Man on the ark, forced to become king

"Ladies, could you please stay here for a while? Don't worry, you will be safe for the time being."

A sinister smile appeared on the face of the Liboli man, yet his actions remained impeccably polite.

As he finished speaking, four people shrouded in black cloaks emerged from the shadows, and a pale purple glow rose from the surroundings, enveloping the explosion ruins.

Seeing this situation, Chen's heart sank, realizing that it would be difficult to escape unscathed today.

Moreover, she had a rough idea of ​​the other party's purpose.

These people didn't continue fighting after firing their crossbow bolts, probably because they were dealing with Graytail, who had come to investigate.

They wanted to trap her and Jiudu here to lure in reinforcements from the Guard Bureau and Gray Tail, and then... wipe them all out!

If they can produce two Originium bombs, they might have more. Using their own lives as bait, they might still succeed. If there are more Originium bombs hidden around here, even killing them would be useless. Whether it's Graytail or the Guard Bureau, everyone gathered here could be blown to bits by the exploding Originium bombs!

It's a very simple and straightforward plan, but the simpler it is, the more effective it often is.

"List."

Suddenly, Jiu murmured something, gave a wink, and raised her arm slightly, pointing her fingertips toward her chest. Chen immediately understood what she wanted to do—she wanted to destroy the locator placed in her chest pocket.

Every officer in the Guard carries a tracking device when on field duty. Its function is very simple: to provide the approximate location of each officer when needed by Guard headquarters, and to send an alert if the wearer's vital signs completely disappear.

Once that device is destroyed, the Guard Bureau will become aware of the danger in this area and will not approach rashly.

This realization is called death.

It's cruel, but it's the only effective approach right now.

"superior."

Chen uttered a single word, and almost simultaneously, both of their hands slid to their chests, gripped their pockets, and crushed the tracking device inside!

Following closely behind was a dazzling display of blood-red flames and sword light.

The Crimson Sky Sword Technique is not only usable with the Crimson Sky Sword.

"why why!"

Slen's face suddenly darkened. Although he didn't know what the two women had done, he knew with a grain of salt that it couldn't be anything good. This caused the anger that had been suppressed in his heart to finally erupt.

Why are they all so disobedient? Why doesn't anyone do what he says?

Why not just obey and then die?

Why don't you listen to me!

The man roared madly, his pupils completely filled with blood, and his bulging muscles stretched his clothes so much they almost burst open, making him look like a ferocious beast in human form.

His response was a dazzling flash of sword light.

Chi Xiao draws the sword!

The blood flames, like ribbons, stretched for tens of meters, colliding with the surrounding purple glow and exploding in the air with cracks like shattered glass.

The next second, the barrier surrounding them was smashed to pieces by two fists. Slen roared and charged forward, his iron fists crashing down like giant hammers with terrifying force!

"Hehe...kill, kill the Royal Guard Bureau..."

"Go! Kill a few more Guards, maybe we can get a bigger reward!"

Seeing that their leader had already rushed forward, several people in black cloaks also made their move, unleashing crossbow bolts wrapped in green light along with pale purple magical radiance, illuminating half of the ruins.

"These people...are mercenaries?"

A thought flashed through his mind. Facing the fierce fist, Chen dared not be careless. He withdrew and retreated, sheathing his sword as he transformed into a streak of sword light and disappeared.

Scarlet Sky·Absolute Shadow!

Chen Shan appeared behind Silen, and dozens of sword lights burst forth from various parts of his body, cutting out wounds.

The massive body stiffened for a moment, and Jiu seized the opportunity. A faint light flashed on the longsword as it pierced the chest beneath the tattered clothes.

laugh!

As the sword pierced his flesh, a red light flashed in Slen's eyes, and he grabbed the blade that had pierced his chest.

"not dead?!"

Jiu's eyes widened, and he quickly released his grip on the sword hilt, rolling on the ground to avoid the incoming spells and crossbow bolts, greatly shocked.

Her sword was imbued with Originium Arts, so it should have shattered the heart upon piercing the body, yet this guy seemed completely unaffected.

How could he survive after losing his heart? Wasn't his heart a fatal organ? What kind of monster is this?!

"Nine! Don't linger, run!"

