Chapter 520: Chapter 521: Sorry to Disappoint You

At the periphery of the twenty-seven states of the Boundary Country, the massive army of the Huaxia Empire had already gathered. Sky Soaring Battleships carrying the Imperial Army advanced into the area, employing the same tactics as before.

When the towering city appeared ahead, it hindered the forward march of the Huaxia Empire’s formidable army, preventing further advance.

Meanwhile, Lin Qian had also moved to the very front of the Renhuang Martial Emperor, gazing towards the city ahead.

It must be said that the Boundary Country was indeed wealthier than the usual forces, evident simply by the scale of the city ahead.

The city looked like a country unto itself, with mountains and lakes within, and at a casual glance, the end was not even visible.

In the sky above the city, the Yuan Yu of the Boundary Country hovered, warily watching the front.

The terrifying combat power of the Huaxia Army had reached their ears.

However, upon witnessing it firsthand, they finally understood why they had never heard of the Huaxia Empire’s defeats as one after another power in the Southern Domain was obliterated by them.

The enormous battleship, breaking through the clouds and moving slowly, resembled a metallic beast from a distant unknown land, searching for food to hunt.

Despite this deep glowing vessel being merely an inanimate object, they still felt tremendous pressure in their hearts.

As they drew nearer, they clearly saw the Imperial Army arranged neatly on the Sky Soaring Battleship, fully armed to the teeth.

Even from a great distance, based on appearance alone, the soul device armor of the Imperial Army of the Huaxia Empire seemed more majestic and impressive than theirs.

Nevertheless, their morale wasn’t chaotic because they too had their trump cards.

The next moment, the War Beast Army remained hidden in the rear, motionless, while ten Sky Soaring Battleships gathered and lined up in a row, positioned slightly below the Renhuang Martial Emperor.

The Imperial Army on the battleships all watched the opponents, with the generals standing at the forefront, fully prepared.

Two assault type battleships were farther behind; once Lin Qian gave the command, they would accelerate and rush forward, smashing any obstacle of the Huaxia Empire into smithereens.

Further behind, on another Sky Soaring Battleship, many construction parts were continuously unloaded, and under the control of the male craftsmen of the Fire Department, quickly assembled into several heavy soul cannons aimed at the city of the Boundary Country ahead.

However, upon seeing the constructed heavy soul cannons, and those on the Sky Soaring Battleship aimed in their direction, the Yuan Yu of the Boundary Country, including the Awakening Realm commanders, revealed a hint of a scheming triumph.

Though all the powers in the Southern Domain had devised a way to counter soul cannons, it was the Boundary Country that had developed this method.

Indeed, the Boundary Country generously taught this technique to other forces in the Southern Domain, albeit for a fee of soul crystals.

But, the Boundary Country had only passed on an incomplete Array that couldn’t exhibit its full potential!

It could be said that the other forces in the Southern Domain were thoroughly duped by the Boundary Country.

Seeing the numerous soul cannons, the Yuan Yu of the Boundary Country showed a relieved expression, as if they were eager for the Huaxia Empire to employ the soul cannons.

Lin Qian, of course, understood what the people of the Boundary Country were thinking. He still raised the Emperor Sword in his hand, pointing ahead, “Fire!”

With Lin Qian’s command, the whirlwind that had been ready for a long time swiftly moved into position, throwing a metal disc containing an Array virus toward the front.

The metal disk touched the Array, where the Array virus instantly eroded into it, continuously destroying its internal structure.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

At the same time, nearly all the soul cannons were firing simultaneously, accompanied by deafening roars as beams of Soul Power poured out.

“Ha ha ha, Huaxia Empire, let me show you the prowess of the Boundary Country,” seeing the soul cannons firing, the general of Yuan Yu’s army laughed arrogantly.

At the same time, the Array Masters who had been among Yuan Yu’s army moved to the forefront, summoning Soul Devices, which were indeed various Array Maps.

The Array virus could only corrode Arrays that took root on the ground and relied on buildings.

Such as the Array Maps in the hands of these Array Masters, there was simply no way.

The Array Maps summoned out of thin air instantly congealed various Array patterns in mid-air, the rotating Arrays forming barriers, merely manifesting the inherent patterns of the Arrays, radiating jade light, and defending the front of the city.

Jade Return Formation!

The chief Array Master of Boundary Country, Master Qian Yu’s proudest Array, specifically created after studying the soul cannons of the Huaxia Empire.

How soul cannons could gather Soul Power through inanimate objects and fire without dispersing without the will of Soul Martial Artists, he did not know.

However, one thing was certain, the attacks of the soul cannons, unmingled with the will of Soul Martial Artists, were purely Soul Power.

And this pure Soul Power could be entirely reflected back by using an Array.

An eye for an eye, that was the plan of Boundary Country.

The soul cannon attacks from the Huaxia Empire were covering the sky and overwhelming, which was also what Boundary Country hoped to see.

The more and stronger the attacks from the Huaxia Empire, the reasoning when reflecting them back was the same, letting them reap what they sow.

As for why other forces failed,

Possibly because they of Boundary Country had held back, teaching the Jade Return Formation only as an unfinished product, and without the power of Boundary Country, the produced Arrays were of lower quality.

“A very ingenious Array indeed, and this kind of Array can actually rebound the soul cannon attacks of our Empire,” at this moment, Lin Qian’s voice suddenly came from afar, clearly heard by everyone on the side of Boundary Country.

At the forefront of the Renhuang Martial Emperor Ship, Lin Qian watched the Jade Return Formation ahead, appearing like solid city walls, his face showing an appreciative expression: “However, this kind of Array has one drawback, it can only form a barrier in one direction to block attacks.”

“That is to say, it can only block attacks from this side. And you are well aware of this, hence during the soul cannon attack, you summoned the Array Maps, consolidating the Jade Return Formation, but …”

When Lin Qian reached this point, the originally straight beams of Soul Power suddenly bent ninety degrees, fiercely rushing upward into the sky.

The connection between the soul cannons and the Soul Power beams had already been severed, and there was no longer any obstacle between Lin Qian and Yuan Yu’s army, each could see the other clearly.

The ascending Soul Power attacks were like a meteor shower, crazily plummeting downward.

Looking at the stunned faces of the people from Boundary Country, Lin Qian sighed: “Sorry to disappoint you, but my soul cannon can turn corners.”
