The Eternal World

April 15.

Qingqing.

Zhang Chao was escorted by a few people to the back garden of the City Lord's Mansion.

Last night, when the Vice City Lord came to his room, he didn't let him forge weapons anymore. Instead, he had a few guards take him to bathe and change his clothes, and even tied him up with chains.

But in the entire process, Zhang Chao was extremely cooperative and did not resist at all.

Although this made the vice city lord feel more and more suspicious, he could not find anything wrong with Zhang Chao's body.

"It should be... There won't be a problem, right? " He kept asking himself in his heart.

However, he also felt that with Zhang Chao's strength, he shouldn't be able to cause any trouble at this critical moment.

In this situation, no matter how one looked at it, Zhang Chao seemed to have resigned himself to fate.

After arriving at the rear flower garden, one of the servants pressed a button inside the fake mountain, causing the entire pond to rumble.

Soon after, the pool water was divided into two and poured towards both sides, a staircase appearing right after.

Sadly for the goldfish, quite a few of them were sent flying off into the air, where they fell to their deaths.

"Tsk tsk, this is what happens to goldfishes every day. Sooner or later, you will be met with the retribution of goldfishes!" Zhang Chao pouted, and said leisurely from the side.

"Shut up, you're about to die and you're still spouting nonsense?" The Vice City Lord glared at Zhang Chao.

"What is it? I'm happy. If you have the ability, then kill me now! " Zhang Chao tilted his neck and bellowed provocatively.

"Hmph, if I don't lower myself to your level, you're going to die soon. There's no need for me to waste words with a dead person!" The Vice City Lord ground his teeth with a disdainful look on his face.

"Are you really that sure that I will die?" Zhang Chao scoffed.

"What is it? Don't tell me you still have the thought of getting lucky? " The deputy city lord sneered and waved at the guards, "Take him away!"

Being suppressed by a few guards, Zhang Chao walked down the stairs and reached the underground cavern.

The majestic altar had already been completely constructed. Moreover, a huge brazier was placed at each of the eight corners of the altar, from which flames that were several tens of feet high continued to soar.

Behind each brazier stood a man in a black robe, his body enveloped in a black aura.

In the centre of the altar, there were countless inscriptions that looked like talismans. It was unknown what incantation it was, but it emitted waves of Miasma.

The youth that Zhang Chao cared about the most was currently sitting on a large chair not too far away. That chair was too big, completely out of proportion to the teenager's slender figure.

"Masters, the disciples of War God Academy have been bet, we can start now!" The Vice City Lord respectfully said to the crowd.

"Fine, place him on the altar and chop off his head. The blood will fill the array glyphs. Everyone, prepare to activate the altar and let my master recover!" The young man nodded, he then raised his hand and pointed: "Then, send someone to bring this man's head back to War God Academy, lure the enemy's experts into the urn, when the red moon rises, all the experts' blood and soul will be devoured by the altar, my Lord can wake up smoothly!"

"Ha, you guys really put on a big show!" Zhang Chao laughed without fear.

"Cut the crap, go up!" Several guards pushed and shoved Zhang Chao onto the altar, then shouted out, "Kneel down, prepare to die!"

"Kneel?" Zhang Chao began to laugh coldly: "Are you going to kneel or am I going to kneel? Other than Master's parents, I, Zhang Chao, will not kneel to anyone! "

"You're about to die and you're still standing here? Kneel! " One of the guards said fiercely and kicked towards the bend of Zhang Chao's leg.

But before his foot could even touch Zhang Chao's body, a cold light suddenly flashed and his entire leg had disappeared!

Gone!

His entire foot was gone!

"This …" The guard was stunned for a moment before immediately letting out a blood-curdling screech. His entire body fell to the ground, blood continuously gushing out from the cut on his ankle.

"You … What did you do? Where are his feet? " The nearby guard's pupils dilated as he cried out in disbelief.

"How should I know? Could it be that his actions caused even the heavens to be unable to bear it, and that he used violence against a person under the protection of the heavens like me, so he suffered the punishment of the heavens? " Zhang Chao said slowly.

"How is this possible?" The guards exchanged glances.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and do it! " The Deputy City Lord roared from under the altar.

"Damn it, pretending to be mysterious. I don't believe that you can do anything else!" One of the guards raised the heavy blade in his hand, and slashed horizontally at Zhang Chao's neck.

But just as the large blade was about to come into contact with Zhang Chao, it also flashed with a cold light. The entire blade head disappeared without a trace, only half of it remained!

"Hmm? This … "This is …" The guards sucked in another breath of cold air.

"Vice City Lord, this kid is a little strange!" That guard quickly turned around and said to the Vice City Lord.

"It's just an insignificant skill. He must have used some sort of magical equipment!" A black robed man harrumphed, and then ordered the vice city lord, "Go and personally take care of him, don't waste time!"

"Ugh …" "Yes!" The deputy mayor's eyes twitched a few times, and he could only jump onto the stage. With a flick of his wrist, he said, "Yuan Power Manifestation!"

