Chapter 43: Slaughter

  ——————————

  "Haha, Huayun, this time see what you can do, if you don't want to become a fugitive pursued by the kingdom, then surrender obediently!" Rost said with a gloomy smile as he looked at Huayun from among the crowd. "However, after surrendering, I cannot guarantee what treatment you will receive, hahaha!"

  In Rost's eyes, Hua Yun was already a lamb to be slaughtered. Hua Yun was very formidable, and Rost acknowledged that, but no matter how formidable Hua Yun was, he was just a young man in his early twenties. Although Rost wasn't clear about the extent of Hua Yun's strength, in his heart, Hua Yun couldn't possibly surpass a fifth-rank White Silver Warrior even if he were a genius.

  The city guard's strength was not strong, but hundreds of people, even if they were filled with them, would be enough to kill him, let alone Huayun, who had to think clearly that taking action against so many city guards would be considered an act of rebellion.

  "Rost, I recall that when I cut off the long sword in your hand earlier, I told you that if we meet again next time, what I cut off will not be just a simple long sword in your hand." Hua Yun did not respond to Rost's words, her face still as calm as ever, but her tone was filled with a strong determination.

  "What I, Hua Yun, have said, I will definitely make it happen. No matter how many difficulties lie ahead, they cannot stop my determination!"

  Hua Yun slowly drew out the Dī Fēng Bǎo Jiàn from his waist, its sharp blade emitting a chilling gleam under the sunlight. Hua Yun's gaze followed the tip of the sword, focusing on Rostein's body.

  For some reason, after listening to Hua Yun's words, on this sweltering afternoon, a chilling sensation suddenly rose from the bottom of Roste's heart, instantly seeping into every inch of his skin. At this moment, Hua Yun in front of him seemed to have transformed into a ferocious giant dragon, coldly staring at him, making Roste's entire body tremble with fear.

  "Kill him, kill him quickly!" Rostov's voice rang out in a desperate scream, his tone full of terror, his eyes wide with fear, shouting loudly.

  Those city guards stared at Rost in astonishment, unable to understand why Lord Rost had suddenly gone mad, but despite this, they still had to follow the orders he gave. The dozens of city guards standing in the front row immediately shouted loudly and surrounded Huayun and his two companions.

  "Both of you, remember to protect yourselves!" Hua Yun whispered a sentence to Baru and Bak beside her, as soon as the words fell, Hua Yun suddenly sprang into action, a residual shadow flashed by, and Hua Yun had already charged into the surging city guards with the Rapid Wind Sword in hand.

  Innumerable cries of despair erupted instantly, with Hua Yun's strength capable of defeating a sixth-tier Golden Warrior in this world. Among these city guards who were only at the first or second tier, he was like a wolf entering a flock of sheep, and no one could be his match. The Wind Treasure Sword shook continuously, its exquisite swordsmanship unfolding, each strike hitting the wrists of others. Any city guard struck by Hua Yun instantly lost their combat effectiveness.

  "Roar!" Baru and Baku, the two brothers, let out a loud roar, their massive battle-axes spinning like high-speed windmills as they charged into the crowd. Unlike Huayun, wherever Baru and Baku went, blood and flesh flew everywhere, severed limbs scattered all over the place, as if two tanks had burst into the crowd.

  "Stop them, stop them quickly!" Seeing the situation on this side, those small leaders and more than a dozen small team leaders immediately shouted loudly, and the whole scene suddenly became chaotic.

  They came under Roster's lead, never thinking things would turn out this way. In their minds, they just thought they were coming to put on a show or have a small fight, as it had always been before. But the situation that has now occurred is clearly beyond their expectations. Do these three guys really not want to live? Don't they know the consequences of doing things this way?

  Those little leaders and squad leaders have already lost their temper, in a short moment, the city guard has already lost more than a dozen brothers. Now, no matter what the result is, in front of Lord Harvi, they will inevitably be punished. If they still stand here and only watch, not to mention punishment, they may lose their position. At this moment, those little leaders and squad leaders are thinking about their own positions rather than their safety.

