Chapter 493: The Witch God Descends

Just as they were exerting themselves to attack, the speed at which the flower bud bloomed accelerated, and several more petals fully unfurled.

Suddenly, black rays of light shot out from the flower bud, striking Yu Wu’s Dragon War God.

The Dragon War God swayed violently, almost losing balance, but Yu Wu, with his seasoned experience, managed to barely stabilize it.

“Alas!”

Liang Yu sighed softly; this was indeed a fate he couldn’t escape, and he was about to blow his cover again.

Anyway, there was no difference whether he made his move sooner or later; once the thing inside came out, his cover was definitely not going to be maintained.

He just couldn’t understand, by creating a cover, who had he offended?

His cover’s lifespan wouldn’t exceed a day, and this time it was even worse—not even an hour!

Liang Yu stood in place, his gaze fixed on the black flower bud that was about to bloom, a hint of anticipation and determination flashing in his eyes.

He took a deep breath, deciding that he couldn’t hold back any longer; if he did, it would become an ocean.

He merely thought, and the Phantom Kirin God’s right hand shot out like lightning, grabbing fiercely at the void.

In an instant, a powerful force gathered in his hand, as if it wanted to tear apart the void.

Immediately after, two streaks of light, one black and one white, streaked across the sky like meteors, hurtling from above. These two streaks of light were incredibly fast, arriving in the Phantom Kirin God’s hand in the blink of an eye.

Upon closer inspection, these two streaks of light were actually smaller versions of the Mad Leopard God and the Tiger Roar God! They seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, landing precisely in the Phantom Kirin God’s hand.

With the arrival of the Mad Leopard God and the Tiger Roar God, they quickly combined and assembled, forming the hilt of the Heavenly Origin Sword.

This hilt was half pitch-black and half pure-white, engraved with mysterious patterns, emitting a chilling aura.

Liang Yu gripped the hilt of the Heavenly Origin Sword tightly, feeling the immense power contained within it.

The corners of his mouth curved slightly upward, revealing a confident smile, as if victory was already within his grasp.

Gripping the hilt, he swung it forward fiercely, his movement swift and powerful, like a bolt of lightning streaking across the night sky.

As he swung, the hilt emitted a faint humming sound, as if responding to his power.

Immediately after, the red sword body, like a burning flame, shone with dazzling light in the darkness.

Liang Yu gazed at the few remaining petals, a sense of urgency welling up in his heart.

He completely ignored Yu Wu, who was gaping in astonishment beside him, and resolutely held the Heavenly Origin Sword, rushing towards the black flower bud like an arrow loosed from a bowstring.

As he approached, the Heavenly Origin Sword in his hand seemed to sense its master’s determination; the flames on the sword body suddenly became even more dazzling, the raging inferno appearing as if it would ignite the entire world.

At the same time, the Phantom Kirin God within Liang Yu was completely activated; the Fire Cloud Skill, under his full exertion, surged like a mighty torrent, continuously providing immense power to the Heavenly Origin Sword.

At this moment, Liang Yu’s eyes held only the black flower bud; his goal was crystal clear—to cleave this mysterious flower bud with the Heavenly Origin Sword in his hand!

Just as the Phantom Kirin God pressed closer and closer, the previously tightly closed black flower bud suddenly trembled slightly, as if it had come to life.

This subtle change did not escape Liang Yu’s eyes; his heart tightened, and he immediately realized that whatever was hidden within this black flower bud might awaken prematurely.

Seeing this, Liang Yu dared not hesitate for a moment; the Heavenly Origin Sword in his hand instantly transformed into a red streak of light, striking directly at the black flower bud.

However, the black flower bud suddenly opened, and a powerful force surged out from within.

Just as the Heavenly Origin Sword was about to strike the black flower bud, something unexpected happened—a pale, bloodless hand, like a ghost, reached out from the flower bud and, with astonishing speed, accurately caught the descending Heavenly Origin Sword!

Yu Wu, who was nearby, felt an incredibly heavy pressure the moment that pale hand broke out of the black flower bud; the sudden oppressive force nearly made him unable to maintain the Dragon War God’s Super Beast Armor.

At the same time, the other two people in the city also sensed the anomaly here; they had, in fact, noticed it when the celestial phenomenon occurred.

However, they hadn’t perceived any danger, so they continued to deal with the people in front of them first.

It wasn’t until the appearance of that hand that they sensed danger, and now they were rushing towards this location regardless of anything else.

Liang Yu, on the other hand, wasn’t particularly afraid; he was very familiar with the aura carried by the hand that caught his Heavenly Origin Sword.

It was precisely the projection that Bai Hong had summoned underground, only he didn’t know if this descending one was the true body or a clone.

The opponent’s subsequent words also confirmed Liang Yu’s guess.

“Bai Hong is truly useless; he can’t even handle such a small matter.”

“He actually made me clean up his mess.”

Liang Yu had no time to bother with the opponent at this moment. You say what you want, I fight my fight—is this reasonable? This is very reasonable!!!

The tightly gripped Heavenly Origin Sword suddenly began to tremble, as if stimulated by a powerful force.

Immediately after, raging flames actually erupted around the sword body; these flames, as if alive, rapidly entwined themselves around the sword body.

This time, the flames were clearly more intense than before; they leaped and rolled, forming a scorching wall of fire.

In the blink of an eye, this wall of fire, like a fierce kirin, opened its gaping maw and lunged directly at the opponent.

The opponent clearly hadn’t anticipated the Heavenly Origin Sword suddenly erupting with such powerful force, those raging flames. In an instant, the flames, like a torrent, immediately engulfed the entire hand, then spread upwards along the arm, reaching the entire flower bud in the blink of an eye.

Liang Yu’s left hand was as swift as lightning; each swing brought forth a scorching Fire Cloud Skill, raining down on the target like raindrops.

His movements showed no pause, as if the Fire Cloud Skill had become a part of his body, releasing naturally.

Meanwhile, in the Phantom Kirin God’s control room, red warnings continuously popped up on the screen.

However, Liang Yu completely ignored them; his attention was entirely focused on the release of the Fire Cloud Skill, each fire cloud precisely hitting its target, triggering a series of explosions and flashes of fire.

Yu Wu, who was beside him, finally recovered at this point. Seeing the “City Lord’s” frantic actions and his own embarrassing performance just now made him wish he could find a hole to crawl into.

But now was not the time to crawl into a hole. Yu Wu adjusted his state and also launched an attack on the black flower bud in the smoke and dust.

Under Liang Yu’s relentless bombardment of Fire Cloud Skill, the celestial phenomenon above the flower bud actually began to dissipate.

This made Liang Yu feel very uneasy.
