Chapter 97

Shifting the Blame

"Big brother Yan, do not be fooled by this person!

I definitely do not have such thoughts. Moreover, even if you release this person now, it is already too late. After all, allowing someone to barge into the interior of the Hall of Penal Law is a serious crime. The both of us are actually grasshoppers on the same rope. "

Gu Shang involuntarily cried out in a somewhat anxious manner when he saw the hesitation on the face of the man surnamed Yan.

The man surnamed Yan was startled. He immediately looked deeply at Gu Shang before waving his hand and crying out, "Kill this person on the spot. Do not let this person escape from this place."

Once they finished speaking, the ten black-armored soldiers released the Yuan Power within their bodies without any hesitation. In an instant, the entire hall was covered under the fluctuation of Yuan Power.

Zhuowen's footsteps continued to move as he dodged the attacks of the ten black-armored soldiers. His eyes had also become much gloomier.

"You are the one who forced me to do this!"

Zhuowen violently threw down these words. His right hand pressed on his brow and immediately summoned the jade cauldron. His right hand gently patted the bottom of the jade cauldron and a black flame the size of a human face slowly appeared.

The temperature of the hall immediately rose sharply when the black flame appeared. The originally dark and cold hall was actually incomparably hot like a furnace at this moment. Threads of hot air were continuously being emitted from the ground.

"This is … the Nirvana Demon Flame?

Oh my god, this fellow actually has such an evil thing. Moreover, it looks like he can control it? "

The eyes of the man surnamed Yan protruded. Threads of disbelief rose within his eyes. His mouth involuntarily widened as he cried out in shock.

The corner of Zhuowen's mouth immediately revealed a dark and vicious smile when the words of the man surnamed Yan sounded. The Mental Energy of his Niwan Palace was released and the black flame slowly spread over the surface of both of Zhuowen's fists. It was as though his fists were wearing a pair of gloves. However, this pair of gloves was purely formed from the strange black flame.

The ten black-armored soldiers also sensed the powerful aura of the strange black flame in the hands of the young man in front of them. Although their faces revealed a strange expression, they did not stop their charging bodies.

Clang!

A cold glint flashed and a black halberd suddenly pierced toward the spot between Zhuowen's brows. Raising his hand slightly, Zhuowen did not dodge. Instead, his right hand suddenly extended out like a snake and actually grabbed the black halberd with his bare hand.

The smile on the face of the soldier holding the halberd immediately stiffened. This was because he saw that the black halberd had actually turned into nothingness in the hands of the young man. More accurately, it was completely swallowed by the black flame.

"How is this possible?"

The soldier felt a chill in his heart. Soon after, he saw the palm wrapped in black flames coming towards him.

A trace of cold sweat slowly flowed down from the soldier's forehead. He suddenly unleashed the Yuan Power in his body. Cold air immediately covered his entire body, turning into a cold and dense Void Armor. His palm also landed on the former's chest the moment the Void Armor formed.

A scene that stunned everyone appeared. The Void Armor, which was unique to warriors in the Yin Void Realm, was shattered like paper under the strange black hand. The blazing black flame penetrated the Void Armor and fell on the soldier's body.

Whoosh!

With a scream, the soldier with the cultivation of the Yin Void Realm was instantly enveloped by the black flame. The scream stopped abruptly, and the soldier disappeared without a trace, leaving only a pile of ashes.

The entire place immediately fell silent, as if time had stopped. The remaining nine soldiers, the man surnamed Yan, and Gu Shang all stared blankly at the pile of ashes on the ground. The place had become terrifyingly quiet.

No one had expected that an expert in the Yin Void Realm would be killed by a young man who was only about 60 years old in one move. Moreover, he died without a complete corpse.

Gazing at the young man who was not far away, everyone present felt a chill in their hearts.

"You killed Ah Qiu. I'll make you pay with your life for Ah Qiu's!"

The eyes of the remaining nine soldiers in black armor suddenly became extremely red. The ten of them had worked together for more than ten years, and their relationship was almost like that of brothers. Now that one of them had died, the other nine soldiers in black armor were filled with grief and indignation. Their gazes towards Zhuowen became filled with resentment and hatred.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Powerful Origin Energy abruptly erupted from the bodies of the nine Black Armors. After that, the nine of them waved their black halberds with great tacit understanding and abruptly flashed straight towards Zhuo Wen with surging killing intent and an indomitable will.

Zhuowen stood in the same place, straightening his back. There was no fear on his face. His muscles tightened, and countless blood lines crisscrossed on the surface of his body.

Howl!

Endless blood light burst out from his body, and a huge illusory ape slowly condensed behind him. Immediately, the ape clenched its right fist and made a crackling sound. Then, it suddenly punched out.

Boom!

The powerful Yuan Power violently swept through the entire hall, and the remaining stone tables and benches in the hall turned into powder under the aftermath of this power.

Under this punch, the nine people who were besieging him immediately spat out blood. However, the nine of them were unyielding. They forcefully endured the injuries on their bodies and desperately urged the Yuan Power in their bodies. A huge black halberd shadow condensed in front of them.

"Armor Breaking Halberd!"

The nine people shouted in unison. The huge black halberd pierced through the void and turned into a fierce black light, rushing towards Zhuowen.

Boom!

The black halberd actually pierced through the illusory ape in an instant. Soon after, under the surprised gazes of the nine people, it rushed towards Zhuowen's forehead. Its powerful speed seemed to have torn the space apart, and it let out an ear-piercing rumbling sound.

Under the black halberd, the youth gently raised his head. His hair fluttered in the wind, and a trace of an arc bloomed at the corner of his mouth. The youth's hands moved continuously, and the fist that was covered in black flames fiercely swung upwards. The powerful Yuan Power and the black flames continuously intertwined, and for a moment, it actually became dazzling and colorful.

