Chapter 561 - 261: A Solo Performance
"Bang!"
A heavy sound resonated as the shield in the archer’s hand was forcibly pierced by a stone flung by Li Hengsheng!
The archer of the Ghost Race hiding behind the shield was also penetrated by the stone.
His head exploded!
At this point, everyone from the Celestial Water Tribe was utterly shocked!
Hiding behind a shield was futile!
"Run away quickly!"
"Escape fast!"
"Ghost City is attacking!"
All the archers quickly turned to flee, thinking it a joke to stay and wait for death.
The Celestial Water Tribe descended into chaos.
They hadn’t expected their first line of defense to break so easily.
Their archers hadn’t harmed a single person from Ghost City, but instead, they were dazed by a few small stones from Ghost City.
"Take action!"
Li Hengsheng mounted his horse, speaking calmly.
"Kill!"
With Li Hengsheng’s lead, the soldiers behind him were incredibly excited, as if fueled by adrenaline, kicking the bellies of their horses and madly charging toward the gates of the Celestial Water Tribe!
Led by Bai Ha, they raised their battle sabers high, the thundering of horse hooves echoing, the battle cries resounding!
However, just then, an archer appeared on the city wall, seemingly preparing for a feint to strike back at Ghost City’s side with a parting shot.
Unfortunately, Li Hengsheng had already anticipated this, so as soon as the archer showed his head, Li Hengsheng shot him dead on the spot with a stone!
"Boom!"
Several strongmen from Ghost City charged directly at the city gates!
The wooden gates couldn’t withstand such assaults and were broken open after a few hits, allowing Ghost City’s many soldiers to flood in.
The Celestial Water Tribe could be considered quite a large tribe, and they had prepared well for such an invasion. As Ghost City’s soldiers breached the city, the people of the Celestial Water Tribe raised their weapons to engage.
Leading them was a Postnatal Great Perfection warrior from the Ghost Race!
With bloodshot eyes, he charged forward with a battle axe, wanting to give Ghost City’s soldiers a fierce show of power.
Yet, Li Hengsheng didn’t give him a chance at all.
Executing his Body Technique, Li Hengsheng’s force burst forth, shaking the earth, and his robust body surged forth. With a terrifying Body Technique and a black spear in hand, the Postnatal Great Perfection Blood Ghost felt an unstoppable force rushing at him.
Without dodging, he directly met it with a slash.
Unfortunately, his blade shattered on the spot, and Li Hengsheng nailed him to the wooden wall with one strike!
A Postnatal Great Perfection warrior was annihilated just like that!
Before he died, the Postnatal Great Perfection warrior looked at Li Hengsheng in disbelief.
"Human Race..."
He never expected to die at the hands of someone from the Human Race.
Others took a deep breath, Bai Ha was also filled with mixed emotions. This Ghost Race warrior had previously fought against Bai Ha when they last attacked the Celestial Water Tribe, exchanging dozens of moves and drawing to a standstill.
Yet this expert, who fought Bai Ha to a tie, couldn’t even withstand a single move in front of the captain.
Bai Ha had to admit, Li Hengsheng was far stronger than their previous fallen captain.
The saying goes: strike while the iron is hot.
Li Hengsheng’s actions greatly diminished the morale of the Celestial Water Tribe. The tribe members, fighting for their lives, were shocked to see one of their top warriors killed so effortlessly.
And then they realized that Li Hengsheng was from the Human Race.
"Kill him!"
Someone shouted, and the crowd rushed at Li Hengsheng.
In their view, as long as they could deal with Li Hengsheng, the remaining Ghost City soldiers wouldn’t pose much of a threat.
They believed they couldn’t match him individually, but surely they could overwhelm Li Hengsheng with sheer numbers?
What they didn’t know was that during the Ghostly Realm trial, Li Hengsheng fought through hundreds of thousands of the Ghost Race, carrying Lu Shiran out while trampling over countless Ghost Race corpses. What were a few hundred people now?
Though unable to perform his previous spear techniques, the new techniques Li Hengsheng had cultivated were more than sufficient.
