Chapter 098 – City Toppler - Part 2
Outside, autumn rains poured down from the grey sky, forming puddles that wagon wheels splashed through as they rolled into the inner district. Evening approached, and mud and water kicked up in all directions.
Li Yuan now carried the Horse Butcher on his back. After comprehending City Toppler, he’d developed a special attachment to the blade—like it was an extension of his own body. Leaving it behind felt as though he were tearing off a limb.
All this time, he’d encountered countless people and quite a few demonic beasts, yet not one of them, man or beast, surpassed him in Gemhill County.
Tie Sha’s peak power was 235, and he’d barely improved in the past year. That was already considered the highest ceiling in the county.
Most outsiders still saw Li Yuan as an eighth rank disciple, weaker than Zhao Chunxin and lately obsessed with taming to the neglect of his blade. Little did they know he was the true apex.
He no longer felt a need to hide. By any measure, he was truly capable of dominating Gemhill County. Since that was the case, there was no harm in easing up on being overly cautious.
Shortly, a carriage arrived outside the residence. Yan Yu, Xue Ning, and Nian Nian— who’d grown familiar with the place—stepped down together.
“Husband, you seem a bit different today,” Yan Yu said quietly.
“Different how?”
“You look...happy.”
“I’m smiling?”
“No. But I know you. Standing beside you, I can tell your mood right away.”
