Chapter 364: Chapter 364: Slaughtering the City Guards and Killing the City Lord

?

Most of the city guards were at the Spirit Body Realm, posing no threat to John whatsoever. The most important thing was that killing these guards would activate his Plunder talent, allowing him to restore his strength. The sheer number of guards in the town made it a perfect place for him to grow stronger.

The sound of sword intent rang through the air, the cold gleam of the blade flashing. No one could withstand his attacks.

Blood splattered, and the sound of screams echoed as more and more guards fell beneath his sword.

"Damn it, I will see just how strong you are!" The obese city lord watched as the city guards perished in droves, his expression cold and indifferent.

To him, these guards were nothing but ants. As long as his position as the Lord of Peach Town remained intact, he could always cultivate more soldiers in the future.

One soldier after another fell to John's sword. The town continued to send more guards to the battlefield, with even some of Peach Town's adventurers joining the fray.

They fought in order to gain favor with the obese city lord.

"Grandpa, do you think Big Brother will be in danger?" Spoorate looked at the old village chief, Jackey, her expression full of worry.

She was still locked in a cage. Several people had tried to open it, but the iron bars were too solid to break, leaving them with no way to free her.

"He should be fine," Jackey said, swallowing nervously. He had thought he understood John's abilities, but now it seemed he knew nothing about his true power.

Though Jackey was also worried about John's safety, he glanced over at the divine woman Debbie standing nearby and kept his thoughts to himself.

The divine woman's strength was not to be underestimated, and she had already acknowledged John as her master. If he were in danger, she would surely act.

The battle raged on, and the garden was now littered with corpses.

The obese city lord no longer appeared as calm as before. His brows furrowed as he muttered to himself, "Is it just my imagination? Why is this human growing stronger?"

He was shocked. After such a prolonged battle, more than a thousand city guards had died, yet John showed no signs of exhaustion. On the contrary, he seemed to grow more formidable with each passing moment.

It was as if his strength was endless.

"This can't go on!" The city lord's face darkened. There were fewer and fewer city guards left in the town. If they were all defeated, he would be in danger.

His eyes shifted, landing on Spoorate in the cage.

It seemed that this little girl was the human's weak point.

A cruel smile spread across his face as he raised his long knife with one hand. His obese body leapt into the air, charging toward Spoorate.

"You dare!" A furious shout echoed, and Debbie acted decisively. A pillar of light slammed down.

Boom!

The obese city lord barely managed to dodge, his large body rolling on the ground in a clumsy escape.

"Divine Woman, are you sure you want to oppose me?" He looked at her with wariness in his eyes, his tone carrying a faint undertone of threat.

Had he been at his peak, he wouldn't have feared Debbie in the slightest. But now, with one of his arms severely injured, his strength had been significantly reduced, and he knew he wouldn't be able to defeat her in a short time.

Debbie didn't respond. She simply took a step forward, positioning herself in front of the cage.

Her intentions were clear.

"Fine!" The obese city lord, tired of wasting words, shouted angrily and struck without hesitation.

He had to kill Debbie and control the girl before John finished off all the city guards.

Whoosh!

A violent wind howled as his attack became increasingly reckless, each strike aimed directly at Debbie's vital points.

Although his arm was injured, he still attacked with overwhelming force.

On the sidelines, Jackey and Anason watched with anxious hearts, nervous about the ongoing battle.

They were too weak to offer any help.

Fortunately, Debbie was a master of Holy Light magic, and a radiant aura enveloped her. Her white dress seemed to glow, enhancing her holy presence. With each wave of her staff, beams of light magic shot out, barely managing to fend off the obese city lord's attacks.

"Die!" The obese city lord snarled, his expression twisted in fury. He had noticed that no city guards were coming to his aid, and he had to finish the battle quickly.

He charged forward, completely unphased by the incoming light magic.

Boom! Boom!

The light spheres exploded around him, tearing into his flesh. His skin was ripped open, but the wounds were not life-threatening.

In a flash, he was in front of Debbie, his long knife slicing through the air with terrifying

speed.

Bang!

The force of the strike sent Debbie's staff flying out of her hands, and she was sent staggering backward by the tremendous impact.

"Hmph, daring to oppose me-such a shame for your beauty," the city lord sneered, taking a step forward as he raised his long knife for another deadly strike.

It was over!

Debbie's heart sank into despair, and she closed her eyes. She had underestimated the city lord's strength.

Clang!

Suddenly, a longsword shot through the air, knocking the long knife away. The cold blade scraped past Debbie's neck, and several strands of her hair fell to the ground.

It was John-he had killed all the city guards.

Debbie's eyes snapped open, her breath quickening with relief. Her chest rose and fell

slightly.

As she looked at John, who was walking toward them, his bare upper body covered in blood, looking like a god of slaughter. As he approached, something stirred deep within Debbie's

heart.

"Damn it!" The obese city lord cursed angrily. He had come so close he was just about to kill Debbie and take control of the little girl.

As he watched John slowly walking toward him, a trace of fear began to rise in his heart.

This young man was too strange. Despite not having comprehended any laws, and being at most at the peak of the Body Refining Realm, he had slaughtered thousands of city guards in

the Spirit Body Realm.

