Chapter 792 (2/2)

…

A human figure kept flashing about, darting through the spatial gaps.

It was The School of Sword Arts’ Supreme Chief who was performing his Astral Obscurity Sword.

This unparalleled Killing sword, which had been created from The School of Sword Arts’s ultimate manual”Star Fate Sword Manual”, had previously soared to great fame in the Supreme Chief’s hands. Additionally, it was viewed as one of the strongest sword techniques in the Empire.

Fang Xingjian had also learned this sword technique in the past and used it to dart between spatial gaps and defeat many powerful enemies. Thereafter, Fang Xingjian had even combined countless sword arts essence into this sword technique’s foundations, creating a world-astonishing Infiltrating Void Sword.

Right now, The School of Sword Arts’ Supreme Chief had reached tier two of the Divine level, and the prowess of his Astral Obscurity Sword had grown even greater. He darted freely amongst the spatial gaps, changing in size, hiding and revealing himself.

He could make himself as big as a mountain or as small as a physical particle.

Still, he continued escaping, with hints of fear flashing in his eyes occasionally. It was because he understood well how terrifying the monster chasing after him was.

A soft kacha sound rang out, and a stream of red light flashed past him in the air. Supreme Chief Heng Tianxiao was pushed out from the spatial gaps and flew out like a rubber ball. He smashed into and turned over houses and streets for over 3,000 meters, leaving behind large areas of ruins.

His entire body was in shatters, and streams of light spots rapidly dissipated from his body.

Supreme Chief Heng Tianxiao felt as if his martial will and conjured physique were both on the verge of collapsing from that single strike, like his body would completely dissipate at any moment.

‘Just a single blow… and I’m going to be killed?’

The corners of Heng Tianxiao’s lips curled up into a bitter smile. The prowess of these Mages was truly much more stronger than Knights of the same level.

Walking amidst the ruins, the Red Mage King looked at Heng Tianxiao from afar and revealed an uninterested expression. He had already lost interest in this prey.

However, halfway there, he suddenly came to a stop and threw a curious look toward something underneath the ruins.

Under the ruins, a large number of commoners were exposed. They either laid down on their backs or stomachs or sat there like they were dead.

As the houses along the street exploded, these commoners were thrown out like unearthed bugs and seemed as if they were dead. They were thrown into the sky and then landed on the ground, either buried, thrown aside, with their bodies torn apart, or burned into char.

These commoners, who were either really dead or just appeared as such, all had their heads wrapped up by purple bugs.

‘Hmmm?’

The Red Mage King squatted down and reached out a hand to grab a bug that had covered up a commoner’s face. As he pulled abruptly, a sound, which was like a piece of cloth being torn up, rang out. Countless tentacles were pulled out from the person’s head and face.

Clearly, these bugs did not just wrapped themselves onto the people’s heads, but they also inserted their tentacles into the brains.

After the bug was removed, the Red Mage King could no longer sense any brain waves coming from the commoner although his vital signs were still there.

The Red Mage King grabbed out curiously, tearing the commoner’s arm into pieces, but the other party still did not show any signs of awakening. It was as if he had entered into a vegetative state.

‘What the hell?’ Looking at the jellyfish-like purple bug in his hand, the Red Mage King gave it some thought before biting down on it.

He then spat it out, ‘This is too disgusting. It’s like sh*t that has been air-dried for ten years.’

Shaking his head, the Red Mage King soon lost interest in the bugs and commoners under his feet. He turned his head and continued walking toward The School of Sword Arts’ Supreme Chief, who was severely injured.

Right now, the over five million population of the entire Imperial Capital was buried under the Red Mage King’s feet. All of the people had their heads wrapped up by the same kind of bug, and they laid under the ruins as if they had all entered a vegetative state. It was like they had lost their souls.
