Chapter 1154 City Guards Assemble

The powerful aura emanating from the two swept across the gates of Extinction City like a hurricane, eliciting gasps of surprise from the onlookers.

Some people clenched their fists so tightly that their nails almost dug into their palms.

Some people stood on tiptoe and craned their necks, their eyes filled with unbelievable fervor.

Some people even instinctively took several steps back, afraid of being caught in the aftershocks of the fight.

Everyone could see clearly that the combat power displayed by these two young girls had already broken through the shackles of realm, like two peerless sharp blades hidden in their sheaths.

Once drawn, its sharpness is fully revealed.

This is absolutely not normal!

Keep in mind that they were facing over fifty well-trained and well-equipped city guards.

But at this moment, these soldiers, who should have been majestic and imposing, were being played around by the two like headless flies.

Some were blasted away, crashing into the city wall and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Some, clutching broken spears, slumped to the ground, trembling.

Others tried to ambush from behind, but were knocked over by a shockwave and didn't even have the strength to get up.

This sight was simply unbelievable to everyone!

While many were amazed, others secretly shook their heads.

So what if they are powerful right now?

These city guards were just a drop in the ocean compared to the forces of Jinmie City.

As the commotion here grows louder, more powerful figures will surely follow the aura from the depths of that majestic city, and then these two girls will likely have no chance of escape.

The tall general riding on the back of the blue-scaled beast had a face so dark it could drip water.

He watched helplessly as his subordinates died or were wounded, some lying lifeless in pools of blood, others clutching their broken legs and howling in pain. The anger in his chest was instantly ignited, erupting like a volcano.

"Such outrageous behavior in the City of Ashes is a capital offense!!!"

The roar was like a thunderclap, and the general's aura surged dramatically.

Immortal power at the late stage of the Divine Emperor realm surged forth from his body, transforming into visible white energy that swirled and coiled around him.

This force grew stronger and stronger, eventually soaring into the sky, causing the heavens and earth to tremble slightly. The air currents condensed and shaped in the air, transforming into a white dragon tens of feet long.

The dragon's scales and claws were clearly defined, and each scale shimmered with a cold luster in the sunlight, with even the fine lines along the edges of the scales clearly visible.

It raised its head and let out a deafening roar, its voice filled with awe-inspiring majesty, as if it had truly come to life!

"Roar!!!"

The white dragon suddenly turned its head in the sky and swooped down with a whooshing sound that tore through the air.

Its enormous body blotted out the sky, casting a shadow that completely enveloped Xie Purou.

The sheer force of its descent was enough to make the onlookers gasp for breath.

Many people with lower cultivation levels were forced to kneel on the ground, too weak to even lift their heads.

After all, this was a full-force attack from a late-stage Divine Emperor, enough to easily destroy many people!

Everyone present was shocked, marveling at the terrifying strength of the general of Jinmie City. They looked at Xie Purou with pity, feeling that she would surely be crushed to pieces by this attack.

But the moment Bai Long locked onto her, Xie Priu showed no fear whatsoever; instead, a fierce fighting spirit ignited in her eyes. She tilted her head back and shouted excitedly, "Well done!!!"

Before she finished speaking, her red lightning armor suddenly lit up, and streaks of red lightning pulsed wildly as if they were alive, crackling incessantly.

Lightning crackled across the surface of the armor, outlining its intricate patterns. A power comparable to that of a late-stage Divine Emperor erupted from her body, intertwining with the lightning and enveloping her in a dazzling red light.

"Thunder Dragon Break!!!"

Xie Purou shouted again, her voice full of determination. She pushed off the ground with both feet, her body instantly soaring into the air, and she used all her strength to strike upwards with her palm.

The red lightning on her body moved accordingly, gathering in her palm like a tide, and quickly condensing into a ferocious red lightning dragon.

The Thunder Dragon was slightly smaller than the White Dragon, but the lightning around it was even more violent.

Its horns were as sharp as knives, and its claws crackled with electricity. It let out a roar even more domineering than the white dragon's, carrying an aura of destruction, and charged fiercely at the white dragon as it swooped down!

"Boom!!!"

A deafening roar echoed through the heavens and earth as the red lightning dragon and the white giant dragon collided violently in mid-air.

The two forces erupted instantly, forming a visible energy shockwave that spread outwards, creating spiderweb-like cracks in the ground.