  Kill them, thinking of this, the several small leaders and more than a dozen small team leaders shouted in unison, rushing towards the location of the Ba brothers. Under the leadership of their superiors, facing the Ba brothers who were frantically chopping at them, several third-tier Black Iron warriors let out a loud roar, desperately charging towards the Ba brothers with techniques that would result in mutual destruction.

  If their opponents were normal people, they would have avoided the sharp edge, but unfortunately, they faced the Ba brothers. Seeing those three third-tier Black Iron Warriors charging over without regard for their lives, the Ba brothers also let out a loud roar, and the huge greataxes in their hands brought forth massive sonic booms that shattered the air, completely unafraid of the opponents' life-or-death moves, and fiercely collided with them.

  Bang!

  A loud crashing sound came, and those three-stage warriors under the attack of the Ba brothers, let out several shrill cries, and fell to the ground with blood splattering everywhere. The Ba brothers also added several wounds that flowed with blood on their bodies.

  "Roar!" The Ba brothers let out another furious roar, their eyes turning bright red in an instant. The muscles on their arms bulged, and they seemed to grow several inches taller in the blink of an eye. Several city guards surrounding them were shocked and retreated in unison. What was even more astonishing was that the cyan fourth-stage bronze battle aura around their bodies suddenly transformed into a silver-white fifth-stage white silver battle aura, increasing their power exponentially, instantly cutting down several city guards nearby.

  Under the siege of many city defense troops, the Ba brothers went crazy!

  "Impossible!" After feeling a terrifying aura emanating from this side, Hua Yun stared blankly at the battle energy on the bodies of the Ba brothers, which had transformed from 4th-stage Bronze Battle Energy to 5th-stage White Silver Battle Energy. His heart was filled with incredulity - how could the Ba brothers possibly advance from 4th stage to 5th stage without the Divine Fruit?

  The phenomenon that has appeared on the bodies of the Ba brothers at this moment completely violates the rules set by the gods in the legend of this world.

  No time to think of anything else, Hua Yun's eyes were fixed intently on Rostein in the crowd, her whole body like a sailboat riding the wind and waves, wherever she went, those city guards were scattered, in an instant, Hua Yun had already rushed to Rostein's face.

  "Ah!" Roste let out a loud roar, the long sword in his hand, which had been prepared for a long time, stabbed towards Huayun swiftly and fiercely. The four-stage bronze Dou Qi flashed continuously on the sword, aiming straight for Huayun's throat.

  "Hmm!" Huayun let out a cold hum, and the Wind Sword appeared in front of Rostein like lightning, infusing its attribute power. The Wind Sword clashed with Rostein's long sword, shattering it into powder along with his arm.

  Rost's right hand suddenly felt a severe pain, and in his shocked gaze, his right hand was instantly crushed into powder, with blood spraying out like a fountain.

  Rost clenched his teeth, enduring the intense pain, and turned to flee, but before he could take action, a long sword with a cold and sinister aura was already placed at his throat.

  "Everyone, stop right now! Otherwise, I'll kill him with one sword!" Huayun's voice exploded in a loud shout as he held Rost hostage, his eyes fixed intently on Baru and Bak, who were surrounded by the city guards.

  "Who dares to be so arrogant in the Azure City!" Just then, a thunderous roar suddenly came from afar, and the next moment, that voice had already arrived nearby.

  A middle-aged man wearing samurai armor quickly approached the crowd of Ba brothers, with a giant sword in his hand, and the bright white light on it was particularly dazzling under the sunlight.

  "Huh? Seventh-level White Gold Warrior?! Baru, Baku, be careful!"

  Feeling the powerful aura on that person, Hua Yun loudly shouted at the crisis-stricken Ba brothers, her pupils suddenly shrinking and staring fixedly at the middle-aged martial artist who had arrived last.

  For a moment, Huayun's eyes only had that dazzling white light, the oppressive atmosphere swept through the scene, making people breathless!
