In the darkness.
Outside the outer walls of the ancient city, there was a vast open space.
At this moment, a large number of superhumans had gathered here.
Hu Dingfang scanned the area several times but didn't see Li Hao, and his expression turned rather unpleasant.
When the people from Yanluo came to question why he hadn't mentioned the black armor earlier, Hu Dingfang gave the King of Reincarnation a cold stare for a long time before finally saying coldly, "Are you willing to tell me how many benefits and dangers there are in the ruins that Yanluo discovered?"
"Is there something wrong with your brain, or mine?"
The King of Reincarnation's face turned cold: "Hu Dingfang, do you really think you are invincible here? At the late stage of the Three Yang, do you think you are already on par with Xu Guang?"
Hu Dingfang's strength was actually a bit weaker than theirs.
Yet, this guy was acting as if he ruled the world!
He didn't give Ziyue any face, nor the King of Reincarnation any face. Does he think the Night Patrol is invincible?
Feitian has always been mysterious and might not join the attack.
But Ziyue, that's a different story.
He and Ziyue together, dealing with Hu Dingfang and Hao Lianchuan, would be too easy. Is this guy asking for death?
Hu Dingfang said calmly, "Alright, try to touch me! The Tiger Wing Army has only prepared 10 city-destroying bombs. If I don't get out, or if I'm not the first to get out... as long as you can withstand 10 city-destroying bombs, there will be no problem! Reincarnation, don't think too highly of yourself. Do you really think I have no preparations?"
His eyes were cold as he glanced at them and sneered, "I don't think you have the guts! Or do you think the people from the Central Region can help you block the city-destroying bombs?"
The King of Reincarnation's face turned grim!
Not just him, but from a distance, Ziyue's face also turned cold as he looked at Hu Dingfang.
City-destroying bombs!
This is also one of the military's trump cards. Such large-scale weapons are highly classified, and a province might only have a few, all controlled by the military high command.
The three major organizations are strong, but not strong enough to infiltrate the military high command.
Of course, in some provinces, the military and superhuman organizations cooperate, which is a different story.
In Yincheng, the only ones who could control the city-destroying bombs were the commanders of the three armies, and Hu Dingfang was one of them. The other two commanders included the nominal commander of the central army.
As soon as Hu Dingfang finished speaking, Ziyue said coldly from a distance, "So, if you, Hu Dingfang, die in the ruins, you will also use the city-destroying bombs? Do we have to protect your safety? How ridiculous!"
He sneered, "Without you, who has the authority to control the city-destroying bombs?"
"My wife!"
Hu Dingfang said calmly, "My wife is good in every way, except for her big picture thinking! If I die and don't get out, she won't care about the so-called big picture... don't believe me? You can try it out."
Upon hearing this, everyone frowned.
They didn't expect Hu Dingfang to have such arrangements.
However, after some consideration, no one said anything.
Even if the city-destroying bombs were really launched, most people would probably die, but Ziyue and the King of Reincarnation still had a chance. With a source spirit weapon in hand and the peak strength of the Three Yang, they might survive if they fled in time, though they would be severely injured, which was inevitable.
Moreover, if everyone brought in dies... there would be no way to explain it.
After all, they were just branch leaders, not the main leaders.
Hu Dingfang sneered and ignored them, scanning the area again but still not seeing Li Hao. He couldn't help but look at the small town-like place in the distance, which was the outer city.
Could it be... Li Hao and the others mistakenly entered the outer city?
This would be very troublesome!
If he came alone, he wouldn't mind going in to look for them now, but since he had promised Hou Xiaochen, and there were a group of Night Patrol members following him, if he left, and if Hongyue and Yanluo decided to kill... Hao Lianchuan wouldn't be able to stop them.
He was somewhat frustrated but helpless.
Thus, he became even more annoyed with Ziyue and the King of Reincarnation.
If it weren't for the fact that his strength was indeed a bit weaker than theirs... or maybe not, he was still very confident. After all, he was a superhuman who had advanced from a martial artist and was proficient in the Five Animal Techniques.
The Five Animal Techniques are not a secret, but without the Five Animal Breathing Method, they are useless.
But he knew the Five Animal Breathing Method, so the Five Animal Techniques were very effective.
