Stranger Danger

Chapter 1027: Welcoming the Moon God

As expected, Barbarian Slayer, Wildland Suppression and King Slayer appeared at the horizon just half a teatime later. They resembled black clouds that consumed the ground as they crept closer.

The three armies did not meet up with each other though. Instead, they occupied three of the four sides of the Nanjiang Royal Court.

“Barbarian Slayer, kill!”

“Wildland Suppression, rise!”

“King Slayer, join!”

As soon as the orders were given, Barbarian Slayer, Wildland Suppression and King Slayer mobilized at the same time.

Fiendish qi rose from Barbarian Slayer’s troops and combined into a monstrous dragon. It flew ominously across a sea of boiling blood.

Wildland Suppression ran forward speedily like an inferno consuming a plain. Flying above the sea of flame was a phoenix that boiled the ocean and burned the heavens.

King Slayer marched forward as dark as the night and as quiet as the clouds. A demonic blade just barely peeked out of the darkness while a field of corpses bobbed up and down a sea of blood.

When black clouds encroached upon a city, even the sun and the moon became dim and lightless. When man resolved to kill, the heavens might fall, and the earth might tear asunder.

Thanks to their army formation, Barbarian Slayer, Wildland Suppression and King Slayer passed right over the Moon God Lake like it did not exist. They ran across the lake’s surface like it was solid ground and reached the city walls in just the blink of an eye.

Right before they could climb over the walls though, a dazzling screen of light suddenly appeared out of nowhere and enveloped the entire Nanjiang Royal Court. It blocked the three armies like an invisible wall and prevented them from advancing even an inch further.

“Kill!”Nôv(el)B\\jnn

“Kill!

“Kill!”

The next moment, the monstrous dragon roared, the phoenix extended its wings, and the demonic blade swung at the screen of light at the same time. The combined assault was fearsome to say the least, but they still couldn’t breach the light screen and invade the city.

“Moonlight...”

On the city gate tower, Ye Qing touched the screen of invisible, cool light and murmured to himself.

“That’s right. It’s moonlight.” Feng Qingyou answered beside him.

“They’re coming from the Moon God’s statue.”

Ye Qing looked up. Black clouds were covering up the sky completely, so the moon was nowhere to be found. Therefore, the light could only come from the center of the inner city.

Ye Qing viewed the inner city with his demonic thought. He saw Meng Feixue wearing an exquisite outfit and standing in front of the Moon God’s statue. She was holding up a scroll and chanting words of offering.

As soon as the command was given, Elder Soul Sacrifice immediately tossed a human skull he was holding into the air.

The next moment, a pair of white flames lit up in the empty sockets of the skull. Then, it blew at the Nanjiang Pacification captives.

The gust of wind eroded the captives’ flesh and blood so quickly it was like watching a video on fast forward. In just the span of a few breaths, the ten thousand captives had all withered away into piles of dead bones.

At the same time, many souls were slowly floating into the air.

“Come eat...”

Meng Feixue cried. As if on cue, the souls all flew toward the Moon God’s statue and entered its body.

Before this, the statue still looked a little stiff and unnatural. But now, it was truly lifelike and overflowing with divinity.

“Welcome, Moon God...”

“Welcome, Moon God...”

“Welcome, Moon God...”

Meng Feixue, Elder Soul Sacrifice, Grandma Yu, and every Nanjiang citizen all dropped to their knees and kowtowed to the statue, chanting.

Gradually, the Moon God statue moved and pointed outside.

Seemingly ignoring the laws of space itself, the finger magically appeared outside the city and touched on the forehead of the divine beast.

The finger was as tiny and weak as a speck of dust compared to the massive, imposing-looking Jiang.

And yet, when the two objects collided, it was the terrifying Jiang that shattered like a moon in the water.

The Nanjiang Pacification Evil Suppressing Formation created by Barbarian Slayer, Wildland Suppression, and King Slayer was destroyed just like that.

“How is this possible?”

Kui Pingshan, Du Nanhai and Jin Wujiu turned as white as a sheet. They could not believe what just happened.

Before they could regain their wits, a humanoid silhouette appeared in the sky and walked toward them.

At first glance, the silhouette was still far, far away from them. When they looked again, it was right in front of them.

The silhouette was tall and imposing. Its dress and accessories were weaved from moonlight, and a bright moon was suspended above its head. It was carrying a jade rabbit in one arm and standing on a field of blue frost. It looked noble, holy, mysterious, and terrifying.

1. I forgot to mention, but Supreme Yin and Moon are interchangeable in Chinese, just as Supreme Yang and Sun are interchangeable. ☜
