319 The Forty-Eight Chapters of the Royal City's Turmoil

Another middle-aged man in a silk shirt nodded in agreement, "Yes, you should all take a look. Our adults are very powerful. You all need to be careful. We always tell you to follow the rules, you know?"

Just wait and see what happens to those who break the rules. The adults are ruthless; they can strike without hesitation.

The other young people around him, who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, were filled with fear and trepidation, their eyes fixed intently on him.

Wes, Jinluo, and others rushed over, but at this moment, the powerful aura made it difficult for them to approach, so they stayed close to their positions and guarded the area.

Yun Shuni looked at her future son-in-law and blushed slightly. She glanced at Yun Qing, who nodded and came to her side, whispering, "According to our investigation, this man is Manager Guo. His cultivation is just average, but the people on the way here noticed something was off about him."

He continued, "This Manager Guo has never driven a carriage before, and he's not this fat either; none of the other attendants noticed..."

The introduction was brief, yet there was no relaxation whatsoever, because there was no particular odor, only a faint stench, which could not be detected without careful observation.

He nodded slightly. "I killed a corpse demon at the market before. It was about the same size as me. I suppose it's about the same." This was both an explanation and a notification to Manager Guo.

At this moment, Manager Guo, his smile unchanged, still beaming, spoke in a hoarse voice, as if the words were coming from deep within his stomach: 'Looks like I haven't come to the wrong place. It seems you were the one who killed my clansman.'

Then it continued, "However, if one's skills are not up to par, death is nothing. But we still have to save face, otherwise, if everyone wants to kill us in the future, wouldn't it make our clan seem easy to bully?"

I've come today to see if those who killed my people are truly so tough.

But I never expected it to be such a fine appearance. Such an exquisite appearance—no wonder my clansmen couldn't resist it; not to mention him, I couldn't resist it either.

After saying that, it was as if someone who had been starving for ten days was encountering tempting food. The aroma that wafted towards him was irresistible. You could almost hear the sound of Manager Guo involuntarily swallowing his saliva, but the sound was filled with terror.

The sound likely spread among the people in the market. Ordinary people had heard it, but rarely had they seen it. Those who had seen it were mostly devoured by evil spirits, and very few survived.

Yun Qing's gaze remained unchanged as she looked at Manager Guo, who showed no fear whatsoever. She spoke softly yet resolutely, "Let me deal with you. Let me see if you have the audacity to be so arrogant."

In an instant, the treasured sword was in hand, its blade making a soft hum. A powerful aura emanated from it, her hair danced in the wind, and the hem of her clothes fluttered wildly. She was majestic and imposing, her spirit soaring like a rainbow. With focused concentration, the long sword in her hand instantly gathered immense power.

A faint, unseen, and unfathomable illusory power spread around the blade.

Less than a foot off the ground, he leaped up instantly, his figure flashing rapidly. His sword technique, Night Dragon's Torch, traced a dazzling trail in the night sky with his longsword, like a dragon's shadow churning in the darkness, as if a giant dragon was weaving through the air, letting out a deafening roar.

With a single slash, the energy reached its peak, and the sword technique seemed to carry boundless power and destructive force. The blade flashed, and the air made a "whooshing" sound as the blade was swung!

With a swift stroke, he beheaded Manager Guo, and heard, "The girl isn't bad; she'd be perfect as my concubine. It's decided then, hehe!"

The carriage suddenly burst open, and a figure rushed out. The hand that shot out was no longer a human hand, but a sharp iron claw, black and shiny. Instantly, the clanging of metal filled the air.

The intense gusts of wind, gleaming with the light of blades, seemed to never cease, accompanied by the scorching sparks flying in all directions, like the sound of metal clashing. Figures clashed, and the clanging of metal echoed in the air, sending chills down one's spine.

Yun Qing felt a sudden warning in his heart. Without hesitation, he activated the military formation, instantly reaching the peak of the Martial King realm. All his true energy condensed, and he unleashed a single, silent strike with his sword, which transformed into a sharp blade that seemed to cleave through space.

With a single slash, she aimed for Manager Guo's head. The blade, seemingly ignoring any defense, cleaved through his skull, severing his head. Without a second thought, she shot backward, gasping for breath, her face deathly pale.

At this moment, the head fell to the ground. Simple and silent, Manager Guo still stood straight, without the slightest fear, as if he had not lost his own head.

Gently approaching the head, he bent down, his hands outstretched like smiling eyes, and carefully retrieved the head. A grating sound came from behind him. 'Not bad, the military formation is indeed powerful. Outnumbering the weak—that's typical of your human race.'

He shook his head, realizing that his head seemed to be unstable, so he simply held it with both hands and continued, "So this is how my people died at your hands. You are truly despicable humans."

Today, I will wipe out your entire human race. I will let you know, and let everyone else know, that our race is not to be trifled with. You will all die.

His arrogant tone, arrogant posture, and boastful words, coupled with the confidence brought by his absolute strength, showed no regard for the disgust of the people present.

His arrogant expression, his conceit and the arrogance that he thought he had everything under control, were all written on his face at this moment.

He said in a condescending manner, 'If you want to live, kill the people around you; otherwise, none of you will live later.'

Go ahead and slaughter them all. I enjoy watching you fight amongst yourselves. Even the weakest ants can bring a touch of joy sometimes. Isn't that right?

After saying that, she looked at He Chen and said, "And you, you really have a handsome appearance. People who are physically strong always taste good." It was as if she was savoring the memory.

Without speaking, she looked at Manager Guo with genuine concern, hope, and expectation, and whispered, "Are there any members of your clan left? Where are they? After you die, I want to bury you all together. That way, you won't be lonely."

As if speaking to an old friend of many years, he was making proper arrangements for his affairs after his death.

Manager Guo, his head motionless, uttered with barely suppressed rage, "What a sharp-tongued little brat! But wait, I'll devour you, and then the beauty beside you, and see if you can still be so foul-mouthed then."

She shook her head gently and sighed softly, 'As expected, you can't get what you want by asking others!'

Then! There was no earth-shattering momentum, nor any dramatic change in the weather. There was only a blade of light that caught no time to react, which, like lightning, pierced through the darkness, accurately slashing into Manager Guo's head and then exiting from below.
