Chapter 5307: Unexpected Turn

Young Master Qi Ba was stunned, raising a hand to cover his face. "Young Master, look quickly, did His Majesty just snatch the Fire Glaze from those corpse puppets?"

Young Master Rong nodded expressionlessly. "You're right."

"Good grief, this peculiar Emperor's actions are truly comical."

"Those poor corpse puppets didn't even get a chance to detonate their Fire Glaze; it was all snatched away from them..."

"To even snatch things from corpses, he truly lives up to his reputation as our willful Emperor!"

"They're dirty," Duan Yue muttered to himself, displeased by the thought of the disgusting corpse puppets touching the items. "How unlucky!"

Duan Yue tossed the handful of glaze beads into the air, raised his hand, and conjured a swirl of silver flames to envelop them.

A moment later, he casually wiped his hand, removing the flames from the glaze beads.

Through the barrier, everyone saw clearly.

The previously transparent glaze beads now emitted a faint, golden glow, each perfectly round and luminous, almost reflecting their own images.

City Lord Madam Zhuo Yan, who had been worrying, silently closed her mouth, her voice a little hoarse. "His Majesty of Cangzhou's actions are truly unexpected."

Could it be that he just refined these Fire Glaze orbs with his bare hands?

Judging by the scene, these explosive devices, after being re-refined, seemed even more dazzling, likely far more powerful than before.

Young Master Rong and the others chuckled, wanting to tell Madam Mu that she wasn't the only one thinking this way; they also found their Emperor's actions quite eccentric...

Duan Yue took out a box and unceremoniously dropped the glaze beads inside.

His rather rough handling made outsiders feel a little apprehensive.

He truly was a grandmaster when it came to fire, showing no concern that the items might explode in his hands.

Having finished this, Duan Yue tossed the box back into his inner dimension, then swiftly leaped into the midst of the corpse puppets.

He raised his hand and tapped the head of one of the corpse puppets with his purple shadow dagger.

In an instant, everyone saw the group of stiff, unmoving corpse puppets surrounding him suddenly crumble into fine dust, dissolving into the wind.

Duan Yue stood amidst the wind-blown dust, his eyes calm as he looked on.

Due to the surrounding air currents, not a single speck of the dispersed dust touched him.

From beginning to end, he remained incredibly composed and serene, as if he hadn't just instantly obliterated a dozen corpse puppets with a single move, resolving a Fire Glaze crisis.

Zhuo Yan and the others' mouths dropped open, and for a moment, they were speechless.

Heaven and Earth bore witness: it was the first time they had ever seen someone, with the power of just their hand, cause a group of corpse puppets to turn into ash.

The most shocking part was that the powerful Fire Glaze, in his hands, was like a mere toy, manipulated at his whim.

A bitter feeling resurfaced in Zhuo Yan's heart, and she shook her head, utterly speechless.

What kind of powerful enemy had Shadow City truly provoked?

Mu Jinghong had been far too confident in himself.

Little did he know, this world had long since become the domain of those exceptionally talented young individuals.

Duan Yue removed the defensive barrier, waved his hand, and his gaze fell on Zhuo Yan. He offered a slight smile, "Madam Mu, if you please."

Zhuo Yan's heart subtly relaxed. She understood very clearly that this meant the Emperor had accepted her pledge of allegiance and was willing to spare her two children.

She couldn't help but feel fortunate; if she hadn't made the Heavenly Dao Blood Oath so decisively, she might have had to explain for who knows how long to convince him.
