunqin heavy armored troop and heavy cavalry began a decisive charge!
This roaring stream of steel sent bricks and stone chips flying everywhere. This entire street was instantly enveloped within a suffocating storm of steel.
All of the roof tiles and windows around them exploded under the vibrating of Green King and White Tiger Heavy Armors. Energy surged around these heavy armors’ bodies, leaving behind countless fine streaks in the air.
This great charge that trampled apart walls and courtyards was even more majestic than a charging formation on the battlefield.
However, when these heavy metal bodies began to decisively charge through Central Continent City’s streets, Lin Xi’s face that was already pale became even more transparent.
“Zhang Ping!”
His retreating figure screamed out bitterly at the pursuing Zhang Ping.
He shared Principal Zhang’s unique ability, and back when he was still in Green Luan Academy, Vice Principal Xia even classified this as the highest level secret. However, he never let this get to his head. In all of his previous battles, he would always fight with his own life on the line if it meant that he could lighten the load for his companions even a little bit.
His scream even carried a bit of pleading. He was even willing to beg if that would make Zhang Ping let these admirable Yunqin soldiers go. He would even let Zhang Ping escape.
However, even under his roars, Zhang Ping’s head still hung down.
The sapphire armor continued to advance, its figure exceptionally cold and resolute.
…
Endless nets and chains were instantly flung over, wrapping Zhang Ping within.
After throwing out these nets and chains, wrapping layers and layers of them around Zhang Ping’s body, the dozens or so armored riders at the very front already charged at Zhang Ping. These Yunqin heavy cavalry’s roars erupted at the same time. Together with the momentum of their charge, they rammed ferociously into Zhang Ping’s body.
Crack!
All of these riders instantly felt as if the heavy cavalry pikes in their hands smashed into a giant steel mountain. They only heard their wrists and the hooves of their mounts release bone fracturing sounds.
These dozen or so heavy cavalry, under the tremendous recoil force, all lost the pikes in their hands. Their warhorses also began to fall over one after another.
The head lowered sapphire armor didn’t resist in the slightest. Under the thrusts of these pikes, the sapphire armor grinded intensely against the nets and chains around its body.
Ear-piercing metal grinding noises continuously sounded.
Right at this time, there were pieces of armguard-like sapphire colored metal armor that came off of its two arms. These two pieces cracked apart, combined, and then extended, separately creating two long and narrow sapphire blue long blades.
The long blade in his hands began to spin. Just like a sickle cutting through soft grass, it easily cut through the layers of steel wiring and chains wrapped around its body.
The heavy armored soldiers passed the collapsed heavy cavalry, still decisively charging at this sapphire blue metal armor.
Among them, two Green King Heavy Armors that were already standing in front of it, blocking its path, suddenly froze.
The soldiers inside couldn’t keep up with this armor’s speed at all. They only saw their eyes blur, and then after cutting through layer after layer of steel nets and chains, the sapphire armor already arrived in front of them.
This sapphire armor didn’t brandish the blades in its hands.
It only walked straight forward.
The two Green King Heavy Armors blocked precisely in front of it, so the results were extremely simple. This sapphire armor collided with the two Green King Heavy Armors.
Muffled metal smashing noises sounded. Countless heavy breaths sounded.
The two Green King Heavy Armors were sent flying, the smashed armor flying in all directions.
A mind numbing feeling of horror continuously swept through this street packed with metal figures like a tide.
Previously, everyone was already fully aware of the power of Zhang Ping’s armor. However, this direct visual representation clearly displayed what type of power it had.
Even if some large scale military equipment smashed into the Green King Heavy Armor, there would only be some traces left behind, at worst cave in a bit. However, when they crashed into Zhang Ping’s armor, this steel armor that many soldiers were immensely proud of was instead smashed like ceramic!
Moreover, everyone clearly saw that Zhang Ping’s sapphire armor didn’t cave in at all, not even suffering a scratch.
Just what kind of disparity was this?!