Under everyone's incredulous gazes, the youth's fist fiercely swung out. At the instant when it came into contact with the huge black halberd, there was no earth-shattering explosion of energy, nor was there any earth-shattering sound. There was only the faint crackling sound of the strange black flames burning faintly.

The object of the burning was the huge black halberd. Under the burning of the black flames, the majestic black halberd slowly melted like ice in June, and finally turned into nothingness.

The smiles on the faces of the nine black-armored soldiers gradually froze, and a trace of horror slowly spread across their faces. The Armor Breaking Halberd was their combined armor technique, and also their strongest move. It was difficult for even a warrior in the Ninth Level of the Yin Void Realm to resist this move.

But now, it had been easily blocked by a youth who had just entered the Yin Void Realm. This huge contrast made the nine black-armored soldiers, who had experienced hundreds of battles, feel somewhat incredulous.

"Have you had a good fight?

Since you've had a good fight, it's my turn now! "

The light voice slowly sounded in the hall. Immediately, the youth standing not far away suddenly turned into an indiscernible illusory shadow in front of everyone.

Lowering his waist, Zhuowen came in front of the nearest soldier like a vigorous cheetah. His right hand, which was covered with black flames, gently stretched out and penetrated the soldier's heart. After his right hand was pulled out, another pile of ashes was left on the ground.

At this moment, Zhuowen seemed to have transformed into a Death God who had stepped out of an endless hell. Every time he took a step, a fresh life would disappear.

The blazing temperature of the Nirvana Demon Flame restrained the Void Armor of a warrior in the Yin Void Realm. Although the Nirvana Demon Flame in Zhuowen's hand was not as powerful as before, it was more than enough to deal with a warrior in the Yin Void Realm. Therefore, Zhuowen, who was also a warrior in the Yin Void Realm, was able to instantly kill the nine black-armored soldiers whose realms were higher than his.

"Ah!"

When the last scream sounded, the nine black-armored soldiers in the field all turned into a pile of ashes. Only the pale-faced Gu Shang and the man with the surname of Yan were left in the field.

Gulp!

Gu Shang's throat moved with difficulty. Looking at the piles of ashes in the field, his face became even paler.

During the battle of the market place, he stood on the platform and looked down. He didn't feel much when Zhuowen killed Wang Shuo. Now, seeing the ten powerful black-armored soldiers turn into a pile of ashes at such a close distance, it was absolutely like a nightmare for Gu Shang, who had never experienced a bloody scene.

"Zhuowen!

You're finished. You dared to kill the black-armored soldiers of the Hall of Penal Law without permission. You have violated the bottom line of the Governor's Mansion. You will become a sinner of the Governor's Mansion. "

Gu Shang's voice was trembling, but he was still full of energy. After all, this was the Hall of Penal Law, where there were countless experts. He was afraid that the movement here had already attracted the attention of other experts hidden in the hall.

Once these experts took action, no matter how unfathomable Zhuowen was, he would definitely die. Once Zhuowen died, his goal would be achieved.

"You forced me to do this. Even if I die today, I'll drag you down with me. Gu Shang, you can die now!"

Zhuowen's eyes were scarlet red as he coldly stared at Gu Shang. Soon after, his legs shot out, and his entire body shot towards Gu Shang like a cannonball. The black flames in his hands burned even more fiercely.

Gu Shang's face turned even paler as he stared at the approaching figure. Rolling like a wild donkey, he miserably hid behind the man with the surname Yan.

The man with the surname Yan solemnly stared at the approaching Zhuowen. He suddenly took a step forward, and a powerful aura surged out from his body as he threw out a punch.

"Zhuowen, even if you weren't in the wrong earlier, you've killed ten black-armored soldiers. Therefore, you won't be able to escape the pursuit of our Hall of Penal Law!

The dignity of our Hall of Penal Law cannot be violated. You'd better be captured now, or you're dead meat! "

Zhuowen coldly smiled, ignoring the man with the surname Yan's words. He suddenly threw out both his fists, and the black flames on the surface of his fists immediately surged out, becoming even more intense.

Bang!

The fists of the two suddenly collided. Immediately, a strong wind blew between the two of them, and the surging energy enveloped the entire hall. With a cracking sound, the floor of the hall began to crack, as if it couldn't withstand the energy of the two of them. Finally, it abruptly collapsed, and the hall began to shake under the impact of the two of them.

Deng Deng Deng!

The eyes of the man with the surname Yan shrunk. Under the powerful burning force of the black flames, he let out a muffled groan and took three steps back. His gaze was somewhat surprised as he stared at the young man, who also took a few steps back.

The young man in front of him was only fifteen years old. On the surface, his cultivation was clearly at the Yin Void Realm. However, the young man's strength was actually not weaker than his. Although he knew that the young man's strength relied on the strange Nirvana Demon Flame, being able to control the Nirvana Demon Flame was already a part of his strength.

He finally knew why the City Governor had given the quota of the Yuan Qi Tower to the young man in front of him. It was because this young man was too monstrous. Even the City Governor had attached great importance to him.

The man with the surname Yan glanced at Gu Shang, who was trembling behind him, and shook his head slightly. A trace of regret rose in his eyes.

Offending a young man with abnormal talent and strength for an incompetent hedonistic Gu Shang was really not worth the loss.

Zhuowen, who had taken a few steps back, shook his head helplessly. The strength of the man with the surname Yan was similar to Wang Shuo back then. Currently, the Nirvana Demon Flame in Zhuowen's body had not recovered. It was really difficult for him to deal with the man with the surname Yan.
