Four hours later, it was deep into the night.
Giant Holy City was silent. Only a few palaces and courtyards were still lit.
Ever since the Heaven Punisher took over this city, a curfew had been enforced.
After dark, no people or martial artists walked outside. They all stayed at home and were not allowed to go out.
Therefore, only the patrolling guards were walking around Giant Holy City. The atmosphere was dull and silent.
Bai Yun, Shuang Yu, Changling, and Lingyuan were hiding under the city walls in four directions.
They hid their presence and waited patiently.
Waiting was the most torturous. Time seemed to slow down.
Bai Yun, Shuang Yu, and the others were excited and expectant, but also worried and nervous.
They hoped that the mysterious expert would appear as soon as possible, but they were also worried that the mysterious expert was too strong.
It was hard to predict whether tonight would be a blessing or a disaster.
Finally, it was midnight.
The night was even darker, and the cold wind was still howling.
Suddenly, a dazzling icy blue brilliance lit up in the City Lord's Mansion.
Then, a deafening explosion spread in the night sky.
"Bang!"
With that muffled explosion, an icy blue shock wave swept through the entire city lord's residence.
Several majestic palaces, dozens of courtyards, and pavilions were immediately blasted into ruins. Debris and dust flew into the sky.
This sudden turn of events shocked Bai Yun, Shuang Yu, and the other three. Their eyes shone brightly.
"The mysterious expert really came!"
"Hmph, that guy really walked into the trap!"
"We finally caught him!"
"Damn it! We guarded the city walls, but we did not detect that person's presence? How did he sneak into the city lord's residence? "
As these thoughts appeared in their minds, the four captains rushed to the city lord's residence at their fastest speed.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
Four streams of light cut through the night sky and surrounded the ruined city lord's residence in the blink of an eye.
The four stared sharply at the ruins. Their consciousness covered the entire Giant Holy City. Strong fighting spirit rose from their bodies.
The ruins were full of broken walls. The ground was full of holes and gullies. There were also piles of bricks and stones.
The four scanned with their consciousness and found hundreds of corpses buried in the ruins.
Among them, there were twelve corpses of black-armored warriors, all of them broken and incomplete.
It was obvious that the mysterious expert had already assassinated twelve elite warriors!
And all of this was happening right beside the four captains, but they knew nothing about it!
Thinking of this, the four of them felt a chill run down their spines. They had a bad feeling about this.
The captain of the White Cloud Fleet held a bronze saber in his right hand and a piece of blood jade in his left hand. He quickly sent out a message.
Swish!
A speck of blood-red light streaked across the night sky and quickly disappeared into the horizon.
He wanted to send a message to the people of Chao Shan City to gather them for help.
However, just as the blood light flew into the night sky and was about to disappear, an icy blue sword light suddenly burst forth.
"Boom!"
The thirty-meter-long icy-blue sword light suddenly appeared in the sky and slashed at the blood jade.
With a muffled sound, the blood jade sent out by Captain Bai Yun was shattered by the sword light and destroyed on the spot.
His communication jade slip was actually intercepted by a mysterious powerhouse!
This scene caused the four captains' bodies to stiffen, and their faces were filled with shock.
However, by intercepting the blood jade, the mysterious expert had also exposed her position and aura.
She was above the city, tens of thousands of meters above the ground in the night sky.
Even though she was using a secret technique to maintain her invisible state, the four captains still locked onto her aura.
"Over there!"
"We found her!"
"Kill!"
"We can't let her escape!"
The four captains roared in unison, waving their swords and sabers as they charged into the night sky.
The four of them stabbed out with blood-red light that filled the sky, forming saber light, sword light, spear light, and phantom beasts, instantly sealing off an area of a hundred miles.
The mysterious expert who was invisible was instantly drowned by the blood-red light and could not escape.
At the critical moment, she formed a spell with both hands and cast a powerful defensive seal.
"Ice Crystal Cage!"
In an instant, endless icy-blue light surged out, condensing into a hundred-meter-wide ice crystal ball that protected her.
This ice crystal ball was very tough and had a powerful defense.
Normally, she would use this secret technique to suppress and imprison her opponents.
However, at critical moments, she could also use it to protect herself, like a shield.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
The blood-red light, sharp blades, and phantom beasts all hit the ice crystal ball.
Instantly, all the attacks were shattered, turning into billions of blood-red light fragments that scattered in the night sky.
The ice crystal ball was also densely covered in cracks and dozens of holes.
Of course, the ice crystal ball was still intact and did not collapse on the spot.
However, the aftermath of the battle between the two sides overflowed into the Giant Spirit City, causing the city to suffer a calamity.
"Rumble!"
With a series of explosions, dozens of holes appeared in the city.
Tens of thousands of houses and buildings were blasted to pieces.
The entire city shook, and countless gullies appeared in the ground.
At least seventy to eighty thousand civilians were caught in the aftermath of the battle and were instantly killed.
Hundreds of thousands of people were injured by the aftermath of the battle or buried in the ruins.
Seeing this, the mysterious expert frowned, and a cold light flashed in her clear eyes.
"Damn those Heaven Punishers! How could they come so quickly? Did they come here just to kill me?
No, we can't fight in the city.
Otherwise, Giant Holy City will be destroyed, and millions of civilians will die!
First, lure them out of the city, and then kill them one by one! "
She made up her mind and did not linger to fight.
Whoosh!
Her figure flashed, and she teleported two hundred miles away from Giant Holy City.
Then, she turned into a ball of ice crystal light, flashing in the night sky as she quickly flew into the distance.
This scene, in the eyes of Bai Yun, Shuang Yu, and Changling, was invigorating.
"That guy really ran away!"
"Hahaha … … he knows he is no match for us and is scared out of his wits!"
"Chase, we cannot let him escape!"
"Tonight is the day he dies. We will finish the mission soon!"
The four captains did not hesitate and used teleportation secret methods to start the chase.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Everyone flashed and jumped in the sky, closing the distance between them and the mysterious expert.
In just a hundred breaths, they had chased for almost ten thousand miles and were far away from Giant Holy City.
Only now did the ball of ice crystal light slow down.
She seemed to have used up too much power and could not continue to teleport. She could only fly in the night sky.
Seeing this, Bai Yun, Shuang Yu, and Lingyuan excitedly charged over and started a siege.
"He has no strength to escape!"
"Surround him, don't let him live!"
"Everyone, don't let down your guard, stay vigilant!"