Chen risked taking a spell to leave two deep, bone-revealing wounds on Snow's calf. He shouted a warning, and Jiu, who had just pulled out a spare dagger, immediately realized what was happening and turned to run in the opposite direction.

Chen is right. There is no point in fighting them here. As long as we spread the word, no matter what methods these people use, they will not be able to stand against the entire Lungmen Guard Bureau!

"monster!"

Chen cursed, feeling a burning pain in her back. Even with her constitution, it was still unpleasant to withstand the impact of the spell. Fortunately, it wasn't a complete failure.

This guy was stabbed in the heart and still didn't die. I don't know what kind of monster he is, but even so, a leg injury would affect his mobility, right?

If they can get out of the range of the sorcerers and crossbowmen before he recovers, they might be able to escape!

"Hehe...die...die..."

Thinking this, she slashed through the magic behind her with her sword, dodged the crossbow bolts, and slipped past Snow, using his body as cover as she sprinted toward the alleyway entrance.

However, just as she approached, she saw one of the black cloaks suddenly emerge from the shadows in the corner, with a withered arm reaching out and clutching a red-glowing Originium bomb!

Chapter 126 The Beginning of Chaos at Longmen

"What did you say? Huijie's signal is gone?!"

Upon hearing Hei Suo's report, Wei Yanwu suddenly stood up, his dragon eyes opening wide. The pressure was so intense it was like a tangible mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing, causing the furnishings in the study to shake.

He is no longer young and has no children of his own. Given what happened back then, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he treats Chen as his own son.

He sent Chen to the Royal Guard Academy in Victoria, taught her the Crimson Sky Sword Technique, and even entrusted her with a treasure like the Crimson Sky Dragon-Slaying Sword. It can be said that Chen is now his Achilles' heel, and he cannot allow any accidents to happen to her.

Therefore, after joining the Guard Bureau, Chen only received the position of a regular police officer and was assigned some relatively easy and safe work. His presence was like a parasol hanging over Chen's head, blocking out all the darkness.

But now they're suddenly telling him that Chen's signal has disappeared?

As the leader of Lungmen, Wei Yanwu is very clear about what losing a signal means—it's almost a death sentence, and to date, no police officer who lost a signal has ever come back to life.

Will Chen be that accident?

neither knows.

"Wei Gong..."

"Investigate! Get the entire Guard Bureau mobilized, contact Old Lin's side, you guys go too, find them for me!"

Wei Yanwu's tone was very calm, but those who knew him knew that the old dragon was extremely angry.

Whoever caused Chen's disappearance must pay the price. The entire Longmen is about to face an unprecedented storm.

"Yes."

The man in the black cloak acknowledged the order and withdrew. Wei Yanwu pondered for a moment, then put on his cloak and left the study.

He couldn't tell Wen Yue this yet; he had to go find her himself!

-------------------------------------

"Our people are missing?"

Longmen, slums, teahouse.

The empty teacup lay on the table, and the old man, who resembled a mouse, slightly raised his eyelids, exuding an imposing aura without anger.

"Yes, right where the explosion happened earlier."

"I know--"

"grown ups."

Suddenly, a ripple appeared in the air, and a figure in a black cloak appeared out of thin air, kneeling on one knee and interrupting the Rat King.

"What's the matter?"

The Rat King's gaze sharpened; he sensed something was amiss.

Wei Yanwu controls the light side of Longmen, while he is the underground figure. The two complement each other and together they have established the current rules of Longmen. However, in reality, they have not had direct contact for a long time.

The sudden arrival of the man in the black cloak, representing Wei Yanwu's will, is probably not a good thing.

Unless it's something extremely serious, that old dragon would never let anyone come knocking on its door so easily.

"Sir, the young lady's signal has been lost in the slums."

slap~

The teacup on the table suddenly shattered, and the Rat King's eyes flashed with a sharp light. The aura that burst forth in an instant almost crushed the wooden table in the teahouse.

He immediately thought of the place where Graytail disappeared. High-risk items like Originium bombs had appeared in Lungmen. Logically and morally, the Guard Bureau should send someone to investigate. Could it be that the person in charge of this matter is that girl Chen?

Are the high-ranking officials of the Guard Bureau all incompetent? How dare they let Chen Huijie participate in such a dangerous incident!

Wei Yanwu has been silent for many years, and Chen is his Achilles' heel!
