Chapter 2112 - 2105: Killing the Chicken to Warn the Monkey
The massive city slowly floated above Zhang Menglong’s head. Due to immense inertia, it couldn’t accelerate recklessly. Its speed wasn’t fast, but the pressure it exerted surpassed that of a formidable Warcraft, making even breathing somewhat difficult.
At this moment, the most surprised were the tens of millions of humans inside the Great City of Aiville. They had been anxious and fearful for a month. If they weren’t martial artists trained in heart practices, such immense pressure would have driven any normal human insane, potentially leading them to do something outrageous.
When the city took flight, everyone cheered aloud. As they say, trees do not move, but humans do! When the human city became a mobile fortress, that rule of restriction was no longer applicable. Humans could go wherever they desired from this new perspective!
"It’s Menglong; I was wondering what he’s been doing around the city lately, turns out he was setting up formations for the city!"
"Didn’t expect him to create such an amazing formation; getting such a gigantic city into the sky is practically as hard as ascending to heaven!"
"What’s so hard about ascending to heaven; it’s as easy as breathing, ha ha ha! As long as our main city can fly, whether attacking other races or Warcraft, we fear nothing!"
"What does it matter if it took a month; now is the time for humans to shine!"
All humans seemed eager, having been suppressed for too long now; they urgently needed a grand battle to release their pent-up frustrations.
The Great City of Aiville moved above Zhang Menglong and then stopped. On the city walls, countless cannon barrels were aimed at the interspecies adventurers who minutes ago had been glaring with the intent to destroy humans.
"What do we do?" At this instant, they all panicked, now within the 100-kilometer strike range of the Great City of Aiville, where humans could freely use ancient relics, leaving them with absolutely no chance of survival!
"If we flee, our race can’t escape!"
"Run! Who cares about race now, every man for himself!"
"Oh no, it’s too late to flee!"
At this moment, Zhang Menglong held two scrolls as he looked at them. One was a Space Lock Scroll, preventing anyone from using space powers for instant teleportation or employing teleportation scrolls within this area’s range.
The second scroll was a Barrier Scroll. Although its effective range had been compressed to within 100 kilometers, at least the group before his eyes had no way out.
"It’s over!" Everyone felt a sense of helplessness; even their thoughts of escape were futile now.
"Sigh!" Zhang Menglong sighed and shook his head, saying, "Didn’t I say I was a genius, yet you all underestimated my genius intellect. Wouldn’t you say that’s foolish of you?"
"I even reminded you just now, tried desperately to offer you an opportunity, yet you refused to accept it. Honestly, isn’t that pathetic of you?"
Rather than immediately starting a massacre, Zhang Menglong earnestly lectured, "I told you, if you left smoothly, I wouldn’t bother you. But you insisted on doubting me!"
"Right, friends from the Ice Demon Race and Sacrifice God Clan?"
Warriors from the two races, cued by Zhang Menglong, trembled, feeling as if they could engrave a landscape painting on the ground with their feet.
"You people dare to repeatedly infringe upon the Human Race; today, I, the emperor, will kill every last one of you to quell my anger!" Ying Zheng, already known for his temper, found himself in a position of absolute advantage and stood with newfound confidence.
"Warriors of Yan Huang City, heed my command!"
Upon hearing Ying Zheng’s order, the warriors of Yan Huang City standing on the Great City of Aiville’s walls stood erect.
"Kill them all, leave none alive!"
"Yes!"
"Let’s return!" Zhang Menglong and Ying Zheng slowly turned back, returning to the city itself.
He really had given those people a chance, believing that if he hadn’t come up with this solution, humans would certainly face extinction under their blockade. As for them, Zhang Menglong had no mercy to spare.
"Boom!"
"Bang!"
The sounds of explosions rang out behind him, mingled with screams and curses...
Of course, Zhang Menglong and his cohorts couldn’t instantly kill all the adventurers encircling them. As they moved northward, they naturally lacked the extra energy to deal with adventurers to the south. They had already returned to their main city with this staggering news. Whether those adventurers could devise countermeasures, Zhang Menglong didn’t care at all.
After slaughtering these individuals, humans’ points surged dramatically. After all, those adventurers were martial artists at the limits of the Dao Realm, each providing a wealth of points, surpassing a few races by leaps and bounds. Nevertheless, overall, humans still remained at the bottom of the ranks.
"Humans’ points are starting to rise!"
Some races keenly noticed this development.
Their point increase didn’t come in increments of hundreds, indicating they weren’t gaining points by killing Warcraft, but by defeating adventurers. Either they had broken through the encirclement, or they found another way!
"Good thing we aren’t enemies with humans!"
"Even in such a dire situation, they found a way to survive; the human race’s potential is limitless!"
"They’ve gained another 10,000 points; did they defeat a rank-three Warcraft?"
...
A Warcraft died miserably under the attack of 200 Super Divine Cannons, dropping a mountain-like pile of items. It was the first Warcraft they encountered on their travels. As it had spotted humans’ Great City of Aiville, it charged forward but didn’t anticipate the terrifying firepower greeting it first.
"Menglong, we’ve found the distribution info for Warcraft," Ying Zheng opened the map, with tiny light dots marking Warcraft’s dwelling spots. The deeper the color, the stronger the Warcraft’s power.
"No rush," Zhang Menglong said, "We’ll first take revenge and settle grievances. How many races wandered near our human territory this time?"
"Approximately over 1,700!" Ying Zheng replied.
"Quite a number," Zhang Menglong shook his head, "Taking them down one by one would take a year even, getting rid of three or five hundred would be good enough!"
The main issue was that the Great City of Aiville was simply too large and unable to perform instant teleportation, so quickly shuttling between cities wasn’t easy.
"Let’s first demonstrate by killing one as a warning," Zhang Menglong said, "For the rest, my mercy is boundless; pay up, and all shall be well."
"Where should we go?" Ying Zheng asked.
"Heh heh, if we strike, it’s to take on the strongest," Zhang Menglong said, "Let’s go to the main city of Divine Primordial Civilization. From today on, they won’t be the most powerful race on the battlefield anymore—we humans will be!"