Therefore, he was not afraid of either of them.
But if both of them attacked together... he probably wouldn't be able to match them.
At this moment, a figure quickly ran out from the city, moving very fast, like the wind, quickly leaving the outer city and flying outside the city.
In the city, even he, a Three Yang of the Wind element, wouldn't dare to fly.
In a blink, the figure appeared next to the King of Reincarnation.
He leaned in and whispered a few words.
Only his lips moved, but no sound was heard.
Everyone looked at Yaocheng, and the King of Reincarnation's face remained unchanged, but he cursed inwardly, "Waste of time!"
It was just a reconnaissance, and they already knew the weakness of the black armor, yet they lost a Sunlight. What a waste!
He glanced at Hong Yitang not far away, somewhat puzzled.
Hong Yitang was a martial artist by origin, and his disciples were also martial artists, though their strength was around the level of cutting ten or breaking a hundred, which was not enough to kill Hu Po.
Who killed Hu Po?
Was it really the black armor?
The King of Reincarnation didn't mention this but said, "Yaocheng has investigated clearly. There are nine streets in the outer city, and each street has black-armored soldiers patrolling. Some have ten soldiers, some have only one."
"There are about a hundred black-armored soldiers in the entire outer city."
"Once they attack, their superhuman abilities will quickly activate... but this is just the outer city area. Closer to the inner city, Yaocheng only saw many soldiers from a distance. The ones we killed might have come from there."
He briefly introduced the situation to everyone and tried to win over the other organizations.
Since the Night Patrol wouldn't speak, I will.
As for these secrets, if someone is willing to investigate, they can find out.
"My current plan is to clear the black-armored soldiers in the outer city, use it as a base, and then gradually eliminate the black-armored soldiers between the inner and outer cities... once we clear these soldiers, we will have a chance to enter the inner city!"
He then asked, "Also, I want to ask the Night Patrol, why can't we enter the houses in the outer city? What's inside? We have several superhumans enter, and they all disappeared without a trace!"
Hao Lianchuan sneered, "You ask us? How would we know? The houses in the outer city can't be entered; anyone who enters dies. If you have the ability, go investigate yourselves!"
The King of Reincarnation's face turned grim.
Beside him, Hong Yitang spoke up, acting as a mediator, and asked, "Minister Hao, I have a question. Can these soldiers not leave the outer city?"
"Correct!"
Hao Lianchuan didn't hide it, "As you might have noticed, their power source is underground, and the ground is only laid to the edge of the outer city square. Once they leave the square, they lose their power and are as good as dead!"
Hong Yitang asked, "Is it possible to lure them to the square and then attack them from a distance, like flying a kite, gradually eliminating them?"
If this works, it might be worth a try.
Superhumans are not martial artists.
They can attack from a distance.
This suggestion made many people look at Hao Lianchuan. Perhaps the Night Patrol had tried it, and if it worked, it could be a viable option.
Seeing their gazes, Hao Lianchuan thought for a moment and said, "As long as we don't enter the outer city, they won't attack. As for attacking from a distance... you need to break their armor first, otherwise, it won't be very effective!"
"Moreover, they will retreat!"
They won't just stay there and let you attack them.
Everyone frowned again.
"Does that mean, if we enter the outer city, they will send reinforcements from the inner city to eliminate us?"
Hao Lianchuan smiled, "Not really. As long as we don't make noise, fly, or use superhuman abilities... the soldiers won't bother us! According to the Night Patrol's judgment, they only attack those who disobey or break their rules! What is breaking the rules? Not following the no-combat order, both in the outer and inner cities!"
Everyone cursed inwardly.
No combat?
So many superhumans came here, not for a tour, but with a purpose, even to enter the inner city. No combat, what's the point?
Someone asked, "If we don't attack and just approach the black-armored soldiers, will they kill us? Without using superhuman abilities... just approaching them, will it provoke them?"
This question made many people reconsider.
If approaching them doesn't provoke them, it would be easier to deal with them.
Ambushing, assassinating, or setting traps would be more convenient than direct confrontation.
"If superhuman abilities can't hide... what about martial artists?"
The person added.
Hao Lianchuan looked at the
