Chapter 480: The city lord’s own people? ?

Watching the situation, Liang Yu found it hard not to suspect that the City Lord was planning to use Myriad Swords Returning to the Sect to kill that monster.

He immediately started to cozy up to the soldier who was riding the warhorse and taking him away.

“Hey, I say, brother, you don’t seem worried about your City Lord’s safety at all.”

“Why don’t we go back and help out?”

However, Liang Yu’s words received no reply from the other party; the soldier remained focused on executing the order to take Liang Yu away.

Seeing that the soldier ignored him, Liang Yu pouted, muttering to himself that the soldier was quite dedicated.

Just then, a ground-shaking roar suddenly came from behind, and Liang Yu couldn’t help but turn to look.

He saw that where the City Lord was, light shone in all directions, and countless sharp swords shot towards the monster like meteors.

But that monster was exceptionally fierce, easily shattering many swords with its blood-red hand.

The soldier was also startled by the commotion and reined in his horse, glancing back, his expression slightly changed, but he still pulled the reins and continued forward.

Liang Yu said anxiously.

“Brother, the City Lord might be in danger! We can’t just stand by and do nothing.”

The soldier finally spoke.

“I must first ensure your safe departure; this is an order.”

As he spoke, they had already traveled some distance.

They were almost at their temporary stronghold when, unexpectedly, a sudden change occurred.

Bai Hong’s accomplices, the other Black-robed Men, attacked the temporary stronghold.

Inside the stronghold, flames soared into the sky, and the shouts of battle were deafening.

Liang Yu and the soldier reined in their horses, their faces filled with shock. The Black-robed Men were powerful, and the guards in the stronghold were no match, falling one after another.

The soldier gritted his teeth, glanced at Liang Yu behind him, and made a difficult decision.

“We can’t go any further.”

“Brother, dismount and run straight down the road on your left; don’t look back.”

Liang Yu was also a bit unaccustomed to riding, so he quickly dismounted from the horse, then looked at the soldier and asked.

“If I leave, what about you??”

This time, the soldier still didn’t answer Liang Yu; in fact, he had already ridden away on his horse as Liang Yu asked the question.

Of course, the other party was not fleeing; instead, he rode his warhorse, drew his gleaming long sword, and charged into the stronghold to fight the Black-robed Men.

Seeing this scene, Liang Yu gently shook his head, thinking this person was reliable, or rather, the City Lord’s management of this city was quite effective.

Just as he was about to activate the Emperor Belt to transform, countless sword lights suddenly flew overhead, heading towards the stronghold.

Seeing such a scene, Liang Yu decisively put away the belt; since the City Lord had made his move, there was naturally no need for him to act.

Then he heard the City Lord’s voice from behind.

“A bunch of rats from the gutter, finally showing yourselves.”

“How dare you cause trouble on my territory.”

“Sword Qi spans thirty thousand miles, one sword’s light chills nineteen states!”

“Slay!!!”

Liang Yu hadn’t expected that the City Lord, while fighting the monster, would still have the spare capacity to notice the situation here.

However, it seemed like something else had gotten mixed into his words.

If he remembered correctly, “Sword Qi spans thirty thousand miles, one sword’s light chills nineteen states” was a line from a novel in their world.

Coupled with the cultural influence from that early group of people, he wasn’t sure if the City Lord was the recipient of that influence or one of their own people.

However, it was impossible to judge solely based on one sentence. It seemed the other party also wanted to meet him, so he would try to get more information during their interview.

In that short time, all the Black-robed Men in the stronghold were cut down by the City Lord.

Liang Yu wasn’t concerned about the City Lord’s situation; if he went over, he would definitely be stealing kills.

The crucial problem was, it seemed inappropriate to turn the monster into a card right in front of the City Lord.

However, once he got here, he had a change of heart. Perhaps this was a good thing. If the other party was one of their own, they would 100% recognize the Ultimate Emperor Armor on him after he transformed. This would be a perfect test.

Soon, Liang Yu disappeared from his original spot, nowhere to be found. The soldier who returned from the stronghold to look for Liang Yu also found nothing.

As for the City Lord, ever since he obtained the Sword Casket, he could only be described as completely crushing the monster, having forced it into a corner, with countless flying swords tightly restricting its movements.

However, the monster’s recovery ability was too formidable. If he couldn’t achieve a one-hit kill, even if he severely injured it, it would quickly recover.

Now, the two sides had entered a war of attrition. Before this, the City Lord had already forcefully cut down the monster seven or eight times.

Each time, he would strike different vital parts, but each time the opponent was cut down, its body would turn into a puddle of viscous liquid and quickly reassemble.

In this situation, fire attack might be one of the best methods, but given the current circumstances, where would he find fire? And fire that could burn the monster to death.

He himself did not know such spells, which could be seen from the Sword Casket he carried on his back.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to learn, but fate simply didn’t grant him this talent.

Just as the two sides were in a stalemate, the sky suddenly brightened, and a golden ray of light descended from above.

The countless energies of the sun gathered here, solidifying, just like at the very beginning, to form a five-clawed golden dragon—the Light Emperor War Dragon.

The Light Emperor War Dragon roared excitedly, making everyone below feel fear.

It followed the golden light beam and soared away.

As the golden beam descended, the golden giant dragon also arrived beside the beam.

As the golden light receded, a figure stood prominently on the head of the Light Emperor War Dragon.

Due to the terrifying pressure emanating from the Light Emperor War Dragon, many people couldn’t endure it and slowly knelt down, looking up at the figure on the dragon’s head.

Many people knelt on one knee, forcing themselves to hold on, and also looked up at the master of this golden dragon.

Even the City Lord, who was fighting the monster, stopped and retreated to the side, maintaining vigilance towards the sudden appearance of the person and the dragon.

Liang Yu stood on the head of the Light Emperor War Dragon, looking down, his gaze falling on the City Lord, but he just watched and did not speak.

One of his purposes for this trip was to confirm the City Lord’s identity.

Sensing Liang Yu’s gaze, the City Lord gathered his flying swords around him, observed for a moment, and then spoke.

“I am Shangguan Ye, the City Lord of this city.”

“May I ask, esteemed sir, what is your intention in coming here?”

The two of them could stop and communicate calmly, but the monster on the other side did not have such leisure.

It felt the fear that the Light Emperor War Dragon brought it, but at the same time, it also smelled the pure fragrance from the other party, which made it overcome its instinctive fear and attack the Light Emperor War Dragon.

The Light Emperor War Dragon sensed the monster’s thoughts in its eyes, and being coveted by an ant made it extremely displeased, so it roared at it.

Liang Yu also sensed the Light Emperor War Dragon’s thoughts; he had originally wanted to look cool on the dragon’s head, but now he could only leave its body.
