Repugnant Gateway

Chapter 660 – Beginning

An Zheng came out of the Ming Fa Si’s sanctuary, and casually found a restaurant to eat on the street. After calculating the time, there was still less than thirty-five hours before the great army leaves the southern part of Hongyuan City, and his chance, was this short period of time before the great army left from the south.

In the period of time before the great army sets off, Left Swordhall must have left some instructions at Left, and then returned to the great army. While An Zheng was eating, he kept thinking about one thing. If there was something that could delay the Left Swordhall?

A clear vein gradually formed in An Zheng’s mind. He stood up, paid the bill, and walked out of Hongyuan City. The great army would definitely leave the southern gate, and returning to the Left from the southern gate was also the closest way, so if the Left Swordhall suddenly received news from the great army that they had no choice but to rush back to the Left, they would definitely return from the southern gate’s side.

An Zheng walked along the main road out of the southern gate, and after about an hour, he selected a location. This was a fork in the road. There waavilion by the side. There were no houses in the surrounding area, and no one would accidentally hurt them.

An Zheng experimented for a while. With his current strength, he would need at least ten minutes to get to Left at the fastest speed possible. Although he was at the seventh stage of the Higher Completion Stage, his speed was not inferior to an early stage Lower Celestial Stage Ranker, so the Left Swordhall would probably need a lot of time.

Ten minutes.

Inside the pavilion, there were two stone stools and a stone table. An Zheng placed the lightning on the left under the stone stool, and then, he carved a few words on the left side of the stone table.

An Zheng recalled all the records in the Ming Fa Si’s archives. He was a left-handed person. An Zheng stood at the spot where the stone chair was located, thinking about something, he raised his left hand to cover his face, then suddenly retreated backwards, landing about fifty meters away from the pavilion, then retreated fifteen meters, digging a hole in the ground and burying a Spirit Arts Lightning.

Then, An Zheng closed his eyes and thought for a while. He saw a tree on the right abouundred meters and a magpie ‘nest. An Zheng went over and used a rope to secure a crossbow inside the Magpie’s Nest. The Magpie’s Nest looked towards the pergola and broke a hole in it, making it easier for the crossbow to fly out.

On the crossbows, there were two crossbows, each with a magic lightning bolt tied to the front end.

Then, An Zheng hollowed a piece of the tree trunk and placed a Jadeite Spirit Stone inside. On top of the jade spirit stone was a magic thunder, and in front of the magic thunder was a dozen or so iron tribulations, all of which contained Golden-Rank Spirit Stone.

Then, An Zheng returned to the pergola and walked around 300 meters towards the direction of the city. He dug a hole in the public road and placed a Spirit Mantra Thunder, on top of it, he also placed a few iron tribulations.

There werotal of nine spirit lightning bolts, but six were already set up, leaving the other three An Zheng on him. He did not return to the city, but sat down on a large tree with a magpie’s nest. The Invisibility Cloak did not have the same abnormal invisibility as the Yaksha Umbrella. It was only limited to when it was still and motionless, and would form the same color as the surrounding environment, and it could not even block one’s Qi. Only, it would not be able to see any flaws from afar, as it was a standard equipment used by the Enforcers of Ming Fa Si to do whatever they wanted.

After all this had been arranged, there were still less than twenty-four hours left before the great army would depart. An Zheng did it on top of a big tree. Leaning on the tree trunk, he squinted his eyes and actually slept for a while, and even slept soundly on top of that.

When he opened his eyes, it was already the second day. He adjusted his breathing and slept for over ten hours. His body’s fatigue and the Cultivation Power that he had used up in order to store the Spirit Lightning had basically recovered completely.

Not long after he opened his eyes, a squadron of abouundred men riding on the official road roared past. The flags of the crimson Da Xi army fluttered in the wind. The hundreds of cavalry were like a strong gale as they swept past. They raised a cloud of dust and quickly disappeared.

Although An Zheng had never done anything in the Da Xi military, he was familiar with a lot of things regarding the Da Xi military. According to the usual practice, once the army left, they would have to continuously release four groups of roaming cavalry. After each batch was separated by four hours, a large group of roaming cavalry would be sent out. There were at least a few hundred thousand soldiers coming from the south of Hongyuan city. If they were to travel on the road, they would not be able to leave the city within a day.

But An Zheng had already investigated everything clearly. This time, in order to show off Da Xi’s power, Daxi Shenghuang gave Chen Zhongxu a Seven Treasures Chariot. Therefore, An Zheng was sure that Chen Zhongxu would definitely go down the main road south on the chariot, and the Left Swordhall would definitely follow by his side. A portion of the army would ride on the navy’s battleship to the south, while the other portion would ride on the flying army’s battleship, forming a spectacular sight of the surface, air, and water forces simultaneously heading south.

Therefore, there were no infantry on the official road, only cavalry. Other than the 80,000 light riders, there were another 10,000 heavy riders and 1,000 hempen riders. Adding in the support troops and horse carriages, there were more than 100,000 people walking on the official road.

An Zheng began to recuperate his breathing once again, to maintain the best possible state of mind.

After riding four batches of horses, another two hours had passed. A cloud of dust had started to rise in the distance. It was as if it was coming from a dark cloud that was close to the ground. The black mass was like an angry dragon, and the rumbling sounds were approaching from a distance.

