Chapter 179: The City of Law and the City of Darkness

After bidding farewell to the empress, Ash came to a place in the imperial capital.

The Chonglong Empire naturally built strategic facilities such as teleportation arrays.

After paying the money, Ash stepped onto the teleportation array heading to the Central Region.

As the staff inserted an artificial magic core into the transmission hub, the array plate under Ash's feet suddenly appeared with silver light.

In an instant, Ash and the other guests disappeared on the teleportation array.

Thousands of miles away, when the sun was still shining brightly in the Chonglong Empire, the sky of the neutral city of Fa City had already been adorned with the moon and stars.

"vomit--"

The scenery in front of me suddenly changed, and then I heard a sound of vomiting.

Most people covered their mouths and looked pale, a few looked slightly ugly, and only a few showed no change in expression, but quickly walked down the transmission platform with disgust.

This is the impact caused by the sudden and drastic change in space. The principle is similar to motion sickness. Only a very small number of people with good sense of space are not affected or can suppress this adverse reaction directly with strong physical fitness.

Ash took a step and disappeared on the transport platform.

The city of law, the source of laws for all nations, is where countless law knights or law mages set out to propagate the law in various countries with the idea of ​​becoming famous or spreading the rule of law.

With such a reputation, there is no need to say much about the public security here. People do not pick up things on the road and do not lock their doors at night, which is a true portrayal of this place.

This was indeed what Ash saw, but it was only in the city. Some caves outside the city were full of demons, killing, rape, gambling, drug abuse...all kinds of ugliness could be seen there.

Ash didn't know why the City of Law kept these evil places around, experimenting, releasing, controlling? It didn't matter.

They're all going to be destroyed anyway.

Ash stood in front of a hill, then pushed hard, and a passage leading directly underground was created.

He had a saying in his previous life: If you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world.

He is now considered a successful person. He cannot help the whole world, but he can eliminate the injustice in front of him.

Ash jumped and went straight into the cave through the passage.

At this time, the alarm bells were ringing in this underground city secretly known as the Dark City.

When Ash opened the passage, he also created a loophole in the city's defenses, which naturally attracted the attention of the Dark City's top leaders.

They couldn't understand who dared to break the unspoken rules and invade this city when they had lived in peace with the Capital of Law for nearly hundreds of years.

But they soon found out.

A surging sea of ​​blood instantly engulfed the entire city. Blood puppets emerged one after another, following the orders of their masters and indiscriminately killing the people around them.

The law enforcer who was preparing to defend himself was suddenly horrified. There was no doubt that this kind of powerful performance could only be performed by a thousand-level extreme powerhouse or even a demigod.

What shocked them the most was the strong smell of blood in the sea of ​​blood. It was so strong that they didn't know how many people had to die for it to gather so much blood.

The grassroots law enforcement officers immediately wanted to escape, but found that the passage had been blocked at some point.

The middle-level law enforcers wanted to use space magic to escape, but found that it was ineffective because the space here had been locked.

A senior executive flew towards the figure in the dome and asked loudly, "Sir, please talk nicely!"

But Ash was in no mood to talk to them.

With a flash of sword light, the senior leader was broken into pieces and fell into the sea of ​​blood.

This made other senior executives feel a chill in their hearts. Now they could be sure that the invader was definitely a demigod-level powerhouse. The challenge level of the senior executive who just passed by was as high as over 900 levels.

Only a demigod could kill him instantly.

What made them feel even more chilled was the attitude of that strong man. It was obvious that the other party wanted to kill them all.

The problem is that they can't figure out how they provoked this powerful man. It can't be that the other party is doing it to enforce justice, and the City of Law didn't say anything.

And if justice really wanted to be enforced, the higher-ups took one look at the increasingly thick sea of ​​blood and felt that this person should be the one to be executed no matter how you looked at it.

The top leaders are hiding everywhere, waiting for the real boss to arrive.

Soon, within a minute or two, a black and white light attacked Ash.

Ash looked at the incoming black light and raised his brows slightly, because he sensed a familiar aura on it.

