Chapter 1387: Conquering Bright City
January 26, 2018
Beyond the World, Bright City!
Fifty thousand Beyond World evil demons were organized into a legion, making their last stand under the command of Qi Ji Guang.
As one of the few renowned generals in the Ming Dynasty, Qi Ji Guang's abilities were undoubtedly exceptional.
In the decades he spent in the Beyond World, Qi Ji Guang's strength, though not breaking through 100, had reached a commanding prowess of 110, placing him among the top-tier commanders in the Beyond World. While he might not match Zhang Han and others, his leadership was still formidable.
With his terrifying command ability, the Beyond World evil demons transformed from the Qi Family Army under his command, and the power boost they received from the Beyond World, this legion's combat strength at this moment had even surpassed that of Zhang Han's legion a decade ago.
However, much to their dismay, even with such prowess, Qi Ji Guang still couldn't escape his fate of being crushed.
Who was Lu Hai Kong? He was a man with the capability and audacity to launch a counterattack against the entire Beyond World. If he wasn't afraid of the whole Beyond World, how could he fear conquering a mere Bright City, led by Qi Ji Guang? It was almost laughable!
Qi Ji Guang's army had just been assembled, and a war god-like aura was barely taking shape. They hadn't even had the chance to showcase Qi Ji Guang's and his army's true abilities.
Over there, Dian Wei threw a pair of Ghost God Halberds, which resembled terrifying cannonballs, smashing the illusory war formation. In an instant, the formation was shattered.
Simultaneously, over a dozen young generals charged from the sidelines.
These generals, all with strength surpassing 100, were the younger generation of warriors.
Evidently, they considered Qi Ji Guang and his army as a whetstone to hone their skills. As a whetstone, Qi Ji Guang was indeed qualified.
Despite the dissolution of his formation, Qi Ji Guang, with his commanding prowess of 110, continued to lead the fifty thousand Beyond World evil demons and hold his ground against the dozen young generals.
He even managed to suppress the young generals for a while. However, Qi Ji Guang's efforts were in vain, as the absolute disparity in strength left him with no chance of victory.
After half an hour, one of the young generals broke through, his long spear wielded like a dragon. With a full burst of his 100 strength, he swiftly subdued Qi Ji Guang, whose strength had not yet broken 100.
As Qi Ji Guang was captured, Lu Hai Kong simultaneously received a system notification.
[Ding! You have crushed all resistance in Bright City, successfully conquering it. Reward calculation begins!]
[Your subordinate Yue Ying has captured the special historical evil demon, Chang Yu Chun. You receive a Myth Chest and a Heaven-Earth Blessing!]
[Your subordinate Ma Dai has captured the special historical evil demon, Qi Ji Guang. You receive a Myth Chest and a Heaven-Earth Blessing!]
[Your generals have slain 13 Blood Devil Generals, earning you five Myth Chests and thirteen Heaven-Earth Blessings!]
[You have successfully conquered Bright City and obtained one Heaven-Earth Chest and fifty Heaven-Earth Blessings!]
"One city equals one Heaven-Earth Chest. If I were to annihilate the entire Beyond World, I'd probably become invincible," Lu Hai Kong imagined the scene of hundreds of Heaven-Earth Chests before him, feeling a bit dizzy with excitement.
As Lu Hai Kong was lost in his fantasy of hundreds of Heaven-Earth Chests, another system notification snapped him back to reality.
【You have successfully conquered the Bright City, please choose your course of action!
1. Destroy, 2. Loot, 3. Purify!】
Lu Hai Kong was momentarily stunned by this system prompt, even feeling a twinge of nostalgia. When he first arrived in the Three Kingdoms world and conquered the mountain stronghold, the system frequently presented him with this choice. However, as his influence gradually expanded, he rarely encountered these options again, as he seldom ventured into cross-domain dungeons.
"What's happening to me? Am I getting old so soon? Why am I feeling so nostalgic?"
Shaking his head, he snapped out of his reverie and made his decision without hesitation.
In reality, despite appearing to have three options, Lu Hai Kong only saw one viable choice—the third one!
As the bridgehead for his offensive against Beyond the World and the location of the Cross-Domain Gate, there was no way Lu Hai Kong would even consider destroying Bright City, not even if he had lost his mind. Thus, the first two choices were non-existent in his eyes.
Purification, on the other hand, was a necessity in Lu Hai Kong's opinion.
Even though he had only been in Beyond the World for half a day, Lu Hai Kong had already sensed the extremely harsh environment, heavy with malevolent and demonic energy.
Even within the Demon City, ordinary soldiers couldn't stay for long without risking illness. Lu Hai Kong wouldn't dare bring his family members with their delicate constitutions to such a place. However, after choosing the third option, another problem arose.
【Do you wish to consume 200 portions of Heaven-Earth Blessing to purify Bright City and the extra-dimensional demons within?】
This system prompt left Lu Hai Kong completely baffled.
What's going on? Purifying Bright City requires Heaven-Earth Blessings? And a whopping 200 portions? Why not just rob them!
The required amount was too high, and even if Lu Hai Kong was willing, he couldn't afford it at this point.
Fortunately, Lu Hai Kong soon realized that these 200 portions of Heaven-Earth Blessing were not only for purifying Bright City but also for cleansing the extra-dimensional demons within.
With this understanding, Lu Hai Kong immediately issued a demon-slaying order, instructing his forces to either kill or expel all extra-dimensional demons in Bright City, leaving only the top-tier demon generals like Chang Yu Chun and Qi Ji Guang.
In less than an hour, after Dian Wei and his men completed their task, eliminating or driving out nearly 500,000 extra-dimensional demons from Bright City, Lu Hai Kong once again activated the purification function.
【Do you wish to consume 102 portions of Heaven-Earth Blessing to purify Bright City and the extra-dimensional demons within?】
After expelling 500,000 extra-dimensional demons, Lu Hai Kong was left with half the required Heaven-Earth Blessings, including the portions needed to purify Chang Yu Chun, Qi Ji Guang, and the others.
This time, Lu Hai Kong didn't hesitate much. While he couldn't afford 200 portions, he could manage 102. Just capturing Bright City had earned him 65 portions, and with the 102 portions he already had, it was sufficient.
Once he confirmed that he had enough Heaven-Earth Blessings, Lu Hai Kong didn't wait for Qi Ji Guang and the others to surrender; he clicked confirm without hesitation.
As Lu Hai Kong confirmed his choice, a sacred and brilliant radiance soared into the sky from the very heart of Bright City...
