Chapter 784 Earth-shattering, A Single Sword Divides the City
"not good!"
The white-haired, youthful-looking old man watched the bright "thin line" descend, and a great fear arose in his heart.
He wanted to stop it, but found he simply couldn't muster the courage to stand in front of that "thin line".
His instincts as a primordial spirit told him that he absolutely could not confront this "thin line".
Otherwise, he would have no other fate but death!
Therefore, the white-haired, youthful-looking old man could only watch helplessly as that condensed "thin line," with the power to cleave heaven and earth, cut towards Zhou Tian City.
Whoosh!
It sounds complicated, but in reality, it all happens in a single instant.
The bright "thin line" appeared to fall slowly, but in reality, it fell at an extremely fast speed.
From the moment the white-haired, youthful-looking old man saw it until it was completely severed, it was only a matter of a breath.
Then, in a flash, everything—buildings, city walls, formations, or the ground—vanished.
Everything is utterly vulnerable in the face of this "thin thread".
Even the array light screen that always shines in the inner city is the same.
It was cut open like tofu.
The "thin thread" sank into the ground, and the next moment, its power erupted, causing the earth to shake violently.
The entire Zhou Tian City began to tremble, shaking and slowly parting to both sides along the crack cut by the "silk thread".
"What's going on? Has the earth dragon turned over?"
"Are you out of your mind? This is Zhou Tian City, how could there possibly be an earth dragon turning over here!"
"Then what's causing this vibration now?"
"Could it be related to the bright light that fell from the sky just now?"
"Is it an enemy attack?!"
"Look at the inner city! The array light barrier in the inner city has disappeared!"
...
Amidst the shaking and tremors, the entire population of Zhou Tian City was in a state of panic, completely unaware of what was happening.
It should be noted that Zhou Tiancheng is the stronghold of the Gongshu family, with an unparalleled array protecting it.
Logically speaking, even if a real earth dragon were to rise up, it shouldn't be able to shake this vast city that stretches for thousands of miles.
But now, whether it's the shaking of the ground or the disappearance of the inner city's array light barrier, they all feel extremely uneasy.
I don't understand what happened.
"That was sword energy? How is that possible..."
Above the inner city, an old man with white hair and a youthful face stared blankly down below.
From his position, he could see much more clearly what had just happened.
That bright "thin line" was actually a sword aura that had been condensed to the extreme.
This sword energy separated heaven and earth, and was incomparably sharp.
Nothing within Zhou Tiancheng could stop it in the slightest.
Even the light barrier of the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Array in the inner city was shattered by this terrifying sword energy.
The entire Zhou Tian City was cleaved in two by this thin, thread-like sword energy.
Sword energy erupted from deep underground, forcibly separating the two halves of Zhou Tian City and pushing them apart continuously.
This is why the city's inhabitants felt the entire city shaking.
"Who exactly is it?"
The white-haired, youthful-looking old man trembled as he looked at Zhou Tiancheng, who was splitting along the central axis and still shifting to both sides.
He looked up at the sky.
With a single sword strike, he cleaved through the vast Zhou Tian City, which stretched for thousands of miles and was protected by a powerful array. Such an existence far exceeded his imagination.
Such astonishing power is simply beyond the capabilities of ordinary Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.
Even their own family's Eight Tribulation Ancestor, who had already gone out to travel the starry sky, could not do such a thing.
It is likely that only those who stand at the pinnacle of the Primordial Spirit Realm, the legendary Nine Tribulations Primordial Spirits who are rarely seen, could possibly achieve this.
But when did the Gongshu family provoke such a being?
"father!"
"Father! What happened?"
Just then, several figures emanating the aura of the Nascent Soul Realm flew out from the inner city and came to the side of the white-haired, youthful-looking old man.
It was those few Nascent Soul Realm elders from the Gongshu family who were clearly alarmed by the sudden turn of events.
They came up to the sky and looked down. When they saw the sword mark that stretched across the entire Zhou Tian City and had expanded to be dozens of feet wide, they were all shocked.
"Father, what's going on?"
One of the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators immediately asked.
However, they saw that their father was looking up, staring blankly at the sky as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.
They quickly followed their father's gaze and looked up.
Then you see a figure slowly descending from the sky against the light.
The figure held a long sword, wore a black cloak, and had a strange ghost mask on his face.
He exuded no aura whatsoever, as if he were a ghost.
However, several Gongshu family elders immediately recognized him as the little thief who had infiltrated Zhou Tian City, assassinated the seventh brother, and stolen all the treasures from the second branch's treasury.
"Look, there are people in the sky, they are the ancestors of the Gongshu family!"
"Who's on the other side of them? Could he have caused the tremor?"
"This outfit... it's the same one worn by the assassin who killed Gongshu Qizu back then! He's actually back!"
"Wasn't it said that the assassin was killed by the patriarch of the Gongshu family back then? How come he has reappeared?"
The aura emanating from several of the Gongshu Ancestors finally caught the attention of the city's inhabitants.
When they saw the figure descending from the sky, countless memories from decades ago were awakened, causing a commotion.
There was no way around it; the upheaval he caused in Zhou Tiancheng back then was simply too great.
Not only were the seven ancestors of the Gongshu family assassinated, but he also killed several Nascent Soul Realm cultivators in the outer city.
So even after so many years, countless city residents still remember it vividly.
Upon seeing the black cloak and the ghost mask, I recognized him immediately.
However, it is rumored that the patriarch of the Gongshu family had already killed the assassin back then, but now it seems that the rumor is probably false.
"You scoundrel, how dare you show your face again..."
Seeing Lu Qing fall from the sky, one of the Gongshu family elders shouted and was about to make a move.
However, before he could finish speaking, a sword aura began to grow larger in his field of vision.
The next moment, everything went black before his eyes, and he knew nothing more.
The words that were meant to be said were stuck in his throat, and he could no longer utter them.
However, a sword aura that Lu Qing had flicked out pierced through his brow, annihilating his primordial spirit along with all his life force.
"Fifth brother!"
"Fifth Brother!"
He saw his brother's head pierced by a sword, lifeless, his body falling to the ground.
All the members of the Gongshu family at the Nascent Soul stage shouted.
Amidst shock and anger, a chill ran through me.
They knew very well what kind of strength the fifth brother possessed; his cultivation at the third tribulation of the primordial spirit realm was second only to their father and their eldest and second brothers among them.
Despite his strength, he couldn't even withstand a single sword strike from his opponent and was instantly killed.
Is the person wearing the ghost mask in front of me really that thief from back then?
The sight of the five ancestors of the Gongshu family falling from the sky without any aura caused a huge uproar among the countless citizens below.
