Chapter 4325

If he chose to back down now, James would have no choice but to remain in this realm and die

eventually.

James drew a long breath. Then, he directed his gaze at Halten, the Yaneiri King’s disciple, and

shouted in a steady voice, “I have come here today to kill the Yaneiri King, but before I do that, I will kill

you first.”

“Well, we’ll see about that!”

Halten tightened his jaw. He lifted his palm and conjured a few lines of inscriptions. Those glowing

inscriptions slowly moved toward the city’s protection barrier and fused with it.

A few seconds later, a sword formation appeared in mid-air right above the protection barrier. Multiple

swords of different shapes and sizes materialized from the sword formation. Then, all of those swords

flew in James’ direction the next instant.

Halten had used a rather powerful sword formation. The sword energy generated by each of those

swords was enough to take out a cultivator in the Permanence Acme Rank.

Before the swords had reached him, James shot himself upward and stopped somewhere a few

thousand meters above the ground.

As if they had a life of their own, the swords changed their direction and followed James closely.

James swiftly raised the Death-Celestial Sword and gave it a powerful swing. The immense power of

the black sword was unleashed instantly, and it managed to stop the advance of the swords coming

after James.

James unleashed the power of the Death-Celestial Sword a second time right away.

Those swords were sent flying in multiple directions and dropping to the ground due to the force this

time. Even the sword formation was shattered into pieces.

Halten knitted his brows. He couldn’t help but feel equally amazed and horrified by James’ powers.

“He’s strong…”

‘I can tell that he’s achieved the late stage of Quasi Acme Rank by his aura. He’s definitely not reached

the Permanence Acme Rank yet.

‘Also, there’s something strange about the sword that he wields.

‘Still, it’s undeniable that the man has a very solid cultivation base and incredible powers. That was

probably why he was able to destroy the sword formation.’ Halten thought.

“Destroy,” James muttered in a low voice.

He teleported and appeared right next to the city’s protection barrier. Then, he stabbed his sword at the

barrier.

Time seemed to have slowed down at that moment.

Then, a soft sound could be heard as a crack started forming in the barrier. In the blink of an eye, more

and more cracks were formed as they spread all over the barrier.

The barrier was destroyed in just a matter of seconds.

As soon as the barrier fell apart, overwhelming energy washed over the entire Yaneiri City, annihilating

every living being found in the city.

James could not detect any trace of bad karma even after he had wiped out the existence of so many

living beings. It made him feel more certain that the city was just an illusion created by the mysterious

realm.

There was only one man who was still alive and standing at that point.

“Impossible!”

Halten stared hard at the man holding the black sword.” You’re only at the late stage of Quasi Acme

Rank. There’s no way you have the ability to destroy the formation! Who are you? Our people have

never heard of anyone like you who’s capable of doing something like this…”

“Just come at me with what you’ve got.”

James had no intention of explaining his actions to someone who was created as part of an illusion.

On the other hand, Halten had lost his will to fight due to the shock of seeing what had happened to the

city.

“It doesn’t matter who you are. You will pay for what you’ve done to the people of the Yaneiri Empire!”

Halten teleported and vanished from the vicinity.

‘I must report this to Master immediately,’ Halten thought.
