Chapter 857: Chapter 857: Drawing Spiritual Energy Barehanded, Destroying a City with a Single Palm!

Giant Spirit City!

As the main city with a teleportation array, both the City Lord and the Garrison Commander of Giant Spirit City are of the Martial Saint realm!

At this moment, both of them stood silently at the city gate, watching blood rain fall from the sky.

After a long while, the City Lord finally spoke with a hoarse voice, "Brother Bai, mobilize the City Defense Army, close the gates, and defend the city! Simultaneously, immediately send a message to the Governor of the prefecture, stating that a Martial Saint has fallen in our Giant Spirit City!"

Not long ago, a person from another world dressed in a Daoist robe brazenly appeared in Giant Spirit City.

He was detected by the Jade Plaque!

The person killed the gatekeeper on the spot and fled!

The Southern Hunting Squad One, who was visiting Giant Spirit City, immediately set out to hunt down the barbarian from another world.

Shortly after, the captain of the Southern Hunting Squad One, Martial Saint Yama, arrived through the teleportation array!

Yet now, it has only been the time of half a cup of tea, and Martial Saint Yama has fallen!

This situation made the City Lord of Giant Spirit City realize they were in big trouble!

Martial Saint Yama was a mid-stage Martial Saint, while both he and the Garrison Commander were merely early-stage Martial Saints!

If the enemy invades, they wouldn’t be able to defend!

The Garrison Commander nodded.

With a Martial Saint’s mighty roar, he howled towards the sky!

Along with the howl, alarm signals resounded throughout the city.

Bam!

A gigantic light barrier suddenly appeared, enveloping the vast Giant Spirit City.

With the protective shield in place, both the City Lord and the Garrison Commander could finally breathe a slight sigh of relief!

The main city’s protective shield cannot be broken except by a Martial God!

Although opening it for even a moment requires consuming a massive amount of Spirit Stones, there was no time to worry about that now!

They only hoped that the terrifying otherworldly powerhouse capable of killing a mid-stage Martial Saint would not come to Giant Spirit City!

Just as the City Lord was thinking this, he saw two streaks of sword light flying from afar, approaching this direction.

Judging by the direction of the sword light’s appearance, it was precisely where the powerful aura had just erupted and where Martial Saint Yama had fallen!

"Brother Bai, it seems that today you and I may have to sacrifice ourselves for the city’s honor."

The City Lord’ expression was complex, impossible to tell if he felt sorrow or a sense of liberation.

The Qianyuan Empire is immensely powerful and unmatched.

Within the empire’s borders, there is almost no war.

It is very rare for a Martial Saint to fall.

At least for the past two to three thousand years, none of the thirteen prefectures of the Southern Domain have heard of any Martial Saint dying in battle.

Today, first Martial Saint Yama fell, and now, they probably don’t have much time either!

The protective shield consumes massive amounts, sustaining only for one hour!

The formidable adversary doesn’t even need to attack forcefully; after half an hour, he can easily enter the city!

An hour, is it enough to await reinforcements?

The teleportation array takes half an hour each time it is activated!

The most likely reinforcements would only be the Governor of Boyang Prefecture!

The Lords of the other main cities, like the City Lord and Garrison Commander, are mostly early-stage Martial Saints!

If those people come, they’re probably just delivering themselves!

Martial Sage of the White Desolation laughed coldly, "Martyrdom for the city? The one who can kill me, Bai Huang, hasn’t been born yet! Brother Mo, see what this is!"

Saying this, the Martial Sage of the White Desolation casually flipped his hand, and a flickering jade sword appeared in his hand!

"Lifebound Magical Artifact! Brother Bai, you actually have a Magic Artifact in your hand!"

Mayor Mo was both surprised and shocked!

He had been acquainted with the White Desolation for many years, always getting along peacefully, and Bai Huang never displayed that kind of imperial arrogance.

He thought Bai Huang was content to retire peacefully in Giant Spirit City, nothing more to ask, but unexpectedly, he had a Lifebound Magical Artifact in hand!

What is called a Lifebound Magical Artifact, is a tool nurtured for a hundred years by those in the imperial realm, combining life essence for simultaneous cultivation!

It can unleash the strongest strike of a Martial God!

It is usually granted as a protective Dharma treasure to the core disciples of a family.

Now, with Bai Huang holding such an object, he must have an agenda!

Perhaps, if not for today’s catastrophe, he wouldn’t have brought it out.

"Bai Family... What a Bai Family!"

Mayor Mo lowered his head, not wanting Bai Huang to see the cold glint in his eyes!

