Forty Millenniums of Cultivation - Chapter 2966

Just like that, the slaughter began.

It was the cruelest slaughter, a hundred times more bloody than usual.

It was because everyone was caught in the madness of desperation and knew that they were merely enjoying the cruel pleasure before their death.

The first target of the bandits was the bandits nearby. With the cutting-edge magical equipment and advanced weapons that they had just acquired, they fought until the sky was dim and blood was flowing like a river.

The food, weapons, and ammunition that could have kept them alive for several years were often consumed in a brutal battle or even burnt to nothing.

…As long as the war began, its original purpose would become insignificant. This vicious beast Taotie was destined to go out of control and use the lives of billions of people to fill the gap.

Just like that, the entire Blood Plains and even the entire evil land were on fire. The damage caused by the chaotic battle that affected the entire planet was comparable to the ‘major calamity’ that turned the world of

martial arts into an evil land. Everyone called it the ‘Second Armageddon’.

Almost everybody believed that the second apocalypse was the real one and that they were doomed.

But their survival instincts forced them to squander the food, weapons, and ammunition in their hands, making them part of the apocalypse, too.

Only a few people were able to remain calm in this crazy catastrophe.

For example, Gu Zhengyang, the mayor of the Taiping Village.

His trust in his daughter, Liu Li, and his disciple, Han Te, especially in the mysterious ‘Elder Yao’, made him grit his teeth and maintain the last bit of his humanity when the entire evil land fell into the abyss of darkness.

When the riot of the Blood Plateau broke out and a lot of innocent people lost their homes and crowded into the city, he had held back the situation that was about to collapse with his solid arms and collected a lot of

remains of the ‘City in the Sky’ and the Red Spider Lilies. He had also retrieved a certain amount of food and synthesized the food production line and the water-cleaning chip. With the help of the food, the city had

grown larger and larger and became the only pure land in the catastrophe.

However, there were no eggs that were intact when the nest was overturned. As the entire evil land was burnt to the ground, the end of the city had come.

The bandits on the Blood Plateau had used up all their food and most of their weapons and ammunition in the internal strife. They had lost the last bit of their humanity and their bestiality and turned into hungry

ghouls.

When they congregated into a black tide, their only perception was hunger, and their only instinct was biting. For many bandits, their only weapon was their teeth.

After taking down several small villages in a row, the seemingly glamorous Taiping City became the most dazzling target.

All the bandits of the Blood Plateau had gathered in this place. They were roaring and attacking the city of Taiping.

Most of the bandits had lost their lives in the years of internal strife. The remaining bandits might have been ordinary people in a certain village yesterday, but that did not stop them from releasing their cruelty and

brutality to drive away the fear of the apocalypse.

Although the soldiers of Taiping City were strong, they were not a real gang of bandits after all. Their crystal ammunition was limited.

In the meantime, there were too many bandits coming at them from all directions. The devils in the shape of human beings had lost their minds a long time ago. Although they knew that it was impossible to fill the

bottomless hole in everyone’s throat even if they took down a small city, they still crawled forward and tried to survive for one more second, even half a second.

It was hopeless.

Everyone had to die together. Today, this place should be the end of the entire evil land.

Gu Zhengyang took a long breath, his back somewhat hunched.

“Village Chief.”

Beside him, the muscular man named ‘Er Hu’ smiled bitterly. “If only you had listened to me and fought your way out half a year earlier!”

“What’s the difference?”

Gu Zhengyang asked back, “If 1 march out and turn into a bandit gang, won’t I end up like them?”

Er Hu was dazed for a moment. He wiped the smoke off his face and mumbled, “Then, are we not the same as them right now?”

“It’s different.”

Gu Zhengyang shook his head and said softly, “We are different. Our deaths are different from theirs.”

“Different deaths?”

Er Hu said, “Does it matter? He will die anyway!”

“Important. Very important. Everyone has been rushing to their death since they were born. How they die is of course very important.

Gu Zhengyang pointed at the dense crowd in front of him and said, “They died like dogs, and we died like human beings. Is it the same?”

“…That’s true. At the very least, everyone in our city has died like a f*cking man!”

Er Hu spat and took a Thunder-Palms into his pocket, before he pressed them to his chest and licked his dry lips. He smiled and said, “However, it will be even better if I can die a happy death and not fall into the hands

of those bastards!”

BOOM!

Hardly had he finished his sentence when the last line of defense at the front of the base was wreathed in raging fireballs.

