Divine Weapon

Outside the Demon-Slaying Hall.

The diamond-shaped protective shield trembled incessantly.

Since the Demon-Slaying Hall Formation is embedded in the city-protecting formation, it is part of the city-protecting formation.

As the Demon-Slaying Hall formation trembled incessantly, the remaining power further dissipated into the city's protective array. Even the city's protective array, which the Demon Emperor could not break in a short time, roared, with blazing flames constantly crisscrossing and howling in the stream of light, almost destroying the entire city's protective array.

This scene left Zhao Hua, Zhao Liang, Wu Tianya, and the others, who were still reeling from the shock, trembling with fear.

"What kind of power is this...?"

" From Gu Jinlai! This is the Divine Ability of the Gu Jinlai! I fought with him briefly. It's as if he has a blazing sun hidden within his body. Once released, it can burn the heavens and boil the seas. It is most likely the power of the illusory immortal that he sealed before he changed cultivation!"

"If this continues, the city's protective array will collapse. Once the array is destroyed, the terrifying energy within the Demon-Slaying Hall will be released, and the entire Inner City Wind and Rain City will likely be reduced to ashes."

The three sensed the city's protective array trembling incessantly.

Even now, as the city's protective array glows, it already spreads a large amount of intense flames outwards and into the void in the form of high temperatures.

The city's protective array stretched for two hundred miles, and its heat radiated over an area of tens of thousands of square kilometers. Even so, the sky was still dyed red by flames, as if there were flames burning.

Even the temperature inside the entire Wind and Rain City rose again.

The climate, which was originally in the teens of winter, has risen to over forty degrees Celsius.

Summer arrives in an instant; this is it.

"This kind of power... Jin Fantian and Cao Wudao are probably in grave danger."

Zhao Liang said.

Zhao Hua and Wu Tianya nodded solemnly.

"I wonder what other tricks that Sixth Princess has up her sleeve."

By this time, they had discovered that Jin Fantian had contacted the Sixth Prince, Duanmu Shan.

This royal expert, who had been bestowed a title by the princess, led his subordinate, Gu Siliang, who possessed peak Saint-level combat power, to Fengyu City.

On one hand, the sixth princess will investigate his actions during his years of rule over Wind and Rain City, and help Jin Fantian remove him from the throne of city lord.

On the other hand, under the pretext of dealing with this common enemy from Gu Jinlai, they won over Cao Wudao, Mu Changsheng, Fang Yan, Bai Di and others.

Although the city lords all wield divine weapons, as long as they are unable to recognize the divine weapons as their own, the control of these divine weapons has never been in the hands of these city lords. The royal family and the six great grotto heavens are the true owners of the divine weapons.

Once Jin Fantian is able to replace him as the city lord of Fengyu City, Zhao Hua's divine weapon will inevitably be taken away, and then...

"Let's fight, let's fight, it's best if we fight to the death, until we're both badly injured."

Zhao Hua's eyes flashed with coldness, showing no intention of going in to help.

At this moment, the intense and violent energy surge suddenly subsided.

Just like...

"The battle is over!?"

Zhao Liang exclaimed in surprise.

"The Demon-Slaying Hall's defensive formation has not been completely destroyed. It seems that Jin Fantian will be the ultimate victor..."

Zhao Huayi's eyes gleamed.

Wu Tianya, however, watched this scene and quietly turned to leave.

"Master Wu, where do you want to go?"

Zhao Hua immediately turned his gaze to him. "Do you think I don't know that you became a Martial Saint with the help of Demonic Beasts? If you run away today, this matter will soon become common knowledge, and then there will be no place for you in the Holy Dynasty."

Wu Tianya's expression was cold. "What does Lord Zhao mean by this? You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."

"You know in your heart whether I'm lying or not. If the higher-ups investigate, will you be able to clear your name?"

Zhao Huadao.

"An investigation from above?"

Wu Tianya sneered, "If the higher-ups really want to investigate, every single one of them, all the high-ranking officials in Fengyu City will die. But isn't that exactly what they want? Everyone is the same, they can't withstand an investigation. They can only work obediently for them and maintain good relations with the higher-ups. If you think you can threaten me like this, you are sorely mistaken."

"I don't mean to threaten you. It's just that this Sixth Princess is one of the heirs of the Holy Dynasty. If she dies in our Wind and Rain City, neither of us will be able to get away with it."

Zhao Huadao.

"Are you so certain she'll die?"

As Wu Tianya spoke, he seemed to have thought of something, glanced towards the direction of Dragon's Cry Valley outside Liuhuo City, and his expression turned stern. "You've already figured out how to make her die?"

"Same to you, it all depends on which side you're on."

As Zhao Hua spoke, he stretched out his hand, and a treasure resembling a crystal ball appeared in his palm.

Ripples emanated from this precious treasure.

This is a divine weapon that every city lord will be bestowed upon.

The Lord of Wind and Rain City possesses the Void-Sealing Pearl, which has the power to seal off the void.

Wu Tianya's expression changed several times as he looked at the treasure Zhao Hua had taken out.

Finally, he slowly said, "No matter what, I am still the head of the Martial Saint Academy in Wind and Rain City, and that will not change."

"Very good."

Zhao Hua nodded, his gaze turning to the Demon Slayer Hall, his eyes filled with cold murderous intent.

The Wind and Rain City belongs to Zhao Hua; no one can take it away.

Even members of the royal family are no exception.

Inside the Demon-Slaying Hall, Gu Jinlai has ceased his attacks.

