Chapter 240: Finally recaptured
In the next moment, everyone saw the scarlet flying sword, which had flown back to Ron, circling around him. A layer of dazzling strange flames appeared in the scarlet sword light.
In the distance, Diaze had also looked shocked. At this moment, he seemed to have suddenly thought of something. His pupils constricted slightly, and a hint of fear appeared in his eyes.
He seemed to want to speak, but after a flash of his eyes, he stopped for some reason.
At the same time, the Dragon Flame Flying Sword suddenly plummeted. Under everyone’s incredulous gaze, it instantly struck the City Protection Formation of the Holy Light City.
A deafening bang sounded. The entire City Protection Formation flickered violently, but it did not collapse. However, a large hole had been pierced where the Dragon Flame Flying Sword had landed.!!
On the blade of the Dragon Flame Flying Sword, a ball of flames erupted in the next moment. A little flame turned into thousands in the blink of an eye, like an incomparably huge firework blooming in the air. Then, as if it had a spirit, it split into four torrents and scattered in four directions.
At first, many people were just shocked and did not know what Ron was going to do, but at this moment, many people finally reacted.
This was because the four directions where the flames had scattered were where the palaces of the four large family clans were. They were clearly trying to exterminate the four large family clans!
In the blink of an eye, the four flames descended like rains of fire into the four palaces. The flames fell into the four family clans’ palaces. At first, there were screams of fear, but a few seconds later, they all disappeared.
The four palaces and even the entire Holy Light City fell into an extremely strange dead silence at this moment.
Many Great Archmagi could clearly perceive with their divine senses that at this moment, a large number of auras had disappeared from the four family clans’ palaces.
A bone-chilling cold rose from the hearts of many. Even the Great Archmagi could not believe that the Nicholas family had really done this.
Furthermore, he had exterminated all four large family clans of the Holy Light City in one go. There was no room for negotiation. He had been so ruthless and vicious. Everyone looked at the figure of the young man with the astonishing aura in the sky, and a sense of reverence surged uncontrollably in their hearts.
At this moment, in the eyes of everyone, Ron was no longer the person who had the ability to increase his level at an astonishing speed. Instead, he was a terrifying existence who could kill two top Great Archmagi with a wave of his hand and wipe out the four large family clans of the Holy Light City without blinking.
In the air, Ron looked down at the Holy Light City below, not just at the situation in the four family clans’ palaces, but also the expressions of everyone in the city.
His expression was indifferent, and his state of mind was firm and calm. He had long come to the realization that the feud between the Nicholas family clan and the four large family clans could no longer be amicably resolved. Since they would not rest until one of them was dead, he had to eliminate them completely without leaving any future troubles.
Fifty years ago, when the Nicholas family clan was forced out of the Holy Light City, they had encountered many dangers. Previously, the four large family clans had even sent eight Great Archmagi to attack the Nicholas family clan. Later on, they hired the Mu Guang Pavilion to assassinate the Nicholas family.
It could be said that if there was just one misfortune, the Nicholas family clan would no longer exist. The cycle of the heavens and retribution would repeat itself. Today, it was just a change of status.
Ron did not want the hands of the other clansmen to be stained with too much blood. He alone would be this evil person.
In just ten seconds, the flames in the four family clans’ palaces flew into the air simultaneously. In the blink of an eye, they had returned the same way they had come. The Dragon Flame Flying Sword, which had been inserted into City Protection Formation, was also withdrawn with a sword cry. The magic formation flickered for a moment before returning to normal.
However, everyone knew that if Ron really wanted to, he would most likely be able to break the formation completely. The reason why he had held back was because there was no need to really break the formation. At the same time, he was sending a message to the others. The Nicholas family clan would only take revenge and not endanger others.
The Dragon Flame Flying Sword, which was wrapped in flames, flew back to Ron’s side in an instant. Ron slowly swept his gaze across the Holy Light City and said, “The feud between the Nicholas family clan and the four family clans has been settled today. From now on, there will no longer be the four large family clans in the Holy Light City. There will only be the Nicholas family clan.”
His voice was not loud, but it reverberated clearly throughout the entire Holy Light City. It exploded in everyone’s ears like a thunderclap, shocking them and making them unable to calm down for a long time.
At this moment, Ron’s aura was even more powerful than in the previous battle. It had far surpassed that of an ordinary top Great Archmage.
Only then did many people realize that Ron had not used his full strength earlier.
And at this moment, it was not difficult to guess the purpose of showing it to everyone. It was just to intimidate and establish their might.
Then, the powerful aura on Ron’s body quickly converged, and he retracted his flying sword and the Light Passage Sacred Flame. He looked up at Diaze in the distance and nodded slightly. He said, “City Lord, our feud with the four large family clans is over. Please let us enter the city and return to our family clan’s former residence.”
A faint light flashed in Diaze’s eyes, and thousands of thoughts ran through his mind. However, on the surface, he was calm and indifferent, as if he did not care about Ron’s extermination of the four family clans at all. He nodded and said, “I won’t ask about your private feud with the four family clans. Since it has been settled, let’s drop the matter. You can handle the rest yourselves. If you need anything, you can contact the local officials.”
Ron said politely, “Thank you for your help, City Lord.”
Diaze nodded slightly and put away the formation disc in his hand. The magic formation barrier above the Holy Light City also disappeared.
The entire Nicholas family clan returned to the flying ferry, and then the flying ferry slowly landed. It landed below the previous home of the former Nicholas family clan, and from today onwards, it would still be the home of the Nicholas family clan.
Seeing this, many people in the Holy Light City could not help but be secretly surprised. They had not expected the City Lord to really let the Nicholas family clan return just like that. He had not expressed anything about the extermination of the four large family clans.
Many people started to think quickly about how much significance the City Lord’s attitude had, how much it represented the benefits and trade-offs between the factions in the royal family, and so on.
However, there were also people who understood the difficulties Diaze was in. Now that things had turned out this way, Diaze probably had no choice but to seek stability. If he were to make things difficult for the Nicholas family again, it might not end well.
The performance of the Nicholas family was too powerful, far beyond everyone’s expectations. Even the royal family had to consider their attitude carefully.
An old man behind Diaze said hesitantly, “City Lord, is this really…”
Diaze raised his hand to stop the other party from speaking. His eyes flickered and he said, “Let’s settle this matter temporarily as such for now. Let’s go back first.”
As he spoke, his gaze seemed to inadvertently glance at the distant sky, and then he turned around and flew back to the City Lord Residence.
