Chapter 511: Chapter 510: Your Opponent Is Me

An Era-Defining King, dead!!

Qin Ya’s face was slightly pale as he stood holding his spear. He didn’t seem to be in the best condition, but the intimidating power radiating from him was such that no one dared to approach.

After all, this young man had just slain an Era-Defining King right before their very eyes—something that hadn’t happened in Qingkong Giant City for nearly a hundred years.

It was as if a thousand thunderbolts were crashing in their minds, leaving them completely stunned. Then, a roar of cheers suddenly erupted, shaking the entire city!

"Deputy City Lord! Deputy City Lord...!"

"Deputy City Lord! Deputy City Lord...!"

Amidst the roaring cheers, Qin Ya stood with his spear like an undefeated War God. His eyes then swept over the dozen or so Kings from the Noble Families who were closest to him.

The Martial Artists who met his gaze all trembled. A chill shot up from the soles of their feet, raced up their spines, and left them freezing.

His gaze alone forced them to retreat!

"Haha, this is wonderful!"

Mo Bokong laughed heartily, excitement written all over his face. He looked at Ziming Liufeng and the others, declaring, "The Four Great Noble Families are now down to three! Ziming Liufeng, do you still think you have any chance of victory? Surrender now!"

Ziming Liufeng’s expression was utterly grim. He had never expected someone like Qin Ya to appear out of nowhere. Still, he showed no hint of panic. A purple Divine Light erupted from his body, transforming into a flash of Sword Light that slashed toward Mo Bokong.

"A futile struggle!" Mo Boklong snorted. He thrust out a hand, unleashing a torrential blizzard that completely ground the Sword Light to nothing.

"Haha, Mo Bokong, I have arrived!!"

Just then, a booming laugh echoed out. A large man in a brocade robe came flying in from outside the city at an incredible speed. Illusory koi fish swam around him, and everyone in his path—whether a disciple of the Noble Families or a city Guard—was sent flying!

"The Jinlin City Lord!"

Upon seeing the newcomer, Mo Bokong’s face darkened. An incredibly dreadful, cold aura erupted uncontrollably from him, plunging the surroundings into the depths of winter.

Ziming Liufeng and his followers, however, looked overjoyed. "Haha, Mo Bokong, your end has come!" they laughed.

At these words, Mo Bokong immediately understood that this had all been arranged by Ziming Liufeng’s faction. His face grew impossibly dark. "To usurp my position as City Lord," he said coldly, "you’d even stoop to colluding with an outsider."

"I suppose you were the ones who leaked my mission to retrieve the White Python Bead to the Jinlin City Lord. A fine scheme, trying to kill me with a borrowed knife."

Ziming Liufeng smiled faintly. "A failure, unfortunately."

The Jinlin City Lord laughed. "Mo Bokong, you’re quite the failure of a City Lord, aren’t you? To have the Four Great Noble Families unite in rebellion against you, even using the feud between us to do it. Still, this suits my plans perfectly!"

With that, he sensed the surrounding Primordial Qi and smiled faintly. "The Four Great Noble Families weren’t lying. The city’s Array has been broken, and its suppressive power has been reduced by ninety percent. More than enough to deal with you."

"Enough talk. Let’s fight."

Knowing a fierce battle was inevitable, Mo Bokong wasted no more words. The Cold Frost Qi around him erupted, and he threw a devastating palm strike.

Seeing this, the Jinlin City Lord laughed boisterously. A Golden-Backed Saber appeared in his hand, and with a single slash, he sent dozens of illusory koi leaping forward. The instant they made contact with the Palm Qi, they exploded with a razor-sharp energy, erupting into a whirlwind of power!

"Ha! Mo Bokong, it seems you’ve completely dispelled the Yang Evil Fire in your body. Excellent! Now I can have a truly satisfying battle with you!" the Jinlin City Lord roared with laughter. Countless koi swam around him. A closer look revealed them to be illusions formed from unbelievably sharp Blade Qi, so vivid they seemed real.

"City Lord, I’ll help you!" Bai Jingzhong raised his Ten-Foot-Long Saber and was about to charge forward, but he was intercepted by Ziming Liufeng, Yuan Lin, and the others.

"Grand Marshal Bai, your opponents are us," they said.

"No. Your opponent is me."

Just then, a cool voice spoke up. A young man in white, spear in hand, slowly walked forward, his aura utterly unmatched!!

It was none other than Qin Ya, the man who had just slain Lann Sheng.

The moment he appeared, the expressions on Ziming Liufeng and the others turned grave. They didn’t dare to be the least bit careless; after all, Qin Ya’s accomplishments were undeniable.

"Oh? Isn’t that the young man who stood in my way?"

Having just exchanged a blast of Divine Light with Mo Bokong, the Jinlin City Lord happened to witness the moment Qin Ya confronted the Masters of the Three Great Noble Families, and a look of astonishment filled his eyes.

’It’s only been a short while, yet his Cultivation has already reached the Half-Step King realm,’ he thought. Then, a flicker of confusion crossed his mind. ’But the Masters of these Three Great Noble Families are all Era-Defining Kings. Why are they so wary of him?’

He had arrived too late to see Qin Ya slay Lann Sheng. If he had, he too would have treated Qin Ya as an equal and not dared to let his guard down.

"You have the audacity to be distracted during our battle."

With a cold shout, Mo Bokong condensed a ray of Divine Light in his hand and blasted it forward. It transformed into a blizzard of chilling winds and snow, and everything in its path froze solid!

The Jinlin City Lord immediately snapped his focus back. Thousands of illusory koi swirled and condensed into a single, massive fish hundreds of feet long, which then charged fearlessly into the raging blizzard.

A short distance away, the two other sides faced off, the atmosphere thick with tension.

Ziming Liufeng spoke in a cold tone, "Qin Ya, I admit you’re powerful. Even I wouldn’t be confident in defeating you. But there are three Era-Defining Kings here. Do you really think you can stop all of us by yourself?"

"Let the outcome speak for itself."

Qin Ya gave a cool smile, then said to Bai Jingzhong, "Grand Marshal Bai, leave these three to me. You and White Wolf, go help City Lord Mo."

Bai Jingzhong hesitated. "Deputy City Lord, you...?"

Before he could finish, Qin Ya cut him off. "Grand Marshal Bai, rest assured. If I say I can do it, then I have a way to handle them!"

"Then I’ll leave them to you, Deputy City Lord." Bai Jingzhong gritted his teeth, then shot off toward the battle between Mo Bokong and the Jinlin City Lord.

"Don’t think you can leave!"

Patriarch Ruo shouted and charged, sending streams of water flying like chains toward Bai Jingzhong. But halfway there, they shattered!

Qin Ya’s figure appeared, blocking the three patriarchs. "I told you," he said coolly. "Your opponent is me. Therefore, this path is closed."

The three exchanged glances, the intense killing intent in their eyes plain to see.

"In that case, we’ll just have to kill you first!"

"Hmph. You kill one Lann Sheng and you already think you’re invincible. It seems I’ll have to teach you that even among Era-Defining Kings, there are tiers of power."

"Enough talk! Kill him!!"

Two rays of cold light shot from Ziming Liufeng’s eyes. His Divine Light flared, gathering the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi. Instantly, a massive sword hundreds of feet long took shape, radiating a razor-sharp Sword Intent.

"Slash!"
