Chapter 302 What is that?! It's a dragon!!?! (Please vote with your monthly tickets!)
The highest point of the City of Injustice, the top floor of the City Lord's Mansion.

The huge floor-to-ceiling windows are like a dynamic painting, taking in the dazzling lights and turbulent undercurrents of the city below.

A tall and slender figure stood quietly by the window.

He looked down over the city he controlled.

The light outlined his deep features, but his face remained obscured, only an aura of detached indifference emanating from him.

Tuk Tuk.

A soft knock broke the silence.

"Enter."

The voice of the figure by the window was calm and emotionless.

The door slid open silently, and an elderly man in a dark gray robe with a stern face walked in without making a sound.

He stopped about three steps behind the figure, bowed slightly, and said in a low, respectful voice, "My lord."

"explain."

The figure by the window did not turn around; their gaze remained fixed on a certain part of the city below.

The old man's face showed an extremely rare solemnity, even some hesitation, but he still quickly reported: "The people of the Pantheon are hunting down the people sent by the Federation, and the commotion is quite large."

"Their people have already begun their divine transformation."

"Divine transformation?"

The voice of the figure by the window finally showed a very subtle fluctuation, carrying a hint of understanding and a cold, amused tone.

"It seems they're determined to wipe out the Federation this time, even resorting to their most secret and forbidden methods. Do they really think this is no-man's-land?"

He paused, seemingly wanting to continue his evaluation.

But the old man, unusually, interrupted him with an almost offensive urgency:

"My lord! There is one more thing! Hong Qitian from the Federation just asked me to convey a message to you."

The figure by the window finally turned around slowly.

The light illuminated half of his face, a contradictory face that was extremely young yet carried an endless sense of vicissitude, with deep eyes that seemed to contain stars.

He frowned almost imperceptibly.

He was clearly surprised by the old man's overstepping of bounds, but he was more concerned about Hong Qitian's words.

"explain."

It was still just one word, but it felt even colder than before.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on the old man's forehead, as if it took immense courage to utter those words.

He took a deep breath and said rapidly, "Hong Qitian said that if Fang Qingyu loses even a single hair in that godforsaken place of yours, I'll use my remaining blade to cleave that damn ball in two!"

The air solidified instantly.

After the old man finished speaking, he immediately lowered his head deeply, not daring to look at the face of the person by the window.

The anticipated fury did not immediately materialize.

A fleeting look of surprise crossed the young yet weathered face by the window, followed by a strange, peculiar smile that slowly curved the corners of his lips, as if he had heard an absurd joke or had been tickled on some sensitive spot.

"Ah"

A soft laugh echoed in the silent space, carrying a hint of mockery, a hint of helplessness, and more of an understanding that it was just as expected.

"That old geezer does nothing but scare people with his broken knife all day long. He's been doing the same thing for years."

He shook his head slightly and turned his gaze back to the area outside the window.

His tone returned to its previous indifference, as if he intended to ignore Hong Qitian's threat:

"Do not care"

However, he had not yet uttered the last word, "he".

"I'll scare your grandma's legs!!!"

"You worthless bastard! What are you pretending to be? I wasn't coming in because I was being lenient with you! Don't fucking piss off!"

"If even a single hair on Fang's head gets caught in this broken pot of yours, I'll chop you to pieces and feed you to the fish, you believe me?! Damn it!"

……

Hong Qitian's voice was like a flood that had been released.

It is mixed with all sorts of offensive slang and affectionate terms that insult the other person's ancestors.

The sound echoed wildly in this space.

The voice carried a reckless arrogance and a fierce protectiveness.

It felt as if the old man carrying a fishing rod and wearing a tattered military coat was about to kick open the door, rush in, and start cursing at us.

The young figure by the window suddenly stiffened.

That once calm, weathered young face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

You can even see faint throbbing veins on his forehead.

He clenched his fist tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force, and a trace of his originally restrained aura leaked out uncontrollably.

Instantly, the air in the entire top-floor space became thick and heavy.