The inherent skill [Eye of Good and Evil] punishes good and evil.

Ash suddenly remembered a piece of information. [Eye of Good and Evil] is the signature bloodline skill of Truman, one of the two major families in the City of Law.

Of course, whether it is a bloodline skill or not is still a question mark. After all, he did not have the bloodline of the Truman family at the time, but he was still able to use it normally. From this point of view, [Eye of Good and Evil] cannot be considered a bloodline skill.

Looking at the incoming black and white light, Ash did not dodge or evade.

The black and white light sank into Ash's body, and then there was no sound.

Ash felt it and found that his body was not hurt at all, as it was directly suppressed by the [Eternal Sword Body].

As for the soul, it did suffer some shock, but it's not a big problem.

"Sure enough, the soul is the weak point. Now I can invest a little more in the magician."

Skipping his thoughts, Ash looked at the attacker, a knight in armor.

Through the mask, he looked like a middle-aged man.

do not know.

Ya Xiu took a long breath, and the blood and energy flowed into his mouth. He did not unfold Yinglong's true body, but directly activated his three heads and six arms.

His instinct didn't give him a great sense of danger, as it was obvious that the person in front of him was just an ordinary demigod.

Without any nonsense, Ash took a step forward and rushed in front of the demigod. His sword was as strong as a mountain and chopped down with great force.

The knight on the opposite side also frowned. He didn't expect that after Ash was hit by the Punishment of Good and Evil, there was no effect at all.

Faced with the six sword attacks, the knight swung his greatsword to meet them.

boom!
A meteor fell and hit the sea of ​​blood, causing a blood wave that reached the dome.

The top officials of Dark City froze in an instant, because they could see clearly that the person who fell was the real boss of Dark City.

escape!
This thought popped up in their minds. They couldn't even beat their own demigods, let alone them who were not even demigods.

The knight stood up from the sea of ​​blood and frowned slightly, because he felt the sea of ​​blood was sucking his blood and also because of Ash's terrifying power.

Where did this strong man come from? What conflict did he have with him?
There was no time to think, because Ash had already rushed in front of him.

The swords were like chasing stars and catching the moon. In just a second, thousands of swords had slashed towards the knight.

The knight wanted to defend himself, but apart from his successful defense which was like a blind cat catching a dead mouse, he took the rest of the swords.

The knight was shocked and terrified. He was shocked by Ash's superb fighting skills, which completely crushed him. He was terrified that if this continued, he might die.

The knight wanted to withdraw, but Ash was unwilling to let him go.

[All ten directions are destroyed]!
The destructive release of energy directly destroyed the "fragile" space. Hundreds of spatial cracks that could be cut by seventh-level metal appeared in this short moment.

They devoured the released energy and banished it to nothingness, so that the entire underground cave would not be destroyed.

Ash inserted six swords into the knight's body and tried to use fire smoke, but found that it didn't work on him.

The knight on the other side seemed to realize what Ash was going to do, and a look of shock and anger appeared in his eyes: "Dane!"

Because he and Dann are the only demigods who possess the [Eye of Good and Evil].

"You got the wrong person."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ash cut off his head.

Even though the knight was left with only his head, he still roared with the immortality brought by the divine fire: "Then who are you, Dane? Only you and I have the Eyes of Good and Evil here!"

"The Eye of Good and Evil is not exclusive to you." Ash thought for a moment, and the second body walked out of his body. He inserted his hands into the knight's brain and cast a soul-searching spell.

However, after becoming a demigod, even a warrior's soul is extremely powerful, and the memories transmitted by the soul-searching spell of the second body are intermittent.

But Ash has found what he wanted. This dark city is a place for people to vent their negative emotions.

The reason why such a place came into being is due to the factional differences in the Capital of Law.

There are now two major factions in France, one is the Black Hawk faction and the other is the White Dove faction.

The black hawks believe that the law is intolerant, while the doves believe that emotion is above the law.

The most fundamental difference between the two factions can be reflected by a question.

