Everyone saw!

Just as the Black Dragon Gang man was about to reach out and receive the slowly falling crystal space, a biting sword glow suddenly shot out from the space where smoke and dust clouded.

Pu!

The undercover mole—which the Black Dragon Gang had planted in Thunder Palace—had a violent change in countenance as he let out a piteous shriek! “Ah!”

One of his arms was sliced off at the elbow. Fresh blood spurted everywhere like a bold scholar splashing ink and wielding his writing brush!

How could there be a sword ray? 

For a time, everyone was horrified!

Is that person still alive?!

Even a forbidden curse—which had might capable of destroying mountains and overturning the seas—was unable to impair him?

While the hearts of the masses palpitated wildly in their chests, like the beating of drums, an apathetic voice suddenly resonated in the area. “That’s all?”

Only a brief two words, yet they seemed to carry contemplation and disdain! However, they spoke more than a thousand words, setting off an earth-shattering shock in the group of Evolvers’ hearts!

What that person faced earlier was a forbidden curse! Why does it sound like he thinks nothing of even a forbidden curse? 

Is he still human?

Could it be that he really is an unstoppable Demon Lord? 

The Black Dragon Gang man—whose arm had been chopped off—had the corners of his eyes harshly twitch as cold sweat covered his forehead!

The Black Dragon Gang had already existed before the apocalypse, and their senior members had even discerned some truths about the apocalypse. This was why they were able to rise up in the apocalyptic world so swiftly and strongly and infiltrate the various parties.

However, this scene—which surpassed common sense—still caused deep fear to surge in his heart.

The chill that penetrated his soul made him even more shocked than the immense pain of losing his arm. It shocked him to the point he even trembled!

“How is this possible? He can actually survive a forbidden curse? Only Evolvers at Stage Six and above have a slight possibility of doing so! But it’s absolutely impossible for such powerhouses to appear at this point!” The Black Dragon Gang man shook his head harshly and howled in disbelief.

But the only response he got was golden sword energy!

The golden sword energy swept out from the smog, and this strike directly slashed towards the man’s head!

Before the sword energy struck, the biting chill had already caused this Black Dragon Gang member’s scalp to go numb!

Behind the man, a tall and lean man with a stern gaze swooped forward with quick strides. His name was Zhao Feng. He was about 30 years of age, and he had an ordinary appearance. It could even be said that he was ugly. He had a hideous scar on his cheek.

He was the one who thrust the longsword into Zhu Tianyang’s chest and ended his life earlier. Presently, Zhao Feng dashed forward with a sword in hand. A scarlet-red glow flew from the cold blade and crashed into the golden sword energy, seemingly wanting to erase this frightening blow!

Zhao Feng’s countenance wildly changed the instant the sword energy and sword wind collided; a speck of horror even flashed through his eyes.

The golden sword energy’s might exceeded his imagination.

One must know that he was a Silver-grade Fighter with a hidden profession, [Bloodthirsty Bladesman]. At the same time, he was also a Stage Three, Level 5 powerhouse. Yet, he couldn’t even block a Stage Three Summoner’s sword energy now?

How could Zhao Feng not feel alarmed? His eyes were wide as he gritted his teeth so hard that they rattled. But his purlicue was still split within seconds, and his body was directly thrown back!

The Black Dragon Gang man was also sent flying together with Zhao Feng.

At this moment, footsteps sounded.

A figure as tall and straight as a spear stepped out from the smoke. He wasn’t walking fast, yet he instantly became the center of the space, the focus of the crowd.

Every one of his footsteps seemed to be stepping on the hearts of the people.

Unparalleled might, piercing dominance!

It was Link! The crystal ball—which had been falling slowly—was gripped in his hand by his five slender fingers. However, the situation had yet to be settled, and Link was not anxious to examine his gains. Instead, he turned his head slowly and looked around.

His pair of deep and profound eyes carried an icy gaze; it made all the Evolvers frightened, and they unconsciously retreated!

“Demon Lord! Demon Lord! He really is a Demon Lord!” cried out someone in panic, frightened out of his wits.

Meanwhile, Yang Xuerou and company were suddenly relieved, and their beautiful eyes lit up.

Some people’s eyes even turned red, and tears almost fell.

“That’s great! Lord is fine!”

“I knew it; how can my Brother Ling be someone you people can defeat? Before my Brother Ling, all of you are clay chickens and pottery dogs—too weak to withstand even a single blow!” Fatty Lu Da clamored with a look of excitement.

…

In the distance, the crowd from the Temple of Light—who was watching the battle—was also dumbstruck presently!

“Honey! No way, there is actually someone who can survive a forbidden curse!? Could this fellow really be a Demon Lord? It is said that a scourge never dies!” exclaimed someone with a look full of disbelief.

Even the few Temple of Light Elders found it difficult to remain calm at this moment. The corners of their mouth twitched.

“Shut up!” The Son of Light, Ou Chen, said with sparkling eyes, “What scourge? That is a powerhouse that I picked out! He is naturally extraordinary!”

An Elder nodded lightly and said in a deep voice, “He is indeed exceptional. My Temple of Light can only be on friendly terms with such a character. We cannot offend him.”

Another Elder also nodded and commented with a solemn countenance. “Mm, we indeed ought to strike up a friendship. We happen to have information on an area full of monsters in our hands. We might have the chance to work together with this person!”

Ou Chen smiled; he knew that the powerhouse he’d picked out was outstanding enough.

Look, even the Temple of Light Elders immediately regarded Link in a new light!

…

Link surveyed those Evolvers expressionlessly and slowly lifted his longsword. “Black Dragon Gang; it’s you people again. It seems like the greater part of the reason why these forces appeared here is due to your instigations behind the scene.”

Link had also heard the Black Dragon Gang members’ earlier words. Given his wit, he naturally understood the complexities behind all the events immediately.

This Black Dragon Gang was rather ambitious; they wanted to seize the City Building Token but feared his capabilities. Hence, they used the other forces in Dragon City as their tools, while they waited to reap the benefits as a third party.

When Link pointed things out, the Evolvers were also enlightened. Some powerful members of Thunder Palace, World Society, and Monopoly even cast resentful gazes at the Black Dragon Gang members.

Link killed their leader, so he was naturally abominable. But at the heart of everything, it was all the Black Dragon Gang sowing discord!

Compared to Link, their resentment for the Black Dragon Gang would only be greater!

“Go! Leave this place as fast as possible!” Zhao Feng yelled. Even he felt nervous in his heart when being coldly watched by so many people.

Of course, the one he feared the most was still Link—who was standing with a sword in hand. This man was virtually like a supernatural being!

Link also chuckled coldly, and he pressed down his palm. “Kill!”

As this command fell, God Devourer Ant, the six-winged Holy Angel Yuna, Star Moon, and all the summoned creatures moved.

Even Xue Linglong and the others behind Link also charged over.

Zhao Feng and company were instantly frightened out of their wits and fled miserably! However, how could they—who’d already incurred public wrath—escape the fate of death?

Splendid holy light, sword energy, and blade gleams glistened as light rays of all colors shrouded the place!

Within a few breaths, several Black Dragon Gang members were blown to pieces on the spot!