An Zheng sat up straight on the big tree, watching the mighty cavalry army charge forward witoar. The scene was extremely shocking. The people said that there was no end to ten thousand people. One could imagine how spectacular it was when a troop of over a hundred thousand cavalrymen passed by. The team seemed to have disappeared, and the scary thing was that apart from the sound of the hooves, there was no other sound.

This was Da Xi’s military discipline.

After about an hour, An Zheng saw the banner of the Central Army, and a gigantic pure black chariot that was at least five to six meters long. The chariot was made from pure metal, and on it were seven gems embedded, divided into seven different colors, arranged according to the Seven Treasures that Chen Wunuo had bestowed upon him.

The large army lasted for a full eight hours, the last group of people gradually disappeared from An Zheng’s line of sight.

After the group passed, An Zheng waited for around 10 more minutes. Sure enough, there was a group of Rangers at the back, with about 400 to 500 people. After this group of people passed by, An Zheng got down from the big tree and flew towards Hong Yuan City. Ten minutes later, An Zheng appeared outside the big house in Left. He threw in a caltrop from the south side of the courtyard. After the caltrop flew in, it suddenly exploded, and a few slips of paper dropped down.

Then, An Zheng moved like lightning, quickly reaching the backyard, throwing a Spirit Mana Thunder into the garden. The spirit lightning which had the power of Heavenly Thunder of Nine Suns was thrown into the backyard. When An Zheng threw the spirit lightning which had the power of Heavenly Thunder of Nine Suns into the backyard, the blue light spots on his left eye started to spin after An Zheng left his hand for a few hundred metres.

The powerful Heavenly Thunder of Nine Suns directly razed more than ten acres of garden in the backyard to the ground.

Then, An Zheng quickly moved back to the front yard. He heard the crowd heading to the back yard, and then throwing a Spirit Fa Lei in the front yard.

With a boom, the courtyard in front of him, including the few hundred metres long wall, the road ahead, the buildings at the entrance of the Left, and at leasundred large trees in front of him had all turned to ash. It was an attack of the level of a forbidden martial art. Its power was beyond imagination.

An Zheng threw two more spirit lightning bolts at them before quickly fleeing. Right now, there was only one spirit lightning bolt left on him.

He quickly left the city without thinking about anything else. If he didn’t succeed, he could only give up. The plan was always in the hands of the enemy, and it all depended on one’s luck.

Ten minutes later, An Zheng had already returned to the vicinity of the pavilion, climbed up the large tree once more, and stood there wearing his Invisibility Cloak as he waited. Only two minutes later than him, a few people rode demon beasts and rushed towards the south along the road like the wind.

After waiting for these few people to pass, An Zheng got down from the big tree and returned to the pavilion to sit down. The people who sent the message to Left Swordhall would need at least an hour to catch up to the team. What else could he do in this hour?

There seemed to be nothing left to do, so the next step was to see if his luck was really that good. If the Left Swordhall did not return, then all of his plans would have been for naught.

After sitting for a while, An Zheng took out a brush and wrote a few words on the outside of the pavilion’s pillar... Left Swordhall died here.

Then he headed towards the right, which was about two hundred meters away from the pavilion. From there, he could see a very clear path to the south, and if Left Swordhall came back, he would definitely be able to see it.

An Zheng laid down on the slope and raised his head to look at the sun that was about to set. It was bright red, not dazzling at all. At this moment, the sun was like a mother’s gentle eyes, giving people the final warmth before the arrival of night.

An Zheng never believed in any sort of Divine Buddha. He could understand how these helpless commoners would place their hopes on the Divine Buddha, but he would never choose to do that. But at this moment, An Zheng even subconsciously said “Bodhisattva’s blessing”, and then laughed out loud … Bodhisattva? Bodhisattva has nothing to do with the Da Xi side.

He lay on the grass, breathing in the faint scent of the grass, looking at the floating clouds in the sky, then watching the setting sun slowly move away from the horizon, gradually falling to the other side of the horizon that he couldn’t see.

An Zheng calculated the time, stood up, and threw a pearl towards the pavilion. The light on the bead was sparkling, making the pavilion stand out in the early night.

Less than five minutes after the pavilion lit up, Left Swordhall rodhree-headed tiger and swiftly rushed over from afar. It was basically the same as what An Zheng had predicted. Maybe this was An Zheng’s luck, or maybe it was unlucky. After all, the difference between him and the Left Swordhall was just too big.

Seeing that the pavilion was still bright, Left Swordhall subconsciously took another glance at it, and then saw a few words written on the pillar.

Left Swordhall died here.

Left Swordhall frowned, killing intent leaking out of his eyes. He suddenly stopped, jumped down from the three tigers, and walked towards the pavilion with large strides.

“What kind of scumbag is this!?” Since you want to kill me, then come out and let me see who exactly you are! ”

Left Swordhall looked around and roared.

Then, he saw a few words also carved on the table. Left Swordhall died here.

He could not contain his anger. He strode forward and smashed the stone table into pieces with his palm.

An Zheng lied on the other side of the slope, unable to see what the Left Swordhall had done, but he heard the sound of the stone table shattering. The blue dot of light in his left eye started to spin. The lightning bolt hidden in the chair suddenly exploded!

The entire night sky was illuminated by the intense flames.
