Capítulo 1759: Chapter 7: Annihilating the City Lord

The so-called City Lord merely looks like an ordinary middle-aged man in his forties or fifties.

Yet there’s an aura of Starry sky level fluctuation surrounding him, perhaps from being in a high position for so long, displaying a natural dignified presence.

“Hmm, are you accomplices in the murder of the Feyu Clan’s Ambassador’s son? Hmph, how bold.”

The City Lord glanced indifferently at the two who were bowing, then looked over at Jia Yan.

At this moment, Jia Yan had suppressed his power fluctuations to appear only at about a Heavenly level strength. He wanted to see how this reputed Human Race City Lord would deal with him.

Depending on the handling method, Jia Yan would make different moves.

After all, this so-called Human Race, to him, was merely similar in appearance, without any real kinship relations. He wouldn’t mind creating chaos here.

“Lord Mayor, this person was the one who mistakenly eliminated the Lord Feiyu Ambassador’s child earlier, but it surely wasn’t intentional.”

“That’s right, Lord Mayor, it surely wasn’t intentional on his part.”

The two Earth-Class Creatures from the Human Race were rather loyal, surprisingly defending Jia Yan before the City Lord.

Jia Yan felt a slight favor towards them.

But towards the City Lord ahead, he wasn’t so favorable.

“Hmph, words are useless now. Killing the Feyu Clan’s Ambassador’s son was exceedingly bold. Now the Lord Feiyu Ambassador is on his way; for now, arrest these three, and we’ll await the Ambassador’s arrival before dealing with them.”

The City Lord’s expression remained unpleasant.

“Lord Mayor, this gentleman didn’t act with subjective intent. Please consider leniency, Lord Mayor.” The two Earth-Class Human Race members, upon hearing that the City Lord had completely sided with those from the Feyu Clan, suddenly changed their complexion.

“You two, enough. Since your City Lord thinks I am at fault, then it’s my fault. But if you want to arrest me, are you sure?”

Jia Yan casually laughed, stopping the pleas from the two Earth-Class beings, looking leisurely at the City Lord.

“You’re right; murder demands justice. Perhaps the Feyu Clan’s Ambassador’s son offended you verbally, but you are not right to have killed him. Now, do you still intend to resist?”

The City Lord’s eyes flashed with a murderous intent, seemingly incredibly angry that Jia Yan dared to retort.

“Disrespect demands death; isn’t the rule in this Universe that the strong are revered?”

Jia Yan shook his head, saw two Heavenly level beings attempting to capture him, and with a slight move of his Brainwave Power, the two were stunned and knocked away.

Bang! Bang!

The sound echoed twice as two mighty strong Heavenly level beings could not withstand even a simple application of Brainwave Power and were knocked unconscious.

“You dare resist capture again, unwilling to submit to authority. Must the City Lord deal with you personally?”

The City Lord saw Jia Yan using Brainwave Power to send flying two Heavenly levels and a solemn expression passed through his eyes, though he hid it deeply.

As a City Lord, having wrested his position through countless struggles, he wouldn’t waver due to some peculiar situation.

“Lord Mayor, if you believe you can capture me, then why not give it a try?”

Jia Yan continued to mock with a scoff, showing little regard for this City Lord.

“How bold!”

If the City Lord dared not act at this point, he would be quite cowardly. Yet repeated probing of Jia Yan’s fluctuations revealed no hint of Silver knight level; no matter the investigation, he only appeared Bronze knight level.

As for Saint Level? The City Lord had never considered it; every Saint Level within the Human Race was a noteworthy figure, almost all known to him.

Thus, he believed he faced a genuine Bronze level, equating to the Heavenly level outside, nothing to fear for him.

“It seems you want to die now; I’ll fulfill that wish!”

This Star Space Level City Lord was extremely confident in his methods, having once won his position among groups of Star Space Levels, how could he lose against a mere non-Star Space Level Human Race now.

He made his move!

Jia Yan didn’t make a grand gesture but first observed the opponent’s techniques.

After arriving on this planet, Jia Yan had only overwhelmed a group of Tai’a God’s subordinates, never truly witnessed the fighting style of this Cultivation System.

So this time, he intentionally let the City Lord attack, curious about the Cultivation System’s combat method.

“Alas, purely physical combat; it seems nothing uniquely distinct.”

As the City Lord leapt forth for a strike, Jia Yan sighed heavily in his mind.

Initially thinking the Divine Spirit System on this planet might have a different Path regarding Brainwave Power, now he wanted to see if ordinary Star Space Levels had a similar divergence, but one blow from the City Lord revealed his focus was also physical, not even as strong as an extraterrestrial Star Space Level’s physique.