Hong Qitian's distinctive cursing still echoed in the space, its lingering sound never ceasing.

"You little brat! Did you hear me?! Answer me!"

City of injustice.

On the main road leading from the inner city to the eastern district.

Several modified minibuses roared with their engines, weaving through traffic like wild beasts, drawing horns from surrounding vehicles and a chorus of curses.

In the passenger seat of the lead car.

Chu Kuanglan's forehead was covered in sweat, his thick fingers gripped the handrail tightly, his eyes wide open, and he kept urging the driver, "Faster! Brother! Faster!"

The young man driving gritted his teeth.

The accelerator was almost pressed into the gas tank, and the engine roared at the top of its lungs.

The back of the train was packed with people.

Lin Yu sat in the row behind Chu Kuanglan, her delicate brows furrowed, her pretty face filled with solemnity.

Sitting next to and behind her were all the other members of Dawn.

Including her, there are a total of thirty-seven people.

The back compartment was packed with more than thirty members of Dawn.

Lin Yu sat in the seat behind Chu Kuanglan, her delicate brows furrowed, her beautiful face covered with a layer of frost.

Seeing Chu Kuanglan's almost explosive state, she asked in a deep voice, "What exactly happened? Kuanglan, calm down and explain!"

Chu Kuanglan wiped away his sweat and forced himself to calm down.
He quickly recounted how he and Qi Hao were ambushed that morning, how they were rescued by a mysterious figure from the Bauhinia Society, and his speculation that other team members had also encountered danger.

"If it weren't for that big brother from the Bauhinia Society suddenly showing up, Haozi and I would definitely be done for."

"Rat has taken that guy back to the Gray Rock District to find a doctor. As for the others, we've made contact with Lao Lu and his group. They were also ambushed. Our goal now is to rescue Lao Lu and the others!"

Chu Kuanglan's voice was filled with lingering fear.

"All of them are Tier 3?"

Lin Yu's heart sank.

"should be."

Chu Kuanglan had barely finished speaking.

The phone in my pocket started vibrating violently.

He quickly pulled it out and saw Wei Banmeng's name flashing on the screen.

Chu Kuanglan answered the call immediately, almost shouting, "Banmeng! Are you alright?! Be careful! If you run into..."

"We're fine."

On the other end of the phone, Wei Banmeng's cold voice interrupted Chu Kuanglan's warning, "The ambush has been resolved. Where are you? We're coming to meet you now."

"solved?!"

Chu Kuanglan was stunned, almost thinking he had misheard.

They were being chased like stray dogs by three third-tier enemies, while Wei Banmeng actually managed to resolve the situation?

He subconsciously focused on his own situation.

In particular, the matter of that mysterious member of the Bauhinia Society was revealed.

"Those must be the surviving members of Chairman Yan's team."

Wei Banmeng's voice carried a hint of understanding, then she quickened her pace and dropped a bombshell, "Kuanglan, listen to me, the situation is worse than we thought."

"The Bauhinia Society no longer exists. Its headquarters has been completely infiltrated, and the former president and most of its core members are missing. President Yan, like us, was also one of the targets of the ambush!"

"There are currently no members of the Federation left in the entire Bauhinia Society."

"My grass!"

Chu Kuanglan gasped, feeling a chill run from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

Will the entire Bauhinia family be destroyed?!

That's a behemoth with hundreds of third-tier martial saints and apostles, and hundreds of second-tier elites.

It is the foundation of the Federation in the City of Injustice.

If this news gets out, the entire Federation will be shaken.

He blurted out instinctively, "This is fucking serious!!"

"There's no time to be shocked right now."

Wei Banmeng's voice was unusually calm, yet tinged with urgency, "Make sure our own people are safe first! You just said you contacted Lu Jiuyuan and the others? In Rust Alley?"

"Yes! Lin Yu and I are on our way there with some people!"

Chu Kuanglan answered immediately.

