Chapter 178 – Instant Annihilation! Eye of the Nether Wheel!

He spoke indifferently, drawing the attention of those swiftly advancing around him.

“There really are people here!”

“Strange! Just over a dozen of them… and they aren’t running even after seeing us?” someone remarked with a playful smirk.

“Too late to run now?!” another sneered. “They probably know they can’t escape anyway!”

“What should we do?” someone asked, seeking instructions from the High-Tier Super-Limit.

The High-Tier Super-Limit waved a hand dismissively and said coldly, “Just a dozen or so ants. Send someone to eliminate them. Don’t let them delay our journey.”

“Yes! That’s too easy!”

The surrounding Experts let out a chorus of eerie laughter. Immediately, over a dozen figures broke away from the main force, flying toward the building. Each wore a bloodthirsty grin, as if they had spotted prey.

…

Inside the building, Xu Xingchen stood with his hands clasped behind his back. Gone was his usual frivolous demeanor, replaced by a solemn expression.

Behind him stood over a dozen Xu family Prodigies of the Super-Limit Tier, their eyes gleaming with Baleful Aura.

“They’re coming!” one of the Xu family Prodigies growled, spotting over a dozen figures emerging from the dark cloud and heading their way. Each wore a cruel smile, treating them as prey.

“Slaughter them,” Xu Xingchen ordered calmly, as though he had become a different person.

“Yes!”

The dozen or so Xu family Prodigies let out sinister laughs and shot into the sky in an instant.

Every one of them was at the Super-Limit Tier. Individually, none were simple characters—they were the elite, meticulously selected by the Xu family.

In the air, the opposing city, unaware of Xu Xingchen and his group’s true strength, had only dispatched some ordinary Experts.

The dozen or so figures that had separated from the dark cloud were laughing and joking in the air, as if on a leisurely outing, completely unaware of what they were about to face.

Soon, the two sides met.

The dozen or so Xu family Super-Limit Tier Prodigies attacked with ruthless ferocity, showing no mercy.

The dozen or so opponents were horrified!

They never expected that this small group of enemies they encountered were all at the Super-Limit Tier.

Caught off guard, the dozen or so had no time to call for help from the massive, sky-obscuring main force behind them before they were annihilated! They turned into over a dozen streaks of blood-red light and were eliminated.

This sudden turn of events caused the approaching dark cloud to momentarily halt.

Countless Experts within turned to look.

They hadn’t expected that, even as their army swept forward, a mere dozen or so would dare to attack them.

Were they ants trying to shake a tree?!

“Over a dozen Super-Limit Tier fighters?” A High-Tier Super-Limit within the dark cloud swept a cold gaze over them, his expression icy. He then declared emotionlessly, “The army will continue its advance. I’ll handle their annihilation! Don’t delay our main objective!”

“Yes!”

Countless voices responded in unison. The dark cloud resumed its journey.

The High-Tier Super-Limit stepped out from the sea of dark, shadowy figures, preparing to annihilate the dozen or so Xu family Super-Limit Tier Prodigies.

“Fall back!”

From behind, Xu Xingchen, having taken to the air at some point, ordered the dozen or so Xu family Prodigies. He intended to deal with this High-Tier Super-Limit personally.

The dozen or so Xu family Prodigies nodded, chuckling as they retreated. They knew full well how powerful their young master was! A single High-Tier Super-Limit opponent was likely insufficient—it was practically a suicide mission.

In the air, fierce gales howled.

The High-Tier Super-Limit who had emerged from the dark cloud wasted no words. He attacked immediately, sweeping his hand to unleash a sea of flames that engulfed Xu Xingchen and the others.

The sea of flames was scorchingly hot, even the Spatial Barrier seemed on the verge of being burned through. Many buildings instantly melted into molten iron upon the slightest contact.

Xu Xingchen removed the black-framed glasses he always wore, and his eyes instantly turned pitch-black like ink.

At the same time, the world seemed to darken along with him, all light vanishing.

