Chief Leng’s attack was quite simple. He just let out a palm strike, causing the spatial zone to vibrate. The vibration spread to all directions. The mountains nearby began shaking from the impact as reeds wobbled in the surging sea waves, which might collapse anytime. His intention of releasing this kind of dao pattern was clear—to prevent Jiang Yi from running away.
Chief Li’s attack was more ferocious. He released a treasure which was a seven-floored old tower. Each floor glowed with lights of different colors. The tower grew bigger and bigger in the wind and turned into a giant mountain, crashing down. The tower was several kilometers above the ground. Thus, the mountain that Jiang Yi was in suddenly subsided, the terrible pressure made people’s hearts palpitate with fear. Even a Heaven Monarch Realm martial expert might be smashed to death.
The attack of Brother Dong was rather powerful as well. He used his essence force to congeal a mutated lion beast, which was 30 meters tall and appeared more extraordinary than Chief Li’s tower. Its body appeared to be made of gold and as shiny as metal. Strangely, this mutated beast had two dazzling eyes. Even one look at it caused people to feel flustered and suffocated. The consequence would be unimaginable if it bumped into someone.
Smiling Tiger’s attack was very vicious. He let a series of transparent finger force, which was completely invisible. Only space kept trembling as the finger force passed. It was like a small snake slithering in the spatial zone, ready to tear everything apart.
The attacks of Chief Ying and Brother Hei were very brutal, too. Since everyone had waged the war, obviously, they used their most powerful treasures or dao pattern to ensure that Jiang Yi would be killed by one strike.
Just like what Chief Leng said to them today, there was absolutely no room for negotiation between them and Jiang Yi. The day that Yang dong and Niu Deng became chiefs, they were in the opposite positions.
They only had two choices. They would either leave the Sky Thunder City quietly and find other places to earn merits or wait for Jiang Yi to eat them up slowly until they would all eventually die.
Chief Leng told the rest about selling the thunder stones and promised that Commander Lu Di would strive to become the next City Lord of the Sky Thunder City. Then, they would get rich together. Once they earned enough celestial stones, they would go to the White Dragon City or God Bestowing City to settle there and cultivate.
If they took a step back, dark abyss awaited them; if they took a step forward, their future was bright and boundless. They had been the bullies in the Sky Thunder City for so many years, and no one wanted to see their power, position, and wealth go away. Thus, they must get rid of Jiang Yi!
Chi! Chi!
Six attacks shrouded Jiang Yi like six sickles of the Death God. Jiang Yi still stood erect on the hilltop, but his body swayed left and right with the mountain. His face showed no emotion; neither did he release Fire Cloud Armor, Thunder Fire, or instant shifting.
When the attacks were about to hit him, he suddenly opened his mouth and said, “City Lord, Leng Aotian colludes with Commander Lu Di in selling the celestial stones. These five men are his accomplices. The evidence is conclusive; if you don’t act now, then when?”
“En?”
When Leng Aotian and his group heard Jiang Yi’s words, they all trembled. Instinctively, they looked at the sky… as the sky suddenly turned at this moment. The heaven and earth essence force rapidly gathered to a place and congealed into a face—an old and ugly face of a woman!
Buzz!
The instance that this face appeared, the space in the surroundings seemed to be frozen. Chief Leng’s big hand stopped in mid-air, the wavy oscillations were still visible in the spatial zone. Chief Li’s ancient tower that floated 1,000 meters above Jiang Yi just stopped. The mutated beast congealed by Brother Dong’s essence force stopped in the sky, too. All the attacks stopped; time appeared to be freeze-framed at this moment.
“Lu Ping!”
Time didn’t stop passing; neither did the space freeze. Chief Leng shouted out a name in surprise. Chief Li twitched his mouth. Brother Dong’s stiff face was filled with regret. Chief Ying squinted his eyes. Smiling Tiger could no longer smile. Chief Hei’s face was as dark as coke.
Hoo-Hoo!
On the contrary, Jiang Yi let out a deep sigh of relief. Lu Ping didn’t set him up; she struck at the crucial moment.
