Chapter 768 - 768 The Disciple of the Crown Prince, Bai Xiaozhuo (1)
768 The Disciple of the Crown Prince, Bai Xiaozhuo (1)
At this moment, the entire city was in turmoil, with winds howling and thunderous roars echoing from all directions.
The four-clawed golden dragon’s eyes gleamed with golden light. After looking at the Deputy Governor, it looked at the expressionless Seventh Prince.
The golden dragon fell silent, and a hint of sorrow could be seen in its eyes as it disappeared into the clouds. Only a resounding dragon’s roar echoed throughout the land, shattering the clouds, as if trying to bring brightness to the world and allow the sunlight to pour down.
Unfortunately, even though it was noon, the waves from the city still distorted the sky, causing the sky to be dim. This also caused the statue of the Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether to become dim, as though it was covered by dust.
Its hands were lifted as though it was embracing the tens of millions of terrified mortals in the city.
The gazes of the nonhumans flickered and they retreated one after another. This was the matter of the human race and they didn’t want to partic.i.p.ate in it at this moment.
Everyone was waiting.
They were waiting for the conclusion to be reached.
The Deputy Governor ultimately didn’t have the courage of Crown Prince Purple Green. He couldn’t bring himself to admit everything, and therefore, he chose to suppress the truth.
However, a crack had already formed in his heart.
That was caused by Xu Qing.
In the darkness of the sky and amidst the rumbling, the instant the Deputy Governor’s decree was issued, the puppet he summoned from the vortex erupted with the strength of a fourth stage Nihility cultivator and took a step toward Xu Qing.
Fourth stage Nihility was definitely not ordinary!
This level of cultivation could be described as extremely rare in the entire Fenghai County. Any one of them had an ill.u.s.trious reputation.
Such an existence was actually refined into a puppet. The horror represented by this was extremely astonishing.
This was especially so since the puppet’s face was badly mangled and his true appearance couldn’t be seen at all. His ident.i.ty became a mystery.
Almost at the instant the puppet walked over, lightning exploded and countless dao marks appeared above Qingqin, forming countless overlapping figures that transformed into endless small worlds that were like mountain ranges.
In the center was the puppet’s figure.
He lowered his head and looked at Xu Qing with lifeless eyes. With a lift of his hand, a terrifying aura that shook the heavens and earth surged forth, disregarding Qingqin as it rushed overwhelmingly toward Xu Qing.
Qingqin’s entire body trembled, and countless small worlds descended around it, as if containing some kind of law that could suppress foreign beings. It caused Qingqin to experience a momentary pause in its movements.
The Deputy Palace Master Li Yunshan, Deacon Sima, and Deacon Sun, were furious and anxious when faced with such a terrifying power. Although they weren’t the ones targeted, they couldn’t get close.
As for Xu Qing, the moment the vortex appeared and the puppet walked out, his thoughts had already scattered into his storage bag. At that moment, a huge severed arm suddenly appeared in front of him.
It was the item Xu Qing and the captain had obtained in the Immortal Forbidden. This was also one of the contingencies Xu Qing had prepared for himself in the confusion he had felt for the past twenty or so days.
The aura descended.
Amidst the rumbling, the severed arm shook and its flesh split open. Five of its fingers directly exploded and countless cracks appeared on the back of its palm. However, it didn’t collapse.
Within this short period, Qingqin broke free from the restraints and swung its right head, tossing the severed arm behind it. It then lifted its three heads and let out a sound that resounded through the clouds.
“Gah!”
This voice directly exploded many small world phantoms. Its body rushed out and headed straight for the puppet!
It had promised its big brother that it would protect Xu Qing in the county capital. It wasn’t willing to go to the front line but this was the county capital, its territory. And it liked the little guy who knew how to shoot light like it and had brought it to enjoy a feast.
Moreover, it had never seen anyone like Xu Qing, who could walk out calmly when the world was silent. Even though its cultivation was not as strong as the puppet’s, it still stepped forward to protect Xu Qing!
A rumbling sound erupted in the sky.
As for the severed arm that Xu Qing had fused into, it landed on the ground.
The Deputy Governor’s old servant charged toward the severed arm.
The Deputy Palace Master blocked the way and shouted.
“Retreat! This is a matter of my Sword Holding Palace!”
Just as the old servant narrowed his eyes, Deacon Sima and Deacon Sun quickly arrived.
At the same time, the figures of veteran Sword Holders quickly gathered around the severed arm.
This scene caused the surroundings to tremble. The subordinates of the Deputy Governor immediately rushed out and approached the severed arm, confronting the Sword Holders here.
At that moment, the sky and ground were at daggers drawn. The Deputy Governor on the platform looked at all of this with a disappointed expression as he spoke softly.
“Since the Sword Holding Palace is against the decree and isn’t willing to correct themselves, this old man will correct Brother Liangxiu’s edict bearer on his behalf.”
As he spoke, he took a step out of the platform and into the sky. He flicked his sleeve.
With half of the fortune gathered on him, he had reached the fourth stage of Nihility. The ground rumbled and countless cultivators had no choice but to retreat. It was the same for the Deputy Palace Master and the others.
The Deputy Governor’s old servant faced no more obstacles. With a sway of his body, he instantly appeared above the severed arm. A strange glint appeared in his eyes as he grabbed at the severed arm.
Everyone’s minds churned. The moment they were extremely anxious and furious, the captain’s entire body flickered with blue light. He lifted his right hand and pressed it against his forehead, wanting to tear something off. Suddenly, the old servant’s expression changed and his pupils contracted. He actually retreated.
A large golden net suddenly appeared in the sky.
Rumbling sounds filled the sky. The golden net filled the sky and enveloped the ground. It was adorned with shimmering lights, exuding a brilliant radiance.
After the war, everyone in Fenghai County recognized this phenomenon. This was… the Taboo magic treasure of the county capital.
