No One Can Save You

The thousands of Void True Gods who had fallen to the ground were terrified. They saw their commander, Qian Yu, being caught by a single hand, and their hearts were filled with fear.

"How can this Lord Luo He be so powerful? Even with the help of the mechanical treasure 'Ziyu Hou,' we couldn't stand against him. Without 'Ziyu Hou,' he'd probably just need to blow a breath, and we'd all be dead!" These Void True Gods instinctively retreated to a distance, some even trying to hide among groups of other guests.

Usually, while patrolling Huyang City, they held a prestigious status as members of the Huyang Guard. But now, all they wished was that Luo He wouldn't direct his anger at them.

Mei Wuqi, who had also fallen, couldn't believe it: "This is one of the ten mechanical treasures of the Huyang Guard, the 'Ziyu Hou.' How could it be pierced through with just one palm?"

"It's over. It's all over."

As disbelief filled his heart, Mei Wuqi didn't hesitate. He began burning his divine power and desperately tried to flee for his life!

Never in his life had he fled so frantically.

"Whoosh." A gigantic hand swept over in an instant, enveloping Mei Wuqi.

"No—" Mei Wuqi pulled out a staff-like weapon, which crackled with lightning as he tried to fend off the massive hand. But as soon as the giant hand touched him, it caught him, and the staff couldn't even scratch Luo He's palm.

Luo Feng stood still, his hands returning to their normal size, holding Qian Yu and Mei Wuqi, whose bodies had been reduced to small toy-like figures.

At that moment, Jiang Chengyou, Zhu You, the Pavilion Master, and many guests, including Luo Feng's servant Mo Yu Qing Yan, watched in stunned silence. The scene before them was too shocking, leaving a deep impact on their minds.

"I originally planned to kill only Mei Wuqi, but now I've caught two," Luo Feng said, looking down at the tiny figures in his hands.

"Luo He, I am a commander of the Huyang Guard! Are you planning to kill a Huyang Guard commander here in Huyang City?" Qian Yu looked up at the massive figure of Luo Feng.

"Lord Luo He, I was wrong, I was wrong, it's all my fault!" Mei Wuqi, now terrified beyond measure, quickly pleaded, "I am willing to make amends, whatever you need, I'll do it. Just spare my life."

Both Qian Yu and Mei Wuqi were deeply anxious at this moment.

...

Meanwhile, the five great families of the City Lord's Mansion were also in a state of panic. They were monitoring the entire city, and since Luo Feng hadn't used a small-scale universe domain to block detection, they could clearly see everything happening.

They saw how Luo Feng had pierced through the mechanical treasure 'Ziyu Hou' with a single hand.

"What a powerful Luo He!"

"He can easily overpower 'Ziyu Hou.'"

"What do we do now? He has already captured Qian Yu and Mei Wuqi." The high-ranking members of the five great families knew the situation was critical.

"Commander Mo Li, we need you to step in."

"At this point, only you, Commander Mo Li, can stop Luo He."

The high-ranking officials of the City Lord's Mansion immediately sent a message to Mo Li Xiao.

"I'm not the right person for this," Mo Li Xiao flatly refused.

Mo Li Xiao held a position so high that even the City Lord couldn't force him to act.

With no other options, the officials of the City Lord's Mansion dispatched one of the Huyang armies, the 'Black Underworld Army,' to take action.

"I can act, but I can't guarantee that I'll stop Luo He," responded General Qiu Yi of the Black Underworld Army.

"Hurry, hurry, get moving," the officials urged.

...

Back at the Dream Flower Pavilion, the many onlookers watched from afar, not daring to get involved. They feared incurring the wrath of the five great families.

In Huyang City, the five great families were like gods!

Luo Feng's actions at this moment were indeed provoking them.

Luo Feng looked down at the two small figures in his hands. "Qian Yu, I discovered that in the evidence against Mei Wuqi, your name appears multiple times. You helped him capture True Gods, you helped him clean up the mess, you did a lot for him."

Qian Yu was shocked.

As an Eternal True God who served the Mei Wu family, he had indeed done a lot of dirty work for them. He had helped Mei Wuqi capture many True Gods because Mei Wuqi was often careless in his actions, which led to problems.

"Mei Wuqi, oh Mei Wuqi, if you wanted to massacre True Gods, you should have done it secretly. Why did you have to take so many people to tour your 'City of Sin,' making it known throughout Huyang City? Now you've brought this Lord Luo He upon us and made me suffer too," Qian Yu thought bitterly.

