Chapter 1358 - 1342: Impressive
The more than one hundred people on Wealth Street, upon hearing the news of the City Lord’s bounty of a hundred thousand, immediately sprang into action, surrounding Yang Xiao from all directions.
At this moment, by the window of a room in a distant three-story building, a tall, thin, elderly man stood watching everything that was happening on Wealth Street, his gaze locked on Yang Xiao, his expression grim.
The tall, thin elder was named Tam Ge, the Deputy City Lord of Death Castle, responsible for managing its daily affairs.
This three-story house was right next to Wealth Street; standing by the upstairs window, one could clearly view everything happening on the street below.
Standing beside him were two Black-clad Guards.
"Lord Tam, this person was able to kill the third Flying Sword, his combat power is formidable. Should we let him into the city, or kill him?"
Deputy City Lord Tam Ge hesitated for a moment, then said,
"Pass down the order, have our men kill him, with a bounty of a hundred thousand crystal disks."
In the view of Deputy City Lord Tam Ge, someone like Yang Xiao, an Emperor Level Transcendent Expert, could not be accepted by Death Castle.
Such a person, relying on their overwhelming combat power, would not heed the constraints of the City Lord. Over time, they would lead a group to rebel, so Yang Xiao must die.
The Central Continent was an inherently evil land, where everyone’s survival was built on blood and ruthlessness, with no place for mercy.
One of the Black-clad Guards beside the Deputy City Lord, after hearing this, went downstairs and whispered two sentences to a man in the crowd.
The man listened and nodded, then shouted to the crowd,
"The City Lord has put a bounty of a hundred thousand crystal disks for killing him,"
Then he brandished a long spear and charged at Yang Xiao.
More than a hundred desperadoes, wielding various weapons, launched an attack on Yang Xiao from the air, the ground, front and back, left and right.
Yang Xiao let out a cold laugh, brandishing a ten-meter giant sword and sweeping it towards the people around him.
The killing aura of this giant sword was not as strong as the Bronze Divine Sword Yang Xiao had once used, but it still possessed a formidable killing power.
With Yang Xiao’s current Emperor Level Transcendent Realm, even an ordinary iron sword in his hands was a divine weapon for slicing through melons and chopping wood.
The longsword, carrying a furious killing aura, swept across, destroying everything,
Cutting through the opponent’s killing aura, severing it,
Cutting through the opponent’s weapons, severing them,
Cutting through an opponent’s body, severing it.
With one sweeping sword, he cleaved a dozen attackers into halves.
Yang Xiao wielded his ten-meter giant sword, utilizing the Divine Mountain Sword Skill, unleashing hundreds of sword shadows that unfolded in layers, like fireworks exploding among the attackers.
The sword shadows exploded in all directions, the entire Death Avenue was filled with severed limbs and blood flowing like rivers, screams filled the air.
In just a few breaths of cultivation technique, Yang Xiao killed seventy to eighty people.
The remaining hundred or so assassins were completely shocked by Yang Xiao’s aura, each of them executed the Instantaneous Technique, fleeing like lightning in all directions.
Yang Xiao didn’t give chase, simply dragging his ten-meter giant sword and walking forward step by step.
Occasionally, a few brave individuals attempted to sneak attack from behind, above, or the sides, but without even turning his head, Yang Xiao lightly wielded the longsword in his hand, accurately slaying the sneaky attackers.
A moment later, Yang Xiao had covered two-thirds of the distance down Death Street.
The assassins collecting protection fees continuously retreated and no longer tried to ambush Yang Xiao.
"Damn, he’s probably an Emperor Level Transcendent Expert, we’re no match for him at all."
"If I had known, why bother fighting desperately?"
"Will the City Lord take action? This kind of person shouldn’t be allowed to stay in Death Castle."
"The City Lord probably won’t take action; I think Deputy City Lord Tam Ge will intervene."
"It’s fine if Deputy City Lord Tam Ge takes action; after all, he is at an Emperor Level Transcendent Realm."
....
Dragging the longsword, Yang Xiao produced an ear-piercing sound as metal scraped against rock.
The assassins continued retreating back, five hundred meters ahead was Death Castle’s Citizen Hall. If Yang Xiao entered the hall and paid ten thousand crystal disks to buy a Death Castle Citizen ID, he would receive limited protection from the City Lord, and the pursuit would come to a temporary halt.
Tam Ge stood by the third-floor window, watching Yang Xiao’s silhouette advance step by step, feeling uneasy and indecisive.
The Black-clad Guard beside him whispered,
"Deputy City Lord, should we intercept him?"
"If I tell you to intercept him, can you defeat him?"
Black-clad Guard: "..."
The Black-clad Guard was frustrated, thinking, how could I be his opponent? Of course, the City Lord should personally take action.
Tam Ge watched Yang Xiao’s silhouette, muttering to himself, softly saying,
"Aren’t we Death Castle, where we never have a rule of rejecting newcomers?
Newcomers can bring wealth and popularity; we need newcomers!"
The Black-clad Guard was internally dissatisfied, saying,
"City Lord Tam Ge, as the saying goes, ’A city cannot tolerate two lords’. If we allow this person to become a citizen of Death Castle, over time, he will inevitably gather a group around him, and if you want to deal with him then, it will be too late."
While Tam Ge was hesitating, Yang Xiao had already reached the door of the Citizen Hall.
The assassins who retreated here had completely given up the thought of assassinating Yang Xiao, each of them holding their longswords, looking at Yang Xiao with resentment.
Damn it, showing off such a strong Genetic Evolution Level here, isn’t this just harming people?
Yang Xiao stood at a distance of about five meters from the Citizen Hall entrance, glanced at the dozens of assassins who were also standing outside the Citizen Hall door.
These people had suffered a huge loss today, being forced to the Citizen Hall entrance by Yang Xiao, which could be considered a disgrace.
One of them looked at Yang Xiao and said helplessly,
"Brother, you’ve won. You can enter the Citizen Hall, pay ten thousand crystal disks, and obtain a Death City citizen identity. With this identity, people within Death Castle will no longer be able to hunt you."
Saying this, he moved slightly from the Citizen Hall entrance, signaling Yang Xiao to enter the Citizen Hall.
Yang Xiao let out a cold snort, the ten-meter giant sword in his hand sweeping towards the dozens at the Citizen Hall entrance.
Instantly, the killing aura surged, and the crowd was terrified.
Someone shouted,
"Brother, stop!"
"We surrender."
...
A cold flash swept through, and almost instantly, the dozens of assassins at the Citizen Hall entrance were cleft in half by Yang Xiao’s longsword.
More than a dozen lucky ones managed to dodge and now looked at Yang Xiao in terror, screaming,
"You’ve won, we surrendered, why still kill us?"
"What’s so strange about this? If my combat power wasn’t stronger than yours, I would have already died under your attack,
you can kill me, but I can’t kill you?"
With that, the ten-meter giant sword in his hand transformed into a cold flash, sweeping across the remaining dozen people.
No one could evade it.
A series of screams followed as the bodies of the dozen people were cleaved in two, falling at the Citizen Hall entrance.
Deputy City Lord Tam Ge stood by the third-floor window and watched Yang Xiao from afar, feeling touched,
"Cruel and ruthless, clean and swift, without a shred of hesitation, impressive!"
