Peerless Sovereign

Spirit Origin City was the inner city and outer city. The inner city was where the Great Spirit Imperial Family was located.    

It was late at night, and everything was quiet. A black shadow hidden in the shadows was gradually approaching the inner city.    

In the darkness, the black figure's eyes emitted a faint light.    

When they approached the inner city wall, the black figure was just like a shadow as he stuck to the top of the wall. Like a nimble snake, he quietly swam towards the top of the city.    

In the darkness of the inner city, numerous Imperial Guards stood solemnly. Even though it was already late at night, their figures were still upright and their mental auras were maintained at their peak.    

The black shadow quietly crept out of the city, and with a sudden movement of its body, it disappeared from where it stood.    

"Hmm?"    

On top of the city walls, several Imperial Guards turned their heads around, their eagle-like eyes sweeping across the darkness.    

It was as if they had seen a black shadow flash by, but when they looked closely, they did not see anything.    

"What's going on?"    

The leader of the imperial guards came over and snapped at them.    

The few Imperial Guards looked at each other in confusion. Only then did one of them open his mouth, "Something seems to be flying past here, but it's too fast, I couldn't see it clearly."    

"Oh?"    

The leader of the Imperial Guards swept his eyes across them and asked, "Did you all feel it?"    

The few of them thought about it and nodded.    

The leader of the Imperial Guards paled. If it was felt by only one person, it could have been an illusion. But if several people felt it at the same time, it couldn't have been an illusion.    

"Warning, search and capture!"    

The leader was very decisive and immediately gave the order.    

"Yes sir!"    

Realizing the seriousness of the situation, the Imperial Guards immediately took action.    

"Howl …    

A sharp and urgent warning sound instantly rang from the top of the city wall.    

"The Imperial Guards are warning us, what's going on?"    

"What's wrong …"    

"What happened? Why was the Imperial Guard suddenly alerted?"    

Within the inner city, countless lights instantly lit up and clamored.    

"Truly an elite. As expected of the imperial army!"    

In a corner of the inner city, a black shadow spoke softly.    

Right at this moment, hurried footsteps sounded out from in front of him. A servant of the imperial family passed by and rushed towards the direction of the inner city wall.    

In the darkness, an arm stretched out like a lightning bolt, and like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, it instantly pulled the servant into the darkness.    

"Where does Second Nineteen Imperial Grandson live?"    

A deep voice came from the darkness.    

"Yes …"    

Suddenly, a scream rang out, but it was only a single word.    

"Pfft!"    

A soft sound abruptly stopped.    

"He would rather die than say anything …"    

In the darkness, the voice carried a trace of helplessness.    

"Northeast direction, quick!"    

The experts of the royal family had noticed it and were rushing over.    

A black shadow flashed out from the darkness and flashed within the inner city like a light smoke.    

In the span of a breath, he had already left his original place. After passing through another palace, he pulled another servant into the darkness.    

"Still not willing to tell?"    

A few breaths later, the black figure slowly walked out. There was a trace of helplessness in his tone.    

The shadow floated within the inner city at a speed so fast that it didn't take the Imperial Guards chasing behind him seriously. Every time the Imperial Guards found a trace of him, he was already more than three hundred meters away.    

"Hmm?"    

The black figure tilted its head slightly to one side in the darkness.    

"His Highness Jin Xian ordered me to come here to inquire what had happened …"    

A faint sound could be heard.    

The black shadow's face couldn't help but reveal a trace of a smile. With the light that lit up inside the inner city, it could already be vaguely seen that the person was Su Lie.    

At this moment, Jin Xian was already sitting in the middle of the hall with a calm expression. However, his eyebrows were slightly raised and a trace of impatience was hidden in his eyes.    

Although he did not know what was going on, he felt a faint unease in his heart.    

"Reporting to Your Highness, someone has barged into the inner city. The Imperial Guards are currently searching with all their might, and they have already found the corpses of two close attendants."    

A servant hurriedly walked into the hall and reported to Jin Xian with a pale expression.    

"Who is it?"    

Jin Xian's heart couldn't help but tighten slightly.    

To be able to sneak into the inner city, the cultivation of this person must be extremely terrifying.    

"I still don't know. The Imperial Guards haven't found anyone suspicious yet, so the halls have already arranged for experts to help them search. It shouldn't be long before news arrives, Your Highness, please …"    

"Whew ~"    

A gust of wind suddenly swept into the hall, and the hall door closed with a bang. Before the servant finished speaking, a black shadow flashed and appeared in the darkness of the hall.    

The servant didn't even make a sound as he slowly collapsed to the ground.    

Jin Xian's pupils constricted. His cultivation had already reached the ninth level of the Earth Origin Stage, so his reaction was much faster than the servant's. He clapped his hands, and his body floated toward the inner room.    

Su Lie restrained his temper and followed the servant to find Jin Xian. Naturally, he would not allow Jin Xian to escape just like that. His body moved and almost instantly, he chased after Jin Xian Wei.    