The Demon Slayer Hall's formation is connected to the city's protective formation. If Gu Jinlai continues to attack, not only will the Demon Slayer Hall's formation be directly destroyed, but the city's protective formation will also be severely affected, and may even partially collapse.

The demonic tide led by the Dragon Cry Demon Emperor is about to sweep in, and without the power of the city-protecting array, there will surely be widespread suffering.

Furthermore...

He continued his attack, and the terrifying heat that had been blocked by the Demon-Slaying Hall's formation was bound to spread outwards, and then...

The area within dozens of miles of the Demon-Slaying Hall will inevitably be engulfed in flames.

"The power of the Eternal Forge is enough."

He uttered a faint murmur Gu Jinlai.

The lightning field spread, flashing with electricity, and rapidly swept towards a patch of ground that had turned into lava.

"Clang!"

As the lightning swept across, a resounding sound like a great bell echoed out, and a visible golden ripple spread outwards, shattering all the spreading thunder.

Gu Jinlai, people have looked up and gazed into the distance.

Just then, the spot where the Sixth Princess Duanmu Shan had originally stood was still supported by a high-grade Dao artifact resembling a golden bell.

This superior Dao artifact radiated golden light, firmly keeping the energy of nuclear fusion out.

This scene surprised both Gu Jinlai.

"Can a top-grade Dao artifact withstand the power of nuclear fusion?"

Jin Fantian's Flame Emperor Cauldron was also a high-grade Dao artifact, but it was directly blasted to ashes by attacks from Gu Jinlai times.

However, he soon realized the reason.

Inside the golden bell, Duanmu Shan was desperately holding onto a rhombus-shaped crystal.

The rhombus-shaped crystal emitted bursts of light, which continuously poured into the golden bell, causing numerous Dao patterns to appear on it. With the amplification of these Dao patterns, the bell, which was originally only a high-grade Dao artifact, was greatly strengthened, reaching a level comparable to a top-grade Dao artifact.

Especially in terms of resisting high temperatures, it surpasses even ordinary top-grade magical artifacts.

"Divine weapon!"

The Gu Jinlai suddenly became clear.

That rhombus-shaped crystal was actually a divine weapon!

He sensed it carefully for a moment and seemed to "see" a kind of defensive, sacrificial conviction...

Or, to put it another way, the power of the Great Dao.

"Defense, sacrifice?"

Gu Jinlai, people have looked upon the Sixth Princess.

The protector beside her, Gu Siliang, who possessed the strength of a peak Saint, had already fallen silent. Judging from his appearance...

He had burned his golden body, pouring all his power into the golden bell, greatly enhancing its power.

This spirit...

This perfectly embodies the concept of "sacrifice" inherent in this divine weapon.

After Gu Siliang's death, control of this divine weapon passed to Duanmu Shan.

In order to use this divine weapon, the sixth princess's golden body also weakened, and its size was reduced to a mere ten meters.

As the terrifying, blazing light around her dissipated, Duanmu Shan seemed to have finally emerged from this nightmarish scene, her divine sense surging with intense emotion. " From Gu Jinlai! I am the sixth princess of the royal family! The sixth prince, bestowed with the title of royal consort! One of the heirs of the Holy Dynasty! If you dare to kill me, you will surely be Curse, and you will become the common enemy of the entire Holy Dynasty, with nowhere to hide. In this vast world, no one can tolerate you!"

After saying that, she immediately added, "If you let me go, I will forgive and forget what happened today. In fact, the fault lies with me, and I deserve this hardship. When I return to the capital, I will gather three thousand portions of Thunder Magnetic Gold as compensation for what happened today."

A combination of kindness and severity.

The sixth princess was well aware of her situation and used both kindness and severity in her words.

He not only emphasized the consequences of killing her in Gu Jinlai, but also shifted the blame onto her, and offered three thousand portions of Thunder Magnetic Gold as compensation.

Pity...

Gu Jinlai, there has been no intention to even speak to her. The lightning domain quickly contracted, encompassing the golden bell.

Under the operation of the Chaotic Starlight Body, countless bolts of lightning surged towards this Dao artifact, which had been enhanced to the highest grade.

A deafening roar once again echoed throughout the Demon Slayer Hall.

Gu Jinlai!

This scene caused Duanmu Shan to let out a terrified scream, her eyes filled with rage. "Even if you don't care about yourself, you have to consider the Liyang Cave Heaven behind you. If you kill me, in order to maintain the dignity of the royal family, the entire Holy Dynasty will never let it go! At that time, not only will you die, but everyone in the Liyang Cave Heaven will be implicated and die with you!"

Gu Jinlai remained silent, continuing to unleash his lightning domain to bombard the golden bell that Duanmu Shan was supporting.

Given Duanmu Shan's personality, if he truly believed her threats and let her leave, then he would truly have no way out.

However, although the power of the Lightning Domain is formidable, it ultimately depends on the Chaos Star Body.

Duanmu Shan's Golden Bell received a sacrifice from Gu Siliang, a peak saint, and was also blessed by a divine weapon. Despite numerous attacks Gu Jinlai, the Dao patterns on the Golden Bell have only been weakened. At this rate, it will probably take more than ten breaths to break the Golden Bell.

Seeing this, Duanmu Shan's divine sense surged, and she rushed out of the Demon-Slaying Hall: "Zhao Hua, I know you are outside. Gu Jinlai already at his last gasp. Quickly kill him! Otherwise, when I die, I will activate the royal blood pact to leave Curse on you! At that time, the royal family will hunt down not only Gu Jinlai based on the blood pact Curse, but also you!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Hua, who was waiting outside the Demon Slayer Hall to clean up the mess, immediately changed his expression.
