Chapter 2155 - 2148: Time to Start Showing Off

No one knew how the others spent these two days, but Zhang Menglong certainly didn’t care about the Qinglan Kingdom’s affairs.

Of course, to prevent them from carrying a huge grudge and harming innocent citizens in a fit of rage, Zhang Menglong still instructed Gou Dan to expand the scan feedback to cover the entire Imperial City. They surely wouldn’t massacre innocent citizens, right?

However, both Zhang Menglong and the Emperor gravely underestimated King Zhenshan’s temper and misjudged their true purpose; they weren’t here to demand justice but rather to wreak havoc directly!

"Self-drawn! Haha, Your Majesty, you lost again, pay up, pay up!" These days, Zhang Menglong had taught the Emperor, Empress, and Princess to play Mahjong. The Empress, a manager of the inner palace, quickly promoted this national pastime. The entire inner palace was filled with the clattering sounds of Mahjong during this period.

The Emperor was previously quite addicted to this activity, but lately, he didn’t quite feel like it. During today’s Mahjong game, he let off several tiles to Zhang Menglong in succession.

"Forget it, go find another player; I really am not in the mood." The Emperor stood up.

"Then I’ll find a concubine to join," the Empress was still eager, not caring who the fourth player was, as long as there were four people.

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!" At this moment, Xiwat rushed in hurriedly.

"Have they arrived?" The Emperor’s heart trembled suddenly. Calculating the time, a Kun day has passed, and the people from King Zhenshan’s residence could be expected to have arrived.

"Not yet," Xiwat said, "but they have already reached the Mansha Kingdom, and just now, they destroyed one of our cities!"

"What did you say?" The Emperor’s expression turned furious, "Quick, show me what’s exactly happening!"

Xiwat immediately opened the hologram of the city. At this moment, everyone only felt an intense anger and even a murderous aura!

This city was a necessary stop from Qinglan Kingdom to Mansha Kingdom. It’s not a key route, but it has a large population, with a total of 3 billion residents!

Its area is almost comparable to two or three times the size of a continent on Earth, considered one of the large cities in Mansha Kingdom.

But at this moment, the city looked as if it had just experienced an earthquake, becoming a scene of ruins, with all large buildings transformed into broken fragments and even some visible severed limbs.

The sound of the howling wind mixed with cries and curses, like a human Purgatory.

"What happened here? Was this done by people from Qinglan Kingdom?" The Emperor tightly clenched his fists, his nails even deeply embedded into his flesh; they actually ruined one of their cities for a bit of face!

"Just recently, two Transcenders attacked the city without any warning or saying a word; they just started their actions, and I even lost a subordinate of Transcender level," Xiwat’s face was ashen. "The city’s management system has preliminarily completed the statistics; the city’s damage rate is over 60%, while the death toll is around 2 billion, not even counting those seriously or lightly injured!"

Shadeer heard these numbers, and tears immediately flowed down her cheeks.

If not for her willfulness in wanting to annul the marriage contract, how could this city suffer such a catastrophic disaster? This was all her fault!

"Where are those two people?"

"They’ve already headed toward the direction of the capital, but it’s uncertain whether they’ll massacre other cities before arriving; this should just be a warning or a demonstration!"

"They are simply animals!" The Emperor was no longer his usual refined self, "Even if it’s a demonstration, why target ordinary citizens? This is treating human lives cruelly!"

"I haven’t been thorough in my considerations," Zhang Menglong was also quite remorseful; if he had known beforehand about their beastly actions, Zhang Menglong could have completed some defensive measures in the preceding two days, thus preventing such massive losses.

With his current abilities, he couldn’t revive 2 billion people!

"Since I can’t revive you, I’ll avenge you!" Zhang Menglong secretly decided in his heart.

This incident also made him fully aware that this world is like any other; despite superficial peace, hidden within is the jungle law—survival of the fittest, winner takes all; these are eternal truths.

[Dean, they’ve arrived!]

At this moment, Gou Dan’s detector showed extremely powerful energy reactions. People from Qinglan Kingdom had arrived!

"Emperor of Mansha Kingdom, get out and see me quickly!" A voice, incomparably loud and red, reverberated above the entire palace, even alarming the surrounding ordinary residents.

Just moments ago, many people had lost contact with their relatives in the destroyed city, and some survivors brought back news: the perpetrators of these atrocities were exactly the two people now hovering in the sky!

"Let’s go!"

The Emperor directly led everyone from the palace to the square outside the main hall.

These were two people whose mere appearance exuded an overwhelmingly unruly aura; one was somewhat fat, and the other somewhat lean, but both emanated a profound and immeasurable presence.

"Are you the Emperor of Mansha Kingdom?"

"Are you folks from King Zhenshan’s house?" The Emperor directly questioned, "You destroyed my city in Mansha Kingdom, slaughtered billions of my citizens; shouldn’t there be an explanation for this?"

"Hmm?" The two Transcenders exchanged glances, seemingly finding this statement amusing. "Emperor of Mansha Kingdom, are you here to demand justice from us?"

"Emperor, you annulled the marriage contract, and still dare ask us for an explanation? Your Mansha Kingdom certainly has some audacity!"

"Destroying one of your cities was just a slight warning; not directly annihilating your whole country is already quite merciful!"

"I dare not demand justice, but the lives of people from my Mansha Kingdom cannot be lost in vain!" The Emperor’s voice remained strong and firm.

"Oh? Then how do you plan to handle this?" The two looked at the Emperor with a mocking gaze.

"You’re just a small Mansha Kingdom without any decent Transcenders; do you intend to sanction us perhaps?"

"Third Brother, it seems that our methods were still too merciful; this Emperor actually dares to demand justice from us."

"In that case, I think this palace should also be dispensed with!"

The Transcender, called Third Brother, manifested a handprint composed of data-like energy particles in his hand. The energy particles formed some sort of special inter-linkage and suddenly began expanding, forming a gigantic energy seal over ten meters in length!

This energy handprint contained power far surpassing nuclear weapons; even the surrounding air was suffused with an impending explosive terrifying force.

"That one move!" General Xiwat commented, according to the transmitted images from that time, that Transcender’s palm directly leveled the entire city; such is the terror of a Tier-4 Peak Transcender.

If this palm directly struck the capital, the entire Imperial City would momentarily turn to ruins, and the whole capital could suffer a catastrophic disaster!

This group wasn’t here to offer any explanations; they were here to kill!

"Is that it?" Zhang Menglong stepped forward, "Everyone, please step aside, I’m about to show off now!"
