Cultivation Online novel Chapter 667

Chapter 667: Fighting the City Lord

After killing the man, Yuan proceeded to the next floor.

‘His sword technique is really powerful… And it doesn’t consume as much spiritual energy as the Heaven Splitting Sword Strike.’ Yuan thought to himself as he climbed the staircase.

Upon reaching the second floor, Yuan encountered another man with the cultivation of a Spirit Lord.

“Who are you? What happened to the guard downstairs?” The man asked him with an unfriendly look. _{ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom}

Yuan didn’t bother responding to the man and withdrew his sword, as he was already expecting to fight anyone that gets in his way.

“Hmph. A mere Spirit Grandmaster.” The man didn’t say anything else and withdrew his weapon.

Their weapons collided a moment later.

Yuan decided to try using the Starry Abyss again just to make sure it still works.

However, just like the man downstairs, this one could also somehow track his invisible flying dagger.

‘Just how are they tracking my Starry Abyss? It’s invisible, and its presence should be concealed. How else can they track it?’

A few minutes later, Yuan managed to defeat the man without using the soundless blade technique.

And for the next hour, he would repeat the same thing.

However, his streak was stopped by an unexpected situation.

When he arrived on the ninth floor, the guard there didn’t attack him.

“The Lord wishes to meet you. You may go up.”

Yuan was skeptical at first, thinking that it was a trap, but the guard really allowed him to go upstairs without causing any trouble.

Now without anyone blocking his path, Yuan managed to climb to the highest floor in less than ten minutes.

Upon reaching the top floor, Yuan could see a figure sitting in the back of the room, and this person was wearing a black mask.

“Are you the city lord?” Yuan asked him for confirmation.

“Indeed.” He nodded.

And he continued, “Now that I have answered your question, allow me to ask you one of mine.”

“Who are you and why are you killing my people who have done no wrong?”

Yuan’s body trembled slightly after hearing such words.

‘Calm down… They are not real people. This is simply a trial by the Stairway to Heaven…’

He quickly calmed himself down.

“Because I have no other choice,” he responded a moment later.

“That’s nonsense and you know it!” The City Lord shouted in an angry voice.

“Enough talking and let’s get this over with.” Yuan pointed the Empyrean Overlord at him.

“Very well. If you wish to die, allow me to end your miserable life for you.”

The City Lord released his cultivation base, which shocked Yuan.

‘This feeling is… He’s a Spirit King?!?!’ He cried inwardly after recognizing this overbearing aura.
