Chapter 240: Quietly Causing Trouble (IV)

Violet Moon was cut off from the front and back. She was as strong as the public thought she was and sent the Bronze Armor flying with a clap of thunder, but her scalp crawled with horror when eighty swords flashed at her in the blink of an eye.

She wasn’t afraid, but was caught in a difficult situation because these things were undying. She didn’t have time to keep them airborne for a full minute. If soldiers continued to increase at this rate, she wouldn’t be able to hold them off either.

“Come help me!” She couldn’t help herself and roared for reinforcements the next second. If they didn’t, she would run in their direction with all of these Black Armors behind her!

And yet, who dared approach her street at this moment?

Off in the distance, the Revolution King eliminated his share of Black Armors and shouted, “Retreat from the outer city. Run!” He wasn’t responding to only Violet Moon, but also the other Yama powerhouses inside the city.

Everyone, run for your lives! Idiot Violet Moon raised such a ruckus just to kill a few Black Armors! They were even seeing some unusual circumstances from the inner city. Perhaps whatever was there sensed Violet Moon’s strength.

A ray of white flashed by the outer city. Something was flying!

This was the expedition’s first time seeing powerhouses in flight inside the ruins. It was a warrior in silver armor! It’d launched off the towering city walls and wielded a silver broadsword. No presence spilled over from its being, but everyone knew that they were in trouble! They’d brought a stronger existence down on their heads, a Silver Armor!

Violet Moon’s expression shifted drastically and she threw caution to the wind. RUMBLE!

Enormous bolts of lightning erupted and blasted Black Armors away. She fled with her full strength, widening her sphere of supernatural influence and attracting more Black Armors to her.

......

Li Hao, Liu Long, and Liu Yan had long taken their armor off. The young man sucked in a sharp breath—just look at this show of force! I wanted Violet Moon to suffer a loss, but look at all the Black Armors teeming in the outer city!

We need to make a run for it!

“Do we leave the city or what?” Liu Long was likewise anxious.

Joy blossomed across Li Hao’s face when he scanned the surroundings. “Hurry, we need to follow that person. It’s Director Hao!” He’d located Hao Lianchuan’s ball of light!

Very well, now was a good time to slip out of the city. He wouldn’t dare do so if he didn’t see Hao Lianchuan. But since he had, it was time to leave before considering anything else. The deputy director might even be able to help him since he had his sights set on a certain person.

Liu Long and Liu Yan didn’t question the young man. Some things didn’t need to be asked. Since Li Hao said he saw the deputy director, then he probably did.

......

Hao Lianchuan was also fleeing for his life. That damned Violet Moon was seriously good for nothing! It’s just a few Black Armors! Did you blow up their barracks or what? You’ve even drawn out a Silver Armor officer!

He had absolutely no words for the situation!

The number of Black Armors within the city swiftly increased. Ghastly shrieks echoed nearby when they happened across supernaturals yet to fully withdraw. Hao Lianchuan was sprinting full out when his footsteps faltered and his eyes widened.

Granted, there was no need to investigate anymore since whoever it was must already be dead!

And yet, a knot of fury clogged her heart.

The silver broadsword descended with another enormous bang. Hong Yitang picked up speed since he knew he was weaker than Violet Moon. He bounded forward with a mighty leap and left the sword stroke for his peer.

Violet Moon wanted to smite him down for his impudence, but drawing Hong Yitang into battle now would only mire them both in danger. She had to settle for erupting with lightning to defend against the blow and utilize the momentum to run even faster.

Hu Dingfang howled like a tiger in front of them, forcing the Black Armors back. He churned his legs in the Revolution King’s direction. If he was going to suffer, then they might as well all go down together!

......

Chaos engulfed the outer city! Supernaturals of various organizations rushed toward the plaza, but didn’t dare enter it. Worry spread across everyone’s faces. Why had the situation gotten to this point?

A ray of light flashed by. Hao Lianchuan had made it back. He threw Li Hao and the others into the crowd. No one had attention to spare for the trio. They craned their necks anxiously at people running out of the city.

“Enter the plaza and deploy your supernatural abilities!” Hao Lianchuan roared. “Lure the Black Armors here so that the Solars have a chance to make it out, or we’re all dead!”

Those outside the plaza could safely make it out of the ruins, but their organizations would have hard questions for them if they lived while their Solars were dead!

People rushed into the plaza and released their powers, attracting countless Black Armors. A horde of soldiers rushed toward the plaza, greatly lessening the pressure on the Solars.

Li Hao and his comrades took advantage of the confusion to witness the grand spectacle. Liu Long looked wordlessly at the young man. Just look at you putting on this great act! You’re so innocent like all of this has nothing to do with you!

No one knew that the young man was behind the pandemonium, and here the lad was, putting on an extreme of concern. What are you concerned about?!

But Li Hao was indeed concerned. What if Violet Moon didn’t die after all this? It would be so lovely if she did! Well, she was in for a world of trouble even if she didn’t die. The massive silver broadsword furiously hacked at the woman. Oh dear, poor Violet Moon!

Li Hao did feel some sympathy for a brief moment. Thank goodness I’m not in the city anymore, or I’d be dead as well.

“AH!!” the woman’s enraged screams rose and fell. She soared into the air again at an extreme speed. Rays of white light immediately converged upon her, forcing her armor to materialize. This time, however, lightning crackled over the treasure as it bore the brunt of the attacks.

She doggedly flew back in the face of such punishment. When Li Hao looked at her, he saw the beast of thunder—the origin weapon—curled up inside her body. It seemed to have consumed a great deal of resources as it was unmoving. Was it about to die?

Violet Moon’s ball of light was also smaller than before. She’d expended a lot of energy and suffered immense injuries. Violently heaving for breath, hate glinted out of her eyes. Damn it!

Her origin weapon was heavily damaged, but she wouldn’t have made it back if she hadn’t flown.

The assembly saw a flash of sword light the next moment; a raging Hong Yitang charged out with a mighty sword slash. The earth shook as the Earthturner Sword demonstrated its might, ramming through the armored soldiers around the man. Hong Yitang crossed one hundred meters with a mighty bound and rushed for the plaza.

Various Solars emerged in bedraggled shape, inwardly cursing up a storm! It was an indescribable mess inside the city!
