142: Late arrival, Grandmaster

"The might of a Grandmaster!"

Zhang Nanbo and Chen Anmin exchanged a glance.

In each other's eyes, they both saw an indescribable shock.

This was a terrifying pressure that could only be exuded by a Grandmaster!

Furthermore, the owner of this arm could be considered a top-tier powerhouse, even among Grandmasters!

Otherwise, it would not be enough to rely solely on pressure.

To make them, two six-star Peak Martial Masters who were only one step away from advancing to Grandmaster, unable to even conjure the thought of resistance.

Before this arm, they were as insignificant as ants!

Li Canglan's strength was even less worth mentioning before this arm.

His heart pounded wildly.

The instinct for survival urged him to flee.

But he knew that even moving his legs would be as difficult as ascending to heaven!

"Is this the strength of a Grandmaster?"

Could a mere arm plunge Luofeng City into a crisis on the verge of destruction?

This was something even a Peak Martial Master could never achieve.

Every citizen watching the crack in the sky through the official live stream.

Was filled with despair.

"This isn't the sky collapsing; the sky itself is splitting open."

Facing the Black Scaled Flood Dragon, the City Lord and the Demon Suppression Envoy had only barely managed to defeat it.

With an even more terrifying enemy appearing, could they... still win?

That towering arm was carved with many eerie patterns.

At first glance, it looked like various legendary spirits and ghosts.

Just looking at it made one's scalp tingle.

After a brief pause, the hideous arm tore through the air, reaching toward Li Canglan and the others on the ground.

Hearing the sonic boom of it tearing through the air, Zhang Nanbo's expression changed drastically.

"Old Chen, take Young Friend Li and leave!"

After pushing Li Canglan toward Chen Anmin, it was as if a shackle on Zhang Nanbo had been broken.

His aura suddenly climbed, vaguely reaching the Grandmaster Realm!

Zhang Nanbo tapped his toes, and with all his might, smashed his staff toward the arm!

Chen Anmin did not linger; he grabbed Li Canglan and fled the scene at top speed.

Bang!

A heavy impact sound suddenly rang out.

The ground within a hundred-meter radius cracked like a spiderweb.

Zhang Nanbo's arm went numb, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and was sent flying backward by the shock.

Yet the arm showed no signs of injury; it had merely been hindered for a moment.

It then continued to reach down.

Just then, a voice filled with dignity came from the horizon.

"Die, monster!"

As the voice fell, a Martial Artist exuding a stern golden radiance swept over from the horizon.

Within a few breaths, he appeared on the scene.

This golden Martial Artist extended an arm, grabbing toward the hideous arm.

The size difference between the two was more than a hundredfold!

Yet this arm was forcefully blocked by the divine figure.

The dust kicked up by the shockwave obscured the vision within a thousand-meter radius.

Making it impossible for the onlookers, Chen Anmin and the others, to see what was happening inside.

But they could see that the base of the arm seemed to have stopped moving.

From the crack in the sky, a slight sound of confusion emerged.

"A tiny satellite city, and yet someone can block my attack?"

It was like rolling demonic sounds entering their ears, causing all the citizens who heard it to feel their blood and Qi surge, filled with horror.

The golden Martial Artist sneered,

"Crossing the boundary barrier, the strength you can exert is not even one in a hundred!"

"Today, I shall leave your arm behind as punishment for invading our Human Race!"

As the voice fell, the golden Martial Artist's body suddenly expanded.

Within a few breaths, it expanded to over a Zhang tall!

Just like a golden statue in a temple, his Divine Might manifested naturally!

Although compared to the hideous arm, he still appeared somewhat small.

His strength, however, was even greater!

"Wanting to keep this General's arm isn't as simple as you imagine."

The owner of the arm chuckled, and began a great battle with the golden Martial Artist.

Zhang Nanbo endured his injuries, and together with Chen Anmin and Li Canglan, quickly left the battlefield to rest in the shelter.

A battle between Grandmasters, if not careful, would flatten the entire vast Luofeng City!

Even for Peak Martial Masters like Zhang Nanbo and Chen Anmin.

They dared not rashly withstand the aftermath of a Grandmaster battle.

The shelter was built underground with sturdy defenses.

If far enough away, it could withstand the fluctuations of a Grandmaster battle.

On the way, Li Canglan looked curiously at Zhang Nanbo,

"City Lord, who was that just now?"

"That is Grandmaster Lin Jiaming of Hanghai Base City, an eight-star Grandmaster!"

Mentioning Lin Jiaming's name, Zhang Nanbo's eyes held a faint glimmer of excitement.

This Great Grandmaster was someone who could withstand an eight-star Demonic Beast, the Red Scaled Dragon, while at the seven-star Grandmaster Realm!

Listening to what the owner of the arm said.

The owner of the arm must be a Demon General, one rank below a Marquis.

But its strength likely already reached the nine-star Great Grandmaster Realm!

Only an eight-star Grandmaster like Lin Jiaming could contend with it.

Any eight-star Grandmaster with a slightly weaker Physical Body might not necessarily be able to block it.

"Lin Jiaming..."

Li Canglan silently murmured Lin Jiaming's name twice in his heart.

For some reason, when he saw the other party's Physical Body amplify just now.

The aura he felt was somewhat similar to the Giant Spirit Sky-Breaking Force.

Perhaps there might be some connection between the two.

The battle momentum between Lin Jiaming and the hideous arm was astonishing.

As soon as the battle began, it destroyed all the surveillance and cameras in the vicinity that could view the fight.

The citizens in the shelter were all sweating, hoping Grandmaster Lin Jiaming could win.

After entering the shelter.

Immediately, a Martial Artist skilled in healing from the Martial Artist hospital came to treat Zhang Nanbo's wounds.

"City Lord, your body..."

It was fine until they checked; upon checking, the Martial Artist physician's face immediately turned pale with fright.

These injuries were too tragic!

"It's nothing, just a bit of overexertion."

Zhang Nanbo cut off the other party's words.

In the battle just now, he had used a forbidden technique that only the lords of major districts could learn.

Which meant he had completely overdrawn his potential and body.

After this battle ended, not only was there no hope for him to advance to Grandmaster.

But he wouldn't even be able to keep his original Peak Martial Master strength.

But at this moment, for the sake of public stability, he could not let the physician reveal this truth.

About half an hour later.

The sounds of battle slowly faded, and the outside world quieted down.

"Has it... won... or lost?"

"Stop your damn jinxing! If it weren't for your foul mouth earlier, how would this monster have come?"

"Damn, you're blaming me? If my mouth were that useful, I'd say I'll be a nine-star Great Grandmaster tomorrow!"

"Hehe, can't you even dream big? Wouldn't it be better to just brag that you're a Marquis?"

In the shelter, Li Canglan finally had time to send a message to Uncle He, Zhang Ganchao, and the others.

After confirming they were all safe, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In the shelter, seeing some restless people about to start arguing again.

Lin Jiaming's clear voice spread throughout the entire Luofeng City.

"The monster is dead!"

These four simple words caused the hundreds of thousands of surviving citizens to immediately erupt in celebration.
