All People: I Slay Gods with Martial Arts

25: Chapter 24: The Battle to Support Cloud CityYunzhong City.

The entire populace was at war; anyone who could pick up a firearm was flooding into the battlefields of the outer city districts in a continuous stream.

The sky was shrouded by Yao clouds as four Yao Kings and six Daoists engaged in a fierce battle at the horizon, causing the heavens and earth to tremble as terrifying Daoist Magics blanketed the sky.

The sound of violent explosions never ceased.

Roar—

Ancient beasts bellowed as three more Yao Kings arrived to join the fray of this war.

In the eyes of the Yao Race, this war was a feast—a feast of devouring flesh and blood.

The pressure on the six Daoists grew heavier and heavier.

Amidst an earth-shattering explosion, an elderly Daoist was the first to succumb to the pressure; while entangled with a Yao King, he chose to self-detonate.

The powerful energy of the explosion directly shattered half the body of the Yao King he was fighting, spraying blood everywhere in a truly wretched sight.

But even so, the Yao King with only half a body remaining did not die.

It frantically retreated from the combat zone, desperate to escape.

”I will go and slay it...”

A Daoist roared, and at the risk of being heavily wounded by the Yao King beside him, he unleashed a technique—[Heaven-Shaking Thunder]—blasting it directly toward the target.

Boom—

Thunderous light illuminated the horizon.

The Great Roc King, already heavily wounded by the self-detonation energy, had no time to dodge and was struck directly by the lightning; amidst terrifying crackling sounds, its bones shattered and its flesh disintegrated.

Its already heavily damaged body could no longer hold out, and it died on the spot.

”Kill them all.”

The leading Yao King’s eyes gleamed with ferocity; its strength was the highest among the several Yao Kings. Even now, fighting three Daoists alone, it did not fall into a disadvantage.

In this Peak-level battle, the Nine Heavens Taoist Sect was at an absolute disadvantage.

The remaining five Elders were being beaten back step by step; they looked at each other, their eyes filled with the resolve to die.

Following five consecutive earth-shaking blasts, all five men self-detonated. The immense power instantly killed three of the Yao Kings surrounding them; only one, who was further away, escaped death.

Heaven and earth fell silent.

Everyone still fighting began to feel despair.

The Nine Heavens Taoist Sect forces were completely wiped out; in this battle, there was no longer any possibility of change.

”Activate the nuclear weapons plan; we’ll take these sons of bitches down with us!” someone in the command center roared, and various orders were quickly dispatched.

Just as the City Lord of Yunzhong City was about to press the nuclear detonation button...

Nine rays of divine light pierced through the Yao clouds shrouding the outer city, descending like divine soldiers from the heavens to begin a frantic slaughter of the Yao Beasts.

”Second Junior Brother, Third Junior Brother, Fifth Junior Brother, follow me to slay the evil Yao; the rest of you, support the battle below,” Elder Song commanded. He then took the lead, charging toward the four Yao Kings in the sky.

The three Elders similarly transformed into streaks of light and followed him.

Within the Yao clouds.

As the four of them charged in, violent rumblings echoed once more.

The Qingcang Daoist Sect primarily focused on Taiji and Bagua Daoist Magic.

All four were Personal Disciples of Master Zhang, and their Taiji Daoist Laws were incredibly profound.

The leading Dragon King was locked in a fierce battle with Elder Song. A terrifying Taiji True Intent suppressed it completely; no matter how it attacked, its strikes were neutralized by the Taiji Diagram.

Below, Ye Xiu watched clearly.

His brow couldn’t help but furrow. This power system of the Cultivators was truly strong; with the power of heaven and earth and the power of Daoist Magic, even a member of the Yao Race with an incredibly tough Physical Body like the Dragon King was being suppressed firmly.

Within the same Realm, Cultivators were indeed much stronger than Martial Practitioners.

Perhaps only a Martial Practitioner like himself, who had achieved a Peak Bloodline Awakening, could contend with them head-on.

But how many Martial Practitioners like him were there among humanity? The God-Slaying Guards of Tianfu City were considered strong, but they were only barely a notch above the King-tier bodies of the Yao Race.
