Two powerful experts clashed, stirring up a tempest. The surrounding figures retreated hastily, their expressions tinged with panic.
Meanwhile, Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, not yet urging Elder Feng to act. Instead, he observed from the sidelines.
He wanted to see who was more formidable, Bai Di or Zhu Long. Both individuals were extraordinary, displaying astonishing techniques.
The others also refrained from attacking, quietly watching the spectacle, as if everything else had become secondary.
Zhu Long's aura surged, and Bai Di met his challenge without yielding. They traded blows, their power so immense that it seemed the entire Snowfall City might crumble, causing widespread commotion.
Rumble...
With a resonating hum, a section of Snowfall City's wall instantly collapsed. The onlookers scrambled to evade the falling debris.
Snowfall City was protected by formations. Under normal circumstances, such a collapse would be impossible, causing them considerable unease.
"Heavenly Lord Six Realms experts are indeed extraordinary!"
City Lord Xuan Long declared, "If they were Heavenly Lord Seven Realms, or even Heavenly Lord Eight Realms, wouldn't their abilities be heaven-defying!"
"Heavenly Lord Eight Realms?"
A slight curl of his lips, City Lord Snowfall shook his head. "As far as I know, besides the Holy City Lord, no one in the entire Ancient Desolation World has reached that realm!"
"Your ignorance does not signify absence!" City Lord Xuan Long shook his head. "Perhaps there are more mysterious existences within the Ancient Desolation World, ones who have not yet appeared, merely observing the heavenly mechanisms from afar!"
"What you say is not without reason!"
City Lord Snowfall nodded slightly, in strong agreement. However, he also understood that even if such existences were present, they would be few and far between.
As their battle raged, the tension among the onlookers heightened. If Bai Di were to fall, Snowfall City would be weakened. If Bai Di City emerged victorious, Snowfall City would gain a significant advantage.
"Master, they are evenly matched. It's unlikely a victor will emerge!"
Elder Feng stated, "At this juncture, eliminating the other experts from the Holy City is the most opportune course of action!"
"Elder Feng, you were once an elder of the Holy City. Why are you so loyal to me now?" Lu Fan smiled faintly. "It makes me feel somewhat unaccustomed!"
"My life is in your hands, Master. If the Four Great Cities are defeated by the Holy City, you too will likely face peril. At that point, I will vanish along with you!"
Elder Feng spoke frankly, "Therefore, all I can do is ensure my survival today!"
"Well said!"
Lu Fan nodded. "In that case, you may fight to your heart's content. As long as they are from the Holy City, you can make them pay!"
Following these words, Elder Feng moved like a phantom, his figure instantly stepping forward. He had been waiting for Lu Fan's command.
The Holy City members felt Elder Feng's aura, and their expressions immediately turned grim.
City Lord Snowfall and the others did not hesitate, launching their attacks with full force. This was a golden opportunity that could not be easily missed.
With Elder Feng's personal involvement, coupled with their combined assault, they were certain to heavily injure these individuals.
As time wore on, Snowfall City was filled with the sounds of bombardment. Numerous Holy City experts retreated, with half of them already perishing.
This was a significant blow to them. To dare such actions without sufficient strength was to court death.
Simultaneously, everyone could clearly sense that some matters were not as simple as they appeared.
Zhu Long, seeing the unfavorable turn of events, frowned slightly. He had not anticipated things escalating to this point, catching him off guard.
"Elder Feng, you aid the wicked, and retribution will surely find you!"
After speaking, Zhu Long and several other elders departed. Although they were all Heavenly Lord Six Realms experts, they could gain no advantage here. Instead, they were forced to retreat continuously, a significant setback for them.
"My life is not even my own, what else do I have to fear!"
Elder Feng gave a wry smile. "Even if it means mutual destruction today, I will not hesitate!"
"He's simply a madman!"
Another elder from the Holy City shook his head, feeling utterly helpless. With the situation having reached this point, there was little more to be said.
Elder Feng was under control, and the Four Great City Lords were not weak. This posed a threat to the Holy City.
"These are three Heavenly Lord Six Realms experts. If we can keep them all here, the Holy City will lose a significant portion of its fighting strength!"
Lu Fan stated, "If we let them leave now, in a short period, they will likely increase their numbers with countless experts. Dealing with them then will be exceedingly difficult!"
Following these words, everyone's brows furrowed. What Lu Fan had said was indeed accurate.
"Since things have come to this, why don't we make a forceful move!"
With coldness in his eyes, City Lord Snowfall declared, "We must keep them here. Only then can we ensure absolute certainty!"
Following these words, the other City Lords nodded in agreement. What Lu Fan had said was not wrong; as long as they could retain these Heavenly Lord Six Realms experts, all problems would be resolved.
At the same time, everyone understood that if they failed, the Four Great Cities might become ruins in the near future, with no one able to resist.
After all, the Holy City had too many experts. Even the contingent dispatched this time was proving difficult for the Four Great Cities to handle.
Zhu Long, seeing the unfavorable situation, did not dare to delay. He quickly moved towards other directions with incredible speed. He was acutely aware that if these individuals truly intended to prevent their escape, they possessed the capability to trap them all here, putting their lives in grave peril.
"We cannot let them escape!"
Lu Fan's gaze turned sharp, a cold glint appearing at the corner of his mouth. Since the matter had escalated to this point, they had no intention of backing down.
Following these words, everyone's expression grew solemn. They could clearly sense the killing intent in Lu Fan's speech.
Elder Feng did not hesitate, charging forward as per Lu Fan's instructions.
The other City Lords also surged forward. Only they could ensure the capture of all the Holy City elders. This would provide the most robust protection for the Four Great Cities.
"Damn it!"
Zhu Long's face turned ashen. He shouted to the other two elders, "Return to the Holy City immediately and report this matter to the City Lord!"
Following these words, Elder Feng had already reached Zhu Long, appearing almost frenzied and showing no signs of restraint.
Boom...
Caught off guard, Zhu Long was instantly sent flying, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his expression exceedingly grim.
Witnessing this scene, everyone rejoiced.
