Chapter 337: The Execution
Amidst the rubble of what was once the Larson family’s mansion with the corpse of the Cerberus, the Blue Dragon Battalion remains on guard, securing the area. Now, additional cultivators from the imperial family have arrived to assist in clearing the remains of the Cerberus. The lingering death aura from the corpse is still strong and intimidating, but they attempt to suppress it using their elemental energy.
There are three Middle Emperor Stage cultivators in the area who are also helping to secure the site and attempting to cleanse it of the lingering death energy from the Cerberus’s corpse. However, they are quite overwhelmed by the remnants of this energy due to its immense strength. Every time they try to suppress it with their own elemental energy, their energy is immediately erased.
The corrosive nature of the death energy is truly terrifying, and this is the first time they have encountered anything like it. As a result, the corpse remains in place, as they are unable to move it to a safer location.
Not far from the corpse, Commander Shang observes the operation. Beside him stand two other Middle Emperor Stage cultivators, both from the imperial family but belonging to different knight orders.
One of them has a large, muscular build and carries a greatsword on his back. His appearance is truly intimidating, making people instinctively avoid him upon meeting him. He is Viktor, one of the commanders of the imperial family.
The other is a handsome young man with long black hair. He exudes a serene aura and is the type who prefers not to stand out. He is Alexi, also one of the commanders of the imperial family.
"How in the world did the mysterious swordsman defeat a being like this?" Viktor asked. Even though he had a larger build than everyone else here, he couldn’t help but feel a chill in the presence of the Cerberus’s corpse.
"With just one slash. If you had seen it firsthand, you would have been amazed by its power and elegance. I’m telling you, he is truly strong—perhaps the only one capable of comprehending a divine technique," Commander Shang replied.
Alexi remained silent, gazing at the corpse. However, he shared the same sentiment as Viktor—this beast’s corpse exuded an intimidating presence even in death. He could only imagine how powerful it had been when it was still alive.
Commander Shang continued observing the corpse when he suddenly noticed someone standing on top of it. The other two commanders saw the figure as well, followed by many others in the area. They were stunned—none of them had sensed this person’s presence until now, when he suddenly appeared atop the corpse.
But then, Commander Shang felt a sense of familiarity with the figure. A moment later, he recalled the back of the mysterious swordsman. This figure had the same posture as that swordsman.
