Chapter 1940: Black Robes Attack

w, but after all, it is Guo Dashu (a wealthy individual), Lu Yiye, who even invited people like Tianji Zhu (a celestial pillar) with a word. Moreover, he has invited them twice. The cost of accommodat...Zhou Ping had never met anyone like Lu Ye before. He looked to be only in his early twenties, but the depth of knowledge and wisdom he possessed was something Zhou Ping had never encountered. It could be said that without Lu Ye's guidance, Ding An would not have been able to stabilize so quickly after the death of the city lord.

He also had one more curious thing…

After much hesitation, Zhou Ping couldn't hold back his curiosity any longer: "Could you tell me about your cultivation level, sir"

"Eight Orifices!" Lu Ye raised his eyes to look at him. There was nothing he couldn't say.

Lu Ye had brought Yao Nuan and the others a long way. All the low-grade spirit stones they had scavenged from the Great Wind Mountains had been consumed, and they had also eaten quite a bit along the way. Therefore, in just a few days, Lu Ye had already opened up to eight acupoints, and was now advancing towards the ninth acupoint.

"Eight Apertures..." Zhou Ping's heart trembled. He had expected Lu Ye's cultivation to be higher, but he didn't expect it to be the same as the deceased City Lord.'s.

The same could be said for the former city lord, who in front of Lu Ye was like a little chick, completely helpless.

"Don't doubt it." Lu Ye saw what he was thinking. "Sometimes, cultivation level doesn't represent everything."

"That..." Zhou Ping was just about to ask what could determine the strength of one's abilities when a soldier hurried over, knelt on one knee, and presented a sealed letter with both hands. "My Lord City Master, the scouts have sent news!"

Zhou Ping suddenly turned his head and hurriedly picked up the sealed letter, opened it to examine its contents, and his face grew solemn.

"The Black Robes have arrived" Lu Ye asked.

Zhou Ping nodded. "Yes, half an hour ago they were already 50 li away, coming in a mighty force and in large numbers, but they seemed to be only the vanguard."

This is also a normal reaction for most people, after all, the Black Cloak is too notorious.

A haze of dust and smoke billowed from afar, advancing menacingly.

After just a moment, the dust cloud spread for three miles outside the city. When the smoke cleared, what appeared before everyone's eyes made their hearts clench.

A military formation of over a thousand men slowly came into view, each wearing black turbans. At the front rode a tall and powerful man on a magnificent steed. He wore exquisite armor, wielded a long spear, and his horse reared up with its upper body raised, snorting loudly. The man sat on his mount, staring coldly at the people on the city wall.

Behind him, a flag bearer held aloft a pitch-black banner. On its surface, a large, square character blazed crimson red, as if written in fresh blood.

The Black Banner has come, the Black Banner has come!

"Oh my God!"

"This is a demon's game!"

Suddenly, the city walls erupted in chaos. Though Ding'an had prepared for a Black Banner attack, seeing the thousand-strong army below in real life still instilled fear and unease in many hearts.

Where the Black Banner had passed before, many people had been killed and then eaten by this unit.

It's hard to imagine what would happen to all the people in this city if Ding'an fell.

Zhou Ping also had a grave expression. He didn't expect that the first one to arrive from the Black Robes side was Fang Kuang. It was obvious that Lu Ye's previous attack, killing those Black Robe scouts, had angered them.

Horses galloped back and forth. A fierce-looking man on horseback shouted, "Where is the lord of Ding'an City"

Inside the three-layered ground, ordinary people's voices are hard to transmit, but Fang Xiang's voice is not diminished at all, directly entering everyone's ears, causing a deafening roar. This made many people's faces pale again, apparently realizing Fang Xiang's powerful strength.

"Zhou Ping is here!" Zhou Ping replied from the top of the city gate.

"Looking around, Fang Quan's gaze was slightly puzzled: "How come you have changed the city lord of Ding'an" He remembered that the city lord of Ding'an City was a big fat man, but it didn't concern him. Raising his long spear in his hand, he pointed at Zhou Ping: "You really are bold, daring to kill my Black Scarf Army soldiers. I give you an hour to open the city gate, otherwise, after my troops break through, I will slaughter your entire city and leave no one alive!"

Zhou Ping's hands were sweating. He naturally knew that Fang Kuang wasn't joking, but he also knew that in a confrontation between two armies, morale couldn't falter, especially since he was the city lord. At this moment, countless people looked to him as their backbone. He immediately snorted coldly: "Black Scarf Gang really has big ambitions! If that's the case, this city lord will give you an hour to get out of here and back where you came from. Don't provoke misfortune!"

"What a misfortune!" Fang Kuang's eyes widened, followed by bursts of laughter. "It has been ages since I’ve heard such a funny joke. I am eager to see what kind of misfortune this is. As a reward for bringing me such joy...one hour will be replaced with one incense stick. After the incense burns out, we will attack the city. Don't make a mistake!"

Zhou Ping's face changed.

Just at this moment, Fang Xiang's vanguard soldiers behind him roared in unison, accompanied by the clash of swords and shields. It was truly magnificent, changing the very colors of the sky and clouds.

"Creak..." A heavy sound rang out.

On the city wall, Zhou Ping's face changed: "Who opened the gate"

And Zhou Ping vaguely heard Lu Ye muttering something at the moment, but Lu Ye's voice was too soft for him to hear clearly.

Lü Yè rode out astride his horse, his eyes shining with determination, yet a trace of melancholy clouded his expression.

So many Shura Seals... How can I possibly finish them all

If we could wipe out this army of thousands, it would be like eating a whole pig in one bite! Even if each bandit was worth just two thousand Asura Marks, that would still be over two million. And not all bandits are only worth two thousand Asura Marks. The leader, Fang Xiang, is worth almost ten thousand Asura Marks...

I can't quite put my finger on it, but I have a feeling that this person today isn't quite the same as last time. Their expression seems too placid.

"Who dares to come!" Fang Kuang roared angrily.

The land-leaves remained silent, still advancing with his spear. However, as he channeled his spiritual energy, the black horse's speed gradually increased, transforming from a slow walk to a trot, and within mere breaths, it was galloping forward.

"Whoosh!" Fang Xiang sneered, raising his hand and shouting.

Amidst the military formation, the archers' unit immediately advanced three steps forward, drawing their bows and nocking arrows. The taut strings were fully drawn, resembling a full moon.

"Let go!" Fang Qiang slammed his hand down.

The sound of "whoosh whoosh whoosh" echoed through the air as all the arrows slipped out in an arc, converging into a cluster in mid-air. From afar, it looked just like a swarm of bees.

The arrow shot down, covering the area where Riku was. next instant, every single face turned pale.Before this, they had been preoccupied with their own rivals and lacked the time or energy to pay attention to anything else. Moreover, they believed that...
