The Black Market Chapter 180 - Massacre

Blood Three's body shook with rage as he swung his gigantic axe towards the Blue Cloud City's city lord. 

The air split sending huge shockwaves that a.s.saulted in every direction.

The Blue Cloud City's people who were watching the scene became horrified. Such strength! Would their city lord be fine fighting against a man like him?

The old city lord frowned after feeling that his body was constrained by Blood Three's overwhelming aura. He had truly enraged him, making Blood Three use all his strength in fighting against him.

The old city lord bent his body backward to evade Blood Three wild swing. He dodged the attack, but the resulting shockwave sent his fragile body hurtling towards a nearby building, creating a huge indent and spiderweb-like cracks.

"Baang!"

The old city lord shakily propped himself up. He spat a few mouthfuls of blood as he clutched his chest with his right hand. There was a long line of a wound on his chest, revealing a wrinkled but well-defined muscle.

'Just the shockwave from his attack already caused me this much damage?! What absurd strength this man has!' The old city lord was flabbergasted. 

Blood Three's speed might be somewhat slower for someone at his level, but his strength was many times stronger than someone with the same level of cultivation as him.

"Old man, you've got some skills for being able to remain standing after that strike. But for how long can you dodge my attacks? Hahaha!" Blood Three laughed mockingly while glancing at the city lord who looked like an arrow at the end of his flight.

The city lord spat another mouthful of blood as he shakily hovered in midair while holding his weapon tightly. Blood trickled down his lips, creating a sorry and weary image. 

Blood Three laughed cruelly before he swung down his gigantic axe towards the city lord. The latter sucked in a deep breath of cold air after sensing the immense power contained in the strike. But he did not remain stationary, he hurriedly distanced himself from Blood Three.

Blood Three smirked after seeing the city lord's action. His silhouette then vanished and reappeared behind the old man.

"Die, old fool!" He shouted in a tone that was full of condescension.

The city lord felt his heart tremble when he heard Blood Three's voice from behind him. He turned around and lifted his weapon to try blocking Blood Three's attack.

"s.h.i.+ng!"

"Rip!"

The old man's weapon broke in half before Blood Three's gigantic axe came rus.h.i.+ng towards his defenseless body. 

The old city lord was a veteran in many battles, but the disparity in their strength was not something that his experience could surmount.

In the nick of time, he moved his body to the side, but his right arm was still cut off from his body. If he had not dodged at that moment, he would have been cleaved in half!

"Aargh!" 

"Bang!"

The city lord lost his strength and his body dropped on the ground, creating a huge crater.

"It's your good fortune to see my Blink skill before dying." Blood Three muttered with a sneer.

After that, there were no signs of movement from the crater. It was unknown whether the city lord was still alive or not...

"City Lord!"

"City Lord!"

The remaining experts of Blue Cloud City cried out in alarm and sadness after seeing the plight of their most respected city lord.

The soldiers of the city lost their will to fight after seeing their strongest expert's defeat. Their eyes became soulless and blank as their motivation to fight back died down.

"Kill them all! Leave none alive!" Amro ordered coldly. He did not want to let them continue living as they might become a hindrance during the fight against Celestial Sword Sect's support.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Bloodcurdling screams resounded as the Blood Shadow Army killed all of Blue Cloud City's soldiers and experts. Even those who had thrown down their weapons to surrender were killed mercilessly.

The sounds of the weeping citizens reverberated like a solemn and downcast melody, creating an eerie and chilling air.

Burnt houses and destroyed buildings, everywhere there was a scene of a ma.s.sacre, but Amro remained calm.

He looked at the entire battle with a cold and unfeeling gaze. 

"In the world of martial arts, the weak had no room to live aside from being someone else's stepping stone. Only with strength could you gain the power and authority necessary in this kind of unforgiving world." Amro muttered to himself, his eyes revealing an indifferent glint.

"Swoos.h.!.+"

A faint swoos.h.i.+ng sound resounded from behind Amro. He calmly caught the weapon thrown his way. After giving it a glance, he was a bit surprised. It was the broken half of the city lord's weapon!

Amro leaped off of his Saber Fang Wolf and glanced at the bloodied man who launched a sneak attack on him.

Amro shook his head in regret. "You've got a tenacious life, old man. To think that you're still alive after receiving that kind of damage... What a pity, I would have invited you before if I had known your skills..."

The city lord's body was dyed red with blood. He was shaking uncontrollably as if a light gust of wind could make him crumble. His lips were quivering while his murky eyes had a reddish tinge to it.

"Yo-Your high-highness, this...this old man would only serve the...the Celestial Sword Empire's emperor..." The city lord said with a resolute gaze. 

His injuries might be fatal, but it could not stop his indomitable loyalty towards the Celestial Sword Empire.

Amro frowned after hearing his words. He revealed a cold look as he stroke the fur of his Saber Fang Wolf while gazing at the old man. "Since you're tired of living, I might as well feed you to my friend here."

The city lord glanced at the Saber Fang Wolf beside Amro. Its two fangs were dripping with saliva as it gazed at the old man maliciously. 

"Enjoy your food, my friend." Amro tapped the Saber Fang Wolf gently, signaling it to attack the old city lord.

"Grrrr!"

The Saber Fang Wolf snarled as it swiftly rushed towards the old man. The latter could no longer move his body and he could only look at the savage beast as it pounced on him.

"Arrrghh!"

The Saber Fang Wolf ferociously bit off the city lord's head and munched on it with a savage look in its eyes. After swallowing the old man's head, it then unceremoniously feasted on the old man's body.

Amro's heart was devoid of any ripple as he watched the cruel sight. 

An expert at the mid-stage of the Immortal-Cla.s.s level who was also the city lord of Blue Cloud City died in a humiliating way...
