After executing the officials, the rage in Li Guanglong's heart finally subsided somewhat.
At this point, Lincheng was beyond saving. It
was only a matter of time before the red mist devoured the entire city.
With his current capabilities, nothing he did
would make a difference. He might as well vent his frustration by killing a few
corrupt bureaucrats.
“Buzz~!”
Suddenly, a loud rumble echoed from the skies
above.
It sounded like thunderclaps tearing through
the heavens, and even the ground beneath their feet trembled slightly.
“What’s going on?” Li Guanglong frowned deeply.
“Your Highness! Something’s happening outside!”
Wan Zhong entered the hall and quickly reported.
“Let’s go see!”
Without wasting any time, Li Guanglong strode
out of the mansion.
Far off in the sky, a massive energy vortex had
appeared at some unknown point.
The vortex was over a hundred meters wide --- at
a glance, it looked like a black hole, exuding an immense sense of power and
dread.
Floating beneath it was a solitary figure.
Because of the distance, they couldn’t make out
the figure’s appearance --- only that he was dressed in white.
“What’s this guy up to?” Li Guanglong squinted,
filled with suspicion.
To suddenly appear in the sky and conjure such
a powerful vortex --- what was he planning?
“Unclear for now, but I can say for certain:
this man is at least at the level of an Ultimate Grandmaster,” Wan Zhong
said grimly.
As a Grandmaster himself, his senses
were sharp.
Yet, even with the figure clearly in view, he
couldn’t feel the slightest trace of energy from him.
That alone proved the man’s strength was far
beyond his comprehension.
“Ultimate Grandmaster or not, what good is that
in the face of such a calamity?” Li Guanglong said coldly.
That red miasma couldn’t be dispelled. Even if
someone forcefully dispersed it, it would quickly regenerate and return to
normal.
An Ultimate Grandmaster, powerful as he might
be, couldn’t defy the heavens.
“Buzz~!”
At that moment, the vortex in the sky began
spinning even faster.
A terrifying suction force burst forth from it.
Li Guanglong and Wan Zhong, standing on the
ground below, could clearly feel a force tugging at their bodies.
And it was only getting stronger.
“What kind of divine power is this? It’s
affecting us from this far away?”
Li Guanglong’s expression changed; gone was his
earlier dismissiveness, replaced with astonishment.
They were at least five kilometers from the
vortex.
From here, the figure in the sky looked no
bigger than an ant.
To feel such overwhelming suction from that
distance --- it was beyond imagination.
“This man’s power is utterly unfathomable!” Wan
Zhong was in awe.
Ordinary Ultimate Grandmasters were nowhere
near this level. He could no longer even estimate the strength of that distant
figure.
“Buzz~!”
The vortex in the sky spun even faster.
Within a ten-kilometer radius, violent winds
rose, whipping sand and debris into the air.
And the red mist --- once spreading endlessly
like a plague --- finally met its match. It was being sucked back with
terrifying speed by the vortex.
From the ground, one could see the red mist
that had blanketed several kilometers being lifted up and rapidly pulled into
the vortex.
From above, the scene looked like a crimson
tide receding from the land it had poisoned.
In mere minutes, the red mist that had
terrified everyone was completely absorbed --- utterly erased, leaving no trace
behind.
Then, the white-clad figure in the sky raised a
hand, and the massive energy vortex vanished instantly.
A glowing, blood-red orb gently floated down
from the air, finally landing in the figure’s hand and disappearing into his
robes.
“……”
Li Guanglong and Wan Zhong were both utterly
speechless.
Not in their wildest dreams could they have
imagined that the horrific, unstoppable red mist would vanish like this.
The threat they had struggled to contain with
all their strength --- gone in the blink of an eye, resolved by a single
unknown stranger.
It was too shocking. Too unexpected. Too
unreal.
“Wan Zhong… could an Ultimate Grandmaster
really do this?” Li Guanglong’s voice trembled.
“Impossible. No matter how powerful, no
Ultimate Grandmaster could wield divine powers like this,” Wan Zhong said,
shaking his head in shock.
“Then… what level has that man in the sky
reached?” Li Guanglong’s eyes widened.
“Unless I’m mistaken, he’s reached the realm of
the Land Fairyland!” Wan Zhong swallowed hard.
A God-on-Earth!
Aside from that one from Mount Longhu, who else
could possibly reach such heights?
“Could it be the Master from Mount Longhu
himself?” Li Guanglong was in disbelief.
“Doesn’t look like him. Likely someone else
entirely,” Wan Zhong replied with a deep breath.
“Our Dragonmarsh is full of hidden dragons and
crouching tigers --- perhaps a reclusive powerhouse has stepped out to help.”
“Whoever it is --- they just solved our biggest
crisis! Lincheng is saved, and my future is saved!”
After the initial shock, Li Guanglong couldn’t
hold back his elation.
Just moments ago, he had nearly given up on
Lincheng, ready to abandon it and run.
Who would’ve thought --- at the very last
moment --- the tides would turn?
A peerless God-on-Earth had appeared from
nowhere.
With divine powers, he resolved the crisis that
had threatened the entire city --- effortlessly.
It was as if Heaven itself had intervened! - Ton
