Chapter 4050
James appeared outside the Hopeless City once more.He was not in a hurry to enter the city and unleashed his Divine Sense to
survey the surroundings.
Hopeless City was one of the Soul Race’s core cities, so it was protected by a powerful formation.
Usually, the formation would be inactive, but it was activated today.
When the formation was activated, every other entrance would be closed, making the main city gate the only way into the city.
Outside the city gate lay a treasure that could discern a target's aura.
If James were to get too close, it would scan his soul aura and identify him as a human.
It was created by the Ten Great Races to weed out and kill humans.
James observed the situation outside the city gate from a distance.
Seeing how heavily fortified the city was, he began feeling anxious.He hid outside the city, waiting for an opportunity.
A few days later, James was still in his initial hiding spot and had not moved.
A 180-centimeter-tall man in a black robe suddenly walked toward the city.He held a knife in his hand, and dragged its blade
across the ground, leaving marks behind.
A powerful aura erupted from his body, immediately attracting the guards’ attention Right after, thousands of guards rushed over
to him.
"It's...him?"
James, who was still concealed from afar, was surprised to see the man approaching the city gate.He was none other than
Bruce, who had slaughtered a prodigy of the Soul Race some time ago.He stood near the city gate and unleashed his intense
aura.He slowly raised his big knife, pointed it at the guards ahead of him, and demanded, "Bring your City Lord here, I want to
speak to him!"
Swoosh! A ray of light suddenly shone on the ground.
The Hopeless City’s Lord, Hutchin, appeared from within it.
When he saw Bruce outside the city gate, his face immediately turned black.
"I've been searching for you, but you took the opportunity to hand yourself over to me.
"Surround him! I want him captured alive."
The thousands of guards rushed out and immediately surrounded Bruce.
"Haha!"
Bruce burst out laughing as he looked at the guards.
"I came here with the resolve that I wouldn't leave alive."
After killing the Soul Race's prodigy, Bruce escaped to a safe location.
However, he learned that his village chief and the villagers had been apprehended.
In the end, he showed himself in order to rescue them.
The village chief and the others were captured because he acted of his own accord.
If he had not killed Soul Race’s prodigy, he would not have angered the Soul Race and his village would have been spared.
"I’m the one responsible for murdering your prodigy.
This has nothing to do with my village chief."
Bruce said, "The village chief and the others have been living in seclusion in a small village within the Soul Realm.They have
never done anything to oppose the Soul Race.Let them go.I'll bear the consequences of my actions."
Hutchin snorted disdainfully.
"Do you think you're in a position to be setting conditions?"
At that moment, Bruce’s aura sky rocketed and dispersed to form a terrifying magnetic field.
The guards’ faces became distorted once they faced Bruce at his full strength.
"You're a Quasi Acmean?"
Hutchin stared at Bruce in disbelief.
James also felt the aura from afar and was also slightly surprised.
From what James had heard, Bruce was a prodigy, but he had only reached the peak of a Nine-Power Macrocosm Ancestral
God.
He had not yet reached the Quasi Acme rank.
James looked intently at Bruce.
Soon, he understood what was happening.
Bruce’s aura was very unstable, and inconsistent.
He had sacrificed his own Blood Essence and soul to forcibly reach the Quasi Acme Rank.
Although he was strong temporarily, he would be incapacitated after the battle.
Even if he survived, he would lose his cultivation base and become crippled forever.
"This guy doesn’t even care for himself.He is willing to sacrifice himself to save them."
James could not help but feel worried for Bruce.
