"The onlookers seemed to have already guessed Fade's fate after seeing such a scene.
Death seemed to have become Fade's only ending.
Yolanda's face grew pale. She could not help but beg Hadrian, "Dad, please save Brother Chen."
However, Hadrian's face was qually pale, and he replied bitterly, "My strength is limited. I can't..."
Her facial expression turned even more miserable upon hearing that. She turned to Lemont and pleaded, "Lemont, I'm willing to marry you. Please, ask Mr. Gu to stop."
Lemont suddenly felt energetic after hearing that.
However, he remained silent.
He knew that it was not his place to stop Lingo, and even if he could stop him, he would never show mercy to Fade in this situation. To him, Fade was a threat.
Therefore, he pretended as if he did not hear Yolanda's pleas and ignored her request.
Just like that, the Remote Bronze Sword was about to land on Fade's body.
At that moment, Fade suddenly let out a sigh. Light erupted from his body as layer after layer of streamers continued to gather and eventually form a colorful rainbow.
The rainbow rose into the sky and crashed into the Remote Bronze Sword.
Bang!
The rainbow collided with the Remote Bronze Sword in a loud explosion, emitting a brilliant light. In the end, it exploded and turned into specks of light that filled the sky before scattering down to the ground.
On the other hand, Lingo staggered after being hit by the stream of positive energy. He stumbled a few steps back before he managed to stabilize himself from falling onto the ground.
Meanwhile, Fade stood across him, still standing in the same position as if he had not been affected.
Such a scene stunned all the people present at the scene.
Many people rubbed their eyes as they could not believe what had just happened.
"Is... Is this true? That kid has resisted Mr. Gu's Remote Bronze Sword Yuan Seal."
"What was that rainbow just now? How could it block the Remote Bronze Sword's attack? Could it be that it's his Yuan Seal?"
"No. That green sword was his Yuan Seal."
"Generally speaking, a Yuan Seal is a martial artist's trump card, and their most powerful skill. The rainbow is more powerful than the green sword. Thus, the rainbow is the real Yuan Seal!"
"But have you ever seen a rainbow-shaped Yuan Seal? What exactly is it? Is it really a Yuan Seal? If it is, what level is it?"
The crowd fell into a heated discussion. Yolanda had almost lost all hope just now, but right then, she became elated all of a sudden. It was as if she was riding on an emotional roller coaster.
"Brother Chen is fine. That's great. He's fine."
However, her excitement was quickly interrupted by a cold snort.
Lingo had stabilized himself, and he looked gloomy and furious.
He glared at Fade as he clenched his teeth and said coldly, "Kid, you really angered me. You must die today."
After that, he ordered, "City Guards! Listen to my orders. This thief has openly attacked the captain of the City Guards. Catch him immediately and kill him without exception."
"Yes, sir!"
In an instant, the City Guards' voices filled the air.
Then, they swiftly surrounded Fade.
Yolanda immediately became worried again.
Fade had succeeded in blocking Lingo's Yuan Seal attack, but in the face of the City Guards' siege, how long could he stand the attack?
Moreover, even if he was able to defend himself from the City Guards' attack, he would be listed as a wanted criminal. By then, they would send even stronger City Guards from the main city to capture him, and he would have nowhere to run.
Fighting against the City Guards was a death wish.
Just like that, the atmosphere became tense again.
Even Fade was worried about himself, and he frowned slightly.
Just now, he had used nine kinds of martial essences to counter Lingo's Yuan Seal.
That was the limit of his physical strength. After all, he was only at Stage 9 of the Physical Refine Realm, while Lingo was at Stage 6 of the Soul Refine Realm. There was a gap of several stages between their strengths.
Of course, if Fade had used the Ice Soul Pearl, his battle prowess would rise another level. He might even be able to fight against a martial artist at Stage 9 of the Soul Refine Realm.
However, if that was the case, Fade would also fall into a difficult situation. At that time, he would be hunted by the government of South Van City.
In this way, it was likely impossible for him to accomplish his intention of flying to the Earth Yuan World.
Considering this, he suddenly had the idea of retreating.
"Should I leave now and avoid the trouble? I don't want to cause more trouble."
While he was hesitating, Lingo and the City Guards had already surrounded him.
Lingo's gaze was filled with hatred as he stared at Fade. He held a long spear in his hand and gathered his positive energy, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to Fade.
Fade raised his eyebrows upon noticing that, and a wave of anger surged from the bottom of his heart.
"Let's fight, then!"
"Retreat is never a way out."
"Since there's no way ahead of me, then I'll find a way out."
In an instant, Fade was full of vigor and the urge to fight.
His soul energy surged in his mind as he mobilized the Ice Soul Pearl, a chill lingering around his body.
The battle was about to begin.
However, at that moment, a loud shout came from afar.
"Stop it!"
Gallop, Gallop!
A man riding a tall and strong horse rushed over quickly.
Finally, with a whoosh, the horse stopped outside the City Guards' circle.
"How dare you! We are here to arrest the criminal. Who dares to cause trouble?" Lingo lashed out.
However, the man got off the horse and said directly, "It's me. Are you planning to arrest me together with him, Mr, Gu?"
Lingo turned around and looked at the person's face, and his jaw dropped open in surprise. "M-Mr. Yarrow! How did you..."
The crowd turned to look at Yarrow in astonishment.
"That's the young master of the Gu family, Yarrow Gu. Why is he here?"
"I heard that Mr. Yarrow had gone missing for a long time and just recently returned."
"I heard that he has lost favor in the Gu family and has been chased out from the main city to satellite city."
"Haha! He's the young master of the Gu family. Even if he's out of favor, he's still much stronger than an ordinary person. We shouldn't worry about that." "Mr. Yarrow is here! Could it be that Brother Chen is speaking the truth? Does he really know the Gu family?" Yolanda asked in surprise as she immediately thought of something.
However, this type of speculation sounded too ridiculous, and everyone found it hard to believe.
"No way! How could Fade know Yarrow?"
"This must be a coincidence. Yarrow just happened to be passing by, so..."
Just as everyone was guessing. Yarrow crossed the City Guards' siege and walked straight to Fade. Then, he smiled and patted Fade's shoulder, saying, "Fade, you're here."
