324: Lord of the Desolate City, Imperial Decree

A cold shout erupted, causing the music of strings and pipes in the Wine Pool and Meat Forest to abruptly cease.

A tall, straight figure like an ancient pine tree strode in from outside, his steps steady and firm.

With each step he took, it seemed as if a thousand pounds of force landed, causing the entire courtyard to tremble slightly.

It was Qin Wushang!

Clad in fluttering white robes, his face stern, his gaze sharp as cold stars, he swept over the extravagant scene in the hall.

"How dare you!"

"Who dares to intrude into the City Lord's Mansion? Are you seeking death?"

Several angry shouts rang out simultaneously. The experts stationed there abruptly rose, Sacred Power surging around them. A terrifying pressure capable of crushing the Void Realm erupted, bearing down on Qin Wushang, intending to suppress and kill this intruder outright.

In the wine pool, Xiao Wu was both shocked and furious!

He leaped up abruptly, radiant light blooming around him. A set of ancient, heavy battle armor instantly covered his entire body, firmly protecting him.

The next moment, a vast and majestic Saint's aura soared into the sky, sweeping through the entire space like an ocean.

Filled with rage, he charged directly at Qin Wushang.

"Die for me!"

Xiao Wu roared, gathering all his Sacred Power in a single motion, unleashing a dazzling, brilliant Saint's Seal.

The Saint's Seal radiated with ten thousand rays of golden light, transforming into a blazing sun, carrying the power to burn mountains and boil seas, pressing down toward Qin Wushang's head.

"Bang!"

Facing this strike capable of instantly killing an ordinary Saint, Qin Wushang's expression remained indifferent, without a trace of panic.

He slowly raised his right fist. No extraordinary phenomena appeared on his fist, but a world-destroying, earth-shattering might erupted, then he punched straight out!

The fist force pierced through the air, like a dragon emerging from the sea, directly colliding with that blazing sun Saint's Seal.

"Boom!"

A loud explosion, flames suddenly erupted everywhere, the blazing golden light dispersing like a tide.

That indestructible Saint's Seal was directly shattered by Qin Wushang's ordinary-looking punch!

Shattered!

That was a full-force strike from a Saint realm expert!

Everyone was dumbfounded, staring in disbelief at Qin Wushang's tall, straight figure!

The aura of a God King... not even a Saint, yet he shattered a Saint's Seal with a single punch!

This Jin Shengwu is no ordinary Saint!

Xiao Wu stood in place, his body trembling slightly, raising his eyebrows to look at Qin Wushang, his eyes filled with shock and confusion.

He had cultivated arduously for many years, fought countless bloody battles in the Border Wasteland, his Saint realm cultivation far surpassing his peers. Ordinary Saints were no match for him... yet this seemingly young man before him had effortlessly shattered his killing move!

Such strength was simply unbelievable!

"Who exactly are you?"

Jin Shengwu demanded in a deep voice.

Qin Wushang's gaze turned slightly cold as he uttered three words.

"Qin Wushang."

"Qin Wushang? You are the Supreme Double Pupils Qin Wushang?"

Warlord of Desolate City suddenly exclaimed in shock, the laziness on his face instantly vanishing, replaced by extreme seriousness.

He pushed away the delicate woman in his arms, his body tense, staring intently at Qin Wushang.

"Supreme Double Pupils, Qin Wushang!"

Warlord of Desolate City sized up Qin Wushang, growing more displeased the more he looked, releasing a terrifying Killing Intent and pressure!

A Saint Venerable expert!

Warlord of Desolate City was a Saint Venerable expert standing above Saints, the undisputed master of Desolate City.

"By order of the Empress, I am taking over Desolate City!"

Qin Wushang met his gaze and shouted.

"Bullshit! You say you're Qin Wushang, so you are?"

"Hmph! A young brat, worthy of taking over Desolate City?"

"What nonsense! Get out now! Or don't blame us for suppressing and killing you on the spot!"

In an instant, many defending generals rose up.

Whether the person before them was the real Qin Wushang or not didn't matter to them.

But taking over Desolate City was absolutely impossible!

In their eyes... the only master of Desolate City was Warlord of Desolate City.

"Heh! Qin Wushang... taking over Desolate City? What qualifications do you have to take over Desolate City?"

Warlord of Desolate City, with a broad back and sturdy build, stood up, his aura icy.

He stepped forward slowly, the entire world shaking, attempting to pressure with his presence.

Yet Qin Wushang looked at him, his expression calm.

Qin Wushang said, "By order of the Empress, you can try defying the Empress's decree."

"Hehehe... the Empress's decree!"

Warlord of Desolate City laughed.

He walked step by step, his own aura growing increasingly terrifying.

"Kid!"

"Do you know where this is?"

He coldly questioned.

Qin Wushang did not answer, just quietly watched him, not bothering to respond at all.

That gaze seemed to be looking at a clown!

"The General is asking you a question! Are you deaf?"

Seeing this, Jin Shengwu immediately shouted in reprimand.

"This is Desolate City!"

"And I am the lord of Desolate City, the undisputed authority here! The sky here!"

"Kid!"

"Tell me, if you were accidentally eaten by a Yao Beast, what would the Empress do?"

Seeing Qin Wushang not answer, Warlord of Desolate City spoke on his own, his words filled with threat.

Qin Wushang smiled.

He said calmly, "You will die, and die very ugly."

"Hahaha! I will die! Kid! If there were experts from the Chu Clan or the Academy escorting you here, I would indeed be wary!"

"But you don't!"

"With you, there's only one young girl."

"She is quite beautiful, but alas, her strength is only at the initial Saint realm."

Warlord of Desolate City laughed heartily, finding it absurd.

"Are you thinking of scaring me? Thinking I can't sense if there are Guardians?"

"Kid! Keep dreaming!"

"I am the lord of Desolate City. Any expert entering the city will be sensed by the Formation, and I will know, even if the Empress herself came!"

"You have no Guardians!"

"What will you use to kill me? Come on! Try it! Let me see you kill me!"

Warlord of Desolate City was extremely arrogant, coming before Qin Wushang, two big words written on his face.

"Seeking death!"

"Isn't living well?"

Qin Wushang retorted.

"Living is naturally good! But you say I will die, so I want to see what you can do to me!"

"Come! Make your move! I'll give you a..."

"Boom!"

Before he could finish speaking, a flash of golden light shone, a beam shot out, directly piercing through Warlord of Desolate City.

The world fell silent. A dazzling Imperial Weapon appeared before Qin Wushang. Warlord of Desolate City's eyes widened in shock, never expecting this token to appear even in death.

"Thud!"

His vitality dissipated, the fire of his Dao extinguished, his massive body plummeted straight to the ground.

"First time I've seen someone make such a request."

"Can only grant your wish."

Qin Wushang said calmly, taking the Imperial Weapon in hand.

His gaze swept over everyone. Only then did they snap out of their shock, exclaiming, "Dead... he's dead..."

"imperial edict! It's actually an imperial edict!"

They trembled, terrified.

"Is there anyone else like him, wanting to die?"

"This Young Master has always been a gentleman, happy to help others achieve their wishes!"

Qin Wushang spoke calmly.

"Thud!"

In an instant, everyone knelt down!

"We pay our respects to the City Lord!"
