Chapter 603: The Strike of a Star
Translator: StackThatCoin Editor: Hitesh_
Standing on the city wall, Wu Qi was clad in a hard-shell armor over a leather jerkin . The pale green armor was about half an inch thick, and made of shell taken from some unknown large beetle . The armor was tightly wrapped around his body, but it did not interfere with his movement . Instead, he was shrouded by a gust of soft breeze when he walked, which could greatly improve his combative strength .
Yu He had purchased this armor through his private channels . Although it looked plain and without any decorative patterns, it was a high-quality armor made by the great craftsman of Liangzhu, having an astonishing defensive strength that was capable of resisting a full powered attack unleashed by an upper-tier Heaven Immortal with an immortal item . No Heaven Immortals below the twelfth tier could do Wu Qi harm before the energy of the inlaid immortal stones was fully depleted .
With a Dragon Hunting Crossbow in his hands, loaded with a bone bolt that was engraved with a powerful corrosive spell, Wu Qi smiled and looked up at the Heaven Immortals who were hovering in the air, about one mile from the wall . For a full hour, he and these Heaven Immortals had been yelling and cursing at each other . The dozens of them were rendered completely speechless by him, their faces turning blue with rage from his rich, almost unimaginably queer curses .
All sorts of vicious, slanderous, profane, and obscene curses that came from the internet on the Earth were a real eye-opener to the captains and soldiers around him . If the Heaven Immortals had not attained their immortal bodies and were free from any cardiovascular diseases, the sheer amount of rage might have already killed a few of them .
A rather pretty female Immortal, clad in a palace dress and having two large flowers pinned to her hair, so gorgeously dressed that she looked like a matchmaker rather than an attacker, rolled her eyes angrily as she pointed a finger at Wu Qi and snapped, "I'll not waste any more breath with someone as rude as you! If you consider yourself a man, come out here and fight me in a real battle!"
While smiling, Wu Qi gestured at the female Immortal and said, "Go out there and fight you in a real battle? Woman, do you think I'm stupid? So many of you are waiting out there in such a fierce manner… Why should I go out and let you have a siege on me?"
The female Immortal paused for a brief while, glancing at her companions . "I promise you that if you come out, no one will besiege you!"
Wu Qi sighed, then burst into a loud laughter as he beckoned to the female Immortal with his index finger and said, "Why don't you come into the city and meet me in the drill ground? I promise you with my honor that I'll never let my captains besiege you!"
Her expression changed slightly . How could she have the courage to enter the city and fight Wu Qi, when the defensive strength of Ningbo City had increased significantly? Not only the female Immortal, even the other Heaven Immortals had their faces turned unsightly . With so many archers and the two hundred Fire Souls Destroyers on the wall, there was no way they could break through the city's defense .
After considering for a brief moment, the female Immortal's voice suddenly became very soft . "Why must we be so aggressive towards each other? So long as Hai Province releases fellow Daoist Yao Yue and his clan members, Myriad Immortal Alliance has no intention to drag everyone into a war . "
Wu Qi shook his head . "Stop using that evil Yao Yue as an excuse," he said coolly . "That guy and his clan members are destined to be sacrificed to the ghosts and deities . He has a bad record, and his behavior has greatly violated the law of Great Yu . If we don't punish him with torture, how can we make sure that you, the itinerant cultivators, still have respect for the Human Emperor of Great Yu?"
The female Immortal and her companions exchanged a glance, then all softened their tones at the same time and just kept persuading Wu Qi . They did not scold or call for a duel, but instead, tried to reason with him in a calm manner . The female Immortal even resorted to sentimental excuse, telling Wu Qi with a sad voice that there were a few young children among Reverend Yao Yue's clan members, and it would be inhumane for him to sacrifice them to the ghosts and deities .
Wu Qi frowned and looked at Yu He standing beside him . Both men shared the same confused expression .
The mannerism of these Immortals and the three black-clothed Daoists who visited them some days ago was completely different! Since when did the Immortals of Myriad Immortal Alliance become so nice and patient? Especially after they had just ruthlessly killed a team of scouts sent out by Ningbo City… Could they be frightened by Yu Huai's cruel tactics, stunned by Wu Qi's foul curses, or stupefied by Ningbo City's formidable defensive strength?
The dozens of Heaven Immortals hovered in mid-air and chattered like a group of noisy flies, criticizing the officials of Hai Province for wiping out Mount Moon Gazing . They deliberately talked very loud, so that their voices could penetrate the defensive barrier and be clearly heard by the hundreds of thousands of people in the city .
However, after seeing that Wu Qi and Yu He were assuming an indifferent attitude towards their reasoning and begging, the Heaven Immortals quickly took on a different tone . Suddenly, they became very aggressive, and with fingers pointing at the two, they threatened using the most direct words, that if Hai Province refused to release Reverend Yao Yue and his clan members, Myriad Immortal Alliance would certainly destroy Ningbo City, leaving the entire Hai Province in ruins .
Wu Qi still turned a deaf ear to the threats . He would be interested in sending them to reincarnation if they put on a desperate fight . However, although they were aggressive at first, they had quickly become as weak as quails in a storm, and he was not even in the mood to bully them .