In the darkened sky, countless eyes emerged.

Their numbers were vast and densely packed, filling the Void. The sight sent chills down one’s spine.

“Instant Annihilation: Eyes of the Nether Wheel!”

Xu Xingchen’s demeanor transformed dramatically. His pitch-black eyes fixed on the High-Tier Super-Limit as he spoke emotionlessly.

With his soft utterance, the countless eyes in the Void blinked once.

Crack!

The next moment, the Void split apart, and so did the High-Tier Super-Limit who had unleashed the sea of flames.

The opponent wore an expression of disbelief as his body shattered like a mirror. If not for a Saint intervening at the last moment, enveloping him in a bloody glow, he would have truly perished!

Silence!

A High-Tier Super-Limit had fallen, so swiftly that no one had time to react.

The advancing dark clouds halted, shrouding the sky and casting the building where Xu Xingchen and his group stood into shadow.

From within the dark clouds, countless gazes of Experts turned in astonishment, all focusing on Xu Xingchen.

One move!

With just one move, he had instantly killed a High-Tier Super-Limit!

Such capability was not something just anyone possessed, and he had done it right before their eyes, eliminating a High-Tier Super-Limit from their city.

This was undoubtedly a harsh slap in the face, treating them as mere playthings.

“Young Master is mighty!”

Over a dozen Prodigies from the Xu family roared with savage laughter, looking up at the densely packed figures in the sky without the slightest fear!

Even facing over a hundred thousand people from an entire city, their eyes burned with a fierce fighting spirit, with no intention of retreating even a single step.

If the tens of thousands of examinees in Ghost Mountain City were to witness this scene, they would likely feel utterly ashamed.

Xu Xingchen smiled, standing with his hands behind his back. Facing over a hundred thousand people from an entire city, he remained composed, displaying the invincible bearing befitting the legitimate heir of the Xu family in this One Moment.

Such grace alone was beyond comparison with ordinary people.

“You seek death!”

From within the dark clouds, cold gazes shot forth as over twenty High-Tier Super-Limits looked over and then joined forces to strike out with a single palm.

Without a word of waste, they aimed to suppress and kill Xu Xingchen!

A spatial storm immediately swept through the Void. The combined strike of over twenty High-Tier Super-Limits could shatter the Void itself, all pressing down upon Xu Xingchen below.

In the Void, countless eyes reappeared, blinking and shattering the combined might of over twenty High-Tier Super-Limits.

But it clearly exceeded Xu Xingchen’s limits. Although he ultimately destroyed their combined attack, his chest caved in, and he coughed up blood violently as he staggered backward.

Even the black-framed glasses in his hand shattered instantly.

“Young Master!” The dozen or so Prodigies from the Xu family cried out in shock and fury, stepping forward to shield the severely injured Xu Xingchen behind them.

Xu Xingchen threw his head back and laughed, his white teeth stained with blood.

That he could withstand the combined might of over twenty High-Tier Super-Limits single-handedly was an achievement worthy of immense pride. At the very least, it did not disgrace his status as the legitimate heir of the Xu family.

Old Master Xu Chang would have to give him a thumbs up!

“Ant-like existence, what are you laughing at?”

At that moment, the dark clouds in the sky parted, and a figure stepped forth from within.

With the appearance of this figure, even the High-Tier Super-Limits lowered their heads and retreated to either side.

4th Revolution Giant!

The true guardian-level presence in this city!

“A 4th Revolution Giant?!” Xu Xingchen looked up, a trace of helplessness appearing on his face.

He could withstand the combined might of over twenty High-Tier Super-Limit experts, but he could not withstand the assault of a 4th Revolution Giant—the gap was simply too vast. Even if he was only a hair’s breadth away from the 4th Revolution Giant Tier, it remained an insurmountable chasm.

“Who did you call an ant?”

A voice rang out!

Xu Xingchen turned to look and saw a figure in white robes standing behind them at some unknown moment, smiling as he observed the crowd…
