A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 481 One Slap to Death

The city lord is actually acting like a brother to a student. What kind of situation is this?

The city lord nodded, looking worried, and said, "My only concern is what you just said. If they don't have any support, our Ancient Spirit City can completely crush Black House Mountain. No, we can't sit idly by and wait to be killed. We must launch a full-scale attack while they are unprepared and attack Black House Mountain directly. We can't give them any chance to breathe."

Chao Bufan nodded solemnly and said, "I'm afraid we have no choice. From what I heard from the Black House Mountain City Lord, it seems that they are determined to take our Ancient Spirit City. If they were not absolutely certain, they would not have launched such a large-scale attack."

"Alas!" The city lord nodded, then sighed softly and said, "Brother, are we really destined to submit to the foot of Black House Mountain?"

Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan frowned, then asked telepathically, "Senior, do you know how to use the Sky-Shattering Cannon?"

"Kid, what do you want?"

"Didn't you say you wanted me to test the power of the Sky-Bomb Cannon? Isn't this the perfect opportunity to test it out?"

"Kid, are you really going to do this?"

"What else can we do? Just leave like that? I can't do that. My conscience won't allow it."

"Alright! Actually, the method of using the Sky-Shaking Cannon is very simple. You just need to transfer your true energy directly into the Sky-Shaking Cannon, and it will automatically condense the true energy into the corresponding true energy cannonball, and then fire it out according to your will until it hits the target."

"It's that simple?"

"What do you think?"

"I thought it would require some kind of formula or something, but it's so simple. Senior, I understand now."

As he spoke, he glanced at the city lord and then said, "Brother, I do have a plan, but I don't know if it will work."

Upon hearing this, the city lord was overjoyed and asked, "What method?"

With a thought, Chao Bufan conjured four Sky-Shattering Cannons in front of him. He said, "Brother, I want to test the power of these four Sky-Shattering Cannons, but I don't know if they'll work. If they don't, then I'll just have to do as you say."

"Will this work?" the city lord asked, puzzled.

Chao Bufan said with a solemn expression, "Whether it works or not, we'll only know after we try."

The Second Elder asked with a grave expression, "City Lord, what is going on here—"

His words reflected the sentiments of everyone else present. With the situation so dire, what good would these four broken cannons do?

In the short span of those few dozen seconds, the magical beasts in the Black Forest retreated like a tide. Both sides ceased their attacks, and everyone present knew that what lay ahead was a true contest of strength.

Sure enough, before long, the sound of horses' hooves came from ahead, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of thousands of soldiers from Black House Mountain appeared in the sky above the Magic Forest.

"Listen up, people of Ancient Spirit City!" said Patch, the Great Elder of Black House Mountain, standing before the army, looking down at them with imposing authority. "Your forces are now doomed. If you don't want to die, lay down your weapons and surrender! Our city lord has said that anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!"

“Patch,” the Great Elder of Ancient Spirit City stepped forward and roared, “How dare you speak so arrogantly! You Black House Mountain dare to break your oath and try to invade our Ancient Spirit City. Today, I will make sure you never leave.”

“Heh,” Patch sneered, his face full of disdain, “So what if we Black House Mountain broke our oath? Don’t you understand the principle of the strong ruling? You see, our Black House Mountain army is already at the gates of your Ancient Spirit City. Our city lord said that as long as you give up resistance, you can avoid being slaughtered. Otherwise, we Black House Mountain will definitely trample every inch of Ancient Spirit City.”

“Arrogant,” the city lord of Ancient Spirit City stepped forward and said coldly, “Guster, why hide in the back and dare not show your face? Or are you simply unable to face anyone?”

As soon as the words fell, the city lord of Black House Mountain appeared before everyone's eyes, along with a man named Black Sky, who remained in the form of a hazy black mist.

“Martin,” Gust smiled slightly, “it’s been a long time. I didn’t expect that we would meet as enemies this time!”

Martin, the city lord of Guling City, sneered and said, "I didn't expect you to have such a big appetite. If you want to flatten my Guling City, we'll see if your Black House Mountain has the ability."

“Hehe,” Gust chuckled, “Martin, I advise you, if you don’t want the city of Guling to be devastated, you’d better give up the fight. If you are willing to submit to me, I will withdraw my troops; otherwise, with just one order from me, the entire city of Guling will cease to exist.”

"Hmph," Chao Bufan found it hard to listen, took a step forward, and snorted coldly, saying, "I say, Guster, Guster, why don't you just die? You're supposed to be the city lord of Black House Mountain, yet you don't even bother to think before you speak. Aren't you afraid of biting off more than you can chew?"

"Huh?" Not only Lord Martin and his group, but even Guster and his men on the other side were stunned upon hearing this. Then, Guster, who had recovered, laughed and said, "I say Martin, is this all the ability your Ancient Spirit City has? You actually sent a clown to speak for you. It seems I overestimated you."

"A joke?" Chao Bufan sneered, picked his nose with one finger, and said with a disgusted look, "So what if I'm a clown? Guster, do you believe that I, this clown, can bite you to death?"

Gust frowned, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes. He sneered and said, "Boy, state your name. This city lord never kills arrogant nobody."

Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan took another step forward, stepping onto a cannon, and chuckled nonchalantly, "Then you'd better listen carefully. My name is Chao Bufan. I'm not only a student at the Magic Academy, but also the deputy city lord of Guling City. Guster, open your dog eyes and look carefully. Do you see these cannons under my feet? Don't they look familiar?"

Upon hearing this, Gust flew into a rage, but when he saw the four cannons beneath Chao Bufan's feet, he exclaimed in surprise, "This isn't—"

"Hahahaha," Chao Bufan laughed, interrupting Gust's next words, and said with a smile, "That's right, two of the cannons are the same two cannons at the entrance of your Black House Mountain Treasure Pavilion. It's just that I'm sorry to say, I stole them by posing as Sanchez. Oh, by the way, the five students from your Black Magic Academy who participated in the competition, as well as that Sanchez and Diram, they were all slapped to death by me. I even disguised myself as Sanchez and went to the Treasure Pavilion to brazenly steal these two cannons. I didn't expect—"
