The ranks of sergeants, majors, lieutenant colonels, and colonels, followed by their troops, arrived in succession. Soon, the scene escalated to white-hot intensity, reaching "Ten Thousand Battles!" (a battlefield of ten thousand).
Mingzhi Tian's purpose here was not to destroy the world. If it were, everyone below the high altitude would be dead in an instant.
Mingzhi Tian crushed space with his bare hands, causing the magnetic field to fluctuate wildly. All drones were disturbed by the scrambled magnetic field and fell one by one, crashing into dozens of pieces of machinery and rendering them scrap. The casualties among personnel were minimal.
"Not good! The enemy is actually an immortal cultivator!"
"Oh?" Mingzhi Tian blinked in surprise. "You know about immortal cultivators? It seems this Immortal City is quite formidable."
At least a hundred times stronger than the Demon City.
"Retreat!"
Tens of thousands of soldiers retreated one after another. Mingzhi Tian was puzzled, wondering what grand scheme they were trying to unveil.
Suddenly, Mingzhi Tian felt a prickle of dread. A cosmic infinite tracking nuclear cannon was rapidly pushed into position!
They had already taken cover in an air-raid shelter and suddenly opened fire!
The powerful firepower directly shattered the space-time magnetic field! It fired towards Mingzhi Tian at a speed of one thousand per second!
A range of five thousand kilometers turned to dust!
Mingzhi Tian was aghast. Such destructive power, achieved at the cost of injuring a thousand to defeat eight hundred, was truly unadvisable.
When the dust settled and the heat waves continued to roll, Mingzhi Tian was still there, unharmed. This was because he had already activated his Immortal Eye and retreated into the Gate of Time and Space. Of course, in their eyes, Mingzhi Tian was an immortal monster!
Mingzhi Tian raised his voice, "My name is Qiong Chi. I have no ill intentions. Please send your leader to speak with me."
"Whoosh!"
A man in yellow with a golden belt and white pants floated in the air. "My name is Chen Du, known as the Human King. Who are you?"
Didn't I just say my name was Qiong Chi? Mingzhi Tian repeated, "I am not looking for you."
Chen Du narrowed his eyes. "If you want to meet the highest authority of our Immortal City, you must first get past me, the Human King, Chen Du!"
Mingzhi Tian smiled faintly. "Very well, I shall offer you two pointers."
Feeling belittled, Chen Du unleashed a punch that tore through the air, "Thousand Blades!"
Mingzhi Tian extended a finger and instantly dissolved his technique into nothingness. He then followed up with a punch that struck Chen Du.
"Bang!"
He was sent crashing heavily into a deep pit.
The onlookers exchanged bewildered glances. "This!..."
"Are you kidding me? The strongest Human King of the city was defeated with a single punch?"
The Human King, Chen Du, crawled out of the pit. He knew that Mingzhi Tian could have killed him with a single blow, so why did he hold back?
He clasped his hands in a bow. "Your Excellency spared me, what is the meaning of this? And... could it be that what you just used was the Fantian Finger?"
"Oh?" Mingzhi Tian asked, "You know it?"
Having been publicly humiliated, Chen Du forced a smile. "Please follow me, Your Excellency. Chen Du will take you to see Steward Bai."
The highest building in the Immortal City, the Cosmic Tower.
Bai Lingfa sat before his computer, his brow furrowed in deep thought.
He could see everything happening outside, and Chen Du was bringing Mingzhi Tian this way.
Shi Shu Chang Qi, a demure young lady, adjusted her delicate glasses. "Steward, should we deploy the ultimate weapon..."
Bai Lingfa interrupted her. "Our guest has arrived. We will decide after we assess the situation."
Qi Guai nodded respectfully. "Yes."
Soon, the space gate opened, and Chen Du brought Mingzhi Tian inside. Mingzhi Tian spoke first, as if he were in his own home. "Wow, you are all so nervous. I had barely set foot in the Immortal City, and you mobilized all your forces to kill me. Airplanes, tanks, cannons, and even nuclear weapons! You are truly something. I applaud you."
"Clap, clap, clap."
The three remained silent. "..."