This was simply impossible.

Crack... crack...

John slowly moved his body, his bones cracking as they shifted.

In this battle, he had killed over seven thousand enemies. His attributes had recovered by 10%, and the immense power flowing within him made him feel invigorated and at ease. He looked at the obese city lord and spoke in a calm tone: "Fatty, your opponent is me." "You're looking for death!" The city lord growled coldly. The thing he hated most was when people mocked his body. "You don't have a weapon now. Let's see what you'll fight with!" With that, he kicked the longsword away, sending it flying across the ground. Then, with a furious shout, he swung his cleaver at John with all his might.

A violent wind howled as the blade came down with enormous force.

John stood calmly in place, a faint smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. He didn't dodge

or retreat. Instead, he clenched his fist and punched straight at the blade.

Boom!

With a deafening crash, the obese city lord's massive body was sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground and rolling several times before coming to a stop.

Meanwhile, John stood completely unharmed, though there was a small bloodstain on his fist.

It was almost impossible for an ordinary person to withstand such a strike with their bare flesh, let alone defeat a weapon with nothing but their body.

"No... no way!" The obese city lord trembled in disbelief as he struggled to rise from the ground. His eyes locked onto John, his voice shaking. "Y-You're a The Heaven criminal!"

It suddenly clicked in his mind. He couldn't sense any fluctuations from the laws around John, but the sheer strength and monstrous defense he had displayed could only mean one thing.

John was a The Heaven criminal.

The city lord swallowed hard, glancing over at Debbie, and sneered coldly: "As a divine woman, how dare you collude with a The Heaven criminal? Aren't you afraid of Lord Forest

King's punishment?"

Debbie furrowed her brow but didn't respond to him.

"It's over!" John shouted in anger. His body flickered, and in an instant, he appeared right in front of the obese city lord. His fist came down with a single, powerful strike-no flourishes,

just raw force.

Boom!

The obese city lord felt as though he had been struck by a falling meteor. His body flew backward like a deflating balloon, blood surging in his veins as the terrifying impact shattered his internal organs.

"You!" The obese city lord rolled over and spat out a mouthful of blood, unable to rise. He

struggled to lift his head, pointing a trembling finger at John. "Lord Forest King will never

forgive you..."

Crack!

John didn't waste any more words. With a flicker of movement, he stepped forward and crushed the city lord's throat under his foot.

The obese city lord's eyes bulged, his death was grotesque and miserable. Jackey and the others, witnessing the scene, couldn't help but feel their scalps go numb.

Even Debbie, who had seen many things, turned her gaze away with a sense of nausea.

However, Spoorate was brimming with excitement, her eyes shining with admiration. "Big brother, you're amazing!"

John merely smiled, then walked over to the iron cage. With a slight exertion of force, he tore

the bars open and released her.

"Ah, finally free!" The little girl exclaimed joyfully, not forgetting to kick the cage in

frustration before turning back to John.

"John, what are your plans for the future?" Jackey glanced at Debbie, then asked.

This incident had been too big-it had nearly wiped out half of Peach Town. There was no way

John's identity could remain a secret for long.

John wasn't afraid, but he was worried that Jackey and the others might be dragged into it.

He looked at Debbie and asked, "Will the higher-ups know about what happened here?"

"They will," she nodded, explaining, "Just like the villages below, the town needs to send a thousand low-tier crystal cores-or equivalent items-every month to the higher-ups." She glanced at Jackey and the others, understanding John's concerns, then continued, "But you don't need to worry about the safety of others. The higher-ups don't care about the life or

death of a town lord. As long as a new lord is appointed, this matter will be covered up." "Oh?" John raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "Can you appoint a new lord?"

"I can," Debbie nodded. She understood what John meant and raised her staff, pointing it

toward Jackey. The Law of Light surged, and a powerful beam of light descended upon him.

Jackey was blessed and immediately became the new lord of Peach Town.

It took him a moment to realize what had happened. He hurriedly spoke, "Lord John, Divine

Woman, my strength is too weak to command respect."

Although Peach Town was small, it was filled with experts. Jackey had been injured many

years ago, and his strength was only at the late stage of the Body Refining Realm. He could never intimidate the powerful figures in Peach Town.

"Don't worry, I'm here," John reassured him. He waved toward Anason and said, "Give me the crystal ball."

Anason quickly handed over the crystal ball he had been carrying.

John held the crystal ball in his hands. Although his Power of Laws wasn't fully restored, he

could still control it to some extent.

He guided a thread of Life Law into the crystal ball, followed by a powerful infusion of Earth Elemental Law.

The crystal ball absorbed the Power of Laws, its transformation irreversible. However, since John had comprehended all four basic elemental laws, the Earth Elemental

Law and the Life Law were inexhaustible for him, and there would be no loss at all.

As for the consumption of Life Law, it wasn't significant for him.

He handed the crystal ball to Jackey and instructed, "Village Chief, this contains both Life

Law and Earth Elemental Law. The Life Law will heal your injuries and restore you to your

prime. The Earth Elemental Law will help you cultivate. If you can fully refine it, reaching the sixth tier of Awakened One is well within your grasp."
