Chapter 467 Execution of Xu Tian

Gao Jinghao looked at Xu Tian in front of him, feeling a mixture of emotions. He knew full well how difficult this battle had been, and now that he had finally waited for a turning point, he couldn't help but sigh, "It's finally over." He then took a deep breath and released all the remaining Qi in his body without reservation.

As the three men poured their full strength into the barrier, the triangular prism began to slowly shrink. Like an invisible giant hand, it tightened, gradually closing in on Xu Tian's body. Xu Tian sensed the danger and struggled even more fiercely, waving his arms frantically, trying to break free from the shrinking cage, but it was all in vain.

As the barrier contracted, Xu Tian's space for movement became increasingly limited, until he was completely unable to move. Then, the top of the triangular prism began to slowly descend, until it rested firmly against Xu Tian's head. At this moment, something strange happened. Xu Tian's body erupted in a surge of energies, instantly filling the entire triangular prism barrier, staining the barrier, which had previously shone with mysterious runes, a dark purple.

But this wasn't the end. The dark purple triangular prism barrier began to shrink further. Parts of Xu Tian's body began to slowly emerge from the barrier. However, his struggles grew weaker, as if he too sensed the immense power of the seal. Everyone watched nervously, not daring to breathe.

As time went by, the triangular prism continued to shrink until it finally shrank to the size of a fist. At this moment, it rested firmly on Xu Tian's chest.

Finally, the seal is complete!

Xu Tian's body shook, and then he slowly knelt on the ground. He lowered his head, and his originally violent aura became weak and calm.

Gao Jinghao, Ming Zeshu, and Ding Junhao breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. They had been holding this breath for far too long, and now, the heavy weight of their hearts finally settled. The three of them, exhausted, slowly walked over to Xu Tian.

Gao Jinghao looked at Xu Tian, ​​who was kneeling on the ground, his eyes filled with a complicated expression. He whispered, "Success." This sentence seemed to have exhausted all his strength.

Ming Zeshu nodded slightly, tears flashing in his eyes. They had paid too much for this battle, and now they had finally won.

Ding Junhao walked over to Xu Tian, ​​squatted down, and carefully checked his condition. After confirming that the seal was stable, he stood up and said to Gao Jinghao and Ming Zeshu: "He has been sealed temporarily. I hope that this time, the problem can be completely solved.

Sunlight struggled to penetrate the thick haze, adding a touch of deathly silence to the devastated land. Gao Jinghao, Ming Zeshu, and Ding Junhao stood before the sealed Xu Tian, ​​each with complicated thoughts in their minds.

Ding Junhao's face was gloomy, bloodshot eyes fixed on the kneeling Xu Tian, ​​as if to slash him to pieces with his gaze. "Are you the one who killed our Ding family?" he grumbled, his voice trembling with rage. As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his right arm, and the zhenqi in his body surged like a surging tide, instantly converging into his right palm. In the blink of an eye, a shiver of zhenqi, emitting a chilling light, took shape in his hand. The edge of the dao shimmered with wisps of zhenqi, as if ready to cleave the air at any moment.

"It's time to pay the price!" Ding Junhao roared, a roar like thunder, carrying the resentment of dozens of wronged souls of the Ding family and his own hatred. With a fierce momentum, his knife-hand fell swiftly towards Xu Tian's neck. He used all his strength in this blow, vowing to kill Xu Tian.

However, just as the knife was about to reach Xu Tian, ​​a figure flashed by like a ghost. Ming Zeshu instantly appeared before Ding Junhao. He stood tall and straight, and despite the fatigue of battle, he still exuded a calm aura. He extended his arm, like an indestructible barrier, firmly blocking Ding Junhao's fatal blow.

"This is probably your fault," Ming Zeshu said in a deep voice, his eyes locked tightly with Ding Junhao's, a look of reproach and helplessness in his eyes. His voice was not loud, but it seemed to have an irresistible power.

Ding Junhao was completely enraged by this sudden obstruction. He glared at Ming Zeshu with wide eyes, veins bulging on his forehead like angry snakes. "What do you mean?" he roared, his voice making the air around them buzz. In his view, Ming Zeshu's obstruction was simply unreasonable and a betrayal of the Ding family.

Ming Zeshu frowned slightly, with a hint of pity in his eyes. "I just came to find Li Hua. It was your people who wanted to attack me. I was just fighting back." He explained patiently, trying to calm Ding Junhao down and see the truth of the matter.

Ding Junhao couldn't listen at all. He was blinded by hatred and was so angry that his whole body was shaking. His lips trembled and he could only utter one word full of anger and unwillingness: "You!" Before he could finish the rest of the words, he was interrupted by Gao Jinghao.

Gao Jinghao's face was solemn. He looked at the scene before him, feeling helpless and heartbroken. The once prosperous Lingyuan City had now been reduced to ruins, leaving countless civilians homeless and suffering heavy casualties. And all of this was inextricably linked to Xu Tian, ​​who knelt on the ground. "He has committed grave sins. He has destroyed the entire Lingyuan City to this state. He deserves to die." His voice was deep and firm, carrying the authority and resolve of a city lord. In his heart, Xu Tian's actions were unforgivable, and he must pay for his crimes.

Ming Zeshu opened his mouth again, trying to plead for Xu Tian, ​​but before he could finish his words, Ding Junhao interrupted him again. "Did you hear that? He killed so many people, causing immeasurable damage to Lingyuan City. He deserves death!" Ding Junhao raised his hand knife again, waving it in the air, as if he was going to bypass Ming Zeshu and kill Xu Tian. His eyes were filled with madness and determination.

Ming Zeshu was about to argue, but Gao Jinghao spoke again, his tone brimming with undeniable authority. "I will execute him." Gao Jinghao knew he had to make a decision quickly and not allow the situation to fall into chaos. As the city lord, he had a responsibility to seek justice for the city and its people.

Ming Zeshu opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but looking at Gao Jinghao's stern face and sensing the majesty emanating from him, he swallowed his words back. He sighed helplessly, a hint of worry in his eyes.

Gao Jinghao slowly brought his five fingers together, and the Qi within him, like a nimble dragon, rapidly gathered in his hands. In the blink of an eye, a brilliant Qi sword took shape in his grasp. The blade was transparent, yet the Qi flowing within could be clearly seen, as if imbued with boundless power. He took a deep breath, a flicker of determination in his eyes, and slowly raised the sword, ready to deliver a fatal blow to Xu Tian.
