Translator: 549690339
Compared to the battles that had taken place in front of Holy Dragon City, the scale of the battle that was taking place in this city could only be considered average.
If the Wanderers had attacked Holy Dragon City, they would have been torn into pieces by countless bullets and cannons before they could even get close to the city walls.
The strength of the two simply could not be compared!
However, compared to the killing of firearms, this kind of close-quarters physical combat was more bloody and cruel.
The blade cut through the bones, blood and flesh splattered everywhere, and the entire place was bright red!
As the saber Light flickered, people kept howling in pain as blood spurted out and they fell to the ground.
In their constant struggle, their eyes gradually lost their luster and turned gray.
Wanderers kept climbing up the walls around the tower, then rushed toward the windows and other places with all their might, trying to break into the tower.
However, many Wanderers would be shot down halfway and fall heavily to the ground.
Some unlucky fellows hit their heads on the rocks, and their brains immediately burst!
Those who were lucky enough to survive continued to climb up the tower after spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood.
This was a battle where it was either you die or I die. No one dared to have any thoughts of getting lucky, and only the thought of killing the enemy remained in their minds.
The windows and other such critical positions were either guarded or sealed with random objects to prevent enemies from entering.
The soldiers guarding the windows kept firing their arrows, and the residents threw all kinds of things at the windows in an attempt to stop the Wanderers.
Meanwhile, the Wanderers attacking the city used bows, arrows, and catapults to continuously fire burning objects at the building.
This kind of attack continued. As the fireballs danced, the black smoke in the building became thicker.
After paying a huge price, the Wanderers finally broke through a window. A few Wanderers howled and rushed in.
After seeing this, the wild cultivators hidden in the team rushed up a dozen meters into the air and rushed into the building.
They waved their blades and killed all the soldiers at the other Windows so that the other Wanderers could rush in.
They turned around and saw that the Rogue cultivators were fighting with the cultivators of the building who had rushed over after hearing the news. The passageway inside the building was filled with the smell of blood.
More and more Wanderers rushed in. Their eyes were red as they barged into the homes of the residents, killing and plundering without restraint. Miserable screams rang out endlessly.
Countless ugly things were happening inside the building.
Tang Zhen looked at the scene in front of him. He did not make any movements, as though all of this had nothing to do with him.
From the beginning to the end, he had treated himself as a bystander.
It wasn’t that Tang Zhen didn’t want to save him, but he really couldn’t find a reason to help.
These Wanderers who robbed the city also had wives and children. The reason they attacked the city at the risk of their lives was to get some food for their families.
If Tang Zhen killed them, it would be equivalent to indirectly killing the Wanderer’s family.
The residents of Lou city were humans, and so were the Wanderers. The difference in status was of no use to Tang Zhen.
However, Tang Zhen did not have any pity for those lunatics who took joy in killing.
Tang Zhen casually threw a stone and killed a Wanderer who was randomly killing people. Then, he stood up.
Arel, let’s go down and take the foundation stone of the tower. Then, we’ll continue our journey!
Tang Zhen patted Arel, and the two of them directly jumped into the building.
As soon as they entered the city, they ran into a naked Wanderer who was waving a saber. He was chasing and killing a woman in disheveled clothes.
Arel’s brows furrowed when he saw this. His longsword glowed with a cold light as he killed the Wanderer.
The panicked woman glanced at the two of them before turning around and burrowing into a hidden corner. She hugged her legs and sobbed silently.
Arel glanced at the other party, and the anger on his face intensified. He swung his sword again and pounced on a Wanderer lying on a woman.
With her rank 4 cultivation, Arel was invincible. Anyone she could not stand would be killed by her with a single slash.
These Wanderers who were wantonly plundering the place quickly discovered the two unexpected intruders, Tang Zhen and Arel. They surrounded the two of them with hostility.
Tang Zhen coldly looked at the Wanderers who were carrying bags of various sizes on their backs. There was no trace of sorrow or joy in his eyes.
“You bastards, get lost immediately!”
Just as Tang Zhen was about to attack and kill these people blocking his way, an angry roar was heard from behind the Wanderers.
The expressions of those Wanderers surrounding Tang Zhen changed. After taking a look behind them, they hurriedly opened up a path.
Under the protection of a few wild cultivators, a wild cultivator who was about two meters tall walked in front of Tang Zhen with a murderous aura.
This wild cultivator should be a mixed-blood of a human and a non-human race. He had a very large bone structure, but because of his malnutrition, he looked very strange.
His huge head was covered in protruding bones, and his eye sockets were deeply sunken.
He didn’t even need to think to know that he was definitely hungry!
From the Wanderers ‘respectful expressions, it was clear that this burly man was their leader.
Tang Zhen swept his eyes over the blood and wounds on the strong man’s body. He still did not say a word and merely looked at him with an expressionless face.
At the same time Tang Zhen was sizing up the brawny man, the other party was also sizing him up.
Even though they couldn’t see Tang Zhen’s cultivation base, they could clearly see that Arel was a rank 4 expert. This made the Rogue cultivators among the Wanderers rather fearful.
Without Lou Cheng’s attribute bonus, their cultivation was only at level one or two, and it was difficult to break through to a higher level.
Those who had reached level three and above either had extremely high cultivation talent or had other opportunities.
It was just that such wild cultivators were very few in number.
Even the brawny man in front of him only had a level three cultivation.
Even if they won against a rank 4 cultivator, it would only be a Pyrrhic victory.
However, what caused the brawny man to feel the most apprehensive was Tang Zhen, who had an expressionless face. It was impossible to tell the level of his cultivation.
Just by standing in front of him, the burly man felt a faint sense of fear, causing his soul to tremble slightly.
To be able to make him feel this way, it could only mean that the other party’s cultivation was too high, so high that even the burly man could not see through it.
After realizing this, the brawny man no longer hesitated and immediately ordered his men to make way while adopting a respectful posture.
Tang Zhen nodded upon seeing this. He swept his gaze over the strong man and said, I want to take away the foundation stone of this tower. Do you have any objections? ”
The burly man frowned, but he quickly nodded and said, ” “It’s useless for us to hold onto that foundation stone. You can take whatever you want!”
Tang Zhen looked at the strong man with a smile that was not a smile when he heard this, causing the other party to feel as though he was being stared at by a ferocious beast. His back was covered in cold sweat.
“No matter how useless this building foundation is, it’s still worth a lot of brains. What you said is really against your heart.
However, you guys aren’t the owners of this tower, so I’ll just take the foundation stone. If you’re not happy with it, you can take it back from me. ”
The brawny man’s expression changed when he heard this, and he hurriedly said that he did not dare.
Tang Zhen didn’t say any more nonsense. He turned around and brought Arel with him as they headed straight for the tower’s foundation stone platform.
Upon seeing this, the brawny man ordered his Wanderers not to kill anyone and quickly followed them with his wild cultivators.
Not long after, Tang Zhen arrived in front of a large door in this building. This place was the house where the foundation stone was placed.
Tang Zhen slowly walked in front of the altar that was carved out of dark brown stone. He extended his hand and took down the floating cornerstone of the tower.
Before the Lord of the city severed his connection with the foundation stone or before the city was destroyed, the foundation stone of the city could not be taken away at will.
Even if he reached out to take it, he would only touch a Phantom.
However, now that the city Lord of the tower was dead, the foundation stone of the tower was revealed and easily held in Tang Zhen’s hand.
Tang Zhen walked out with a smile on his face after keeping the foundation stone into his storage space.
Tang Zhen and Arel directly walked out of the door, ignoring the brawny man and the others standing at the door.
