On the street.
The sound of "tap tap tap" footsteps echoed.
In a corner, a super-powered individual held his breath, not daring to move, compressing his superpowers within, not daring to let them overflow. In the darkness, he silently listened as the footsteps gradually faded away, only then did he let out a slight breath.
For San Yang to deal with the black-armored soldiers, it was a matter of reaching out and capturing them.
But he couldn't.
As a super-powered individual at the Yue Ming and Yue Ying levels, he could command the elements and control the weather outside, as long as he didn't provoke the three major organizations and the Night Patrol, even the Sword Gate wouldn't rashly attack a super-powered individual at the Yue Ying level.
But here... not only were the elites of the major organizations present, but also, as soon as they entered the ancient city, a batch of Ri Yao super-powered individuals died.
Yue Ming, really didn't count for much.
Those black-armored soldiers, by feeling alone, might be the lowest-ranking soldiers in the ancient city, yet they could still kill Yue Ming, or even Ri Yao. Superpowers were too limited here.
At this moment, the super-powered individual thought about these things, feeling somewhat sad.
He actually didn't want to explore... but as a subordinate member of Yan Luo, if he dared to run now, it would be a dead end.
Yan Luo had trained them, and running meant betrayal.
Those who betrayed major organizations had no good end.
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly felt his hair stand on end.
In the darkness, a sharp sword instantly stabbed out!
A puff!
The head fell off.
Three armored figures appeared silently behind him.
Black-armored soldiers always made footsteps.
When the footsteps faded, it meant the black-armored soldiers had disappeared. Anyone who observed this had this concept.
And in fact, it was indeed so.
Black-armored soldiers always walked on the ground.
But the three in front were fake.
The disappearance of the footsteps was also the most relaxed moment for superpowers. After the three created the footsteps, they quickly eliminated the sound in the darkness. At this moment, with the abilities of martial artists, it was too easy to approach these super-powered individuals who had suppressed their superpowers without making a sound.
With black-armored soldiers present, superpowers couldn't be released, and this was something these people knew.
But without the assistance of superpowers, super-powered individuals were just ordinary people.
One sword, and they were killed!
Li Hao didn't recognize this person, but from the clothing, he was from Yan Luo.
Except for the Night Patrol, who couldn't be killed at will... others, if killed, so what?
Yue Ying... better than nothing.
Extracting all the superpowers, maybe 50 cubic meters could be extracted. After all, it was just Yue Ming, not Ri Yao. But at this moment, it was clearly impossible to extract all of it. Taking away a part was already good. A Yue Ying could probably provide 20 to 30 cubic meters.
20 to 30 cubic meters, absorbing it was actually a quick process.
As for the corpse, no special handling was needed.
The ground here was the best processor. It wouldn't take long for the place to return to its original state, and the corpse would be swallowed by the ground.
This was a city that devoured people!
Killing here, as long as it wasn't seen by others, the darkness would cover many dark and dangerous things.
After a moment, the sound of footsteps rang out again.
Living beings retreated!
Wearing black armor was the best protective tool.
As for the superpowers taken, Li Hao absorbed them as he walked, absorbing as much as he could. As for what overflowed... who cared?
Here, superpowers were everywhere.
Endless!
Once this was absorbed, killing another one would naturally lead to the next.
Li Hao naturally had no good feelings towards the major organizations, and for Liu Long, it was the same. Except for the Night Patrol, in his eyes, they were all heretics, all the scourges of the world.
One less, one less!
Behind him, the headless corpse was gradually swallowed by the ground.
...
Not far from where Li Hao and the others were.
Hu Po was waiting with two Yue Ming super-powered individuals.
After waiting for a long time, they looked at the house in front of them, all feeling very heavy.
Dead!
Just now, he had three subordinates at the Yue Ming level, but to investigate clearly, Hu Po sent one into a building that might be a tavern. As a result, only a muffled sound was heard, and then... no more movement.
These houses seemed like monsters that swallowed people.
Once entered, they never reappeared.
"Damn!"
Hu Po cursed, somewhat angry.
Dead!
This place was too dangerous.
They needed to avoid the constantly patrolling black-armored soldiers and investigate the situation, but they couldn't enter the houses, as entering meant disappearing.
Should they go back now?
Going back, how would they explain it?
If asked what they investigated, would they say the houses ate people... and that was it?
He turned his head to look at the other side of the street. Beyond the street, he vaguely saw some light. That side was brighter, possibly the inner city the Night Patrol mentioned.
Should they go there to check?
