Chapter 1 The Arrival of the Guards

As a squad of guards walked out of Dragonheart City's city gate, the members of the War Blood Adventurer Team, who were at the city gate, looked at Shi Feng and the others with a hint of triumph and mockery in their eyes.

A squad of twelve 150-level Tier 3 NPCs, not to mention that their levels were nearly thirty levels higher than the Tier 3 players in God's Domain, but just their identity as Dragonheart City guards was enough to give Shi Feng and the others a headache.

After the major system upgrade, these NPC guards in NPC cities were no longer as rigid as before, like robots, executing all the rules thoroughly and impartially.

On the contrary, these NPC guards have become humanized, able to jump left and right on that rule line, being very strict or very lenient. No matter what they do, it is within the rules, and players have no way to do anything about it.

"Vice Guild Leader Xin Yu, let's see how arrogant Black Flame will be this time!" A 123-level Remnant Light Like Snow from the War Blood Adventurer Team looked at the guard squad already heading towards Shi Feng and the others and sneered, "Even if he is a Tier 4 class and can kill Vice Guild Leader Grass and Wood in one move, he will have to lie low here!"

"That Black Flame is not simple. If he can really endure it, simply relying on the status of a Tier 4 class, even the guards of Dragonheart City would not dare to make things too difficult." Mo Xinyu shook her head and said slowly, "It all depends on Black Flame's actions later."

For a guild leader like Shi Feng, forbearance can be said to be a basic quality. If Shi Feng really has the patience, then their methods will be difficult to work.

What they can do afterward is to encircle and suppress Shi Feng in the outside world, just like they did with Ziwei of Azure Firmament.

"He has always been very arrogant, he shouldn't be able to endure it." Remnant Light Like Snow said, "Even if he can temporarily endure it, as long as he dares to resist even a little, or shows disrespect to Lord Sabrede later, then we can ruthlessly deal with him!"

"Hopefully." Mo Xinyu was also looking forward to Shi Feng not being able to help himself, so that all the problems would be easier to handle.

As the guard squad came to Shi Feng and the others, the surrounding players couldn't help but stop to watch.

"What's going on with these guards? They actually ran out on their own initiative?"

"That's not right, that assassin seems to be Divine Shadow, the Vice Guild Leader of Azure Firmament!"

"No way, the people from Azure Firmament dare to come over on their own initiative, are they looking for death?"

Soon, some players on the scene discovered Divine Shadow's identity. Everyone felt incredible because the War Blood Adventurer Team had already issued a city-wide wanted order for members of Azure Firmament in Dragonheart City. Coming here at this time was simply walking into a tiger's mouth.

"These NPC guards are coming directly, they are in trouble now."

"This NPC's level of making things difficult for people is top-notch. Last time, I was investigated for more than two hours. If I hadn't sent out a magic crystal, I would have had to wait several more hours before I could enter the city."

"Now that War Blood is arresting people from Azure Firmament on a large scale, these guards are probably members of the Mithril Hand Society. It definitely won't be something that can be solved by checking for a few hours. I'm afraid they will keep forcing them to speak disrespectfully, and then lock them up in prison..."

For the active appearance of the NPC guards, the players present couldn't help but feel sympathy, but it was only sympathy. After all, people have to bow their heads under the eaves. If they dare to resist, it is definitely a dead end.

At that time, it won't be as simple as being locked up for three days, but for fifteen days!

Just as the surrounding players were whispering to each other, the squad of twelve guards surrounded Shi Feng and the others.

"Dragonheart City is very chaotic now. The higher-ups have told us to increase our inspection efforts to prevent anyone from trying to enter the city and cause trouble. You few are acting suspiciously and wearing black cloaks to hide your identities. Please take off your black cloaks now and come with us!" The burly guard at the head looked at Shi Feng and the others and sneered, "Don't worry, this investigation will be quick, it will take at most a dozen hours to complete, and it won't delay you for too long."

"Oh, right, just in case, please open your spatial backpacks for us to check first, in case any prohibited items are brought in."

After the leading guard finished speaking, the other guards also laughed.

"That's right, hurry up and open them, don't worry, we won't take your things, we'll just take them out to check."

"Yes, yes, just take them out to check! This is for the safety of Dragonheart City!"

Several NPC guards teased Shi Feng, but Divine Shadow on the scene had a livid face, completely unexpected that these members of the Mithril Hand Society were so ruthless.

Spatial backpacks are the player's privacy and also their biggest secret. If the items inside are really exposed, not to mention attracting trouble, just the exposed trump cards would be enough for players to suffer.

"Sorry, we don't plan to enter Dragonheart City." Divine Shadow directly refused.

Checking the backpack space is absolutely impossible. Not to mention himself, even Shi Feng, as the guild leader, would definitely not allow it. To put it bluntly, these guards are clearly trying to provoke a conflict with them.

The only thing he can do now is to give up entering Dragonheart City.

But after Divine Shadow refused, the burly guard at the head laughed.

"Whether you enter or not is not important at all. Now you don't want to enter Dragonheart City, which proves that you have a big problem, so you must accept the inspection even more. You better open your spatial backpacks quickly, or don't blame us brothers for taking action ourselves!" The burly guard seemed to have seen through that Divine Shadow would say this, and directly raised his hand.

Suddenly, the other eleven guards couldn't help but grip their weapons, each emitting a cold killing intent.

However, at the same time as these guards were holding their weapons, Fan Muran also stood up and took out an ancient bronze token from her backpack.

