Chapter 508: Chapter 507: Change in the Array

Depose the City Lord!!

These words sent shockwaves through the crowd!

’Good heavens, the Four Great Noble Families are planning a rebellion!’

An icy glint flashed in Mo Bokong’s eyes as he said coldly, "You’ve finally made your move. It seems today’s Sword-Seizing Assembly should be renamed the City-Seizing Assembly!"

Ziming Liufeng, radiating a purple Divine Light, sneered. "You are a tyrant. Today, we, the Four Great Noble Families, will restore justice to Qingkong City."

"Haha! If you want to overthrow me, just say so. Why bother with all the pretense? I, Mo Bokong, will take on all comers!" Mo Bokong boomed with laughter. A pale blue Divine Light erupted from his body, and everywhere it touched, Frost instantly condensed. In a flash, the entire tournament ground was transformed into a world of ice and snow!

"Run! Get out of here!"

"Gods, it’s a battle between Era-Defining Kings! We need to get out of here, fast!"

The tens of thousands in the tournament ground fled, not daring to linger. At the same time, a huge force of soldiers in dark red Armor rushed out from all directions!

They were a dense, swarming mass, numbering at least a thousand!

Leading them were none other than the army’s Commander-in-Chief, Bai Jingzhong, and Personal Guards like Black Dragon and White Wolf. A scorching, murderous aura filled the air, powerful enough to shake the heavens and the earth!

"So you had soldiers lying in ambush all along," Ziming Liufeng said with a cold laugh, his tone betraying no fear. It was as if he had expected this.

"I’ve long suspected you would make your move soon. How could I not be prepared? Come, show me what you’ve got," said Mo Bokong.

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge number of Martial Artists surged into the tournament ground. Judging by their appearance, they were all members of the Four Great Noble Families, a group that even included the Four Young Masters of Qingkong.

A quick count revealed their numbers to be more than three times that of the City Guard Army.

Furthermore, the Patriarchs of the Four Great Noble Families were themselves Era-Defining Kings, and their various Elders were all at the King Level. For a moment, whether in terms of top-tier combatants or the sheer number of soldiers, the City Lord’s Mansion was at an absolute disadvantage. They had no chance of victory!

"Is this your trump card? How disappointing."

Mo Bokong, however, just gave a soft laugh. An indescribable ripple emanated from his body, creating a resonance with the very world around them, with the city itself!

With a deafening BOOM, eighteen pillars of light shot into the sky. They formed an indescribable suppressive force that, like a great mountain, weighed down heavily on every Martial Artist present.

"Surely you haven’t forgotten the suppressive power Qingkong City’s own Array has over you," Mo Bokong said, hovering in the air like a Deity.

"Kill!"

With that single, cold word, the soldiers behind Mo Bokong gripped their Golden Spears. Circulating their True Essence, they became like streaks of Flowing Light, charging toward the members of the Four Great Noble Families. Naturally, the men from the Noble Families wouldn’t surrender without a fight and met the charge head-on. In that instant, a bloody battle erupted, and the slaughter began!

Wielding the Array Power, Mo Bokong suppressed the other four. His attacks carried extra force, and after only a few exchanges, the four Patriarchs—Ziming Liufeng, Lann Sheng, and the others—found themselves at a great disadvantage.

"Fight!"

Ziming Liufeng roared, struggling to release his Divine Light. He condensed a Sword Qi dozens of yards long that slashed through the air, aimed straight for Mo Bokong’s head!

"Hmph."

But Mo Bokong simply took a step forward as a frigid aura erupted from his body. Before the Sword Qi could even get within ten feet of him, it was frozen solid and then shattered with a loud CRACK!

Right behind the Sword Qi, a blue light and a yellow light followed.

They were attacks launched by the Patriarchs of the Yuan Family and the Ruo Family.

The blue light instantly transformed into a colossal flood that blotted out half the sky. The yellow light, meanwhile, struck the ground, causing the earth to tremble before towering earthen spikes erupted from below, sweeping across the area.

Mo Bokong furrowed his brow. The power of these two attacks wasn’t overwhelming, but their area of effect was immense. Their target was not only him, but more importantly, the thousands of soldiers at his back. ’The Four Great Noble Families... it’s time for your reign to end!’

As he spoke, he stretched out a hand. Waves of pale blue Divine Light swept out from his palm, transforming into a white mist that rushed toward the flood. An endless, frigid aura then erupted, freezing the deluge inch by inch until it became a massive iceberg.

But he wasn’t finished. The terrifyingly cold aura passed through the iceberg and into the ground, encasing the earth in a layer of ice. It even froze the earthen spikes that were still trying to emerge from below. His mastery over Frost was simply breathtaking!

"Damn it! The suppression from the city’s Array is too strong," Ziming Liufeng grumbled, growing agitated as he felt the True Essence and Divine Light within him being stifled.

At that moment, an unbelievably fierce, thousand-foot-long arc of Blade Qi slashed across the sky.

"Not good!"

Lann Sheng’s heart leaped. Bursts of Divine Light erupted from him, forming several layers of defensive energy shields. But before the arc of Blade Qi, they were as fragile as paper.

POP! POP! POP!

In an instant, the Divine Light shattered. The Blade Qi struck Lann Sheng, and a brilliant light erupted from his body, faintly forming the image of an Exotic Beast—a creature that was part turtle, part snake!

It was a defensive... Spiritual Artifact!

Protected by the Spiritual Artifact, Lann Sheng was still blasted thousands of yards away by the Blade Qi, smashing through a tall building before being buried under a pile of rubble amidst roiling clouds of dust.

"Tsk, he’s not dead."

A burly, middle-aged man in Golden Armor appeared, holding a Ten-Foot-Long Saber and surging with golden Divine Light. This was none other than the Commander-in-Chief of the Qingkong City army, Bai Jingzhong!

"Bai Jingzhong!"

Thousands of yards away, the pile of rubble exploded outward. Lann Sheng slowly rose to his feet, a look of bitter resentment in his eyes. He moved in a flash, his Divine Light condensing into a Palm Seal that he blasted forward.

"Mysterious Technique: Cloud-Pushing Force!"

The Palm Qi billowed like waves of clouds, layer upon layer, ceaseless and unending!

"Watch this commander cleave it in two!"

Bai Jingzhong roared. Golden light suffused his great saber as he slashed down. The immense Blade Qi was so powerful it carved a massive ravine into the earth.

Palm Qi met Blade Qi. A colossal Energy Aftermath surged out in all directions. The ground cracked and splintered, and one skyscraper after another collapsed with a deafening ROAR!

"Haha, your defeat is certain today!"

Bai Jingzhong bellowed as endless True Essence Qi Force coursed around him. His golden Divine Light grew even more dazzling, illuminating everything. Holding his great saber, he radiated an inviolable might!

"Is that so? I wouldn’t be so sure."

Ziming Liufeng gave a soft chuckle. The moment he finished speaking, six of the eighteen distant pillars of light that maintained the Array’s operation slowly dissipated!

As the Grand Array weakened, the four Patriarchs of the Noble Families instantly broke through the restraints on their bodies. Their Divine Light flared, their power increasing severalfold. The many Noble Family members fighting the soldiers grew ecstatic, each one fighting with even greater ferocity!

"We must destroy the City Lord’s Mansion today!"

"Haha, the era of Mo Bokong is over!"

"Men, charge with me!"

"With our Patriarchs here, even Mo Bokong and Bai Jingzhong are nothing to fear! Today, we will make rivers of blood flow through the City Lord’s Mansion!"

Instantly, the morale of the Noble Family Alliance Army surged.
