Facing Li Cheng頤's question, the silver-gray figure did not answer. It only walked step by step out of the red light's range.

At that moment, Li Cheng頤 keenly noticed that on the tripod behind the figure, a palm-sized silver metal key had appeared at some point.

"That's the key!?" He felt a surge in his heart, and a golden longsword materialized out of thin air in his right hand.

This was the golden longsword that Jian Lan came with, and after entering the ultimate form, Jian Lan's longsword had also undergone subtle changes.

It was stronger, sharper, and looked more ornate and exquisite.

*Chi!*

In an instant, the silver-gray figure and Li Cheng頤 bowed and dashed towards each other simultaneously.

Claws and golden sword crossed paths in an instant. *Yuan!*

Amidst a huge, ear-splitting crash, the silver-gray figure was sent flying more than ten meters by the tremendous force, almost falling from the rooftop.

"Someone else is around!?" A white shadow flashed.

A visible ripple instantly emerged from beneath him and exploded.

*Boom!*

At this moment, Li Cheng頤's entire body seemed to be composed of countless slender, sharp golden sword thorns.

The tip of the sword in his hand heavily tapped the ground.

Countless Jian Lan petals quickly adhered to his body, condensing into a set of golden, gorgeous armor that was completely different from before.

Jin Jian, as if possessed, also grabbed the octagonal frame on the other side.

Pausing for a moment, the silver-gray figure roared and charged towards Li Cheng頤 again.

"How long have they been there?" he asked again.

Suddenly, a faint noise came from the stairwell on the roof.

In an instant, red light flashed, covering his entire body, and the silver-gray figure's entire body suddenly accelerated.

"Give it back!! The key!!" Repeated eight times!

Although their concealment was strong, it lacked the effect of isolating sound. Even just the sound of breathing was enough to raise his vigilance.

"Answer my question," Li Cheng頤 said sternly.

Purple sand-like petals fluttered and swirled around him, instantly transforming into golden Jian Lan petals.

Jin Jian and Qiong An's expressions changed drastically simultaneously. Fear +3.

His name was Jin Jian, and he had been in the Dark City's Dead Angle for who knows how long.

Without guessing, Li Cheng頤 could tell that these two should be high-ranking individuals from other countries.

A violent explosion erupted. *Boom!!!* Therefore...

A golden ring, with him as the center and a radius of ten meters, suddenly ignited with transparent golden flames from the ground.

"Since I can't dodge..."

"Take it, and walk straight in one direction of the city, to the end, and a transparent door will appear! That's the invisible door! It will only appear if you bring the key! As long as you recite the key phrase, you can enter the door and leave this place completely!" The woman, Qiong An, explained rapidly.

*Crack*

'It's too fast, I can't dodge it!' Flower Utterance: Hand of Addiction.

At that time, the team barely survived, using ordinary high-explosive chemical explosives and sacrificing several lives to barely bury the Stone Armor King temporarily in the depths of the ground.

"Faster, faster!!" The bald woman, Jin Jian, was running in the back, out of breath.

In an instant, the Stone Armor King flashed, breaking the sound barrier and slamming heavily into the ground indicated by the sword tip.

*Boom!*

Lightning flew out, landing on the silver-gray figure who was rapidly approaching a few meters away.

Li Ke颐 used a shadow flash to avoid the Stone Armor King's pounce and appeared on the street below.

The main reason they had been able to survive in this place for so long was the special life suits they possessed.

But the lightning that had been quite powerful before only created a layer of gray powder on the silver-gray figure before automatically dissipating.

The floor collapsed, and it fell in the blink of an eye.

"I don't know... Here, there is no day or night, we don't know the time.... We only know it's been a very, very long time...." Qiong An quickly answered. "You are so strong, you will definitely be able to find a new key, right? Can you take us out? We can give you a lot of money! A lot of money! We are very rich!"

That's right.

"How many people can a key allow to escape?" Li Cheng頤 walked up to the still-confused Qiong An and asked.

The woman was still screaming, but under the effect of the radiant force field, she couldn't be seriously injured at all. The wound on her severed limb was already beginning to heal...

Golden light reappeared, and her legs were severed at the roots. Immediately afterward, dazzling golden light illuminated, stopping the bleeding and cauterizing the wound. 'Disable her!!'

He casually tossed the two of them into the floor-to-ceiling windows of the shop on the side.

In front, from the waist of the office building, a silver figure leaped out, smashing through the glass and jumping towards them like a cannonball.

