Boom!

  The overwhelming will of Xiu Jun suppressed them, and Tang Xiu and Wang Xiu could no longer resist, their entire bodies unable to move.

  "Could it be that Master Su is the reincarnation of Xiu Jun? Or perhaps Xiu Jun has taken over Master Su's body?" The two masters speculated in their minds.

  Inside the hall, except for the two masters and Su Qing Shang, Su Dao Xing was still sitting there, without any unusual signs. The cultivators had already fallen to the ground, panting heavily, while the Cultivator, Sect Master, and Wu Wang were all unconscious.

  Su Dao Xing secretly cursed to himself. He had already controlled a portion of Xiū Jūn's will, yet he still hadn't expected Xiū Jūn's will to be so overbearing, almost crushing Wú Wáng into pieces.

  Xiu Jun's will has disappeared!

  The two cultivators regained control of their bodies. The cultivators stood up, adjusted their clothes and hats. The cultivator, the sect master, and the martial king woke up one after another.

  "What happened? How did I fall asleep?" A king of Wu looked puzzled and gazed at the soldier beside him.

  A master glared at the martial king with a bad temper and scolded: "Idiot! You were knocked unconscious by the strong will earlier, not asleep."

  The soldiers all gaped in shock, unable to close their mouths, and cast fearful glances at Su Dao Xing.

  Su Qing saw that the soldiers' gaze towards Su Dao Xing was even more fearful than when they looked at him, and he didn't feel good about it. He had spent a long time establishing his authority and projecting an image of unyielding military will, but his son had subdued these soldiers in just a short moment. In his heart, he thought: "Perhaps after I retire, Dao Xing can take over my position and continue to guard Dongyang City, and this would also be a great story about a father and son guarding the same city."

  As for whether Su Dao Xing would agree with Su Qing Shang's approach, Su Qing Shang hadn't considered it. Guarding a city was the dream of many soldiers' lives; who would refuse? Only a fool would decline.

  Su Dao Xing coughed lightly and said: "Just now my proposal, I don't know if you all have any other opinions?"

  The soldiers were as silent as cicadas in winter. No one dared to speak up. Su Daoxing's will was suppressed again, and it would be strange if they weren't crushed.

  "Two Masters, I just proposed that the two of you work together with me. What are your opinions?" Su Dao's gaze was fixed on the two cultivators with an unfriendly glint in his eyes.

  The two masters were terrifying figures, highly revered in the Eastern Dynasty. Unexpectedly, they were threatened by a single sect master. The two masters felt stifled, but they didn't dare to object, or else Su Dao Xing's will would be suppressed by the two masters' combined strength, and they wouldn't be able to withstand it, losing face as seniors.

  "No objection. Let's act according to what Sir Su said."

  "Listen to Master Su's arrangement."

  The two masters spoke with unparalleled politeness, displaying an attitude of reverence and admiration.

  "What about the nine masters?" Su Dao Xing's face was filled with a smile as he looked towards the group of soldiers where the nine masters were.

  "Follow Master Su's arrangement!"

  "Su Gongzi says how to do it, we just do it, at most one death, what's the fear of the miscellaneous troops of the Bee Ape Army?"

  "As long as you can kill the King of the Apes, Su Gongzi will let Zhang do whatever he wants."

  “......”

  “......”

  Nine masters expressed their attitudes and supported Su Daoxing's proposal.

  Su Qing didn't want to make the group of soldiers look too bad, so he said directly: "Since everyone's opinions are unified, later on, the two Masters and nine Masters will stay behind with Dao Xing to discuss the details of the action. For now, let's discuss the battle plan for the next three days against the Huanyu Army."

  In the hall, the soldiers began to discuss and debate, with disagreements and differing opinions, until late at night, when they finally unified their views and set down the program for the decisive battle and the strategy for action.

  The next morning, the city was at war, and a stern and murderous atmosphere spread throughout the entire Dongyang City.

  No one gave an order, all the soldiers, even the logistics soldiers, put on their armor, grasped their weapons and climbed onto the city wall.

  Today may erupt in an all-out war!

  Today may be the final battle, a life-and-death struggle. After this battle, they and Dongyang City might cease to exist; or perhaps they will become heroes who defeated the Xiongnu army.

  The troops stationed around Dongyang City all rushed to the south gate of Dongyang City.

  "There will be no decisive battle today, the Bee Ape Army will use today to gather all its forces at the south gate and is expected to launch a general attack early tomorrow morning." Su Qing still watched the movements of the Bee Ape Army, judging their intentions based on years of experience. He instructed his personal guards: "Continue to send Zong Shi to think of ways to break through the siege and seek help from other giant cities. As for the repairers, do not call upon them, they should prepare for the decisive battle early tomorrow morning."

  "Yes!" The loyal guard took his leave.

  The great war is coming, and both sides are building up their strength.

  Dongyang City was also deploying troops and dispatching generals. Except for some necessary garrison soldiers, all the soldiers gathered at the south city wall of Dongyang City.

  Night falls, and the soldiers rest on the city walls, waiting.

  When the first red light appeared in the sky, a shocking and earth-shaking ape howl burst out from within the Ape Army.

  "Is the general attack about to begin?"

  "Is the battle of life and death about to begin?"

  The soldiers stood up one after another, some with bloodshot eyes, some with nervousness, some like a golden Buddha with angry eyes, and some like small grass in the cold wind...

  "Colossal Warriors, prepare!"

  "Archers, ready!"

  "Riflemen, ready!"

  "Archers, ready!"

  "Heavy hammer soldiers, prepare!"

  “......”

  “......”

  Order after order was issued, and all soldiers entered a state of combat readiness.

  On the city wall, Su Dao Xing stood in the cold wind, his clothes fluttering and rustling.

  Behind Su Daoming were Tang Xiu, Wang Xiu and nine other cultivators. They now shuddered at the thought of Su Daoming's strategy to infiltrate deep into enemy lines.

  "Perhaps I will fall in this battle today."

  "Next year's today will be my memorial day."

  Some soldiers muttered to themselves.

  "Kill!"

  Coarse ancient language came out of the mouths of the soldiers from the Bee Ape Army.

  One by one, the apes, led by the ape king, surged towards the hundred-meter city wall of Dongyang City like a tide.

  The war has begun!

  Sharp arrows, flying needles, iron spears, steel axes, and javelins shot towards the countless apes like raindrops.

  The ape climbed up onto the city wall at dawn.

  Blood and flesh splattered everywhere, corpse after corpse fell to the ground.

  Su Dao Xing and the powerful ones behind him didn't move a muscle, they were waiting.

  The five Bee Ape Kings at the Master level within the Bee Ape Army remained motionless, waiting as well.

  A silent showdown unfolded, a group of the strongest engaged in a test of patience with each other, to see which side's strongest would lose their composure first.

  The war entered a climax time and again.

  Several times, the ape attacked the city wall, and Dongyang City was in danger. Su Dao Xing and two masters, nine masters did not move, even if Dongyang City was broken, they had to hold their temper.