The onlookers were thrown by the shockwave and only stopped after crashing into the city wall in the distance.

In mid-air, the power of the Thunder Dragon and the power of the White Dragon clashed, devoured, and obliterated each other.

The white fairy power attempted to envelop the thunder dragon, melting it away bit by bit.

The red lightning, like the sharpest blade, continuously tore through the white immortal energy, emitting a sizzling burning sound.

The two forces were locked in a stalemate, neither willing to back down an inch.

Everyone watching was terrified.

It's important to understand that on one side was a full-force attack from a true late-stage God-Emperor, while on the other side was a move unleashed by Xie Purou, a mid-stage God-King, using lightning.

The difference in their cultivation levels was so vast that, under normal circumstances, no one would think Xie Purou had any chance of winning. In fact, they thought the red thunder dragon would be instantly crushed by the white dragon without even a chance to fight back.

But the truth is quite the opposite!

The once mighty white dragon's scales began to shatter the moment it came into contact with the red lightning, and its white immortal power melted away as quickly as ice and snow encountering raging fire.

The crimson lightning, carrying extreme destructive power, frantically destroyed the white dragon's body. In just one exchange, the white dragon let out a shrill wail, and its massive body began to disintegrate and dissipate.

In the blink of an eye, the white dragon was completely destroyed by Xie Purou's "Thunder Dragon Strike".

Only the red lightning crackled in mid-air, releasing a terrifying aura of destruction, and the red sparks continued to flash, as if proclaiming victory.

Everyone was stunned by what they saw. The scene was completely silent, and even breathing seemed to stop.

They originally thought that Xie Purou had already exhausted her ability to manipulate the city guards by using the power of her armor, and that she would be powerless against the full force of a late-stage Divine Emperor.

But who would have thought that she would gain the upper hand in their first encounter!

The general of Ash City was also taken aback, his face filled with disbelief.

He hadn't underestimated his opponent at all; he unleashed his strongest move right from the start, a strike that was enough to easily kill a mid-stage God Emperor.

He had thought that even if Xie Purou's armor was incredibly effective, it would at most only barely stop him, and he would at least be seriously injured.

But to his utter surprise, not only was his opponent unharmed, but he himself was put at a disadvantage in the very first move!

"How can it be?!"

The general couldn't help but let out a gasp, his voice filled with shock and resentment.

"Is that all the strength you have? Not enough!!!"

Xie Purou, clad in red armor, floated in mid-air, her body wreathed in astonishing red lightning, each bolt leaving a faint scorch mark in the air.

Her hair was slightly ruffled by the lightning, and her eyes, sharp as an eagle's, were fixed on the general opposite her.

The power of the Nine Tribulations Divine Thunder was already filled with destructive intent, and now, under her urging, it displayed this destructive power to the fullest extent.

People around felt a strong destructive force from the thunder, and many instinctively stepped back, afraid of being hit by the lightning.

"What kind of lightning is this? It's definitely not ordinary lightning!!!"

A cultivator was pale-faced and his voice was trembling.

"What a terrifying aura! It's filled with the smell of destruction, like a true divine punishment; just looking at it sends chills down your spine!!!"

echoed another.

"If we were at the same cultivation level, I probably wouldn't even be able to get close. The moment I touched this lightning, I would instantly turn to ashes!!!"

"This is truly an overwhelmingly domineering power; it seems designed solely for destruction!!!"

The crowd murmured amongst themselves, their eyes filled with awe as they looked at Xie Purou.

They had seen many cultivators who practiced lightning magic and had witnessed various kinds of lightning. While those lightning bolts were indeed powerful and destructive, they were nothing compared to Xie Purou's red lightning.

This thunderous power could instill fear in people from the bottom of their hearts, as if they were facing not a cultivator, but an impending heavenly tribulation.

Of course, among the powerful figures present were many knowledgeable individuals.

Someone looked at the unique red lightning on Xie Purou's body, a knowing look flashing in their eyes, as if they had realized something.

"It's said that those with the Nine Tribulations Immortal Body are born with the ability to control a type of lightning called the Nine Tribulations Divine Lightning! This lightning is specifically designed for destruction! I think she really does resemble a Nine Tribulations Immortal Body!!!"

An elderly man with gray hair, sensing the destructive aura in the air, spoke with a serious expression.

The powerful figures nearby were surprised to hear this and began whispering among themselves.

