Chapter 1287 1198: Arrogant
Faced with this palm from Governor Wu, Ji Congjing had no power to resist at all. Sitting on the carriage, she could only watch helplessly as that palm came crashing down.
Seeing this, all the Demon Cultivators around shook their heads nonstop.
They had already looked down on Ji Congjing; now they were even more full of contempt. As for Wang Yan sitting beside Ji Congjing, the Demon Cultivators didn't even bother to spare him a proper glance.
After unleashing this palm, Governor Wu's attention immediately shifted to the surroundings.
Because he guessed that once this palm landed, there were only two possible outcomes.
The first was that the Demon Wolf King was hiding nearby and would surely launch a sneak attack on him now, or step in to save Ji Congjing.
The second was that the Demon Wolf King hadn't come at all, and Ji Congjing would die here on the spot.
As that palm drew closer and closer to the carriage, no one appeared from the surroundings to save Ji Congjing.
At that, a cold sneer rose in Governor Wu's heart.
He immediately felt nothing but scorn for this mysterious Demon Wolf King he had never met.
Right then, the gigantic palm had already flown up to the carriage; at this point, even if someone made a move, it was too late to save that carriage.
Just when everyone thought Ji Congjing and Wang Yan were doomed, they saw Wang Yan, who had been sitting upright on the carriage the whole time, slowly raise his head. Facing the incoming palm, he lightly flicked his robe sleeve forward.
The movement was extremely simple and gentle. The soft sleeve collided with that astonishing giant palm.
But the moment they collided, the giant palm was like a high‑speed ball slamming into a solid rock. It suddenly rebounded at an even faster speed, flying straight back toward Governor Wu.
Governor Wu's attention had been on his surroundings the whole time, guarding against a sneak attack from the Demon Wolf King from behind.
He never imagined that right in front of him, that palm would actually rebound and come flying back at him.
Only now did Governor Wu realize he had made a colossal mistake.
The man on the carriage was no "male pet" at all; he should be that mysterious Demon Wolf King.
It wasn't just Governor Wu—everyone else also became excited. So the Demon Wolf King had been right in front of their eyes this whole time.
They were finally going to see an earth‑shaking battle today. They just didn't know how the Demon Wolf King planned to deal with that dog hole.
The gigantic palm flew toward Governor Wu. He wanted to cry for help, but the moment he opened his mouth he felt a heavy pressure crush down on his chest, and he couldn't force out a single sound.
Governor Wu was horrified. He knew very clearly how powerful that palm he'd just thrown was.
Yet now that the palm had bounced back, its power had tripled.
Governor Wu's face turned ashen. He knew he was no match, but since he couldn't dodge, he could only grit his teeth and take it head‑on.
He let out a roar, raised both palms, and rays of light surged up before him.
As the light faded, seven Magical Treasures appeared one after another in front of Governor Wu, layered in front of him as shields.
Only after sacrificing these seven Magical Treasures did Governor Wu finally let out a slight breath of relief.
But to be safe, he roared again, and a green Demon Pattern appeared above his head.
On this Demon Pattern, four Soul Stars could be seen slowly rotating.
The strongest fourth Soul Star was a cyan Saint Tier Soul Star.
With the Soul Stars manifesting, Governor Wu's aura doubled in strength.
Then he spread his hands in front of himself, and a layer of Demon Patterns rose from his palms, condensing into a shield that blocked his body.
Having done all this, Governor Wu couldn't help but exhale in relief.
As the Governor of Yunmeng County, he was actually a trusted lackey of the Meng Family, and he had seen the Meng Family's Three Heroes display their cultivation before.
So if he were facing Ninth Route General Meng Tian, these seven Magical Treasures would be enough to block one of Meng Tian's strikes.
Right then, the gigantic palm struck Governor Wu's first Magical Treasure.
But what happened left Governor Wu utterly dumbfounded.
That Magical Treasure he had always considered incomparably tough crumpled like paper under the giant palm. With just a light push, it exploded into powder.
And that wasn't all. After shattering one Magical Treasure, the palm was barely slowed at all and continued forward.
The remaining six Magical Treasures were just as fragile as paper; they all shattered in turn.
Not a single one of the seven Magical Treasures could block the palm in the slightest, and in the blink of an eye, it was right in front of Governor Wu.
Governor Wu was terrified. He could only let out a roar and pour all of his cultivation into his hands. All the Power of Demon Patterns in his body surged out, making the Magic Energy Shield before him incomparably thick.
By this time, the gigantic palm had already reached him.
But as expected, that immensely thick Magic Energy Shield was instantly crushed by the giant palm.
The gigantic palm grew larger and larger in front of Governor Wu, until it completely filled his terror‑stricken eyes.
With a deafening boom, Governor Wu was killed in a single strike. His corpse was driven backward by the enormous palm and slammed into the city gate.
The huge city gate was immediately smashed down, collapsing backward and crashing to the ground with a thunderous bang.
As the gate collapsed, the walls on both sides toppled as well, like a row of dominoes, rumbling outward in both directions.
The countless guards standing on the walls fell to the ground along with the collapsing masonry.
For a moment, screams rang out nonstop, but they were completely drowned beneath the roar of the falling walls.
As for that dog hole beside the gate, it had long since vanished without a trace along with the collapsed wall.
Even after smashing down the walls, the gigantic palm still didn't stop, continuing to ram straight into the city.
Inside the gate was a wide, straight avenue.
At that moment, countless Demon Cultivators were standing on both sides of the street.
These Demon Cultivators were trusted disciples of the Meng Family.
They stood on either side of the road, brimming with murderous intent. No doubt, if Wang Yan had crawled in through the dog hole back then, they would have immediately opened their mouths to heap humiliation on him.
However, the one they were waiting for was not Wang Yan crawling in from the dog hole, but the gigantic palm that suddenly blasted the city gate open.
The Demon Cultivators standing at the gate were swept up by the palm at once and turned into a pile of mangled flesh.
The Demon Cultivators in the back ranks descended into chaos, scrambling to flee.
But the gigantic palm was incredibly fast, crossing the entire avenue in an instant.
Even though the Demon Cultivators managed to dodge the palm, the huge whirlwind it kicked up immediately swept them into the air and smashed them heavily to the ground.
Amid the sound of bodies slapping the ground and waves of agonized screams, the gigantic palm reached the end of the street.
At the end stood a resplendent, gold‑and‑jade palace.
Everyone knew this was the Meng Family's residence, the very symbol of their glory.
Yet now this palace was shrouded beneath the enormous palm and clearly would not escape destruction.
Right then, an old and furious voice rang out from within the palace: "You're far too arrogant."
