CHAPTER 696: CHAPTER 553_2

"Everyone keep attacking, this array formation won’t hold out much longer!"

After pondering for a moment, Elder Xueyu loudly added, "Once this formation is broken, slay all men in the Imperial Palace, and all women will be granted to you for your enjoyment!"

Having said that, Elder Xueyu took the lead in attacking. With a grasp of his hand, a blood-colored giant claw tore through the sky and slammed into the array formation shield fiercely.

Boom boom!

The array formation shield violently oscillated under the attack, but it remained incredibly solid.

Hundreds of True Spirit Realm experts, upon hearing Elder Xueyu’s words, showed little joy on their faces. On the contrary, many people’s eyes even revealed a look of disgust.

These people were all from the Heavenly Sword Sect and Tianyuan Sect; although they had submitted to the Blood Luo Hall, they weren’t genuinely loyal.

The people of Blood Luo Hall were unconscionable beasts, but they had a conscience, and they did not want to become executioners for Blood Luo Hall.

However, in this situation where they had no other choice, not wanting to die, they could only follow orders and act.

Immediately, hundreds of people made their move together, fiercely attacking the Guardian Array of the Imperial Palace.

Rumbling!

With the combined effort of hundreds, the power was earth-shattering, with continuous explosions and blast after blast, the huge Guardian Array showed signs of crumbling.

Although no new cracks appeared on the Guardian Array, with the current situation, it couldn’t last much longer!

Tianhong Empire.

A purple giant snake raced across the sky, its massive tail flicking and covering dozens of miles in an instant.

On the back of the giant snake, Lin Feng wore a cold expression, with an unstoppable surge of killing intent in his heart.

On his journey here, within the territory of the Tianhong Empire, Lin Feng had come across several cities with an air of desolation, with a deathly aura within them and utterly devoid of life.

Those cities had become ghost towns, their inhabitants long since slaughtered.

Lin Feng didn’t need to think to know that this was the doing of Blood Luo Hall, and this realization made the killing intent in his heart near boiling point.

Lin Feng might not be considered a good person, but he couldn’t stand such reprehensible behavior.

"Without the eradication of Blood Luo Hall, there is no justice!" Lin Feng’s voice was cold and chilling to the bone.

"How is Hu Ben Country doing now?"

As he drew closer to Hu Ben Country, Lin Feng grew more tense. After half a year away, he was finally returning!

Blood Luo Hall, your end is nigh!

Swoosh!

Lin Feng put Xiao Ba back into the Spiritual Beast Bag, and then with a flash of lightning speed, immediately took out his Spirit Sword.

Stepping on the Spirit Sword, and with Lin Feng’s urging, his speed immediately increased more than tenfold. He left behind an afterimage, and his figure had already disappeared.

...

Hu Ben Country, Imperial Palace.

Boom boom boom!!

The violent explosions resonated throughout the entire Imperial City, and the people in the Imperial City swarmed like locusts, watching this earth-shaking scene from dozens of miles away surrounding the Imperial Palace.

"The Hu Ben Royal Family is done for this time!"

"I didn’t expect the people of Fengling Island to be hiding inside the Imperial Palace!"

"The Royal Family actually has such strong strength! They hid it well enough!"

"Alas! Fengling Island has been made to suffer by Lin Feng. Now Lin Feng is off somewhere enjoying himself, leaving the people of Fengling Island here to face their doom."

Low discussions emanated from the crowd.

In front of Imperial Palace, Elder Xueyu led hundreds of experts, continuously attacking the Guardian Array of the palace. The Guardian Array trembled violently, and once again, cracks started to appear.

"Everyone, don’t stop, keep attacking, the formation is about to give out!" Elder Xueyu yelled loudly.

No one dared to be negligent, continuing to endlessly attack the array. The giant Guardian Array kept shaking, with more and more cracks appearing.

Inside Imperial Palace, at the Array Base Hall.

"Everyone, push yourselves harder, we must not let the formation break, otherwise, we all die!"

The originally dignified Emperor Huben couldn’t help but become pale.

Upon hearing this, everyone clenched their teeth and desperately poured their power into the base of the Guardian Array.

However, many people had already exhausted their True Yuan and were continuously swallowing Elixirs.

Rumbling!

The earth-shaking noise, accompanied by cracking sounds, made the cracks in the Guardian Array multiply, reaching the brink of complete shattering in a moment.

"It’s over!"

