Chapter 665: Clean Up Time
Kai dusted his hands lightly after killing the Protector, as if he had only finished removing dirt from a table instead of ending the strongest cultivator in the city with one punch.The entire execution square remained frozen in silence.Nobody moved or spoke.Even the wind seemed to have become careful.The Protector’s corpse lay broken on the cracked platform while the City Lord sat stiffly in his high seat, face drained of blood, lips trembling so badly that he looked nothing like the arrogant ruler who had been roaring a few moments ago. His grand purple robe, the golden pillars, the crimson banners, the guards, the execution platform, all of it suddenly looked like stage decoration around a man who had only borrowed power and mistaken it for his own.Kai slowly turned his gaze toward him and the City Lord flinched.Kai smiled.It was not a kind smile but a calm, almost lazy, but anyone with a brain could feel the danger beneath it.He raised one hand and pointed directly at the
Chapter 664: Three Strikes
Just as expected, a man walked out.He emerged from the tallest tower behind the City Lord’s viewing platform, dressed in long black robes with silver patterns running along the sleeves. His hair was tied neatly behind him, his hands rested behind his back, and his chin was raised in that calm, irritating way weak men used when they had spent too long being worshipped by people weaker than them. The moment he appeared, his aura rolled across the square, making many of the citizens gasp and step back, while the guards instantly looked relieved as if heaven itself had answered them.The City Lord’s eyes lit up with desperate hope. “Protector!”The man ignored him at first and only stared at Kai with cold arrogance. “You are the one disturbing the order of this city?”Kai studied him for one breath then chuckled.“So this is the weak-ass man you wanted to use to kill me?”The whole square froze.Even Abigail, still standing among the crowd, slowly lowered her eyes like she had expected
Chapter 663: Declared Innocent
The action left everyone shocked.For a few heartbeats, the whole execution square seemed to forget how to breathe. The huge execution knife had fallen from the executioner’s hands and was now buried halfway into the black stone platform, trembling faintly from the force that had struck it. Frost crawled along the blade’s edge, spreading in thin white lines that looked almost delicate, yet the cold coming from it made the executioner stagger back with both hands shaking violently. He stared at his empty palms, then at the fallen weapon, unable to understand how a weapon he had held firmly with both hands had been knocked away like a toy.Then the noise came.People started turning their heads in every direction, eyes wide, mouths open, voices overlapping into one confused wave. Some looked toward the rooftops, others looked toward the sky, and a few even searched the crowd beside them as though the attacker might be standing close enough to touch shoulders with them. The weaker cu
Chapter 662: Rescue
Kai glanced at Abigail from the side, his eyes still on the execution platform while the crowd around them continued shouting, laughing, whispering, and waiting for blood like this was some grand city festival instead of a man being murdered for revenge that should have been celebrated. The chained man on the platform stood weakly beneath the heavy suppression talismans, his shoulders low and body covered in old wounds, but there was still something stubborn in the way he held his neck straight, like even if they cut off his head, they would not make him regret what he had done. Kai watched him for another breath, then leaned slightly toward Abigail and whispered, “Do you want to destroy this whole place and save him?”Abigail’s eyes shifted toward him immediately. She didn’t look shocked, not really, because with Kai, that kind of question was already too normal to surprise her anymore. What worried her was how casually he said it, as if flattening a city square and snatching a co
Chapter 661: A Story That Turned Bloody
Abigail slowed her steps slightly and glanced at Kai as the crowd continued flowing toward the center of the city like a river of cultivators chasing excitement."You're really interested in this, huh?" she asked.Kai nodded without hesitation."Of course."Abigail looked at him suspiciously."An execution?"Kai shrugged."It's not the execution itself. We just arrived in this world, and we know almost nothing about the local powers, customs, or how people behave. This is information."Abigail raised a brow."You call everything information."Kai pointed ahead where thousands of cultivators were gathering."And look at that. Half the city is running there. Whatever is happening clearly matters."Abigail couldn't really argue with that logic.After all, they were strangers in a completely new world. Understanding how cities operated and how powerful factions behaved was important.Even if Kai looked suspiciously excited about it.Soon, they followed the crowd through several busy stree
Chapter 660: The City Lord’s Execution
After traveling for several days, Kai and Abigail finally arrived at the city.Compared to the villages and mountain regions they had passed earlier, the city before them was on a completely different level. Its walls stretched high and wide like a sleeping giant made of dark stone, with formation lines glowing faintly across the surface. Large gates stood open at the front, and streams of cultivators moved in and out constantly. Some rode beasts, some flew low on spiritual tools, while others walked in groups with swords on their backs and arrogance on their faces like it was part of the uniform in this world.Kai stared at the city for a while before nodding. “Finally. Civilization.”Abigail glanced at him. “You say that like you didn’t just rob a sect treasury a few days ago.”Kai looked offended. “That was compensation.”“You took bird food, baby bird food, emergency bird food, travel snacks, and something you called future emotional support fruits.”Kai nodded proudly. “See?
