Huang Baitao's face bore a touch of icy coldness, "Sorry to disappoint you!"
His eyes were fixed deathly on Sha Kun, as well as the mother and son pair of Ji Lingluo by his side.
In his gaze was anger, sorrow, and an unprecedented iciness.
These were his wife and child.
At the most critical mont...
They had actually chosen to betray him.
In Huang Baitao's heart, Ji Lingluo and Huang Jinghong had already equated to cold corpses.
Sha Kun's face was ashen. He turned to Ji Lingluo and Huang Jinghong beside him and bellowed angrily, "Is this your so-called foolproof plan? Didn't you say that Huang Baitao was already dead?"
"I, I had no idea..."
Huang Jinghong's face was a picture of confusion. Under the threat of death, he played his bla-shifting trick again, pointing at Ji Lingluo, "All this was done by my mother. She told to do everything according to your orders."
Hiss!
Ji Lingluo's triangular eyes widened in shock as Sha Kun turned to look at her. With a face of mourning, she said, "I did as you instructed and tampered with their last batch of dicine. They didn't notice at all!"
Sha Kun's expression shifted unpredictably.
He was certain that Ji Lingluo and Huang Jinghong wouldn't dare deceive him.
His gaze turned to Huang Baitao, with a cold glint in his eyes, he sneered, "I was truly careless. I never expected that you'd have such a capable person by your side who could even detect the Drunken God Powder."
Drunken God Powder.
Colorless and odorless, ranked among the eighth grade.
In strict terms...
Drunken God Powder was not a poison, but a special kind of elixir that only alchemists of eight stars and above could concoct.
As its na implies.
Once taken, even gods would be overpowered by its effects. Enjoy new chapters from My Virtual Library Empire
It was by chance that Sha Kun had gotten his hands on two doses of Drunken God Powder.
The first was used to drug Huang Baitao, then he had Fu Yuan diagnosed Huang Baitao as poisoned, and calmly arranged his plot, using others to attempt poisoning Huang Baitao with the Hundred Tribulations Elixir.
Sha Kun's plan was seamless.
But now.
Everything had co to naught!
"Sha Kun, I always treated you well, yet you plotted to poison and take over the city lord's position. I am deeply disappointed in you!" Huang Baitao lanted.
He and Sha Kun had been as close as brothers, but now they stood on opposite sides, enemies to the death.
"Hmph!"
Sha Kun snorted coldly, his eyes shining with a cold light. He scoffed, "Treat well? That's just wishful thinking on your part. Over these years, you've been ordering around, always using your position as the city lord to suppress . If it wasn't for your constraints, the slave trade would have expanded a hundredfold by now. Beast Emperor City could have opened trade with those inland dynasties and prospered beyond asure compared to its current state. Under your rule, Beast Emperor City can only decline, only I can make it thrive!"
Sha Kun's ambition was boundless.
He wanted to turn Beast Emperor City into a mariti kingdom and even sought to reach into the inland dynasties.
But Huang Baitao had always been unwilling to stir up war.
He simply wished to maintain the status quo.
Their ideologies clashed; Sha Kun had no choice but to take action and eliminate Huang Baitao.
"Sha Kun, you might as well surrender!"
Huang Baitao sighed. Although he was conservative, he was not a backward thinker, especially after his recent brush with death had awakened him, "I have recovered, and you cannot take the city lord's seat. I promise to only take your life and spare your family. If you remain willfully blind, then don't bla for totally uprooting the Sha Family!"
"Surrender? Do you think that's possible?"
Sha Kun gave a cold laugh, his hand waved, and a 'whoosh' echoed as countless grains of sand filled the sky.
The golden sand gathered together, forming two heavy hamrs in his hands.
Thud, thud!
These were the Sixth-Layer High-Grade Primordial Vajra Hamrs, forged from a millennium of flowing sand, each hamr weighing ten thousand pounds. The hamrs swung in his hands, stirring up a fierce wind, kicking up clouds of sand.
