Chapter 1910 - Execution Guard

Translator: Legge 

Xu Shi stood at the entrance of the hall and released his spirit consciousness to scan his surroundings a few times, but he did not discover anything unusual.

Liu Tong was the only one in the hall.

Xu Shi calmed down and led the way into the hall.

Su Zimo was also scanning his surroundings. Even with his spirit perception, he did not sense any danger.

"Where are the others?"

Xu Shi looked at Liu Tong and asked straightforwardly.

"Sit,"

Liu Tong did not get up and was still sitting in the middle. He pointed to the side and said with a fake smile.

Under normal circumstances, even if the banquet was held in Liu Tong's residence, given their status, Xu Shi should be the one sitting at the main seat.

But now, not only did Liu Tong not stand up to give way, he even pointed to the guest seats at the side for Xu Shi to take a seat. This had already broken the rules.

"You…"

Xu Xiaotian was furious and could not hold it in any longer. Just as he was about to speak, Xu Shi pushed him back.

Xu Shi had a calm expression and was not annoyed. He beckoned for Xu Xiaotian and Su Zimo to sit down at the guest seats.

"Speak, why are you looking for me?"

Xu Shi went straight to the point.

"Alright, I won't beat around the bush either,"

Liu Tong smiled. "I called you guys here today for two reasons. First, to kill Su Zimo!"

At that point, Liu Tong paused for a moment and looked at the expressions of Xu Shi and the other two.

Xu Shi and Su Zimo's expressions were unchanged. Xu Xiaotian was the only one with a maddened glare.

The smile in Liu Tong's eyes intensified as he continued, "Second, you've been the City Lord for so long. It's time for you to give up your position."

Xu Shi chuckled and asked, "To whom? You?"

"Yes, of course!"

Liu Tong stood up and spread his arms proudly. "On the Dragon Abyss Star, I'm the only one qualified to be the City Lord in terms of background and combat strength!"

"Xu Shi, even if you cultivate to a Grade 9 Black Immortal, you'll only be someone from the lower world. You'll never be able to get rid of your status as a lowlife!"

"You're not qualified to challenge me!"

Xu Shi stood up slowly as well, emitting an extremely sharp aura as he glared at Liu Tong with an unfriendly expression.

Su Zimo watched coldly from the sidelines.

Prior to this, Xu Shi and Liu Tong had a tacit understanding and did not fall out.

But now that Liu Tong invited Xu Shi over and took the initiative to talk about this matter, he must have prepared something!

"Don't be nervous,"

Liu Tong said with a smile, "Xu Shi, I'm only giving you this chance because we've known each other for so many years. You have to consider it carefully."

"If you take the initiative to withdraw, you might be able to save your family's lives. If you persist in your obstinacy and refuse to abdicate, don't blame me for being merciless and killing you!"

"Oh?"

Suddenly, Xu Shi's aura rose as though he had broken through some shackles and surged to another level. He said slowly, "Let's see how you're going to kill me!"

Earth Immortal!

Furthermore, he was a Grade 2 Earth Immortal!

Su Zimo nodded to himself.

It was no wonder why Xu Shi was the City Lord—he had hidden himself so well.

Judging from Liu Tong and Xu Xiaotian's surprise, no one in Dragon Abyss City knew Xu Shi's true cultivation.

It was no wonder why Xu Shi was fearless and dared to attend Liu Tong's banquet.

However, what made Su Zimo uneasy was that apart from the initial surprise, there was no fear in Liu Tong's reaction.

Liu Tong shook his head and looked at Xu Shi with pity. "This is the path you chose. Don't blame me,"

He retreated as he said that.

Suddenly!

Su Zimo's heart skipped a beat. As though he sensed something, he turned around and looked behind him.

Unknowingly, someone had appeared at the entrance of the hall!

Even with his spirit perception, he did not notice when that person appeared!

It was a middle-aged man with a tall and straight figure. Standing at the entrance of the hall, he was like a door god and emitted an extremely terrifying aura that sealed all escape routes!

Earth Immortal!

The middle-aged man was also an Earth Immortal.

Furthermore, the aura released by this person was clearly much stronger than Xu Shi!

Xu Shi's attention was initially on Liu Tong. At that moment, he realized something and turned around.

When he saw the middle-aged man, Xu Shi's pupils constricted. He scanned with his spirit consciousness and his expression changed as he exclaimed softly, "Grade 7 Earth Immortal!"

"Senior brother, thankfully, you're here. I'll leave Xu Shi to you."

Liu Tong said with a smile.

Xu Shi's expression was terrible.

He knew that Liu Tong had a senior brother who was an Earth Immortal expert.

However, he had not expected that the Earth Immortal expert's grade would be so high that it was at Grade 7!

Su Zimo had a grim expression as well.

The power of a Grade 7 Earth Immortal was far beyond what he could endure.

And now, the two sacred beast souls on the walls of the Bronze Square Tripod had already exhausted their powers and fell asleep.

Among his methods, there were few that could threaten Earth Immortals, let alone Grade 7 Earth Immortals!

Xu Shi calmed down rapidly and took out a jade badge from his storage bag with the words 'Dragon Abyss' written on it.

"I have a Dragon Abyss Badge personally issued by the Green Cloud County Governor!"

Xu Shi said in a deep voice, "As long as I crush the Dragon Abyss Badge, I can spread the news of this place to the County Governor! At that time, the two of you will be hunted down by the immortal soldiers of Green Cloud County, let alone become the City Lord of Dragon Abyss City!"

"These days, even the lowlifes are so arrogant,"

The middle-aged man had his hands behind his back and raised his head slightly with a haughty expression. Right from the beginning, he had not looked at Su Zimo and the other two directly.

"You can try crushing it,"

The middle-aged man had a mocking expression, as though he did not care.

Xu Shi gripped the Dragon Abyss Badge tightly with a nervous expression. "Although you're a Grade 7 Earth Immortal, there's nowhere for you in the entire Great Jin Immortal Kingdom if you're hunted by the Execution Guards!"

"Have you seen the Execution Guards?"

The middle-aged man asked with a fake smile.

"So what if I have? So what if I haven't?"

Xu Shi was still in a stand-off with the middle-aged man and his tone was not weak.

"I'll let you die in peace today,"

The middle-aged man smiled faintly and slapped his storage bag, retrieving a pitch-black armor to wear.

The armor looked extremely heavy, as though it was made from countless metal feathers. It was tight and detailed, filled with a malevolent aura and shone with a divine light!

Xu Shi's expression changed starkly and his face turned pale from fright, as though he had lost his soul.

Even when he sensed that the middle-aged man was a Grade 7 Earth Immortal, Xu Shi did not experience such a change.

Su Zimo did not understand why Xu Shi's fighting spirit dissipated at the sight of an armor as though he had seen a ghost!

"Black Gold… Feather Armor, Execution Guard!"

Xu Shi's lips trembled slightly as he said a few words.

Clang!

The middle-aged man withdrew the saber that was hanging on his waist and a chilling aura spread out, causing the temperature in the hall to dip.

Even Su Zimo could not help but shudder.

The saber shone coldly with a sinister blood qi. On both sides of the saber were words respectively—Punishment and Death!