"Okay!" Wei Banmeng's voice was firm and decisive. "Su Wanqing and I are also on our way to the location where Lao Qin and the others were attacked. After you rescue Lao Lu and the others, immediately..."

The two of them stopped talking almost at the same moment.

The 10 people were divided into five groups.
Both of their teams are fine, and adding Lao Lu and Lao Qin's teams, which have already been contacted, further details are also available.
That leaves only two people.

A chill and anxiety gripped both the people on either end of the phone.

Chu Kuanglan and Wei Banmeng's voices rang out almost simultaneously on the phone.

"Where are Qingzi and Jiang Wei?!"

Limestone area.

In front of the casino newly acquired by the Green Dragon Gang.

The crowd was full of people.

Liu San stood with his hands on his hips on a makeshift wooden platform at the warehouse entrance, his face beaming with the satisfaction of overcoming hardship, spitting as he gave instructions:

"To the left! Move that machine on the left half a meter in! Yes! Right there! The feng shui spot! Understand?! From now on, the God of Wealth will sit there!"

"Hey you! Make sure the tarpaulin on the safe is covered up properly! Don't let it get dusty! It's full of money!"

"And those boxes of chips! Handle them carefully! If even one corner gets chipped, I'll deduct half a month's wages!"

His voice was loud and clear, and he was full of energy. Looking at the casino layout that was beginning to take shape in the warehouse, he seemed to see mountains of gold and silver beckoning to him.

Finally, there's something to look forward to!

Just as Liu Sanzhi was feeling smug and was about to take out his cigarette case for a satisfying puff...
Squeak—!!
A screeching sound of brakes suddenly rang out.

A taxi, as if out of control, swerved violently on the concrete ground in front of the warehouse. The tires screeched and emitted a pungent blue smoke and a burnt smell. The front of the car narrowly missed a Green Dragon Gang member who was carrying a box, and the man was so frightened that he fell to the ground, dropping the box.

"Damn it! Which blind bastard is this?! Are you looking for death?!"

The smile on Liu San's face instantly turned into fury.

He rolled up his sleeves and rushed over, ready to drag the driver out and give him a good scolding.

However, the taxi's back door was suddenly pushed open.

Qi Hao, carrying the blood-soaked, barely breathing member of the Bauhinia Society on his back, staggered off the car. His face pale, he shouted to Liu San, who was rushing towards him, "Third Brother! Quick! Find me a doctor! You must save him! I'll pay any price!!"

The curse that Liu San was about to utter was swallowed back down.

His expression changed drastically, and he immediately rushed off the wooden platform: "Holy crap! Brother Su Hao?! Who the hell is this?! You guys were ambushed by the Blood Wolf Gang?! They dare to retaliate?!"

He roared at the stunned gang members beside him, "What the hell are you all standing there for?! Can't you see he's about to die?! Get him a stretcher! Go find Old Li! Tell him to bring all his best medicine! Now!!!"

The gang members suddenly realized what was happening.

He rushed into the warehouse in a panic to find something and call for help.

Liu San no longer had time to scold the taxi driver.

He stepped forward and carefully helped Qi Hao lay the wounded man flat on the stretcher, asking anxiously, "Brother Su Hao! What the hell happened?! You were ambushed by the Blood Wolf Gang?! How dare they use such deadly methods?!"

He subconsciously assumed it was the Blood Wolf Gang retaliating for disrupting the event the previous night.

Qi Hao, panting heavily, watched the wounded being quickly carried away and felt a little relieved.

He was just about to make up some excuse to get by.

boom! boom! boom!
Several roaring SUVs sped towards us like ferocious beasts.

The car screeched to a halt at the warehouse entrance.

The car door opened, and Lei Meng, along with several trusted high-ranking members and more than a dozen core gang members, jumped out of the car, their faces showing a mixture of excitement and urgency.

"Third brother! Quick! Gather all the able-bodied brothers! Grab your weapons and get in the car!"

As soon as Lei Meng got out of the car, he shouted loudly at Liu San, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Liu San and Qi Hao were both stunned.

