Li Changâan did not give them authorization.
The peach tree seemed enraged after being forced to move. All the faces on its trunk turned to look at the gun emplacements in the barbican not far away.
The next second, the peach tree extended a massive root and charged forward, clearly intending to first destroy the gun emplacements that threatened it.
Seeing this, Li Changâanâs expression grew dark.
This peach tree was extremely powerful. Not only did it possess terrifying regenerative abilities, but it also had considerable intelligence.
âIâll only get one chance!â
If he couldnât kill or repel it in one go, then no matter how much he hated the idea, his only choice would be to abandon the city and flee.
With this in mind, Li Changâan made his decision.
He activated his Barbaric Martial Saint talent and began channeling the Nine Heavens Chaos Technique at full power.
To prevent the peach tree from moving again, Li Changâanâs gaze hardened, and he shouted, "Chaos Realm, open! Stay put and wait for death! Donât you fucking move again!"
Before his voice had even faded, a hazy, blue-gray mist, like the wisp of Chaos Qi at the dawn of creation, had silently enveloped the peach tree.
The Chaos Realm was something Li Changâan had comprehended by observing the peach treeâs ridiculously rule-defying power, which was akin to teleportation.
But it shared the same origin as the Nine Heavens Chaos Technique.
Therefore, using it felt perfectly natural to him.
The moment the Chaos Realm enveloped the peach tree, all ten Super Electromagnetic Cannons, which had long since finished charging, aimed at the tree at the same time.
BZZZZT...
The power of the ten Super Electromagnetic Cannons was instantly cranked to its maximum, and arcs of electricity, almost tangible, flickered to life.
In an instant, all of Cangxuan Cityâs circuit breakers blew.
The once brilliantly lit city was plunged into darkness. In exchange, Li Changâan had unleashed ten thick beams of light, like bolts of Thunderbolt that could pierce heaven and earth!
BOOM! RUMBLE!
Deep violet beams of light illuminated the sky.
When Su Ruobing finished clearing out the troublesome grunts and rushed to the outskirts of Cangxuan City, this was the very scene that greeted her.
A look of confusion appeared on her face. After a long moment, she murmured in puzzlement, "Whatâs going on? The energy fluctuations from these light beams feel like theyâre nearing Tier Seven... Could Governor Hu have come in person? But Governor Hu is a Tier Eight Martial Artist. That shouldnât be it..."
Clearly, she didnât understand.
Her mind full of questions, she flickered a few times and appeared on Cangxuan Cityâs wall.
Hundreds of soldiers lay dead on the wall. Each one looked as if something had sucked all the moisture from their bodies, leaving behind nothing but a shriveled husk of human skin.
Su Ruobing glanced at the soldiers, her gaze pausing for a moment, but she said nothing.
After a while, Su Ruobing raised her head again and scanned the devastated battlefield, finally spotting Li Changâan standing in mid-air not far away.
And before him stood a massive, blackened tree, nearly a hundred meters tall, but with only half of its crown remaining.
She moved to Li Changâanâs side.
Su Ruobing sized up the great tree for a few moments, then asked, her voice filled with shock and uncertainty, "Is this the Tier Five Plant System special Extraordinary Beast that annihilated Panhu Town?"
Unleashing Domain Power, a feat that should be impossible for a Tier Four Transcendent, had taken a massive toll on Li Changâan.
Hearing Su Ruobingâs voice, he gasped for several breaths, his face pale as he said, "I donât know, but unless coincidences in this world can be this perfect, then it must be!"
The peach treeâs entire crown had been pierced by the intense electrical arcs. Its branches were burned to ash, and several holes, each meters in diameter, had been blown through its trunk.
However, in just a few short moments, the holes in the trunk had already mostly healed, leaving only a few head-sized openings still squirming shut.
Seeing this, Li Changâan couldnât help but suck in a sharp breath. "Is this thing a cockroach? Itâs still not dead after a blast like that?"
Su Ruobingâs expression was clearly more complex. She shook her head and said, "Itâs already dead. The wounds are only healing because its roots havenât completely died yet. After the Exotic Beast Tide is over, the Reincarnator Association will send people to deal with the corpse. You donât need to worry."
Hearing this, Li Changâan finally relaxed.
He returned to the top of the city wall.
Su Ruobing glanced at the charred tree trunk, then back at the deathly pale Li Changâan. After a long silence, she spoke. "Pardon my asking, but what is your current Realm?"
Li Changâan was panting heavily.
He didnât hide it; even if he tried, he couldnât fool her.
So he said bluntly, "I just broke through to Tier Four a few days ago."
At his words, Su Ruobing fell silent again. She didnât know if Li Changâan was telling the truth, and she didnât even know if she should be surprised.
She thought he might be lying because the power gap between a Tier Four and a Tier Five Evolver, even in the Main World, was immense.
And that wasnât even considering that the special Extraordinary Beast Li Changâan had just killed came from the Cave.
When this type of Exotic Beast emerges from the Cave, it can carry a chaotic power of rules, making it far, far stronger than an ordinary Fifth-rank Transcendent from the Main World!
As for why she didnât know if she should be surprised, it was because, if she recalled correctly, Li Changâan had only become a Permanent Reincarnator a few months ago.
Students who graduated in the same class as him should still be in their novice period right now!
And here Li Changâan was, already claiming to have broken through to Tier Four...
A Tier Four Reincarnatorâeven in the Reincarnator Associations of Kyoto or Shanghaiâwas undeniably part of the core force.
No matter how she looked at it or heard it.
