But just then, a shout came from afar.
"By order of the city lord, capture Zhang Long, regardless of his life or death."
Seeing that things were getting worse, the guard abandoned his previous rush and stood still, shouting with all his might.
After saying that, everything went black and he fainted.
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes instantly turned fervent, and then many soldiers surrounded it. However, fearing the fiery sea of fire, they only dared to surround it and did not get too close.
Upon receiving the order, Liu Mu immediately perked up and abandoned any conservative tactics. He slammed the back of his blade heavily on the ground, a wisp of heroic spirit emanating from his dark eyes, and then roared, "Dragon Emperor Formation!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Imperial Guards behind him sprang into action, taking up positions in a very clever manner, with Liu Mu, as the core of the formation, positioned in the very center.
The moment the formation was completed, an ancient and primordial aura surged forth and spread inch by inch. When it touched the ground, it exposed the bare yellow earth. The feeling was like being on an ancient battlefield, full of vicissitudes.
The so-called Dragon Emperor Formation is an extremely ancient formation. Legend has it that it was established by the Dragon Emperor, the ancestor of the Dragon Clan, hence the name Dragon Emperor.
The Dragon Emperor is the sovereign of all dragons, and dragons are the most supreme beings, the progenitors of all things.
Boom
In mid-air, a proud figure stood tall and aloof from the world.
The moment that voice appeared, an extremely arrogant aura slowly spread out. It felt like an ordinary person encountering their god, and the blood in their entire body seemed to boil.
"Greetings...Greetings to Your Majesty..."
Those with slightly lower cultivation levels naturally couldn't resist the noble feeling emanating from their bloodline. It was an existence of absolute crushing power. These were all descendants of the dragon race, with the purest dragon blood flowing through their bodies. Immediately, many of them knelt down and shouted.
Seemingly sensing the call from the blood within his body, Liu Wei's expression changed drastically in horror.
The absolute crushing power emanating from his bloodline rendered him utterly powerless to resist; it was a feeling of supreme sublimity.
He swallowed hard and channeled all his spiritual energy into his knees, thus avoiding the embarrassment of kneeling upright.
However, his situation was not much better at the moment. The absolute crushing power from his bloodline turned him from the advantageous side to the disadvantaged side in an instant.
In fact, he should have thought of this long ago. If someone didn't have some outstanding skills to guard such a crucial military location, why would Wei Xiu have placed them in such a place?
In a way, it was his carelessness that led to this.
But you can't blame him. After all, he really didn't expect that someone would still be able to use the nearly extinct Dragon Emperor Formation. The most important thing is that he didn't treat it like a treasure, but instead came out to guard the city gate.
"Kneel down before the Emperor!"
Liu Mu spoke with an air of authority.
Overwhelmed by the dual pressure from their bloodline, Liu Wei finally couldn't resist and collapsed to his knees with a thud, his face uncontrollably revealing a hint of almost devout reverence.
"Surrender!"
Liu Mu spoke calmly, then gently pointed his palm. Instantly, the imposing figure in the void also pointed a finger, and the power surged forth, piercing through Liu Wei's brow in an instant. Along with it, the intense sea of fire also dissipated.
Liu Mu breathed a sigh of relief, smiled faintly, and then looked at the Imperial Guards beside him, saying, "You did a good job."
Upon receiving the praise, the Imperial Guards all broke into smiles.
When Zhou Mu arrived, this was the scene he saw. However, before he could speak, he noticed that Liu Mu seemed to be acting strangely.
The jade pendant was exposed, which was somewhat unsafe. So, he came in person at someone's request to retrieve it. However, he saw that after Liu Mu got the jade pendant, he turned around and walked straight towards the concave part of the ring.
"Commander?"
The other Imperial Guards also noticed Liu Mu's unusual behavior, but out of respect for their superior, they assumed that Liu Mu had his own plans and did not pay much attention to it.
But at that moment, Liu Mu suddenly took out the jade pendant and, with lightning speed, embedded it into the circular indentation.
Rumble rumble
With several deafening roars, they were shocked to see the protective shield hanging in the air losing its luster at a visible speed, and then slowly dissipating.
"you……"
Zhou Mu was too late; he could only watch helplessly as it happened. By the time he reached Liu Mu, the man had already done everything.
"Hehehe... Didn't expect that, did you? We're in cahoots." Liu Mu let out a strange cry. He tilted his head slightly, watching the plan execute perfectly. The protective shield that could almost change the course of the battle was now in place. He slowly exhaled and curled his lips.
The next moment, his entire body turned into black smoke and disappeared, along with his soul.
"This is...this is a plan to just do this one job and be done with it."
Zhou Mu was stunned, but the situation before him gave him no chance to react. In the next instant, the overwhelming demonic energy swept out, and in a short moment, it took on an invincible form, and began to spread aggressively towards the territory of Tianlong City.
Zhou Mu's expression suddenly changed.
"Level 1 alert! Level 1 alert! To reiterate, Level 1 alert!"
Several sharp roars shattered the tranquility of the night, and the peaceful Tianlong City erupted into chaos.
At this moment, several streaks of light appeared beside Zhou Mu, and as the light dissipated, several figures immediately appeared.
They are Wang Xu, Lu Shan, Hei Bo, and Wei Xiu.
Wei Xiu seemed to have anticipated this, as he showed no surprise whatsoever. He merely glanced at it indifferently before looking away, saying, "The thing I feared most has indeed happened... Sigh!"
Although it was a sigh, little of the regret could be discerned in it.
Zhou Mu looked at Wei Xiu with a puzzled expression and said, "Since you knew all along, why didn't you make plans earlier, instead of delaying until now and causing this irreversible situation?"
Wei Xiu smiled faintly and said, "This is fate, I can't change it. By the way, if I die like this, my daughter is still young, I hope you can take good care of her."
"From what you're saying, it sounds like you're leaving a will?" Zhou Mu's heart skipped a beat.
He knew very well that the situation wasn't serious enough to warrant the death of a Spirit Emperor-level martial artist. After all, a Spirit Emperor-level expert, unless possessing power several times greater, could still move freely.