"Boss? What's wrong? What happened?"

Looking at Lei Meng's display of force, and then at Qi Hao, who was in a complete mess, Liu San was momentarily stunned.

Lei Meng's gaze swept over the wounded man on the stretcher and Qi Hao, whose face was covered in blood. He frowned slightly, but at this moment, he clearly had something more important to do.

He spoke rapidly, "I just received confirmed news! A massive force field has appeared on the main overpass connecting the outer and inner cities in the east of the city! Its area is extremely large!"

"It must be the City Lord's Mansion or some major power in the inner city hunting down this big guy. This is a great opportunity to fish in troubled waters! If you go too late, you won't even get a sip of soup!"

Liu San's eyes lit up instantly when he heard the term "super-large force field".

This is a classic way for underworld gangs in Injustice City to make their fortune.

The powerful forces tackle the tough challenges ahead, while the smaller fry pick up the scraps or leftovers, often making a fortune in the process.

Such opportunities are rare and hard to come by.

"Understood, boss!" Liu San temporarily put Qi Hao's matter out of his mind.

He immediately yelled at the top of his lungs towards the warehouse, "Brothers! Grab your weapons! Everyone who can move, get on the truck! There's some fat meat! Hurry up!!"

The warehouse erupted in excitement, and the gang members, who had been exhausted just moments before, were now energized.

They all squeezed into the SUVs that Lei Meng had brought and the two dilapidated vans that came from behind.

Qi Hao looked at the chaotic and wild scene, and the words he wanted to explain got stuck in his throat.

He originally intended to stay in the warehouse to look after the people of the Bauhinia Society.

But that's it.

One of the underlings who had come with Lei Meng was excitedly talking to the person next to him.

"...Really, my cousin went in and saw it. He said the commotion on the overpass was terrifying, with flashes of golden light like thunder! It must have been a big shot from the City Lord's Mansion! In a scene like this, even picking up scraps would be worth it!"

Golden lightning!?
Qi Hao's heart skipped a beat.

This description is so similar to Fang Qingyu's Shenxiao.

Could it be that the force field on the overpass is on Aoko's side?
He immediately looked toward the stretcher, where the doctor had already rushed over with his medical kit.

They are urgently handling the situation for the Bauhinia Society.

The wounded are being cared for for the time being.

Without any hesitation, Qi Hao took advantage of the chaos, suddenly opened the back door of a van, and squeezed in amidst the astonished gazes of the others.

"A rat? You?"

Liu San had just finished getting his men into the car when he saw Qi Hao squeeze in as well, which surprised him.

"Third Brother, I'll go with you! More people mean more help!"

Qi Hao was panting, but his eyes were resolute.

Looking at the bloodstains on his face and his determined eyes, Liu San assumed he was also spurred on by the chance to make a fortune, and patted him hard on the shoulder: "Good lad! You've got guts! Hold on tight!"

On the viaduct.

Faced with the two charging at him, Fang Qingyu advanced instead of retreating.

"Thunderous World-Burning Slash!"

Fang Qingyu gave a low shout, and the Dragon Sparrow Slashed Evil upwards diagonally.

On the blade.

The raging golden divine flames and the deep, abyss-like black dragon flames instantly merged and surged together.

A terrifying blade of energy, tens of meters long and crackling with lightning and black flames, tore through the sky and slashed out with overwhelming divine might.

Completely block all attack routes of the Ghost Chariot and the Serpent Body.

"Roar?!"

"hiss?!"

A hint of surprise flashed across the eyes of both the Ghost Chariot and the Serpent Body.

This blade aura, a fusion of Divine Firmament and Black Flame, far surpassed their estimation of Fang Qingyu's power.

Especially this golden lightning.
It even carried a hint of something that made them instinctively wary.

Forced.

The two fierce-looking deities abruptly stopped their forward momentum.

The ghost chariot's wings flapped wildly, stirring up a dark red gale resembling a bloody storm, while its snake-like tail coiled and whipped up towering waves of water vapor to block the attack with all its might.

