While Alex and others were dealing with the illusion created by Elder Valerio, somewhere far away from the Heavenly Ghost Peak...
The evening was slightly cold. It was quiet in Blue Sky City's Prefecture.
In a room deep within the City Lord's Mansion, a young man was lying on a bed with a sickly look on his face. An old man next to him touched his meridians for a while before standing up and bowing deeply to Noman Estica who was standing behind him.
"I'm sorry, City Lord. His injuries are still the same. Apart from his own injuries, there is also the erosion of the Soul Power Pill. Even with the help of the Spirit Herb, it will still take half a year to recover."
The old man who spoke was a famous alchemist in Blue Sky City. When Njal Estica was heavily injured in the eyes of the public, the old man naturally understood the reason behind it.
Although he knew that this was Njal's fault, the old man didn't dare to show it. After all, he still had to rely on Noman in Blue Star City.
Upon hearing this, Noman furrowed his brows and said coldly with a cold glint in his eyes.
He swung his arm and unleashed his energy, causing the old man to retreat in fear.
Even the guard, who was standing outside, had a change of expression on his face. The old man cursed Noman in his heart, then he followed guard and retreated.
In the entire room, only Noman and the severely injured Njal were left.
A sound of clenched teeth was heard. Noman clenched his big hand tightly, and his heart was filled with anger. He originally wanted to let Njal join the first-rate force, but his plan was ruined by Eric White, Alex's distant cousin.
Both cousins have yet to meet though. Eric came out of the family because he was looking for Alex everywhere.
All of Noman's goals had been foiled. Noman hated Eric to the core.
Especially Njal, who had been nurtured for many years, was now seriously injured.
When he thought of this, Noman's heart was filled with endless resentment as he spoke coldly.
"Eric White, just you wait. I, Noman Estica, am the strongest expert in Blue Sky City. I will definitely kill you. And I will also kill all those who are related to you."
His voice was filled with coldness as it spread throughout the room.
However, at the next moment, an untimely voice was heard at the same time.
"Oh, you really want to do that?"
"To be honest, I really expected you to do that. That's why I came here!"
At the same time, a shadow slowly appeared outside the window. He was dressed in a black robe and was extremely mysterious. Under the night light, no clues could be seen. It was surprisingly Eric.
In an instant, Noman's pupils shrunk. The spirit energy between his body suddenly spread. The terrifying ripples of the spirit energy contained a terrifying temperature in his palm. The surrounding temperature kept rising. Clearly, Noman had reached the peak of the Martial King Stage!
Under the black robe, Eric lightly laughed and said in a flat tone.
"Today, I will take your life!"
There was a faint mocking tone in his tone.
Instantly, Noman's face was filled with anger, and he roared in a low voice.
His foot stomped on the ground. At the same time, Noman stretched out his palm and grabbed towards Eric.
A terrifying force instantly transformed into a long dragon. At the same time, it also contained a terrifying temperature. Surprisingly, Noman had cultivated a type of fire attribute cultivation technique.
In an instant, Noman's fist arrived in front of Eric.
Noman Estica's strength had far exceeded Eric's strength. But Eric was still very calm even in this situation. Clearly, he has a hole card in his hand.
However, in the next moment, Eric stood where he was and fluctuated. Noman's fist stopped one meter away from Eric. No matter how Noman struggled, it was useless.
Looking at this strange scene, Noman's expression changed. Eric actually blocked his attack without moving.
A trace of fear rose in his heart. Noman said loudly, "Who are you? Why did you attack me? I am the City Lord of Blue Sky City. There are still many friends here. You have to think about it carefully!"
"You don't have to waste your time. I have already taken control of this spatial zone!" Eric lightly said and then softly said, "You have already made your move. I haven't done it yet. Are you ready?"
His voice contained a kind of terrifying intent that made people tremble. Noman immediately roared. The spirit energy on his body soared. He was like a wild beast that had gone crazy.
"Brilliant Sun Slash!"
The force of this slash turned into a surging wave in the void. It was extremely powerful!
However, in the midst of the fiery light that filled the sky, Eric calmly stretched out a finger. The tip of his finger moved and a bright light flashed. It immediately emitted a light blue light.
The entire room became calm in the next moment. The flames disappeared and Noman disappeared in an instant. He turned into ashes and scattered in the wind.
A Martial King Stage expert was killed with a flick of his finger!
After a while, Eric's soft laughter sounded. Then he glanced at the unconscious Njal Estica. Eric shook his head and said in a serious voice, "Anyway, he is useless. He will not be able to achieve any great things in the future."
And it was at this moment, a voice came from the room.
"The City Lord is dead!"
As the voice faded, it resounded through the room. Eric instantly understood what happened just now. He was careless. It turned out that someone entered the room when the city lord was about to burn to ashes.
He sighed. He knew he have to kill his way out of the City Lord's Mansion alone.
Eric could already feel the footsteps around him. At the same time, there were countless air-piercing sounds. Clearly, they were heading in this direction.
In an instant, he stomped his foot on the ground and leaped up, casting out his movement skill in an instant. Like a shooting star, he dashed out of the window.
"He's over there! Stop right there!"
The guard, who had rushed over from all directions, roared. He looked at the rooms where Eric had fled and chased after him. There were hundreds of guards, all of them wearing armor made of black iron and holding sabers and spears in their hands. Their bodies were emitting blood energy and their eyes were sharp. Clearly, they had been through a battle for a long time.
In a split second, Eric could already feel the shadows coming towards him from all directions in the night. He gritted his teeth and knew that Eric wouldn't joke with him since he said so.
With a stomp of his foot, Eric walked forward. At the same time, his five fingers were like lightning, and in an instant, he threw a punch at one of the guards.
The force broke through the air, and instantly, Eric's force smashed into the guard's chest.
Eric's force spread out, and the armor made of black iron cracked open in an instant. It shattered the bones in his chest. The guard let out a muffled groan, then he spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his body was sent flying away.
The blood fell on his small face. Eric's eyes sparkled. Although he had experienced countless battles, this was the first time he had killed someone. Instantly, all the blood in Eric's body started circulating at an incredible speed.
This feeling was as if something had awakened from his bloodline and was about to explode!
A bright light flashed. Eric's body rushed toward the direction where he had left. Every step he took in the air turned into a bright light, and it was difficult for him to distinguish himself in the dark.
Facing the dozen or so guard who was blocking his path, Eric's palm moved like lightning, grabbing toward the sky.
His palm moved as fast as lightning, slashing, and kicking. At the same time, three streams of energy swept across. Three guards were killed by Eric's three strikes.
"Those who block me will die!"
In the next moment, Eric roared out loudly. All the pores on his body opened up, and they contained a powerful explosive force. Every step he took was covered in blood.
At the edge of life and death, Eric's potential had been fully stimulated. In an instant, Eric had already arrived at the edge of the Prefecture. In the next moment, a powerful wind came from behind him. A middle-aged man wearing fine armor with an imposing appearance was obviously the leader of the guards. His body was like a sharp arrow as he rushed towards Eric at the same time.
