Chapter 771: Swift One-Shot Kill

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire venue erupted in an uproar.

Within the Imperial Capital defense line below, countless Great Xia Country soldiers who watched this scene through the magic guiding screens were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped to the ground.

Was this still that old monster from just now who regarded human lives as grass and called everyone "ants" at every turn? Why was he now whining and begging for mercy like a dog?!

Zhou Huai crossed his arms, the corners of his mouth curving into an ambiguous arc without speaking, just quietly watching his performance.

Seeing that Zhou Huai did not strike immediately, the Grand Elder thought there was a turning point, hastily swallowed his saliva, and incoherently explained:

"Right! It's a misunderstanding! A huge misunderstanding!"

"We… Our Dawnbreaker Guild has absolutely no malice toward the Great Xia Country! We were just passing by… Right, just passing through this airspace!"

The Grand Elder pointed at Zhao Qingcang and Lin Zhu not far away, waving his hands frantically, "We definitely didn't want to kill anyone! What happened just now was just… just sparring! Right, just a friendly sparring exchange!"

"Right, right, right! The Grand Elder is right!"

Beside him, Batu, the burly man who had condensed a hundreds-of-meters-tall Earth-element mountain just moments ago and almost shattered half of the imperial capital, was now scared so pale that his face was as white as paper.

The violent Earth-element Origin Law all over his body had long since shrunk back into his body, and the blood-colored giant axe in his hand had been directly thrown into the Void Realm by him.

Batu nodded frantically, smiling all over his face. The smile squeezed out from his originally ferocious and rugged face at this moment was ten times uglier than crying.

"Your Excellency, please examine the facts clearly!"

Batu patted his thick chest and chimed in loudly, "We were just joking with these two friends from Great Xia just now! Liven up the atmosphere, right, just livening up the atmosphere!"

"People from the old era like this way of greeting, we really didn't mean anything else!"

"Joking?"

Zhou Huai finally spoke.

His voice was not loud, but under the blessing of invisible Law, it exploded like thunder in everyone's ears.

The mockery in the young man's eyes grew even richer. He looked down condescendingly at this group of Ancient Remnant Clan members making fools of themselves, and suddenly chuckled softly.

"Hehe… Hahahaha!"

Zhou Huai's laughter echoed in the clouds, making Batu, the Grand Elder, and the others feel their hearts creeped out and a cold chill run straight down their spines.

"What a coincidence."

Zhou Huai stopped laughing, his eyes instantly turning icy to the extreme, resembling ten-thousand-year-old unmelted mysterious ice, exuding a despair-inducing killing intent.

"Actually, I—what I like most is also joking."

Zhou Huai slowly raised his right hand, pointing at the devastated super metropolis below where countless people were crying and howling in panic.

"You guys joke with the lives of tens of millions of Great Xia civilians, so how about I also make a joke with you?"

The Grand Elder's heart trembled violently, and a strong sense of life-and-death crisis instantly enveloped his entire body.

"Your Excellency! You… What do you want to do?!" The Grand Elder shrieked in terror, "We are Mr. Duan's people! Are you going to go to war with the great Mr. Duan for the sake of these worldly ants?!"

"Mr. Duan is a deity who has transcended the rules! If you touch us, he will definitely not let you off!"

By now, the Grand Elder could only pull out Mr. Duan, trying to use this only big Buddha capable of holding down the fort to save his life.

"Trying to suppress me with that old bastard?"

A trace of disdain and disgust flashed across the depths of Zhou Huai's eyes.

"Your Excellency! You, you cannot—"

The black-robed Grand Elder watched Zhou Huai draw his weapon, his legs turning weak as he screamed at the top of his lungs, "Mr. Duan is a Transcendent! If you kill us, you will be completely going to war with the deities—"

"Noisy."

Before this threat could be fully shouted out, it was interrupted by the two words spat out by Zhou Huai.

Abyss Dragon Xiao Hei beneath Zhou Huai's feet opened its mouth.

"Roar—!"

Accompanied by a Dragon roar, Xiao Hei opened its bloody mouth wide.

The black Abyssal Dragon Breath sprayed toward the Grand Elder below!

This was the abyssal fury containing the Quasi-God Level destruction Origin!

"No!!!"

The Grand Elder widened his eyes, forming hand seals with both hands, mobilizing all the remaining Origin within his body.

"Absolute Prison Shield!"

"Great Imperial Heaven Array!"

"Shenluo Shield!"

He erected more than a dozen SS-Rank defensive shields in front of him in one breath.

However.

In front of the Quasi-God Level Abyssal Dragon Breath, these defenses were vulnerable.

"Snap! Snap, snap—!"

The first defense was shattered in a second!

The fifth defense was shattered in a second!

The fifteenth defense still ruptured!

"Ahhhhh—"

Screams sounded as the black Abyssal Dragon Breath struck the Dawnbreaker Guild Grand Elder squarely.

His body was ignited by high-dimensional flames in mid-air, plummeting toward the ground.

"Whoosh—"

Accompanied by a trail of thick smoke, the Grand Elder's wails faded away in the fall, finally slamming into a primitive jungle outside the imperial capital with a loud crash.

Flames surged up, large swathes of trees turned into scorched earth, and the Grand Elder had no more movement.

Silence.

The altitude of several thousand meters grew quiet.

The remaining SS-Rank Experts and other experts of the Dawnbreaker Guild all opened their mouths wide, their eyeballs almost popping out.

What happened just now?!

Their Dawnbreaker Guild's Grand Elder, who was below one person and above ten thousand, wielding unfathomable power, actually… actually couldn't even withstand a single breath from the opponent's mount, and was reduced to slag in a second?!

"Grand Elder!!"

Batu, the burly man who had condensed a hundreds-of-meters-tall Earth-element mountain before, had his bronze-bell-like eyes filled with bloodshot veins at this moment.

Desperation, extreme desperation, spread wildly in the hearts of all the Ancient Remnant Clan members, but following closely behind was hysteria after being driven into a desperate situation!

"There is no retreat left!"

Batu suddenly turned his head, the muscles on his face distorted together due to extreme fear and madness, and he roared hysterically at the shivering companions behind him:

"Fight it out with him!!!"

"The Grand Elder has already been struck down. Even if we kneel down and kowtow now, he won't let us off!"

"Right!" Another tall and thin SS-Rank Expert in the team also had bloodshot eyes, pulling out the twin blades at his waist and roaring grittingly, "Dead is dead either way! With so many of us burning our Origin together, it's not certain we don't have the strength for a fight!"

"What's more—if we fail the reception mission and run back just like that, you all know Mr. Duan's methods! Going back is also a dead end!"

"Kill—!!"

"Blow him up!"

The dozens of Ancient Remnant Clan experts completely driven into a desperate path erupted with unprecedented ferocity at this moment. They no longer hoped to survive, only wanting to tear a piece of flesh off this Quasi-God Level Abyssal Magic Dragon before dying!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The sky was instantly lit up completely by colorful high-dimensional energy!

The violent Earth-element Origin, the lightning Law tearing apart the Void Realm, the extreme cold storm capable of freezing the Soul… The desperate strikes of dozens of S-Rank Experts and several SS-Rank Experts converged into a destructive torrent that could even erase a small half of a country from the map!

"Go to hell!!!"
