Chapter 5517 Slaying City Lord, Destroying City
As Evilmoon plunged into the ground, its blade flared with countless sinister runes, and the entire city quaked violently.
All the experts within the city were aghast, unable to believe that a youngster of the human race could possess such a terrifying divine weapon.
What made matters worse was the vulnerability of the city’s defenses, which had been designed to repel external threats. Against Long Chen’s attack from within, they were powerless. If they let Long Chen release Evilmoon’s power, then the city would really be destroyed.
The void quivered, revealing a large furious elder. He was the city lord—a Divine Emperor in title, yet his Blood Qi was in permanent decline. Compared to the patriarchs of the Dragon Domain, his might was pitiful. With his lifespan nearing its end, even being sealed away wouldn’t extend his life by more than a century.
Moments ago, he had sneered at Long Chen, failing to perceive the threat he posed. Perhaps his declining vitality had dulled his senses.
“You wanted me to try it, so I’m trying it. Why tell me to stop now?” Long Chen sneered, his grip on Evilmoon tightening.
Evilmoon’s power rapidly rose, with no intention of stopping.
“Are you mad? If you destroy my Heaven Demon City, the demon race will annihilate you—and not just you! Your sect, your family, everyone connected to you will be wiped out by the Heaven Demon Alliance!” bellowed the elder.
“Your Heaven Demon City? Hah! What a joke!” Long Chen’s laughter echoed coldly. “This city was built brick by brick by humans. After you stole it, you dare claim it as your own? And now you threaten me? Do you not know that Boss Long San doesn’t take threats lightly?”
A fiery killing intent surged in Long Chen’s eyes. He loathed being threatened, especially when the threats extended to his loved ones.
At first, Long Chen had intended only to intimidate them. After all, he still needed to use the city’s transportation formation. However, the elder’s threats ignited his wrath, and restraint was no longer an option.
“Anyone who doesn’t want to die, get the fuck out. I’ll give you until the count of three. If you’re still here, you’ll perish alongside this city. Even if the human race couldn’t protect it, I won’t allow animals like you to sully it!” shouted Long Chen.
“One!”
Long Chen directly started counting, causing countless experts to flee in a panic. Long Chen’s sharp gaze and the apocalyptic aura surging out of Evilmoon terrified them.
Yet some demon race experts hesitated, forming a blockade around Long Chen as if preparing to attack.
“Stop! If you cease now, I won’t kill you! We can pretend none of this happened!” shouted the woman from the Heaven Demon Divine Phoenix race, her expression ugly.
She had not expected Long Chen to be so gutsy, openly challenging the Heaven Demon Alliance.
As the woman was accustomed to commanding people because of her high status, even her attempt to persuade Long Chen carried the tone of an order.
Long Chen ignored her and continued counting, “Two!”
“Courting death!”
Furious, the woman waved her hand, and one of the original true feathers adorning her head materialized in her grasp, radiating dazzling divine light.
However, just as she was about to attack, senior apprentice-brother Ling took the initiative and swung his sword at Long Chen.
However, just as his Sword Qi was about to land, a black barrier materialized around Long Chen, reflecting the attack effortlessly.
Struck by his own Sword Qi, senior apprentice-brother Ling directly turned to dust.
“Three!”
Long Chen’s final count rang out as Evilmoon plunged deeper into the ground, unleashing its wrath.
BOOM!
The earth shattered, and a violent surge of energy erupted, sending shockwaves rippling through the city. The woman barely had a chance to react before being swept away like a leaf in a storm.
With his frail Blood Qi burning in desperation, the city lord tried to intervene but was similarly hurled aside. As for the others, they didn’t have the slightest ability to resist at all.
Weaker demon race members, some of whom had arrogantly stayed to show off their loyalty, were obliterated—reduced to mere blood mist.
Nothing could halt the destructive wave. Buildings crumbled, ancient formations collapsed, and in mere moments, the once-prosperous city was reduced to a wasteland of dust and rubble. Numerous wretched figures came flying out of the devastation.
Those who had fled in advance stared in shock at this sight, their jaws dropping in disbelief.
Amidst the swirling debris, Long Chen and Yue Zifeng stood tall. Meanwhile, the disciples of the High Heaven Sword God Sect lay dead, wiped out by the surge of violent energy.
Sword cultivators possessed immense offensive power, but their physical bodies were notoriously fragile. It was utterly foolish of them to stay, believing they could halt Long Chen’s advance.
In the end, it wasn’t Long Chen who killed them—it was their own arrogance and inexperience. For all their strength, they lacked the wisdom to recognize when to retreat. Perhaps they had never faced a true battle in the real world.
With a single attack, Long Chen had obliterated the ancient city.
“Damn human! I will tear you into a million pieces!”
A thunderous roar pierced the chaos as the city lord’s dwindling Blood Qi erupted. His manifestation unfurled behind him, and he charged at Long Chen recklessly.
At the same time, the woman from the Heaven Demon Divine Phoenix race stepped forward. Her original true feather, now glowing with radiant divine light, shone in her hand like a beacon of destruction.
“Wavecutter.”
In an instant, a single sword-light streaked through the air like a bolt of lightning, cutting the city lord in half along with his manifestation.
BOOM!
At the same time, Long Chen clashed with the woman. Evilmoon collided with her original true feather, unleashing a deafening explosion. A divine phoenix’s cry echoed across the sky as seven-colored divine light rippled outward.
A hazy, towering image of a divine phoenix appeared in the air.
The impact forced Long Chen back seven steps, a faint ache radiating through his abdomen. The power of this original true feather far exceeded his expectations.
However, the woman from the Heaven Demon Divine Phoenix race fared no better. She was sent hurtling backward, barely managing to stabilize herself. Her hand, which tightly gripped the true feather, was bleeding profusely.
Long Chen rested Evilmoon on his shoulder and fixed her with a cold, piercing gaze. He didn’t say a word, but his silence was more chilling than any threat.
Beside him, Yue Zifeng calmly sheathed his sword. The city lord’s lifeless body fell to the ground with a dull thud.
Around them, the battlefield fell into an eerie, suffocating silence.
