"Ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth!"
Gu Tongtian let out a cold laugh, tinged with amusement, as if in his eyes, the people before him were mere ants, unworthy of his discourse.
"Everyone present, this is a crucial moment. We must let them know our might!"
Lord Xueluo spoke, "Even if we perish, we will never suffer insult from others!"
"Fight to the death!"
The crowd shouted in unison, their spirits soaring.
Having chosen to oppose the Holy City, they had never considered retreating whole. Since the Holy City had made its move, they would commit all their strength.
As humans, they would not be dictated by others; this was something everyone understood.
In response to these words, everyone nodded slightly, a smile gracing their lips, their eyes sharpening. Faced with such events, they could only go all out, striving for self-preservation.
"Mere rabble, daring to be presumptuous before this venerable one!"
Gu Tongtian burst into laughter, his aura surging forth, appearing like a tempest, stirring endless turmoil and striking awe into their hearts.
Witnessing this scene, many faces changed. They had not expected Gu Tongtian's prowess to be so formidable; in mere moments, he had instilled a sense of dread within them.
"Is this the strength of the Heavenly Lord Eighth Realm?"
Gazing at the scene before them, everyone sighed in disbelief. Such immense power was truly startling.
"Lord Xueluo, with just us, we are likely no match for him!"
Lord Wushuang frowned, "We must quickly deploy the divine artifact; only then will we have a chance to fight!"
"Do not forget, the Holy City also possesses divine artifacts. If we use the Xueluo Ice Staff now, he will undoubtedly use his divine artifact as well. You and I both know how powerful a Heavenly Lord Eighth Realm expert is when summoning a divine artifact."
Lord Xueluo stated directly, "With the slightest misstep, we might all perish here!"
Faced with these words, Lord Wushuang's expression turned grim. He too could sense that things were not so simple.
However, at this juncture, he felt helpless. After all, at this critical moment, if they did not use the divine artifact, they might not even have the opportunity to do so.
Ever since he chose to make an enemy of the Holy City, he had never thought he would leave the Holy City alive.
"Rest assured, as long as we stand united, we will not be defeated!" Lord Xueluo reassured him.
Rumble...
At that very instant, a rumbling sound echoed. With this sound, everyone was startled, their spiritual energy surging madly within them. They could feel Gu Tongtian's formidable aura; a single misstep could lead to death by destiny.
The Four City Lords did not hesitate, charging forward directly. Among the many combatants, perhaps only they could contend with Gu Tongtian.
Simultaneously, a smile played on Gu Tongtian's lips, carrying a hint of coldness. "Do you truly believe that with your skills, you can do as you please?"
"What if we die?"
Lord Xueluo narrowed his eyes, his expression growing more indifferent, as if everything were within his grasp.
"Since that is the case, I shall send you on your way!"
With a look of coldness, Gu Tongtian stepped forward, a powerful aura spreading out, clashing palm against palm with the Four City Lords.
The Four City Lords' faces turned ashen, their bodies violently thrown back, blood seeping from their lips. They had never imagined things would come to this.
Pfft...
Lord Baidi spat out a mouthful of blood, his complexion turning extremely unsightly.
"How could it have come to this!" Su Dan Novel Network
With a cold expression, Lord Xueluo remarked, "Just one realm difference, and such a vast disparity in power!"
"The Heavenly Lord Eighth Realm is indeed no trivial matter!"
Frowning slightly, Lord Wushuang spoke, "It seems we are destined to lose today, and all our efforts have been in vain!"
"Impossible! As long as there is a glimmer of hope, no one should give up easily!"
Lord Xueluo quickly said, his gaze grave. He knew very well what this meant; with the slightest mistake, everyone might suffer.
However, in response to these words, everyone hung their heads in dejection. After all, the reality was clear: a Heavenly Lord Eighth Realm expert was not someone they could contend with. All they could do now was await their demise.
"Why bother? If you had not made me your enemy, perhaps you would not have ended up like this!"
Gu Tongtian chuckled faintly. "It is a pity that choices cannot be redone. You are about to pass on, and throughout the desolate ancient world, I shall be supreme. No one can change this!"
"Ridiculous!"
Lord Xueluo spoke coldly, attempting to forcefully activate the Xueluo Ice Staff, but at that very moment, a long sword pierced through the air, directly suppressing it.
"What is going on?"
Lord Baidi frowned. The Xueluo Ice Staff was their last resort. If they could not wield it, it would mean mortal peril for them.
"The Xueluo Ice Staff is being blocked by the Sacred Sword. It seems we are destined to perish here today!" Lord Xueluo offered a wry smile. This was not what he wished to see, but alas, at this point, even he had no room to maneuver, and his heart was filled with resentment.
"How could this be!"
His expression instantly turned grim, and Lord Baidi furrowed his brow.
If this were truly the case, it would undoubtedly be a massive blow to them.
"It is all my fault for underestimating him. A Heavenly Lord Eighth Realm expert is indeed not to be trifled with!"
Lord Xueluo stated, "At this point, it is ultimately beyond our ability to resist!"
"Is this our fate?"
Lord Wushuang gave a wry smile, "If I had known this, there would have been no need to do all this!"
"Everyone, do not give up; perhaps there is still a slim chance of survival!"
Lord Xuanlong spoke, "Although Gu Tongtian is strong, he must have weaknesses!"
"Even if he has weaknesses, it is too late now!"
Lord Xueluo shook his head, gazing at Gu Tongtian, who was approaching step by step, his heart filled with helplessness. At this juncture, it was unlikely anyone could change the outcome.
"If you were to kneel and beg for mercy now, and hand over your Ice Soul, perhaps I could spare your life and you could become my slave!"
The corner of his mouth curved upwards, the Lord of the Holy City spoke, his words laced with coldness.
"Even if we die, we will not surrender to you!" Lord Xueluo chuckled lightly. "You should abandon this idea!"
"What, do you hate me so much?" Gu Tongtian sneered. "In this world, the strong have always been revered. If you are not a match, you should bear with it!"
"Truly laughable. Since you already have the upper hand, why speak so much nonsense!"
Lord Xueluo said coldly, "Make your move! Let us see how ruthless you truly are!"
