Faced with the city lord’s questioning, Han Wu replied in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant. “Hei Qi damaged Everlight City and slaughtered its civilians, so City Lord Jin ordered us to capture him and bring him back to be executed.”

The city lord of Wushuang City glanced at Gan Xiangyu. “Is this true?”

Gan Xiangyu nodded helplessly.

The stunned city lord of Wushuang City turned back to Han Wu. “Wushuang City will handle this matter ourselves. Since you aren’t causing trouble without reason, I will forgive your crime of breaking the city walls. Leave now. If you dare to stay within Wushuang City’s territory any longer, I will kill you without mercy.”

The city lord of Wushuang City clearly wanted to protect Hei Qi. However, Han Wu couldn’t stand this, and he directed the nearly 9 million Small Locust Blades to hover behind him.

“Outsider, what is the meaning of this?” asked the city lord of Wushuang City, eyes narrowing behind their mask.

“It means if you don’t hand over Hei Qi, I will slaughter the entire Wushuang City!” Han Wu declared boldly.

He was from the Divine Civilization. Slaughtering natives of the Divine Weapon Civilization was no sweat off his back. Moreover, it wasn’t as though he was killing without reason. He had evidence on his side.

The twin swords in the city lord’s hands emanated an invisible pressure. “I was willing to spare your life, but it seems you don’t know what’s good for you. Since you dare to threaten my Wushuang City, don’t blame me for no longer letting you leave!”

With that, he swung both swords, unleashing two powerful blade pressures. Han Wu used Small Locust Blades to block the blow. It took 50,000 Small Locust Blades to neutralize them.

A peculiar force erupted from the city lord of Wushuang City, blowing away Han Wu’s 9 million Small Locust Blades like before. This pressure also pushed him and his group back.

Before he could stabilize himself, the city lord abruptly appeared beside him as if he had teleported, and a long sword stabbed toward Han Wu’s body. Fortunately, the Abyss Armor bought Han Wu some time.

Qin Shuang decisively unleashed Annihilating Lightning upon the city lord. Despite it being an extremely powerful elemental attack, it barely pushed him back.

The Abyss Armor’s durability dropped significantly, but it thankfully didn’t shatter. Han Wu became even more cautious than before.

“Han Wu, we’ll help you!” Qin Shuang and Sun Qingnian decisively released their strongest forms.

Qin Shuang borrowed energy from her true body to transform into her Annihilating Lightning form. Heavenrender power erupted as she turned into pure lightning.

Sun Qingnian transformed into a Nine-Tailed Fox. Each tail contained a Divine Weapon and inflicted heavy damage when he swished them.

The threat of two Heavenrender combatants had the city lord’s hackles rising. The twin swords in his hands transformed. The left sword turned azure, blooming with a hundred meters of light. The right sword turned purple as it limberly coiled and twisted like a snake.

These two swords easily repelled Qin Shuang and Sun Qingnian’s combined attacks. Meanwhile, Han Wu remained on the sidelines, carefully observing the city lord’s attacks and looking for openings in his movements.

The wide sweeping motions of the azure sword caused widespread damage with every swing. At the same time, the wily purple sword would attack from tricky angles.

“Attacking without defending... Are you too confident, or do you just think I can’t match your firepower?” Han Wu muttered to himself as he summoned his other Divine Weapons.

Locust-V popped out. Changing into its humanoid form, it recognized the city lord’s swords and immediately grumbled, “Heavenly Strike and Thunderous Flame! I have to say, you really know how to find trouble.”

Han Wu was already used to Locust-V’s talkative personality, so he paid no mind to its petulance. However, he was curious as to why Locust-V knew about the city lord’s Divine Weapons.

“Don’t ask me. I don’t know why I know either. I just do.” Locust-V shrugged. “I also know how to break through them.”

“Tell me,” Han Wu urged.

Qin Shuang and Sun Qingnian were already struggling under the attacks of the two Divine Weapons.

“It’s simple: suppressive fire. Give it no chance to attack. I can do that easily,” Locust-V bragged, hands morphing into gun barrels.

After determining the appropriate size, it unleashed a hail of bullets upon the city lord, forcing the latter to go on the defensive.

Seeing this, Han Wu summoned his other Divine Weapons and swiftly launched the Explosive Locust Blade over as well. Its explosion engulfed the city lord.

Han Wu’s other Divine Weapons also showed their strength. Stabbing the Heavenly Demon Spike toward the city lord, he activated Spiral Pierce, turning the Divine Weapon into a powerful drill. Its Sure-Hit effect meant it wouldn’t stop until it hit the city lord.

As the smoke and flames from the previous explosion dispersed, Han Wu was able to see the city lord of Wushuang City using his swords to block the Heavenly Demon Spike and Locust-V’s barrage.

This was the limit of the city lord’s strength. Not one to leave things up to chance, Han Wu threw the Shadow Nail at the city lord’s shadow.

The original Shadow Nail and over a dozen Shadow Nail clones pierced the shadow. Under the effects of Resonance, the city lord suffered significant damage in the areas where his shadow had been stabbed.

Not only was he injured, but Shadow Stun had also trapped him. The city lord could not move until its effect ran out and could only watch helplessly as Han Wu’s Heavenly Demon Spike destroyed his Heavenly Strike.

Spiral Pierce, combined with Deadly Venom, caused Heavenly Strike to shatter into pieces. Thunderous Flame moved to block Han Wu’s attacks in Heavenly Strike’s place, but there were simply too many to counter.

There was Qin Shuang’s Annihilating Lightning, Sun Qingnian’s Nine-Tails Fox form, Locust-V’s suppressive fire, and the Heavenly Demon Spike’s Spiral Pierce. Even the strongest Divine Weapon couldn’t possibly block so many attacks at once.

Moreover, Thunderous Flame wasn’t a shield and didn’t have high durability or defensive effects. Under everyone’s combined attacks, its durability quickly ran out, and it also shattered.

The city lord couldn’t resist their blows any longer. The Heavenly Demon Spike stabbed through his chest, and he fell to the ground, heavily injured. Although he wasn’t quite dead yet, it was only a matter of time before he succumbed.

“The destruction of Wushuang City will start with you,” Han Wu solemnly declared, directing the Heavenly Demon Spike to pierce the city lord’s head.
