"Ahhh!"

Lord of the Black Abyss was beside himself with rage. Seeing this, Xiang Tian suddenly found it inexplicably amusing—wasn't he no different from the furious Ding father and son?

"Abyss Master, the way you looked just now was exactly like that old man Ding Heshan."

He did not forget to rub salt in Lord of the Black Abyss's wounds.

The Black Abyss's accumulation over countless years had vanished into bubbles before his eyes. How could he possibly accept this? He was practically going mad!

"Brat, I'll have you die! Open fire!"

In the sky, countless Black Abyss fighter jets activated, and shells rained down from above. The scene scared the souls out of the people inside Sin City.

Sure, when the city gate caught fire, the fish in the moat suffered—but wasn't this collateral damage a little too much? There were tens of thousands of people in this city!

With no other choice, they could only use every means at their disposal to defend themselves, terrified of being caught in the blast. Xiang Tian, however, remained utterly calm, standing firm before the rain of shells.

Boom!

As the shells exploded, everyone's vision turned white and their ears rang without end. It took a long while for the blinding radiance filling the sky to fade.

In an instant, the entire city was reduced to ruins. Severed limbs flew everywhere, flesh and blood carpeted the ground, and the sight was enough to make one retch.

Most of those capable of surviving were pale-faced, their hearts still trembling with fear.

The Black Abyss had gone mad—truly mad. They had destroyed all of Sin City!

But what drove them further into despair was that Xiang Tian was wrapped in a sphere of blue water. The previous attack had not harmed him in the slightest!

How had this guy done it? Was that woman some kind of monster?

It was not only them. Everyone in the Black Abyss was utterly shocked.

But just then, another Divine Armor flew out from the rear, and a rough voice rang out. "Abyss Master, let me handle him! Today, I'll cripple him for sure!"

"Eighth, don't go!"

The Abyss Master was startled, but it was already too late.

Xiang Tian charged straight at Eighth, who was rushing toward him. A layer of black radiance had already covered his fist.

Boom!

That punch pierced straight through the Divine Armor. All manner of precision parts scattered across the ground, bursting apart in sprays of blood.

Everyone who saw this sucked in a cold breath. That punch was far too vicious. Not only had he resisted Divine Armor with his bare body, he had beaten the armor into such a state. At that moment, many people's curiosity toward Xiang Tian turned into fear.

"Eighth!"

Of the Eighteen Generals of the Black Abyss, two had been directly lost to Xiang Tian. No matter what, the Abyss Master could not accept it.

Then, another scalp-numbing scene appeared before the survivors of Sin City. Black Abyss fighter jets and Divine Armor units swarmed toward Xiang Tian like a dense cloud.

The sound of the conch rose again. The seawater thundered and transformed into a water dragon. Various sea creatures could even be seen swept up within the current as it charged toward those fighter jets.

Fire flared throughout the sky, and explosions rang out without cease.

How could Lord of the Black Abyss stand by and watch his subordinates crash and explode one after another? He directly piloted his Divine Armor, leading the remaining sixteen Divine Armor units toward the water dragon.

The current was too fierce, blasting the dozen or so of them backward.

"Activate emergency mode!"

At Lord of the Black Abyss's command, the source energy within all seventeen Divine Armor units, including his own, began to circulate wildly. Gradually, it was no longer the slowly flowing gold, but a vivid crimson like human blood, surging forth in a frenzy.

Once this state was activated, the burden on the human body was immense. But there was no choice—the water dragon was simply too terrifying.

Seeing that they had finally forced the water dragon to a halt, the Abyss Master let out a breath of relief. After issuing orders to the remaining sixteen generals, he charged directly at Xiang Tian.

He believed that after using this method, Xiang Tian would have no other tricks left. As for what exactly the woman behind him was, he had no mind to consider it now. Only one thought remained in his head: kill Xiang Tian.

Poor Eighth was still hanging from Xiang Tian's arm. Seeing Lord of the Black Abyss charging over, Xiang Tian gave him a casual swing, hurling Eighth and his Divine Armor straight at him.

At the sight of his brother's corpse, Lord of the Black Abyss was heartbroken beyond measure. But he understood that if he caught his brother now, killing Xiang Tian would become that much harder.

So he dodged, allowing Eighth to plunge toward the ground.

When they were only several dozen meters apart, Lord of the Black Abyss vanished outright, instantly appearing behind Xiang Tian and driving a fist at the back of his head.

The move was startlingly unexpected, and Lord of the Black Abyss was overjoyed. Xiang Tian was dead for sure!

But to his surprise, his fist passed directly through Xiang Tian's head. The Xiang Tian before him was like a virtual projection, not a physical body at all.

Then the back of his own head was struck as though by a massive hammer, leaving him dizzy and seeing stars. In midair, he nearly lost all sense of direction and fell.

Lord of the Black Abyss was fast, but Xiang Tian was faster. Divine Armor was indeed formidable, but its strength lay only in sheer destructive power. Why did most cultivators look down on these iron lumps? Because in actual combat, they simply lacked the eerie unpredictability and myriad transformations of spells and divine abilities.

In the Abyss Master's eyes, his spatial distortion technique was practically miraculous. But to Xiang Tian, it was nothing more than a little trick he had long since grown tired of playing with.

The Abyss Master turned and swung his iron fist again, but it still struck nothing.

Meanwhile, the stunningly beautiful woman merely held the conch in her hand, quietly watching the two men's entangling battle.

Xiang Tian vanished once more. Lord of the Black Abyss only felt his head sink, and everyone saw Xiang Tian standing directly atop the Abyss Master's head.

His heart jolted, and Lord of the Black Abyss had already sensed that something was wrong. Then a sudden pain shot through his neck, and his entire body fell from the sky like a mountain.

It was hard to imagine the sight of a person's head being driven directly into their body by an external blow. Even the Divine Armor twisted and warped from the impact.

When it crashed to the ground and the smoke and dust cleared, the Divine Armor had already shattered into pieces. Lord of the Black Abyss had gone to keep Old Eight company as well.

Xiang Tian stood where he was, his expression indifferent. Looking at the woman, he softly spoke two words: "Clean up!"

The woman nodded and controlled the water dragon as it unleashed its might once more. High in the sky, every Divine Armor fighter jet was destroyed. Many of Black Abyss's people had not even reacted before their leader was already dead.

When the water dragon returned to the sea, heaven and earth fell quiet. Not a single person from Black Abyss survived.

The survivors of Sin City did not dare even breathe loudly, much less move their legs.

Xiang Tian glanced at them but paid them no further attention. Unlike what he had done with the Ding Family last time, he did not erase their memories.

After all, whether it was Jade Pool or Riyao, their grudges with him had not yet reached the point of no return. Since they thought he was so easy to manipulate, he might as well make the game bigger and let them weigh for themselves whether they could still manipulate him.

Xiang Tian left, yet the people remaining in Sin City did not dare make a move for a long time.

Looking at the wreckage scattered across the ground, they still felt as if they were trapped in a dream. The dream had not ended, and within it, Black Abyss—one of the strongest underground organizations—had vanished.

All because of one young man. A vast army, two cities, all destroyed.
