Chapter 5300: 5.1052 Annihilation
The Third City Lord's heart trembled slightly, and he instinctively tried to dodge backward.
The urgent roar of the Second City Lord came to his ears. As the Third City Lord took a heavy step, he clearly felt his entire body seemed to be frozen, suspended in mid-air.
He only managed one step before his entire figure was completely immobilized.
Five or six immobilization talismans faintly appeared in mid-air around him; the young man had already sealed off his escape route when he made his move.
The Third City Lord stared at the young man in surprise.
In the cold wind, under the night sky, this young emperor's face was terrifyingly calm.
His long hair gently swayed against the wind.
His bright, sparkling eyes stared straight at him, emanating a terrifying aura of death.
"Whoosh!"
The Demon Emperor's Flame materialized into a fire spirit arrow, reaching the Third City Lord in the blink of an eye, almost in a single breath. It forcefully pierced directly through the Third City Lord's chest, which was completely unable to move.
"Third Brother!!!" The Second City Lord's desperate scream came from behind.
He staggered forward, barely managing to block a fierce combined attack from Prince Rong and Young Master Qi Ba.
The Second City Lord ultimately couldn't withstand it, and his body suddenly crashed to the ground.
When he looked up.
He saw a burst of crimson flowers explode from the Third City Lord's chest. In an instant, the entire person seemed to be ignited by fireworks, glowing with bright flames.
The Third City Lord was set ablaze from head to toe, like a human mushroom, with a mushroom cloud erupting from his head...
And then there was nothing.
His body was burned to charcoal by the silver-white flame.
In a mere moment, within that understated, flameless blaze, he turned into a handful of ashes, scattering in all directions.
"Third Brother!" The Second City Lord cried out, lying on the ground with tears streaming down his face.
His hateful gaze fell upon Duan Yue, an expression of extreme hatred, as if wishing he could devour his bones and flesh.
The high and mighty Emperor merely glanced indifferently at the Third Brother, who had turned to ashes.
That gaze was like looking at a small ant crawling on the ground, filled with unparalleled arrogance, supreme disdain, and endless ruthlessness.
The Second City Lord forcefully pounded the ground, then stumbled and struggled to his feet.
He leaned heavily on a black spear to prevent himself from falling.
The remaining dozen or so City of Shadows disciples, some pale-faced, others filled with dread, huddled beside the Second City Lord, trembling and panic-stricken.
To them, the casually dressed Emperor of Cangzhou, despite his handsome appearance, was as dark and terrifying as a ghost.
He had resolved their Third City Lord with a single strike!
Among all the people present, who could be his opponent?
No one had the power to fight him!
They all knew the Third City Lord's strength very well.
To be able to crush the Third City Lord with a single blow, like crushing an ant, this person's strength must be above the Profound Venerable Realm, right?
To send a group of mere Divine Realm subordinates to deal with a Super Divine Realm powerhouse.
A hint of sorrow, like that of a rabbit dying and a fox lamenting its loss, arose in the hearts of all the City of Shadows disciples.
Facing a Super Divine Realm expert, no matter how much they struggled, they could not escape death.
"The entire City of Shadows, for colluding with Tianyun and harming the brethren of the three prefectures, your sins are unforgivable, and you deserve to die a thousand deaths." Duan Yue's cold voice echoed indistinctly in the dark night.
He waved his hand, a faint hint of mockery playing on his lips.