In fact, compared to other Dead Angle residents, their abilities and skills were far inferior.

And he still had to ensure that the two didn't die, lest he be forcibly removed from the Dead Angle after their deaths, and the monsters he faced upon re-entry would be much stronger, making it more difficult.

In a moment of desperation, he had no time to counterattack and could only have golden light erupt from his shoulder.

*Boom!!*

She was Qiong An, and also the middle-aged woman's biological daughter.

*Shua!*

Qiong An screamed in terror. *Boom!*

Many thoughts flashed through his mind.

As the sounds of collision continued to drift over, their battlefield was clearly moving away from here rapidly.

With a crashing sound, broken glass fell. As long as I grab the key, I can...

*Crack.*

The golden longsword bisected it, sending it crashing into the air beyond the rooftop.

"Quick! While the Stone Armor King is being lured away by that modified human!"

She didn't want to die! After enduring for so many years, seeing success just around the corner, she really, really didn't want to die!!

"It was... so close!! Just a little bit more!!"

Her daughter, Qiong An, however, was a bit younger and had already rushed into the red light area, reaching out to grab the silver key suspended in the center of the octagonal frame.

"What are you doing!?" Jin Jian screamed, rushing forward and grabbing at the key.

In a battle of strength, he was at a disadvantage.

As their movements changed drastically, their forms were quickly revealed, and the invisibility failed.

Fear +2.

The two quickly disappeared into the floors below, almost becoming invisible in the blink of an eye.

The golden light was scattered, and the Jian Lan in Li Cheng頤's hand was blasted away by a heavy blow, spiraling and exploding, transforming into countless golden petals.

Countless branch-like golden sword thorns appeared and piled up on his body, layer upon layer.

Many years ago, they first encountered the Stone Armor King. It was the same team wearing the monocled snake rings that activated and appeared.

*Hu!*

He dragged his legs across the ground, leaving behind thin scorch marks and vaguely creating a trail of sparks.

He braced his arms in front of him, finally blocking the blow in time.

But... they had tried many times but could not achieve this step.

Three beams of golden light erupted almost simultaneously at close range.

The immense impact sent him flying horizontally, crashing into the wall of the sunroom with a muffled thud. He lost consciousness in an instant.

Although the Flower Utterance ability was useful, and its power was much greater than before, able to control such a powerful monster before him.

But despite lacking those functions, their life suits had one extremely convenient aspect.

A pair of deep-red crystal eyes on his face glowed, and a crescent-shaped blade on top of his head, like a strand of hair tied up, pointed upwards, curving backwards and extending all the way to his waist.

The prepared Hand of Addiction and Shadow Flash not only obtained the key but also successfully lured the two of them over.

In the yellow firelight, Qiong An's face was pale.

"Hmm?" Li Cheng頤 was slightly surprised. Was this a strong person?

Whether it was the limbs, torso, or head.

Activating the octagonal frame, trapping the Stone Armor King, and obtaining the key.

A white palm slammed heavily on Jin Jian's shoulder.

Two invisible, transparent figures were quietly approaching the octagonal frame.

She suddenly thought of something, seemed to see hope, and began to beg.

This time, the six shields around him simultaneously lit up with different symbols of red light.

In an instant, the two accelerated, rushing towards the key floating inside the octagonal frame while invisible.

Powerful golden light, accompanied by the force of impact, collided head-on with the charging silver-gray figure.

Its speed was so fast that it was almost upon them as soon as they saw it.

Sharp sword blades protruded upwards from the shoulders, elbows, and knees.

Then the remaining people successfully obtained the key, opened the door, and left this place.

Unable to completely solve the problem.

Just as she was groaning in pain, the tip of a golden sword pointed at her brow, silencing her and preventing her from screaming.

The three were still in mid-air when Li Cheng頤 suddenly turned around and looked ahead.

"What's the key phrase!?"

Radiant Flash!

In a flash of lightning, Li Cheng頤 had not expected the opponent to be so fast.

The rooftop where the octagonal frame was located returned to silence.

"Is this the key?" Li Cheng頤 carefully examined the key in his hand.

Her scream hadn't even left her throat before Li Cheng頤 grabbed her hair and casually threw her to the side of the sunroom, where she crashed and broke bones all over, just like the previous person.

"Infinite resurrection?" Li Cheng頤 dropped the heavy sword and pointed his left hand diagonally at the ground. A black spear, more than a meter long, materialized out of thin air.

Therefore... they came up with a plan to wait for the rabbit...