Question: A boulder falls and can kill everyone in its path. You have the opportunity to choose the direction in which it rolls. On the right is a road with pedestrians walking on it, and on the left is a restricted area with a group of people taking risks. Which side do you choose?
If you choose the right side, you are a dove, because it is better to lose one life than several. If you choose the left side, you are a black hawk, because the people in the restricted area deserved to die, because they knew that it was forbidden to enter but still entered, disregarding the law.

The birth of the Dark City resulted from the connivance of the Doves, because they believed that it would be easier to control the darkness if it was confined to one place.

This made Ash see more clearly the difference between the two factions. The White Dove advocated that the law should serve the strong, while the Black Hawk advocated that the strong should serve the law.

After taking back the second body, Ash looked at the knight, whose eyes were dull and had not yet recovered from the aftereffects of the soul search, and simply threw him to the depths of the sea of ​​blood.

The killing is still going on, and almost everyone here deserves to die.

This made the person who came over frown: "Sir, you seem to be going too far."

Ash looked at the person who was speaking and recognized who it was. It was Dane, whom the knight had mistakenly identified just now.

"Really?" Ash raised his six swords, "You want to come and kill?"

Dann frowned even deeper: "Some of these people are just here for fun, there's no need to kill them."

"You think it's unnecessary, but I think it's necessary." Ash was unmoved. "Drug addicts, gamblers, and scum should always be killed. If you want to save them, I'll save you. See if I can stop you."

Dann didn't hesitate, activated his skills and rushed down.

Ash stood on the dome and looked on indifferently, like a god looking down on the world.

Dann got close to the ground and found that the blood puppets were not really slaughtered, and some of them still survived.

But compared to the number of people who died, fifty is less than one.

A middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes fled in panic. Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure and shouted in disbelief, "Master Dane!"

Dann looked at it, thought for a moment and said, "Karel?"

He remembered this person, who seemed to be the merchant who provided food to his mansion.

Karel was immediately overjoyed: "It's me!"

Then he seemed to hear some noise, and his face immediately turned terrified: "Save me! Save me! Lord Dane!"

Dann looked behind him and saw a blood puppet in the shape of a fishman running towards him quickly.

Dann glanced at it and the blood puppet immediately collapsed.

Seeing that the blood puppet that had been chasing him and had no way out was so easily dispersed, Karel couldn't help but praise: "As expected of Lord Dann, you can do it with just a glance (Puff! A blood-colored fish spear pierced Karel's heart). Cough!"

Before Karel could finish his words, he fell into a pool of blood and slowly sank.

It was so fast that even Dann couldn't react.

Looking at the re-condensed fishman, Dann's face was gloomy.

He raised his head and shouted at Ash: "You're going too far."

The only thing that answered him was Ash's cold, almost sculptured face, which remained silent.

Dann soared into the sky. He realized that if he wanted to save people, he must first disperse the sea of ​​blood.

But it is impossible to use large-scale skills because it will kill other innocent people by mistake.

So he had to suppress Ash first.

Looking at Dan rushing towards him, Ash moved.

The three swords overlapped and then snapped.

【Five Mountains Town】

"Go and see for yourself!"

boom!
Dann was knocked away and fell into a sea of ​​blood like a meteor.

Snapped!
This time, he did not fight as loudly as the demigod he had just fought.

It was like an ordinary person falling into a swimming pool, splashing blood-red waves one or two meters high.

Dann stood up from the sea of ​​blood. The sea of ​​blood looked quite strange. He could step on it as if it were solid ground, but it actually surged and submerged objects like the sea water.

Blood and space?

Dann guessed, and was about to fly up to trouble Ash again, but he suddenly noticed someone next to him.

Turning his head, he saw three girls who looked to be only eleven or twelve years old looking at him in horror in the corner of the dilapidated house next to him.

Dann glanced at them, then his gaze lingered on them for a moment. Considering what Ash had said before, he immediately understood what had happened.

He sighed, then slowly flew up into the sky and said, "Carret is a good man."

