Chapter 154: Breaking the City

Hah…

On the high platform, a bald, burly man let out a violent roar and pounced on his opponent viciously. Clashing head-on, he smashed a fist heavily into his opponent’s chest, sending the man flying directly away, which drew cheers from the crowd. The winner obtained the qualification to advance and became the center of attention, while the defeated one, dripping with blood, was dragged away like a dead dog.

“Next!”

The host stood up and announced the appearance of the next challenger. This time, the one who entered the arena was a Holy Step Magician brimming with Magic Power. As soon as he moved, he summoned a protective shield of Magic Power and then began to chant a convoluted spell. Soon, majestic fluctuations of Magic Power appeared in the sky above the square. Unfortunately, before he could finish casting the Magic, his protective shield was shattered by a punch from the bald, burly man. Following that, with a ‘crack’, his throat bone was crushed alive, and his body collapsed power lessly.

The bald, burly man, nearly three meters tall, possessed a body as majestic as an iron tower and possessed immense strength. Although he had not yet broken through the bottleneck to become a Demi-god Stronger, his powerful strength was already enough for him to sweep through a large number of strong ones at the same level!

“Next!”

The host stood up again; this time, the one who appeared was a Sword Saint holding a heavy sword, whose swordsmanship had reached perfection. Unfortunately, no matter how fast his movements were, they could not compare to the powerful and heavy punch of the bald, burly man. In just a few short breaths, he met the same fate as the previous challengers. Six challengers in a row, without exception, were all smashed to death by the bald, burly man’s single punch. Looking at his strong muscles and tyrannical aura, for a moment, no one dared to go up again.

“Next, next!”

The host called out several times in a row, but unfortunately, no one responded. He shook his head helplessly and was just about to loudly announce the bald, burly man as the final winner when a figure suddenly appeared in the square, walking over slowly. His movements seemed very slow, but in the blink of an eye, he appeared right before everyone. No energy fluctuations could be felt from his body, yet he gave people an unprecedentedly dangerous feeling.

Hu Feng walked out from the darkness; whether it was his appearance or his movements, he looked exactly the same as the dead secret sentry.

Looking at the cross tattoo on his forehead, no one saw through his true identity, except for Sinful Left Hand, the City Lord sitting below, who raised an eyebrow in thought.

“Being able to die under my fist, Tajinia, is your honor. Speak, what is your name! On the day we offer sacrifices to the Demon God Essence Blood, I will salvage your wandering soul!”

Looking at Hu Feng walking up as if seeking death, the bald, burly man named Tajinia had a hideous look on his face. He licked his lips viciously, his eyes completely red, like a bloodthirsty magical beast.

This was the final battle; as long as he killed this challenger, Hu Feng, he could become a true Sinful Guard and gain the qualification to follow the City Lord, Sinful Left Hand, to offer sacrifices to the Demon God Essence Blood. Having stayed at the Peak of the Holy Step for so many years, as long as he had the chance to get close to the Demon God Essence Blood and refine a trace of the will left by the Ancient Demon God, he would have absolute confidence in breaking through the bottleneck in one fell swoop and stepping into the Demi-god Realm!

Demon God Essence Blood?

Hu Feng frowned and quickly searched the secret sentry’s memory, soon understanding what was going on.

The dark Underground World was not only rich in resources but also hid countless treasures. In a stone grotto more than a hundred li east of Sin City, a drop of Ancient Demon God Essence Blood was sealed. Every ten years, Sinful Left Hand would select a group of elites and lead them secretly to the grotto to offer sacrifices to the Ancient Demon God Essence Blood from afar. Although they could not get close, just looking at the Demon God Essence Blood from a distance and refining a trace of the Ancient Demon God will contained within it benefited the guards greatly. To fight for the spots, a fierce battle would unfold every time.

“Should I wait until the sacrifice of the Demon God Essence Blood to make a move, or…”

Hu Feng pondered silently.

Disguising himself as this so-called Sinner to mix in and following Sinful Left Hand to participate in the sacrifice, then launching a sudden attack at that time, would not only allow him to take down the massive Sin City but might also allow him to get the heavily sealed Demon God Essence Blood in his hands. A drop of essence blood left by an Ancient Demon God; if he succeeded, perhaps he could break through to the Demi-god Realm in the blink of an eye and become a true God Step Lich King, ruling over the land. Unfortunately, it was still more than half a year until the sacrifice; that was too long.

“Hahaha, are you scared?”

Seeing Hu Feng motionless, seemingly stunned by his own fierceness, the bald, burly man named Tajinia laughed loudly and took a cold step forward. “Little guy, while the battle hasn’t started yet, get lost!”

Tajinia was one of the top warriors in Sin City, notorious far and wide, and this time he had won six matches effortlessly. Seeing Hu Feng motionless, the host also thought he had developed an intention to retreat. He deliberately paused; seeing that Hu Feng did not withdraw, he then shook his head and announced the start of the final battle.

“Little guy, go to hell!”

As soon as the host announced the start, the bald, burly man pounced on Hu Feng like a fierce tiger. His huge fist brought up a sharp wind, whistling through the air. Just when people thought the motionless Hu Feng was bound to die, he suddenly moved. He did not dodge; instead, he also threw a punch, hitting the bald, burly man’s fist squarely without any deviation.

