Chapter 479: Young city lord?

The youth before him didn’t even spare a glance for the Abyssal Fiend sprawled on the ground; he simply snapped his fingers lightly.

The moment his fingers snapped, the Abyssal Fiend instantly vanished into thin air like a candle in the wind, leaving only wisps of black smoke dissipating into the air.

There wasn’t a ripple in the youth’s deep eyes, as if what he had just eliminated was nothing more than an insignificant ant.

After the Abyssal Fiend dispersed, the youth quietly gazed at the black-glowing bead that had fallen before him.

Immediately, the youth felt the bead dropped by the Abyssal Fiend, and his brows furrowed slightly. He couldn’t bother with the bead now, so he instantly pointed at it, intending to crush it.

Just as his condensed fingertip was about to make contact, a chilling aura assailed him, spreading outwards and causing Liang Yu, who was spectating nearby, to shiver involuntarily.

This aura contained endless resentment and malice, as if it were Bai Hong’s final struggle and a disgusting trick.

Suddenly, the black energy on the bead began to surge wildly, forming a distorted human face that let out a sharp roar.

“Let me out! I’ll make you all pay!”

At this moment, most of the youth’s attention wasn’t on the bead; he simply waved his hand, causing the bead to roll to the side of the Cultivation Field.

Then, he said in a very calm tone,

“You all deal with this.”

After that, he no longer paid attention to the bead.

His entire focus was on the ground below.

At this time, a bloody hand emerged from the hole Bai Hong had previously made, followed by a second, then a third.

Until six bloody hands were at the opening, easily expanding the original one-meter-wide hole to nearly five meters, with crushed rocks and bricks from the Cultivation Field’s pavement falling below.

The people in the Cultivation Field had not yet recovered from their shock when a huge figure slowly crawled out of the hole.

This was a giant monster exuding a bloody aura, standing two stories high, with a body as robust as a small mountain, each step causing the ground to tremble.

The monster’s body was covered in strange patterns, flickering with eerie blood-red light, and its six bloody hands were as sharp as blades, capable of smashing surrounding rocks with a single swing.

The youth’s gaze finally showed a hint of change; he vigilantly watched the suddenly appearing monster, his aura having already reached its peak.

He raised his left hand, his palm already transformed into a hand-blade, and swung it directly at the emerging monster.

An unrivaled surge of energy, carrying a blade light, rushed towards the monster. The monster let out a furious roar, its voice echoing like muffled thunder above the Cultivation Field, and then lunged at the youth.

Turning like a swift wind, it met the youth’s lightning-fast blade light, and the monster’s six bloody hands, like steel pincers, clamped down tightly on the blade light that was cutting down from above like Mount Tai pressing down on an egg.

The blade light and bloody hands collided fiercely, emitting dazzling sparks.

The monster blocked the first wave of attack but was still knocked back a considerable distance.

The youth’s gaze was firm; he clenched his right fist, condensing powerful energy, and blasted it towards the monster’s position.

The fist struck the monster’s body, breaking the balance between the blade light and the bloody hands. When the monster released its grip on the blade light, the blade light smoothly cut into its body, leaving a deep wound, and blood splattered.

The blade light, having passed through the monster’s body, flew directly towards Liang Yu, who was watching nearby.

Liang Yu hadn’t expected the blade light to suddenly fly towards him; his eyes widened in shock, and his body stiffened at that moment. Fortunately, it wasn’t a big problem; just as the blade light was about to touch him, an Aurora Shield appeared in front of him, blocking the attack.

However, the appearance of the Aurora Shield also meant that he had been exposed. If the opponent couldn’t notice him, he would truly be blind.

Liang Yu didn’t think the youth in front of him wouldn’t notice him; he just estimated that he couldn’t spare a hand at the moment.

Additionally, Liang Yu felt a vague sense of familiarity when looking at this monster.

This feeling wasn’t the familiarity of the previous flesh ball. Since it crawled out from below and had six bloody arms, he naturally understood that this monster was an evolution of the flesh ball, in the process of transforming into a human form.

What he meant by familiarity was the bloody monster he encountered in the back mountain of the Zen Temple in West Sand City.

He always felt there was some connection between the two.

And the monster, feeling the pain from the blade light wound, roared even more frantically, the bloody light on its body intensifying. It stomped its foot fiercely, and the ground instantly cracked into huge fissures, spreading towards the soldiers nearby.

At this moment, a soldier riding a warhorse, carrying a nearly two-meter-long box on his back, burst into the combat zone between the two sides.

The soldier galloped towards the youth, simultaneously unfastening the box from his body and throwing it in the youth’s direction, respectfully saying,

“Lord City Lord, the sword box has been brought.”

The youth reached out and steadily caught the sword box, then slung it onto his back.

However, what Liang Yu saw was an extremely speechless scene: the youth in front of him was at most around 1.6 meters tall, and the sword box on his back was so large that it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say it could fit his entire body inside.

At this moment, the sword box was slung diagonally across his back, otherwise, the youth wouldn’t even be as tall as the sword box.

!!!

But very quickly, Liang Yu recalled what the soldier had just said.

City Lord!!

This youth in front of him was actually the City Lord of this city!!!

As he was surprised, the City Lord instructed the soldier on the warhorse,

“Take the person hiding over there to a safe area, guard him well, and wait for my return.”

He said, pointing in Liang Yu’s direction.

After delivering the sword box, the soldier, hearing the command, didn’t hesitate at all and immediately turned around to carry out the City Lord’s order.

Liang Yu, watching the soldier approaching him, was contemplating whether he should reveal himself.

After all, at first, he had thought the youth in front of him would be similar to Hui Nian, a closed-door disciple of that important figure.

But to his utter surprise, the other party was actually the City Lord.

However, if it weren’t for this, Liang Yu would have truly forgotten about Hui Nian. With Hui Nian’s identity, he should be safe for now.

This City Lord probably wouldn’t do anything outrageous to him, and even if he did, couldn’t he resist?

Having thought it through, he actively revealed himself and met up with the soldier, allowing him to lead him away from this area.

On the youth’s side, after getting the sword box, his entire aura changed. Gone was the initial sharpness and keenness; instead, he appeared extraordinarily ordinary.

As Liang Yu left, he could feel that all the aura the other party had just accumulated had been transferred into the sword box.

At this moment, an opening had appeared in the sword box on the youth’s back, and flying swords continuously emerged from within.
