Outside the city walls, a group of several dozen people leading a large army towards the Cloud Top Empire were engaged in an argument. They were debating who should go and fight the Destroyer of the World and the Cloud Top King.
"Fellow disciples, since leaving the Heaven and Earth Sect, most of us have had some practice. Why don't we let those who haven't had a chance to practice go?" Jia Jiaqin interrupted the argument.
"Who hasn't had practice?" someone asked.
Jia Jiaqin pointed at the thousands of Yellow Sky Behemoths following the army, eager to join the fight.
"My little Yellow Sky beasts, it's time for you to practice."
"Oh, come on!" Li Jin said, "Those little yellow cows you just raised would probably be wiped out by the Destroyer of the World and his allies in one move."
"Why don't you let me go? I'll catch their blade with my bare hands and take them down directly!" someone else suggested.
"Fellow senior and junior disciples..." Wu Tian spoke up timidly from the side, "These two have beaten me up many times. I'm itching to get back at them. Why don't you let me go?"
"No way, let me blow them up!" As soon as Wu Tian finished speaking, Hong Fengkuang loudly objected, "If you don't let me go, I'll self-destruct right now!"
"..."The disciples' mouths twitched upon hearing this.
All of this was clearly heard by the Destroyer of the World and the Cloud Top King standing on the city wall.
The two of them were grinding their teeth in anger.
They couldn't believe they were being treated as prey. It was simply intolerable.
"Today, I'll make them understand why the flowers are so red!" the Cloud Top King said angrily. "Especially that brat who threatened to blow us up!!!"
With these words, he leaped into the air and struck out with his palm towards the people below the city!
The Destroyer of the World followed suit.
Before they could reach their targets, Hong Fengkuang had already charged towards them.
"This fool dares to charge at us directly?" the Cloud Top King sneered, "Hah, seeking death!"
The next moment, an earth-shattering boom resounded. Before the two could react, fire and smoke instantly engulfed them.
The dismembered bodies of the two fell back onto the city wall.
The Cloud Top King's arm was blown off, and he fainted.
As for the Destroyer of the World, he was reduced to minced meat.
His eyeballs rolled around, and his lips, stuck to the eaves of the city wall, moved, "Quick, close the city gates!"
"Yes!" The people below hurriedly retreated to close the gates.
"Idiots! Bring my minced meat with you!"
...
...
In the grand hall of Cloud Top, the Cloud Top King slowly regained consciousness.
A mass of mangled flesh in the center of the hall was slowly wriggling, with a hazy mist surrounding it.
The flesh gradually came together, forming a human shape.
Outside, the sounds of shouting and battering at the gates were deafening.
"Both of our fighting capabilities are temporarily lost, and their morale is at its peak. What are we to do?" the Cloud Top King said gravely as he reconstituted his severed limb.
The Destroyer of the World slowly stood up from the ground, his face devoid of color. "Stay calm."
"Don't we still have those four behind-the-scenes figures in our hands?" he said. "As long as we have them, even if they break through the city gates, they won't dare to act rashly."
Hearing this, the Cloud Top King nodded, "That's true." But his face was still filled with anger.
Suddenly, there was a thunderous crash from outside. It was the sound of the city gates breaking.
Just as they were talking, someone rushed in from below, "Report!!!"
"Report what? The city gates are broken? Do I need you to tell me that?!"
"You can't even defend a single city gate, useless!" The enraged Cloud Top King raised his foot to kick the man, but the Destroyer of the World quickly grabbed his leg.
"Speak," the Destroyer of the World turned to the subordinate.
The subordinate wiped the cold sweat from his brow and said, "Your Majesty, the barrier of the Ancient Killing Formation has been broken, and the four people inside have disappeared!"
The Cloud Top King withdrew his leg and grabbed the subordinate by the collar, roaring, "What?! They escaped? What about the seven women guarding the formation??"
"Your... Your Majesty, they've disappeared too," the subordinate said, carefully covering his neck. "It seems they've... defected..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the enraged Cloud Top King killed him with a single palm strike.
Then, he clutched his chest and staggered backward.
The Destroyer of the World, with a grave expression, steadied the Cloud Top King. "Didn't you say your national treasury has many rare and precious materials?"
"We need to recover quickly. Let's go to the treasury and take a few top-grade immortal pills to recover. We still have a chance to fight them!"
"Right, right, right!" The Cloud Top King came to his senses and was about to call for his subordinates, "Come here!"
"Report!!!"
This voice almost made the Cloud Top King faint.
Fortunately, the Destroyer of the World caught him.
"It's alright, it's probably just about the city falling. Don't panic."
"Yes, yes, you're right." The Cloud Top King recovered and said, "Speak, what happened?"
"Our... our national treasury's barrier has also been broken! It's been completely looted..." the subordinate spoke tremblingly, while discreetly covering his chest.
Hearing this, the Cloud Top King coughed up a mouthful of blood.
He drew a sword from a nearby rack and swung it at the subordinate's neck.
...
...
The Cloud Top King and the Destroyer of the World stood in front of the ransacked treasury.
Both of them had bloodshot eyes.
"These fools, they took all the gold coins..." the Cloud Top King said with a trembling voice, "But didn't take a single immortal treasure."
"But they destroyed everything," the Destroyer of the World clenched his fists, anger radiating from his body.
"Report!!!"
The Destroyer of the World turned around and reduced the person to dust.
"I don't want to hear it."
"The city has fallen, and our imperial city barrier has also been broken," the Cloud Top King looked into the distance, all color drained from his face. "What should we do now?"
The Destroyer of the World took out the Immortal Pillars and looked at the completely vanished fortune within. His expression was extremely grim.
Before they could discuss a concrete plan, the army had already charged in.
The two were quickly surrounded by the several dozen people leading the charge.
They stood there, at a loss for what to do.
"Weren't you two so powerful?" Wu Tian stood at the front, taunting loudly. "Why aren't you so arrogant now?"
Behind him, several dozen senior disciples stood with their arms folded, looking at the two men before them as if they were already dead.
"What do we do, what do we do?" The Cloud Top King was scared witless, covering his arm that hadn't fully recovered.
At this moment, both of them were unwilling to admit that they couldn't handle the situation, yet they had no choice but to acknowledge it.
Just as they were about to give up all hope, the sky suddenly darkened.
A huge black vortex appeared in the sky, and the wind began to howl.
The several dozen disciples couldn't help but raise their hands to shield their faces.
The Destroyer of the World and the Cloud Top King, who had just been in despair, were now overjoyed. They looked at the figure emerging from the black vortex and shouted happily, "The Envoy, it's the Envoy!!!"
With that, both of them flew up and hid behind the Envoy who had appeared from the black vortex.
The Cloud Top King stretched out his arm, pointing at the several dozen people below, "Weren't you all so cocky? Let me tell you, from this moment on, you're all dead!"
He waved his arm and laughed loudly, clapping his hands.
