Chapter 2158 - 2151: I Have Already Been Merciful

"Anybody dares to challenge us in Silicon Port now? Don’t they know our air defenses are too formidable for the average Transcender to withstand?"

"Exactly. Remember the third-tier Transcender who broke out of prison? He didn’t even get the chance to escape before being shot to pieces. I bet this guy will end up the same way."

"Everyone, disperse! Get back to work!"

Despite Zhang Menglong being engulfed by gunfire in the sky, everyone maintained a dismissive attitude. They had never imagined that the person challenging their Mountain King was someone beyond his match.

Just then, suddenly, a lightning-like energy burst from the focal point of the barrage, sweeping across the entire city.

In an instant, all electronic devices ceased functioning. Communication was interrupted, connections severed, even the weapons pouring fire on Zhang Menglong halted their assault. Vehicles on the streets stopped, lights in the buildings dimmed—the whole city plunged into darkness.

But amid the darkness, there was a single gleaming dot of light. Zhang Menglong remained unharmed, hovering in mid-air. The formidable anti-aircraft barrage had not affected him in the slightest; not even a speck of dust or gunpowder stained his clothes.

He held a silver hammer in his hand, which continuously emitted electromagnetic waves that disrupted the entire city, plunging it into paralysis.

"Where are the Transcenders? Where are the Transcenders in this city?"

The city’s inhabitants seemed unaware of the current situation, confident that a powerful invader had indeed attacked. However, they believed that once their Transcenders appeared, they would resolve the crisis. No one opted to retreat to the underground shelters just yet.

"You have five minutes left!" Zhang Menglong reminded. If not compelled, he certainly didn’t wish to kill so many people. Killing civilians would make him no different from the Mountain King’s henchmen.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Several figures cut through the air—the city’s Transcenders finally appeared!

Cheers erupted from the ground upon seeing these figures.

They encircled Zhang Menglong, able to sense the strength of the young man before them, unlike the ordinary civilians.

"What are you doing in Silicon Port, sir?" questioned a third-tier Transcender, "Do you realize this is the Mountain King’s domain?"

"I’m here to give your Mountain King a hard time," Zhang Menglong replied. "Your Mountain King destroyed one of my cities, killing three billion of my people. I’m simply seeking some retribution."

"What kind of retribution do you seek? I can inform the Mountain King..."

"There’s no need!" Zhang Menglong said. "My retribution is an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. You destroyed one of my cities; I will destroy ten of yours. You have three minutes to evacuate the city’s people to shelters."

Zhang Menglong continued to watch the countdown. He had no intention of negotiating with the Mountain King. Truthfully, he came for revenge—why say more? Could a simple apology from the Mountain King suffice? Besides, he believed someone like the Mountain King would never apologize!

"Destroy ten of our cities? Surely you don’t think Silicon Port is easy prey!"

"Isn’t it?" Zhang Menglong retorted bluntly. "Or are you, among the worthless bunch, planning to stop me?"

"Worthless bunch..." The Transcenders were infuriated. For the first time, they had been called worthless.

Silicon City boasted dozens of Transcenders, the strongest even reaching the peak of the third tier. Even a fourth-tier peak Transcender would think twice before confronting them.

"Are you unaware that I’ve already killed two of your Mountain King’s chief commanders?"

"What did you say?" The Transcenders of Silicon Port’s expressions changed. If this were true, they might not be a match for this young man, even combining their efforts.

"Every debt has its origin. I don’t wish to kill innocents. You’re already lucky I’m letting you off!" Zhang Menglong raised his voice slightly. Even just a single wave forced them back half a step!

"Please don’t be rash, sir. We can talk this through. We can ensure the Mountain King gives you a satisfactory outcome!" The sheer force of his voice confirmed for them that Zhang Menglong’s words were likely true. If even a shout held such power, what extent would his true strength reach?

Silicon Port was crucial to the Mountain King’s territory. Destruction here would devastate commerce and energy supply across many areas. Silicon Port must not be destroyed!

"I said I’m not here for negotiation today. Even if there’s negotiation, it’ll be after I’ve destroyed ten cities!"

Zhang Menglong slowly raised his hand as a violent, purple energy began to form in his palm, "One minute left!"

"Quick! Notify everyone to retreat to the underground shelter city!"

With the advancement of technology, urban construction had become highly sophisticated. Underground shelters beneath skyscrapers had become standard practice, allowing even ordinary people to access them directly via elevators.

"Everyone in Silicon Port, retreat to the shelters immediately! Retreat immediately!"

This voice instantly resounded over the city!

At this moment, Silicon Port’s residents truly realized that they were facing an unsolvable crisis! Chaos erupted instantly—fighting, trampling, and other actions immediately caused severe casualties, revealing the darkest side of human nature.

The ten minutes Zhang Menglong provided would have been enough for most to complete their evacuation preparations immediately. However, their arrogance squandered Zhang Menglong’s goodwill.

"Time’s up!"

The energy in Zhang Menglong’s hand reached its peak, and then, like a machine gun, it madly launched Energy Spheres in all directions!

"Intercept those attacks!" All the Transcenders in Silicon Port were panicking. They could clearly sense the terrifying power contained in each Energy Bullet. Given Silicon Port’s building strength, even one could flatten a one-kilometer radius!

In moments, with tens of thousands of attacks, the entire Silicon Port would become a wasteland.

They fought desperately to intercept the attacks, but each one of them was as powerful as a full-force strike. Despite giving their all, they managed to block only a few Energy Bullets, while 99.99% easily bypassed them, hitting the city they were defending!

"Explode!" Zhang Menglong’s lips moved slightly, and the entire city vanished amidst a dazzling warfire.

Zhang Menglong hadn’t used his full strength because if he had exerted slightly more power, even the underground shelters would have been defenseless. Despite this, almost the entire city was reduced to ruins.

Only after the sound of explosions overhead faded did the residents emerge from the shelters, witnessing a devastated city filled with flames and smoke. The person who destroyed the city was nowhere to be found.

"What strength!" The Transcenders also emerged from the ruins, realizing that his vow to destroy ten cities wasn’t merely empty talk. This must be reported to the Mountain King immediately!
