155: Chapter 155 The Power of the Azure Cloud Demon Blade

On the ground, Zhang Yong continued to persist. Even though his body's energy was nearly drained dry by the giant lotus, he continued to pour energy into it. The giant lotus continued to rotate rapidly, resisting the black mist shrouding it.

"These people really are problematic. His energy is almost drained; a normal person would be at death's door if not already dead, yet he can still continuously output energy. This is too strange!" A trace of confusion appeared in Austin's eyes as he muttered to himself.

Meanwhile, Emperor Alexander suddenly returned to the Laiselo Temple. In the temple, the civil and military officials were still arguing incessantly, and Grand Duke James and Grand Duke William were still sitting in their exclusive seats on either side. For a moment, Emperor Alexander felt somewhat dazed, but in an instant, he realized what had happened. He lightly tapped the floor of the temple with his toe, and his entire being returned to the sky above the Lords Mansion.

"Ah!" Tang Xiaowei let out a painful cry as her body smashed heavily toward the ground. Xie Yanwen extended two vines and caught her steadily.

"Humph, overestimating your capabilities. Looking at you, you must be that old fellow Tang Changsheng's daughter. I heard you are skilled in illusions. You were supposed to be hunting down Wei He, so how did you end up mixed up with him? Does the World Destruction Alliance have no professional ethics left? Does that old thing Tang Changsheng have no shame!" Emperor Alexander roared angrily as he looked at the blood-spitting Tang Xiaowei.

"Ah, it hurts too much! It hurts too much! Let me die! Ah, I can't take it anymore!" Ravich wailed and howled in agony.

Wei He watched the suffering Ravich but was completely helpless. He had already mobilized the Red Alert Troops to rush over, but as he stood before Ravich, he not only couldn't help him, he couldn't even touch the edge of the enemy. In his rage, he drew the saber at his waist and slashed at the flames connecting Ravich to the Magic Array, but it was in vain.

In the air, Linlin condensed a Magic Array in front of her. Beams of holy light shot out from the array toward Austin. Another mass of black mist condensed in front of Austin, and the beams of holy light entered the black mist and vanished completely. Linlin's brow furrowed as she said in surprise, "I didn't expect that you, a dark magician, could even absorb holy light!"

Austin laughed triumphantly, "The holy light of a mere High-level Magician cannot harm me. However, reaching the realm of a High-level Magician at such a young age is no easy feat. It's a pity, a real pity that it all comes to nothing like this!"

As soon as Austin finished speaking, a cloud of black mist enveloped Linlin's entire body. Linlin's Magic Shield was instantly drained away, followed immediately by her own magical energy, which began to dissipate rapidly.

"Ah! Brother Wei He, save me! Ah! You stinking Old Man, you're bullying a girl!" Linlin cried out in pain.

"Xie Yanwen, send me up quickly!" As soon as Wei He spoke, a vine wrapped around his waist, and he was immediately hoisted into the air, arriving before Austin.

Wei He held the qingxia demon blade high and slashed down at Austin. Unfortunately, the blade struck Austin's Magic Shield with a series of metallic clangs, showing no sign of shattering at all.

"Hahahaha, I thought you had some great skill, but you're only this much! Lord Governor!" Austin laughed arrogantly. At the same time, he spat out a cloud of black mist that drifted rapidly toward Wei He. Seeing that Wei He was about to be swallowed by the mist, Xie Yanwen hurriedly pulled back the vine to retrieve him. Unfortunately, Wei He was still tainted by the black mist; his entire body instantly became weak, and blood began to flow continuously from the corners of his mouth.

In the entire Lords Mansion, the only one left with combat capability was Huang Yichen. He had been trying to trap Emperor Alexander with an Earth Wall, but it was shattered every time by Emperor Alexander's golden light.

Seeing that he couldn't harm Emperor Alexander in the slightest, Huang Yichen could only turn and rush into the black mist surrounding Linlin, wanting to pull her out, but he ended up trapped inside as well.

"Hahahaha, with this level of intelligence, you actually managed to fight your way to Laiseluo City? It's simply laughable! I am fulfilled today; with the three of you as nourishment, my power will increase significantly! Hahahaha!" Austin laughed wildly as he looked at the three people in the black mist.

"I didn't expect that we'd take them all down without even using a Forbidden Spell. Hahahaha! Where is that person of yours who can use a Forbidden Spell? Where are they? Why don't you call them out to save you!" Grand Duke James taunted Wei He on the ground. He believed the nuclear explosion that killed Grand Duke William was a Forbidden Spell used by a top-tier magician; after all, in his understanding, such a thing as a nuclear weapon did not exist.

Wei He felt as if he were about to die; his entire body felt as though it were being pricked by thousands of steel needles, and the pain made him double over. Just as he was in utter despair, the Red Alert Troops finally arrived. The first to reach were the Rocket Troopers; among all the anti-air units, they were the fastest.

Dozens of Rocket Troopers surrounded the three old men, continuously spraying fire while bullets rained down upon them like a downpour.

"Hahahaha, are you here to give us a scratch?" Grand Duke James said disdainfully as he looked at the bullets fired by the Rocket Troopers. In his eyes, such hidden weapons were beneath his notice.

"What should I do? What else can we do? I'm not willing to accept this! I must save you all!" Wei He forced himself to stand up, speaking slowly. The demon blade in his hand shimmered with an eerie light, as if waiting for its master's call.

"Ah!" Wei He gave a loud cry, and the green light of the demon blade in his hand flared intensely. Waves of blade qi slashed toward Austin. The blade qi struck Austin's Magic Shield with a series of sounds, but it did not break the shield's defense. Fortunately, the black mist connecting the three people was severed by the demon blade's qi, and the mist around them immediately dissipated. Linlin and Huang Yichen fell to the ground, and Zhang Yong retracted the giant lotus.

Wei He looked at the demon blade in his hand. Although he was somewhat dazed and didn't know why he could exert such powerful force, he had no time to think. He immediately swung the blade at the flames connecting Ravich and the Magic Array. The flames were actually cut through, and Ravich finally regained his ability to move. He immediately activated his magical energy, and a massive gale erupted from his body, instantly blowing out the flames on him.

"Run! Huang Yichen, take Tang Xiaowei and Linlin and leave first!" Wei He shouted immediately upon seeing everyone freed.

Huang Yichen grabbed Tang Xiaowei with one hand and Linlin with the other. A large hole appeared directly beneath their feet, and the three of them instantly fell into it. Then the hole vanished, and the ground returned to its level state.

"Humph, that little thief Wei He actually stole so many treasures, he even has a demon blade! However, it won't be that easy to escape!" Grand Duke James said viciously. Subsequently, clusters of fireballs appeared from his Magic Array, attacking the surrounding Rocket Troopers indiscriminately.

The Rocket Troopers' bodies were instantly engulfed in raging flames. One by one, they fell from the sky to the ground, resulting in violent explosions. Not a single person in the flight suits survived; all were sacrificed.
