Chapter 360 (1/2)

The two black silhouette stared at each other with a dumbfounded expression. It took them quite a while to believe what they were seeing.

Didn't we just got an order to scout the capital city that was rumored to be stable?

Then why are the buildings suddenly getting blown apart like that?

”Something must've happened.. let's investigate!”

Shuu!! Shuu!!

The two figures flitted into dark shadows as they swept around the corner before disappearing from their surroundings..

...

”My palace.. my city...” Liu Gongsun Xiaojian wanted to scream and cry if not for her position and dignity as the Emperor that was at stake right then and there.

If one looked at the capital city from above, it would seemed like a colossal giant had left a huge foot print right in the middle of her beautiful Ethereal Winter city, making it look like an ugly stain on the perfect canvas!

Despite the name, the city was not covered with ice, at least not anymore. This was because the cold breeze from the North of the Liu Empire that went around creating snow in the atmosphere, immediately melted before even reaching the ground and turned into vapor from the heat radiated out by the runic formations laid in each of the buildings.

In essence, the runic formations acted as both the dampener and a central heater for the city, by venting the accumulated spiritual Qi from the surrounding into the form of heat!

Thus, since the middle part of the city was now destroyed, the entire connection of the runic formation within the city was cut off, resulting in snow starting to accumulate on the ground!

Hais!

”Now we have to make urgent repairs for the runic formations to work again..” Liu Sheng Duhai sighed as he called a few people and gave them some instructions.

As for the Liu Emperor, it took her a long while to calm herself down.

”Hmph! You are strong indeed. But I never expected you to destroy my city like this! How can you be so relentless?!” she said to Duan Li, a hint of anger still remained in her eyes.

When Duan Li used 50% of his strength, who could've thought that the power level did not scale to her previous assumption?

His power immediately skyrocketed to the Pinnacle stage of the Nascent Soul realm instead of the Late stage!

Realizing that she had gravely miscalculated the potency of someone who cultivated all his three dantian, she quickly wanted to tell Duan Li to stop, but the latter then increased his power further to 60%, causing even her the Emperor, to suddenly bent down to her knees from the sheer pressure of his aura!

Before she could even make sense of the unfathomable power that could force her into that state, Duan Li then pushed to 70% of his full strength, making the pressure exerted on her body increased by several folds, resulting in her face being planted on the ground as if a child's face being pushed into the mud by their grandfather for running around naked!

It was fortunate that everyone was also affected including the Knights and guards, and some were even knocked unconscious! Otherwise, she would not know what will remain of her dignity if they saw her like that.

”Ah? You were the one asking me to do it...” Duan Li scratched his head with mixed feeling. He had to admit that he was excited to see the buildings exploded one after another the more he increased his power, so he was also not free from the guilt.

Shaking his head, Duan Li then took out a superior quality spirit stone.

Wengg!!

”Would this be enough as compensation?” he candidly asked.

Meanwhile, the Liu Emperor and Liu Sheng Duhai's expression froze when they saw what was on Duan Li's hand.

...

”Brother Shen Murong, here.. you take the sword..” Wang Dong passed the legendary Ten Commandment sword to Shen Murong.

”Eh? I don't want to turn into a turtle.. here, you take it Wei Wang!” Shen Murong tossed the sword away as if it was a common sword.

Catching the sword, Wei Wang also almost threw it away for the same reason as Shen Murong, before coming to realization.

”Wait.. maybe this sword will change according to the holder?” he scribbled in the air with his spiritual Qi using his index finger.

”Probably.. it did change when I use my Supreme Turtle Crust technique.. though I must warn that it will take a lot from you..” Wang Dong said, his breathing still heavy.

Out of the three of them, Shen Murong was probably the one with the highest spiritual Qi capacity, but even he would only be able to do two transformations at most before being sucked dry like a salted fish.

As for Wei Wang, he was someone that cultivated mostly agile related skills that don't really require too much spiritual Qi, therefore he has the least spiritual Qi capacity than them. Even if he could transform once, his stamina will probably run out sooner than Wang Dong did before.

”It's fine. As long as it could boost my speed.. stronger enemies will not be a problem.” said the look from Wei Wang's face.

”Well, if you said so junior..”

Tap! Tap! Tap!

Right after Wang Dong said this, hurried steps could be heard behind them, swiftly getting closer!
