Boom!
Accompanied by a stern shout, a terrifying aura descended from the distant horizon. This was a towering figure, like an unparalleled god or demon, striding forward. In the space between heaven and earth, the laws of the great paths radiated brilliantly, trampled underfoot by him, exuding an invincible demeanor.
"City Lord."
"The City Lord has emerged from seclusion."
Many people exclaimed in excitement, their expressions filled with enthusiasm. Luo Sha's eyes also showed excitement. With the arrival of the City Lord, he was safe.
Qingxue Siyun remained indifferent, unmoved by the spectacle. The light of the sword was like a mighty river, surging forward with immense momentum. The sword light reached the heavens and was unbelievably strong, like a divine rainbow emerging from the abyss, cutting down everything.
"I said, stop."
The Dongguang City Lord coldly commanded, his gaze indifferent, his pupils containing a pitch-black abyss, as if all things were in a cycle of reincarnation. Deep within, there were annihilated divine mountains trembling.
What kind of scene was this?
Then, the Dongguang City Lord acted. He extended his large hand, resembling a god or demon, to capture the erupting sword qi from Qingxue Siyun. With a clang, it was like a heavenly deity reaching out, clashing with the sword light.
Boom! The sword qi soared to the sky, and a terrifying shockwave swept across, rising into a startling mushroom cloud. Around the Dongguang City dock, endless runes ascended. These were ancient runes planted here, forming a shocking grand array, shining brightly, stabilizing the void, maintaining the dock's integrity, and resisting the impact.
Despite this, many people still found it difficult to withstand the shockwave, retreating madly, and some even couldn't bear the impact, spitting blood on the spot.
"Buzz!"
Beside them, the Sleeping Immortal's body glowed, with spatial power surging. The strong spatial force sealed the void, diminishing the impact, allowing the surrounding martial artists to calm down without being harmed.
"Hmm?"
The Dongguang City Lord's complexion subtly changed. As the impact dissipated, on the dock, Qingxue Siyun frowned, her figure merely retreating two steps, unscathed by the shock. As for Black Slave and others, an invisible force surged within them, the sweeping impact fluttering Qin Chen and others' clothing, yet their figures stood rooted like trees in the spring breeze, unmoving.
Everyone present inhaled sharply. What did they witness?
The Dongguang City Lord's strike, although breaking the opponent's sword qi, did not injure them. Instead, the opponent easily resisted, leaving everyone astonished.
Swish! A figure flickered, and the Dongguang City Lord already landed on the dock square, looking at Qin Chen's group with a grave expression. He sensed the extraordinariness of Qin Chen and the others.
"City Lord."
At this moment, Vice City Lord Luo Sha hurried forward, looking disheveled, glaring at Qin Chen's group with resentment, and said coldly, "City Lord, the Tianwu Alchemy Pavilion colluded with this group of unknown origin to cause trouble in our Dongguang City, defying the law, killing the leader of our Dongguang City enforcement team, an unforgivable crime. Please, City Lord, stand up for us."
"City Lord, there must be some misunderstanding."
The Sleeping Immortal hurried forward, speaking anxiously.
The Dongguang City Lord did not pay attention to the two but fixed his gaze on Qin Chen's group, saying coldly, "Who are you? Why are you causing trouble in my Dongguang City?"
Qin Chen's gaze was indifferent, and he said calmly, "And you are the City Lord of this Dongguang City? From which top-tier force do you hail? Is this how you manage Dongguang City? Allowing your subordinates to act recklessly, targeting local forces of the Eastern Heaven Realm, do you truly regard the Eastern Heaven Realm as your personal property?"
Hiss! Everyone around was left speechless, dumbfounded.
What had they heard? This guy seemed to be scolding the Dongguang City Lord? Was he really that bold?
