The protection formed around Sui Shi City Lord by the city's array formation withstood the slash.
Space-time shook, but the seemingly tottering protective power still blocked the attack.
Moreover, the array formation drew in the energy of heaven and earth and poured its power into the defense, keeping the barrier on the verge of collapse remarkably stable.
"Guan!" Sui Shi City Lord was terrified, but he quickly realized that the array formation's power was now forming a Chaos Master Level defense around him.
Even a Chaos Master would need quite some time to break through it, though this was, of course, also because energy was constantly being drawn in to replenish it.
At that moment, Sui Shi City Lord felt as though he understood the principle his father had followed when creating this city's array formation: the entire city was less important than his safety.
"So I wasn't exiled after all." Sui Shi City Lord was somewhat dazed, but his attention remained focused on the life-or-death crisis before him.
"Guan, you can't do anything to me either. Why don't we bury the hatchet?" Sui Shi City Lord said.
"Can't do anything to you?" Dongguan narrowed his eyes. Rather than waste words, he casually created a space-time prison, sealing off space-time, then vanished.
The next instant, he appeared elsewhere in the City Lord's Mansion.
"Damn it, he really knows." Sui Shi City Lord was genuinely beginning to wonder whether he himself was the traitor.
"Break!" He mobilized all his power. With array formation nodes now collapsing, he could no longer control its power as freely, so he simply rammed into the prison.
As long as one dared take the risk, defensive power could also be used to attack.
"Break! Break! Break!" He rammed into it frantically, struggling desperately for his life.
