Immortality Starts With Ignorant Heart Sword Art

Chapter 147: Thunderer, the Pivot of Yin and Yang (Continuation from Yesterday)

"Boom!"

Unable to tolerate Zhong Cang's arrogance and detesting his presence, which prevented him from obtaining power and extending his lifespan from the Demon Sect, a vice general of the Black Mountain Army stepped forward and angrily rebuked him.

Of course, while reprimanding him, he also prepared himself for defense.

Standing behind the commander of the Black Mountain Army, he believed that even if Zhong Cang were to attack, he would not be able to kill him.

As long as he wasn't killed immediately, the vice general believed that he would not die.

However, although he had planned well, what he never expected was that his words did not change Zhong Cang's expression, but seemed to anger... the heavens.

"Boom boom..."

Before the rebuking words could even fall, the sound of intense thunder resounded from the heavy dark clouds.

The wrath of thunder made the vice general, who was rebuking, feel an infinite sense of crisis. Commander Hou Pengfei also sensed something and quickly stepped forward, saying, "Stop..."

"Boom!"

Before he could finish speaking, a dazzling lightning bolt suddenly struck from the sky.

Although the vice general felt the crisis before the thunder sounded and the lightning struck, being able to sense the danger did not mean he could resist or dodge it.

The speed of lightning is almost equal to that of light, and by the time he sensed it, the attack had already struck him. It was an attack that could not be avoided.

In addition to its speed, thunder is also an unparalleled divine power.

The thunderer is the pivot of yin and yang, commanding the foundation of all things. Without thunder, there would be no way to govern the three realms.

In the Immortal Cultivation World, thunder is not only an attack, but also controls life and death, rewards and punishments, controls the weather, and slays demons...

In the information Zhong Cang obtained, the dominance and intimidation of Thunder Cultivators has always been equivalent to those who have cultivated Sword Intent.

There is even a saying that thunder is the most respected among all methods.

Although the power of thunder needs to be comprehended one by one, for now, he has only comprehended the killing (destruction) aspect of thunder.

But this alone is enough.

The power of this extremely strong and yang thunder in the world itself is already formidable enough.

Coupled with the artistic conception of 'killing (destruction),' even cultivators of the same level would find it difficult to withstand Zhong Cang's attack.

What made the vice general even more desperate was that Zhong Cang's thunder attack, which he unleashed with the help of the timing of the heavens, had the same power as a ninth level Qi Refining spell. The vice general's strength was at the peak of the Innate Martial Master, equivalent to the sixth level of Qi Refining.

Using a ninth level Qi Refining spell to attack a cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining, this spell being the extremely strong and yang thunder, and also containing the artistic conception of killing, the result goes without saying.

"Boom..."

"Ah!!!"

Unable to dodge, the unrivaled power of thunder directly enveloped the vice general's entire body.

The violent thunder and scorching heat instantly burned the vice general's body to a charred black.

Meanwhile, both the steel armor and the human body are conductive, and a violent electric current surged into the vice general's body, shattering his internal organs.

It should be said that Zhong Cang only had a thought, and a vice general was struck by thunder and turned into charcoal, dying in front of them.

This scene filled the hearts of the Black Mountain Legion with fear, especially those who were close to the vice general, causing their hair to stand on end.

They couldn't resist the power of thunder.

Faced with the awe-inspiring might of thunder, the first emotion that arose among the generals was fear, followed by anger.

"Lao Tao!"

"You dare to kill in front of us, you... you don't take us seriously..."

"Do you want to completely break ties with our Black Mountain Legion?"

"We have two hundred thousand men!"

The death of the vice general made the remaining Black Mountain commanders furious, and some of them even had their blood boiling, thinking of attacking Zhong Cang.

However, in the next moment, this thought was forcefully suppressed.

Just as they were about to make a move, behind Zhong Cang, the cultivators of the Cloud Firmament Sect began to emit colorful radiance, and various spells condensed in their hands.

Although there were only a hundred or so cultivators from the Cloud Firmament Sect, while the Black Mountain Legion had a massive force of two hundred thousand, the strength of the cultivators made it so that the legion commander and vice generals of the Black Mountain Legion did not have an absolute chance of winning.

What's more important was that behind Zhong Cang was the Cloud Firmament Sect, and they were just disciples of this vast sect.

On the other hand, although the Black Mountain Legion also had supporters, they had the imperial dynasty behind them. However, in this decadent dynasty, the Black Mountain Legion was already the top fighting force.

The Black Mountain Legion did not want, nor did they dare to fight against Zhong Cang and the others, because if they were to engage in battle, whether they won or lost, they would still die.

'Once we start a war, if we lose, we will die a miserable death. If we win, we will still die. We must not engage in battle.'

After confirming this point, even though they were unwilling in their hearts and their comrades' bodies were still cold, the commander of the Black Mountain Legion, Hou Pengfei, still swallowed his anger and gritted his teeth, saying, "Stop."

After speaking, he took a step forward and stared directly at Zhong Cang, asking, "What do you want to do?"

"Hand over the corpses of the people from the Demon Sect."

"They have already escaped, we can't capture them..."

"That's none of my concern... Last warning, hand over the corpses of the people from the Demon Sect."

