Chapter 1125 - 1123: The City Lord’s Escape

Wang Zhan hesitated for a moment, finally shaking his head. Although these people said it like this, Boss Wang Zhan did not want to make things difficult for them, and he needed to observe the current situation.

If he truly wanted to settle old scores, he should wait until the current issues are resolved before taking action against the people present.

Seeing Wang Zhan’s attitude, Zhao Feiyu sighed helplessly but didn’t say more. After a while, he reluctantly shook his head and moved to the side, quietly gazing at the battlefield not far away.

Judging by his expression, he harbored great resentment towards the people in Ten Thousand Sword City. Zhao Feiyu is the rebellious type, as was evident in the sea domain. Despite many strong enemies there, he never retreated a single step and stood his ground at all times.

And it’s for this reason that he encountered a tricky opponent during a critical moment. If Wang Zhan hadn’t appeared in time, he would have already lost his life; how could he be standing here unharmed now?

Thus, despite his slight dissatisfaction with Wang Zhan’s actions, he chooses not to say much.

In an instant, the Ten Thousand Sword City lord suddenly stepped back two paces in mid-air, while the momentum of the demonic beast in front increased significantly. The city lord’s face grew increasingly unsightly; he had used his main expertise but still gained no advantage. He was forced to keep retreating, obviously exhausted, believing he couldn’t defeat the beast if the confrontation continued.

Wang Zhan slightly squinted his eyes, ready to make a move when the Fire Qilin beside him suddenly held his shoulder and spoke calmly, "Wait a bit longer. This bastard isn’t as simple as he seems. I can sense he’s arranging a mysterious formation to delay the demonic beast he’s fighting. Then he’ll immediately flee this area."

Swoosh!

Zhao Feiyu’s face turned sour again. He spat and then gritted his teeth, saying, "According to you, this bastard is planning to flee at this moment?"

"That’s what it looks like now, and I trust my intuition won’t let me down," said the Fire Qilin, locking his eyes on the Sword Spirit, clearly seeking its opinion.

After all, he wasn’t fully certain whether his perception was accurate.

At that moment, the Sword Spirit nodded lightly and said flatly, "What you felt is indeed correct. I can sense space fluctuations. He’s definitely arranging some formation, seemingly in a rush to escape. But he’s the master of the whole battle. If he leaves now, the people in Ten Thousand Sword City won’t stand a chance against the demonic beasts’ attack, leading to just one scenario: total destruction..."

"That’s truly laughable!"

Zhao Feiyu hugged his shoulders and said, "It’s unexpected that, as a city lord, he’s only thinking of himself. It’s baffling why people choose to follow him. Maybe it’s because he’s terrifyingly powerful? But what good is a bit more strength? This fellow’s character is truly worrying!"

Conversely, looking at Wang Zhan, throughout this period, he’s continually faced strong enemies. Yet, upon encountering them, Wang Zhan always stands with the people around him, even unconditionally defending them without retreating a step!

That might be the biggest difference between them!

On the other hand, the current city lord of Ten Thousand Sword City is quite hateful, always considering his own interests. Perhaps this is the main reason Ten Thousand Sword City can’t rise. How could true experts follow such a city lord?

Would they foolishly sacrifice their lives?

Next second, there’s a loud noise, and a massive spatial crack appears over Ten Thousand Sword City, where the city lord coldly laughs and then speaks in a sinister tone, "You bastards, wait for me. I’ll surely return someday, and I’ll wipe out all these demonic beasts. You won’t escape safely from Thunder Domain either!"

Noticing his gaze, Zhao Feiyu sneered dismissively and replied discontentedly, "The situation’s come to this, and yet this guy, like a dog with a bone, flees in panic, still threatening us? It’s laughable indeed."

"Mr. Wang, should we quickly join forces to stop this bastard? Let’s not let him escape like this. Although I’m not worried about his future retaliation, as he’s incapable of it, his conduct is truly detestable!"

Wang Zhan frowned slightly, glanced at the Hexagonal Golden Snake behind him, and slowly spoke, "Can you stop this guy?"

If he does escape, it’ll undoubtedly complicate matters further, and now everyone’s eyes are on that person, so no mishaps can occur.

The Hexagonal Golden Snake frowned and said, "I’m afraid it’s impossible now. There’s already a not-so-great disparity in our strength, plus this guy’s set up the spatial movement formation, so he’ll leave this space suddenly soon. Even if I try to intervene now, it’ll consume my energy and leave me incapable of dealing with the demonic beasts."

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhan found himself in a dilemma; indeed, it’s a crucial issue.

Even if the city lord of Ten Thousand Sword City leaves, protecting all people here is imperative, as they’re just ordinary citizens. Although their previous actions are indeed repulsive, Wang Zhan can’t watch them perish; it weighs heavily on him.

Reflecting on this, Wang Zhan frowned and said, "Then we shan’t stop him; those who do evil will eventually destroy themselves. I believe he’ll pay dearly for his actions later; we’ll just wait and see."

The others nodded along. Although Zhao Feiyu felt disgruntled, the situation being as it is, he refrains from speaking further. If things spiral out of control, many people might get hurt, considering the demonic beasts harbor some experts.

Hence, caution is necessary before proceeding.

Suddenly, a loud boom echoes in the sky, and the Ten Thousand Sword City lord vanishes before everyone’s eyes. At this moment, the people in the city show distress, then helplessly smile. They hadn’t thought it would come to this.

Someone in the crowd suddenly cried out, "I never imagined our esteemed city lord would abandon us at such a time. He disregards the foundation of Ten Thousand Sword City and its people. It’s truly laughable!"

"Had I known, we shouldn’t have stayed in Ten Thousand Sword City. Now it’s too late. Even if we wish to leave, there’s probably no chance; only a dead end awaits us..."

The people lamented collectively. No one foresaw things coming to this.

The faces of several protectors turned sour; they relied on the city lord. The lord was the strongest in the city. His departure clearly reveals their plight, understanding it’s implausible to retreat safely.

Considering this, the masses’ mouths curled into bitter smiles, no words spoken, merely waiting for the grim likelihood ahead.

Meanwhile, the demonic beasts kept roaring and shouting.

"I knew it; humans on the Star War Battlefield are all alike, thinking only of themselves, especially those in power. Look at the so-called city lord abandoning everyone now. It’s laughable!"

"Enough pointless talk; let’s utilize this moment quickly to wipe out everyone here! Despite the considerable defense in Ten Thousand Sword City, there’s a sword tomb. If we enter, we might find decent treasure. We can also use the terrain to build our base, allowing continued survival!"

"Then, we no longer need to endure hardships and can call this place home!"

The demonic beasts shouted in excitement.

After all, they’ve been living rough, hiding in the forest. Now’s a chance to infiltrate Ten Thousand Sword City. Once established, future worries diminish, even facing human experts, using the city for defense!

Their position remains unshaken.

Sadly, just as everyone was about to act, a low voice echoed, "Who gave you the audacity?"
