"Boom!"
Long Chen slapped out, and the old man in black armor rolled out. The immense force shattered his helmet, revealing a bloodied, mangled old face.
Long Chen's palm was incredibly powerful, and he also used skillful force, striking the gap in the helmet perfectly, which allowed him to shatter it in one blow.
It turned out that the armor design of these people was extremely ingenious; the helmet was divided into several parts, each of which could be controlled at will.
When fighting someone, he could either fully envelop him or expose his face. Long Chen seized this trait, shattering his helmet with a single strike—precise and ruthless.
The old man spat blood wildly, his large teeth scattering in midair, charging straight at the group of black-armored warriors behind him. The group couldn't dodge in time and were hit head-on, each sent flying in a sorry state, the scene instantly thrown into chaos.
"Enter the city first!"
Long Chen shouted, grabbing Tu Hu beside him and speeding forward. Seeing this, the others immediately piloted their warships, closely following Long Chen and flying straight toward the city.
When the elderly man in black armor steadied himself, Long Chen and the others had already taken advantage of the chaos to rush to the front of the city. The strong figures atop the city immediately activated the grand formation, and Long Chen and his group were instantly sucked into the city.
"Bastard"
The elder clad in black armor saw Long Chen and the others storm into the city. His face turned ashen with rage. One misstep had made all these people flee, completely ruining the plan.
"Should we just launch a direct assault and wipe them out completely?" Another expert clad in black armor offered his advice.
"Boom!"
But just as the man finished speaking, the elderly man in black armor punched him on the head, sending sparks flying. The man grunted and was sent flying.
"Are you an idiot? Why do we work so hard to gather around this place? Can't you use your brain? The old man in black armor was clearly holding back his anger with nowhere to vent. That person brought trouble upon himself and became the old man's scapegoat.
The man was sent flying by a single punch and couldn't get up for a long time. The people nearby were all terrified and didn't dare help, just standing there in silence, afraid of meeting the same fate.
"Something unexpected happened this time. It seems that person isn't a local powerhouse. Could it be that someone from outside has come in?" A person beside the elderly man in black armor spoke. He was also a Realm King, his voice somewhat aged.
The elderly man in black armor shook his head and said, "Logically, that's impossible. There are so many Moluo clan experts stationed in the spatial passage. Not only are there people, not even a fly can get in." "
But although the Moluo clan is strong, they don't seem very bright. If they were careless, it was still possible.
It would be better to send someone to contact them and find out what was really going on. If a large number of powerful figures entered the entrance, things would be much more complicated. "The man said.
The elderly man in black armor pondered for a moment and said, "Alright, send someone to inquire. The Moluo clan is indeed not very reliable in handling affairs." "
So what about here? Should we change our plans? We've already been exposed, so they probably won't fall for it again. Why not just ... directly?" The man looked at the city and made a throat-slitting motion.
The elder in black armor shook his head and said, "No, it doesn't matter if we're exposed. We'll just surround them."
I don't believe they'd abandon everyone in this city. Even if they knew it was dangerous, they'd still risk it to deliver supplies in the end.
We've only exposed part of our strength, and that's not a big deal. Even if their next person is ten times stronger, we can still handle it. Seeing
the elderly man in black armor say this, the man said no more and instead looked into the city. Inside, countless powerful figures surrounded the man in black. For some reason, he felt uneasy—this young man in black was truly terrifying.
...
"Thank you, sir, for saving my life."
Entering the city, countless powerful figures surrounded Long Chen. The powerful figure named Tu Hu took off his armor and thanked Long Chen with a face full of respect.
The others also took off their armor and looked at Long Chen. If not for Long Chen, they would have all died tragically here.
The old man clad in black armor would surely kill them in the most cruel and humiliating way to wear down the city's will to resist. Each of them was deeply grateful to Long Chen.
What shocked them was that the man in black who had saved them all was merely a mid-stage Divine Lord cultivator, yet he could shatter the armor of a Realm King with a single slap. This was truly unfathomable.
"I want to ask you, the Guo Ran you mentioned, isn't he short, with a single bang, and a small gourd-shaped birthmark on the back of his left hand..." Long Chen said to the man.
"Yes, yes, exactly, big brother, do you know Senior Brother Guo Ran?" Tu Hu cried out in alarm, and the experts who had come with him also stared at Long Chen in shock.
"I know him, and we're very familiar with him." Long Chen smiled and said, How could he not recognize him?
Seeing Long Chen say he knew Guo Ran, Tu Hu and the others immediately became friendly. Although Long Chen had saved them, he could clearly sense that everyone here was somewhat wary of him.
Through Tu Hu and the others, Long Chen learned that Guo Ran was thriving at the Tianlong Divine Armor Academy, rising from an ordinary disciple to a Heaven-rank mentor in just over a year.
His powerful forging talent shone brightly here, becoming one of the Four Talents of the Tianlong Divine Armor Academy, with countless admirers and a respected status. He was a very famous presence throughout the entire Moluo Star Domain.
"Brother, you're not a local from the Moluo Star Domain, are you?" A disciple from the Tianlong Divine Armor Academy asked.
"That's right, I'm from another star region. I broke through the blockade and came here, originally hoping to save someone and make some money along the way.
But unexpectedly, there was an unexpected gain. You don't need to doubt my identity; I mean you no harm. Long Chen looked at the man and said.
The man immediately blushed. Although Long Chen said he knew Guo Ran, they were still a bit uneasy. If Long Chen was on the enemy side and deliberately deceived them into trusting, it would be a disaster.
Who is Long Chen? How could Long Chen not understand his thoughts? To prevent them from probing endlessly, Long Chen got straight to the point.
"I am truly rude. This hero has arrived in Qingyu City. You should hurry inside and have a chat. This is not the place to speak." A late-stage Realm King stood to the side, finally finding an opportunity to speak.
Tu Hu and the others felt embarrassed too. Standing on the city wall and talking like this was truly awkward, as if they were interrogating each other.
"Brother, please come inside. By the way, may I ask your full name?" Tu Hu said.
"Long Chen"
"What?"
When they heard Long Chen's name, Tu Hu and all the disciples of the Tianlong Divine Armor Academy all opened their mouths in shock, staring at Long Chen in disbelief.
