“Is that… a gem?”

    From a distance, Giller looked at the gem in Su Nan’s hand with a puzzled frown.

    But soon, he dismissed this doubt.

    What if the wizard is powerful? He’s still suppressed by Lord Hoch.

    Even with that beast to assist, Su Nan couldn’t possibly be a match for Lord Hoch.

    From the moment Su Nan appeared here, his fate was actually sealed.

    Surrender, or die!

    One can only say that young people are too proud and always think they are really great, not knowing that the world is much broader than they think.

    “You’re lucky.”

    Giller turned to Owen, chuckling: “As soon as Su Nan dies, the morale of the Blackstone City army will definitely plummet. Perhaps you can use this opportunity to strike hard against the enemy.”

    “The envoy is quite right!”

    Owen’s expression was equally enthusiastic.

    Taking down Su Nan may not resolve the current predicament immediately, but at least it provides a significant relief.

    Going forward, it’s not impossible to defeat Blackstone City and regain control of the Shining Lands!

    Thinking of this, Owen became very excited, his eyes fixed on the fight in the courtyard, eager for Su Nan to be killed by Hoch the next second.

    After a brief pause, the battle erupted again.

    Just as Hoch had said, Hidden Dragon’s stealth abilities were almost useless against him.

    Every attack, from phantom to material, was instantly detected and intercepted by Hoch while leaving several charred wounds on Hidden Dragon.

    “Hidden Dragon is barely enough to deal with a legendary knight right now.”

    “Unless it fully converts its bloodline to that of a draconic line, it should then have the power to battle a legendary knight.”

    Su Nan contemplated silently.

    However, with Hidden Dragon taking up most of Hoch’s attention, his situation became a lot more relaxed as he tossed a rune stone out.

    Boom!

    The stone suddenly exploded in mid-air, turning into countless winding lightning snakes that poured down, enveloping Hoch!

    The violent power slightly changed Hoch’s complexion. He retreated quickly while slashing a flame sword aura above his head.

    Crackle!

    Despite the quick reaction and the flame sword aura disintegrating most of the lightning, Hoch was still struck by the remaining lightning, stiffening for a moment, and the glow of his fighting spirit fluctuated violently.

    “What is this technique?!”

    Hoch’s face changed drastically.

    The power of that last strike was much more formidable than any of Su Nan’s previous attacks.

    With his flame elemental power and dual fighting spirit defense, he was actually injured!

    Yet reality left Hoch no time to think, as a second wave of attack followed when Su Nan threw another rune stone.

    This time it was an onslaught of countless dark, deep beams.

    Shadow Corrosion!

    Without even having time to react, Hoch was directly hit, feeling cold all over, as if a layer of invisible shackles was placed on him, his movements noticeably slowed.

    Even mobilizing his fighting spirit and controlling energy particles felt more sluggish, as if rusty.

    Not far away, Su Nan threw out three more stones.

    After thunder and shadow, fire, frost, and tempest swept out again, overwhelming Hoch!

    Against the legendary knight, Su Nan fully let loose, transforming into a human-shaped turret, continuously hurling out rune stones.

    In just four or five breaths, he had used up more than twenty rune stones.

    By then, Hoch was already stunned.

    He felt as if he were under siege by multiple legendary knights, with different elemental attacks coming at him constantly from all directions!

    Facing such torrential fierce attacks, he couldn’t even absorb energy particles to recover in time, and the glow of his fighting spirit was soon shattered.

    After enduring several waves of attacks with his flesh, Hoch now bore scars from frost freezing, wind blade cutting, and lightning burning, looking utterly disheveled, his previous battle spirit completely vanished.

    “Damn it!”

    Since becoming a legendary knight, Hoch had never been this embarrassed. Overwhelming anger made him explode with all his might, charging fiercely at Su Nan through the incoming lightning and frost.

    Then he saw Su Nan spread his hand, six rune stones glowing charmingly in his palm.

    “!!!”

    Never had Hoch wanted to scream profanities like he did at this moment!

    How many stones does this damn kid have?

    Unfortunately, it’s an answer he will never know.

    In the next instant, surging elemental attacks engulfed him!

    Boom!

    A violent shockwave spread from where Hoch stood, sending rocks and pebbles flying.

    Even Giller and Owen, who were far away, were pushed back several steps by the gust, pebbles stinging their faces.

    However, at this moment, the two were already oblivious to everything else, standing in disbelief at the courtyard center, mouths agape.

    How did it come to this?

    Clearly, Hoch had the upper hand just now; why was he suddenly beaten so badly by Su Nan?

    What the heck happened here?

    Whistle!

    The wind scattered the dust, revealing the situation in the courtyard center.

    Hoch lay motionless on the ground, covered in frost and scorch marks, already lifeless.

    Looking at the body on the ground, Su Nan felt a slight pity.

    The soul of a legendary knight could at least make a small soul crystal, but unfortunately, he still couldn’t extract the soul from a corpse just yet.

    Such a waste!

    Retracting his gaze, Su Nan turned to look at Giller and Owen.

    Facing Su Nan’s gaze, the two shivered violently, subconsciously stepping back, their faces pale.

    “Lord Su Nan, we can still discuss things, Marquis Jin Yan…”

    Giller stammered, his face full of terror, completely without his previous confidence and superiority.

    But Su Nan had no intention to waste words with him; with a flash of lightning at his fingertip, an electric gleam instantly pierced Giller’s forehead.

    This envoy’s eyes widened, collapsing to the ground with a face of horror and despair.

    Owen, frightened out of his wits, fell to his knees, begging tremblingly:

    “Su Nan, please spare me. I don’t want the title anymore, you can have it back, just spare my life, please…”

    Before finishing, he was hit by a Sleep Curse from Su Nan, falling unconscious.

    “Simply killing you is too easy; the place you truly belong is the execution ground.”

    Su Nan turned towards the city gate, patting the head of the approaching Hidden Dragon.

    “Go, break open the city gate and welcome my elder brother and the others into the city.”

    Hidden Dragon let out a shrill cry before disappearing from sight.

    Not long after, a loud bang came from the city gate direction, followed by war cries reaching the sky.
