Chapter 282: 168: Suo Lun Miracle! Undead Legion!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Suo Lun’s movements didn’t stop; he fired Chain Arrows once again.

These arrows drew a straight line through the air, instantly covering several hundred meters.

At this moment, the difference of a top-class noble house was evident. As soon as Suo Lun’s second volley was released, the Samurai of the Turing Clan immediately shielded Turing Duo, retreating rapidly to the main army formation while holding her.

Whereas Lord Ji Gang of Tianye City’s guard squad was momentarily stunned before hurriedly dragging Ji Gang to retreat.

"Thud thud thud thud..."

Suo Lun’s Chain Arrows all struck Ji Gang, penetrating his head and chest, with blood spurting out wildly.

Ji Gang, who was initially only unconscious, now couldn’t be deader.

Meanwhile, the samurai from the Turing Clan were very decisive, not pausing for an instant. Several hundred cavalry encircled Turing Duo as they galloped eastwards towards the nearest Dragon Temple for treatment.

Everything happened so quickly that by the time Ji Gang was thoroughly slain, everyone finally came to their senses.

Was all that just a dream?

Could Lord Ji Gang really be dead? He was, after all, the uncrowned king of Tianye City, having served as its City Lord for over ten years.

Even though Ji Gang received only fifteen percent of Tianye City’s annual revenue, less than Yan Yan, Ji Gang still controlled several merchant caravans, and no one could compare to his wealth.

Even though his martial arts skills weren’t the best, he had the most money and the most troops, and thus without question, he became the leader of the Allied Army.

And now, he was dead just like that.

The most shocked person at the moment was Yan Yan beside him. Yan Yan could clearly sense the level of Suo Lun’s cultivation the moment the arrow was fired, which, at best, was of an intermediate Samurai archer.

That level wasn’t enough to kill either Ji Gang or Turing Duo, yet Suo Lun had truly killed Ji Gang.

How did he do it? The arrow he fired was clearly deflected, so why could it have knocked down both Ji Gang and Turing Duo?

...

A dead silence fell over the entire field!

Ji Gang was dead, and Turing Duo’s fate was uncertain.

Instantly, the forty-thousand-strong Allied Army outside Huangquan Ancient City was left headless.

Suo Lun shouted loudly, "Where are the other ten elders of Tianye City?"

No one emerged, for Suo Lun’s arrows were too terrifying. What they didn’t know was that the radiant energy absorbed by Yao Xing was nearly exhausted, and Suo Lun’s subsequent arrows wouldn’t be that powerful anymore, easily blockable by any high-level samurai.

"What is it?" someone shouted loudly from the enemy camp.

"Ji Gang is dead, Turing Duo has fled; what’s the point for you to stay here? Withdraw your troops," Suo Lun said.

A moment of silence reigned within the enemy forces, and after a while, a middle-aged man’s voice said, "We can’t withdraw now."

Suo Lun asked, "Who are you, sir?"

"Ou Wuyang!" the man replied.

Ou Wuyang, the leader of the third greatest power in Tianye City.

Suo Lun said, "Lord Ou Wuyang, why can’t you withdraw?"

Ou Wuyang replied, "This war has already cost us close to a hundred thousand Gold Coins, not to mention innumerable losses in trade routes. If we withdraw now, we will have gained nothing."

Suo Lun said, "Isn’t the share left by Ji Gang enough for you?"

Ou Wuyang replied, "It’s not enough. If you add the Silver Wolf’s share, then it’s almost enough. Besides, the Silver Wolf Legion is as good as dead, so it’s better to finish them off altogether. Moreover, if we don’t kill the Silver Wolf Legion today, they may rise again from the ashes and come back stronger, threatening everyone present."

Suo Lun was momentarily taken aback by the cunning seen in these formidable characters everywhere.

"Lord Ou Wuyang, are you not afraid that pushing too hard will end badly for both parties?" Suo Lun said with a sneer.

Ou Wuyang replied, "You have less than a thousand men. We have tens of thousands. Lord Suo Lun, those few arrows of yours seem very formidable, but they are futile; how many can you kill? The Silver Wolf Legion is at its weakest and easiest to eliminate right now. Miss this chance, and it will never come again."

Upon hearing this, Suo Lun knew that despite killing Ji Gang, the situation was far from resolved. There were still ten leaders of the Allied Army; withdrawing was impossible.

At this point, Yan Yan was about to step forward and reveal himself.

As the King of Wolves, Yan Yan held extremely high prestige; Ji Gang was dead, and Yan Yan believed he could intimidate some of them.

However, Suo Lun prevented Yan Yan from showing himself.

The remaining Tianye City magnates were all ambitious, and if the Silver Wolf Legion were at its peak, it could certainly intimidate them. But the current Silver Wolf Legion was a dying tiger, and even if Yan Yan was formidable, he was just one man.

Moreover, Ou Wuyang was right; this was the easiest time to kill the Silver Wolf Legion. Miss this opportunity, and it would never arise again.

And at that moment, suddenly a knight rode up swiftly, shouting loudly, "My lord says, the two arrows shot by Suo Lun utilized the evil beings inside Huangquan Ancient City; they are not to be feared. Elders of Tianye City, whoever kills Suo Lun first will become the new Lord of Tianye City."

Without a doubt, the knight’s lord was Turing Duo, she had clearly not died.

This declaration instantly inflamed the ambitions of the Tianye City elders present, making them restless.

Ou Wuyang roared, "The Silver Wolf Legion is bound to die today. All crossbowmen advance two hundred steps, close to Huangquan Ancient City, and shoot all those inside with a barrage of arrows. Don’t worry; as long as you don’t enter the city, you won’t die. And even if you do enter, you won’t die."

The archers present hesitated, as the reputation of Huangquan Ancient City was terrifying indeed. Even without entering, just getting near was daunting enough.
