Urban Wolf King

Chapter 1299 1210: Bounty on Nanyang County

Upon hearing the deafening noise outside, Fang Jinchun and the others all turned pale.

Chen Si also shouted in panic, "It's bad, it's really bad, they're here."

Although Chen Si's expression was one of panic, the corners of his eyes couldn't hide his secret delight.

Wang Yan swept his gaze over Chen Si, seemingly oblivious to his smugness, and said calmly, "Let's go out and take a look."

Having said that, Wang Yan stepped out of the palace, followed quickly by Fang Jinchun and the others.

Standing atop the city gate, they looked down to see dust billowing in the distance, like an endless army charging towards Yunmeng County.

The sound of the army's footsteps was earth-shattering, as if countless beasts were rushing in.

And among this army, ten powerful auras rose unabashedly, soaring into the sky.

Fang Jinchun's eyes narrowed as he exclaimed, "There really are ten Demon Venerables!"

At this moment, Fang Jinchun was only at the Demon Saint Great Perfection, Beiming Xue had just broken through to Demon Saint, and the others, Hu Wei and Ma Jun, were only Demon Emperors.

In their eyes, a Demon Venerable was regarded as a Celestial Being.

Seeing ten Demon Venerables appear simultaneously, and all of them being enemies, the four couldn't help but feel a bit panicked.

Ji Congjing also shouted in fear, "Sir, let's activate the City Defense Array first."

Before Wang Yan could respond, Ji Congjing had already rushed down the city wall in confusion, immediately ordering his Demon Cultivators to open the City Defense Array.

After Wang Yan defeated Meng Ao, Meng Ao's former confidants fled, leaving Yunmeng County with very few Demon Cultivators, and at this moment, only some of Ji Congjing's loyal followers were left, trembling in fear.

Under Ji Congjing's urging, these Demon Cultivators, with shaky hands, managed to open the City Defense Array.

After opening the array, Ji Congjing felt slightly relieved.

However, although the array was sturdy, if the ten Demon Venerables attacked simultaneously, it was uncertain how long it could hold.

For a moment, Ji Congjing returned to Wang Yan's side in apprehension.

At this time, the distant army had already reached the gate and stopped.

Outside the entire Yunmeng County, a vast sea of darkness loomed, indeed an army of a million.

This million-strong army wore uniform attire, clad in gray armor, holding long spears, with red tassels atop the spears fluttering in the wind.

The million soldiers were expressionless, with gray eyes that occasionally rotated.

Seeing this, Beiming Xue exclaimed, "Could these really be Terracotta Warriors? There are so many!"

Wang Yan smiled slightly and said, "Indeed, but they're just useless Soldier Terracotta Warriors."

Although Wang Yan spoke dismissively, he knew in his heart that what lay ahead was a great tribulation.

Facing the ten Demon Venerables, aside from Meng Ao, there was even a High-tier Demon Venerable; just these two High-tier Demon Venerables were already difficult for Wang Yan to handle.

Not to mention the remaining eight Demon Venerables, with three of them being Mid-Tier.

Even without these ten Demon Venerables, just facing a million Terracotta Warriors, Wang Yan would need to put in a full effort.

Thus, from any perspective, the odds of victory for Wang Yan in this battle were null.

If Wang Yan were alone, he might have a chance to escape defeat, but with Fang Jinchun and the other four behind him, he couldn't protect them all.

Thinking this over and over, Wang Yan could not devise a foolproof strategy.

At this moment, Meng Ao was seen commanding the million Terracotta Warriors, seemingly preparing to break the City Defense Array of Yunmeng County.

Seeing this, Wang Yan focused his gaze sharply, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

Victory or defeat lay in a single thought.

Initially being merely at the Demon Saint level, facing a million Blazing Flame Flood Dragons, he could still retreat unscathed; now, with the strength of a Demon Venerable, what was there to fear?

Thinking this, Wang Yan couldn't help but laugh heartily and proclaimed loudly, "I thought it was a million Demon Cultivators, but they're just a million Terracotta Warriors. Governor Ji, open the City Defense Array; mere Terracotta Warriors, we don't need to defend."

Having heard Wang Yan's words, Meng Ao, who was setting up for the siege, paused, looking somewhat puzzled at Wang Yan atop the city wall.

Even Ji Congjing, standing beside Wang Yan, was startled, turning to look at Wang Yan in confusion and fear, questioning, "Sir, you're saying to open the array?"

Wang Yan nodded, saying lightly, "Open it."

Though Ji Congjing was confused at heart, he did not dare to disobey Wang Yan. Under anxiety, he immediately ordered the opening of the array.

Seeing Wang Yan actually open the array, Meng Ao was stunned, and the other nine Demon Venerables were taken aback as well, hesitating in their hearts.

Could it be that the Wolf King before them was truly confident enough to defeat the ten Demon Venerables and the million Terracotta Warriors?

Seeing Meng Ao and the others hesitate, Wang Yan's heart relaxed, thinking: Just this move scared you, didn't it? This is called 'Empty City Strategy.' But this Empty City Strategy was from a thousand years after the Qin Dynasty, I suppose you haven't heard of it.

Thinking this, Wang Yan's Heart Spirit soared to great heights, feeling akin to Kongming's proud stance of repelling armies with a solitary zither, and a spirit of confidence surged within.

Kongming, with only scholarly writings, could repel Sima Yi's million-strong troops, what was there to fear now, having reached the Demon Venerable level?

Wang Yan took a step forward, looked down towards Yunmeng County, and said coldly, "Just a mere million Terracotta Warriors, do you have the audacity to flaunt them?"

Hearing Wang Yan's words, the ten Demon Venerables hesitated even more.

Initially, the ten Demon Venerables could have put the Terracotta Warriors in their Storage Bags, but to intimidate Wang Yan, they had taken out the million Terracotta Warriors, hoping to scare him with momentum.

Unexpectedly, Wang Yan seemed completely unfazed by the million Terracotta Warriors.

However, within the Great Qin Empire, a million Terracotta Warriors were no minor force; even the Twelve Great Generals did not possess so many Terracotta Warriors.

Originally, the ten Demon Venerables thought they would win unequivocally with ten against one, assisted by a million Terracotta Warriors,.

But now, Wang Yan's imposing presence immediately created an illusion among the Demon Venerables, as if they were the weaker side.

Except for the three Demon Venerables of Meng Ao's lineage, the other seven were hesitating, doubting whether their decision to join Meng Ao's invitation and wade into these troubled waters was the right one.

Seeing the Demon Venerables show reluctance, Meng Ao hurriedly said, "Seven friends, I promised each of you before, whoever kills the Wolf King, I will willingly offer Nanyang County. The opportunity is right before you, who would like to assist me in killing this man?"

There are always brave ones under heavy rewards.

At this moment, an old man with a white beard coldly said, "Meng Ao, have you lost your mind? A mere Initial Tier Demon Venerable warrants such an uproar? This Nanyang County is mine."

The speaking elder was none other than the other High-tier Demon Venerable besides Meng Ao.
