Villain Cultivator (Web Novel)

The auction theatre was in chaos after the cannonball had crushed the audience on the first floor into meat paste. Everyone rushed to the exit as if their lives were depending on it.

On the other hand, people on the upper floors were calmer. Some of them simply climbed the window and leaped out of the building while the capable ones destroyed the walls to make private emergency exit doors.

Yet, everyone on the fifth floor, except for Liu Bian ’s group who had left before the afternoon session, remained on their seats. As the nascent soul expert hadn ’t moved, their subordinates couldn ’t go anywhere.

Xu Lanying, Sun Wentai, Zhang Junyi, Zhao Bao, and Xia Dun activated their domain power to check the situation outside the building.

As soon as they had expanded their senses, their domains collided with each other. However, they ignored the other nascent soul ’s power and scanned the surroundings.

It didn ’t take long for them to find out what had happened outside.

Yet, even after they had learned about the general situation, they didn ’t move. These nascent soul cultivators simply contacted their subordinates and guards from outside the city to prepare their airships.

At the same time, they didn ’t stop looking at the auction stage. Their eyes gleamed in a strange light.

…

The bombardment got more intense.

A dozen flying carrack warships unleashed their spirit cannons at the barrier dome. Each cannonball worked differently, depending on the shell types.

Most of the cannonballs contained the power of metal element Qi, giving them more penetration power. Some other shells, instead, were fueled with fire element Qi, and they acted as incendiary shells.

These cannonballs were specially made for siege warfare, and they worked well against a large city defensive array or a spell formation array. Unless the defenders were rich enough to maintain the barrier shields by spending a thousand of essence cores, no defending city could last long against Liu Bian ’s cannon bombardment.

Still, those were the only basic shells that Liu Bian had prepared for every general situation. Liu Bian hadn ’t come here without a trump card as several cannons on the prince ’s flagship were loaded with dark shells and green shells, which hadn ’t been fired toward the city yet.

Liu Bian and Head Eunuch Rang were standing on their flagship, gazing at the hexagon dome. There were a thousand basic shells on each warship, and they had only fired less than 50 shells. Yet, the barrier had already shown a sign of breaking.

At this rate, the city ’s shield would be destroyed soon.

”Zhang Rang, ” Liu Bian called Head Eunuch Rang by his real name. ”Can you fight your fellow clansman? ”

[Zhang Rang] laughed, ”Oh, this old eunuch has almost forgotten about that sissy. Well, I don ’t care if I have to kill Zhang Junyi. I don ’t have anything to do with the Zhang Clan anymore. ”