The closer they were to the two collapsed Green King Heavy Armors, the more shock they naturally felt. The several dozen heavy armors and heavy cavalry closest to Zhang Ping immediately felt their bodies becoming a bit rigid. However, immediately afterwards, they released deep roars, continuing their charge.
Pikes snapped.
Armors ruptured.
Bodies were smashed apart.
Endless steel fragments and blood scattered around this sapphire armor.
The sapphire armor continued to advance. All of the metal figures that charged up to it either collapsed, were sent flying backwards, or were flung high into the air.
These Yunqin soul weapon heavy armors that used to be moving fortresses in the eyes of all soldiers were now instead like ocean waves that crashed upon a sturdy shore, all of them smashed and shattered.
Lin Xi’s body was trembling.
As these heavy armored soldiers and heavy cavalry threw themselves over in various ways, and were then sent flying in all different manners, and then even more heavy armors and heavy cavalry charged up, it was as if countless black ants were frantically trying to stop a powerful beetle. He already couldn’t utter a single sound.
“Head north.” An extremely low voice that was almost inaudible entered Lin Xi’s ears.
…
North was a Central Continent City gate.
This city gate pass’s sluice gate had already been shut half a day ago. However, when Lin Xi and the others charged through the chaotic street and appeared under the giant city wall’s shadows, they looked just like cornered ants without any way out.
Heavy metal striking sounds and homes collapsing still continuously sounded behind them.
Lin Xi stood under the shadows of the city wall while gasping for breath. He did his best to sort out the nearly empty amount of soul force within him.
The head drooped sapphire armor was still slaughtering those iron-blooded Yunqin soldiers. Endless heavy black metal limbs were left behind. Right now, in Lin Xi’s line of sight, this sapphire armor was still like a giant beetle amidst black ants. There didn’t seem to be any chance of winning.
However, the academy arranged more power than ever before in Central Continent City. He knew that the academy still had one final decisive retaliation.
Chi!
A pike that was cleaved in half dropped from the sky, landing in front of Lin Xi and the others.
Boom!
In this instant, a muffled, war drum like noise sounded, sounding like the rhythm of Star General’s Advance. Vibrating noises began to sound.
When the vibrating noises sounded, Zhang Ping whose head was originally hung suddenly raised his head upwards.
The sky and the vital energies above this city gate tower were torn apart by metal, to the extent where all types of strange light flames and patterns took form.
Countless crossbow arrows the size of arms completely covered the sky’s brilliance, bringing terrifying streams and sonic booms as they descended from the air.
All types of powerful heavy military equipment were arranged on Yunqin’s city walls. However, almost all of the soldiers here were certain that this wall never had so many heavy crossbows.
This shocking amount of heavy crossbows could only have been transported over to this city wall by someone not too long ago.
After the endless giant crossbow arrows descended, a streak of dazzling arrow radiance that was even more blinding than the sun suddenly appeared.
Zhang Ping who now raised his head knew that this was Geren Luan Academy’s most decisive counterattack in this city.
He looked at the giant crossbow arrows that completely covered the sky, muttering to himself quietly with an expressionless voice, “Is it because I want to kill Lin Xi that all of you want to kill me?”
Under his muttering voice, the sapphire blue armor he wore became entirely red, as if it was going to melt.
A ring of red-purple fiery light surrounded his sapphire armor.
This was Yunqin history’s most precise and magnificent barrage of heavy crossbows. All of the giant crossbow arrows gathered within several zhang of range with great accuracy. They formed a stream of iron that poured onto Zhang Ping.
When the giant crossbow arrows made contact with the red-purple fiery light, they would directly melt into scarlet red liquid, and then drip onto Zhang Ping’s body like rain.
The rising sun like arrow radiance also landed on Zhang Ping.
Nangong Weiyang and Lin Xi’s flying swords also appeared at the same time, landing where the arrow radiance fell.
Zhang Ping was drowned under dazzling light.