Elemental energy gathered in the palm of his hand, congealing into the shape of a long blade, and fiercely slashed towards Zhang Chao!

"Useless!" The corner of Zhang Chao's mouth rose, but he did not move an inch.

Soon after, half of the long blade formed by the deputy city lord's elemental energy ended up the same. In the blink of an eye, half of it was wiped off!

"This Zhang Chao... "It really is strange!" Seeing this, everyone frowned.

"How could this be?"

"Hahaha, didn't I say that? How can it be so simple to kill me? " Zhang Chao laughed out loud.

"Brat, what method did you use?" The Vice City Lord gritted his teeth in hatred.

"High-grade Earth-grade magic treasure, Void Barrier, it can automatically defend and erase all attacks on its wielder. It is said that it was thrown into the void!" At this moment, the youth opened his mouth. "Such a rare and unconventional magic treasure, you actually possess it? Could it be that it was refined in the City Lord's Mansion a few days ago?"

"Oh? Are there experts? " Zhang Chao raised his eyebrows.

"It really is a magical item!" When everyone heard this, they came to a realization.

"Hmph, isn't that just a treasure? Good, I want to see, in front of my treasured blade that can cut through the void, what kind of void barrier do you think you can be so arrogant! " The deputy city lord's eyes turned red as he lifted his hand and drew out a ghost-headed broadsword.

The moment the saber appeared, the temperature of the surrounding air plummeted. Just looking at the shining saber blade, one would have the illusion that even their soul was being cut.

"Hey, it's also a high-grade earth-grade magic treasure!" Zhang Chao chuckled, "Alright, let's try it!"

"Die, brat!" The Vice City Lord was already agitated from the provocation. In a fit of rage, he raised the ghost head knife and was about to smash it down.

"It's no use, stop!" The teenager spoke again.

"But, my lord, my …" The Vice City Lord was extremely furious, and could only put down the ghost head knife.

"If I'm not wrong, the void barrier can erase any attack, but it has a certain degree of invalidity, and is not invincible!" The youth leisurely said, "Either crush it with an even more powerful force, or let it exhaust itself several times over!"

After saying that, he flicked his finger, and countless of red rays of spirit energy rushed out, striking towards Zhang Chao.

"This is really troublesome. I thought I could stall for more time by relying on this!" Zhang Chao frowned, the dozens of red lights instantly smashed into his body.

However, most of the red light was erased in an instant, but there were still seven red lights that solidly exploded on Zhang Chao's body.

Zhang Chao was immediately sent flying by this tyrannical force, and even the shackles on his body shattered!

"So, so powerful!" Everyone was dumbstruck.

"Wow!" Zhang Chao spat out a mouthful of blood and sat up on the ground in pain. A palm-sized shield treasure fell out of his arms and shattered into pieces.

"Damn, I almost died. What a heavy attack!" Zhang Chao grinded his teeth and wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth.

"Such a sturdy body?" The young man was also startled. Although he did not use much strength, most Energy Accumulation Realm cultivators would at least peel off a layer of their skin after receiving so many blows from him. This Zhang Chao, on the other hand, merely spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Without the treasure protecting your body, I want to see how you can continue to be cocky. Zhang Chao, die! I want to avenge my Ferghana Horse! " Seeing that, the Vice City Lord immediately dragged his ghost head knife and walked forward, fiercely slashing at Zhang Chao!

"What a joke. With just you?" Zhang Chao's eyes flashed with a cold light, he rushed forward and sent a fist out to meet it!

"Use your fist to fight against my blade? If you want to be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, then I will cut you in half! "

"Is that so?" The corner of Zhang Chao's mouth lifted, and on his fist, a metal glove actually appeared!

"Bang!" The gloves collided with the blade, causing sparks to fly out. The two were simultaneously knocked away by the force of the collision.

"Damn him!" The Vice City Lord's face darkened. He turned to the youth and the other black-robed men and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please give me a chance to kill this brat with my own hands!"

"Sure, but don't waste too much time!" The youth nodded.

"Relax, how long will it take to kill him? Three breaths of time is enough! " As the Vice City Lord spoke, he instantly pushed his elemental energy to the maximum and rushed towards Zhang Chao once more.

"You're thinking too much!" Zhang Chao flung his hands out, and a few black figures were thrown out by him. When they landed at the City Lord's feet, they suddenly exploded, sending out black smoke and flames.

"Low level magic treasure?" It's just a small trick! " The Vice City Lord was not afraid at all, he rushed towards Zhang Chao once again.

Zhang Chao still raised his hand and threw out a few more black figures.

But this time, it was no longer a low-level magic treasure with no power. Instead, it was a few cold swords radiating cold light!

"Dang, dang, dang!" With a few sounds, the Vice City Lord swung his blade and sent the sword flying. Just as he was about to rush to Zhang Chao's front, the swords made a circle in the air and pierced towards him at the same time!
