Chapter 170 - 169: Punished by Execution, The Dawn of a New Era
Chapter 170: Chapter 169: Punished by Execution, The Dawn of a New Era
A loud shout rang out.
The Flame River King suddenly erupted with a powerful, boundless aura, transforming into a flame heading straight for the Knight Order.
The leading Tier Nine Lord’s face changed drastically and immediately had the Celestial Horses beside him spread their wings, forming a Holy Light Shield Wall in front of the group.
“Boom!”
“Ah—”
The screams formed a continuous sound.
The Holy Light Shield Wall didn’t last even a second before it exploded violently.
All the lord species behind the shield were blown away by this frenzy of power, leaving countless dead and injured.
It even directly broke the protective rules of the Main City!
Seeing the Flame River King rush past them towards the city gate, the heavily injured Knight Order leader looked up to the sky and shouted: “Quick! Notify the Marshal!”
At this moment, the Flame River King had already broken through the guards’ encirclement, passed through the city gate, and reached outside the city.
On his panicked face, a trace of malice finally appeared.
“Want to keep me? Not that easy!”
With those words, he ripped open the space and instantly traversed several miles away.
The difference between Tier Ten and Tier Eleven is still significant, not like the Saint Radiance King, who can directly cross space barriers to reach another continent.
Yet, even so, the Flame River King’s escape speed was extremely fast, quickly leaving the Main City behind.
Seeing the city gate fading into the distance behind him, his tense nerves gradually relaxed, even revealing a hint of arrogance and satisfaction.
“Do you think you can still escape, Flame River!”
But at this moment, a loud shout suddenly exploded.
In front of the escaping Flame River King, the space suddenly cracked open, erupting into a vast void.
Just as he was about to rip the space open again to continue his travel, the Flame River King was greatly shocked, his pupils contracted to the extreme.
“Saint Radiance King!?”
A scream as if a rooster’s neck was being clenched, his face instantly filled with fear.
And the Lords and passersby rushing over were kept at their tracks, stunned by this exaggerated scene.
In the fragmented void, the burly figure of the Saint Radiance King walked out slowly, staring coldly at the panicked Flame River King.
Behind him, a squad of Tier Eleven Golden Armored Knights followed.
The Flame River King’s body trembled, and without a second thought, he once again tore open the space, diving into the rift, disappearing from sight.
“It’s almost there…”
“Just a little bit more!”
The Flame River King’s face was deathly pale, moving ceaselessly in the void, his eyes fixed on the direction of the Primordial Evil Realm.
It seemed that as long as he reached the territory of the Primordial Evil Continent, he could escape alive.
Yet, the next moment, a voice like thunder boomed again.
“Die for me!”
With a thunderous crash.
The void where he was shattered piece by piece, revealing his figure once more.
Not giving him a chance to resist.
A vast, boundless power had already completely locked him in, as if clenching his throat, trapping him in the sky, making him unable to break free despite his desperate struggle.
He could only watch helplessly as the power grew more violent, crazily pouring into him, causing his body to swell rapidly.
“Saint Radiance! Leave him alive!”
At this time, an urgent shout suddenly came from the Main City.
But how could the furious Saint Radiance King relent, his body bursting with golden light, raising his arm and clenching the void.
“Bang!!”
The Flame River King’s body exploded into a mist of blood, staining the long sky with red!
Causing the Lords below to feel a deep, intense shock.
Even the elderly man who had just arrived, with an aura not much weaker than the Saint Radiance King, couldn’t help but stop, gazing helplessly at the sky.
With just a single strike!
He had easily annihilated a Tier Ten King!
The impact of that scene was absolutely unparalleled.
Even Lin You, who was following behind the Golden Armored Knight order, was completely stunned by this sight, standing motionless on the spot.
The perpetrator of the blockade.
A formidable Tier Ten King.
Just dead, like that?
If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have believed it was true.
Yet what followed was full-hearted excitement and joy.
He really did it!
Though it wasn’t by his own hand, he watched the killer meant to eliminate him fall under justice.
That exhilarating feeling was truly hard to express in words.
The boulder that had been weighing on his heart also fell, making him feel light all over, unable to resist a long exhale of relief.
And just then.
A breeze passed by.
The blood mist in the sky gradually dispersed, revealing a radiant crystal floating quietly in the air.
The crystal was not big, about the size of a palm, constantly changing shape, seeming alive, instantly capturing everyone’s gaze.
“Is this… the Divine Fragment!”
Ji Xinghe by Lin You’s side whispered, eyes filled with intense desire.
Let alone the Tier Nine Lords rushing over, their eyes were fervent, wanting to charge and snatch the fragment.
But upon seeing the Saint Radiance King standing in the void, they immediately stopped.
Grabbing things from a Tier Eleven powerhouse unless they didn’t value their lives.
“Is that the Divine Fragment?”
Unlike others, Lin You didn’t have much inclination for such things, only curiosity in his gaze.
After all, a thing like this, even if it was given to him, would only bring calamity, and had no use for him.
Unless he reached Tier Nine right now.
Otherwise, it was better not to entertain such thoughts.
Soon.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, the Saint Radiance King waved his big hand, putting away the Divine Fragment.
The elderly man who had previously called for restraint stepped on the void and came up to the Saint Radiance King with a look of resignation.
“Alas, Saint Radiance brother, you shouldn’t have killed him; at least you should have compelled him to reveal news about the Primordial Evil Realm.”
This elder, though his aura was less than the Saint Radiance King, was not significantly different.
He’s likely the one responsible for guarding the Main City.
The Saint Radiance King saw the elder, snorting coldly: “If not killing him, I couldn’t quell the hate in my heart, letting him die like this was a cheap way out!”
“All right, in any case, things have settled, and the most important thing now is to report up and see what the Great Emperors say.”
Evidently, the elder also understood the Saint Radiance King’s temperament, not dwelling excessively on this matter.
When the Saint Radiance King heard the name of the Great Emperors, his expression also mellowed, saying: “Very well, I have important matters to report too, let’s go together.”
With that, the two of them casually ripped open space and disappeared from everyone’s sight.
Before leaving, the Saint Radiance King also summoned his Golden Armored Knight Order back, leaving only Ji Xinghe and Lin You, standing dumbfounded on the spot.
“Let’s go, we should return and prepare too. After this event, the continent is bound for drastic changes,” Ji Xinghe said solemnly.
“Changes? Could it be…” Ji Yunshuang hesitated, her beautiful eyes filled with a hint of terror.
Yes.
Since the Primordial Evil Realm dared to go this far, it could almost be said that they were openly declaring war against the Primordial Realm.
Anyone with a shred of intelligence should know what will happen next.
Lin You naturally understood this as well.
So he had no thought of staying any longer to build relationships with Ji Xinghe, hurriedly bidding farewell to the two and rushing back inside the Main City.
And the affair of the Primordial Evil Realm spy was, for now, temporarily settled.