Boom! Boom! Boom—!!!
The blade's energy clashed violently with the divine magic body's defense.

Deafening explosions rang out one after another.

The dark red gale was ignited and torn apart by the black flames, and the giant waves of water vapor were evaporated and shattered by the thunder.

The terrifying shockwave further ripped open huge trenches in the already damaged viaduct surface.

The ghost carriage and the serpent's avatar were forced back dozens of meters by this domineering strike that combined the might of the dragon and the divine power.

It hovered in the air, looking somewhat disheveled.

His aura surged, and even fine scorch marks appeared on his scales and feathers.

However, after being forced back this time, the two ferocious gods did not immediately pounce again.

In their inhuman eyes, the previous ferocity had been replaced by a strange intoxication and greed.

They seemed to be trying to adapt to the immense power borne by this mortal body, and also seemed to be sensing something.

The main head of the ghost car suddenly turned to Fang Qingyu's back.

The area of ​​crimson flames that shot into the sky and had not yet completely dissipated.

That is, the battlefield between Jiang Wei and the gray-clad apostle.

The huge nostrils twitched forcefully.

"Hiss... Yes... it's her scent."

The Serpent Body also sensed it, its tongue flicking in and out, emitting a hoarse, intermittent sound, and its vertical pupils bursting with terrifying light!

"Female Demon."

The ghostly body emitted a low growl from its throat, like sandpaper being rubbed, filled with greed and desire.

It was as if a ferocious beast, starving for millennia, had finally caught the scent of an unparalleled delicacy.

"It's her, isn't it!?"

"Yes Yes."

The serpentine body responded greedily, its enormous tail thumping excitedly into the air with a dull thud.

The next second, the two ferocious god avatars completely ignored Fang Qingyu, who was standing with his knife.

It was as if he were just an insignificant obstacle.

All they could see was the direction where the flames were shooting into the sky.

"Step aside"

The ghostly avatar growled hoarsely at Fang Qingyu, with a commanding tone, "We... won't kill you. You can run now."

Upon hearing this, Fang Qingyu was slightly taken aback.

Then, as if he had heard the most absurd joke in the world, he couldn't help but chuckle and look at the two of them.

"Are you misunderstanding something?"

The Dragon Sparrow Blade in his hand hummed even louder, its tip pointing diagonally towards the sky.

The raging divine light and the profound dragon flames once again converged wildly on the blade.

Fang Qingyu's voice was not loud.

Yet it clearly pierced through the aftershocks of the explosion, resounding in the ears of the two ferocious gods:

"Those who should run"

"It looks like it's you guys."

The moment he finished speaking, Fang Qingyu's figure vanished.

All that remained was a blurry afterimage created by the high-speed tearing of the air and a ring of spreading lightning ripples.

"Roar?!" "Hiss?!"

A look of astonishment and rage flashed simultaneously in the eyes of both the Ghost Chariot and the Serpent Body.

This insignificant ant dares to provoke us?!
However, their anger didn't even have time to translate into an attack.
hum! ! !
Fang Qingyu's figure appeared in the void above them as if by teleportation.

He gripped the Dragon Sparrow Slash tightly with both hands and raised it high above his head.

"The Dragon Edict of Yuanyue!"

Fang Qingyu uttered four heavy syllables that sounded like the roar of an ancient dragon.

boom--! ! !
The Dragon Sparrow Slashes Down with ferocious force.

A pure and magnificent dragon-shaped blade aura, composed of golden divine lightning, surged in the wind!

It is over a hundred meters long, with prominent horns, eyes like the blazing sun, and a body composed of countless leaping bolts of lightning.

Between the flying scales and claws, the black flames of the azure dragon, capable of incinerating all things, were entwined.

The hundred-foot-long thunder dragon let out a roar that shattered the clouds and tore through the air.

It ferociously devoured the two divine avatars in the air.

The road leading from the limestone area to the viaduct.

There are still several kilometers to the edge of that super-large force field.

