Chapter 504: Are there any experts? ?

Shangguan Ye waved his right hand, and a dazzling red light instantly lit up in his palm.

The red light was like a burning flame, scorching and dazzling.

Immediately after, as Shangguan Ye raised his hand, streaks of Fire Cloud Skill shot out from his hand, like burning meteors, fiercely striking the main trunk of the Giant Tree.

At this moment, Shangguan Ye was like a madman, his handsome face filled with frenzy.

“Kill! Kill! Kill!!!!”

He kept shouting from his mouth.

As the word “kill” was shouted, the power of each Fire Cloud Skill unleashed was immense, and the shockwave generated by the explosion stirred up a strong wind, blowing the surrounding branches and leaves in all directions.

Under this storm-like fierce attack, the huge tree began to tremble incessantly, as if it were a wounded giant groaning in pain.

Each attack was like a heavy hammer striking the tree trunk, emitting a dull thud, and the struck areas were quickly enveloped in thick smoke.

The burning smoke rising became thicker and thicker, forming a thick black smoke screen that completely obscured Shangguan Ye’s vision.

He could barely see anything, only relying on memory and feeling to continue his attacks.

However, despite facing such difficult circumstances, Shangguan Ye’s movements did not falter in the slightest.

His speed of attack did not slow down by half; instead, it became even faster, like lightning.

Each strike carried immense power and precision, accurately hitting the vital parts of the Giant Tree.

Just as Hui Nian could no longer bear to watch and was about to stop Shangguan Ye, something unexpected suddenly happened.

The Golden Body Chan Master that enveloped Hui Nian began to slowly dissipate, as if being eroded by an invisible force.

This sudden turn of events left Hui Nian stunned; he widened his eyes, watching the scene before him in disbelief.

Before he could react, the Golden Body Chan Master, which had shrunk by several sizes, dissipated like smoke in an instant, vanishing without a trace, as if it had never existed.

This sudden change caught him completely off guard; he stood there dazed, eyes wide, his face filled with an expression of disbelief, his mind blank, completely unaware of what had happened.

Liang Yu looked at his teammates, one after another, turning into this state, feeling truly exhausted, and for some reason, he had a feeling of being unable to carry them.

But he also didn’t consider how long he had been slacking off.

His teammates were fighting, he was slacking; his teammates were contending with gods, he was still slacking; even when his teammates were fighting for their lives, he, Liang, was still slacking, being a hidden player.

This time, he instantly appeared beside Hui Nian and, while he wasn’t paying attention, placed the quantum protective device behind him.

With this device, at least he wouldn’t be instantly killed at full health, and he could still try to save him then.

Just then, Liang Yu noticed a very large commotion not far away.

At that location, Liang Yu detected a Survivor through the Emperor Magnetic Field.

However, due to the sudden events with Shangguan Ye, he had no time to rescue that Survivor.

But now, it seemed the situation had changed somewhat.

That Survivor apparently did not need Liang Yu’s rescue; he was actually able to break free from the entanglement of branches and vines by his own strength.

Just as Liang Yu’s attention was still focused elsewhere, he suddenly felt an unusual aura approaching him.

He snapped back to reality, looked intently, and found that the other party was walking directly towards him.

As the other party gradually approached, a strange sense of unease welled up in Liang Yu’s heart.

He stared at the other party, trying to catch some clues from his body.

Just then, his brows furrowed slightly, because he sensed a faint, almost imperceptible trace of resentment emanating from the other party.

Although this trace of resentment was very weak, Liang Yu, as an experienced person, was very sensitive to this kind of aura.

He immediately realized that this suddenly appearing person was likely not well-intentioned and might bring him some trouble.

Recalling carefully, he seemed to have no prior acquaintance with the other party, and there was no intersection between them.

Moreover, this was his first time in this city, and the two had never had a chance to meet, let alone have any friction or conflict.

So, if the other party wasn’t coming for him, who could his target be?

Just as Liang Yu was pondering, suddenly, a dazzling streak of light, like lightning, shot past, heading straight for Shangguan Ye, who was still in a state of madness.

This streak of light was extremely fast, like a meteor streaking across the sky, catching people off guard.

However, in that instant, Liang Yu keenly perceived that this action of the other party did not carry any killing intent.

Since that was the case, Liang Yu’s heart settled slightly, and he decided to temporarily ignore these two people and continue to observe the development of the situation.

Soon, an unkempt, bearded Tattered Man appeared beside Shangguan Ye.

He recognized that the person before him was the city lord of their city, and most of the resentment on his body had dissipated.

The Tattered Man looked at Shangguan Ye before him and muttered to himself.

“Alas!”

“It’s fate. Although you broke my sweet dream, I can’t just ignore you.”

“Consider it me repaying that kindness on behalf of the people of the whole city.”

Just as the Tattered Man slowly raised his dirty hand, as if to perform some astonishing act towards Shangguan Ye, time seemed to suddenly freeze.

Shangguan Ye’s body was as if bound by an invisible force, completely losing the ability to move, and even simple actions like blinking became extremely difficult.

And that hand, which was originally raised, now seemed to have a will of its own, slowly extending its index and middle fingers, like two slender magic wands, pointing directly at Shangguan Ye’s forehead.

These two fingers trembled slightly in the air, as if accumulating some mysterious power.

“Wake up.”

The two words spoken by the Tattered Man were not loud and very gentle, but they still reached the ears of Liang Yu and Hui Nian.

The moment the Tattered Man slowly withdrew his hand, a glimmer of light suddenly flashed in Shangguan Ye’s originally somewhat bewildered eyes, as if struck by a bolt of lightning.

His gaze gradually became clear, no longer as frantic as before.

As time passed, Shangguan Ye’s eyes became sharper and sharper, like mountains shrouded in morning mist, gradually revealing their true contours under the sunlight.

His eyes revealed an unprecedented clarity, as if everything had vanished into thin air at this moment.

It was clear that Shangguan Ye had indeed been awakened by this Tattered Man.