"As an accomplice of Mei Wuqi, according to the laws of the Yu Nation, you must also be executed," Luo Feng said.

"Lord Luo He, I know you hate evil. I'm just a subordinate, just a servant of the Mei Wu family," Qian Yu pleaded urgently. "I also grew up step by step from a wild tribe, please spare my life. I promise I won't be an accomplice again. The True Gods I captured in the past were all on Mei Wuqi's orders."

"Qian Yu, I didn't dare openly capture so many True Gods. It was you who came up with the ideas, you who helped me. Now you're pushing all the blame onto me," Mei Wuqi shouted, "Lord Luo He, I—"

Luo Feng, with a mere exertion of divine power, silenced Mei Wuqi by sealing his voice.

"Qian Yu, I'm telling you this so that you can die with a clear understanding," Luo Feng said as he applied a little pressure with his hand, destroying Qian Yu's True God heart.

Qian Yu's eyes widened, filled with a sense of injustice.

He had struggled and climbed his way up to become one of the ten commanders of the Huyang Guard, only to encounter this utterly ruthless and terrifyingly powerful 'Lord Luo He' who disregarded the face of the five great families. In the end, he was caught up in this mess and lost his life here!

"Whoosh." Luo Feng quickly stored Qian Yu's corpse in the Star Tower.

The body needed to be properly preserved, not wasted.

Seeing this, Morosa immediately grinned and sent a mental message, "Thank you, Master. Please also keep Mei Wuqi's body for me. His bloodline must be extraordinary, and absorbing it will surely be beneficial."

Master and servant were both remarkably calm.

But the surrounding onlookers, including Mei Wuqi, who was still in Luo Feng's other hand, were anything but calm!

"He actually killed him!"

"A commander of the Huyang Guard, just killed like that?"

Zhu You, Jiang Chengyou, the Pavilion Master, Mo Yu Qing Yan, and the many guests held their breath. Even the thousands of Void True God-level Huyang Guards in the distance were trembling.

"This Lord Luo He is not to be trifled with."

"Lord Luo He has a casual attitude toward life and death. When he decides to act, he does so without hesitation!"

"I've heard of such fierce characters who dare to kill even royalty and members of the great Chaos clans. Now I've seen it for myself."

The guests at the Dream Flower Pavilion, who usually came from various powerful factions within the city, were now carefully observing the situation and quickly relaying what they saw back to their respective factions.

The onlookers had their thoughts, but Mei Wuqi, who was caught in Luo Feng's hand, was genuinely panicking!

Watching his accomplice, Qian Yu, die right before his eyes, Mei Wuqi could feel death closing in on him. He was desperate. "Lord Luo He, as long as you spare me, anything is negotiable. I'll do whatever you ask."

"Boom—" A terrifying wave of energy suddenly descended.

Luo Feng looked up to see a massive spherical fortress appearing in the night sky. The fortress resembled a black hole, absorbing energy and light, exuding a fearsome presence.

"The Black Underworld Army, one of the ten armies of Huyang." Luo Feng recognized the arrival.

The Huyang armies were much stronger than the Huyang Guard.

While the Huyang Guard's 'Ziyu Hou' was only on par with the Blood Python President, the Huyang armies were much more powerful. Any one of the Huyang armies could easily suppress the Blood Python President in a head-on battle.

Suppression was easy; killing was harder.

It was only because Luo Feng had encountered the Blood Python President that he couldn't escape.

"Lord Luo He, please stop," said a three-eyed face that appeared on the surface of the spherical fortress. "Mei Wuqi is an Eternal True God of the Mei Wu family. Even if he violated the law, the City Lord's Mansion must pass judgment. You cannot act."

"Will the City Lord's Mansion sentence him to death?" Luo Feng asked.

The three-eyed face on the fortress responded, "Lord Luo He, you've caused too much of a stir. The City Lord's Mansion can't be too biased. Even if Mei Wuqi doesn't die, he will face severe punishment."

"Severe punishment isn't enough. He must die," Luo Feng grinned, looking at Mei Wuqi in his palm.

"Spare me, spare me," Mei Wuqi pleaded desperately.

"Lord Luo He, you've already killed a commander of the Huyang Guard in the city without a trial from the City Lord's Mansion. If you publicly execute an Eternal True God from one of the five great families, you're trampling on the face of the five great families! You need to consider the consequences," the three-eyed face on the fortress said.

"What consequences?" Luo Feng replied casually, "General Qiu Yi of the Black Underworld Army, today, Mei Wuqi must die. If you try to stop me, you'd better consider the consequences yourself."