Dong…

The collision of the two fists set off a gale that sent the host standing not far away flying directly from the shockwave. Hu Feng remained motionless, his expression unchanged, while the aggressive bald, burly man let out an involuntary scream. In an instant, it was as if he had collided with a piece of hard black iron; his tiger’s mouth went numb, his wrist made a ‘crack’ sound and fractured directly, collapsing limply.

“Ignorant fellow, let me show you what true power is!”

Hu Feng took a step forward, and crackling sounds like popping beans came from the muscles and bones inside his body. Without using any Ancient Divine Ability, he directly smashed a fist onto the bald, burly man’s chest. With just one punch, he left a deep fist mark on his chest. There was no scream and no blood; the bald, burly man seemed as if nothing had happened. However, the next moment, his body became transparent and dim, turning into tiny particles of dust under everyone’s gaze, which were swallowed in one mouthful by the Demon God Phantom slowly rising behind Hu Feng. Both his body and soul were destroyed.

Roar…

After devouring the power of the bald, burly man, the massive four-faced, eight-armed Demon God Phantom seemed unsatisfied. It stomped its right foot forcefully, and the hard high platform collapsed along with it. A tyrannical aura spread far away, and endless fear instantly surged into the hearts of every martial artist present.

Half a year was too long; he must seize the day!

After pondering for a moment, Hu Feng decided to act immediately according to plan. The Allied Forces led by the Elf Queen were in a stalemate with the Great Demon King on the second level of the Underground World, and the surrounding castles were weakly defended. Such an opportunity was rare and could not be delayed for a moment. The Ancient Demon God Essence Blood was very important, but as long as he captured the City Lord, Sinful Left Hand, or refined his memory, he could still obtain it!

“Ah…, how could this happen?”

“Impossible, impossible, when did such a top-notch Stronger appear in the clan?”

…

Looking at Hu Feng, who had suddenly turned defeat into victory and was overflowing with imposing manner, the people were deeply shocked. In particular, the massive Demon God Phantom behind him made everyone feel a biting Killing Intent. That’s right, it was Killing Intent, undisguised and sweeping across the world with terrifying terror. They had never felt this kind of aura even from the powerful City Lord! Before they could react, a huge palm suddenly appeared in the air, covering the sky and sun, pressing down viciously like a five-fingered mountain.

Great Destruction Technique!

After refining the power of Prince Barton, the Undead, Hu Feng had not only mastered the Great Eternal Technique but had also plundered all of his divine abilities. Like a Demon God looking down on all living beings, he destroyed the huge castle with one move. Boom, rumble, with one palm press, the few majestic buildings in Sin City all collapsed. The majestic palace in the City Lord’s Mansion was left with only half in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, the castle was filled with a boundless aura—cold, deathly, and depraved. Under this terrifying aura and pressure, the soldiers’ limbs were cold and numb. For a moment, they stared blankly at the sudden change, as if doomsday had arrived, leaving only deep fear in their minds. The massive Demon God Phantom opened its mouth wide, swallowing hundreds of martial artists who had no time to dodge. Even the Stronger who had cultivated to the Peak of the Holy Step had no power to struggle in an instant!

Dong…

Just as the entire castle was about to be destroyed, Sinful Left Hand, who was sitting below the high platform, finally made his move. His figure shot up, smashing Hu Feng’s giant palm head-on with a punch. In an instant, Hu Feng involuntarily retreated a few steps, and an evil, cold aura seeped into his body, corroding the flesh and bones wherever it passed.

A Demi-god Stronger was indeed formidable!

As soon as the City Lord, Sinful Left Hand, made his move, Hu Feng knew that in a head-on fight, he was no match for him right now. With a ‘swish’, he pulled out the sharp Death Oak, ready to strike, and expelled the cold, sinful aura from his body. After receiving the inheritance of the Ruler of Destiny in the Oak Tree World and breaking through to the Holy Step, this treasure became even sharper. As soon as it was drawn, it emitted traces of lingering aura of destiny.

“Who are you, exactly?”

Looking at the Death Oak in Hu Feng’s hand, the battle-hardened Sinful Left Hand’s pupils constricted.

As a Demi-god Stronger, he had not felt such strong danger for many years. The Death Oak in Hu Feng’s hand made him clearly feel the approach of death. This wooden sword, which looked plain and unremarkable, carried great weight. Before even making a move, it gave people an extremely uncomfortable feeling. As soon as this sword appeared, it made one feel as if their lifespan had run out and they were destined to die here.

“Hu Feng. You can call me the City Lord of Blackwater City, or you can call me, Emperor, the Emperor of Wu Gate!”

Hu Feng looked indifferently at the powerful Sinful Left Hand, transformed from a Sinner into his True Body with a shake, and waved his hand to summon the Holy Angel Taliana, the Tree Demon, and the Witch Elder Natalia.

“Quack, quack, quack, the game has officially begun!”

Badeson, the Necromancer who had been prepared for a long time, laughed loudly. He raised his right hand, and a ball of phosphorescent fire suddenly rose into the air, exploding with a ‘boom’. Soon, the sound of ‘crack, crack’ of bones rubbing together came from the distance, and countless Skeleton Warriors surged towards Sin City like a tide from all directions.
