“Draw swords!”
As if to answer the dark-armored warrior, Chen Yong shouted.
Clang!!
A crisp sound echoed, and all personnel of the Wu Department Su City Office drew their battle sabers.
Although they could all feel the power of the five extraterrestrial dark-armored warriors, and sense the contempt in their eyes, none of them showed fear again. Only anger and killing intent remained!
However—
No matter how furious they were, or how surging their killing intent, after drawing their sabers, none of them made a move.
Because Chen Yong had not yet given the order to attack!
“Heh… since they are in a hurry to reincarnate, let’s grant their wish!”
One of the extraterrestrial dark-armored warriors sneered upon seeing Chen Yong and the others draw their sabers.
“Let’s have a competition, see who kills more people.”
Another extraterrestrial dark-armored warrior suggested.
“That’s a good suggestion, but let’s kill that nine-star martial artist first, then have the competition. That would be fairer.”
The third extraterrestrial dark-armored warrior spoke, flicking his wrist. The tip of his spear pointed directly at Lu Feng, “Native, come and die!”
“Snap!”
Lu Feng stepped forward without hesitation, standing in front of Chen Yong, ready to face the challenge.
Snap!!
At the same time, the staff of the Wu Department Su City Office behind Chen Yong also stepped forward, their sabers in hand, moving in unison.
They were going to fight alongside Lu Feng, sharing life and death!
“Brothers, wait for me, I’ll go first!”
Lu Feng’s heart trembled slightly upon hearing the footsteps behind him, knowing the intentions of his comrades. His eyes were slightly reddened, but his tone was exceptionally calm.
It seemed he was not afraid of fighting the provoking extraterrestrial dark-armored warrior, nor of death!
“No, Brother Lu, we go together!”
“That’s right, if we die, we die together!”
Hearing Lu Feng’s words, the staff of the Wu Department Su City Office behind Chen Yong became very emotional. They were unwilling to let Lu Feng go to his death first.
“Let Lu Feng go first.”
Just then, Chen Yong also spoke. His eyes were red, his teeth gritted, and his voice hoarse as he gave the instruction.
Although he knew that Lu Feng would certainly die if he went to fight, he still made this choice.
Because, this would allow them to delay for as long as possible!
This was also why he had not given the order to attack after seeing the extraterrestrial enemies fully reveal themselves.
Their mission was to hold the Hanshan Temple to the death, and wait for Yan Jun to arrive with his men!
“Director… Director!!”
Upon hearing Chen Yong’s words in astonishment, the other staff of the Wu Department Su City Office became anxious.
“This is an order!!”
Chen Yong roared, suppressing everyone else’s voices. At the same time, blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
It was because he had bitten his teeth too hard, causing his gums to bleed!
“Brothers, listen to the Director’s arrangements.”
Lu Feng spoke again. He knew that if he had a choice, Chen Yong would never let him go to his death alone.
He also knew that on the battlefield, the most painful person was not the one who faced death bravely knowing it was coming, nor the warrior who could do nothing while watching his comrades go to their deaths, but the commander who gave the order for soldiers to go to their deaths!
The one who makes the decision is the most in pain!
At this moment, Chen Yong’s pain was no less than that of his subordinates behind him!
But Chen Yong had to grit his teeth and swallow that pain to delay time and lead everyone to complete their mission as much as possible!
“Extraterrestrial scum, who dares to fight me?!”
With those words, Lu Feng stepped forward, appearing five meters ahead of Chen Yong, to face the challenge alone.
“Hmph!”
The extraterrestrial dark-armored warrior who had proposed to kill Lu Feng first snorted upon hearing Lu Feng’s challenge. He flicked his wrist, and his spear moved with him as he pounced directly at Lu Feng.
Whoosh!
Immediately, a sharp whistling sound of the air being cut filled the air.
The extraterrestrial dark-armored warrior moved like lightning, instantly pouncing before Lu Feng. His spear whistled through the air, its sharp tip like a white light, piercing towards Lu Feng’s heart.
Fast!
At this moment, the speed of the dark-armored warrior was so fast that it made Chen Yong and the staff of the Wu Department Su City Office behind him’s hearts pound. It also shocked Lu Feng!
As danger loomed, Lu Feng did not choose to confront directly. Instead, he swayed his feet and rapidly dodged to the side.
On one hand, he was only at the seventh stage of the Nine-Star Martial Artist realm, and his strength was inferior to his opponent. He could not directly block this spear.
On the other hand, from the moment he decided to face the challenge alone, he had a plan: to dodge as much as possible and delay time.