The three-eyed face on the fortress looked at the remains of the shattered 'Ziyu Hou' and understood what would happen if he tried to intervene.

Qian Yu had tried to stop Luo Feng.

Qian Yu had died.

"This Luo He is too fierce. His power is likely on par with Xue Yun," General Qiu Yi thought to himself. He had crossed paths with Xue Yun, the leader of the Shi Kingdom forces, and knew how formidable he was.

The City Lord's Mansion had tried everything, with Mo Li Xiao personally taking action and even mobilizing the grand array of Huyang City. Despite engaging Xue Yun multiple times, they had never been able to take him down.

And now...

General Qiu Yi felt that this Luo He might be just as powerful as Xue Yun.

Even if multiple armies were mobilized under Mo Li Xiao's command, they probably couldn't hold Luo He!

General Qiu Yi thought, "This Mei Wuqi is too reckless. He committed heinous crimes and even flaunted them, bringing many Eternal True Gods to witness his 'City of Sin.' Now it's brought about this disaster."

"General Qiu Yi, save me, save me," Mei Wuqi cried out from Luo Feng's hand.

"He's watching you, and the City Lord's Mansion is watching you too," Luo Feng said, looking down at the terrified Mei Wuqi in his hand. "But no one can save you now. Whoever dares to try, I'll kill them too. Anyone who tries to save you deserves to die as well."

Luo Feng's words were deliberate and firm.

All the onlookers heard his words, and the high-ranking officials monitoring from the City Lord's Mansion also heard them. Some were angry, some were grim, and some simply sighed.

But no one intervened.

"Die," Luo Feng said as he stared at Mei Wuqi in his palm. An invisible illusion engulfed Mei Wuqi's consciousness, filled with terror.

This illusion was one of Luo Feng's deadly techniques from mastering the "Nine Phantoms Realm," an ultimate technique known as the "Nine Phantoms Kill." The vast illusion was constructed with Luo Feng's mind and will, which had reached the peak of the Chaos Sovereign level, and its power was unimaginable.

Mei Wuqi, who had risen to power through accumulated resources, had a fragile mind and will. He was immediately and completely overwhelmed.

"Aren't you fond of torturing countless beings? Now, you can experience that for yourself. Do you still enjoy it when you're the one being tortured?" With a single thought, Luo Feng placed Mei Wuqi into the Star Tower.

In one of the empty spaces within the Star Tower, Mei Wuqi lay trembling in pain and fear. Having lived a life of luxury and indulgence, his mind couldn't withstand the assault of the "Nine Phantoms Kill" illusion. Under Luo Feng's perfect control of his divine power, the torment was far too much.

In just over ten breaths, Mei Wuqi's consciousness shattered, and he died.

"His mind and will were indeed weak," Luo Feng noted as he observed the process. Mei Wuqi's fragile state didn't surprise him.

...

Back at the Dream Flower Pavilion.

"Mei Wuqi is dead," said the Pavilion Master, Zhu You, and Jiang Chengyou, who had all just received a notification from the Dark Hall of the Yan Feng Pavilion regarding the completion of a new bounty.

The bounty on Mei Wuqi's head had been a mere 20,000 Cosmic Sand! The five great families had never paid much attention to this bounty.

But now, the bounty had been completed.

The Yan Feng Pavilion confirmed... Mei Wuqi was dead!

"He actually killed Mei Wuqi," Zhu You and the others were filled with mixed emotions.

Among the five great families, each family had about ten Eternal True Gods. These approximately 50 Eternal True Gods, with their extraordinary bloodlines, were the core elite ruling Huyang City.

And Mei Wuqi was one of them.

Luo Feng killing a Huyang Guard commander was already a serious offense. But by killing Mei Wuqi, he had undoubtedly shaken the other high-ranking members. If he could kill Mei Wuqi today, what would stop him from killing them tomorrow?

"Lord Luo He, I couldn't stop you," the three-eyed face on the fortress in the sky sighed. "But you've made a grave mistake by killing Mei Wuqi!"

"Tell the five great families that if they want to make a move, let them come. I'll take them all on!" Luo Feng shouted toward the sky.

The spherical fortress said no more. An invisible force gathered the remnants of the shattered 'Ziyu Hou,' collected them, and then vanished through a void in space.

Luo Feng watched it disappear.

"Everything's been taken care of. That feels good." Luo Feng smiled as he walked toward Zhu You. "Brother Zhu You, do you have the courage to continue drinking with me?"
