Not good... Cold sweat instantly broke out all over his body, but before he could take any further action, he saw that the two sword lights did not fall on him. Instead, they suddenly slashed towards the vice city lord, Luo Sha, behind him.
"City Lord, save me..." Luo Sha, the vice city lord, screamed in shock and fury, and the flame wheel in his hand was instantly activated, frantically blocking in front of him. Then, the Dongguang City Lord heard two cracking sounds. The first sound was that Luo Sha's flame wheel was instantly split and sent flying, and at the same time, the next sword light pierced through Luo Sha's forehead like a comet, blasting his entire being into nothingness.
On the ground at the wharf, a faint sword mark dissipated, and the vice city lord Luo Sha, who was standing there before, had already turned into nothingness, disappearing without a trace.
With a clang, the flame wheel that was struck flying finally fell to the ground, becoming dull and dim, having lost its owner, the spirit within it had scattered.
The Dongguang City Lord saw the vice city lord Luo Sha being killed by Qin Chen with a single sword under his own watch. He felt a surge of rage erupt from the depths of his heart, almost spitting out a mouthful of blood. At the same time, a deep chill spread, and his essence was instantly pushed to the extreme, his face turned cold and severe.
"Boom..." In his fury, the Dongguang City Lord's divine shuttle suddenly enlarged, stirring up the killing intent in the surrounding space, and simultaneously activated the dock's grand formation. Instantly, endless terrifying array patterns flickered, enveloping Qin Chen and the others. In a moment, sand and rocks flew, and chaotic currents swept wildly.
Qin Chen calmly raised his hand and waved, and the chaotic currents instantly disappeared, ignoring the surrounding array patterns and the killing intent of the Dongguang City Lord. He spoke slowly, "Now is the time to have killed the vice city lord Luo Sha."
"You..." The Dongguang City Lord could no longer hold back, his face turned so gloomy that it seemed water could drip from it. At the same time, his body expanded madly, with the terrifying aura of a half-step Venerable surging crazily. The divine shuttle in his hand also went berserk, stirring up a killing intent within hundreds of miles, and his killing intent was continuously escalating.
"Is this lord trying to make an enemy of my Dongguang City?"
The Dongguang City Lord roared in anger, truly intent on killing. Qin Chen killed his Dongguang City's vice city lord under everyone's eyes, which was a severe slap to his face.
Sleeping Immortal looked at Qin Chen in disbelief. He even thought he had misperceived. The person in front of him was not the Master Chen Qing of the Tianwu Alchemy Shop. One must know that when Master Chen Qing left here, although he could kill late-stage Saint Masters, he should still be weaker than himself.
But now, Qin Chen had instantly killed the vice city lord Luo Sha, who was on par with him, causing an endless shock to surge in his heart.
Sleeping Immortal's face turned pale, and he sighed inwardly. He knew the city lord was truly enraged, and at such a moment, he didn't know what to say, nor would his words have any effect.
Qin Chen, sensing the vast killing intent released by the Dongguang City Lord, remained utterly unfazed, speaking indifferently, "Making an enemy of Dongguang City? What are you talking about, City Lord?
My Tianwu Alchemy Shop is a part of Dongguang City's forces, how could it be against Dongguang City? What I did was merely to purify the ranks of Dongguang City."
"My Tianwu Alchemy Shop's development in the Eastern Heaven Realm is absolutely compliant, conducting fair trade without deceit. But I've heard that this vice city lord Luo Sha has always been arrogant and domineering, using his position to coerce and entice some forces within Dongguang City. I don't know which power this person belongs to, but spreading this is tarnishing the reputation of my top force in the Heaven Realm. I was merely purging the ranks of Dongguang City on their behalf."
