Chapter 867: A River Flows From The Heavens

“Your arrogance knows no bounds, Powerful Bull Demon! It is true that most of our elites aren’t present at the Seventy Two Water Land Alliance right now, but have you forgotten that the Dragonmount Duke himself is still present?”

Someone yelled in anger, “It doesn’t matter if all seven of you are here. The Dragonmount Duke will destroy you all!”

“Yeah! Let us go and leave if you know what’s good for you! Otherwise, today next year will be your death anniversary!”

“Let us go now, or you won’t even have the time to wallow in regret!”

“Hahaha... we are most grateful for your concern, but worry not.” The Nine-headed Snake Demon giggled. “The Dragonmount Duke won’t be coming to your aid, so you best not count on him to save your lives.”

“What, are you going to kill us all?” Someone threatened, “Everyone here is a famous person in the jianghu. If you kill us, you will be going up against the entire jianghu! Do you think you can bear the consequences?”

“Consequences? What consequences? You speak as if we haven’t been hunted our whole lives.”

Powerful Bull Demon let out a savage laugh. “In fact, I dare you to come at me. If one shows his face, then I’ll split his face in half. If two show their faces, then I’ll remove both necks from their shoulders. If a group shows up, then I’ll slaughter you all and make a blood river! There’s nothing I love more than killing people, hahahaha!”

“Agreed,” the Nine-headed Snake Demon echoed in agreement. “It does sound fun to make an enemy out of the entire jianghu.”

For a moment, the audience fell into stunned silence. Now they thought about it, the Seven Demons of Yandang were insane. It was one thing to threaten a sane warrior into submission, but a complete madman? That was a bit of a stretch.

“That said, we have come today not to take lives, but to seek fortune.” The Nine-headed Snake Demon suddenly changed her tune and said temptingly, “So long as you cooperate with us and surrender your wealth peacefully, we promise we won’t take your lives. Amiability makes you rich, right?”

Suddenly, a silhouette appeared on the Lampfire Palace. He said, “It’s done, sister.”

The silhouette had a human’s body but a leopard’s head. He also had a long tail behind his back. He was obviously the Shadowless Leopard Demon.

Shadowless Leopard Demon was currently carrying a head each in each hand. Qu Yanniang’s eyes widened in disbelief for a moment before succumbing into despair.

The two heads belonged to the elite warriors responsible for maintaining the law and order of the Dragonmount Meet. If she and Jin Wei were the front, then they were the knives lurking in the shadows. Not only that, they were bestowed part of the Lampfire Palace’s authority so that they could use the Strange Artifact to their own advantage in case of an emergency that exceeded their capabilities to handle.

But now, both two elite warriors were dead. Clearly, the Nine-headed Snake Demon wasn’t conversing with them just because she was bored. She was also buying time for her ally to suss out the hidden warriors and kill them.

Should the five of them combine their authority, they would be able to stop the Lampfire Palace from leaving the Dragonmount City no matter what. They didn’t need to delay the usurper for too long either. Once the Dragonmount Duke showed up, it would be all over.

The five Truemen were executing their spells when suddenly, the alarm bells in their heads blared in full force. When they looked up, they saw a gigantic maw that wasn’t there before.

An unbelievably powerful suction force came from the gigantic maw, and everything within tens of kilometers suddenly started flying toward it. Many buildings were destroyed by the sudden cyclone, countless trees were violently ripped out of the ground, and even more civilians and warriors were being dragged uncontrollably toward the maw.

It was like a skyriding whale had appeared out of nowhere to devour Dragonmount City whole.

For a time, everything was falling apart, and screams came from everywhere. It was as if the apocalypse was upon them.

“You dare!”

The five Truemen had no choice but to abandon the Lampfire Palace for the moment and attack the giant maw in the sky.

The combined might of five Truemen was sky-splitting, of course. The maw was shattered in a single strike.

The unnatural air currents disappeared, and the vortex pulling everyone in disappeared like it never was. Once their momentum was spent, the buildings, trees, rocks, ordinary citizens and warriors began falling back to the ground. The screams practically doubled in intensity and quantity because of this.

The five Truemen managed to stop the giant maw, but the damage had already been done. Dragonmount City looked like a pile of ruins, and the casualties were innumerable.

The five Truemen looked like they would burst a vein or two. They cared nothing for the lives of the people, but they did care that the attack had destroyed most of their shops and businesses. To say that their loss was terrible would be an understatement.

“How dare you run rampant in my Dragonmount City, River Swallowing Toad Demon. Die.”

The voice boomed from somewhere, and a draconic claw covered in ugly scales ripped through the clouds and descended from above.

Boom...

There was a massive rumble, and a giant toad was slapped to the ground. Such was the impact that a huge, deep pit was left on the ground.

When the dust settled, a humanoid figure could be seen lying at the center of the pit. Then, the figure climbed to his feet and rubbed his belly, chuckling.

“Hahaha... not bad, Vice Chief Xin. That tickled me.”
