Chapter 59 The White Barrier? Second Brother, watch closely, this is the Heaven-Slaying Spear Intent
Outside Xiqi City.
Hundreds of thousands of merchant soldiers lined up below the city, their banners fluttering in the wind.
Gu Xuan, clad in black armor, stood on horseback at the front of the formation, holding the Heaven-Shaking Spear upside down in one hand.
In the distance behind him, Yang Jian stood quietly, dressed in a silver robe.
Further on, the four demon generals each occupied a region, and the Xuanxian's magical power was fully contained, ready to be unleashed.
"A challenge."
Gu Xuan slightly raised his eyelids and spoke calmly.
"Yes, sir!"
A messenger rode out on horseback, channeling his magical power, and shouted loudly.
"Gu Xuan, the vanguard of the Shang Dynasty, requests the commander of Xiqi to leave the city and engage in battle!"
......
The walls of Xiqi City.
Jiang Ziya held the God-Slaying Whip in his hand, his face as calm and composed as still water.
Li Jing stood beside him, his knuckles white as he leaned against the cold battlements.
A pair of eyes burning with resentment stared coldly at the black-armored figure below the city.
"Uncle-Master, the Shang army has challenged us. Should we accept the challenge?"
Li Jing's voice was suppressed.
"No."
Jiang Ziya took a deep breath and shook his head.
"Go and order someone to hang up a truce sign."
"Uncle-Master!"
Li Jing suddenly turned his head.
His eyes were bloodshot, and his chest was heaving.
"That Gu Xuan—"
"Hang up the white flag."
Jiang Ziya repeated it again.
He didn't look at Li Jing and the others, but stared intently at the military formation outside the city.
"Senior Brother Yun Zhongzi and Senior Brother Qingxu will arrive soon."
"Before that, Xiqi cannot afford to lose a single soldier."
Li Jing gritted his teeth.
The five fingers holding the golden pagoda clenched tightly, making a "creaking" sound.
After a while.
The sound of a winch began.
Above the gate of Xiqi City, a huge "No War" sign slowly rose.
The heavy wooden sign swayed gently in the cold morning wind, exuding a strong sense of frustration.
On the battlefield between the two armies.
Gu Xuan glanced at the truce sign hanging high above.
I watched quietly for a moment.
Then...
He dismounted.
Then he turned his head away.
Looking at Yang Jian not far behind him, a faint smile appeared on his face.
Yang Jian was slightly taken aback when he saw that smile.
"Jiro."
Gu Xuan's voice was not loud.
It was as if he was only saying it to Yang Jian.
"Let's watch carefully."
"this--"
"That is the intent of the Heaven-Slaying Spear!"
The words fell.
"boom--!"
A deafening roar.
The ground beneath Gu Xuan's feet suddenly collapsed and sank.
An extremely tyrannical and terrifying power, seemingly capable of bursting the heavens and earth, poured out from his body.
Crimson gold patterns spread wildly and intertwined along his neck, arms, and chest, covering his entire body in an instant.
"Click-click-click—!"
A series of bone-crackling sounds rang out, sending chills down one's spine.
Muscles expand, tear, and reassemble under extreme force.
Ten zhang (approximately 33 meters).
Thirty zhang (approximately 33 meters).
Fifty feet.
"Boom—!!"
A hundred-foot-tall, crimson-gold Dharma body rose from the ground in the wilderness outside Xiqi City!
Thick clouds hung overhead, while Gu Xuan stood on the cracked earth.
Crimson-gold patterns covered his entire body like flowing lava, and his vital energy soared into the sky like smoke from a wolf's beacon.
Half the sky...
They were all dyed a captivating crimson gold color by this power.
In the distance, atop the city wall.
The Xiqi soldiers stood frozen in place, their necks craned upwards.
The massive army of Xiqi below the city appeared as tiny grains of sand and ants beneath the feet of the hundred-foot giant.
Even the walls of Xiqi—
They are not even as tall as the giant's knee.
"Law...Law of Heaven and Earth?!"
"This Gu Xuan, how dare he disregard the truce sign—"
Jiang Ziya's pupils suddenly contracted.
But the next second...
The words he hadn't finished speaking were swallowed back down.
The hundred-foot-tall crimson-gold Dharma body outside the city...
Moved.
They didn't smash the city walls, nor did they break down the city gates.