"Whether he is a good person or not is not defined by you, but by me." Ash said coldly, "He also molested a girl, and you consider him a good person. Has your eyes of good and evil been pecked by a vulture? Chief Justice Dane Truman!"

"What's wrong with that if it's something we both agree on?" Dane frowned.

Looking at the puzzled Dann, Ash suddenly understood something. He thought of the note he had seen on the [Eye of Good and Evil] - the standard of good and evil is determined by the host's sense of right and wrong.

He also suddenly understood why Dann, a hawk, still allowed the Dark City to exist.

Because in his eyes, this underground city is all black, but in the eyes of people like Dane whose thinking is still stuck in feudal thinking, this city is gray, neither black nor white.

Ash suddenly thought of a joke from his previous life - the radicals thought they were more radical, while the conservatives thought the radicals were too conservative.

With a silent smile, Ash raised the six swords and said, "Forget it. It will take a while to explain to you people of the old times. If you want to fight, then fight. If not, get out of the way!"

Now he found the two and a half layers of black on Kahn's body dazzling no matter how he looked at them.

"Can't we negotiate?" Dann narrowed his eyes, and a mace appeared in his hand, along with a set of plate armor.

"Sorry, I'm a dove." Ash smiled, but there was no warmth in his smile.

It’s just that it’s not a dove of peace, but a dove of nuclear peace.

White Doves? Dane was choked. This is one of the biggest sources of income for you White Doves. Now you are killing people here, and you tell me you are a White Dove?
There is no point in saying more. If this continues, more people will die. Thinking of this, Dann immediately swung the mace and killed Ash.

This time, Ash was playing completely defensively because he wanted to delay time.

Dann is much stronger than the knight just now. If we calculate the ranking, he should be around 60 or 70, just one level lower than when he is at full strength.

That's why Ash didn't want to go through the trouble of defeating him. There wouldn't be much benefit. He just wanted to buy time for him to kill all the bad guys in the city.

Dann seemed to see through Ash's thoughts and his attack became more fierce.

But in the face of the future, this is just useless.

It is difficult to defeat him, but it is quite easy to delay him for a while.

Seeing that the number of people was decreasing, Dann could not help but said, "Sir, if you continue to kill like this, you will be wanted by the entire continent!"

"Oh, you're kidding me." Ash pointed his sword downwards, "If you dare to expose this, do you still want the City of Law to exist?"

Some things are trivial if they are not brought to the surface, but once they are brought to the surface, they are unstoppable.

Just like the Dark City, everyone knows that it is tacitly permitted by the City of Law, but no one can say that it is tacitly permitted by the City of Law, otherwise they will have to remove the word "Law".

This is something that neither the black hawks nor the white doves can afford.

It was this casual remark that made Ash realize that the handle was in his hand, so why should he resist?

His mentality was a little unbalanced just now, so let him forget about it.

"Stop, go back where you came from." Ash threatened with his sword, "If you come again, I will expose this. I have all the evidence."

This made Dane's heart sink. What he was most worried about finally happened. Wasn't the reason why he came to help because he was afraid of this? Otherwise, why would he care about the interests of the White Doves?

"Do you think you can leave now?" A gloomy and vicissitudes of life voice sounded, and an old man in a white robe appeared.

Zeddy Gavin, leader of the Dove faction, a demigod, is just as powerful as Dane.

Ash immediately found out some information about the old man, then sneered, "You can try, are you quicker, or do I have more ways to save my life?"

"What about me?" Another experienced voice sounded kind.

To the left of Ash's head, he saw an old man wearing sackcloth and carrying a cane appear.

Roderick Artes, the Law Weaver, is a third-party force independent of the two major factions. He is extremely powerful and is ranked in the top 20 in the world, close to the top 10.

He was more of a bystander in the City of Law, but Ash's words just now obviously made it impossible for him to just ignore it. After all, he was the one who built the City of Law.

"With you in the mix, it's indeed a bit troublesome." Ash dispersed his three heads and six arms, straightened his sleeves, and achieved his goal. "But it's not difficult to escape."

"So everyone, goodbye."