Raising his hand, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and the flower scale armor on his arm suddenly disintegrated, transforming into countless wisteria petals.

The sound barrier exploded, and he instantly entered supersonic speed, and the speed was still rapidly increasing.

"Yes! There are three keys. Li En used one of them back then, and there should be two more! As long as enough people die, the keys will regenerate and condense! You are so strong, you will definitely be able to find another key easily!" Her Yi Kingdom language was very fluent, and coupled with her life suit, she claimed to be rich.

Far inferior to the effect of Rainbow Candy's life suit.

Two figures shot out from the rooftop like rockets, rushing into the waist of another tall building tens of meters away.

"...Can... take two people!" Qiong An gritted her teeth in pain, speaking intermittently.

The reason he deliberately lured away the silver-gray figure earlier was to test what the purpose of these two was.

*Boom!*

"Die!!" The remaining Qiong An broke free from the Flower Utterance and threw something at Li Cheng頤.

Li Cheng頤 suddenly turned around and swung the green electric heavy sword forward.

*Aiii...*

This was not a one-time use item! It could be recharged and used repeatedly!

"So..."

As for the two who had just appeared, he was not surprised.

From that moment on, they had firmly remembered the true method to leave this place.

*Chi!*

But the object was slashed through by a golden light before it could get close.

He was now pushing back the humanoid figure and was rushing towards the octagonal frame, trying to take the floating key.

A figure asked softly.

One of the two, wearing a full set of dusty, tattered suit, bald with golden hair, and a face full of橫肉(héngròu, excessive fat or muscle), was a middle-aged woman around seventy years old.

Being able to survive in a place like the Dark City, whether or not they had the ability, their willpower had long been tempered like steel.

But in the end, it was only control.

"Stone Armor King!! Don't fight it! It can resurrect infinitely!! You can't kill it!!" Qiong An screamed.

Suddenly, her hand twisted inexplicably to the right, grabbing the metal rod surface of the octagonal frame firmly.

"Those two monsters have gone far away! Are you sure there is no one else around!" The other person quickly answered.

Li Cheng頤 appeared behind the two, reached out, gently grasped the key, and took it down.

Not a strong person, most likely.

But before he could rush out a few meters, he was hit from the side by the silver-gray figure who had increased its speed.

"The cycle is getting shorter and shorter, you have no chance, as long as you promise to take me out, I can give you a lot of money, a lot of resources! I am a member of the Du Li En family of the Sultan Federation! We occupy eighty percent of the Sultan's basic minerals!! As long as you take me out..." Qiong An suddenly widened her eyes, her voice stopping abruptly.

"There are more than one key?" Li Ke颐 ignored her and continued to ask.

And that was because the bald Jin Jian himself was an internal management personnel of Weibang Energy, so he was able to obtain the internal special custom version.

Flower Utterance: Hand of Addiction.

"It doesn't matter, I can kill you and find it slowly. Li En and the others left behind many clues. I can always find them..." Li Ke颐 said indifferently.

He looked up at the Stone Armor King who was charging again.

With his perception, he had already discovered the concealment of these two when he came here.

"As long as you promise to take me out...!" Qiong An gritted her teeth.

Even the pain was slowly weakening. The result was as he expected.

A thought flashed through Li Cheng頤's mind.

Taking advantage of this moment, Li Cheng颐 picked up the two and leaped from the edge of the rooftop.

The father and daughter each grabbed a pole tightly, unable to move. No matter how they struggled, their bodies seemed to lose control, holding the poles tightly and refusing to let go.

This type of life suit lacked many functions compared to the complete version, leaving only the effects of hiding smell, heartbeat, and invisibility. Even magnetic fields, electric fields, and breathing sounds could not be eliminated.

The other one, also with golden shawl hair, wearing blue and white long clothes and trousers, was a beautiful and charming mature woman who had clearly undergone cosmetic surgery.

"What is the method of using the key?" he continued to ask.

"Mine!! That's my key!!" Jin Jian screamed, her eyes fixed on the key being taken away, her eyeballs bloodshot.

Ah!!

Many Dead Angle residents had entered with him back then, but in the end, only he and his daughter, Qiong An, were still alive.

Many elites and high-level officials of small and medium-sized countries would learn White Star language and Yi Kingdom language. This was a necessary foundation.

Flower Utterance: Destiny - Absolute Hit Blade (Within the golden ring, if any opponent enters and their power is lower than his own, their speed will be reduced by half. When the Flower Utterance ability is activated, the first strike in sword blade form will unconditionally hit.)