"Who exactly are they? Their cultivations are actually this strong, why are they looking for me?"    

Jin Xian slightly turned his head and saw a blurry shadow chasing at an astonishing speed behind him. He couldn't help but reveal a trace of shock on his face.    

"Could it be an expert from the Tianyuan Sect?"    

Jin Xian instantly thought of a possibility.    

Within the borders of the Three Great Kingdoms, for someone to barge into the inner city so brazenly, other than the strong warriors of the Tianyuan Sect, who else could it be?    

"Has the matter been exposed?"    

Jin Xian instantly thought of something else and the expression on his face changed.    

The pressure that Su Lie was giving was too great. Although they had not fought, Jin Xian knew instinctively that he was no match for him.    

After which, he clapped his hands and numerous rays of light flashed within the room, wrapping him within. As he bent over and lifted his body, a hole appeared on the ground. He did not dare to stay any longer as his body slid towards the hole.    

Su Lie's gaze turned slightly cold. With a slight clench of his hand, the Kanni Sword instantly fell into his hand and casually slashed forward. In that instant, the light that was blocking his front was sliced apart.    

"A Rank 5 formation can't even withstand a casual attack from him?"    

Jin Xian's pupils suddenly contracted and his body rapidly slid down.    

"Swoosh!"    

However, at that moment, a sword light flashed and slashed at his waist.    

The sword aura was too fast. He didn't even have time to react before he felt a chill on his waist. He looked down and found that his three souls had left his body. His lower body was falling down.    

His entire body went limp, and the item in his hand fell out, causing his expression to change drastically.    

With a roar, half of his broken body actually exploded with great potential. His body instantly sank down, and he also sealed the hole on the ground in the blink of an eye.    

When Su Lie saw the object that fell to the ground, his eyes moved slightly. It was a ball of lightning that flickered with light.    

"As the ball lands on the ground …" "Bam!"    

The blazing lightning instantly exploded forth and expanded in all directions. In an instant, dense cracks appeared on the walls of the palace. The walls turned into countless fragments, and these fragments were still shrinking at an alarming rate … Just a few breaths later, it was completely annihilated, scattering out in all directions.    

Su Lie was still standing at his original position, but his surroundings were already barren. The hydrocarbon-phalanx armor had covered his entire body, the power of thunder and lightning was extremely shocking, but it had merely left a black scar on the hydrocarbon-phalanx armor like smoke.    

Su Lie's eyes were fixed on the ground in front of him, which was still in good condition. His footsteps slightly moved as he walked towards the place where Jin Xian had disappeared.    

"Over there!"    

Suddenly, his figure was exposed. The experts searching in the sky immediately noticed his presence and rushed over in a flash.    

Su Lie raised his head slightly and glanced at the figures flying over. Then, his body moved and suddenly chopped down with his sword. Dazzling sword light shone, illuminating everything within a hundred meter radius.    

"Chi!"    

The floor, which was half a foot long, had been cut open like a piece of white paper.    

With a shake of his arm, the length and width of the iron floor were both over ten feet, and the entire iron floor was lifted up by his hand.    

Beneath him was an underground palace, but it was pitch black.    

"Thief, you dare!"    

An angry voice suddenly sounded out and a figure instantly appeared above Su Lie. A huge axe seemed to split the sky open as it chopped down at the top of his head. A tens of feet large axe shadow instantly hacked down.    

Su Lie's arms trembled slightly as strands of sword threads instantly appeared out of nowhere and condensed into a cloud. An enormous sword figure slowly appeared in the center and a terrifying aura that could split mountains suddenly appeared on the sword figure.    

"Ding ding ding …"    

The axe shadow hacked out from within the sword cloud. After a series of concentrated light sounds, it instantly dissipated.    

In the sky, the expression of the approaching figure with the earthen yellow axe instantly changed as he quickly retreated.    

However, it was already too late.    

Amidst the sword clouds, a huge sword light flashed as it slashed out.    

"Pfft!"    

The Revealing Astral Realm expert used his gigantic axe to block in front of him, but the sword aura seemed to ignore it, sweeping past his body, without any resistance.    

"Ugh …"    

The Revealing Astral Realm Ranker's eyes instantly went blank, but in the next breath of time, his sturdy body suddenly split into two, with fresh blood spewing out from his stomach.    

"Ding!"    

With a crisp sound, the giant axe in his hand suddenly slid away. The surface of the axe cracked, and its section was as smooth as a mirror.    

"Ah!    

A series of exclamations suddenly sounded from the surroundings.    

More than ten Revealing Astral Realm Rankers had already surrounded them. However, Su Lie had killed one with a single move, and in such a violent manner, he had managed to intimidate them.    

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"    

Right at this moment, the sky above the entire inner city suddenly began to swirl. Dark clouds gathered, and four enormous figures appeared in the sky. Each pair of eyes opened and landed on Su Lie's body.    

"Four Spirits Demon Slaying Formation!"    

Su Lie's eyes swept across the four huge creatures and his brows could not help but slightly furrow.
