Chapter 1770 - 1775: Escaping the City Gates
However, just as he stepped into the room, all he could see was a densely packed swarm of demon beasts, like the water stored in a reservoir finally breaking free and pouring out towards the room’s entrance.
"Ah!!"
"Run quickly!"
There was a panic-stricken cry all around, but the leading demon beasts were among the masters of the Golden Core Stage and Nascent Soul Stage, so they moved effortlessly, charging ahead until they arrived at the gate of Heavenly Commerce City. They passed through and turned the entire group of soldiers into minced meat. Lin Fei was also riding on a hairy ox, rushing outwards.
Lin Fei watched the mighty army and felt incredibly exhilarated, shouting at the demon beast army, "Charge! Once you break out, you’re free!"
The demon beast army rushed out towards the castle walls. They had already left the City Lord Mansion and reached the walls. The walls were extremely thick and sturdy. Lin Fei led the demon beasts to the wall, directly using martial arts to strike it, eventually astonishingly finding the gate difficult to destroy.
One city gate was so solid, let alone the walls. It was far superior to the shoddy constructions of the Lower Realm. He shouted at the numerous demon beasts, "All demon beasts, move back, I’m going to open the gate!"
Upon hearing Lin Fei’s words, these demon beasts surprisingly obeyed him, which was quite shocking. But they really did listen to Lin Fei’s command, retreating a few steps back. Lin Fei removed the latch, then dashed towards outside, shouting, "Charge!"
In an instant, the demon beast army rushed toward their senior sister outside, and in the blink of an eye, they had already broken through the gate.
At this moment, suddenly someone descended from the sky, displaying an unmatched aura, coldly staring at Lin Fei below and the various demon beasts.
"Are you called Lin Fei?" the City Lord of Heavenly Commerce City asked.
Lin Fei nodded, "Of course, I’m not deceiving you."
"Do you realize how foolish your actions are? Provoking the City Lord Mansion, do you know who gave you such strong confidence?" City Lord Zhou Yu asked.
Lin Fei chuckled, "No one gave me such confidence; I gave it to myself. I feel that what the City Lord did was unreasonable, so I redeemed the City Lord and his son’s sins."
"You call redemption letting these harmful demon beasts go free?"
The City Lord was exceptionally cold, even full of murderous intent, making Lin Fei furrow his brows. This City Lord was not easy to handle. After all, the superior wasn’t an ordinary cultivator; his power was much stronger than Lin Fei’s.
"Since they’re harmful demon beasts, then why did the City Lord indulge his eldest son in raising them? Given that he raised them, why didn’t he kill them?" Lin Fei asked.
"Utter nonsense, nonsense. Today I’m going to make you learn the consequences of lawless behavior, disrupting the peace of Heavenly Commerce City, you shall face the deserved punishment!" The City Lord finished speaking, and struck towards Lin Fei with one palm.
"Heh heh, this palm doesn’t impact me at all."
Lin Fei said, directly escaping, and transformed into a Godspeed Talisman, disappearing from that place in the blink of an eye. The City Lord saw Lin Fei’s flowing speed, which consumed a great amount of Primordial Energy, without the support of True Qi, it couldn’t possibly withstand such consumption.
Having dodged the City Lord’s attack, Lin Fei wasn’t arrogant or conceited; instead, he felt more apprehensive.
"The late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm is indeed difficult to resolve!" Lin Fei sighed.
"Lin Fei, let me take action. Looking at your weary appearance, there’s no way you can handle him," Little Black said.
Lin Fei nodded; this was not the time to show off. Sometimes it’s necessary to let go, allowing Little Black to act could save a lot of time, and also resolve the City Lord, why not?
Thus, Lin Fei ultimately agreed with Little Black’s suggestion, letting Little Black take action. After all, there was no one else, and the old man should have left long ago, he should also leave. The message to be left was prepared before entering the city, there should be no problem.
Little Black chuckled and then floated into the air, watching the City Lord’s attack descending. Little Black abruptly released his aura, instantly overshadowing the City Lord’s aura, making the whole sky become silent, plunging the entire city into a quiet stillness.
"What is this aura?!"
Someone exclaimed. They had never felt such pressure, nor felt the aura of the Dragon Clan, only feeling like they were being suppressed, and those fleeing demon beasts were all lying on the ground, not daring to rise. Lin Fei looked at these scenes and sighed that having immense power was indeed advantageous! With such might, one could intimidate everyone without a fight, how wonderful that would be.
Unfortunately, Lin Fei’s power seemed stagnant at this realm, challenging to break through, hence he remained a cultivator of the Golden Core Realm, unable to advance.
Facing him, the City Lord also felt this force, with a face full of surprise, looking at Little Black who had expanded in size, and said in shock, "Are you of the Dragon Clan?"
"Hahaha, you have an eye for talent. Get lost immediately, and I might spare your life!" Little Black boasted, laughing out loud.
Lin Fei was speechless, this dragon indeed had to show off, yet not fast enough in resolving, still calling Lin Fei slow.
"You’re actually from the Dragon Clan!"
The City Lord was shocked, then suddenly his eyes shone with greed and malice, "Perfect, you can be my demon beast now, submit to me!"
Hearing the City Lord’s words, everyone was stunned. City Lord Zhou Yu asked a dragon to submit to him? That was insane.
Little Black was also taken aback, looking puzzled, "What nonsense did you just mutter? I didn’t quite catch it."
The City Lord exhibited a crazed smile, "Submit to me, and I’ll grant you the riches and glory of the world!"
Little Black nodded, "So that was your nonsense, well alright, but..."
Whoosh!
Little Black’s immense tail abruptly slashed through the sky, in an instant, it struck the City Lord, launching him like a cannonball into the distance, immediately hitting the ground, and burying him in the soil.
"Such an insect, and an overly ambitious one at that, but what a pity, lacking strength," Little Black sneered.
"Alright Little Black, stop showing off, we should go quickly, we won’t make it if we delay any longer!" Lin Fei shouted from below.
Little Black nodded, transformed into a beam of black light, and vanished in the sky in the blink of an eye. At this moment, Little Black had shrunk to the size of a toothpick, completely invisible, after all, Little Black had suppressed his aura, leaving no hint of aura exposed.
Lin Fei glanced around the empty surroundings, and he also sped up, disappearing into the forest.
