Zuo Yuan absorbed the power of nearly a dozen bandits, and his own power continued to rise, even reaching the peak of the Six Harmonies realm.
Faced with Zuo Yuan at this level, Yang Cheng had no choice but to dodge left and right to escape; a direct confrontation would only waste his strength.
Moreover, Zuo Yuan's power shows no signs of stopping. If given more time, he might even reach the Five Dou Realm!
Integrating so much power at once puts immense pressure on Zuo Yuan.
His attacks now appear incredibly sluggish, lacking even much variation.
However, once the power reaches this level, not many changes are needed.
The countless handprints rained down, giving Yang Cheng no chance to get close, forcing him to scramble and dodge to escape.
Yang Cheng wanted to use his power of extermination to fight Zuo Yuan head-on, but in his current state, he couldn't get close at all, so even if he tried, he couldn't win.
"Yang Cheng! Die!"
Zuo Yuan's entire body was covered in open wounds, making him look extremely ferocious.
The power emanating from his body was incredibly strong, even reaching the edge of the Six Harmonies and Five Dou realms, touching the limits of this world.
A tremendous tremor came from the ground, as if an earth dragon were turning over.
Huge beams of energy shot up from the ground and stretched across the sky.
Yang Cheng's gaze sharpened.
We can't let Zuo Yuan continue like this.
Once he raises his power to the Five Dou Realm, that will be the true pinnacle of this world. Even if I use all my trump cards, I might not be able to shake him.
With the power of extermination unusable, the only power Yang Cheng could imagine that could restrain Zuo Yuan was the Child of the Underworld.
After using the Child of the Underworld, he would fall into a weakened state. However, Wei Lingyun and the others had already surrendered, Yin Wuxie and the others were still by his side, and the other bandits had all had their power drained by Zuo Yuan, leaving them with no power to fight back.
Therefore, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Yang Cheng can avoid most of the risks once the plan is activated.
Having made up his mind, Yang Cheng took out the half of the stone eye and frantically poured the golden light of the City Emperor's inheritance and the bloodthirsty aura of the Seven Killings Star Lord into it.
As the power of divine inheritance was infused into the Child of the Underworld, an astonishing light faintly emanated from the stone eye.
The moment the power of the Child of Hades faintly emanated, Yin Wuxie, Wei Lingyun, and the others all trembled.
It was a chilling sensation brought on by a power far beyond their imagination.
Zuo Yuan, who was the first to be targeted by this force, reacted even more noticeably.
His entire body began to crack, large chunks of flesh and blood dissipated, and the power of those secret treasures overflowed wildly, as if they were terrified of the power of the Child of the Underworld.
"Impossible!? This is impossible!"
Zuo Yuan watched as his physical body split and crumbled, his power dissipating. His face was twisted and contorted, making him look like a vengeful ghost.
He poured all his strength into killing Yang Cheng in the capital, only to have his ultimate power, which he had gained at the cost of his life, crumble before Yang Cheng. How could he accept this?
However, as the pressure from the Child of Hades grew stronger, Zuo Yuan completely collapsed, leaving only a bronze crown behind, but no trace of abnormal power could be seen.
This was something Yang Cheng hadn't expected.
He only wanted to unleash the power of the Underworld Child to fight Zuo Yuan to the death, but he did not expect that Zuo Yuan's power would dissipate on its own under the pressure of the Underworld Child, as if they were afraid of the power of the Underworld Child.
Or rather, the Child of Hades is one or even several levels stronger than these treasures, possessing a natural suppressive power.
Zuo Yuan was already dead, so Yang Cheng could no longer urge the Underworld Child to fight thin air.
However, the power of the Child of Hades was too great; just activating it almost exhausted all of Yang Cheng's divine inheritance power.
Forcibly reclaiming the power of the Child of Hades had almost exhausted all of Yang Cheng's strength, causing his face to turn pale.
"Boss, are you alright?"
Ye Meiniang rushed over and helped Yang Cheng up.
Yang Cheng shook his head and said, "It's nothing. Meiniang, go and lead your men to kill the remaining bandits on the spot and take the treasures from their bodies."
Yuwen Du, go find Grand Tutor Cai and report to the court that the thirty-six major bandits have been completely wiped out, and ask Grand Tutor Cai to send people to rebuild Zhenwu Hall.
Wu Xie, take stock of the casualties and temporarily set up branches in other places. Don't let Zhenwu Hall fall into paralysis.
"Chu Qiu and Huang Qi, rest assured, you have done a great job in killing Zuo Yuan this time. I will absolutely not go back on my promise to you."
With his last bit of strength, Yang Cheng explained everything to everyone before finding a place to recover his strength.
The commotion caused by the thirty-six bandits' surprise attack on the capital was so great that the Empress Dowager and the Emperor in the palace must be too frightened to sleep.
However, Yang Cheng's forces had not yet recovered, and there were still a lot of things to deal with. He was too lazy to appease them, so he decided to let Grand Tutor Cai handle it.
In one night, Yang Cheng recovered 80% of his strength. At this moment, Ye Meiniang knocked on the door outside, saying that Wei Lingyun and the others were waiting for her outside, and had been waiting for her for half the night.
As Yang Cheng walked out, Wei Lingyun and the other six quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Grand Commander."
"Please don't be so polite, everyone. I said last night that I would not go back on my promise to you, so why are you in such a hurry?"
Yang Chang waved his sleeves and calmly sat down in front of the hall, while also inviting Wei Lingyun and the others to sit down.
