"I will make sure to group our Jie Clan to slaughter everyone from the Seven Star County! Liang Tian, how dare you attack our Jie Clan!" Jie Hu bellowed loudly to vents his anger.
"How dare I attack you? It is funny that you dare to speak this word, especially when you're one of the instigators of the attack on me in our meeting, grouping up with the Lan Shan Clan to attack our Sect, and tried to attack us together with the Upper South Merchant Corporation," Liang Tian replied.
"I am merely repaying you for your kindness. Don't feel bad at all, because now, I am no longer representing the Seven Star Sect's Liang Tian, but Seven Star Master Hall's Grand Elder! You messed with Master Hall, and this is our reply!" Liang Tian added. As he finishes with his words, a Sword with seven gemstones embedded on its blade came out from his Spatial Ring.
"Seven Gem Brilliance, appease your thirst with the blood from this opponent!" the seven gemstones embedded on the blade flashed in the eagerness with the edge of the blade get sharpened with the air.
"Formation of Seven Star!" Liang Tian executed his attack with the first swing. This attack alone cut apart the air between before him to carry his physical body closer to Jie Hu.
The opponent resisted with his own Tiger Fang Mace, but when the two weapons clashed with each another, a deafening ring vibrates in the ears of everyone present. Some weaker residents staying at the side of the Tiger City even have their eardrum injured to the point of bleeding.
"That's a 4th-Grade Material Weapon! Liang Tian, where did you get that weapon from?" Jie Hu cannot believe his opponent are capable of possessing a weapon made from 4th-Grade Material. Even himself, as the City Lord, only wield a 3rd-Grade Golden Weapon.
"Hahaha, do you even need to ask? Of course, this weapon comes from the Lower South State! I've spent my entire fortune kept for twenty years to purchase this 4th-Grade Weapon from the Blacksmithing Hall!" Liang Tian is happy with the performance from his weapon.
If it's not because of Second Prince and the combination disturbance from Upper South Merchant Corporation and Jie Clan, the resistance against Lanshan Lanyue will be resolve if he took out this weapon.
Even Lanshan Lanyue himself only possessing a lowest grade 2nd-Grade Weapon in their fight! How can he fight against Liang Tian if his condition allows him to use this 4th-Grade Weapon?
"Hey, don't forget about us!" Yang Yi, Yang Er, and Beiping Ruolan join the fight, each with a weapon of the top 2nd-Grade. With the production of the Seven Star County, it is impossible for their Peak Cultivators to not using the 2nd-Grade weapon!
"I will not lose to all of you! Tiger Fang Mace, take my blood and defeat my enemies!" Jie Hu has not given up yet. He stabbed one of the fangs on his wrist to pay his blood for the weapon's Spirit activation.
As all of the top graded weapons comes with the ability to house a spirit, it is impossible for an Inner Qi Lord like Jie Hu to be weaker in this competition. But, the payment with blood is a little too extreme.
While the fight amongst the Inner Qi Lords is happening, Zhang Wu Ji did not let himself idle in the battlefield. The Seven Star Tenders attacked the Tiger City with the intention to demolish the city and kidnapping all of their war slaves.
With the constant growth of the Seven Star County, lack of manpower is a crucial issue that must be solved first. This lead Zhang Wu Ji to consider the option of taking in War Slaves, especially towards the opposing forces.
But, he was a generous individual.
Other than the parents with a War Slaves Status, the child that was born and educated under his Seven Star Master Hall will no longer be treated as a Slave-Class population. This promise itself pays them back for their hard work to contribute to the county itself.
Zhang Wu Ji also considered the option of revoking their status after a series of contribution, but after he did some calculation, this topic should be discussed further, especially after Ninth Prince obtained the position of the Crown Prince.
"Commander! Be careful!" three soldiers from his Thousand Star Battalion charged into where he stands to protect him from the attack of three 25th Stage Inner Qi Soldier opponents.
As a Half-Step Inner Qi Soldier, Zhang Wu Ji still has a small gap to pass before he's a 21st Stage cultivator, but his strength did not follow the traditional way. He shook his right index finger and retrieved a weapon in the color of bluish silver.

Heavenly Iron Ruler +3 (2 meters)

Zhang Wu Ji charged at the group of soldiers before him and started to beat them with his two meters long weapon. They first laughed at his choice of weapon but later regretted. This random piece of Iron Ruler hits harder than their City Lord's Tiger Fang Mace.
The waves spread from every attack disturbs them from keeping up with their opponent. Although it was only one cultivator against them, none of them are capable of attacking. Each time the ruler hits somebody, a surge of continuous wave disturbs their balance.
Worst, there's a random strike from everywhere while they fight the enemy as if the spirit is helping him to attack his targets. Unknown that they're lucky or not, Zhang Wu Ji did not kill anyone but imprison all of them with the Cage Carriage deployed by the Seven Star Tenders.
Each tender carried two of the Cage Carriage powered by the Servant Puppets, where it will pull the cart back to the Seven Star County and distributes them as a War Slave after their paperwork is complete.