The Bai Family, now the head of the Four Great Royal Clans, conceals the Lifebound Magical Artifact, aiming far and wide!

What else can they scheme?

Nothing less than the supreme position of the Human Emperor!

Outside Giant Spirit City.

Above in the void.

Yun Rou curiously gazed at the vast sprawling city below!

She had only been to Qianfang City.

Compared to the boundless Giant Spirit City before her, Qianfang City was like a barren countryside!

Even though she had read related records about the main city in books, seeing it with her own eyes at this moment, Yun Rou still felt overwhelmed!

The Qianyuan Empire truly is a great nation!

So thought Yun Rou in her heart!

"Sir, is opposing the Qianyuan Empire like a mantis trying to stop a cart..."

Suddenly, she started to worry for Lin Mu.

Compared to the boundless territory and powerful national strength of the Qianyuan Empire, Lin Mu’s power as a single person seemed too weak!

Lin Mu descended on a flying sword.

Li Kunlun followed closely with Yun Rou.

"Your Excellency, should we attack the city now, or wait for this defensive formation to dissipate on its own?"

He was from the Ancient Land Sect and understood city protective shields very well.

This Giant Spirit City spans hundreds of miles; a city of this size, completely covered by a defensive formation, requires an astronomical amount of Spirit Stones!

Just by waiting a bit, this defensive formation could crumble without an attack!

"Sir, this senior brother, Giant Spirit City is one of the eighteen main cities of Boyang Prefecture, equipped with a teleportation array; if we keep waiting, reinforcements might arrive..."

Yun Rou, aware that the safety of the Yun clan was now tied to Lin Mu, couldn’t help but remind them.

Li Kunlun, unfamiliar with the Qianyuan Empire, fell silent upon seeing the woman beside his Excellency opposing.

Lin Mu stepped off the flying sword, placing his foot on the stone path, and said blandly, "To break the formation, there’s no need to wait!"

As his words fell, Lin Mu reached out towards the earth!

"Borrow the Spirit Vein for three thousand miles!"

Rumble!

The earth trembled, the massive city quaked!

Within three thousand miles of Giant Spirit City, spiritual energy surged, the earth veins rolled, and countless spiritual energy gathered towards Lin Mu’s hand!

Roaring spiritual energy, resembling a gigantic dragon, swept in like a torrent.

In the sky, gigantic dragons of spiritual energy blocked out the sun, swirling and dancing!

Inside Giant Spirit City.

Mayor Mo and the Martial Sage of the White Desolation were left dumbfounded.

They didn’t expect that the so-called barbarian from another world had such miraculous ability!

To gather the spiritual energy of three thousand miles with a single phrase, what kind of power is this!

"City Lord, something terrible has happened!"

A magician dressed in a Divine Robe rushed to Mayor Mo and the Martial Sage of the White Desolation.

He was the Divine Hall Sorcerer responsible for guarding the teleportation array!

Also the one in charge of the protective shield of the defensive formation.

At this moment, he looked panicked.

"The spiritual energy of the Spirit Stones in the defensive formation, they’ve all been drawn away by that person outside!"

The sorcerer showed a frantic expression.

Divine Hall Sorcerers are famed for their mysterious and unfathomable methods.

In the Qianyuan Empire, the name of a sorcerer is often associated with wonders.

But he never imagined there was someone who could draw the spiritual energy from the Spirit Stones over a distance of one or two hundred miles!

What kind of ghostly and divine method is this?

To say something disrespectful, even the gods above probably couldn’t accomplish this!

His faith was almost overturned!

One can only imagine the fear in the sorcerer’s heart at this moment!

Mayor Mo and the Martial Sage of the White Desolation were equally astounded.

To drain the Spirit Stones, what kind of Dao Arts is this?

Rumble!

Before they could figure it out, the colossal protective shield enveloping Giant Spirit City began to dim! 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

The shield, which could originally last an hour, couldn’t even hold up for half a cup of tea now!

"Brother Bai!"

Mayor Mo looked towards the Martial Sage of the White Desolation!

Now, their only hope was the Lifebound Magical Artifact in the hands of the Martial Sage of the White Desolation.

The expression of the Martial Sage of the White Desolation turned solemn, gazing earnestly at the Lifebound Magical Artifact in his hand.

"Please, Martial God, appear!"

The Martial Sage of the White Desolation threw the jade sword to the sky while activating the Lifebound Magical Artifact with a special technique.

Rumble!

The already fragile protective shield collapsed and shattered under divine might!

A shadow, traversing heaven and earth, appeared in the sky above Giant Spirit City!
