Silence. Dead silence.
The silence endured for more than more than five minutes. The city walls fell into complete silence. Everyone’s gaze was on Qingfeng Li, and their faces in utter shock.
They couldn’t believe that Qingfeng Li had actually killed three of the most powerful half-step spirit monarch realm masters.
Plus, the three men were incredibly famous, with the White Hair Devil ranking number 45 on the Devil Rankings.
The other two men were also masters ranking in the top 200s of the Spirit Emperor List.
But now, with all three men combined, they were still not enough to defeat Qingfeng Li. On top of that, Qingfeng Li had previously killed the Demonic Sky Elephant. In total, Qingfeng Li had just killed four half-step spirit monarch realm masters.
Qingfeng Li was still as alive as ever, without a trace of injury or exhaustion.
On top of the eastern city wall, Ya Lin, the vice city lord’s expression was dark as could be, gloomy as if a violent hurricane was about to strike.
Ya Lin had asked Qingfeng Li to release the White Hair Devil. He didn’t expect that Qingfeng Li would disobey him, killing the White Hair Devil in front of everyone. This was utter disrespect. What would the others think of him?
Suddenly, Ya Lin launched himself into the air, his body leaving behind a ray of energy as if it were a gust of wind, arriving before Qingfeng Li instantly. He said coldly, “You need to be punished. How dare you disobey my orders?!”
With furrowed brows, Qingfeng Li roared, “Get out of my face!”
Qingfeng Li despised Ya Lin. It was because of him that the White Hair Devil and the others had attacked Qingfeng.
If it hadn’t been his breakthrough to the half-step spirit monarch realm, Qingfeng Li would’ve died for sure. Towards the vice city lord who had instigated the entire battle, Qingfeng Li was naturally nothing less of hateful.
Ya Lin’s face twisted in rage from Qingfeng Li’s disrespect. The latter was even worse than before.
Ya Lin’s anger turned into a sudden fit of laughter. He said mockingly, “Qingfeng Li, you are amazing you know that? No one dares to talk to me like this. I will end you today!”
“Do you think I’m afraid of you?! Give me all you’ve got. I don’t mind killing another person!” Qingfeng Li said coldly, completely unfazed by Ya Lin’s presence.
At the sight of the vice city lord, the once peaceful city wall was now in chaos. The crowd erupted into chatter, shocked by the man’s arrival.
“What’s wrong with Ya Lin? Why is he fighting Qingfeng Li when there is a Demonic Beast wave invading Emerald Lake City?!”
“You’re right! Our biggest enemy is the Devilish wave. Once the demonic beasts enter into the city, all of the self-cultivators will die.”
“I used to admire Ya Lin. I thought that he was a famous second stage master of the spirit monarch realm! How could he be such a coward?”
“Exactly! From now on, Ya Lin is no longer my idol. I despise him.”
More than a dozen self-cultivators all pointed towards Ya Lin, their voices and gazes filled with disdain.
Although Ya Lin was incredibly powerful and famous, the surrounding self-cultivators were still disappointed by his actions.
Ya Lin had obviously heard the crowd’s comments, enraging him. He suddenly turned around and roared, “Shut your mouths! Do you all want to die?!”
The talking self-cultivators all shut their mouths immediately, hiding away from Ya Lin’s sight.
Although they didn’t like Ya Lin, no one was about to stand up to him. After all, they were no match for him and would die if Ya Lin attacked them.
However, in their hearts, these self-cultivators already had enough of Ya Lin, almost wishing that Qingfeng Li would kill him. They knew, however, that Qingfeng Li was only a half-step spirit monarch realm master. He would have no chance at defeating Ya Lin.
Ya Lin suddenly swung out his fist, turning it into a thousand feet long massive vital essence fist. The fist radiated a black light as if it were a giant rock or a mountain.
Qingfeng Li furrowed his brows as he sensed danger from Ya Lin’s fist. The energy seemed stronger than his own.
Qingfeng Li wanted to find out just how strong a second stage spirit monarch realm master was.
He immediately swung out his right fist, smashing it onto Ya Lin’s fist, sounding out a loud boom, bursting open the surrounding air, leaving behind a massive hole in the atmosphere.
Deng Deng!!
Qingfeng Li was forced back a couple of steps. He looked utterly shocked, sensing a numbness in his arms from the massive push from Ya Lin.
Ya Lin looked amazed as he said, “You defended against my second stage spirit monarch realm fist?!”
Ya Lin had used his vital essence in an effort to finish off Qingfeng Li with one blow, thinking that he would injure him greatly if not kill him. Qingfeng Li’s unscathed condition was well beyond Ya Lin’s expectations.
Ya Lin was, after all, two small realms higher than Qingfeng Li.
The self-cultivators standing atop the city walls all looked stunned. They were sure that Ya Lin would defeat Qingfeng Li with ease, but the fact was that the latter had only retreated two steps back. Qingfeng Li’s strength blew their minds.
Everyone had realized that Qingfeng Li’s offensive skills were truly incredible. He was much stronger than he seemed.
Ya Lin took a step forward, his foot creating a massive hole in the ground instantly. Just as he was about to attack Qingfeng Li, a stern voice sounded in the air.
“Ya Lin, as the vice city lord of Emerald Lake City, your main responsibility is to defend against the demonic beast waves, not attack other self-cultivators. Stop at once!” The majestic voice was both dominant and stern.
At the sound of the voice, Ya Lin’s expression shifted as he quickly put away his anger and unclenched his fists. He took two steps back, no longer attacking Qingfeng Li.
With both his hands clasped before him, he bowed down in the direction of the voice. He said, “City Lord, what are your commands?”
The sight startled Qingfeng Li. He didn’t expect for the man to be the City Lord of Emerald Lake City.
He had never met the City Lord ever since he first stepped into the Emerald Lake City. He had only heard of a powerful spirit monarch realm third stage master. The man was formidable as could be and he was from a middle tier dynasty.
The majestic voice continued, “Ya Lin, stop attacking Qingfeng Li. Go and kill the demonic beasts and send the demonic beast wave into retreat. Afterward, come to the City Lord Prefecture. I have things I need you to do.”
Ya Lin nodded his head as he looked at Qingfeng Li coldly. He said, “For the sake of the City Lord, I will let you go today. We’ll finish this later.”
