"Actually, my coming here has no particular purpose.

You all should carry on as usual and don’t need to report to me.

As for other matters, as long as the city is safe and sound, I won’t bother with much.”

Upon hearing Fire Cloud Heir’s words, Wang Yuehai narrowed his eyes slightly.

He thought Fire Cloud Heir was being unusually approachable.

When something seems unusual, there’s bound to be something fishy.

Normally, new officials set three fires, but Fire Cloud Heir seems to be backing off instead.

He exchanged a glance with others in the center of the field.

These people did not speak because he was their spokesperson, holding the greatest authority among them.

"Since that’s the case, I won’t report to you in the future either,” Wang Yuehai said calmly.

Fire Cloud Heir smiled, and suddenly asked, “Would you like to know who murdered Tyrant Blade?”

"Where?” Wang Yuehai squinted and asked.

"Right here in Stone Rock City,” Fire Cloud Heir said.

"I won’t stop you if you want revenge, but I don’t support it either.

This is something you should consider yourselves.”

Wang Yuehai pondered for a moment and already had a plan in mind.

Tyrant Blade is dead, and whether to seek revenge or not is another matter.

But if he took revenge, he could use it to win over all the soldiers and establish an image of loyalty and righteousness.

By then, as long as Fire Cloud Heir is sidelined, he could become the new City Lord.

Actually, he knows a bit about the deeds Tyrant Blade has done.

Capturing certain water beasts, supposedly as an offering to some big figure.

Tyrant Blade always sought a promising future.

Nowadays, it seems Stone Rock City is better. With the mountains so high and waters so far, no one could interfere.

The affairs of those big figures, he wouldn’t get involved, he just wanted to be the local emperor.

That is Wang Yuehai’s aspiration.

"Tyrant Blade is my brother.

He’s a brother to all the soldiers of Stone Rock City, revenge is necessary,” after Wang Yuehai finished speaking.

He directly strode out of the City Lord Mansion.

Finding Xu Zimei and the other isn’t really difficult.

He didn’t even need to ask Fire Cloud Heir, just investigate any strangers in the city recently.

This place in Stone Rock City is usually devoid of visitors.

Fire Cloud Heir watched Wang Yuehai’s departing silhouette, a slight curve on his lips.

No matter who wins or loses in the end.

It will benefit him anyway.

Of course, he knew deep inside that Wang Yuehai going this time was mostly a suicide mission.

With Wang Yuehai dead, he could smoothly take over control, and by then the entire Stone Rock City would be under his command.

……..

A silent night.

The next day, when Xu Zimei and Shangguan Xian stepped out of the room.

They already sensed the commotion outside.

Thousands of soldiers, layered inside and out, surrounded the entire inn.

Don’t be deceived by Wang Yuehai’s strong physique, he’s not simple minded at all.

Capable of killing Tyrant Blade.

Tyrant Blade was already at the level of a Great Emperor, so the other’s strength is surely formidable.

Hence, he did not come alone, but had long brought with him the tactic of using masses.

Of course, you’d be mistaken to think this is just an ordinary crowd.

These soldiers are the elite of Stone Rock City.

They are seasoned in combat and know battle formations well.

Wang Yuehai planned to leverage the strength of the battle formation, to oppress and defeat Xu Zimei.

He stood in front with imposing style.

Thousands of soldiers were all ready and waiting.

The deputy stood beside him, waiting for orders.

Wang Yuehai’s gaze was fixed on the inn.

Finally, when Xu Zimei and his companion emerged, he unleashed his aura.

"Such a grand display.

Is it to bid us farewell with such courtesy,” Xu Zimei laughed.

"Send you to Hell,” Wang Yuehai said calmly.

"You killed Tyrant Blade, and yet came to Stone Rock City.

Kid, should I call you confident, or foolish.”

"Seems like you think Tyrant Blade is too lonely, and want to go accompany him,” Xu Zimei retorted.

Wang Yuehai snorted heavily, commanding, “Form the battle formation.”

With his words, thousands of soldiers sprang into action.

They formed a battle array, and in moments, everything seemed aligned.

At this moment, they were no longer thousands.

They became one.

A joint force gathered at this moment.

The deputy stood at the front, directing the formation.

At that moment, a martial air gathered in the skies.

Cries of “ha ha ha” continuously echoed.

Thousands shouted in unison, the sound soared straight to the sky.

Xu Zimei looked upwards, the martial will in the firmament formed into a dragon and tiger.

They coiled in the void, glaring steadily at Xu Zimei and his companion. subtex./subtex

As the deputy’s hands lowered.

A roar sounded, the dragon and tiger charged at Xu Zimei.

A powerful aura burst forth.

The dragon and tiger clashed, pouncing toward Xu Zimei.

"Is this your confidence?” Xu Zimei shook his head, chuckling.

"Get down,” he unleashed his powerful force.

Behind him, the Heaven-Shaking Giant stood tall.

The figure towered, directly suppressing the dragon and tiger.

The mighty energy reverberated in the void.

Soon, “bang bang” sounded.

Directly suppressing the dragon and tiger onto the ground, immobilized.

The thousands seemed to get a little chaotic, the formation fluctuated.

The deputy hastily shouted, “Hold steady, everyone.”

In a hustle, the formation soon returned to stability.

"Attack,” the deputy ordered again.

The dragon and tiger began to struggle, continuously breaking free from the giant’s suppression.

"Indeed strong, Tyrant Blade died at your hands, not unjust.” Wang Yuehai said.

Only to see him ascend, standing at the center of the formation.

At this moment, after he settled.

The formation which was somewhat unstable, he stabilized it like a stabilizer.

The dragon and tiger roared, breaking free.

Circling around Xu Zimei.

Behind him, a giant dragon’s tail smashed the inn into rubble.

Under Wang Yuehai’s command, the dragon and tiger seemed altered, tactically surrounding Xu Zimei.

At this moment, the dragon’s aura vaguely surpassed the Great Emperor.

But still a distance from the Great Saint.

Wang Yuehai confidently said, “This formation has slain many Great Emperors, and you will be no exception today.”

"But have you considered that your opponent isn’t just a Great Emperor?” Xu Zimei suddenly asked.

"What?” Wang Yuehai gasped.

The next moment, a tremendous Holy Power erupted from Xu Zimei, flipping the dragon and tiger.

Xu Zimei seemed like an awakening demon god, his eyes filled with Demonic Qi, looking at Wang Yuehai.

At this moment, even surrounded by thousands of soldiers, Wang Yuehai felt fear.

As if death approached him.

"Attack,” he shouted furiously.

It seemed only combat could ease his inner fear.

His gaze was fiery.