But Hu Po was also worried about the danger.
"No more waiting!"
He said in a low voice, no need to wait anymore. That subordinate was most likely dead.
If they continued to wait, the next wave of black-armored soldiers would come.
They had already figured out the pattern. A 10-person squad of black-armored soldiers would pass by every 10 minutes or so.
Although he was already at the Ri Yao level, Hu Po didn't dare to provoke these black-armored soldiers.
10 of them, he might not be able to fight, and even if he could, exposing his superpowers and attracting more black-armored soldiers would definitely mean his death.
Unfortunately, they didn't encounter any lone black-armored soldiers.
Actually, he was very interested in black-armored soldiers.
But these black-armored soldiers always moved in groups, with no lone ones... actually, there were, but the lone ones on the three streets nearby had all been dealt with by Li Hao and the others.
There were definitely more than three streets.
But the lone black-armored soldiers on other streets might have been secretly dealt with by others, or they hadn't been discovered yet.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps came again.
Hu Po's ears twitched, and he quickly hid with his two subordinates, suppressing their superpowers.
But Hu Po's eyes were somewhat unusual.
The footsteps... didn't seem to be many.
Yes, the other black-armored squads they encountered, one could tell there were many people, but this time, the sound seemed to indicate fewer people.
Gradually, they saw in the darkness.
There were very few!
"Three!"
Beside him, a super-powered individual at the Yue Ming level whispered, but his voice was so low that Hu Po glared at him fiercely!
No talking!
However, he was also surprised, only three...
Three Yue Ming... without many black-armored soldiers, the threat of the black-armored soldiers would be greatly reduced.
He was an earth-type, and he could target the black-armored soldiers by covering the ground with rocks and soil, which he could do. Of course, the range he could cover was not large, but even so, it was enough here.
Three black-armored soldiers!
Hu Po was slightly tempted at this moment. With so few people, if they were taken down, would it mean they could take three sets of armor individually?
Considering that the Wheel King and others had lost over a dozen lives and had San Yang personally act, they only managed to get 70 to 80 sets of black armor. If he could take three now...
Not to mention hiding them, if he contributed them, it would be a significant achievement, right?
After taking three sets of black armor, he might be able to return directly without further risky exploration. With the achievement of these three sets of black armor, he might be able to talk to the Wheel King.
He was a security captain by origin, and the Qiao family and Yan Luo seemed to have many connections.
But recently, the Qiao family was destroyed. Although he had advanced to the Ri Yao level, without the Qiao family, he still felt something was missing.
Moreover, the Qiao family had always provided him with money and wealth in exchange for superpowers, but now that channel was gone...
With these thoughts, Hu Po was somewhat tempted.
However, he still held back.
Let's observe first!
...
In the distance.
Li Hao and the three others were not black-armored soldiers, relying entirely on instinct. They were martial artists with excellent eyesight, and they could see the three people hiding under the eaves of a nearby house, motionless. Three living people, unless they were blind, they could naturally see them.
At this moment, Liu Long beside Li Hao suddenly moved his arm, pressing down on Liu Yan beside him.
Liu Yan didn't move.
Liu Long thought she couldn't resist, but Liu Yan held back.
After entering the ancient city, Liu Yan understood how dangerous this trip was.
As a martial artist, and one who had carried out many missions, although hatred made her crazy, being crazy didn't mean being foolish. She knew early on about the connection between the Qiao family and Yan Luo but had always held back.
Even when Qiao Peng constantly harassed her, she endured it.
Liu Long clearly underestimated her endurance.
Li Da Hu!
Yes, they saw Li Da Hu, Hu Po of Yan Luo.
This time, Liu Long and Liu Yan most wanted to kill this guy.
Liu Yan's steps were normal, and she didn't show any fluctuation upon seeing Li Da Hu, which made Liu Long slightly more at ease.
The three of them seemed not to notice and continued walking.
Their steps were uniform.
Gradually, they left Li Da Hu and the others behind.
But soon, they felt something different. The three... were actually cautiously following them from behind.
They didn't act just now because there were too many people, three, and it wasn't easy to move.
It would easily cause a big commotion.
So even though they saw their enemies, they chose not to act.
But they didn't expect these three to be so bold, actually following them.
Clearly, they didn't intend to act, but these three wanted to act against them.
Truly... bold!
On this street, there was still a 10-person squad of black-armored soldiers. Li Hao and the others knew that the 10-person squad would soon come. At this moment, the three continued walking, showing no signs of abnormality.
However, behind them, Liu Long quietly
