"Little fellow from the Northern Nether Sea, you've crossed the line."
The Wang Du's voice was not loud, yet it was like an invisible mountain, crashing down upon the Nu River.
The river stopped roaring.
The roars of the 100,000 demon soldiers abruptly ceased.
The entire battlefield fell into an eerie, deathly silence.
On the throne of bones, the color drained from Jiao Wuye's face at a visible speed, and his pale golden vertical pupils contracted violently, his fear no longer able to be concealed.
Wang Du!
Demon Suppression Envoy Qing Province, the Wang Du!
That man who, single-handedly, suppressed all the demons and monsters of Qing Province for a hundred years, preventing them from raising their heads!
Why would he come?!
Wasn't he seriously injured?!
On the city wall, Lan Kong, Zhang Kai, and the others were stunned at first, and then a surge of joy erupted from their chests like a volcano.
"It's... it's the Demon Suppression Envoy!"
" The Wang Du himself has arrived! Canglan Commandery is saved!"
The defenders, who had struggled in despair all night, erupted in thunderous cheers the moment they saw the figure clearly; many even wept with joy.
"Walk!"
A low, rumbling roar, like a muffled thunderclap, exploded.
The Blood Demon Crocodile's reaction was incredibly fast.
Its mountain-like body blurred instantly, transforming into a thick blood shadow that grabbed Jiao Wuye and the White Bone Throne. Blood mist exploded around it as it tried to tear through the void and escape.
It knew very well that it was no match for the Wang Du.
Legend has it that this man had a record of defeating opponents at the Heaven Realm when he was still in the Earth Realm.
Now that he has entered the Heaven Realm for over sixty years, his cultivation is unfathomable. To fight against him is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
However, Wang Du simply watched the blood mist trying to escape without even lifting his eyelids.
"You want to take people away in front of me?"
He paused, his tone as flat as if he were stating a trivial matter.
Did you ask me?
The moment the words fell, Wang Du's five fingers, held together like a knife, made a light slash in the void.
There was no thunderous force, no earth-shattering phenomenon.
Only a single, invisible, and intangible sharp intent, seemingly capable of severing cause and effect, flashed by and vanished.
Sizzle--
That " Flesh and Blood Millstone " domain, constructed from the Demonic Power of the Heaven Realm Third Level and which even the Pagoda Demonic Manifestation best efforts, was as fragile as thin ice under the sunlight in the face of that invisible blade of light, and was Soundless sliced open.
The blood mist dispersed to both sides.
The blade's edge pierced through, landing precisely on the Blood Demon Crocodile's massive body.
"Puff!"
A pool of dark red demon blood exploded into a cloud of blood mist in mid-air.
The Blood Demon Crocodile's massive, mountain-like body suddenly stiffened, letting out a roar of extreme pain.
A deep, bone-revealing slash ran from its left shoulder to its right waist and abdomen, almost cleaving its massive body in two!
Dark red keratin layer, an indestructible demonic body, protective Gang Qi constructed from the laws of the Heaven Realm...
All defenses were rendered useless by that single stroke.
A devastating blow!
With just one strike, a powerful demon at the Heaven Realm Third Level was brought to the brink of death!
The Blood Demon Crocodile's massive body could no longer remain suspended in the air. Carrying Jiao Wuye, which it had wrapped around, it crashed heavily into the Nu River below like a meteorite, stirring up towering waves hundreds of feet high.
The entire hall was deathly silent.
Whether it was the cheering defenders on the city walls or the trembling demon army on the river, everyone's expression froze.
They stared blankly at the middle-aged man who was suspended in mid-air, his expression unchanged throughout, their minds completely blank.
Is this... the power of the Demon Suppression Envoy Qing Province?
Wang Du never went to look at the dog that had fallen into the river again.
He turned around, and a soft blue light appeared in his palm, slowly flowing into Su Yu's body to stabilize his nearly collapsed life force.
"Kid, you're pretty tough."
Wang Du examined Su Yu's chaotic meridians and nearly depleted blood and qi, his brow furrowing slightly. "He just doesn't seem to take good care of himself."
Su Yu barely opened his eyes, looked at the refined face in front of him, opened his mouth, but due to the severity of his injuries, he couldn't catch his breath and started coughing violently.
"Ahem... Thank you... Demon Suppression Envoy."
You should thank yourself.
Wang Du's expression was complicated. "If you hadn't held them off for an hour, even by the time I arrived, Canglan Commandery would already be a dead city."
He took out a bright green pill from his pocket, which exuded a rich life force, and flicked it into Su Yu's mouth.
The pill melted instantly upon entering his mouth, transforming into a warm current that rapidly repaired Su Yu's shattered meridians.
"You deserve the greatest credit for this battle."
Wang Du's voice wasn't loud, but it carried clearly throughout the entire Canglan Commandery City.
Lan Kong and Zhang Kai on the city wall exchanged a glance, both seeing shock and shame in each other's eyes.
As commanders of a prefecture, they could only watch helplessly as a captain fought valiantly, even nearly losing his life.
They felt unworthy of this credit.
"Splash!"
Just then, the river below exploded again.
The Blood Demon Crocodile, dragging its half-crippled body, resurfaced. One of its arms was completely severed, and countless buds of flesh were writhing wildly at the horrific wound on its body, trying to heal, but were firmly stopped by an invisible, sharp force of law.
For the first time, its cloudy eyes were filled with fear.
"The... the Wang Du!"
The Blood Demon Crocodile's voice was hoarse, "I am a protector under the Northern Nether Sea. If you kill me, His Majesty the Demon Emperor will not let this go!"
Beside it, Jiao Wuye's face was deathly pale, but he forced himself to shout, " Wang Du! My father is the Lord of the Northern Nether Sea! If you dare to touch me, you are making an enemy of the entire Northern Nether Sea! Can your Demon Suppression Bureau bear the consequences?!"
Bringing up the background is their only lifeline at this moment.
Upon hearing this, the Wang Du smiled.
He slowly turned his head, his gaze calmly landing on Jiao Wuye's fierce but cowardly face.
"To make an enemy of the Northern Nether Sea?"
He shook his head as if he had heard a funny joke.
You're not qualified.
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his right hand and made a clenching motion downwards.
As for the consequences...
Boom--!
The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi within a radius of a thousand miles was completely drained in that instant!
A colossal hand, formed from endless lightning and laws, tore through the clouds and slowly descended before the horrified eyes of Jiao Wuye and the Blood Demon Crocodile!
Lightning crackled on that giant hand, each arc of electricity seemingly containing the divine might to judge all living beings.
"No--!"
The Blood Demon Crocodile let out its final, defiant roar.
Its figure, along with Jiao Wuye's and the white bone throne, appeared as insignificant as dust beneath the slowly tightening giant hand of thunder.
Wang Du looked down at the river surface that had been completely swallowed by lightning, his voice calm yet resounding through the sky.
"... I will take full responsibility."
