The raging flames burned wildly, releasing terrifying heat that softened the surrounding Rock, almost melting them into lava. Black smoke billowed into the sky, carrying the smell of sulfur. The scene was nothing short of Hell, filled with the aura of death.

This is what the main hall of the Twin Flag City Lord's Mansion looks like right now.

The main hall had been completely destroyed by Doni's consecutive Moon Class Dou Qi Technique [ Flame Explosion ] and the subsequent sudden mysterious explosion. Huge rubble lay scattered everywhere. The side halls on both sides of the main hall were also destroyed. Among the rubble were some indistinct limbs and torn white dresses, smeared with black blood. Just one glance was enough to make one feel horrified.

The air seemed to freeze.

Doni and the other experts from Chambord City, who had previously clashed, were now thrown more than twenty meters away by the shockwave from the explosion. Still reeling from the horrific scene before them, they stared in disbelief at the carnage. Doni, despite his injuries, had repeatedly unleashed Moon Class Dou Qi techniques, only to be further aggravated by the shockwave. Combined with the internal injuries inflicted by the strange power during his earlier fight with the Chambord City members, his internal Dou Qi was disrupted, his injuries worsened, and his blood surged, preventing him from escaping. The Chambord City members were also affected by the explosion, suffering injuries of varying degrees, but fortunately, they were all relatively outside the blast zone. Surrounded, none were in mortal danger. The most seriously injured were Lampard and Torres, who were closest to the main hall. Lampard was directly hit by the shockwave of the explosion, but fortunately, he was the strongest among them and used his Lightning Dou Qi to protect his vital points. He was only blasted away, and his injuries were not too serious. Torres, on the other hand, was standing on the top of the main hall. After being blasted away, he made full use of the characteristics of Wind-Element Dou Qi, floating in the air like a willow catkin. He stepped on the blasted Rock and gracefully arrived at the outer edge, almost unharmed.

Looking at the Hell scene before them, everyone in Chambord City felt a chill in their hearts.

Princess Angela and the Valkyrie Elena, they...

"Kill him, kill him, avenge the Queen..." The warden Oleg, his skin torn and bleeding from the explosion, was covered in blood. His eyes turned bloodshot, and he charged forward like a madman. Before Doni could regain his Dou Qi, he grabbed the Low-Tier New Moon Class expert tightly, his arms cracking as he tried to strangle him with brute force.

Doni coughed up blood, his vision blurred, and he nearly suffocated from the grip of the crazed giant. Several of his ribs snapped with a crack. He struggled frantically, pounding Oleg's arms with both hands, roaring, "Aaaaah, it hurts so much! Get away, get away from me, you lowly maggot, you're asking for it! Let me go, ahhhhhh!!"

Doni, with his forearm-length strength, struck Oleg's arm repeatedly, breaking the bone in just a few blows, sending it snapping into pieces.

"Don't even think about it! We'll die together, we'll die together! You killed Her Highness the Queen, you killed Queen Angela, you ruined my chance to be a good person! Ahhh, we'll die together!" Oleg's face was deathly pale, his forearm was almost smashed to pieces by his opponent, held together only by layers of broken muscles and bones, but he seemed to feel no pain, his hands clenched tightly together, refusing to let go, still trying to strangle Doni.

At this point, the warden had completely lost his mind.

He was originally a lackey of Bazel, the traitorous messenger of Chambord City, a tyrant whom countless people in Chambord City dared not speak out against. After His Majesty Alexander rose to power, many people demanded Oleg's execution, but Sun Fei, with the prestige and power of the King, spared this treacherous minister whom most people despised and hated, giving him the opportunity to increase his strength and numerous chances to redeem himself. At first, Oleg was only trying his best to save his life, but later he gradually felt the change in the way people looked at him, from contempt to appreciation, from disgust to acceptance. Oleg himself also felt an unprecedented sense of accomplishment and satisfaction from this change, and for the first time felt the Glory of being a 'good person'.

Oleg vowed to uphold this Glory.

He must become one of His Majesty's key assistants, like Pierce, Drogba, Torres, and Čech.

Oleg's dark past experiences instilled in him a deep-seated inferiority complex, yet this also became his driving force.

He was willing to give everything for His Alexander, even his life.

But now, this despicable fellow has destroyed Oleg's Glory. He killed Queen Angela. Oleg understands how important the two girls in the hall are to His Majesty Alexander. According to the traditions of the Azeroth Continent, as a subject, he has lost all Glory for failing to protect the two girls. In his view, losing Glory means losing everything, and he is no longer a good person.

Therefore, he wanted to die together with the murderer in front of him.

"Attack him together, kill him, don't worry about me..." Oleg shouted maniacally.

The others, including the weakest Bronze Saint, roared like wild beasts, their eyes bloodshot, and they swarmed around like madmen.

The frenzied, fearless display of the Chambord City's experts filled Doni with an overwhelming sense of terror. These insignificant figures, whom he had previously regarded as mere insects to be easily crushed, now gave him an illusion of invincibility. Suddenly, in that instant, Doni began to regret his actions. He regretted not heeding his master's ( the Snow Mountain Hermit's ) instructions and insisting on taking matters into his own hands to retaliate against the King of Chambord. He regretted even more that he shouldn't have provoked the King of Chambord in the first place. He should have stayed obediently on the Great Snow Mountain and been his own Little Overlord. If only none of this had happened.

call out!

