Free Web NovelChapter 517: Chapter 252: City Shattered in One Blow! The Tyrant Emerges! (Part 2)
The sunlight streamed in through the broken hole, as if forcibly tearing a bleeding wound into this dark city. And the black-robed figure wielding a Blood Spear, standing before the broken hole, looked like a Demon God marching out from hell against the light.
"Simply... like a monster..."
Adira’s body trembled slightly, muttering to himself, the shock and fear in his heart reaching a peak.
Yet what surged up was an even stronger excitement. He had traveled across the continent and seen countless strong individuals, but none had ever given him such a pure, overwhelming sense of terror.
’This guy, he might be even stronger than the emperors of the Three Great Empires!’
A crazy thought sprouted in his mind, bold ideas spreading in his heart.
Then, amid the deathly silence around, Ye Mingqiu moved.
He maintained that same unhurried pace, stepping over the shattered fragments of the city gate, crossing the boundary he had forcefully opened, and walked into the city.
"Da! Da! Da!..."
Ye Mingqiu’s footsteps sounded exceptionally clear in this silent environment; each step was like a heavy war drum beating in the hearts of everyone witnessing this scene, with only the occasional sound of falling rubble joining in harmony.
The two guards who survived by chance still stood rigid in place, like two statues frozen by fear. Let alone stopping him, they had nearly lost even the courage to move their eyes to watch that demon-like back leaving.
Only that steady and oppressive sound of footsteps continued to echo at the city entrance.
"Enemy attack!!"
"Woo!!"
Ye Mingqiu’s earth-shattering strike not only shattered the city gate but thoroughly broke the surface order and peace of this city.
Ear-piercing alarms instantly resounded throughout the city, countless hidden defensive mechanisms rose amid the sound of turning gears, and streams of light shot skyward from all over the city, the aura of strong individuals stationed there erupting after being alarmed.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of figures exuding strong fluctuations gathered from all directions, blocking Ye Mingqiu’s path.
They were clad in either uniform armor or lavish private attire, holding sharp magic staffs, their eyes filled with a mix of anger and fear as they stared intently at the black-robed figure approaching.
’This guy is absurdly strong!’
The collective realization took root in their hearts, attempting to match that figure with those of strong individuals in their memories, yet failing to find anyone who compared.
Because the Blood Erosion Tyrant wasn’t a top-tier figure of this era at all.
Under the gaze of countless strong individuals, Ye Mingqiu continued forward at his own pace, his steps steady, those deep eyes penetrating through the crowd, fixing on the luxurious and towering castle in the center of the city.
"Is he there?"
He murmured softly, as if confirming an insignificant target.
"Yes, usually, the Lord would indulge himself in the castle,"
Adira followed behind, speaking with a tone of mockery, "But occasionally they also ’go out to play.’
He heavily enunciated the word ’play,’ the cruelty and debauchery implied was self-evident.
"Oh."
Ye Mingqiu received the confirmation, his steps unceasing.
His indifference and enmity towards the Lord utterly enraged the strong individuals who surrounded him.
"Madman! Halt!"
"Activate the Grand Array, suppress him!"
"Deploy the array! Don’t let him advance any further!"
....
With several angry shouts, countless azure rune lines lit up on the ground of the city, a massive array covering half of the inner city instantly activated.
A vast suppression force descended like an invisible mountain, pressing heavily on Ye Mingqiu, the air seemingly solidifying, becoming incredibly heavy.
[Hint: Your Abnormal Status Resistance was successful, you are immune to the negative status this time]
[Hint: Your Control Effect Resistance was successful, you are immune to the control effect this time]
’City Defense Array? Feels ordinary.’
Ye Mingqiu lowered his eyes, thinking as he slightly paused his steps. Compared to the colorless suppression of Heaven, this City Defense Array seemed like a child’s toy, devoid of any power.
Seeing him stop, many strong individuals mistakenly believed that the City Defense Array had worked, picking up some confidence in battle. One person even stepped out from the crowd, pointing at Ye Mingqiu and shouting: "Under the City Defense Array, let’s see you..."
His words cut off abruptly.
Because that attacker’s figure vanished before his eyes like a phantom, and the next moment, a suffocating shadow appeared behind him.
"What else?"
Ye Mingqiu coldly questioned, looking down at him from above, those calm and emotionless eyes now more terrifying than any beast.
"Uh..."
The strong individual who had been shouting the loudest just moments ago found his throat seemingly blocked, able only to utter meaningless gurgles, his body stiff, unable to even move a finger, an endless terror washing over him like ice water.
"Bang!"
The Blood Spear swung lightly, without any earthshaking momentum, just a dull explosion. The next moment, his body shredded like a smashed watermelon, splitting into two halves with flesh flying everywhere.
The slaughter feast belonging uniquely to the Blood Erosion Tyrant thus commenced.
Like a figure of Death God himself, he moved back and forth across the battlefield, the suppression of the azure array utterly useless, scarlet fireworks blossoming amidst the feast, the Chapter of wails and screams unfurled.
’Ah, this familiar feeling!’
’This is war!’
’A war that belongs solely to me!’
Ye Mingqiu slowly spread his arms, watching the attacks pouring down on him like a torrential rain, his mouth curving into an excited smile.
Violent Fire Dragons, Wind Blades tearing through the sky, Flashing Thunderbolt, arrows so fast they flickered away.... countless attacks descended, yet Ye Mingqiu at the core of the attack did not defend. He even spread his arms to actively welcome them.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."
The violent blast sounds exploded like thunder, terrifying attacks crumbling the surroundings, turning the once neat inner city into ruins, each wave of attack more fierce than the last.
Then, from within the explosion of terror, an astonishing giant hand reached out. It crushed buildings, seemingly borrowing strength, followed by a Demon God at least ten meters tall emerging from the explosive core, roaring like rumbling thunder.
[War Roar]
The terrifying Demon God wielding a Blood Spear, ignoring all damage with ultimate defense, speed beyond belief, strength terrifying to the extreme.... all of it confirming one frightening fact.
This guy....
Is the historical Blood Erosion Tyrant!
"It’s over, it’s the Blood Erosion Tyrant, we are doomed." Someone knelt on the ground, revealing a bitter smile.
Blood Erosion Tyrant moved, exhibiting terrifying speed unmatching his giant body, wielding the Blood Spear like a Scythe of Death reaping lives, with every swing bringing up ghastly flowers of blood; with every sweep, scores of enemies fell like mown wheat.
....
In Adira’s Sea of Spiritual, the silver-haired youth silently watched the Blood Erosion Tyrant trampling the ground, casually destroying everything, the City Defense Array’s suppression showing no effect on him at all, the downpour of attacks directly negated, not a trace of damage sustained.
At this moment, he realized a problem, this historical Blood Erosion Tyrant seemed stronger than he imagined, and not just stronger by a little.
He had initially thought the Blood Erosion Tyrant to be only somewhat stronger than the current heroes, but unexpectedly, this guy’s strength now surpassed the hero Modus by far, it was questionable whether Modus could even break through his defenses.
"Perhaps, this guy’s strength is truly enough to challenge an emperor."
"But it’s only a challenge...."
"Those three emperors, they have all transcended the pinnacle existence of humanity, not something humans can contend with; defeating an emperor.... is as difficult as ascending to heaven."