He knew Chen Yong’s intentions, and he also knew that every second he delayed would give his comrades behind him one more second to live, and one more chance to survive.
Even though Lu Feng had formulated a strategy of maneuvering and dodging in advance, and dodged at the first opportunity, he was still almost struck by the dark-armored warrior’s spear.
“How many times can you dodge?!”
The dark-armored warrior’s spear missed its target. Fearing mockery from his companions, he immediately let out a low growl and attacked with all his might.
Puff!
Lu Feng continued to dodge. His left arm was grazed by the opponent’s second spear, slicing off a large piece of flesh, and blood flowed profusely.
Whoosh!
At this moment…
The sound of the air being cut rang out again. The dark-armored warrior’s third spear whistled through the air, aiming for Lu Feng’s face.
Lu Feng’s body faltered slightly due to the injury to his left arm, and his reaction slowed down. Facing the dark-armored warrior’s tricky spear, he had no time to dodge.
Whoosh!!
However—
Just as Lu Feng was about to be hit in the face by the dark-armored warrior’s spear, another whistling sound broke through the air.
A dagger, like a streak of black light, suddenly shot out from behind Chen Yong and the other members of the Wu Department Su City Office, instantly reaching Lu Feng.
Clang!!
The next moment.
The sharp dagger precisely struck the spear that was aiming for Lu Feng’s face, blocking the fatal blow for Lu Feng!
Whoosh!
Seizing this opportunity, Lu Feng immediately withdrew and retreated, creating distance from the dark-armored warrior.
The dark-armored warrior stopped his attack and cast his gaze towards the rear of Chen Yong and the others.
Because he sensed that someone else had arrived, and it was a Nine-Star Martial Artist!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh…
The other four dark-armored warriors also sensed the aura of the arriving person at the first moment and all looked in that direction.
Not only them, but Lu Feng and Chen Yong and the others did too!
They turned their heads in unison, looking at the person behind them, their hearts filled with the same question: Who had arrived?
The next moment.
Whether it was the five extraterrestrial dark-armored warriors or Chen Yong and the others, they saw a girl.
The girl had a bob haircut, delicate features, and was wearing a white tracksuit paired with sneakers. At first glance, she looked like a student.
That is, if you didn’t look at her eyes.
Because in her originally bright, large eyes, there was a chilling indifference.
And compared to the girl’s indifferent gaze, her powerful aura and terrifying killing intent were even more striking!
The girl’s name was Dongfang Xiao Yao.
At this moment, she was not the tragic girl who was locked in an iron cage, crying out to heaven but no one answering, calling to earth but no one responding in the past;
Nor was she the young girl who had begun to integrate into the world and learn to interact with people after resolving her inner demons and dispelling her shadows;
She was the shadow of the Dragon Hall Master, and the most feared existence by enemies in the entire Dragon Hall, besides the Master!
“You… why are you here?!”
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Chen Yong exclaimed in disbelief.
Because he often interacted with Su Shi Yun, he had met Dongfang Xiao Yao, and more than once.
He recognized Dongfang Xiao Yao at a glance, and his heart was filled with shock!
Because, on the way to Hanshan Temple, he had called Su Shi Yun and begged her to send Dongfang Xiao Yao to assist the Wu Department Su City Office in dealing with the extraterrestrial enemies, but he was refused.
Moreover, Dongfang Xiao Yao herself had refused at the time!
But now, Dongfang Xiao Yao had appeared…
“Brother Wu Ming asked me to help you.”
Dongfang Xiao Yao flickered, as if she had used a technique like ‘shrinking the ground into an inch’, appearing directly beside Chen Yong, and spoke indifferently.
“Thank… thank you, but the enemy has five Nine-Star Martial Artists. You can’t help us, leave quickly!”
Hearing Dongfang Xiao Yao’s answer, Chen Yong was stunned at first, then understood that the Brother Wu Ming she mentioned was Jiang Wu Ming. He said through gritted teeth.
Although he knew that Dongfang Xiao Yao’s staying to assist them could help them delay more time, he also knew that Dongfang Xiao Yao would die if she stayed.
He could order his subordinate soldiers to die, but he could not order Dongfang Xiao Yao, and he could not even beg her.
Because, that would violate his promise to Su Shi Yun, and violate his principles as a person!
“Thank Brother Wu Ming.”
The girl responded coldly, took a step forward, and stood directly in front of Lu Feng, facing the five extraterrestrial dark-armored warriors alone!
