Chapter 723: Destroy the City with One Sword [Subscribe*Monthly Tickets]

Wang Ben and the Daliang defenders rushed to the section of the city wall soaked in river water as soon as possible, and saw Yan Yan and Mo Ya standing by the river, facing the tall city wall.

"What is he going to do?" Wang Ben and the Daliang defenders looked at Yan Yan in confusion. Yan Yan was the only one with him. They didn't understand how he dared to say such words as inviting Wei Guo to die with only one person and one sword.

"Your Majesty!" Mo Ya held the sword in both hands and handed the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss to Yan Yan.

Yan Yan grasped the hilt of the Seven Star Dragon Abyss with his right hand...

"clang~" With a harsh metallic grinding sound, the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss was slowly pulled out of the scabbard.

The Daliang defender frowned, still looking confused. Although Emperor Xuanwu was known as the number one martial arts master in the world, it was a pipe dream for him to destroy the wall of Daliang with just one man and one sword!
The Daliang Royal City has undergone more than a hundred years of continuous repair and reinforcement. Didn’t you see that even Wang Ben could only divert water for irrigation but could not attack it by force?

"This sword is called the Eight Methods of Yong, one sword with eight styles!"

Yan Yan spoke word by word, flipping the Seven Star Dragon Abyss in his hand and wielding it, releasing one majestic sword energy after another, which cut through the river water and slashed fiercely at the tall Daliang city wall.

"Destroy the city with one sword?" Wang Ben frowned.

It’s not that he looked down on Yan Yan, but even a grandmaster couldn’t destroy the tall Daliang city wall with just one sword, right?
The Daliang defender thought the same.

They believed that the Sword Master and the Grandmaster could destroy the pavilion with one sword, but that was a wooden pavilion, while this was a city wall made of earth and stones.

If the master can destroy a city with one sword, then there is no need to fight a war. When attacking a city or a stronghold, it is enough to send a master to destroy the city. What's the point of sending ten times the force to attack the city.

"Maybe he just wanted to leave some sword marks and words on the city wall!" The Daliang defender and Wang Ben had the same idea at this moment.

Being able to leave sword marks on the walls of Daliang is something to be proud of.

At least since Daliang was built, not even catapults could leave too many traces on it, let alone warriors being able to leave traces on it.

"Puff..." The first sword energy slashed into the city wall soaked in river water, making a dull sound.

However, the Daliang defender did not pay too much attention to it, as there was nothing wrong with the sound.

The base of the city wall has been washed by the river for so many days that the outermost layer of the wall has softened into mud. This is indeed the sound of the sword energy cutting in.

"Puff..." The second sword energy came quickly, equally low.

The Daliang defender still didn't care.

"Puff..." The third sword energy came, and the Daliang defender frowned slightly.

"Puff..." The fourth sword energy came, and the Daliang defender frowned.

"One sword with eight styles. It is impossible for every sword energy to be as powerful and sharp as the first three!" The Daliang defender comforted himself, it must be like this.

Even if it is Emperor Xuanwu, who has eight styles of sword, it is impossible for the power of each sword to be the same. It can only be said that the power of the last sword has decreased, not that there is a problem with the city wall.

"Dang~" The fifth sword energy came, and the city wall collided with the sword energy, making a crisp and vibrating sound like a sledgehammer hitting stone.

The Daliang defender's face finally changed, but he still suppressed his shock and comforted himself. This was the fifth sword energy, and the fifth sword energy had just hit the unsoftened city wall, so it was impossible to destroy the tall Daliang city wall.

"Dang~" The sixth sword energy came, and gravel flew into the river. The river water swirled and continued to wash the city wall along the hole that was previously opened by the sword energy.

"Although it can speed up the speed of the river water washing the city wall, it is still unlikely to break the city with one sword!" Wang Ben also shook his head. It was the Xuanwu enemy. Otherwise, if it were someone else, even if the city wall was soaked from the outside to the inside, Wang Ben didn't think anyone could split the city wall with force.

"Dang..." The seventh sword energy once again bombarded the core of the city wall, but still failed to break through it.

The Daliang defender heaved a sigh of relief. There were seven sword energies, but this was the last one.

I'm afraid that the fifth to seventh sword energies can only advance half a foot. Considering the thickness of the Daliang city wall, what does this half a foot count for?

"Boom..." The eighth sword energy appeared and hit the city wall, but the sound it made this time was beyond everyone's expectations.

"What!" The Daliang defender's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly ran to the other side of the city wall to watch. However, it would have been better if he hadn't looked. As soon as he looked, his heart died instantly.

That sword actually blasted a gap in the city wall, opening an opening for the river water to vent. Endless river water rushed into the city madly through the gap, and the gap was still expanding.

"Let's go!" After Yan Yan finished his eight sword moves, he casually inserted the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss into the scabbard held in Mo Ya's hands and turned around calmly.

Mo Ya followed Yan Yan in confusion, but looked back from time to time to see the consequences of the eight sword energies.

Then he also noticed that Yan Yan seemed to turn around calmly without looking at the result, but he deliberately slowed down his pace and pricked up his ears to listen to the movement behind him, and he did not appear to be as calm as he seemed.

"The city is broken!" Wang Ben widened his eyes as he watched a huge whirlpool appear and eight sword energies bombard the city wall.

He knew very well what the appearance of the vortex meant.

That proves that section of the city wall has been drilled through, and the river water has found an outlet. All the river water and pressure will pour into that section, which is why a whirlpool appears. This is called pipe burst!
If a pipe burst occurs on the dam and it cannot be blocked immediately, this section of the dam will inevitably burst within an hour.

Now the pipe burst has appeared on the city wall. If the beam cannot block the gap in time, the city will collapse soon!
However, it is easy to seal the pipe leakage in the dam, but how to seal the gap in the city wall?
Moreover, the gap is still expanding, and the river water is still pouring into the gap.

Not to mention blocking the gap, it’s good enough if someone can even stand outside the gap.

"Rip~" But something even more terrifying happened.

A tiny crack began to appear above the gap in the city wall that was blasted open by the sword energy.

After all, the city wall could not withstand the pressure of the water from the entire chasm and was torn apart.

"Retreat, retreat quickly!" The Daliang defender looked at the cracks that appeared under his feet and did not dare to stand on the city wall anymore. He immediately ordered the soldiers on the city wall to evacuate to a distant place.

This section of the city wall is about to collapse!

Less than a moment after the soldiers evacuated, the crack widened again. It was originally just a line, but it expanded to three feet in just a few moments.

"Boom..." Finally, the crack did not expand again, but the entire section of the city wall collapsed, and the mad river water rushed into Daliang City along the collapsed city wall.

"It's over!" The Daliang defender could only stand on the intact city wall, looking at the huge gap and the surging river water pouring into the city.

The city wall collapsed and they had no place to defend!

The Qin army only needs to open the dam, the river water will recede, and Daliang will no longer be able to stop the Qin army from entering the city.