"Thousand Sorts of Rain!"
As Li Hengsheng thrust his spear, the shadowy spear turned into a rain of crimson, countless gleams of the spear like meteors enveloping the crowd, those who rushed were turned into sieves by the spear glints of Li Hengsheng.
But that wasn’t the end, with a single stride, the black spear in Li Hengsheng’s hand took yet countless more heads.
Blood trickled down the spear tip.
To Li Hengsheng, the Ghost Race held no appeal, and his assaults showed no mercy. Passing through enemies like an invincible war god.
No Ghost Race member could withstand a single strike from Li Hengsheng.
As the slaughter continued, the remaining Ghost Race members, seeing their dead strewn all over, were petrified and utterly unwilling to approach.
Meanwhile, Ghost City’s soldiers could only smile wryly.
Since their arrival at the Celestial Water Tribe, they hadn’t had a single kill. Following Li Hengsheng, they watched him single-handedly challenge hundreds of the Ghost Race.
Li Hengsheng seemed like a forbidden zone, contact meant death.
As Li Hengsheng advanced deeper into the Celestial Water Tribe, the Ghost Race was terrified by his killing aura.
As he pressed on, they discovered the Celestial Water Tribe was built over a large water body.
"Captain, be careful, there are two Water Ghosts in the water, very powerful. On the water, they can exhibit even greater strength!"
Upon seeing the water body, Bai Ha was shocked and quickly warned Li Hengsheng, fearing for his welfare.
Yet Li Hengsheng paid no mind.
Continuing his progress.
The others followed cautiously behind him.
When Li Hengsheng reached the water’s edge, he turned back looking puzzled at the group.
"Why are you following me?"
Li Hengsheng asked.
"Huh?"
Stunned, they were speechless. If we don’t follow you, where else would we go?
We came here to fight. Expecting a brutal battle today, we anticipated fighting till the very end, perhaps even dying here.
But who would have thought!
Who could have imagined that after entering, they merely played the role of spectators?
They hadn’t claimed a single adversary, all were slain by Li Hengsheng alone.
What else could they do?
All they could do was follow Li Hengsheng and watch.
Seeing their dazed expressions, Li Hengsheng said helplessly: "Why are we here? To seize resources. Don’t just stand there dumbfounded, if you see anything valuable, pack it, load it onto carts, and take it back. Do you need us to teach you this?"
Upon hearing Li Hengsheng, the troops realized.
Damn, that’s right!
They were so focused on the spectacle!
Completely forgetting their primary task.
They immediately started searching nearby for valuables, including grains to take away.
Only then did Li Hengsheng step onto the water body.
As soon as he did, he felt two powerful gazes fixate on him.
At the same time, he noticed that most of the Celestial Water Tribe’s structures were built above this water body.
Numerous Ghost Race martial artists were already holding weapons, focusing intently on him.
"Human Race."
At that moment, a condescending voice rang out: "It’s rare to see a Human Race person here. Yet such a trivial Human Race dares to make trouble in Cloud Wasteland, even daring to cause trouble in our Celestial Water Tribe. You must be tired of living!"
"It’s been a long time since we’ve tasted human flesh. It might be a good day to try some." Another voice echoed.
Glancing around, Li Hengsheng saw two figures standing on the water’s surface.
These two figures were tall, not as enormous as the Giant Race, but over two meters tall. With bluish skin and robust muscles, they exuded a menacing presence. They flanked Li Hengsheng, one on each side, surrounding him.
Water ripples formed whirlpools beneath their feet.
In this moment, their Postnatal Peak abilities seemed enhanced.
"Water Ghosts."
Li Hengsheng glanced indifferently at the two.
"Captain, be wary, these two are the true rulers of the Celestial Water Tribe, the Water Ghost brothers, Zhong Sheng and Zhongbei. Together they can even rival the Innate!" Bai Ha urgently shouted to Li Hengsheng.
"You want to eat human flesh, but I’m afraid your teeth won’t be too good for that," Li Hengsheng replied flatly.