The inhuman bandits were about to launch their final attack. Once the city wall made of the shell of the starship was breached, everybody would become their food!

At this moment, Gu Zhengyang had no regrets or concerns, except for… his daughter and disciple who had been gone for a long time.

“Li Li, and Han Te. Are they alright? I hope they can get away from this hell on earth and find a real paradise where there are no wars, famine, and peace!

Gu Zhengyang’s dry eyes were blocked by a layer of dirty liquid. He felt that he was hallucinating, as if his disciple Han Te was grinning at him in the burning clouds.

“Supervisor Han, you must take good care of Liuli. That way, I can close my eyes in peace.”

Gu Zhengyang smiled in relief and blinked.

Then, he discovered that the illusion was not gone. Han Te’s smiling, cheap face was still floating in the middle of the burning clouds. He was smiling so hard that the corners of his mouth were almost torn apart.

Gu Zhengyang was dazed for a moment and blinked.

It’s—it’s still here! It’s still here! It’s really strange. The illusion this time is too real. I can’t get rid of it no matter how I look at it. Moreover, it’s so vivid and detailed! Could it be that my hunger has made me lose my mind

from the bombardment? Is that why I am hallucinating?

“Village—Village Chief!”

At this moment, Er Hu, who was next to him, was dumbfounded and exclaimed, “Han Te. Isn’t—isn’t that Han Te? In the clouds! In the clouds!”

“What? It’s not an illusion?”

Gu Zhengyang’s mouth was wide open, too, as he stared at the burning clouds in disbelief.

“AHHHHHHHHHHH!””

All the villagers of the city had been prepared to perish together with him, hoping that they could die a quick death. But when they saw Han Te’s big face in the middle of the clouds, they were all shocked and did not

know whether to be overjoyed or dumbfounded.

Of course, it was not the real Han Te. No matter how big his face was, it was not big enough for everybody to see it clearly from ten thousand meters high.

it was just a 3D image that he had enlarged countless times.

However, the crystal warship that tore apart the burning clouds, pierced through the atmosphere, and fell from the sky with nine layers of flames was as good as new.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, dozens of crystal warships tore through the atmosphere at the same time and rushed forward. Even though they were not the gargantuan super arsenals but merely assault

warships almost a hundred meters long, they were still intimidating enough.

ot just everyone in the city was shocked into silence by the sudden scene.

Even the craziest bandits were suppressed by the heat waves coming from above their heads. The smell of iron and smoke was like an invisible hammer that bashed every bandit’s chest heavily.

“Listen up, everybody. This fortress is under the protection of me, the legendary ‘Star Ocean Cannon King”. Who gave you the courage to attack this place?”

n the middle of the clouds, Han Te’s vivid face was beaming with excitement. He gnashed his teeth and said, “I’ll give you three seconds. Put down your weapons, put your hands on your head, and squat on the ground.

Otherwise, I’ll show you the awesomeness of the ‘Star Ocean Cannon King’. I’m not living up to my name. I—I played a crucial role in both the Jade Tripod Sector, the Yellow Dragon Sector, and the defense of the

imperial capital. My hit rate was 100%!

The bandits below looked at each other in bewilderment, not knowing what he was talking about.

Even Gu Zhengyang covered his face with his hands, feeling embarrassed for his disciple.

“Damn it. It’s rare for me to return to my hometown in glory. Does nobody take me seriously?”

Han Te gnashed his teeth. The head of the assault starship flashed, indicating that countless ‘stun grenades’ made of compressed air had been detonated in the dozens of square kilometers around the city. The

airwaves generated by the sudden expansion of the compressed air were like thunderclaps in the ears of the bandits, making them dizzy and unable to stand straight. They all fell to the ground and vomited.

What broke the determination of the bandits was the countless wooden boxes that had been dropped from the sky. The wooden boxes did not use parachutes or cushions on purpose and simply fell to the ground,

where the delicious smell of synthesized food was spreading out.

“Food. Food!”

Most of the bandits had been driven by hunger into the torrent of killing in the first place. Now that Han Te had thrown a lot of synthesized food behind them on purpose, there was no time for them to bother about

the city. They all turned around and rushed to the distribution point of the synthesized food. A circle of weird blankness appeared around the city.

“Master, and fellow citizens of the city, don’t be scared. Special Agent Han, whom everyone has been looking forward to meeting, is back!”

On the assault starship in the front, an Exo, after posing for a long time, jumped off and fell from hundreds of meters in the sky like a cannonball. He landed on his knees without any trouble, raising a blast dozens of

meters high!.
