Chapter 832: Chapter 832: Crushing (Part 1)

In front of White Deer Academy, the standoff between Wang Chen and Sikong Deping continued.

On Wang Chen’s side, strictly speaking, there was only himself.

Gao Zhuang, who was responsible for holding Sikong Hongfei hostage, was utterly irrelevant to the overall situation, merely a background character.

In contrast, on Sikong Deping’s side, there were thirty-six Innate Martial Artists, two to three hundred Iron-clad Cavaliers, plus twelve supporting Cultivators.

Such forces were enough to conquer any city other than Taiwu City!

Therefore, on the surface, the strengths of the two sides in the standoff were completely asymmetrical.

However, Wang Chen displayed an aura that was only stronger, not weaker than Sikong Deping’s, as if he were the one with the advantage.

This silent standoff only ended with the appearance of Mo Han and the Mo Family.

Sikong Hongfei’s side moved quickly, taking just over two hours to bring everyone over.

“Taoist Friend Wang!”

Seeing Wang Chen standing in front of the academy, Mo Han in the carriage couldn’t help but tear up.

Though the Cultivator was dressed in a brand-new robe, it could not hide the scars on his face and hands, and his odd sitting posture clearly indicated that his legs had been broken.

Undoubtedly, Mo Han had suffered greatly during his imprisonment at Green Cloud Palace.

Compared to him, the Mo Family members were relatively better off, though every one of their expressions showed fear and unease, none were injured.

“Taoist Friend Mo.”

Wang Chen nodded at Mo Han, “I’m sorry you’ve suffered.”

Mo Han showed a smile that looked even uglier than crying.

He had almost lost his life due to Wang Chen’s involvement and it was impossible for him to have no grievances at all.

But Mo Han was very clear about who his real enemy was!

Wang Chen owed him no favors.

The exchange of “hostages” went smoothly, with Sikong Deping not playing any tricks, especially after having witnessed Wang Chen’s ruthless and merciless tactics.

Wang Chen had Gao Zhuang take care of settling the Mo Family, then he closed the grand doors of the academy.

Now, he was truly facing a host of formidable enemies single-handedly.

“Wang Chen!”

Having retrieved his loved son, Sikong Deping no longer held any reservations, and barked fiercely, “I offer you one final chance. As long as you seal your cultivation and kneel in surrender, I…”

Boom boom boom~

Before Sikong Deping could finish, a deep thunder suddenly rang out from the still relatively clear sky.

Shocking the Divine Soul of everyone present!

Whinny whinny!

Many warhorses were startled and jumped, nearly throwing their riders off.

A considerable disorder arose within the Green Cloud Palace’s formation.

Sikong Deping shut his mouth, his face extremely gloomy.

He had long heard that Wang Chen had mastered powerful Thunder Magic, having once used the Ten Thousand Thunder Technique to annihilate a large number of attacking Fierce Beasts of the academy.

Sikong Deping even knew that Jiyun, now neither seen in life nor found in death, had received a beast-controlling Magical Treasure bestowed by an Elder, intending to confront Wang Chen and take over the Transformative Fiery Beast in his possession.

Thus, the Green Cloud Palace could be certain that Wang Chen and Jiyun’s disappearance were most directly connected.

Jiyun had most likely met with disaster!

Despite his young age, Wang Chen possessed such formidable strength. With specifics still unclear, naturally, the Green Cloud Palace did not dare to act rashly, watching as White Deer Academy grew stronger step by step.

But Wang Chen’s appetite was truly too great.

White Deer Academy’s first batch of recruits was 3,000 disciples, while the second batch reached a staggering tens of thousands. In addition to a large number of ordinary people’s children, there were also many children from smaller families.

The upper echelons of Taiwu City repeatedly tried to suppress them but felt an increasingly significant threat.

The most terrifying aspect was the rapid cultivation rate of the disciples of White Deer Academy. In just a little over a year, they had cultivated thousands of second and third-order martial artists.

With this trend continuing, it wouldn’t take long for White Deer Academy to completely overpower all the forces of Taiwu City.

Unfortunately, due to the connection with Mercy World Medicine Manor, Wang Chen had a very good reputation among the middle- and lower-class, receiving praises from everyone.

What does he want to do? And what is he going to do!

Eventually, Green Cloud Palace couldn’t sit idly by anymore. Under Sikong Deping’s organization, they devised a plan to target Wang Chen and White Deer Academy.

However, as soon as they began implementing their plan, Wang Chen directly broke Sikong Hongfei’s strategy!

Sikong Deping almost spat out three mouthfuls of blood.

This man must not be allowed to continue to grow, or he would become unstoppable!

Realizing this, Sikong Deping immediately suppressed the fear and dread in his heart, reaching out to grab a talisman card and raised it high, “Cultivator Wang Chen, you disregard the alliance’s rules, bring disaster to the locality, obstinately refuse to reform–your crimes are unforgivable!”

To avoid being interrupted again, he said all these words in one breath.

“Kill!”

When Sikong Deping raised his card, more than two hundred iron-clad knights charged toward Wang Chen together.

They shouted angrily, and the battle array’s killing Qi surged to the peak in an instant, manifesting a gigantic roaring blood beast above the formation!

Twelve cultivators, seated on Yunluan, formed their spells while simultaneously stimulating their mana to enhance these knights.

Thirty-six innate martial artists picked up long spears hanging by their saddles and channeled their innate True Qi into them before forcefully throwing them at Wang Chen.

Their coordination was extremely precise, remaining still until making a move powerful enough to change the heavens and the earth!

A fierce gleam flashed in Sikong Deping’s eyes.

The force led by Sikong Deping was part of the core force of Green Cloud Palace, one he really wasn’t entitled to mobilize due to his status, but he had a father like his son’s!

Sikong Deping didn’t believe that Wang Chen could withstand their thunderous strike.

Crack!

Just as the battle erupted, the sky suddenly became covered with dark clouds, and streaks of blue-purple thunder descended from the sky.

The first bolts of thunder struck the iron-clad knights’ blood beast, which barely lasted a moment before dissipating into countless light particles.

The charging iron-clad knights simultaneously grunted, blood spurting from their eyes, nose, and ears.

They were struck by a backlash of killing intent!

But the true fatal blow came from the lightning that struck them after breaking the blood beast.

Every bolt of lightning contained a terrifying power, and tragically, the knights’ heavy metal armor only amplified the potency of the Falling Thunder.

Dozens of knights nearly simultaneously fell from their horses, wisps of smoke rising from the seams of their armor.

The men inside were electrocuted into charred remains!

But this was just the beginning because more lightning followed one after another.

In just under two hundred steps, a distance they could have crossed in the blink of an eye, these formidable iron-clad knights found themselves facing an insurmountable abyss of death!

The next moment, Wang Chen raised his right palm and struck upwards.

The thirty-six long spears charged with innate True Qi hit an invisible wall of bronze and iron.

They snapped and fell to the ground, not harming Wang Chen in the slightest.