He was just—
They are practicing shooting.
"call--!"
First shot.
The jet-black spear, which had grown to over 120 feet in length, casually drew a crimson-gold arc in the air, obscuring the sky.
Even though the tip of the spear was still dozens of feet away from the city wall.
But that terrifying, overwhelming wind pressure had already swept over the city walls like a tsunami.
"Sizzle—"
The sturdy Xiqi banners were instantly torn into countless pieces.
Dozens of soldiers standing in the front row were swept away by the violent shockwave before they could even scream.
"boom--!"
The second shot.
The massive spearhead was not aimed at the city.
Instead, it pierced straight into the void outside the city.
However......
The Heaven-Slaying Spear Intent merely released a wisp of its power, yet it was like an invisible divine mountain, crushing down upon us.
"Buzz—Click!"
The protective formation of Xiqi City, which was said to be able to withstand a single blow from a Golden Immortal, let out a sharp and painful cry.
The surface of the array pattern was actually pressed into a clearly visible crack by the overflowing power.
"Thump—!!"
The third shot.
The butt of the Heaven-Shaking Spear slammed heavily onto the wilderness.
The earth began to crack wildly beneath the giant's feet.
The bottomless cracks, like a dense spider web, spread wildly all the way to the foundation of the Xiqi city wall.
The entire city of Xiqi trembled violently under this terrifying shock.
The soldiers on the city wall staggered and swayed, unable to even stand steadily.
"Gu Xuan—"
Jiang Ziya gripped the God-Slaying Whip tightly, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.
Gu Xuan wasn't actually challenging him.
This is a blatant coup!
A truce sign?
The "no war" sign is nothing but a joke!
Gu Xuan didn't attack the city at all; he was just "practicing martial arts" outside the city.
but--
If this trend continues...
In less than half an hour, the city's protective formation will be shattered by the aftershocks of the spear intent, and the foundation of the city walls will not last long either.
But even more fatal than the collapse of city defenses...
It's about morale.
Jiang Ziya's forehead veins bulged.
He looked at the Xiqi soldiers around him... his lips trembling uncontrollably.
The soldiers around him trembled uncontrollably, and the sound of weapons falling to the ground echoed one after another.
Some people slumped to the ground, their faces ashen.
Some people covered their ears, huddled in a corner at the base of the city wall, and trembled in despair.
Just then.
The fourth shot landed with a deafening roar.
The city's protective array trembled violently.
The crack on the battle surface widened rapidly, like a piece of ice about to break.
Jiang Ziya's pupils suddenly contracted.
"Uncle-Master!"
Li Jing's voice suddenly came from behind.
The voice was suppressed to the extreme, yet unusually calm.
"Let me go."
Jiang Ziya did not turn his head.
"If this continues, before he even breaches the city, the people inside will..."
"It collapsed on its own first."
Li Jing's voice was low, yet unusually calm.
"I'm not going to my death."
The fifth shot.
"boom--!"
The city's protective formation emitted a deafening explosion.
The array, which had originally emitted a soft glow, twisted violently, its light flickering erratically.
Jiang Ziya's body swayed violently, and he almost lost his balance from the shockwave.
"Uncle-Master!!" Li Jing shouted.
Jiang Ziya suddenly opened his eyes, a resolute glint in them.
He solemnly took a flag from his sleeve.
The flag is apricot-yellow in color and has an ancient and weathered texture.
The flag was densely covered with top-tier array patterns that he had personally laid out and that had been enhanced by the Jade Void Palace.
This was originally intended as a last resort for Xiqi to save its own life.
now......
But it's meant to be used on Gu Xuan!
Jiang Ziya slowly turned around and handed the magic weapon to Li Jing.
"To protect oneself when in distress."
He stared intently into Li Jing's bloodshot eyes and gave him his instructions, word by word.
"We must not fight."
"Nephew/Grandson—"
"You just need to trap him and wait for Senior Brother Yun Zhongzi and the others to arrive... that will solve the problem."
"Do you understand?!"
Li Jing reached out and took it, nodding vigorously.
"clear."
His voice was flat.
It was as calm as a stagnant pool.
Jiang Ziya couldn't help but glance at him again.
Without wasting a word, Li Jing turned around abruptly and strode towards the steps of the city wall.
Jiang Ziya watched him disappear little by little around the corner of the stairs.
