Chapter 524 - The Gathering of Immortal State Warriors (1/2)
Chapter 524 The Gathering of Immortal State Warriors
Xie Yan had already reached the early-stage of the Divine Sea, so his voice pierced through the sky and could be heard from miles away.
The dust had already fallen. Therefore most people were going about their lives inside their homes. The enormous size of The Dragon Plaza also m.u.f.fled the voice, otherwise, the entire city not far from The Dragon Plaza would have heard the sound of Xie Yan’s voice.
“Who is that? Who dares to address the Overseer by his name?”
“You are courting death! How dare you challenge the Dragon Hall!”
“Where are the guards? Where are the Hacking Blades? Seize that man this instance!”
Xie Yan’s voice startled everyone inside The Dragon Plaza.
“Clank!”
Someone cracked open the window and saw a man in a black outfit floating in the air. He stood on top of the world against a backdrop of the gleaming sea where the moon was slowly rising from. The sight gave people the illusion that Xie Yan was an immortal who resided on the moon.
“He is…”
The man who opened the window was shocked by what he saw.
His peers who were standing beside him exclaimed in disbelief.
“Dragon Lord?”
The crowd inside the building started to seize with excitement as soon as they heard the name.
“Dragon Lord is back? Really?”
“Look for yourself! I will be d.a.m.ned if that isn’t Dragon Lord!”
“Yes, indeed he is! Brothers and sisters, our true master, has finally returned!”
Many people exclaimed in elation.
Many more people kneeled on the ground and kowtowed to Xie Yan as tears streaked across their cheeks.
There were over a hundred guards inside The Dragon Plaza, and every one of them looked up into the sky at the man in the black outfit with strong emotions. That man had dominated Singapore for hundreds of years, so his authority could not be so easily replaced by Wu Guanchao, who had only been in power for a few months.
“Dra… Dragon Lord”
Guo Shoukang was stupefied by the revelation. He stammered while gaping at the incredible turn of events.
“Dad, you were wrong.”
Guo Nuannuan gave her dad a long glance then shook her head disappointedly. She had nothing else to say to a father who would willingly trade his daughter as a commodity in exchange for safety and wealth.
“Even if he is indeed Dragon Lord, it doesn’t mean Overseer Wu is defeated. Overseer Wu has many supporters.”
Guo Shoukang’s face darkened and refuted.
Guo Nuannuan shook her head and remained silent. Then she cast a sidelong glance at the young man beside her and thought to herself: “No one would be able to defeat him, not even Immortal State Warriors.”
Suddenly, a few grandmasters broke through the window from inside the building and knelt before the Dragon Lord.
“Welcome back, Dragon Lord.”
Among them were half a dozen Grandmasters, a dozen or so Internal Force users. They formed the backbone of the organization
Chen Fan nodded slightly after he saw this group of men.
It was evident that Wu Guanchao was having a hard time reining in these powerful warriors. Otherwise, he would not have to rely on a foreigner such as Leng Jianfeng to run the organization.
“Wu Guanchao, what are you waiting for, come out now!”
Xie Yan linked his hands behind his back and glared at the building.
Xie Yan’s appearance alone was enough to re-install loyalty into the hearts of defectors. He had already killed Wu Guanchao’s most trusted a.s.sistant, and by then, he was fighting by himself.
“Hehe, I had never thought that you would survive the Valley of No Return.”
A flash of light appeared on top of The Dragon Plaza, lighting up the dark gloomy night sky. A man with a sullen face appeared in the sky. His body was surrounded by cracking lightning that spat out sparks from time to time. He must be an expert in the Thunder Art.
This middle-aged man was Wu Guanchao, the incredibly talented heir of the Wu family.
“Wu Guanchao, what is the meaning of this? I have treated your family well, haven’t I? Why did you use such violence against the Xie Family?”
Xie Yan asked.
“Humph! Xie Yan! You have robbed the Wu family of its wealth and power, and gravely injured me. How could I forget such a crime! This is only the beginning of your suffering.”
Wu Guanchao said derisively.
“Don’t waste your breath then, come meet your death!”
Xie Yan shook his head slightly and started the sword art.
The Ebony sword strapped on his back suddenly shot out a ray of dark light toward Wu Guanchao.
Xie Yan was still new to the Sword Cultivation, and neither did he have time to finish creating his flying sword using his blood such as Lin Langya did. Therefore, he had resorted to using the wood blade as the vessel for his power. Although the blade was made out of wood, it was created by Chen Fan himself and was as deadly as the Feathered Wing.
“Clank!”
Lightning flashed in the air; it was dark and incandescent at the same time.
Wu Guanchao’s pulled a taut face and punched at his opponent. His fist sent a tremor through the air and stirred up countless white flashes of lightning around his knuckles. It rammed into the flying sword with incredible speed.
“Bang!”
The impact shook Xie Yan’s body a little, but Wu Guanchao was winded by the attack and had to back away a few dozen meters.
Everyone could already tell who the winner was going to be after only one round of attacks.
“Impossible! Why are you so much stronger in just one and a half years?” Wu Guanchao was taken aback by his defeat.
He was convinced that Xie Yan had been fighting against Chen Fan and without spending any time on his cultivation. Therefore, Xie Yan’s increase in power had caught him by surprise.