A crimson flame, carrying boundless heat, shot down from the sky.

The extremely familiar aura belonged to the red-robed man, the [ Snow Mountain Hermit ].

"It's Master... Master, I'm here, save me, please save me..." Doni was completely terrified by the ferocity of his opponents. In fact, with his strength at the Low-Tier New Moon Class, it would have been very easy for him to break free and escape. Unfortunately, like a flower in a greenhouse, he had been terrified by his fierce and crazy opponents. His body was limp and powerless to struggle, and he had lost the most basic reaction ability of a martial arts expert, turning into a pitiful wretch.

boom!

[ The Snow Mountain Hermit ] unleashed a powerful palm strike from mid-air.

The immense, Resist heatwave blasted away all the experts from Chambord City.

The man in the red robe was no Doni. His strength far surpassed Doni's, and his combat experience was far superior. With a single palm strike from hundreds of meters away, he easily broke Doni's deadly trap and even knocked out the warden, Oleg. And that was only because he held back, controlling his power to perfection, without killing anyone. If he hadn't been unwilling to deepen his enmity with King of Chambord, this palm strike could have pulverized everyone.

A flash of crimson flame appeared, and [ Snow Mountain Hermit ] grabbed Doni's shoulder, shouting, "Who told you to come here? Do you really want to die? Get out of here!"

They made a move to leave immediately and flee far away.

"Leave? Neither of you are leaving today." A childish but furious voice rang out from the sky.

[ The Snow Mountain Hermit ] was startled. When he looked up, he saw an adorable blond boy of eight or nine years old standing in the void, wearing a strange little black mask. His eyes, which should have been big and watery, were now filled with cold light. They were pitch black, lifeless, and indifferent, like two terrifying abysses that could suck one's soul into them. His body was surrounded by wisps of gray energy fluctuations, exuding great majesty.

"It's you? Didn't you already enter the [ Elemental Gate ] with King of Chambord and the others...? How come you're here?" The [ Snow Mountain Hermit ] was shocked. He clearly saw this strange little boy enter the [ Elemental Gate ], so how did he suddenly reappear here? Could it be... that King of Chambord and the others have returned?

"It was me. You two deserve to die, stay here and bear the wrath of Alexander!"

The voice came from above, but in an instant, the little boy Arthur appeared behind the [ Snow Mountain Hermit ], his pink right hand grabbing out like lightning.

Bang!

[ Snow Mountain Hermit ] was shocked and reacted a beat too slow. In his haste, he countered with a palm strike. But as soon as his hands met, a huge suction force suddenly emerged from his opponent's palms. Then, a strange and incomparably cold power surged into his body through those hands, shattering his Flame-Element Dou Qi like a devastating blow, and instantly numbing half of his body.

"This is... the Undead Death Energy? You are..." [ Snow Mountain Hermit ] was utterly shocked, his soul almost leaving his body. Looking down, he saw that what was touching his palm was no longer the tender hand of a child, but a sharp claw with three fingers and bones. The dark gray bone gleamed with a cold light. This was clearly the claw of an ancient undead dragon.

"You know too late." To subdue this formidable opponent, the young boy Arthur risked everything and unleashed his Undead Bone Claw once more. A dense Undead Death Energy instantly invaded the unsuspecting and severely injured [ Snow Mountain Hermit ], sealing most of his meridians. Then, his figure shifted like a phantom, striking both [ Snow Mountain Hermit ] and Doni in the back with his palms. The two, utterly horrified, coughed up blood and fainted instantly.

Ding ding!

Two [ God-Deceiving Emblem ] were quickly nailed to the two men's bodies.

These two individuals were possessed by Undead Magic, their bodies radiating Undead Death Energy, making them easily detectable. The [ God-Deceiving Emblem ] was applied to conceal this Death Energy, preventing the Church from finding them. Arthur did not kill them, intending to deal with them when Sun Fei returned.

"Quickly go check inside the flames, perhaps Her Highness the Queen is still alive..." The heavily injured Lampard saw the little boy suddenly appear and capture two enemies, and guessed that the little guy was one of his own. He shouted loudly, only someone with Arthur's strength could penetrate the terrible flames to search.

"No need, I'll do it myself." A furious shout filled with terrifying killing intent came from the distant sky. A flash of silver light appeared, and a tall and handsome figure appeared before everyone. He threw down the two people he was carrying and, without pausing, his figure disappeared into the flames that soared into the sky from the distant crater.

It was King of Chambord Alexander.

First update today.

Yesterday I was messing with the wireless router and it crashed my computer. I couldn't fix it until midnight, so I couldn't update. This morning I took it to a computer repairman, and he just fixed it. Sorry guys.

On the first day of the May Day holiday, I started writing at seven in the morning, and this is how I ended up so frustrated. I'm speechless. Please forgive me.

Let's chat about gaining followers.
