But... Boom!

The Great Array Barrier accompanied Changyi Emperor’s attack, with continuous booming sounds, but it showed no sign of breaking immediately.

In other words, Changyi Emperor’s power was still unable to break through the first layer of Nidao City’s formation.

And at this moment, Shi Douxing had already started growling lowly: "Since we’re here to catch a turtle in a jar, how can we let you easily break through this layer of the Great Array Barrier? At the very least, not until we’ve wiped out your invading soldiers."

With Shi Douxing’s words, Changyong Emperor also rose into the air, roaring: "Shi Douxing, are you playing me?"

At this moment, Changyong Emperor couldn’t possibly be unaware that Shi Douxing’s previous panic and surrender were all fakes, the so-called refugees were all combat-ready. Wasn’t this playing him?

To this, Shi Douxing coldly replied: "Qianyuan Holy Demon Hall, my Nidao City is not so easy to attack."

"If you want to slaughter us, you must pay the price of being counter-slaughtered..."

He didn’t truly respond, merely with continuous battle sounds.

Speaking of which, Shi Douxing also rose into the air, displaying explosive sword intent and pointing at Changyong Emperor: "You will find that attacking my Nidao City was your greatest mistake. I want all of you to die here."

He rose with overwhelming momentum, certainly to inspire.

Even though Shi Douxing knew this battle was extremely difficult, he had to ignite the battle intent of the entire city and fight to the end.

Changyong Emperor’s face grew increasingly sullen as he watched the Qianyuan Holy Demon Soldiers being slaughtered below and thought about Young Master Yu Po’s words, the latter wanted to take the Willow Leaf City Region with zero losses.

But here, failure had already occurred; just after the battle began, his subordinates had failed!

Thinking of Pei Yupo and Pei Chang’s angry curses upon learning this, Changyong Emperor’s mood was extremely troubled, and he couldn’t help but growl angrily: "With me, Soldier Killing Array, break this barrier first!"

Although still unclear why Shi Douxing had such meticulous preparations, Changyong Emperor was now close to being unable to account to Pei Yupo and Pei Chang, so he had to break the barrier formation first before proceeding.

He could discern the strength of this barrier; with his own power, he couldn’t break it, requiring the Soldier Killing Array’s power.

Thus, the Soldier Killing Array Pattern flew from under Changyong Emperor’s feet, instantly connecting with the densely packed Qianyuan Holy Demon Soldiers behind him, then the Soldier Killing Array Power gathered into Changyong Emperor’s hand, ready to blast towards the Great Array Barrier.

At this moment, Sikong Jing on the Divine Shuttle Ship calmly spoke: "Sect Master Shi, immediately retreat from the Great Array Barrier, then personally form the Reverse Star Soldier Killing Array to resist!"

The so-called Reverse Star Soldier Killing Array was exactly Shi Douxing and the Nidao Sect’s strongest and most famous Soldier Killing Array.

And this thing was what Elder Su Su Beiheng had given him decades ago...

With Sikong Jing’s command, Shi Douxing, who was long prepared, nodded heavily and frantically unleashed his Soldier Killing Array Pattern, directly connecting with all the disciples belonging to the Nidao Sect within the city, then starlight ignited in his hand...

The next moment, as Changyong Emperor made the Soldier Killing Strike, he released the Great Array Barrier as Sikong Jing had said.

And then... Buzz!

Changyong Emperor’s Soldier Killing Strike naturally hit empty air because the Great Array had retreated!

However, his Soldier Killing Strike naturally couldn’t disappear but instead turned into a terrifying stream of light, fiercely crashing towards the city.

If it hit solidly, many people inside Nidao City would die.

But, Shi Douxing’s Reverse Star Soldier Killing Array had also been unleashed.

A huge Sword Radiance resembling a meteor collided with Changyong Emperor’s Soldier Killing Strike, the two furiously clashing in the air.

Booming sounds echoed, causing space to twist.

Both were Emperors, assembling the Soldier Killing Array Power to release an attack nearly reaching Holy Martial Stage power.

At least ordinary top-level Emperors dared not to take it head-on.

And such terrifying tremors naturally exploded with aftershocks, pressing down on those below slaughtering the Qianyuan Holy Demon Soldiers.

At this point, Sikong Jing’s voice rang out again: "City Lords, Sect Masters, Sect Leaders, initiate the Soldier Killing Small Array!"

Buzzing... Buzzing... Buzzing...

With Sikong Jing’s command, numerous small Soldier Killing Arrays opened outside Nidao City.

Because among those disguised as refugees were hidden leaders of middle and small forces such as Sect Master Zhang, many were Array Masters, capable of unleashing Soldier Killing Arrays.

In an instant, these people activated their Soldier Killing Small Arrays.

These were meant to block the terrifying aftershocks, without which people would be shaken to death on the spot.

Sure enough, the remaining Qianyuan Holy Demon Soldiers, lacking Soldier Killing Array defense, didn’t need Nidao City’s people to slaughter them; many were shaken to death bleeding from the seven apertures.

In a moment, a large number fell.

At that moment, almost all the Qianyuan Holy Demon Soldiers who had entered the Great Array Barrier were dead.

A few breaths later, as the aftershocks faded, Sikong Jing’s voice rose again: "Everyone withdraw the Soldier Killing Array, retreat!"

As the words fell, countless small Soldier Killing Arrays immediately dissolved...

And under Sect Master Zhang’s leadership, they turned and sprinted crazily towards the city interior, now that the Great Array Barrier had retreated, if they didn’t hurry to escape, they’d be slaughtered by the external Qianyuan Holy Demon Soldiers.

Meanwhile, Changyong Emperor would certainly attack them.

In this way, all disguised as refugees frantically fled, while Sect Master Zhang and others who had interacted with Sikong Jing gathered their gazes on Sikong Jing on the Divine Shuttle Ship, feeling a sense of admiration.

In fact, their actions had all been part of Sikong Jing’s earlier plans, already telling them what to do.

This was why each step of theirs was so orderly...

From disguising and fleeing to counterattack, then the barrier to block aftershocks, back to fleeing into the city, without Sikong Jing’s foresight and planning, they couldn’t have acted so precisely.

Don’t forget, they were originally scattered sands...

"The Dark Wing Commander of Overlord Commerce seems really impressive," Sect Master Zhang and others thought secretly.

And as Sect Master Zhang and others retreated frantically, gradually admiring Sikong Jing, the aftermath of the Soldier Killing collision between Shi Douxing and Changyong Emperor dissipated, the power they unleashed was evenly matched.

In the next moment, Shi Douxing and Changyong Emperor both rose high into the air, the two far away from each other at the city outskirts and center...

The killing intent seemed to crystallize between them, forming sparks.

But among them, Changyong Emperor’s face was unspeakably grim; he knew this strike was meant for the Great Array.

Yet Shi Douxing forcibly canceled the Great Array, then countered with a Soldier Killing Strike that shook many Qianyuan soldiers to death, while they were prepared with Soldier Killing Small Arrays and suffered no losses.

Having been tricked twice just upon contact was a huge humiliation for Changyong Emperor.

In contrast, Shi Douxing stood proudly, cold light flashing as he said: "Qianyuan Holy Demon Hall, you seem to be very underestimating us!"

He was deliberately provoking Changyong Emperor and others.

The Shi Douxing before was so humble and now was so dominant and arrogant, forming a stark contrast!