Given this, Jia Yan proceeded without concern.

“A City Lord…oh well, perhaps annihilation is the end.”

Jia Yan shook his head lightly and struck out.

Puff!

In the eyes of the City Lord, a trace of shock suddenly emerged.

His attack froze in mid-air.

Then, he widened his eyes, “You, you, you… absolutely not, Bronze…” He couldn’t finish his sentence before he breathed his last.

Jia Yan had casually punched before the Lord Mayor’s attack could get close. The punch didn’t send the City Lord flying, nor did it blow him apart, but instead left his body intact.

Jia Yan quite liked the City Lord Mansion and didn’t want to dirty it here.

“Ah… City, Lord Mayor!”

The group of Sky-level Strong Ones aiding from the side suddenly changed expressions when they saw Jia Yan slowly placing the deceased City Lord on the ground. They wanted to act but didn’t dare.

After all, the invincible City Lord in their eyes was struck dead in one blow by this Outsider.

Well, this invincibility was only within the ‘Human Race’. In other species, a City Lord like theirs was merely a normal Silver-Level creature.

“This…”

Several Heavenly creatures glanced at each other. If the City Lord were still alive, they would still have the courage to bluff, but now seeing the City Lord dead before them, they panicked instantly.

“Greetings, Lord.”

“Lord, this City Lord has bullied our Xianxian City Human Race for a long time. You vanquishing him is indeed a great merit for the Human Race.”

“Indeed, well done by the Lord.”

One by one, the Heavenly creatures suddenly changed their demeanor, and two quickly even knelt down.

“We request you, Lord, to become our Xianxian City’s new City Lord.”

“Yes, please become our Xianxian City’s new City Lord. The Xianxian City Human Race will surely ascend to glory because of you, Lord.”

Even Jia Yan was taken aback by the rapid change in attitude from the Sky-level ones.

Meanwhile, the two Earth-Class creatures who had come along with Jia Yan felt like their minds were thunderstruck, as if witnessing a dream.

What is happening?

They had casually followed a Human Race strong one who had killed the son of the Feyu Ambassador to this City Lord Mansion, intending to ensure this evident Human expert avoided death. But unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, this Human strong one even eliminated their Xianxian City’s City Lord!?

This was too surreal.

But before they could think too much, the Human Race Neizi surrounded and praised by the Mansion’s Heavenly creatures, asking him to become the new City Lord, surprisingly shook his head.

“I’m not going to be the City Lord. You two, come here.” He pointed at the two Earth-Class Strong Ones.

“Lord, do you have any matter?” The two Earth-Class Strong Ones hurried forward, their hearts pounding, knowing they faced someone who could effortlessly kill their former City Lord.

This might be a big deal.

The previous Xianxian City Lord, though not particularly good, was undoubtedly powerful. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have ruled in Xianxian City for so many years without being overthrown by other strong ones.

The fact that this Sky-level Lord could easily eliminate the former City Lord indicated that his strength was exceptional even in the surrounding area of Xianxian City, as the strongest in nearby cities or small species were only about equal to the City Lord or slightly stronger.

Being called personally by the Lord, they quickly showed respect, no longer daring to maintain their prior attitude.

“You two, be City Lords as a token of gratitude for speaking on my behalf earlier. Anyone not satisfied can come to me.”

Jia Yan said indifferently.

“What? Us, City Lords? This…” The two Earth-Class creatures glanced at each other, hardly believing their ears.

“Indeed, don’t refuse, or it’s looking down on my words. Understand my meaning.” Jia Yan scratched his ear, speaking unrefusably.

“Uh… yes, we understand.” They trembled at Jia Yan’s strength, hurriedly nodding respectfully.

“Well, two Earth-Class creatures as City Lords? This…” The former City Lord Mansion’s Heavenly creatures changed expressions, strangely glancing at the two Earth-Class creatures.

Within this city, Sky Level counts as strong ones, but Earth Level is as common as dirt, almost everywhere, otherwise Jia Yan could not have seen these two Earth-Class creatures presiding over affairs as soon as he killed the son of the Feyu Ambassador.

Before the two Earth-Class creatures could recover from the dreamlike shift to City Lord status, a guard stumbled in from the outside.

“Lord Mayor, the Feyu Ambassador has arrived, uh, City Lord? Lord Mayor…”

As the guard soldier entered the City Lord Mansion, he saw the City Lord he was about to report to lying breathless on the ground, and the black-haired strong one who was supposed to be captured for killing the Feyu Ambassador’s son, standing calmly beside him.

This scene made the guard who had hurried to report freeze in shock instantly.
