Throughout the entire megacity, only the area around the city lord's mansion maintained a high level of vigilance and alertness.
Because the two most important women to His King are sleeping here, almost all the experts in Chambord City, except for Petr Čech who is assisting Frank Ribery in the defense of Twin Flag City as ordered by Sun Fei, are stationed here. Fifty Saint patrol day and night, while Frank Lampard, the city's top expert at the time, guards the main hall of the city lord's mansion without leaving his side.
With such tight security, even ordinary people with dulled senses would feel a terrifying, bone-chilling killing intent if they walked within a hundred meters of the city lord's mansion, and would be unable to move forward.
On the afternoon of the fourth day, before sunset.
A gaunt figure appeared 500 meters outside the city lord's mansion gate.
"Hmm? This must be it. The guards are so tight; they must be protecting some important person or guarding some precious treasure. Hmph, it must be King of Chambord Alexander's lair. Haha, while he's away, let's storm in and wreak havoc, vent our anger first, and when King of Chambord returns, we'll make him half-dead with rage, hahaha..."
The gaunt figure's eyes flashed with an unyielding resentment. Recalling the humiliation he had suffered at the hands of King of Chambord, anger rose from his heart and malice took hold. Filled with boundless hatred, he approached the city lord's mansion step by step.
This person was none other than Doni, the second disciple of the Great Snow Mountain Snow Mountain Hermit.
He and [ Snow Mountain Hermit ] lost their chance to enter [ Elemental Gate ] and were seriously injured. In addition, Doni had made many enemies there because of his arrogance, so he dared not stay in [ God and Demon Palace ] any longer. After recuperating for a while, he quietly crossed [ Gate of Gods and Demons ] and returned to the Boundless Waters. He then entered the city through the well area of Twin Flag City to recuperate for the time being.
For some unknown reason, the [ Snow Mountain Hermit ] did not pursue Doni's betrayal at all, maintained his favoritism towards him, and continued to take good care of him, which made Doni become arrogant again.
Originally, the [ Snow Mountain Hermit ] had already calculated the time. Before King of Chambord and other experts returned, he planned to lie in wait in the well-stocked and convenient Twin Flag City for a period of time to recuperate. Once his strength had recovered somewhat, he would immediately take Doni back to the Great Snow Mountain to avoid trouble. He also repeatedly warned the good-for-nothing Doni not to cause any more trouble in the city, lest he be discovered and cause changes.
However, Doni was more trouble than he was worth, couldn't resist running out to wander around and relieve his boredom after hiding for two boring days. He unintentionally came to the front of the city lord's mansion. Remembering what had happened before, he could no longer hold back and suddenly had murderous intent.
call out!
With a swift movement, Doni easily slipped past the Saint's patrol outside and entered the city lord's mansion.
Although he was as weak as a maggot in front of Sun Fei, and even a single glance from His Majesty the King could seriously injure him, facing the Saint of King of Chambord before him, the strength of the New Moon Class Lower Stage First Level was absolutely beyond his reach. He easily bypassed the layers of defenses and broke through three or four layers of defenses in just half a minute, rapidly approaching the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning shot into the sky.
"Damn it, a magic trap? Who set up a magic trap here? Amazing, I didn't even notice..." More than 400 meters away from the main hall of the city lord's mansion, Doni's mouth was steaming, half of his body was blackened by electricity, and his legs were numb.
He hadn't expected that such an ingenious magical trap would be set up in the city lord's mansion. With his Early-Tier New Moon Class strength, he stepped on it without noticing at all. In an instant, lightning shot into the sky, and bolts of lightning formed terrifying electricity that coiled towards him.
"Damn it, break!" Doni unleashed a burst of flames, shattering the oncoming electricity.
However, this sudden change exposed his true colors, causing a chorus of exclamations throughout the city lord's mansion.
The Saint and a group of experts from Chambord City noticed the anomaly and quickly gathered around the scene.
These magical traps were personally set up by His Majesty Alexander. They are incredibly lethal and extremely well-hidden, covering almost the entire city lord's mansion. Only a few very concealed safe passages lead to the main hall. Outsiders who enter without knowing what's going on will inevitably trigger the magical mechanisms, revealing their identities and making it difficult for them to remain hidden.
"Who dares to trespass on the sacred grounds of my Twin Flag City?" A figure flashed atop the distant main hall. A handsome young man with blond hair and dressed in white, holding a strangely shaped longbow, his body shimmering with layers of azure flames, drew the bow like Full Moon. Three arrows were simultaneously nocked, flashing with cold light, and aimed at Doni, who had already exposed himself. He shouted, "State your identity and surrender, or you will be killed without mercy!"