"I am Fan Muran, the small captain of the Dragonheart Knights. These people are all my companions. I can prove that there is nothing wrong with them." Fan Muran looked at these guards and said with some annoyance, "Moreover, the jurisdiction of your City Defense Knights is within the city, not outside the city. You are overstepping your authority!"

As Fan Muran took out the Dragonheart Knight Token, Divine Shadow also breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little fortunate.

Fortunately, he brought Muran over, otherwise, he would really have fallen into the trap of these Mithril Hand Society members.

The Dragonheart Knights are the trump card knights on Dragonheart Island, not comparable to ordinary knights like the City Defense Knights at all, and the people from the City Defense Knights have no authority to check the people from the Dragonheart Knights.

"Dragonheart Knights?" The burly guard at the head looked at Fan Muran and smiled indifferently, "We naturally have no right to check if you are from the Dragonheart Knights, but your companions are not. They are acting suspiciously, each wearing a black cloak. As the first line of defense to protect Dragonheart City, we have the obligation to maintain the safety of Dragonheart City, so regardless of whether they are willing or not, they must accept the inspection!"

"You..." Fan Muran was also furious when she heard this, "I will definitely report what you have done to Commander Anos!"

"Then go ahead and say it, we believe that Commander Anos will also understand our good intentions." The burly guard at the head said indifferently, "But before that, your companions must accept the inspection! I will only give you ten seconds to consider, if you don't open them yourselves, then don't blame us for taking action ourselves!"

As the burly guard finished speaking, the other guards present also completely took out their weapons, obviously planning to take action if they disagreed, and did not intend to give Shi Feng and the others any chance to escape.

The players present couldn't help but gasp when they saw this scene.

"How ruthless!"

"Is this the method of the War Blood Adventurer Team?"

"Sure enough, you must never provoke the War Blood Adventurer Team on Dragonheart Island. No wonder the major superpowers dare not show any disrespect to War Blood on Dragonheart Island..."

Although some of the people present had often been made things difficult by these NPC guards, it was definitely the first time they had seen such a tense situation, completely tearing off the skin.

"Hahaha, amazing! Amazing! As expected of the people from the Mithril Hand Society! Let's see what Black Flame will do now!" Remnant Light Like Snow couldn't help but laugh when he saw this scene, "I heard that Black Flame has a lot of treasures, if we can get those treasures out and show them, we would probably be worth the price of admission!"

Mo Xinyu on the side also nodded.

Even she did not expect that the Mithril Hand Society would be so ruthless this time. Now, Shi Feng can be said to be in a dilemma. Whether he gets angry at the guards or opens the spatial backpack for everyone to see, Shi Feng will not have a good outcome in the end.

"Black Flame! This time, I will let you taste what it means to beg for life but not for death!" Oathblood Battle Soul on the city wall was also watching with an even greater smile.

Shi Feng had publicly killed him at the meeting of the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion, which caused him to lose face on Dragonheart Island.

But now the tables have turned. After he secretly cooperated with the Mithril Hand Society, he had been thinking about Shi Feng coming to Dragonheart Island, and he had often provoked Zero Wing. Now he finally got the opportunity.

The current inspection is only the first step. Even if Shi Feng really agrees, there are still many things waiting for Shi Feng later.

Even if Shi Feng reaches the Tier 4 class, it is useless. Dragonheart City is not comparable to other places. In terms of the city's combat power alone, Dragonheart City is not inferior to the imperial capitals of the major empires, and is even stronger.

Because Dragonheart City is a neutral city, there are many big figures from other races in the city. Those identities and statuses in the kingdoms and empires are completely useless in Dragonheart City. Only the identity and status of Dragonheart City itself can work. This is why the major superpowers have to succumb to their War Blood.

Not to mention a mere Zero Wing, how could its identity and status be comparable to those superpowers?

Just as everyone was secretly discussing this, Divine Shadow couldn't help but whisper to Shi Feng, "Guild Leader Black Flame, I'm sorry, I will hold them back for a while, you guys run away as soon as possible. As long as you run out of the Dragonheart Island range, the City Defense Knights will not dare to leave their posts without authorization!"

The only way now is to escape. Confronting these NPC guards head-on is definitely a dead end, and they will fall into Oathblood Battle Soul's trap.

So now, he can only sacrifice himself in exchange for the freedom of others.

"No! There's no need!" Shi Feng shook his head and said with a smile, "Leave it to me."

"Guild Leader Black Flame?" Divine Shadow was immediately puzzled when he saw this.

At this time, these NPC guards have obviously turned their faces and are not leaving any room for maneuver. He really can't think of any way to escape.

At this time, not to mention Divine Shadow, even Yulu on the side felt a burst of disbelief, not understanding what Shi Feng could still do at this time.

However, the burly guard at the head looked at Shi Feng who stood up and smiled: "What, have you figured it out?"

Shi Feng is the person specifically named by Vice Commander Sabrede. Whether Shi Feng agrees or not, he has a way to embarrass Shi Feng.

"Figured it out?" Shi Feng also smiled, "Indeed, I can be considered to have figured it out."

"That's good!" The burly guard at the head nodded, "Then open the spatial backpack!"

Just as the burly guard at the head finished speaking, Shi Feng also moved.

A flash of light appeared in front of Shi Feng, and the burly guard was directly split in two. His life value of over 20 million was instantly reduced to zero, and blood fell like rain, staining the surroundings...