"Nine Tribulations Immortal Body? That's a legendary, extremely rare physique. I never imagined I'd actually see it with my own eyes today!!!"

"This girl actually possesses the Nine Tribulations Immortal Physique? No wonder she's so powerful! I've heard that the Nine Tribulations Divine Lightning is virtually invincible among those of the same level; any enemy who touches it will die instantly!!!"

"Look at her lightning, its power is so domineering, it must be the Nine Tribulations Divine Lightning!!!"

"But why would she go against the City of Extinction? Even if she has a Nine Tribulation Immortal Physique, facing a force as powerful as the City of Extinction is absolutely certain death!!!"

"Perhaps she's too confident. As a Nine Tribulation Immortal Body, it's normal to have such confidence, but her confidence is excessive; she's practically courting death!!!"

While everyone was amazed by Xie Purou's powerful physique, they also felt sorry for her situation.

With such exceptional talent as the Nine Tribulations Immortal Body, if she could focus on cultivation, her future would surely be limitless. Yet she insisted on provoking Jinmie City. Wasn't she just courting death?

Is such a talented person destined to perish here?

Hearing the surrounding discussions, the general from Jinmie City's face grew even more grim. He stared intently at Xie Purou, his tone as cold as ice: "Nine Tribulations Immortal Body? Truly living up to its name. It's a pity, though, that you will ultimately become a corpse!!!"

He was indeed slightly at a disadvantage just now, but he didn't panic.

The entire City of Ashes is teeming with powerful individuals; he is not the only general there.

The commotion here has already spread, and it won't be long before more powerful figures arrive.

Even the most brilliant genius can't withstand a relentless human wave tactic!

Sure enough, not long after the two finished their first exchange, more than a dozen powerful auras erupted from the depths of Ember City, like more than a dozen pillars of light shooting into the sky, rapidly approaching the city gate.

Among these auras, many had reached the late stage of the God Emperor realm, some were mid-stage God Emperor squad leaders, and many were ordinary soldiers at the God King realm.

This time, the arriving team numbered several hundred people. The densely packed figures poured out of the city, completely surrounding the city gate. This spectacle alone was enough to inspire fear.

Even so, compared to the enormous City of Ashes, this team was still just a drop in the ocean.

"Who dares to be so audacious as to cause trouble in the City of Ashes?!"

A burly man, over twenty meters tall, walked at the very front of the group.

He was shirtless, his bronze skin covered with hideous scars, every muscle bulging as if cast in steel, its lines distinct, rising and falling slightly with his breath.

He glared at Xie Purou and You Ruo at the city gate like an angry Vajra, his voice booming like a bell, making the surrounding air tremble, his imposing aura was overwhelming!

Beside him stood a dozen or so powerful late-stage Divine Emperor realm experts, each radiating a chilling killing intent, their eyes fixed on Xie Purou and You Ruo. "Huh? A Nine Tribulation Immortal Body? Tsk tsk, I never expected to encounter one here!!"

In the crowd, a thin man suddenly spoke up, his eyes lighting up as if he had seen a rare treasure.

Purple lightning pulsed in his palm, slowly coalescing into a fist-sized ball of lightning. The surface of the ball crackled with electricity, emanating a faint aura of destruction.

As a cultivator who had practiced lightning magic for many years, his perception of lightning was several times more acute than that of ordinary people, and he recognized the Nine Tribulations Divine Lightning on Xie Purou at a glance.

If one can absorb the Nine Tribulations Immortal Body essence from this girl and use her lightning for one's own benefit, one's physique will definitely be greatly improved, and one may even be able to master the true Nine Tribulations Divine Lightning!

At that time, breaking through to the peak of the God Emperor will be a piece of cake, and there might even be a chance to touch the threshold of the Chaos Saint Emperor!

At this thought, the greed in the skinny man's heart grew wildly like weeds. His eyes were filled with naked desire as he looked at Xie Purou, wishing he could rush up and kill her immediately to seize her source.

"According to city regulations, execution is the only punishment, no further explanation needed!!!"

The tall, burly man let out a cold snort, his tone full of impatience.

Too lazy to waste words, he clenched his fist and slammed it down hard at Xie Purou.

This punch was not mixed with any immortal power, relying entirely on the strength of the physical body. However, when the fist was swung, it was accompanied by a whistling sound, and the air was compressed by the fist wind, making a "whooshing" sound.
