Chapter 404: Murong Lingyun

Chapter 404: Chapter 404: Murong Lingyun

"City Lord..."

"Dead... dead?"

In Chifeng City, when everyone witnessed the scene happening high above, their expressions involuntarily darkened, and their eyes revealed immense fear.

Who could have thought that even Yan Wushuang, such a powerful figure at the Peak of the Nirvana Realm Ninth Layer, would die at the hands of Ji Chen.

It was too terrifying. The Hundred Victories Marquis from the Desolate Realm, all alone, ventured into the depths of the Yu Realm, breaking a city alone, with no one able to stop him.

"Kill!"

Above the void, the City Defense Array had already collapsed.

After obliterating Yan Wushuang, Ji Chen’s eyes flashed with another gleam.

He clearly didn’t plan to spare anyone.

"Buzz!"

Black light shone, the Daoist Emperor’s Weapon pointed directly at Chifeng City, as if it transformed into a Death God’s Scythe, carrying an astounding aura, and fiercely descended.

"Ah!"

In an instant, screams echoed continuously. At this moment, the cultivators from the Yu Realm who had survived by chance in the city couldn’t escape their fate, one after another falling under Ji Chen’s Purple Ink Emperor Halberd.

Blood mist scattered, piles of corpses like mountains, throughout Chifeng City were the corpses of Yu Realm cultivators, utterly countless.

"Swish!"

Ji Chen’s body leapt, and swept into the city, greedily looting the valuable items inside.

About two hours later, he had harvested abundantly, with countless Magical Treasures, Martial Techniques, and some special herbs all being taken into his pouch.

Without staying, Ji Chen strode away, quickly traversing through the void toward the distance, soon disappearing from sight.

...

"Chifeng City has been broken?"

"City Lord Yan Wushuang was killed, a master at the Peak of the Nirvana Realm Ninth Layer, a first-class existence among Ancient Emperors. What kind of person could kill him?"

"It’s said that aside from a scattered few, everyone in Chifeng City was killed, a complete annihilation."

"Too terrifying, could the Desolate Realm have dispatched an Ancient Emperor? Otherwise, how could Chifeng City be breached?"

"Impossible! The Desolate Realm currently has no Emperor Level figures."

"It’s said that someone found those few who escaped Chifeng City and learned the events from their mouths. The one who stormed Chifeng City was none other than the Hundred Victories Marquis, Ji Chen!"

"What? It was him!"

Such discourse caused countless people in the Yu Realm to be aghast.

"Ji Chen the Hundred Victories Marquis? The one on whom the Emperor Marshal issued the kill order?"

"Is it true? It’s said that this person’s cultivation is only around the Nirvana Realm Seventh Layer. How did he manage to single-handedly break a city with even the Chifeng City Lord Yan Wushuang dying at his hand?"

"The twenty thousand battle merits truly weren’t baseless; no wonder he could catch the Emperor Marshal’s attention. Now it seems, beneath the Emperor Realm, it’s hard to say who can take him down!"

In various cities of the Yu Realm, many cultivators received the news and discussed without exception; their words all featured the name Ji Chen.

In fact, upon receiving the news, many defensive cities immediately strengthened their City Defense Arrays, fearing Ji Chen would come to kill the next moment.

After all, the Yu Realm had numerous fortified cities, and in terms of defense capabilities, a few defensive cities were even weaker than Chifeng City. Once Ji Chen truly came to kill, they’d struggle to resist.

Chifeng City was forced, completely annihilated by Ji Chen alone. The news spread throughout the Yu Realm in just a day.

In various cities, countless people were uneasy, causing panic, all fearing Ji Chen would appear outside the city the next moment.

"How did a mere Hundred Victories Marquis cause such disarray in our Yu Realm’s army morale? Anyone who dares flee will be immediately executed!"

On this day, in a city of the Yu Realm, such a voice was heard; clearly, as time passed and the matter fermented, many Yu Realm cultivators had started feeling unsettled.

This was undoubtedly something that severely impacted morale.

"If this person dares come to my ’Celestial Spring City,’ I shall personally kill him!"

Another day passed, and in the heart of the Yu Realm, inside Celestial Spring City, such an arrogant voice emerged.

Celestial Spring City Lord Murong Lingyun, reportedly in his twenties, yet his cultivation had already reached the Peak of the Nirvana Realm Ninth Layer, akin to Chifeng City Lord Yan Wushuang, both being the utmost existences beneath the Emperor Realm.

Such age, yet he became a City Lord, commanding thousands of troops. Many say he’s Yu Realm’s most promising candidate of this generation to reach the Ancient Emperor Realm.

"City Lord Murong! Yu Realm’s future king!"

"A mere Ji Chen, though somewhat powerful, how could he compare to City Lord Murong?"

"Across both the realms, among the younger generation, it’s hard to find someone who can truly rival Murong Lingyun. Even this so-called Hundred Victories Marquis Ji Chen, if he truly faced City Lord Murong, he’d be taken down instantly."

Many discussed, evidently, the name Murong Lingyun was already well-known to them.

This was Yu Realm’s youngest among all General Level figures invading the Desolate Realm, reputed as the Yu Realm’s leading figure of the younger generation.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

And on the very same day Murong Lingyun spoke, in the afternoon.

In a fortified city somewhere in the Yu Realm, a series of loud noises erupted.

Black light covered the entire ancient city, with Ji Chen arriving there, forcefully breaking the city with his Daoist Emperor’s Weapon, and storming inside.

In a mere moment, the City Defense Array was shattered, with countless Yu Realm cultivators killed by him using the Emperor’s Halberd, even the city lord couldn’t escape, being slain by Ji Chen’s halberd in the void, utterly unable to resist.

"What City Lord Murong, what Yu Realm’s foremost prodigy, if you truly have the skill, just come and kill me."

After sweeping through the city’s valuables, Ji Chen traversed away; during movement his voice spread across nearly a thousand miles, clearly audible in some defensive cities.

"Such arrogance, daring to challenge City Lord Murong!"

"This Ji Chen, does he truly consider himself invincible?"

Many cultivators, upon hearing, couldn’t help but show anger on their faces.

Ji Chen’s words also reached Murong Lingyun the same day.

He immediately responded, "Just an ant, how could he be compared to me?"

"If I want to kill you, I can take you down with one hand!"

"What’s the use of just talking? While you speak those words, the Yu Realm no longer knows how many have died at my hands."

Ji Chen sneered, speaking again, his words carried a certain Power of the Dao, resonating clearly across a thousand miles.

He broke another city, whisked away, with no one able to stop him.
