847: Gugel Arrives

After the matter of the four spirits divine fruit came to an end, Bai Yuliang left Green Field Town and returned to Xuantian Holy Land.

When he left, Wang Chen took out a portion of the Divine Spring he had collected for nourishing the four spirits divine fruit and asked Bai Yuliang to help collect various juvenile Spirit Beasts or Demonic Beast cubs from the Netherworld through the Xuantian Holy Land.

After all, although Wang Chen was gaining fame in the Netherworld, he definitely couldn't collect them as conveniently as Bai Yuliang or large forces like Xuantian Holy Land. If he relied solely on himself, finding the Spirit Beasts that met his requirements would be entirely up to luck!

"I hope that after resolving the situation in Blade City, when I go to Xuantian Holy Land, Bai Yuliang will have good news for me."

Pondering, Wang Chen ordered Xuanqing Snake King to clean up the battlefield, while he turned his head to look at the shadow of a large tree not far away.

"Your Excellency City Lord, isn't it a bit beneath you, a strong individual like yourself, to hide in the shadows and peek around like this?"

Immediately after completing his upgrade, Wang Chen had detected a subtle fluctuation in that shadow.

This fluctuation was extremely subtle; if he hadn't been so sensitive to Auras, he probably would have missed it.

Judging from this concealment ability that almost fooled him, the only one in the entire Demon Beast Forest who could do this was City Lord Guger of Blade City.

"Your Excellency, as a dignified Human True Lord, to slaughter the people of my Dead Spirit Race like this, isn't that also completely lacking the demeanor of a strong individual!"

Gugor's aged body emerged from the shadow of the large tree, his muddy eyes showing no ripple of emotion.

With nearly ten thousand of his own kind dying before his eyes, there was not a hint of anger in his tone.

Wang Chen looked at Gugor as he walked out. Putting everything else aside, his composure made Wang Chen frown slightly.

This old fellow sure can endure!

"The demeanor of a strong individual is too far off for me; after all, I am still young, and such a thing can be cultivated slowly."

"However, Your Excellency City Lord, you are so old you're almost in your grave, and yet you still have to witness such a scene. I truly can't bear it."

Wang Chen said with a smile.

Hearing his words, the muddiness in Gugor's eyes dissipated, and a hint of anger appeared on his face.

The lives of nearly ten thousand of his kin were nothing to him, but Wang Chen's remark about him being so old he was almost in his grave truly hit a raw nerve!

However, Gugor quickly reined in his anger, still asking slowly like a decrepit old man:

"Your Excellency, you don't seem surprised by my appearance here?"

"I'd very much like to know what gives you such confidence."

"From what I can see, there's still a considerable gap between your strength and mine."

"It seems you can no longer display the same combat power you did that day deep in the Demon Beast Forest."

By the end, although Gugor's speaking pace was still slow, it was clearly laced with undisguised threat.

"Hahaha!"

Wang Chen chuckled, saying nonchalantly:

"Your Excellency City Lord truly has a Wisdom Eye. I'm indeed not surprised by your appearance, after all, my goal was to lure you out."

"As for whether I can unleash the combat power I had that day deep in the Demon Beast Forest, Your Excellency City Lord can try."

Looking at Gugor, Wang Chen beckoned with his hand, an air of nonchalance about him.

Seeing this, Gugor's pupils constricted, and his hunched back instinctively straightened.

He never expected the other party to admit it so openly.

"Hahahahaha!"

"You Humans have an old saying, 'Heroes emerge from youth,' and it seems to be true."

"Your Excellency's courage is indeed extraordinary!"

Gugor dropped his feigned old age, laughed loudly, and then said with a hint of mockery:

"I've come today, and there's nothing you can do to me."

"Moreover, with you here, your two companions who are helping are in a dangerous situation."

"I observe that your two companions' strength is not yet at the ninth rank, and I've sent two subordinates at the Early Stage of the ninth rank to pursue them."

"It seems by luring me here today, you're going to lose both your wife and your soldiers!"

By the end, Gugor stared intently at Wang Chen, hoping to see a hint of panic on that young and handsome face.

But unfortunately, Wang Chen disappointed him.

"Your Excellency City Lord, today my companions will be fine; the only one who will be in trouble is you."

Wang Chen remained unhurried, even flashing a provocative smile at Gugor.

"You..."

Hearing this, Gugor's eyes showed thought.

He couldn't quite guess what Wang Chen was planning.

That day deep in the Demon Beast Forest, he had seen that Wang Chen could unleash combat power comparable to the Middle Stage of the ninth rank, relying on a very profound Combination Skill.

Now, those who could use the Combination Skill with Wang Chen were dispersed in two other locations in the Demon Beast Forest.

Logically, without the ability to unleash Middle Stage ninth-rank combat power, this guy shouldn't be so fearless.

Unless he had some other trump card!

Gugor pondered, and a smile slowly appeared on his aged face:

"Since Your Excellency is so confident, then let's wait and see."

"Let's see if your companions can escape the pursuit, or if my two subordinates can kill them."

"That won't do!"

Wang Chen shook his head, flexing his fingers as he looked at Gugor and said:

"I didn't lure Your Excellency City Lord here for you to watch a show."

"Today, this place will be your burial ground, Your Excellency City Lord!"

"How about it? I even prepared nearly ten thousand Dead Spirits as your burial companions. Isn't that quite a high standard!"

As he spoke, Wang Chen gestured towards the ruins of Night Feather Town behind him.

"Insolent child!"

Hearing this, anger surged in Gugor's eyes, and killing intent rose in his heart.

"You want to bury me here? You should first see if you have the ability!"

"Then I'd like to try!"

Wang Chen clenched his fists, no longer holding back his power. A terrifying Aura erupted, and the surging magic power made him as dazzling as the sun, directly dispelling the darkness within a radius of several miles.

"Your Excellency City Lord, who do you think will die here today?"

As he spoke, Wind's Sorrow appeared in Wang Chen's hand, a faint bloody color flowing on the sword, emitting an incomparably eerie Aura.

"How arrogant. Without your reliance from that day deep in the Demon Beast Forest, you still dare to underestimate me so much?"

"Today, I want to taste if the blood of you, a Human True Lord under thirty, will be even sweeter!"

Gugor sneered, and an equally terrifying, even more astonishing, power Aura erupted from him.

Boom!

Under the oppressive force of the overbearing, almost solidified power Aura, the ground in a wide surrounding area trembled, and the air was so compressed it almost solidified.

At the same time, a long saber appeared in Gugor's hand, and his hunched body straightened at that moment, his entire being returning to his prime, showing no trace of old age.
