Chapter 49 Mulan's High-Level Maneuvers! The System Finally Came Alive?
"Who goes there?!"
Tang Lie and Tang Wei were startled and looked toward the source of the sound.
Then a graceful figure clad in blue armor slowly walked out from beside the second tower.
The woman stood tall and straight like a pine tree, carrying a large knife on her back and two short swords hanging at her waist.
Her emerald green phoenix eyes, sharp as knives, fell directly on the two of them, and she commanded authoritatively:
"I am Hua Mulan, the general of the Great Wall Guard!"
"You have trespassed into Chang'an without permission. According to the law, you should be arrested. Surrender and you will be spared death!"
Seeing this, Tang Lie and Tang Wei felt as if they had heard the biggest joke in the world.
Hahahahahahahaha!!!
The two exchanged a glance, their eyes pointing contemptuously at Mulan with a mocking sneer:
"Is this all the most powerful force in the land, Chang'an? Not a single man among them? They've appointed a mere woman as general! You think you can stop us?!"
"We are from the Haotian Sect, the number one sect in the world. If you know what's good for you, lead the way to see your city lord. Otherwise, we'll have to be ruthless!"
Hua Mulan's brows furrowed suddenly, and her grip on the sword hilt tightened:
"Who says women are inferior to men? I can adorn myself with makeup before the mirror, or don armor with a cold gleam!"
"If you don't surrender obediently within three breaths, don't blame me for being merciless with my sword!"
Tang Lie and Tang Wei were stunned for a moment, then exchanged a glance, their eyes still full of mockery:
"Tsk tsk, you little wench, you have quite the bearing, but I wonder if your strength can keep up!"
"We'd like to see what you can do to us!"
Before the words were even finished, the two simultaneously unleashed their martial spirits, accompanied by the standard spirit ring configuration for a titled Douluo.
"Tang Lie, the seventh elder of the Clear Sky Sect, Martial Soul: Earth Sun Clear Sky Hammer, a level 93 Power Attack Type Title Douluo, titled 'Blazing Sun'!"
"Tang Wei, the third elder of the Clear Sky Sect, Martial Soul: Clear Sky Hammer, a level 92 Power Attack type Title Douluo, titled 'Wei Tian'!"
The two exchanged a glance, their eyes flashing with ruthlessness, and swung their giant hammers at Mulan.
"Just because the mythical beast doesn't show its power doesn't mean I'm a lucky charm!"
A cold light flashed in Hua Mulan's eyes, and her soul power surged suddenly.
"The Qilin rides on auspicious clouds, dispelling all calamities in the world!"
A jade-green Qilin emerged from Mulan's body.
The Qilin raised its head and roared, shaking the entire world violently, and nine rings suddenly appeared:
Black, black, black, black, black, black, black, red!
"Martial Soul: Auspicious Beast Qilin, Level 97 Power Attack Type Super Douluo, Title: 'Qilin'!"
A terrifying wave of soul power swept outwards, and Tang Lie and Tang Wei were forced back several meters.
"What...what kind of martial spirit is this? It's terrifying!!"
The smiles on Tang Wei and Tang Lie's faces froze instantly, their expressions filled with horror:
"This young woman is so young, yet her soul power level is the same as Tang Xiao's!"
"The spirit ring configuration is even more terrifying, it's exactly the same as Uncle Tang Chen's!"
The two were completely panicked; their previous contempt had vanished, replaced by deep fear.
"Oh no! Run!!"
Although they were arrogant, they weren't fools. Knowing they were no match for them, they immediately turned and tried to escape.
"Trying to run? Too late!"
Hua Mulan snorted coldly:
"Let me show you some advanced techniques!"
"Second Soul Skill - Whirlwind Dance!"
Mulan raised her left hand.
A light sword suddenly appeared from its sheath at his waist, transforming into a streak of light as it flew towards Tang Wei, who was at the very back.
The sword, wreathed in pale blue soul power, traced a graceful arc in the air before striking Tang Wei with pinpoint accuracy.
"Buzz—"
The light sword trembled, and an invisible energy wave spread out.
Tang Wei felt his body suddenly freeze, and he was unable to move for a moment.
This is the silence effect of Mulan's second skill in her light sword form!
