Chapter 1682

Zi Chen hated people who did evil under the guise of righteousness.

These guards could stop him. After all, they were on different sides. Zi Chen didn't hold any grudges.

Everyone could attack and use their full strength. Life and death were up to fate.

But … as a ninth stage cultivator, a peak existence in the Domain Realm, he was practically an overlord in the outside world. It was impossible for such an existence to not know right from wrong.

You can pretend to be righteous and fight for humanity, but don't belittle others. Don't step on others for your own sake. But more importantly … don't provoke me and don't step on my head.

Colluding with outsiders.

Sacred city.

Thinking about how those guards had personally let outsiders into the city, Zi Chen felt a nameless flame ignite in his heart.

Although it was only a few words, they had truly angered Zi Chen.

Perhaps these people knew that they were no match for him and were just trying to regain some face. But now, no matter what their goal was, they had to bear the consequences.

Zi Chen, who was about to enter the city in one step, suddenly stopped and turned around to look at those guards.

Killing intent surged around him, and a sheathed saber appeared in his hand.

Zi Chen hadn't used a weapon before, but now he used it.

Holding the sheath in his left hand and the hilt in his right, he instantly pulled out the saber.

Rays of light flashed, and rays of saber light began to flicker. Then, these rays of saber light began to merge and shot towards the ninth stage guards in eight different directions.

"Puff." "Puff." "Puff." "Puff."

"Puff." "Puff." "Puff." "Puff."

Eight rays of saber light directly pierced into the bodies of eight ninth stage guards. All eight of them collapsed.

Five of them died, and the other three were seriously injured.

Shangguan Hong's figure flashed, and she arrived beside the three seriously injured guards. She held a sword that emitted green light in her hand, and three rays of sword energy shot out.

The sword energy chopped off the heads of the three guards cleanly and decisively.

In the blink of an eye, eight people had died. The spectators' faces were filled with shock.

Obviously, Zi Chen had truly unleashed his killing intent at this moment.

The other guards, who were preparing to charge, saw this situation and their expressions changed greatly.

"Kill."

Zi Chen shouted again. He wasn't going to give these people any chance to live.

Man Shi and the others followed suit, not showing any mercy. All kinds of energy vibrated, and the Ninth Layer Guards fell one after another.

All of them were at the Ninth Level. They were extremely powerful existences. But today, they were killed as easily as cutting grass.

"You traitors! You colluded with the non-humankind. Even if we die, there will be others like us …"

Knowing that he was going to die, one of the guards threw caution to the wind and loudly slandered Zi Chen's group. However, before he could finish his words, a bright blade light flashed past his neck.

"Pu."

Blood spurted out as a human head flew high into the air.

"Zi Chen, no matter how powerful you are, you are still a disgrace to the human race." Another voice sounded not far away.

"Go to hell!" Wu Xie coldly shouted. A beam of death shot out from his forehead, instantly killing this person.

The group of twelve unleashed their full power. The vibrating energy was terrifying, and the spectators in the distance kept retreating.

These people had thoroughly infuriated Zi Chen. Naturally, none of them would be left alive.

Seeing such a massacre, some people in the crowd couldn't help but sneer. They turned and ran into the city.

As soon as they entered the city, they shouted, "There are traitors slaughtering the guards outside the city. Everyone, quickly go and help!"

"Zi Chen, ranked one hundred on the Ranking of Generals, has sided with the non-humankind. Right now, he is wantonly slaughtering the guards."

"Everyone, quickly go and help! Fight for the human race!"

All kinds of voices and shouts rang out continuously. Many cultivators in the city flew out.

When the other guards in the city heard this, they also continuously sent out signals to gather.

Soon, the guards gathered one after another. They were all at the Ninth Level.

The leader was a late-stage Ninth Level. He should be the leader of the guards. He shouted at the group, "Everyone, there are people outside who are slaughtering our comrades. It's said that they are experts on the Ranking of Generals. What should we do?"

"How dare they act so atrociously in Imperial Sky City. Even if they are experts on the Ranking of Generals, we will kill them without hesitation."

"How dare they collude with the non-humankind. Kill them without mercy."

"In this battle, even if we have to fight to the death, we must kill those bastards."

Very soon, voices filled with righteous indignation rang out from the group.

Immediately after, under the influence of these voices, the group of several hundred Ninth Level cultivators surged with frenzied killing intent.

The late-stage Ninth Level cultivator was very satisfied with this result. At the same time, he turned his head to look at the other four leaders and asked, "Everyone, what do you think?"

A tall and thin man among them said coldly, "Of course we will kill them. We will not tolerate this kind of thing."

The late-stage Ninth Level cultivator nodded. He looked at the other two and asked, "Leader Mo Sha, Leader Si Ken, what do you think?"

Si Ken was wearing a green battle armor. He looked at the group filled with righteous indignation. He thought for a moment and was about to speak.

Suddenly, his expression changed slightly. He blurted out, "We will not participate in this matter."

An uproar rang out from the group.

Everyone looked at Leader Si Ken in disbelief. The late-stage Ninth Level cultivator was even more stunned.