The process proceeds smoothly under Zhang Wu Ji's leadership, plus because the entire Tiger City is lack of commanding officer class personnel, their formation is equaled to a pile of loose sand, easily crushed without too much effort.
One after another, Zhang Wu Ji and his 15,000 soldiers run through the street and alleys to catch their slaves before leaving the city empty. Zhang Wu Ji executed a few rounds of his Vein Listener Art to search, and his conclusion is nothing left worth looting.
He returned to the entrance of Tiger City to mock Jie Hu.
"Brat! I promise to the heaven that I will kill you!" Jie Hu cursed loudly to vents his anger, but before he turned to Zhang Wu Ji, three blades came from all sides and forced him to retreat.
It was commendable, seeing that Jie Hu can still struggle for a while against four Inner Qi Lords. This performance itself tells them the fact that no matter how bad is the situation, a Peak Inner Qi Lord can be said to be the top Lords even in the entire Upper South State.
But Peak Inner Qi Lord or not, injuries cannot be evaded. Jie Hu's retreat lack of calculation, and forced to swallow a mouthful of blood he's going to vomit when Liang Tian's Seven Gem Brilliance struck his spine.
"Aargh! Liang Tian!" Jie Hu frantically attack without bothering if it hit his target or not, all he was thinking now is how to escape, and not killing any of his opponents. And while he believes that his effort is successful, an arrow flew up to his side.
"Boom!" although the explosion carries no destruction ability that capable of injuring an Inner Qi Lord, the explosion still work as a deterrence against him. An explosion that happened just by the side of his ears caused him a headache for a moment.
Jie Hu turned his attention to the four Inner Qi Lords, but when he noticed that all of their fingers are pointing at the ground, Jie Hu's worries become real. The attack to deafen his hearing for a moment is on purpose to connect to this next piece of a show!
Armed on every Seven Star Tenders, the mighty Celestial Bombing Quiver that used to destroy the entire Xuan Wu Bandit Stronghold is fired at Tiger City, leading to a chain explosion that turns the Tiger City into history!
One day!
One attack!
That is what Seven Star Master Hall's military strength needs to destroy one of the three cities in Jie County! At least 1.5 Million people are kidnapped and turned into slaves, and a third of their Jie County will belong to his opponents.
"NO!!! Uurgh!" Jie Hu's mind is in turmoil. Confusion hits him hard, leaving him unbelieved that as an Inner Qi Lord, he's actually forced to witness the destruction of the City built from his life effort.
"Zhang Wu Ji! The world doesn't allow both of us to live under the same sky! I will make sure to kill you today!" Jie Hu put all his attention into killing this 20th Stage Half-Step Inner Qi Soldier while ignoring all the attack launched by the four Inner Qi Lords.
"Protect Wu Ji! Quickly escape from him at this instant!" Beiping Ruolan is the one that charged into Jie Hu and stabbed her sword on his left shoulder. But the attack wasn't fatal enough to stop Jie Hu's momentum.
"Southern Mountain Palm!" Yang Yi and Yang Er attacked, both of them landed their attacks on the back and side of Jie Hu, but it was still not enough to stop him. Only results from the hit was a continuous flow of blood from Jie Hu's mouth.
"Xiu! Xiu! Xiu!" three-shots fireworks exploded not far from their battlefield, indicating that backup is coming from the other two cities belonging to other Inner Qi Lords Clan members.
And a shadow comes from not far, which belonged to another Inner Qi Lord of the Jie's Clan. The newcomer releases a might of 68th Stage Inner Qi Lord aura for the sake of taunting the enemies from keeping with their attack.
"Jie Feng... Protect our Jie's Clan..." Jie Hu whispered. The aura from the newcomer failed to give him ease because his target is still alive and standing less than five hundred meters from him!
"I told you before, The sky doesn't allow both of us to live under it! Today will be the day of your death!" Jie Hu continued. With the gap of 2 seconds, Liang Tian successfully reaches close to Zhang Wu Ji and attacked with his Seven Gem Brilliance, but the attack is blocked by Jie Hu's Tiger Fang Mace!
"Crash!" the Tiger Fang Mace finally give up. The exchange between the two weapons resulted in the mace's loss, and the attack struck Jie Hu's spine. Two of his bones dislocated, with no hope of him able to stands anymore, but out of all expectation, he still tries to attack!
Jie Hu used both of his arms to make himself the last push, closing the gap between him and Zhang Wu Ji's five meters! But he did not realize that the three weaker Inner Qi Lords has given up in chasing to him anymore!
"Zhang Wu Ji, Die!" Jie Hu aimed his claws at Zhang Wu Ji.
"I don't think so," Zhang Wu Ji replied.
"Huh?" Jie Hu finally understand that he was tricked from the moment this youth came to his Tiger City. An individual undone his clock that covering his identity away, and launch a fist with the strength of a 61st Stage Inner Qi Lord on his skull.
"You're...." Jie Hu cannot believe that his life will actually end at the hand of a newly promoted Inner Qi Lord.
"Master," Li Jing kneeled before Zhang Wu Ji, smiling.