That was right, except for the enforcement team, no one in the Lu Clan dared to enter the Thunder Mountains and thunder ridges. This was the rule of the Lu Clan. However, Lu Ping indeed never went in; she was still in the Sky Thunder City. She just used a kind of powerful divine skill to congeal a face from tens of thousands of kilometers away. It was just a special dao pattern!
“Brutal!”
Jiang Yi looked at the face in the sky and was secretly amazed. The ability and combat strength of the peak-stage Heaven Monarch Realm martial expert was really beyond his imagination. When Big Sister Bell told him that Lu Ping would protect him and kill Chief Leng and the rest, he still had some doubts. Now, he had witnessed the power of a peak-stage Heaven Monarch Realm absolute expert by himself.
When the idea that there were martial experts as mighty as Lu Ping among the She Clansmen and Jian Clansmen that pursued him in the Blood Night Fearsome Sea, he considered himself lucky as he was never directly attacked by such martial experts. Otherwise, he would long be smashed into pieces and dead. When he thought of the small cauldron the She Clan worshiped, sweat started to drip from his forehead, drop by drop.
“Leng Aotian, Li Tianyi, Dong Shan, you’ve really got small balls!”
The face in the sky opened its mouth and started talking. Her voice reverberated across the field as loud as thunder. Even people over the other side of the Thunder Mountains could hear her distinctly. Her tone was as cold as the ten-thousand-year glacier. “How dare you traffic thunder stones! Although the number was not big and its lack of concrete evidence, still, even the thought of doing this warrant me—the City Lord of the Sky Thunder City—to execute you on the spot, according to the clan rules.”
“Uh…”
All the martial artists on the other side of the Thunder Mountains were stupefied with fear. Looking at the giant face in a distance that covered half of the sky, immersing in the terrible pressure that as scary as a colossal beast in the primitive age, listening to the icy cold words, everybody felt trembles in the deepest part of their soul.
A lot of people didn’t know who this old and ugly woman was just now, but they all knew her now. She was the mysterious ruler of the Sky Thunder City, the peak-stage Heaven Monarch City Lord.
“It’s all over…”
All the men of Chief Leng, Chief Li, and their groups sighed in their hearts. No matter what Chief Leng and the other lords did, and no matter whether they were really guilty—since Lu Ping went to the trouble of congealing a giant face like this, she would never let this matter go easily.
“No, Lu Ping, you can’t kill me!”
A loud howl burst. Chief Leng in the thunder ridges shouted hysterically, “You have no evidence. If you kill us, you certainly can’t justify yourself to Elder Tang of the Lu Clan. Once Commander Lu Di reports this, you can’t possibly continue to be the City Lord! My lord, as long as you let us go, we promise to leave the Sky Thunder City immediately and never appear in the White Dragon Archipelago ever again.”
“Hehe!”
Jiang Yi suddenly took out a dark red jade talisman which was inscribed with ancient patterns, with a big word ‘SEAL’ in the middle. He held aloft the talisman, smiled, and said, “I’m sorry. Chief Leng, when you spoke about selling the thunder stones in the last part of your speech just now, I recorded and copied that. I can present this to Elder Tang…”
“Seal stone? Lone Wolf, you bastard! You set us up!”
Chief Leng shouted in wrath. Chief Li and the others had their eyes filled with rage and despair. Seal stones could copy the scene that happened. Everything that was going on now could be recorded in the seal stone. The evidence was indisputable. Jiang Yi was vicious. He omitted the front part and just copied down his last few words.
“Humph! How dare you threaten me! Die—!”
The face in the sky became even gloomier. The sky changed again. Heaven and earth essence force converged, and the giant face instantly turned into an exceedingly big hand, slamming down like a black cloud.
Boom!
A terribly loud thunder roared. The entire Sky Thunder Island shook slightly. Ten Thunder Mountains trembled as well. Those mountains that Chief Leng and his group were at were completely smashed to ashes, and their attacks dissipated, too.
Clouds of smoke surged to the sky and permeated to cast half of the sky. The deafening crash echoed over the entire Sky Thunder Island, lingering for a long time.