"Crack!"

Unable to communicate with Zhong Cang, Hou Pengfei became very angry and somewhat regretful.

"I should have listened to Hua'er's words and gone to suppress the people from the Demon Sect... He was right, the leader of the Dao Sect this time is not only powerful, but also completely unreasonable..."

Arrogant, disregarding the difficulties and thoughts of others, as long as he gets the desired result, this kind of 'personality' made Hou Pengfei unsure of what to do.

What troubled him even more was Zhong Cang's seemingly impatient last warning, giving Hou Pengfei a feeling.

Is he really giving his final warning? If he answers incorrectly this time, will the madman on the other side really dare to start a war?

Once this was confirmed, Hou Pengfei was stunned.

Fortunately, he was a seasoned expert and managed to find a solution at this critical moment.

Or rather, the solution had always been there, but he had been unwilling to take action before.

"...Lord Zhong Cang, I am willing to bring 200,000 soldiers and civilians from the Black Mountain Army to join the Cloud Firmament Sect."

"Perfected Being, I beg you to give us another chance to redeem ourselves. These soldiers are innocent!"

The first sentence was spoken by Hou Pengfei, while the second plea was made by Hou Hua, who had met Zhong Cang once before.

In order to seek Zhong Cang's forgiveness, he even knelt directly on the ground.

As if moved by his sincerity, Zhong Cang hesitated for a moment, and finally his voice changed.

"I agree to your surrender."

"However, while capital punishment can be avoided, living punishment is hard to escape. Those who defy me will inevitably be punished."

At this point, Zhong Cang's tone suddenly changed.

"Of course, you can also see this as an opportunity."

"?!!"

"Opportunity?"

In response to the doubts of Hou Pengfei and the others, Zhong Cang, as always, did not answer, but continued to say to himself, "You all hate me, don't you?"

Hou Pengfei: "Perfected Being, you're joking. We have never..."

"Now, I give you a chance, a chance to challenge me. You, you, and you..."

In one breath, Zhong Cang pointed out all the Martial Artists who had just shown the most enthusiasm and hostility towards him.

Including the commander of the Black Mountain Army, Zhong Cang pointed out more than thirty people in one breath.

Looking at them, Zhong Cang said indifferently:

"This is a punishment, but also an opportunity for you. Challenge me, defeat me, as long as you can achieve victory, I will immediately leave and give you the freedom that the Black Mountain Army desires!"

After speaking, Zhong Cang noticed that although the members of the Black Mountain Army were eager to try, their emotions were not too high. He continued:

"Are you afraid that you won't be able to match me in strength? That's right, one-on-one, none of you are my opponents. But don't worry, you can attack together, and you don't need to completely defeat me. As long as you can withstand me for one minute, I will give you your freedom."

Ordering them to attack and saying that as long as they could withstand him for one minute, it would be considered a victory, this contemptuous statement made the group truly angry.

One vice commander couldn't help but step forward.

"What Perfected Being said is true."

"You don't deserve to make me lie."

"..."

"Well then, let's do it!"

"Boom!"

During this time, the vice commanders of the Black Mountain Army had also witnessed battles between cultivators and had personally fought against some cultivators.

In their eyes, although cultivators were versatile, they were not afraid of close combat as Martial Artists.

What made them fearful were the endless and varied spells of the cultivators.

Many powerful Martial Artists had been defeated by cultivators who were slightly inferior to them.

They didn't want to end up in such a situation, and they wanted to gain their freedom. This made many of the vice commanders of the Black Mountain Army, who were named by Zhong Cang, suddenly attack.

"Attack together!"

"Don't let him unleash powerful spells."

"Thirty-four against one, we can win!"

With the advantage of numbers, they felt a sense of security.

The only ones who lacked confidence were Hou Hua and Hou Pengfei.

The former was frightened by Zhong Cang.

The latter believed that Zhong Cang must have his own confidence in doing this.

However, since his subordinates had already rushed forward, he couldn't just sit back and watch.

Moreover, he also held some hope.

"We don't need to win, we just need to hold on for one minute to gain our freedom. We have a chance... No, we have a great chance!"

"Boom!"

With these thoughts in mind, Grandmaster Hou Pengfei couldn't help but take action.

However, just as he was about to ignite his blood and make a move...

A terrifying thing appeared before their eyes, the sky... became furious!

"Boom boom boom!!!"

As they rushed towards Zhong Cang, the dark clouds that covered the Black Mountain City suddenly became violent.

Blinding lightning kept churning within the dark clouds.

In just a few moments, the dense dark clouds that had covered the sky, threatening to crush the city, turned into even more violent and domineering thunderclouds.

...Such a change happening as they were about to attack clearly wasn't a natural phenomenon, but the work of human hands.

At the same time, although the vice commanders of the Black Mountain Army were greedy, they were not foolish. With a slight thought, they knew who was behind all of this.

Looking at the thunderclouds bursting in the sky and the figure of Zhong Cang on the ground, resembling a god, a thought that the various commanders of the Black Mountain Army didn't dare to believe, appeared in their minds.

"You summoned these thunderclouds!"

"How can you be so powerful as to cover an entire city!"
