Chapter 525 - 182: The Real Mysterious City, A Fruitful Harvest
"Lord Shen!"
Yao Long, leading numerous members of the Observatory, hurried before Shen Bai and bowed respectfully, his excitement palpable.
What had they just witnessed?
One move per man, Shen Bai had slain three Void Realm Peak cultivators in just three strikes.
These were Void Realm Peak experts, terrifyingly powerful beings. Yet in Shen Bai’s hands, they were like trash, effortlessly obliterated.
Yao Long couldn’t help but think, ’Lord Shen... he’s truly terrifying.’ He recalled that when Shen Bai had first arrived, he was just a Meridian Realm expert.
At the time, everyone thought Shen Bai was just there to build his credentials.
But as Shen Bai accomplished one feat after another, everyone’s opinion gradually changed.
Later, when Shen Bai became capable of defeating Void Realm cultivators despite his lower realm, they were all filled with immense awe for him.
But they all secretly believed that Shen Bai would still be at a disadvantage against a Void Realm Peak expert.
Today’s battle completely shattered that belief.
This wasn’t a disadvantage. This was the bearing of an invincible champion.
So what if you’re a Void Realm Peak expert, the top fighting force in Nanxing Prefecture?
In Lord Shen’s hands, you can’t even last more than a single move.
"This is the true peak of Nanxing Prefecture! The true might of the Prefecture Chief!"
The crowd couldn’t suppress their excitement; they felt the urge to cheer.
Seeing this, Shen Bai raised his hand and pressed it down. "Silence."
The Prefecture Chief’s word was the Observatory’s command.
As soon as Shen Bai spoke, everyone present fell silent.
Even though their eyes still shone with unconcealable excitement, they held it back.
Only then did Shen Bai look into the distance.
Red Makeup, dressed in red, moved with graceful steps, slowly approaching Shen Bai. She bowed slightly. "I am truly in awe of your might, Young Master."
Red Makeup had seen Shen Bai in action before, but she never imagined he could kill Void Realm Peak experts as easily as eating and drinking.
’No wonder that cat-eared Deceitful Beast said to trust everything about Master.’
In that moment, she finally understood what Amber had said.
Shen Bai said coolly, "You call me ’Young Master,’ which is all well and good, but I don’t particularly like that title. Learn from Amber."
Red Makeup froze for a moment, then pursed her lips and said, "Red Makeup greets you, Master."
The corners of Shen Bai’s mouth tilted up slightly.
’Since she’s a Deceitful Beast, calling me ’Young Master’ doesn’t make sense.’
"Take me to that General monstrosity," Shen Bai said.
The Demonic Forces had been dealt with. Now it was time to handle the monstrosities.
Shen Bai figured a little appetizer before killing the City Lord of Sunset City wouldn’t be a bad idea.
Red Makeup immediately nodded. "Please follow me, Master."
Now, Red Makeup would agree to anything Shen Bai said.
In the face of such overwhelming power, nothing else mattered.
Red Makeup even felt a small thrill of excitement in her heart.
’Since I’m a Deceitful Beast, of course I’d hope the person I’m contracted to is incomparably strong.’
’It seems Shen Bai is powerful enough. Life will be easier from now on.’
Yao Long and the others said nothing.
Although they all knew Red Makeup’s identity, as long as Shen Bai didn’t bring it up, they wouldn’t ask.
Right now, they were just machines for executing orders, little more than hangers-on to Shen Bai.
Then, without another word from Shen Bai, Red Makeup turned, her hips swaying as she led the way.
Shen Bai led Yao Long and the others away from the street.
...
General Street.
This was the strangest street in the Mysterious City.
Nothing was for sale here, and there was no noise. There were only figures of soldiers in armor, reeking of decay, standing on both sides of the street.
The soldiers looked no different from ordinary people, but the stench of decay clinging to them was nauseating.
Ancient, desolate, and utterly terrifying.
Outside the street, the sound of footsteps echoed.
The stiff soldiers turned their necks, their cold, dead eyes looking toward the street’s entrance.
Waves of Battlefield Qi erupted from their bodies, soaring into the sky.
"General Street. Trespassers are forbidden. Violators will be executed on the spot!"
A soldier who looked like a minor officer let out a sharp roar.
They raised their Weapons, ready to kill anyone who stepped onto the street.
But before they could even react, a blood-red Sword Qi multiplied into a myriad of blades, raining down upon General Street.
Every single strand of Sword Qi was like a catastrophe.
Armor shattered, and the street was destroyed.
Within a few breaths, not a single soldier remained. There was only a field of ruins.
Red Makeup stared at Shen Bai, sword in hand, the astonishment in her eyes growing.
’So... reckless?’
’He didn’t even make a plan beforehand? He just wiped them out with a single sword attack?’
’So this is Master’s style... I guess... it’s pretty good too.’
"It’s coming out."
Shen Bai held Cold Moon, his gaze calm.
After General Street was reduced to rubble, the scene before them began to change.
A two-meter-tall figure clad in armor rose from the ruins.
The General monstrosity held a long spear, its entire body radiating killing intent and resentment.
An icy aura enveloped everything around it, and layers of frost formed on the ground.
Shen Bai said, "After I kill this one, only the City Lord will be left."
Cold Moon streaked through the air, leaving a trail of light.
As Cold Moon flashed, the General monstrosity roared and thrust its long spear straight at Shen Bai.
The terrifying long spear, imbued with an icy aura, seemed to carry the entire street’s ruins with it as it crashed down toward Shen Bai.
The General monstrosity was using the street as its weapon, attempting to grind Shen Bai into dust.
A blood-red Sword Qi bloomed like a flower of death.
At Shen Bai’s hand, the incoming torrent of rubble dissolved into endless nothingness.
The Sword Qi descended with peerless might, shredding everything in its path.
It pulverized the General monstrosity before him, leaving only ruin in its wake.
