Reaper of the Martial World

Book 12: Chapter 127: Woo (3)

The vajra body crushed the dungeon beneath its feet with nothing more than its aura. It hadn’t even taken a single step, nor had it taken any action at all, but it truly felt that the world might collapse at any time.

All of these things were within Dyon’s plans. But, what he hadn’t expected was for him to be truly pissed off. When he saw Mimi’s head, despite knowing that she was nothing more than a puppet, he truly did feel an undying rage bubbling up within his heart like a tide of lava.

~Moment Ago~

In the City Lord’s mansion, a man with wide shoulders say complacently. His back and shoulders were so broad that his legs seemed far too small for his body. Yet, despite this, it gave him an imposing demeanor that not many could stand to.

This man was none other than City Lord Woo, the leader of the government faction and the most powerful man of Yin City.

“It’s done?”

“Yes, City Lord. Winnow Jones has been allowed into the dungeons.”

“Good, then. Since he got his last wish, I assume he won’t mind never stepping foot out of that dungeon again.”

“City…”

The man who stood across from City Lord Woo’s desk paused. He didn’t know if he should continue his words. He didn’t want to end up like Winnow. That fool thought that the City Lord had kind intentions in mind, yet wasn’t he about to die now? Well, maybe that man didn’t care much. All he wanted was his revenge in the end, and he got it. He should be thankful.

That said, even if Winnow didn’t have any more aspirations other than to get his revenge on Law, he still wanted to live more. So, he choked back his words, unwilling to say anything more.

However, in his heart, he felt that this City Lord had gone too far. Ruining a prodigy like Law for little else other than feeling a small bit of threat, not to mention going so far as to kill his wife and father-in-law at the same time… That was enough to make the hearts of the other nobles run cold.

In such a situation, how could they dare to display their true strengths before the City Lord? It would only encourage them to hide their abilities in the shadows and scheme under the cover of night. In such a situation, the Yin City’s government faction might end up with numerous pointed blades coming in all directions.

Of course, the City Lord wasn’t a fool. He knew this as well. But, didn’t Law think that he was very clever? His cleverness caused three of the four most powerful clans of Yin City to be crippled in just half a decade. He essentially gave City Lord Woo exactly what he wanted.

With these Clans crippled, was there even a need to worry about hidden blades? By then, he could cease holding onto an empty title like City Lord and become a true King and even an Emperor. At that time, there would be no need for garbage like democracy and he could act as he pleased.

He really had to thank that Law.

Thinking to this point, he couldn’t help but smile to himself. He didn’t even react to his right hand man’s words and directly forgave them. At the very least, he was sensible to not even try to form the thought into words.

Though, if he dared to say them, it didn’t matter how much of a good mood he was in, this fellow would most definitely die.

City Lord Woo’s smile became uproarious laughter. It was exactly at that moment that Law’s voice rang like a clap of thunder that sent a shockwave through the City Lord Mansion.

“CITY LORD WOO, I’LL TEAR YOU LIMB FROM LIMB!”

When City Lord Woo heard this, he was stunned for a moment before a cold smile creeped onto his face.

“So he was hiding more than I thought, huh? Do you still think I shouldn’t have gotten rid of such a bastard?” The City Lord looked toward his secretary, his good mood gone.

The scholarly man trembled and lowered his gaze to the ground, not daring to look up.

“Acelin! Go kill this fool and show others that I’m not to be trifled with.”

The City Lord’s voice transmission descended toward a knight dressed in golden armor.

“Yes! Milord!”

Without hesitation, the man acting guard turned into a beam of golden light that shot from the palace. But, it was exactly at that time that Law’s vajra body appeared. And, Acelin, who had just boldly charged out from the mansion, not even bothering to call forward the troops beneath his command, was frozen on the spot.

Let alone fight back, he felt that his blood and his qi had grinded to a complete halt.

Law walked through the air.

The entire city had fallen into an eerie silence. The only sound that could be heard for hundreds of kilometers was the rattling of the chain attached to his ankle. Aside from this, no one dared to even breathe too hard.

Seeing Acelin, Law hardly reacted. Acelin was an Immortal Law expert, but beneath the presence of a humanoid vajra body looking down at him with such arrogance and disregard, he couldn’t move a single inch.

Law raised his hand and his vajra body followed suit. It seemed that all of the qi in the world surged toward them with just that one motion, forming a bloody red array almost a tenth the size of the entire city.

“Today, I’ll seek justice for my Mimi… [Judgement: Carnage].”

Acelin watched as the massive spear tip formed itself from out of the slowly spinning array. He smelled the scent of death, yet he could do nothing as it crept through the skies, eventually landing on his chest.

His lips curled into a bitter smile as red cracks began to spread through his body.

In the end, the spear had hardly touched him before his figure burst apart into a rain of blood and gore, leaving nothing but his head which was quickly attached to the chain on Law’s ankle.

“TODAY, I’LL RAZE THE CITY LORD’S MANSION’S TO THE GROUND.”

One arm carried the corpses of his loved ones, another arm commanded the skies to pass judgement, and his back carried along his ragged and tattered robes, ghastly killing intent pervading his gaze.