His black hair whipped wildly as his python robe burst open.
The sandstorm swirled around him.
Transforming into a suit of golden armor.
Sha Kun bellowed furiously, "Kill them all for !"
"Stubborn fool!"
Huang Baitao's eyes spat cold electricity, his wrist twisting as the Golden Trident in his grasp whirred to life, spinning wildly at the hum of its sound, he charged towards Sha Kun with the trident poised for battle.
Boom!
The two collided with imnse force.
The terrible clash of energies produced two circular shockwaves that swept outwards in all directions.
Wherever the shockwaves passed, every building trembled with loud roars, crumbling into a sky-full of dust.
Huang Baitao roared, "Sha Kun, fight in the sea!"
"Afraid of you?"
Sha Kun, wielding a pair of Primordial Vajra Hamrs, stepped across the sky filled with sand and dust, appearing godlike and demonlike as he pursued hotly.
At the sa ti.
Huang Zheng and Huang Yi were also fighting towards Sha Diao and others.
The city lord's guards were locked in fierce battle with the Black Shark Guard.
On the side of the city lord's mansion, there were Huang Zheng and Huang Yi, both at the Dharma Manifestation Realm, whereas Sha Kun's side had Sha Diao, Slave King ng Tuo from the Slave Battlefield with ninety victories, and a sixth-layer interdiate rank beast, the Desert Poison Scorpion, equivalent to the fourth level of Dharma Manifestation Realm.
Two against three.
Huang Zheng and his companion were being pushed back step by step.
Especially Sha Diao, whose combat prowess was also extraordinary.
With his third-level Dharma Manifestation Realm cultivation and mastery of Half-Step Fourth-Order Sword Intent, plus his control over the mist where the Black Shark Guard dwelled. He hid within the mist or suddenly appeared among the Black Shark Guard, making him unpredictable and hard to defend against.
Wuu wuu wuu!
Suddenly, the sound of a flute burst forth.
Huang Yi's eyes glazed over as he fought the Desert Poison Scorpion. Behind the Scorpion, in the mist, the figure of Sha Diao suddenly erged.
He held a flute in one hand and a Longsword in the other.
Hum!
In an instant, the sword's edge appeared at Huang Yi's back.
Without a sound.
This sword would have ended Huang Yi's life, but at that mont, a fair hand reached out from the void. It caught the Longsword, and Huang Yi ca to his senses in that mont, drenched in cold sweat as he fled.
Looking back, Huang Yi saw Xiao Yi gripping Sha Diao's Longsword, heaving a sigh of relief, "Thank you!"
"Leave this to !"
Xiao Yi waved it off, looking up at Sha Diao wrapped in the black mist, raised his eyebrows, "The person I encountered on the Beast Emperor Sea, that was you, wasn't it?"
Sha Diao squinted his eyes, and two red lights shone through the mist. He quietly retracted his Longsword, his voice dark and chilly, "I didn't expect to et again!"
"Hiding in the shadows, too scared to show your face?" Xiao Yi said.
The mist around Sha Diao swirled, his voice coming from all directions, elusive as his form, "At the mont when you die, I will let you see !"
"That is truly unfortunate, looks like I won't have the chance to see you in this lifeti!" Xiao Yi chuckled.
"Is that so?"
Sha Diao's voice echoed from every direction.
Xiao Yi's pupils slightly constricted.
A sword finger erected.
He pointed behind himself.
Clang!
A crisp sound rang out from within the mist, and sparks flew. It was Xiao Yi's sword finger eting a cold sword tip, clashing like a needle against wheat.
"Hmm?"
Surprise tinged Sha Diao's voice, "You can actually sense my sword?"
"Half-Step Fourth-Order Sword Intent is indeed strong, but..."
Xiao Yi's lips curled up, the genuine aura of Fourth-Order Sword Intent released without restraint, he coldly laughed without regard for Sha Diao's cry from within the mist, "Compared to , you're still lacking!"