"It’s all over!"

Whether it was the people of the Lin Family, the Heavenly Vault Sect, or the Royal Family of Hu Ben Country, despair was evident in their eyes.

Boom!

Finally, after a moment, the Guardian Array could no longer withstand the pressure and exploded with a boom.

With the Guardian Array shattered, Elder Xueyu was overjoyed, and with a wave of his arm, he shouted, "Kill them!"

"Kill!"

The shouts of killing rose from all sides, and as everyone moved, they were about to charge into the Imperial Palace.

Just at this moment, an unexpected change occurred. A massive burst of golden light came surging from not far away at peak speed.

Spurt!

The golden light streaked through the crowd, bringing with it a bloodbath.

Ah Ah Ah!!!

A sudden outcry rose as more than a dozen experts in the True Spirit Realm were instantly massacred, cut into pieces.

"Who is this?" Everyone was shocked and shouted angrily.

Then, they saw the golden light touch the ground, transforming into a white-robed youth with an icy countenance.

This white-robed youth was covered in layers of scale armor, emitting dazzling golden light.

The youth held an extremely exaggerated golden battle saber in his right hand, longer than three feet and ten times the size of a normal battle saber, extremely terrifying to behold.

In his left hand, he held a golden elliptical shield, standing majestic like a Golden Armored War God.

"It’s the Demon Slayer!"

"My God! It’s the Demon Slayer!"

"The Demon Slayer is actually helping the Royal Family?"

Exclamations rang out, shocking both the hundreds of experts from the Heavenly Sword Sect and Tianyuan Sect as well as the onlookers from afar at the sight of this golden-armored youth.

Over the past six months, in the Hongyu Domain, the most famous person was no longer Lin Feng, but this youth who called himself the Demon Slayer.

No one knew where he came from, but wherever he went, he slaughtered people from the Blood Luo Hall, reputedly killing over a thousand in just half a year.

For this, Blood Luo Hall had sent assassins to kill him three times, but the Demon Slayer’s strength increased so rapidly that each time he counter-killed the attackers they sent.

His most striking features were his massive saber and shield, known by almost everyone.

Moreover, what surprised people the most about the Demon Slayer was that he seemingly had no cultivation, relying purely on extreme physical strength.

No one expected that this fearsome Demon Slayer would come to Hu Ben Country and even help the Royal Family.

But even though the Demon Slayer was strong, could he contend with an Earth Martial Master of the Third Layer?

Everyone was filled with doubt and amazement!

"Demon Slayer!"

Upon seeing the golden-gleaming youth, Elder Xueyu’s eyes burst with a sharp gleam, and intense murderous intent seemed almost tangible.

He wasn’t surprised by the Demon Slayer’s arrival, because inside the Blood Luo Hall, there was early speculation that this person might be related to Lin Feng, as Lin Feng also seemed to have cultivated a technique that produced golden light and scale armor.

The same technique led Blood Luo Hall to conclude that this person had to be related to Lin Feng.

"Since you’ve come, then don’t even think about leaving!"

Elder Xueyu scoffed coldly, then immediately turned his head and ordered the remaining people, "Surround the Imperial Palace. Don’t let a single person escape!"

"Yes!"

The crowd complied and immediately dispersed, encapsulating the entire Imperial Palace in an instant.

Seeing that the crowd had surrounded the Imperial Palace, Elder Xueyu once again turned to the Demon Slayer and said with a grim smile, "Today, you will undoubtedly die!"

Elder Xueyu was utterly confident, because according to the latest news, one month ago, this Demon Slayer only had the combat power of the peak of the True Spirit Realm.

Even if the other’s power increased enormously in a month, he could not possibly be his opponent.

And if the Demon Slayer was no match for him, there was almost no chance of escape, as the other, despite his strength, had no cultivation and couldn’t fly.

The Demon Slayer, adorned in glittering golden light, listened to Elder Xueyu’s words and glanced expressionlessly at the exaggerated giant saber in his hand, saying coldly, "It’s been a long time since I killed the animals of Blood Luo Hall. My saber is already thirsting for blood!"

"You’re simply courting death!"

Hearing the other call the people of Blood Luo Hall animals, Elder Xueyu was instantly enraged and lashed out.

"Die!"

With his hand outstretched, he clawed out, and a blood-red Vigorous Origin Giant Claw tore through the void, bearing down upon the Demon Slayer’s head.
