He reached in.
A palm burning with demonic flame.
It pierced Xin Liang's King Realm body, hard as divine iron, with ease.
And took his crimson heart.
Crushing it outright.
"Scarlet Thunder City, the mortal... world, farewell!"
Xin Liang had intended to detonate himself, but Niu Qi had locked down his divine sense with a secret art. Coughing up mouthfuls of blood, he looked back reluctantly, his eyes filled with attachment and regret.
He knew.
After today.
Scarlet Thunder City would no longer exist.
This place.
Would be drenched entirely in blood.
"City Lord!"
"Farewell, City Lord!"
"We respectfully see the City Lord off to heaven!"
Grief-stricken cries filled Scarlet Thunder City.
Though Xin Liang usually loved drink and women.
And appeared rough and uncouth.
He actually loved his people as his own children.
He never imposed oppressive taxes.
Whenever danger struck.
He charged at the forefront.
Compared with the many incompetent city lords.
He was better by heaven knew how much!
"Whoever breaks through the barrier first will receive this Half-Emperor's King Realm corpse as blood food!" Niu Qi tossed it aside, and crimson demonic light bore Xin Liang's mutilated corpse aloft, suspending it in the air.
"A Half-Emperor's King Realm corpse as a reward?"
Many old demons breathed faster, their eyes burning with desire.
A Half-Emperor's treasure physique.
With blood and vitality like a dragon.
And the resonance of the Dao within.

"Kill!"
Under a lavish reward, brave warriors were sure to emerge.
Breaking through the barrier would originally have taken more time.
But with Xin Liang's corpse offered as a bounty.
Many old demons with earth-shattering cultivation stopped holding back.
They attacked madly.
Charging at the barrier like savage, monstrous beasts.
Many demons
