When the Shadow heavily fell to the ground, Wang Tong, Zhen Jing, and the others had shocked expressions on their faces.
They stared wide-eyed, in disbelief at the scene before them.
Wang Tong clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white, as anger and unwillingness burned like flas in his heart.
"How can this be? Lord Shadow actually lost!" Wang Tong said through gritted teeth.
Zhen Jing’s face was also extrely grim.
He originally thought that with Shadow around, Xu Wendong was bound to die without a doubt.
But now the situation had taken such a drastic turn.
It’s hard to accept.
"What kind of luck did this Xu Wendong have to get a powerhouse like Han Hexiang to step in for him," Zhen Jing’s face was twisted, almost grinding his back teeth to pieces.
Though Han Hexiang had previously spread the word about taking Xu Wendong as a disciple,
the two had not held any disciple ceremony.
Simply put,
there was no ntor-disciple bond between them.
But who would have thought in this situation, Han Hexiang would go so far as to violate the Immortal King’s order for Xu Wendong?
So were joyful, while others were sorrowful.
The mont they saw the Shadow defeated,
Si Yao, Lu Shuling, Xue Yan, and others looked excited, including those disciples of Lingyan Pavilion, each with tears in their eyes.
Because everyone knew.
They had long shared life and death with Xu Wendong.
Han Hexiang looked at the Shadow with indifferent eyes and said coldly, "Get lost! Today, I will spare your life. I am letting you go so that the Lord Immortal King can judge you personally."
"Because you have betrayed the Lord Immortal King!"
After speaking, his figure lightly landed on the roof where Xu Wendong was.
He put one hand behind his back, exuding the aura of a strong man.
But Xu Wendong clearly sensed.
His master’s internal energy was in chaos.
It was obvious.
In the battle just now, Han Hexiang also suffered heavy injuries.
Yet he forcibly supported his body, standing in front of him, protecting him.
This filled Xu Wendong’s heart with a sense of gratitude.
"Han Hexiang, the one who betrayed the Lord Immortal King is you!"
Without any warning.
A cold voice ca from the direction of Tianji Pavilion.
Then a powerful aura emanated from that direction.
Giving off a sense of overwhelming oppression.
Everyone looked up to see a figure appear like a ghost.
This person was none other than.
The Hall Master of the Array Formation Hall.
Acting City Lord of the Underground City, Liu Yuansong.
Liu Yuansong was dressed in a black robe, his face stern, eyes exuding a ruthless glint.
His appearance made the atmosphere, which had relaxed, tense again.
Wang Tong and Zhen Jing’s eyes filled with undisguisable excitent.
Hearts racing faster.
As if they could jump out of their chests anyti.
Although Han Hexiang was incredibly powerful,
but...
Liu Yuansong was the strongest under the Immortal King!
Now that Liu Yuansong personally appeared, how could Xu Wendong have any chance of surviving?
Han Hexiang’s eyes flashed with seriousness, he sneered: "Liu Yuansong, you keep saying I betrayed the Lord Immortal King, where’s your evidence?"
Liu Yuansong glanced at Xu Wendong with a mocking smile: "Xu Wendong is an ominous person. I ordered a blood sacrifice to pacify the chaos above, returning peace to our city’s residents. Is this wrong?"
"But you audaciously opposed this and even gravely injured the Shadow, isn’t this a betrayal of the Lord Immortal King?"
Han Hexiang’s eyes burned with anger, "Liu Yuansong, don’t spout nonsense. Xu Wendong is not an ominous person, you forge the Immortal King’s Order and wantonly slaughter the innocent, this is the true betrayal."
Liu Yuansong remained unfazed, lifting his chin slightly, arrogance filled his deanor: "Han Hexiang, don’t let emotions blind you. Everything I’ve done was for the Underground City residents."
"Xu Wendong’s existence threatens the city’s peace, only by sacrificing him can this calamity be stopped."
His words sounded righteous, but were filled with hypocrisy.
His eyes revealed a trace of ruthlessness, seemingly proud of his own scheming.
Han Hexiang saw through Liu Yuansong’s disguise, he coldly laughed: "Liu Yuansong, do you think I don’t know your intentions?"
"You just want to take this opportunity to eliminate dissidents and consolidate your power."
"Your claim of being for the people is just a guise."
Liu Yuansong snorted coldly, angrily saying: "Han Hexiang, don’t falsely accuse . Everything I’ve done is for the city’s future."
"Since you’re stubborn, don’t bla for being discourteous."
With that, an explosive aura erupted from Liu Yuansong, a powerful force spread in all directions.
Han Hexiang’s eyes turned serious.
If he hadn’t been in an intense battle with the Shadow earlier, he wouldn’t fear Liu Yuansong with his power.
But now.
He was heavily injured, his energy severely depleted.
Even with all his strength, he might not be a match for Liu Yuansong.
At this mont.
Xu Wendong patted Han Hexiang on the shoulder, smiling and said: "Master, go ahead, your disciple believes in your strength!"
Han Hexiang’s eyes trembled sharply.
Although Xu Wendong’s action of patting his shoulder was sowhat disrespectful.
He was amazed to feel a trendous life force surging into him, instantly healing his injuries.
Even his energy restored to peak condition.
This astonished him, while his eyes revealed excitent.
Swish!
Without warning.
A dark red Immortal Sword appeared in Han Hexiang’s hand.
The sword vibrated slightly as if eager for battle.
His eyes were like torches, staring intently at Liu Yuansong, his aura surging like raging waves.
At this mont, the sky was covered in dark clouds, as if suppressing the upcoming fierce battle.
The howling wind sounded like wailing ghosts, making the atmosphere even more bleak and oppressive.
Liu Yuansong’s face was stern, slowly raising his hands, the surrounding air seed influenced by his power, forming small whirlpools.
"Today, I will show you my true strength!" Liu Yuansong shouted angrily, and his figure shot towards Han Hexiang like lightning.
Han Hexiang showed no fear, raising his sword to et him.
The two collided instantly, a resounding explosion reverberating through the skies.
Han Hexiang wielded the Immortal Sword, the sword’s power fierce like a storm.
Reddish Sword Qi cut through the air, carrying the power to obliterate everything, attacking Liu Yuansong.
Liu Yuansong’s movents were agile, dodging the sword qi like a ghost, while his hands continuously struck out, the palm winds surged like furious waves.
Each palm wind seed capable of tearing the air, fiercely clashing with Han Hexiang’s sword qi, erupting with thunderous roars.
The dark clouds in the sky grew heavier, with lightning flickering within.
"Han Hexiang, with just you, how can you be my opponent?"
Liu Yuansong shouted, his body radiating intensely, an even more powerful force burst forth, like the Milky Way breaking a dam.
It was as if an invisible giant hand gripped everyone’s heart, almost suffocating them.
