I Have A Martial Dao World-Chapter 428 - : 428. Terracotta Warriors

Chapter 428: 428. Terracotta Warriors

The light door not only looked exactly like the Star Alliance’s teleportation gate in appearance but also worked in precisely the same way.

Lu Yao and his companions were instantly transported to a magnificent place!

At the end of their sight lay a palace complex so grand that its end could not be seen, with walls nearly a hundred meters high. The broad moat resembled the surface of the Yangtze River, brimming with a shiny silver liquid, which was actually mercury.

Many bronze lamps used for lighting were also suspended from above, each as big as a car, burning oil that emitted wafts of fragrance, giving off dim light.

The girls looked around, and Fran couldn’t help but emerge from the Lake Sword, her mouth agape in shock:

“To build such a spectacular underground palace thousands of meters deep, it is indeed the strong State of Qin!”

Liao Ya said, “This place is very similar to the Immortal Qin Ruins we shattered with a tank the last time… almost identical, just more exquisite and majestic.”

Li Pei explained, “That’s normal. The ruins we explored last time were built by a sorcerer named Lu Sheng for studying the Otherworld’s No. 2 Star Key.”

However, as she spoke, her expression darkened, “The First Emperor… hasn’t turned into one of those tentacled monsters, has he?”

The Liao Family Sisters also showed expressions of disgust, the beauties inherently repelled by such grotesque creatures.

At this moment, Lu Yao was also pondering this matter.

Li Pei was right; the ruins they had explored before were indeed constructed by the sorcerer Lu Sheng to research the Otherworld’s No. 2 Star Key.

Like the Star Alliance Country’s biological labs, dangerous research was, of course, kept far from the empire’s heart, which is why Lu Sheng came to Yuezhou, then a wild land, to start his work.

“Just don’t know what might be inside this Mausoleum Underground Palace…”

While Lu Yao contemplated, he opened the Space-Time Bubble. He directly took out a tank and the Fire God Cannons of the three girls.

Countless items appeared out of nowhere, a truly magical sight.

The three girls close to Lu Yao showed no surprise, for they had seen it many times before.

Yu Yanmei exclaimed, “So you really do have a Cave Heaven Minor World…”

This Grandmaster woman exclaimed then quickly composed herself. There had always been rumors on the rivers and lakes, and she was mentally prepared for this.

Moreover, Lu Yao was showing it off openly, clearly trusting her a lot. Yu Yanmei was quite pleased, her lips curling slightly.

But Fran, who hadn’t known him for long, found it hard to accept, her already large eyes now round as saucers:

“Holy Knight! You actually possess a space treasure!!!”

Lu Yao modestly said, “Yes, you’ve found out~”

By now, he no longer felt the need to carefully hide anything; many things could be displayed openly.

Fran seemed to see Lu Yao in a new light, scrutinizing him from top to bottom again, her eyes flickering with thoughts.

Lu Yao said, “Don’t keep popping out at every turn; hide back in the sword to be our trump card.”

“All right, my dear Holy Knight,” Fran replied warmly with a smile, performing a curtsey before returning to the Lake Sword hanging on Lu Yao’s back, looking docile in an unaccustomed way.

And it was at this moment that a wave of loud noises came, signaling that the others had finally arrived.

The first to come in were the armies of the Imperial Court’s three Great Grandmasters, with Yuan Kaisheng’s new army being the most elite. Dressed head to toe in Western gear, their formations bore a hint of modern military influence.

Following were the Joyful Bodhisattva, Lin Mengsheng, and a host of other martial artists from the rivers and lakes.

In total, the various factions comprised tens of thousands of people. Despite their discord, they barely maintained cooperation for the sake of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor.

~~~~~~~~~~

The sight of the distant palace complex instantly invigorated the crowd.

With a wave of their hands, the Great Grandmasters ordered the army to begin marching.

Tanks led the way, infantry coordinated, and machine guns and cannons were at the ready. The martial artists kept vigilant and followed.

As they drew closer, everyone could see clearly the nameplate hanging over the city gate. It read “Magnet Gate” in small seal script, engraved with three large characters.

Everyone suddenly became abuzz with discussion:

“The Magnet Gate! Isn’t that the gateway to Epang Palace?”

“How wonderful! It really is the Imperial City of The First Emperor of Qin!”

“These magnificent palaces are one thing, but they look so new. Could someone be maintaining them all this time…”

No sooner had these words been spoken than everyone heard the uniform footsteps converging like a coming flood.

“They’re coming! It’s the terracotta warriors guarding the Underground Palace!”

Those with sharp eyes saw that from a distance, a vast battle formation composed of countless guards was charging over!

There were many of these guards, at least 20,000, but none of them were alive. Instead, they were terracotta figures made from clay.

They were fully equipped with armor and weapons, each exquisitely lifelike and distinct in appearance.

Lu Yao asked curiously, “Terracotta soldiers?”

Liao Qe said excitedly, “I’ve seen them in folk stories too! It is said that the Qin terracotta warriors guarding the Underground Palace are inexhaustible.”

In the midst of the conversation, the army opened fire.

Cannons roared, machine guns raked, and amidst the intense explosions, the terracotta soldiers hadn’t even gotten close before they were sent sprawling, shattered into pieces.

While fearless and tough as nails, their strength was only at the level of Bone-Tempering. They were no match for the firepower and were instantly cleaned up, leaving only fragments on the ground.

Having dealt with the terracotta warriors so easily, everyone, including several Great Grandmasters, was quite exhilarated.

Even Zhang Wenda touched his beard and smiled, while some, ignorant of the true challenges, felt that the Mausoleum of the First Emperor was nothing special!

~~~~~~~~~~~~

At the same time, terracotta warriors were also attacking from the direction of Lu Yao and his family.

But just as they were getting ready to fight, the terracotta warriors did not attack and instead turned away and left.

The group exchanged puzzled looks. Only Lu Yao, holding the Dragon Pattern Mirror, had a faint guess in his mind…

Setting aside their doubts, they continued forward.

Stepping over the broken fragments of terracotta soldiers, they arrived at the city’s defensive moat. They didn’t rush forward but started to set up defenses to stabilize their footing.

Yuan Kaisheng’s new army began setting up “heavy artillery positions” 5 kilometers away.

Those with nothing better to do gazed at the towering palace walls with thick greed written on their faces.

The value contained within the Mausoleum of The First Emperor was beyond numerical expression, any small artifact taken out would be a fortune that one could not spend in several lifetimes!

Though rationally aware that this place was no simple matter, the greed in people’s hearts had been thoroughly ignited. They were ready to face even a path of knives and fires without care.

Moreover, having dealt with the terracotta soldiers so easily had also fostered a sense of luck among them. They thought that the defensive devices of the pre-Qin relics were no match for modern firepower.

Once the “heavy artillery positions” were set up, this mentality reached its peak.

A Spirit Refining Gunner manned a 152MM caliber cannon and took a trial shot at the city wall.

In a burst of intense light and sound, a huge cannonball roared out of the barrel and sped toward the palace wall.

The next second, the moat made of mercury suddenly raised a wavelet, blocking the cannonball!

The mercury in the moat began to boil, rising like a tide and forming indistinct human figures as it churned.

When people finally made out what they were, their faces fell—

In front of them, mercury had formed countless three-zhang tall warriors dressed in Qin Dynasty armor, each holding spears, halberds, swords, and various weapons. Once again, they formed a battle formation and charged!

One didn’t need to use their backside to know that this time, they would not be dealt with so easily!
