Chapter 2468: A Cloud-Piercing Arrow Brings Forth an Encounter With a Thousand Soldiers!

“Ocean races’ king?” Zu An laughed. That would have been a decent offer for most people, but there was no reason for him to be interested in becoming a mere Ocean races’ king. After all, he was the king of the world!

He smiled at the Incestuous King and retorted, “Why don’t you defect to my side instead? I’ll help you become the Monster Lord. You must be dissatisfied, having to lower your head to the Monster Lord.”

Mojard was startled. He hadn’t expected Zu An to return those words to him, and in truth those words struck a chord in his heart. In recent years, their master had been showing favoritism to the Monster Lord. When their master went into closed-door training, the Monster Lord had started purging those opposed to him and planted his aides in important positions. 

In truth, Mojard had come to the Ocean races to avoid the Monster Lord. He was hoping to bring the Ocean races under his control so he could compete with the Monster Lord in the future.  He had never voiced such thoughts aloud, so no one should have known about his intention. How had this man learned about it?

There was no way Mojard would admit to it in front of so many people, especially since the Monster Lord was currently at the peak of his influence, so he sneered, “Since you refuse to listen to reason, you shouldn’t blame me for not showing mercy.”

With a wave of his hand, countless monsters rushed in and encircled Zu An and the others. They pushed in large artifact cannons that clearly boasted tremendous firepower at a glance. These cannons seemed designed to be used on huge armies, and it seemed like massive overkill deploying them for a mere ten people. This showed how much of a threat the monsters viewed Zu An as. 

Knowing he had the advantage here, Mojard smiled. “You’re indeed powerful, but there’s only so much you can do alone. Against an army, your only fate is to die.”

He had been secretly using the Aurora Poison Dragon to drive a wedge between the Ocean races and the Fiend races while discreetly deploying his core army here to support him. He hadn’t gone all out in his previous clash with Zu An, but he was still wary of the latter, which was why he'd made thorough preparations this time.

The tight encirclement of the monster army caused the Mermaid Queen and the Peacock Princess to tense up. With most of the Ocean races’ experts bedridden, there was very little they could do against such a huge army. As members of their respective races’ upper echelons, they understood the cruelty of war. No matter how strong an individual was, soldiers could use all kinds of formations to neutralize their attacks. An individual couldn't hope to defy an entire army. 

Their bitter expressions further stoked Mojard’s glee. “This is your last chance. You might be able to last a while against my army, but the same can’t be said about your companions. Can you bear to see your lovers die like that?”

Seeing how the Incestuous King was trying to divide them even during a time like this, the Mermaid Queen turned to Zu An and said, “I’ll stand by your decision. Don’t listen to that scum.”

The Peacock Princess said in agreement, “Me too!”

Seeing the conviction in their eyes, Zu An smiled. “The situation isn’t that bad yet.”

The two women were confused. With things having gotten to this point, what tricks do you have to turn things around?

Zu An turned to Mojard and said, “You have an army; however, I have an army too.”

He took out the Valkyrie Tear. It had been placed on a military seal that allowed him to mobilize the asura army. To thank him for saving the Asura race, the Asura King and his little sister had given him this seal and taught him how to use it. 

A cloud-piercing arrow brings forth an encounter with a thousand soldiers!

Zu An murmured obscure words that caused the military seal to light up. The surroundings began to quake. 

“Be careful!” Sensing the massive spatial turbulence in the surroundings, Mojard ordered his soldiers to remain vigilant.

Countless figures suddenly appeared behind Zu An, accompanied by an occasional elephant roar. 

Everyone present rubbed their eyes in disbelief. They hadn’t expected such a terrifying army to appear out of thin air. The soldiers had three heads and six arms, making them look fearsome. However, their leader, seated atop a white elephant, was a beautiful woman dressed in revealing clothes.

The woman leaped down from the white elephant and descended to Zu An’s side. She grabbed Zu An’s arm with a radiant smile. “Big brother Necropolis, I didn’t expect to meet you again so soon!”

The Mermaid Queen was startled by how intimate they were. This must be Princess Ni Huang. She’s beautiful. No wonder he avoided answering my question. Their closeness also suggests that there might be more to their relationship.

But when she thought about how the other party called Zu An ‘big brother Necropolis’, she couldn’t help but smile in triumph. Looks like he didn’t reveal his true identity to her. I’m still ahead of her in the race. 

The Peacock Princess was taken aback too. How did big brother hook up with a princess when he was only down there for a few days? Isn’t big sis queen angry? Why is she smiling?

The Xuan-Su Guards stared at the Peacock Princess in astonishment. Why is our princess not angry when another woman hugs the man she fancies?

Zu An smoothly retracted his arm from her grasp and said, “My apologies for bothering you so soon, princess.”

“Your problem is our Asura race’s problem. Besides, there's nothing we like more than war. Only through endless war can we become stronger!” Princess Ni Huang quickly grasped the situation by surveying the surroundings.

Her eyes soon fell on the Peacock Princess and the Mermaid Queen. 

The first one is beautiful, but she’s still too young. The other one, though, is in her prime, and I can tell she is interested in big brother Necropolis. 

Princess Ni Huang was thinking of having Zu An introduce those two women when she suddenly heard hearty laughter not too far away. Ox Head, Horse Face, Golden Cangue, and Silver Chain had arrived with their shaman army to encircle the monster army.

Those from the Ocean races were stunned to see the shaman army. They were reminded of the battle they'd fought at the Eye of the Ocean.

“Don’t worry, they're my friends now,” Zu An said.

The word ‘friends’ brought smiles onto the faces of Ox Head and Horse Face. “Indeed, we are good friends now. Anyone who bullies our friend will get it!”

Ox Head slammed his massive axe onto the floor, jolting open a massive crevice over thousands of meters long. They had tagged along because they were worried the Asura race would win over Zu An and convince him to turn against the Shaman races. They thought it would be good to have Zu An owe them a favor now.  

This put Mojard in a tough spot. His face looked as if he'd smelled something foul. The upper hand should have been his, but in the blink of an eye, he was suddenly the one encircled here.
