In Long Zhanguo's office in the Military Hall.
"Minister Long, bad news! The Divine Runemasters from the Demon Alliance and Qiang Long Corporation are fighting in the capital! Many buildings nearby have been destroyed by them!"
At this moment, Long Zhanguo's female assistant rushed in. Her voice sounded before she even arrived.
Long Zhanguo, who was in the midst of reviewing documents, looked up and asked with a frown, "Why are they fighting? Did they hurt the innocent?"
The female assistant shook her head. "We don't know the reason yet. If this continues, they'll destroy everything within a ten-mile radius. As it is, there are already very few places for people to live…"
Long Zhanguo felt a headache coming on. He rose to his feet and quickly went to the conference hall on the top floor.
…
In the conference hall.
When Long Zhanguo arrived, Xuanyuan Wang Rui and Huang Mengguo were already there, watching the satellite projection that showed the violent battle.
"What's going on? This is giving me a headache," Long Zhanguo said as he took a seat and shook his head. He had not slept for a day and a night. There were too many things to deal with.
"Who knows how this Qiang Long Corporation offended the Demon Alliance?" Xuanyuan Wangrui said with a hint of helplessness.
As soon as his voice fell, the phone rang.
"What's the matter now?"
"It's bad, Minister Xuanyuan. The members of the Demon Alliance are fighting with Huang Yu Corporation in M City and Dong Sheng Corporation in Jiang City!"
"What?!"
The trio had a headache when they heard the latest report.
"What's the Demon Alliance trying to do?" Huang Mengguo asked in a deep voice.
"We can get Lin Chen to stop them in the capital," Xuanyuan Wang Rui said, "However, it won't be so easy to stop them in M City and Jiang City."
Long Zhanguo shook his head and said, "We can't stop them. As soon as Lin Chen makes a move, do you believe that Gu Changqing will come over immediately and slaughter the Divine Runemaster Alliance?"
"Then? Do we let them do whatever they want?"
"Otherwise, do you have a better solution?"
Huang Mengguo sighed heavily as he watched the battle on the screen. "This change has made us too passive. We really can't stop them. We can't afford to stop them."
…
Boom!
The battle outside Qiang Long Corporation was chaotic and violent.
The screams of ordinary people rang in the air.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
At this moment, the Divine Runemasters from the Dragon Emperor Organization rushed over and saved the civilians who had failed to escape.
Meanwhile, Tang Miao, the Savage Lion Divine Runemaster, swung the Savage Lion Saber, releasing saber rays that were dozens of meters long. He was like the king of the lion as he fought the two Divine Runemasters from Qiang Long Corporation.
"Trash! You dare to go against our Demon Alliance?"
The two Divine Runemasters were unable to defend themselves and were sent flying by the saber rays. Their armor already began to show cracks. It was clear that they would not be able to hold on any longer.
A few saber rays flew out indiscriminately and destroyed a few buildings.
"1,000-foot-long Demonic Saber! Die!"
A Demon Divine Runemaster activated his divine ability, and the saber in his hand grew to a thousand feet in length. With a loud boom, he easily defeated the Divine Runemaster from Qiang Long Corporation. Following that, his terrifying saber split a four-story building in half.
Instead of calling it a battle, it was more appropriate to call it a one-sided massacre.
…
On the other side…
Rumble!
After Su Yan was sent flying by Taotie's halberd, he crashed through multiple buildings, and when he landed on the ground, he formed a deep pit. Just like that, he died.
"B*stard, I'm going to kill you!"
At this moment, the ruins where Su Botian was lying in, suddenly exploded. Black flames raged on the surface of his armor as the pythons on his back hissed. At the same time, his energy began to rise.
"You don't have a chance," Taotie said indifferently as he raised his halberd.
Boom!
When Taotie swung the halberd and threw it out, a tyrannical energy surged out at lightning speed along with a ferocious roar.
Before Su Botian could attack, the fearsome halberd had already struck his chest. Just like that, his armor was shattered by the terrifying power, and he was sent flying back again. He crashed into a thick wall and slid down motionlessly.
"This is the consequence of not choosing the easy way out. You should've just obeyed the boss obediently," Taotie said coldly as he waved his hand to retrieve his halberd.
Taotie's armor was heavy and strong. Its defensive strength was very high and exuded an oppressive aura. Even a peak tier-six mutant beast could not withstand an attack from him. He did not even use his full strength to deal with these two small fry.
Su Botian was still breathing. He coughed violently, spitting out mouthfuls of blood before he said loudly, "Alliance Leader Lin, if you don't help us now, then don't blame me for talking too much."
Su Botian felt that he still had a chance to survive so he hurriedly threatened Lin Chen.
Lin Chen, who was observing the fight from the roof of Qiang Long Corporation's building, heard these words, and his eyes glinted coldly. With a swoosh, he landed near Su Botian. Then, he said with a smile, "Brother, why don't you let him go? Please do me this favor. You can have Qiang Long Corporation. What do you think?"
"Are you telling my Demon Alliancehow to do things? Are you worthy?" Taotie said as he looked at Lin Chen disdainfully, "I advise you not to meddle in other people's business. Otherwise, you'll have to bear the consequences."
Lin Chen's expression darkened when he heard Taotie's arrogant words.
Swoosh!
Lin Chen suddenly raised his hand and shot an energy beam at Su Botian, who was half embedded in the wall. The energy beam accurately pierced Su Botian's chest.
"You…"
Su Botian's eyes widened in disbelief as he spat out a mouthful of blood. After that, he died.
"Did you kill him to silence him?" Taotie sneered and said, "It seems like there are some shady dealings between the both of you. So this is the so-called leader of the Divine Runemaster Alliance? What a joke!"
"You've already broken all the bones in his body and destroyed his internal organs. I'm only freeing him from his pain," Lin Chen said calmly, "I won't disturb you any longer. Farewell."
After saying that, Lin Chen quickly left, breaking out in cold sweat. In fact, he was really worried earlier that Taotie would block his attack and save Su Botian. If that happened, his reputation would be ruined.
At this time, Li Dahai and the others flew over one after another, looking disappointed.
"Captain, it's done."
"It's too easy and boring. It's better to kill mutant beasts."
"Indeed. I didn't even use half of my strength, but they already couldn't withstand it."
"Let's go," Taotie said before he led them into Qiang Long Corporation's building.
…
In the conference hall on the top floor.
Xuanyuan Wangrui, Long Zhanguo, and Huang Mengguo's expressions were very gloomy. Their expressions became even gloomier when they watched the battle in M City through the satellite projection.
"How many Divine Runemasters does Gu Changqing have under his command?"
On the screen, the woman in the Vermillion Bird Armor was ridiculously strong just like Taotie. She single-handedly defeated two fifth-rank Divine Runemasters from Huang Yu Corporation. They were completely helpless against her.
