Chapter 625 The Obstruction
Chen Yang had some doubts himself, but since the Bronze Tree said so, that had to be the case.
The true form of the Bronze Tree was indeed different from ordinary objects. Perhaps it could indeed find a new path amidst this.
Returning to Qingzhou City, although Chen Yang knew Bei Xuan was looking for him, he didn't go immediately. Instead, he studied the power of bloodlines with the Bronze Tree.
Meanwhile, inside the Blue Sky Building, Zhang Dao and Wu Bandao, who had become the building's security guards, could clearly feel the difference between themselves and other guards.
"Big brother, these security guards are quite different from the ones we encountered before!"
Wu Bandao had never seen such spirited security guards in all his life.
Zhang Dao lay on a lounge chair, a blade of grass in his mouth, and grumbled, "What's so different? Aren't they just patrolling every day?"
As the two chatted in a corner, Zhuque, who was passing by, frowned, "What are you two doing here!"
Wu Bandao and Zhang Dao had known Zhuque since their first day of joining the company and knew she was a hot-tempered leader.
"We're just tired, taking a break," Zhang Dao said with half-open eyes, not bothering to get up.
Zhuque frowned. She had no idea how these two managed to join the company.
If it weren't for Chen Yang's personal arrangement, she would have kicked them out immediately.
"The South District is your responsibility. Can you hold it?"
In response to Zhuque's question, Wu Bandao patted his head and smiled, "Don't worry, Chen Yang invited us to the company because he values our work ability."
Zhuque snorted and said nothing more. After all, they were only responsible for the exterior. The company had many hidden sentries internally, and the real defensive force still relied on their own people.
However, after leaving, Zhuque immediately arranged for two people from the Heavenly Doctor Hall to test the strength of the two.
With such a work attitude, if they didn't have some ability, no matter who arranged it, the subordinates wouldn't be convinced.
A few minutes later, Zhang Dao, who was dozing off in a daze, was immediately kicked awake by Wu Bandao. "Big brother, stop sleeping!"
Zhang Dao groggily sat up and said angrily, "What's going on? Can't a person get a good nap?"
As soon as Zhang Dao finished speaking, he saw four strangers in front of him.
"What are these four people doing here?" Zhang Dao became alert immediately.
They were all wearing masks, and at a glance, they didn't look like good people.
Wu Bandao tidied his clothes and did not reply. Instead, he took two steps forward and cupped his fists, saying, "Four esteemed brothers, this is the building of Yangyangyang Company. You need company identification to enter. Moreover, this is the side entrance. If you want to enter the company, it's best to go to the main entrance."
The four looked at each other but said nothing. They flashed forward and arrived in front of the two.
Wu Bandao and Zhang Dao instantly stood back-to-back.
Wu Bandao had expected that the security guard job would be like other places, just patrolling every day. Who would have thought that they would encounter such a situation on their first day at the company? He said helplessly, "We have to fight on our first day after joining the company. This ten thousand yuan is really not easy to earn!"
"Aren't you stating the obvious? Let's take down these four first. Maybe there'll be a bonus!" Zhang Dao was dismissive of Wu Bandao's words.
The next second, the four mysterious men attacked.
Although Wu Bandao and Zhang Dao didn't know martial arts, they had developed a set of "rogue kung fu" over the years, relying on their extremely strong physical fitness.
They relied on their tough physique to withstand the opponent's attacks.
However, after clashing with these people, Wu Bandao and Zhang Dao were immediately at a disadvantage.
Every move and every strike of these four mysterious men was aimed at killing.
The two were instantly wounded in several places.
"Big brother, these guys are tough. Let's call for backup!"
Wu Bandao could see that these four were extraordinary. If they continued to resist head-on, they might be in trouble.
Zhang Dao, however, snorted, "If the two of us can't handle them, what's the use of calling more people? Are they just coming to die?"
Regarding the security guards of Yangyangyang Company, Zhang Dao only thought that they had some fighting skills, but they were only slightly stronger than ordinary people.
Compared to these people in front of them, they were not on the same level at all.
"Survivors!" one of the mysterious men suddenly spoke.
The others nodded in agreement.
"Leave one alive to take back!"
These four mysterious men were all Grandmaster level.
And besides this identity, they had another one: the Thirty-Six Divine Envoys of the Holy Moon Divine Venerable!
They had been eyeing Yangyangyang Company for a long time.
This time, they were only here to investigate the company, but they didn't expect that the first people they encountered would be survivors, and these survivors were not ordinary survivors.
When Zhang Dao and Wu Bandao heard the word "survivors," their expressions changed. This word was told to them by Chen Yang.
The Bronze Tree could extract the power from within a survivor. According to Chen Yang, their strength was considered very strong among survivors.
Chen Yang had also said that besides him, the only ones who knew about survivors were the people of the Holy Moon Heavenly Venerable!
The Holy Moon Heavenly Venerable was very likely the one who killed Old Man.
Zhang Dao's face turned ashen, and he said word by word, "I never thought you guys would actually dare to come!"
"Which one of you is the Holy Moon Heavenly Venerable!" Wu Bandao also had a surge of anger in his heart.
The two had been orphans from a young age, and Old Man had adopted them. From Chen Yang, they learned that Old Man had occasionally asked for a drop of their blood to extract the power within them.
But after living together for so many years, they could genuinely feel Old Man's care and concern for the two of them.
Before Old Man died, he might have asked them to buy some joss paper in the city because he had sensed something and wanted them to go out to avoid disaster.
"How dare you utter the Holy Venerable's name! You're seeking death!" The four divine envoys spoke in unison, each unleashing their killing moves and attacking the two.
Seeing this, Zhang Bandao threw two talismans from his pocket to Zhang Dao.
"It seems the Holy Moon Heavenly Venerable didn't dare to come, so let's deal with you lackeys first!"
The two each placed a talisman on themselves.
"Please possess me, Grandfather!"
"Please possess me, Grandmother!"
The sky above Qingzhou City immediately became overcast, and two powerful auras flashed by.
Although it was only for a moment, Bei Xuan and the Twenty-Eight Constellations in the hotel also felt those two auras.
"What is that aura! So powerful!" Liao Zhonghai felt such a powerful aura for the first time. Most importantly, it was different from the aura of a martial artist.
A Constellation Grandmaster frowned and explained to everyone, "Those old monsters in Xue Lin have descendants in Qingzhou City!"
"Let's go and take a look!"
