Zhao Hongsheng's death was truly gruesome, and for a moment, the convoy, which had been fleeing at high speed, ground to a halt.
Wei Ping looked down at the Hidden Serpent battle armor he had casually torn open.
"Heh, little bug, if it were only Dragon Knights, you might have actually escaped."
Behind him, a Dragon Knight with an Eastern Hua nationality face glanced at the now thoroughly deceased Zhao Hongsheng, a flicker of reluctance in his eyes.
As the knight had flown in, he, serving as rear guard, had noticed the old man who, after activating his Serpent Hide battle skill, had attempted to flee.
However, considering their shared Eastern Hua nationality, and that Jiang Hu recognized the battle armor as having once belonged to the Nine Dragons Eastern Hua branch.
Jiang Hu had intended to let him go. But he hadn't expected Wei Ping, whose brother had been killed, to be so exceptionally attentive this time.
An A-class battle armor, in the face of an SSS-class True Guard, found its stealth capabilities and extreme speed to be no more than child's play.
"Sir, the pilot of this Hidden Serpent battle armor, he used to be retired from our Nine Dragons Eastern Hua branch."
"Would you consider allowing him to have a complete corpse?"
Within the communication channel, the moment Jiang Hu finished speaking, his heart suddenly jolted.
He had overstepped!
BOOM!!!
The Hidden Serpent battle armor in the hands of the green battle armor exploded into a bloody mist. Wei Ping slowly turned, his unfriendly tone ringing out so clearly in the communication channel!
"Ah Hu, are you telling me how to do my job?"
The pressure from the True Guard level caused the Dragon Knights, who were already in a forced march state, to tremble.
As the primary target of the pressure, cold sweat immediately broke out on Jiang Hu's forehead.
Trembling, he knelt on one knee and said with difficulty:
"Your subordinate... your subordinate has overstepped!!"
"Hmph!" Wei Ping snorted coldly. Ever since Ivanoff had used his power to suppress him, a repressed anger had been building within him.
He had clearly risked his life countless times, yet simply because of his Eastern Hua nationality, he had always been ostracized within Nine Dragons.
If not for Ivanoff's outburst, Wei Ping wouldn't even have known that this usually gentlemanly old man was such a terrifying monster.
And Wei Ping was also keenly aware that as long as those rebel rats from Eastern Hua remained, Nine Dragons would never allow Eastern Hua nationals to truly enter the upper echelons!
Therefore, this time, his resentment was not solely due to his brother's death, nor was it solely due to being suppressed by Ivanoff.
What truly caused his heart to burn with jealousy was these Eastern Hua nationals with the same yellow skin and black eyes as him!
I worked so hard, and yet I'm constantly suppressed just because we share the same bloodline! How absurd is this!
Only by eradicating all of you Eastern Hua nationals will I have a chance to glimpse a higher level of power!
With this thought, looking at Jiang Hu, who was also born in Eastern Hua, a malicious glint flashed in Wei Ping's eyes:
"Heh, overstepped! While according to company regulations, such a minor matter wouldn't warrant me killing you! However, if an accident were to happen and cripple you, the price for that isn't something I couldn't bear."
In his chilling words, the killing intent of this Nine Dragons True Guard was calmly stated.
Under the soul suppression, Jiang Hu collapsed onto the ground. He had no doubt that if given the chance, this True Guard would kill him.
But a moment later, that icy killing intent transformed into a calm command:
"However, considering that you and I were both once Eastern Hua nationals, I will give you a chance!"
Jiang Hu, who was slumped on the ground, suddenly felt an ominous premonition flash through his mind.
"By the authority of Wei Ping, the Seventeenth True Guard of Nine Dragons, I order! Dragon Knight Jiang Hu! You are responsible for the implementation of this Dragon Heart City massacre mission!"
"The city is now sealed! If, after one day, I find any living Eastern Hua national within the city."
"Your head will become the uppermost layer of this city's ossuary!"
As the words fell, the microcomputer of the Tiger Roar battle armor displayed a twenty-four-hour countdown in Jiang Hu's vision.
But he felt his limbs turn ice-cold, and the limbs, which were already semi-fused with the SS-class titled battle armor, now felt the coldness of the human body once more.
The other Dragon Knights also heard this command. They did not foolishly step forward to persuade him, but instead, rationally distanced themselves from Jiang Hu.
Seeing Jiang Hu standing frozen, a flicker of displeasure crossed Wei Ping's eyes:
"What? Esteemed Dragon Knight, do you need me to ignite your Sun's Fire for you?"
"Hurry up and enter combat mode! Destroy these Eastern Hua trash!!"
Jiang Hu's body trembled, and he bitterly intensified the burning power of his soul fire.
The next moment, within the battle armor, a peculiar golden radiance seemed to resonate with the silver soul power.
The convoy in the distance, which appeared like sculptures, was instantly suppressed by an invisible pressure the moment they saw the Dragon Knight squad, losing any thought of resistance.
Only those family heads who had been stuck at A-class for a long time could still retain a sliver of their ability to act.
But the tragic state of the Zhao family head was still fresh in their minds, and they dared not show any sincerity as Lu Chenyuan had suggested!
However, the Lu family head was unwilling to simply wait for death! He tried his best to move his body, even if it was just to say a word to the adults.
But they would never understand that in the values of Nine Dragons, the family heads of the various new cities were merely slightly larger sheepdogs.
Now, someone within the city had killed the masters from Nine Dragons, and thus, the city's fate was already sealed.
The last image imprinted in Lu Chenyuan's eyes was a rapidly expanding battle armor.
Behind the twenty-meter-tall green battle armor, the other five battle armors appeared to be only about five meters tall. Not to mention comparing them to the ten-meter Dragon Knight battle armor, they were at most similar to their A-class battle armors.
Lu Chenyuan still held a sliver of hope, thinking that perhaps the Dragon Knights only consisted of that one green battle armor, and the other five were merely there to assist.
In that case, perhaps he still had a slim chance of survival.
But at this moment, Lu Chenyuan knew he was wrong.
He saw a gray battle armor suddenly grow taller amidst the intertwined golden and silver radiance.
A moment later, a fifty-meter-tall titled battle armor stood there!
"Dragon.... Knight...." This also became Lu Chenyuan's last words in this world.
The massive gray battle armor slowly retracted its fist, which had crushed the convoy into pulp.
The battle armor's observation cameras no longer cast a glance at these deceased individuals.
Jiang Hu looked at the new city in the distance, with a population of nearly ten million:
"Don't blame me! I want to live too!"
"This world ultimately belongs to Nine Dragons!"
"We Eastern Hua nationals have original sin!!!"
THUMP!!
With every step the colossal battle armor took, the earth trembled.
And within the new city in the distance, the people were still unaware that a slaughterer was about to descend!