"You …"

The late-stage Ninth Level cultivator wanted to say something, but Leader Mo Sha suddenly said, "Everyone, I just received news that the non-humankind might be invading. Everyone, follow me."

After saying this, Mo Sha did not greet the others. He flew to the side. No matter how you looked at it, it did not seem to be the direction outside the city.

The group was even more shocked. However, their leader had already left. What were they still doing here?

For a moment, everyone followed.

In the blink of an eye, one of the four large groups was gone.

Si Ken cursed inwardly for being cunning. However, he had no reason to do so. Suddenly, he looked up and saw the towering list. His eyes lit up as a plan came to his mind. "I also just received news that the non-humankind is invading and preparing to attack the list of generals. Now, we will go and protect the list of generals."

Si Ken's subordinates were all stunned.

The non-humankind was invading and attacking the list of generals.

What the hell was going on?

However, Si Ken clearly had no intention of explaining. He turned and left. The entire group followed.

In such a large city, the city guards were divided into many groups. At this moment, of the four groups that had just gathered, two had actually left.

However, the other groups still had not arrived.

The two leaders of the Ninth Level Ninth Level cultivators had ugly expressions. This seemed to be very different from their original plan.

The two leaders who had clearly been mobilized had actually changed their minds at the last moment.

Mo Sha and Si Ken arrived at the list of generals one after the other. Then, the two looked at each other and were both stunned.

"Mo Sha, what is the meaning of this?" Si Ken asked coldly.

"I should be asking you what is the meaning of this. Why did you bring people here instead of exterminating the non-humankind?" Mo Sha asked back.

Si Ken cursed, "Nonhumankind my ass. Those fellows really think that everyone is an idiot."

Just as the two leaders were conversing, the guards who had followed behind were all puzzled and confused.

Si Ken glanced at the people behind him and did not explain. In fact, even now, he did not understand why.

Although he had long seen through the intentions of the two leaders, he did not mind doing them a favor.

As for the end …

The two of them secretly glanced at the old man sitting quietly beside the list of generals. He was looking up at the list of generals with a nostalgic expression.

The two who knew the old man's identity did not dare to disturb him.

After a moment, the old man smiled. "Interesting, very interesting. Perhaps the legend will be rewritten today."

The two of them did not understand. However, following the old man's gaze, they saw a name on the list. It was Zi Chen who had pushed Xu Hou down.

… …

Failing to achieve their goal, the two leaders were somewhat depressed. However, they could only go and stop Zi Chen first.

If they really allowed Zi Chen and the others to enter the city, it would be troublesome.

However, they were still a step too late. Or rather, they had underestimated the combat power of Zi Chen and the others. Before they could reach the city gates, Zi Chen and the others had already entered.

As for the guards outside the city, they had all turned into corpses with residual warmth.

The second brocade recorded the properties of the five major families. Zi Chen had already memorized it. As soon as he entered the city, he released his spiritual senses to check the exact direction.

"Follow me."

Zi Chen shouted. There were many experts in the city. The group could not be separated.

The others followed closely behind Zi Chen.

There were originally many ninth-level guards in the city. However, at this moment, the guards were nowhere to be seen.

Zi Chen continued forward. When he reached the first shop, he did not encounter a single guard.

"Stop."

Several ninth-level guards rushed out from the shop. However, as Zi Chen slashed with his saber, they all died.

"Die."

Another roar sounded. This time, a ninth-level guard came. Soon after, many more guards came from behind.

Zi Chen's cold eyes swept over this person. Without any movement, the void behind him split open. A fist light emitting the light of thunder appeared.

The dazzling fist directly hit the ninth-level guard. However, the fist light did not explode. Instead, it rushed forward with the ninth-level guard.

Perhaps it was a coincidence, but the straight line of the fist light was the towering List of Generals of the Land of Despair.

The fist light, along with the ninth-level guard, hit the List of Generals and exploded with a boom.

The ninth-level guard's body instantly turned into nothingness. Violent energy scattered in all directions.

Some of the violent energy surged into the List of Generals.

As soon as the List of Generals absorbed the energy, it began to tremble. Then, it caused the city to tremble.

In the next moment, the List of Generals shone with a dazzling golden light. This was a sign that the list was changing.

Below the List of Generals, the old man saw this scene and smiled in relief. He said, "We have a successor."

As for Mo Sha, Si Ken, and the other guards, they were completely stunned by the scene before them.

Not only did one punch kill an early ninth-level guard, but the remaining energy fluctuations caused the list to change again.

If Zi Chen really landed a punch on it, how powerful would it be?

Zi Chen and the others had already rushed into the shop. This was the shop of the Bi family. After entering, all who tried to resist were killed.

However, at this moment, in the city, few people paid attention to this massacre. Most people were looking at the List of Generals that was shining with golden light.

This time, on the List of Generals, there were two names shining with dazzling golden light. In other words, the names of two cultivators were about to fall.

Similarly, Zi Chen was about to advance by two ranks.

However, this was only the aftermath of killing a ninth-level guard. If Zi Chen had attacked with all his strength, how much would his ranking have advanced?