At the same time, numerous figures appeared layer upon layer from all directions.
The massive, mountain-like warden Oleg, with a centipede-like scar on his forehead that made him look incredibly ferocious, along with the equally muscular and extremely fierce [ Heng and Ha Generals ] Pierce and Drogba, appeared from all sides, exuding a sharp aura, and surrounded Doni in layers.
At the main gate of the city lord's mansion in the distance, Frank Lampard's tall figure appeared. A black Giant Divine Weapon was stuck in the Rock at his feet. Although he did not speak, his whole body was surrounded by lightning, exuding an awe-inspiring and terrifying pressure. At this moment, his strength had actually broken through again in a short time, reaching the level of the Nine-Star Class Intermediate Stage.
Doni had a bad feeling.
He hadn't expected to be discovered so quickly; it seemed he had underestimated the King of Chambord's subordinates.
However, at this moment, his body was enveloped in fiery red Dou Qi, making him appear from a distance like a crimson mist, concealing his true face. He wasn't worried about being discovered, and thus retreated. Yet, he was unwilling to give up. Thinking that the most terrifying King of Chambord should not be in his residence at this time, and that no one was his match, his courage grew considerably. He used his Dou Qi to alter his voice, letting out a shrill, eerie laugh, "Heh heh, a bunch of chickens and dogs! Those who block my way shall die!"
Before he finished speaking, he flashed forward and charged directly toward the main hall of the city lord's mansion in the distance.
"You're asking for death!" Torres, with his flowing blond hair, roared. He released his fingers, and three arrows, enveloped in azure light, shot out in a triangular formation. They were incredibly fast; before the whistling sound could even be heard, the arrows were already upon Doni, blocking his path.
Doni chuckled and flicked his fingers three times in quick succession.
Bang bang bang!
The three arrows, along with the blue light they enveloped, exploded simultaneously, turning into a cloud of dust.
"Amazing!" Upon seeing this, the experts from Chambord City were all taken aback.
Torres was deeply favored by His Majesty and was the most insightful among the many experts in Chambord City. He was incredibly Aura, and his archery skills had long since reached the point where he could kill enemies far above his level. Moreover, those three arrows he had just used actually had a name: the [ Divine Transformation Three Arrows ]. It was a killing move that His Majesty had personally taught this close attendant, containing dozens of follow-up variations. Even a seven- or eight- Star Class expert would choose to retreat in the face of such a blue light arrow. However, this strange man had simply flicked his finger and broken it so easily, without even having time to unleash any of the follow-up variations... This strange man's strength was probably far beyond their imagination.
"Stay here... [ Sekishiki Meikai Ha ]!!!!"
In the distance, Warden Oleg roared and unleashed a series of attacks, his bones cracking and popping as his mountain-like body bent down, slamming his fists into the ground. Only two fist marks appeared on the ground, seemingly without much power, but Doni, more than forty meters away, suddenly felt a sense of alarm. A powerful and strange aura suddenly surged up from the ground beneath him, sweeping towards his lower body.
"What a strange Dou Qi technique."
Doni stomped his foot, and an even more powerful fire-based force blasted back. The ground shook violently, and the massive shockwave caused the bluestone slabs to be lifted up, flying everywhere like scraps of paper and dust.
They were blocked for less than three seconds, and then the alarm bells rang again.
Doni looked up again and saw a huge shadow looming down from above, accompanied by an extremely sharp, invisible sword aura. Doni's heart pounded, and he gathered his Dou Qi in his arms and threw a punch.
boom!!
"Ugh... Pfft!" White-haired Pierce spat out a mouthful of blood, his body flying backward like a cannonball.
The difference in strength between the two was too great. Doni hastily shattered the [ Holy Sword Excalibur ] with a single punch, severely injuring the Six-Star Class Peak [ White-Haired Swift Sword ] Pierce.
However, Doni himself was also not feeling well. He was horrified to discover that whether it was the blond boy's strange three arrows, the giant scarred fat man's earth-shattering Dou Qi technique that followed, or the white-haired strong man's invisible sword aura just now, all these moves contained an extremely strange power. It was as weak as a wisp of smoke, but as terrifying and profound as a sky full of brilliant stars. It could silently penetrate his New Moon Class level fire battle Dou Qi and invade his body, causing him harm.
"We must act quickly. The people of Chambord are so nervous about that main hall, it must contain something that King of Chambord values highly. I must destroy it completely and then leave as soon as possible..." Having made up his mind, Doni no longer concealed his strength, unleashing his full power at the New Moon Class Lower Stage First Level, and rushed towards the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion.
