Chapter 881: King’s Command
Finally, Long Ting answered the call.
“What’s the matter, General Qin?” Long Ting’s dignified face lit up the screen.
Qin Feng did not have time to explain. He could only turn the camera of his communicator toward the S-tier Dragon-borne and muttered coldly, “You will find out very soon.”
Without time to elaborate more, Qin Feng grabbed Nangong Feiyang and retreated frantically.
“Run!” Qin Feng shouted at the guard.
The guard was stunned by the uninvited guest and bellowed, “An alien?”
Not only that but the alien had brazenly set foot on the Tower of Dragon Gate.
The guard wished to chase the Dragon-borne back through the tunnel but was powerless in front of the S-tier. All he could do was to sound the alarm.
However, the Dragon-borne saw through his intention and would not give him a chance to do it.
“A man? You would have no use to us. Now, die!” The S-tier shortened the gap between him and the guard almost instantly.
The Dragon-borne clutched the guard with his powerful grip.
The guard finally understood why Qin Feng had fled immediately. He pumped internal force through his entire body in a panic to wield his internal force s.h.i.+eld. His feet did not stop moving either and stomped the ground to initiate his qinggong skill.
However, his response was a tad bit too late.
The strength in terms of physique, speed, and power of an S-tier Dragon-borne was nothing a human had ever seen before.
Pop!
The internal force s.h.i.+eld of the tower guard was easily punctured by the Dragon-borne, as if the latter was only poking a bubble with his finger.
His finger did not stop there and moved on to strangle the guard’s neck from behind.
“Ah!!!” A long sword came into the guard’s hand. He reversed the sword into a back grip and stabbed the enemy behind him with all his might.
It was a last-ditch a.s.sault. Even Qin Feng could feel the desperation from afar judging by the five seas worth of internal force discharged into the sword.
Boom!
Internal force and sword glare exploded at once when the sword hit its target. It was an all-out attack that would damage both ends.
The scales on the Dragon-borne were pierced through by the sword glare. But that was about all the damage the guard tower could leave on the alien. It was nothing more serious to the Dragon-borne than a light abrasion to human skin.
But it was certainly sufficient to enrage the Dragon-borne.
Crack!
The guard tower’s neck was snapped. Not only that but his lifeless body was dragged back brutally by the Dragon-borne and shattered into pieces by his sharp claws.
A well-respected A-tier apt.i.tude user had fallen without much retaliation.
Qin Feng was exasperated. His mind was fogged by revenge and irrepressible anger.
Yet, he knew he could not turn back.
Because one after another Dragon-borne had come through the tunnel. Unsurprisingly, they were all S-tiers.
Second, third, fourth… A total of seven S-tiers.
It was a devastating number.
To any city in this world, seven S-tier enemies spelled immediate doom.
Qin Feng glanced at his communicator screen and caught the dumbstruck expression on Long Ting’s face. She had clearly sensed the S-tier aura that was vastly different from a human apt.i.tude user.
It was as if the Dragon-borne had appeared right beside her.
In fact, the entire Dragon Capital was shrouded by immense pressure.
Long Ting was not stunned for too long and growled, “City guards, turn on the highest-level defense! Get the ninth-level force field up as quickly as possible! Do it immediately!”
City guards stationed at Dragon Capital received the order first hand. They were actually the first group that was startled by the frightening S-tier aura.
A moment later, a thick defense layer began to scatter simultaneously from the top of the ninth and the bottom of the tenth level. This ultimately disconnected the two layers and created an isolated world from the tenth level onward.
It was a force field that even an S-tier would not be able to break through. The force field was at least half a meter thick even at its thinnest point. The defense layer consumed a ma.s.sive amount of power credits every second it was on.
This was basically a force field constructed by money.
“Every S-tier in Dragon Capital, come out and help fend off the enemies!” Long Ting’s orders traveled into all ten levels of the city. It was like a queen, no, a king’s command. No one could defy the call.
Following the order, a spirited voice was first heard coming from the manor residence at level ten.
“Let me give you a hand, Duke.” A cheerful old man with golden hair came into sight.
S2-tier, metal ability user.
If he had shown up in other places, perhaps no one would recognize him. People would only take him as another brash parvenu.
But people living in the tenth level were no ordinary citizens. They immediately recognized the old man’s ident.i.ty.
“Wan s.h.i.+chang!”
“It’s old man Wan! He is probably counting money in his mansion!”
“Who cares! We should be glad that he is in town at this difficult time!”
Some apt.i.tude users a.n.a.lyzed while they were retreating.
Wan s.h.i.+chang was the pioneer of the Wanzhong Organization.
He was an experienced S-tier ability user and a celebrated tyc.o.o.n in the Huaxia Alliance.
However, that did not mean the enemies could be contained now. There were seven of them!
“Duke, I am going to try my best as a junior.”
A handsome teenager arrived graciously with a fan in his hand.
When he arrived, a lot of ladies that were fleeing could not help but turn back to glance at his attractive face.
Li Xiao, Prince Xiao!
“Prince Xiao, you are being too humble,” Long Ting’s voice reached them. She showed up not long after in battle armor with a spear in her hand. Her poise did not lose to any man. There were another two S-tier ancient warriors by her side.
However, the two S-tier ancient warriors must have led a reclusive life before this. The others had never seen them before.
Nonetheless, their outfits were eye-catching. They wore a loose robe with a cape. On the cape was written the word “Long”.
The two were actually members of the Long family.
One of them was Long Yunyi while the other was an old folk, who was emanating a daunting aura.
The Long family’s depth was truly unfathomable. The fourth S-tier in the family had finally shown his face.
“Third elder, please remember that your life is what matters most. In the battle, you only need to help me stall one of them!” Long Ting said soberly.
The old S-tier nodded and replied, “Don’t worry about me. I will take care of myself. Despite my age, I would not be defeated without giving the opponent a good fight.”
“Believe me, I will exterminate all of them before they can do that,” Long Ting declared imposingly.
She had not disconnected the call. The seven S-tier Dragon-borne deepened her furrow.
This was when a gorgeous lady with silver hair came by Qin Feng’s side.
Bai Li had arrived!
Spatial Stabilization!
Bai Li raised her hand and unleashed a powerful ability. Following that, the entire s.p.a.ce within the tenth level steadied considerably. The spatial tunnel shrunk instantly, then vanished altogether.