Then, he subconsciously turned his head and glanced at the city wall.
The generals stood solemnly, all with pale faces and varied expressions.
But his gaze paused strangely for a moment as it swept over a certain spot.
like……
Someone is missing.
Jiang Ziya frowned deeply.
But there was simply no time for him to think it through.
He gripped the God-Slaying Whip tightly, stood on the edge of the battlements, and looked down at the city gate.
A dull winch sounded.
The gates of Xiqi slowly opened a crack.
Li Jing stepped over the threshold, facing the swirling sandstorm, and walked step by step into the wilderness.
With each step...
The pebbles beneath their feet crumbled silently.
Fifty steps later...
Li Jing stopped.
He slowly raised his head.
The crimson golden body, which blots out the sky, stands majestically before me.
A fierce wind pressed down from a hundred feet in the sky, making his battle robe flutter loudly.
He holds a tower in his left hand and a flag in his right.
Beneath this hundred-foot-tall Dharma body, one is as insignificant as a speck of dust.

Just then.
The fourth shot landed with a deafening roar.
The city's protective array trembled violently.
The crack on the battle surface widened rapidly, like a piece of ice about to break.
Jiang Ziya's pupils suddenly contracted.
"Uncle-Master!"
Li Jing's voice suddenly came from behind.
The voice was suppressed to the extreme, yet unusually calm.
"Let me go."
Jiang Ziya did not turn his head.
"If this continues, before he even breaches the city, the people inside will..."
"It collapsed on its own first."
Li Jing's voice was low, yet unusually calm.
"I'm not going to my death."
The fifth shot.
"boom--!"
The city's protective formation emitted a deafening explosion.
The array, which had originally emitted a soft glow, twisted violently, its light flickering erratically.
Jiang Ziya's body swayed violently, and he almost lost his balance from the shockwave.
"Uncle-Master!!" Li Jing shouted.
Jiang Ziya suddenly opened his eyes, a resolute glint in them.
He solemnly took a flag from his sleeve.
The flag is apricot-yellow in color and has an ancient and weathered texture.
The flag was densely covered with top-tier array patterns that he had personally laid out and that had been enhanced by the Jade Void Palace.
This was originally intended as a last resort for Xiqi to save its own life.
now......
But it's meant to be used on Gu Xuan!
Jiang Ziya slowly turned around and handed the magic weapon to Li Jing.
"To protect oneself when in distress."
He stared intently into Li Jing's bloodshot eyes and gave him his instructions, word by word.
"We must not fight."
"Nephew/Grandson—"
"You just need to trap him and wait for Senior Brother Yun Zhongzi and the others to arrive... that will solve the problem."
"Do you understand?!"
Li Jing reached out and took it, nodding vigorously.
"clear."
His voice was flat.
It was as calm as a stagnant pool.
Jiang Ziya couldn't help but glance at him again.
Without wasting a word, Li Jing turned around abruptly and strode towards the steps of the city wall.
Jiang Ziya watched him disappear little by little around the corner of the stairs.
Then, he subconsciously turned his head and glanced at the city wall.
The generals stood solemnly, all with pale faces and varied expressions.
But his gaze paused strangely for a moment as it swept over a certain spot.
like……
Someone is missing.
Jiang Ziya frowned deeply.
But there was simply no time for him to think it through.
He gripped the God-Slaying Whip tightly, stood on the edge of the battlements, and looked down at the city gate.
A dull winch sounded.
The gates of Xiqi slowly opened a crack.
Li Jing stepped over the threshold, facing the swirling sandstorm, and walked step by step into the wilderness.
With each step...
The pebbles beneath their feet crumbled silently.
Fifty steps later...
Li Jing stopped.
He slowly raised his head.
The crimson golden body, which blots out the sky, stands majestically before me.
A fierce wind pressed down from a hundred feet in the sky, making his battle robe flutter loudly.
He holds a tower in his left hand and a flag in his right.
Beneath this hundred-foot-tall Dharma body, one is as insignificant as a speck of dust.
He looked at the Xiqi soldiers around him... his lips trembling uncontrollably.
The soldiers around him trembled uncontrollably, and the sound of weapons falling to the ground echoed one after another.
Some people slumped to the ground, their faces ashen.
Some people covered their ears, huddled in a corner at the base of the city wall, and trembled in despair.
