Chapter 535: Chapter 532: Execute on the Spot

“Finally gone…”

Bai Pu took a breath, released the state of [Demon Power Release], countless armor plates disassembled and merged, forming once again into the shape of a dark gold shield.

At this moment, the demon power value of the dark gold shield had dropped to less than two hundred points. In the next ten seconds at most, the state of demon power release would end.

No one used space-locking abilities like bloody artifacts on the Dragon King to prevent him from leaving.

For top-tier powerhouses like the Dragon King, they surely have formidable life-preserving trump cards.

Though Xiang Yinghua also had officially granted trump card techniques, neither side had reached a point where they had to go all-in with their trump cards. Moreover, they were both wary that once the other’s trump card was revealed, it might be larger than theirs, or even have restraining effects.

The task Xiang Yinghua received was to assist Bai Pu in taking over Celestial Residence and capturing some wanted criminals from the Star-Picking Tower.

This did not include the Dragon King.

The Dragon King’s escape was indeed welcome for Bai Pu and Xiang Yinghua.

From the Dragon King’s perspective, although he was a banner of the Star-Picking Tower, his status was extraordinary.

In the entire Wu Clan, the Dragon King’s standing was even above that of the Wu Brothers! He could solve some troubles for the Wu Brothers, but he wouldn’t risk his life for them.

The moment the Dragon King left, Xiang Yinghua used a bloody artifact: Gladiatorial Arena, confining the space over a large area!

A group of Star-Picking Tower Awakened trying to flee bumped into the wall.

“Give up resisting, or be executed on the spot!”

Xiang Yinghua shouted loudly.

Bai Pu remained silent, the Sandfall Domain “Deformation” triggered, extending a cone-shaped area of sand and dust to swiftly envelop a group of Star-Picking Tower experts.

“Hmph, I’ve killed so many civilians, if I were to stand trial in the Awakened court, it would be enough to die a hundred times! Asking me to surrender, you must be dreaming.”

S-level fugitive Taiyin said coldly.

Other S-level fugitive Eternal Frost and several A-level fugitives, unleashed their ferocity, not retreating but advancing, charging towards the [Natural Shelter] barrier.

Earlier, when Bai Pu and the Dragon King were in a fierce battle, they hadn’t come over to attack, as they had absolute confidence in the Dragon King.

In their view, the Dragon King would definitely swiftly defeat Bai Pu, then break the barrier from within, leading to a massacre of the special forces team.

Yet, they didn’t expect that the one to escape in the end would be the Dragon King.

Of course, the [Natural Shelter] barrier had a time limit, dissipating after five minutes, so these Awakened didn’t want to waste their strength.

“Kill!”

The Secret Arrow Shooters began firing in unison, picking off targets one by one.

Bai Pu had been beaten unilaterally by the Dragon King for a long time, any ordinary Level 7 Heroic Profession would have experienced energy depletion long ago. But he cultivated the Sandfall Demon Fighting Qi, with a large reserve of fighting qi, and equipped with the [Iron Wall Knee Guards] skill to save energy consumption, at this moment he still had about one-third left.

One-third, about 600 points.

Roughly equivalent to the energy cap of a Level 6 Heroic Profession.

Bai Pu drank a bottle of Strong Energy Potion and then consumed an Honor Energy Potion (Lieutenant), restoring a total of 700 points of fighting qi, increasing the remaining fighting qi to 1300!

He continued to support the coverage of the Sandfall Domain, while still having the strength to perform Gang Step, sprinting ahead.

As the effect of Natural Shelter gradually dissipated, Bai Pu naturally positioned himself in front of the fragile Secret Arrow Shooter unit, to fend off the opponent’s attacks.

“Tidal Impact!”

“Star Freeze!”

Taiyin and Eternal Frost simultaneously deployed their large-scale, powerful skills, targeting the Secret Arrow Shooter unit.

They also understood Bai Pu’s astonishing resilience, choosing not to waste skills on him, eliminating the Secret Arrow Shooter unit first had the highest cost-effectiveness.

However, Bai Pu, relying on Magic Sand, cast the wide-range “Earth Wall Technique,” causing a sturdy high wall to surge up from the ground.

The tidal waves of water and the freezing cold only managed to freeze the high wall.

Eternal Frost released the second special effect of “Star Freeze”: Star Dust Burst, but it only caused the frozen earth wall to crumble and collapse.

“How can he also use magic! This level… is at least of an Intermediate Mage’s standard!” Taiyin exclaimed in shock and anger.

The term Intermediate Mage here refers to the level grading of mages in the Spirit Realm’s commonly recognized western fantasy settings, not limited to the Demon Fighting World.

Currently, the progress of Bai Pu’s earth element magic had indeed reached the intermediate level, honed through his arduous practice of the [Demon Refining Sand] skill. As for wind element magic progress, it remained at the low level.

The Intermediate Mage level Earth Wall Technique, mastery-level Mountain Shattering Mystical Arts, along with elemental attribute advantages, successively blocked Taiyin and Eternal Frost’s prized skills.

The best part was that the earth element magic cast relying on “Magic Sand” drastically reduced consumption, without diminishing its power.

Bai Pu ignored the astonishment of the Star-Picking Tower Awakened, casting “Mud Technique” once more to further reduce the opponent’s movement speed, turning them into living targets.

Then, with a great leap, he charged into the crowd of Star-Picking Tower Awakened, changing the Sandfall Domain to a circular coverage, slashing with a sword!

These Star-Picking Tower Awakened, even with long-range attack capabilities, dared not ignore Bai Pu to attack the Secret Arrow Shooter unit, they had no choice but to use their skills on Bai Pu.

In a flurry, various colors of energy auras and various forms of long-range attacks and skills, all targeted Bai Pu.

Bai Pu dodged most of the attacks using his speed, the last few attacks landed on him, his body paused.

The Star-Picking Tower Awakened held a glimmer of hope, so many attacking at once, even if it were iron, it should melt, right?

Then they saw Bai Pu’s blood bar—according to the rules of Spirit Realm Will, attacking the opponent would reveal their blood bar, which typically remained unseen.

Unmoved.

“What is going on?”

“Is this guy cheating?”

Before their words faded, “crack crack” sounds appeared on Bai Pu’s body’s surface, showing thin cracks.

Cracks also appeared on his face, like a porcelain vase with fractures.

“Indeed, the concentrated fire of advanced Awakened cannot be underestimated… One round of focused fire consumed seventy percent of my magical power from the Magic Sand!”

Bai Pu’s skin surface, the Armor of Sand drifted away with the wind.

He accelerated and charged in front of Eternal Frost, slashing out with his sword!

The ice shield on Eternal Frost’s body shattered with one hit, as fragile as paper. Immediately after, his chest was struck heavily, lifted high by the chainsaw greatsword, and forcefully thrown to the ground!

The Three Kingdoms technique was executed, Eternal Frost’s body was cut into four pieces by three sharp qi forces on the spot! The shockwave spread, the sharp qi force extended, once again applying a slow effect to the surrounding Awakened.

The next volley from the Secret Arrow Shooter unit simultaneously eliminated another S-level criminal—Taiyin.

Originally, Taiyin was proud of his Flowing Water Body Technique – Glide Special Effect, allowing him to cast spells at an extremely high speed, but in the Sandfall Domain, he was unable to perform, his weakness of low agility exposed, meeting a tragic end under the concentrated fire of the Secret Arrow Shooters!