"Immovable as a mountain, swift as fire! Still as a shadow, fast as the wind!"
"First Soul Skill - Sky Rift Slash!"
Hua Mulan moved her feet and rushed towards Tang Wei like a ghost.
"Ninth Soul Skill - Blooming Blade!"
As she drew near, Mulan's eyes flashed with murderous intent. She sheathed her short sword and drew the greatsword from her back, swinging it with a flick.
The greatsword sliced through the air with a piercing whistle, and swirled as it slashed towards Tang Wei's waist.
"Third Brother, stop it quickly!!!"
Tang Lie, who was fleeing ahead, suddenly turned around to warn him, but it was too late.
"Pfft—"
Blood splattered as Tang Wei's body was severed at the waist by the spinning greatsword.
His body split in two and crashed heavily to the ground, his eyes still showing disbelief.
"This woman is so ruthless!!!"
Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Before Tang Lie could even feel angry, fear instantly swept over his entire body.
"Third Brother, Seventh Brother will return to the Haotian Sect to gather our brothers and avenge you!!!"
Tang Lie made a silent vow in his heart, and dared not linger any longer. He turned around and ran wildly towards the direction outside the Great Wall.
"Where do you think you're going?!"
Mulan sheathed her greatsword on her back.
He drew his two short swords from his waist and was about to give chase.
"Buzz—!"
Just then, the patterns on the two towers next to it suddenly lit up.
Ye Han's gentle yet authoritative voice entered Hua Mulan's mind:
"Mulan, there's no need to pursue."
Mulan paused, and without the slightest hesitation, immediately stopped her pursuit.
She didn't ask any questions; she obeyed the city lord's orders completely.
At this moment, four figures arrived from different directions.
It was Kai, Su Lie, Baili Xuance, and Baili Shouyue.
"Captain, what happened?!"
"Was this an intrusion? Is it resolved?!"
The four men, still puzzled, looked at the corpse on the ground and scratched their heads, asking:
"Hey, Captain, what should we do with this corpse?!"
Hua Mulan sheathed her two swords, looked down at the corpses on the ground from her high vantage point, and said majestically:
"Split it into four pieces and hang them at the four gates of the Great Wall as a warning to the outside world: those who trespass will suffer the same fate!"
...
Chang'an City, the City Lord's Mansion.
Watching Tang Lie escape, Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help but frown and ask:
"Lord City Lord, why did you stop Hua Mulan from pursuing her? Letting a tiger return to the mountains could cause future trouble!"
Ye Han stood with his hands behind his back, a half-smile on his face, and said:
"This is also part of the plan."
"Let him go so he can take today's news out and let everyone know what price will be paid for breaking into Chang'an!"
"As for the Haotian Sect, if they wish to retaliate, we are ready at any time. Let alone Sikong Zhen and Li Xin, even one of them, Kai, could single-handedly wipe out the entire Haotian Sect!"
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Wan'er suddenly realized what was going on.
Her respect for the city lord grew even stronger.
Just then, heavy footsteps came from the entrance.
The two turned to look and saw Li Xin carrying Dugu Bo in one hand as he strode in.
Dugu Bo's eyes were closed and his face was pale; he was clearly still unconscious.
"Oh, General Li Xin is more efficient than expected."
A playful smile appeared on Ye Han's lips, just as he was about to say something more.
Suddenly, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice echoed in his mind:
[bite--!]
[Characters from the original story have been detected near the host. The Creator God System is restarting...]
┍━━{Creator God System}━━┑
[Host: Ye Han]
[Soul Power Level: 91]
Number of believers: 2778
[Power of Faith: 9527]
[Progress in forming the God of Creation: 0%]
[Godhood Condensation can be unlocked once Soul Power reaches level 99]
┕━━━━━━━━━┙
Upon hearing the voice in his mind, Ye Han's pupils suddenly contracted.
The system that disappeared for an entire Kun year! It's finally back to life?!
The characters from the original story come to life; the meaning is self-evident.
Once you break through level 90, the power of faith provided by mortals and soul beasts becomes useless!
To further improve, you will need the power of faith provided by characters who appeared in the original story!
No wonder the system hasn't responded at all this year; it turns out it suffered from the "closed-door policy"!