Traffic has been completely paralyzed.

The long line of cars resembled a lifeless centipede, stretching as far as the eye could see.

The sounds of horns, shouts, and engine roars mingled together, creating a deafening cacophony.

Vehicles of all sizes, painted with various gang symbols, filled the road and even spilled onto the wasteland by the roadside.

These were gang members from the limestone district and surrounding areas who had rushed there after hearing the news, hoping to get a share of the spoils from the super-large force field.

"Damn it! The traffic is so bad! By the time we crawl over, it'll be too late!"

Lei Meng slammed his fist on the steering wheel of the SUV in frustration, emitting a piercing horn sound.

He stared anxiously at the blocked road ahead and the increasingly clear, distorted halo of light in the distance. These kinds of opportunities to snag a bargain were all about speed.

"Boss, this won't do!"

Liu San, in the passenger seat, peeked out and made a quick decision: "Leave one driver in each car! Everyone else, get out with me! Let's take the shortcut and run! Any later and it'll be too late!"

"it is good!"

Lei Meng was a decisive man. He immediately pushed open the car door and jumped out, yelling, "Everyone! Get out! Grab your weapons! Run with me! Anyone who falls behind gets nothing!"

The order was passed on quickly.

The doors of several SUVs and vans slammed open, and dozens of elite members of the Green Dragon Gang jumped out, carrying a variety of weapons.

Under the leadership of Lei Meng and Liu San.

Like a pack of wolves released from their cages, they left the main road and plunged into the relatively open but uneven wasteland beside them, sprinting wildly toward the force field.

There are quite a few gangs that have made the same choice as them.

Soon, streams of people gathered on the wasteland, like rivers flowing into the sea, all heading straight for that force field.

Everyone was panting heavily.

His face showed excitement and a hint of greed.

Qi Hao ran alongside the Green Dragon Gang members, his heart pounding.

The closer he got, the stronger his premonition became that Aoko was just ahead.

at last.

They rushed to the edge of the force field.

That invisible barrier, like ripples on water, isolated the sounds from both inside and outside.

It was deathly silent inside, with only distorted light.

"Damn it, I hope there's still some left!"

A burly gang leader licked his lips, unable to contain himself any longer. With a thought, his body instantly disappeared into the force field ripples.

Seeing this, others also rushed toward the twisted entrance.

Lei Meng waved his hand: "Go!"

Liu San, Qi Hao, and dozens of Qinglong Gang members followed closely behind, stepping into the force field.

hum!
The world switched instantly.

The deafening noise of the city was replaced by absolute silence.

The air became thick and heavy, carrying a pungent smell of burnt bits and ozone.

However, just as their senses adjusted to the eerie silence and their vision cleared,
hold head high--! ! !
A dragon's roar suddenly erupted above them, and the overpass exploded with a deafening roar.

The dragon's roar caused everyone who had just stepped into the force field, including martial saints like Lei Meng and Liu San, to instantly feel their minds go blank.

My heart felt as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible giant hand, and my blood almost froze.

They instinctively looked up sharply in the direction of the sound.
Then, they witnessed a scene they would never forget.

A colossal dragon, over a hundred meters long and composed entirely of wildly leaping golden lightning, is swooping down from the highest heavens with an unparalleled might that could crush stars.
Deep black flames coiled around the dragon's body.

The dragon's eyes, like two blazing golden suns, illuminated this force field space.

It also illuminated the two tiny figures below, as small as dust, who were bursting out with dark red and cyan-black divine light in an attempt to resist!

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

All gang members who entered the force field, regardless of their strength or previous greed, were now as if frozen in place.

The greedy, excited, and fierce look on his face was instantly replaced by boundless fear and a sense of insignificance.

It turned into a lifeless, ashen void.

They opened their mouths wide, but could not utter a sound. They could only watch helplessly as the thunderous dragon, representing absolute destructive power, crashed into the overpass below with world-destroying force.

The reinforced concrete bridge deck was crushed by that thunderous dragon.

Like a fragile cookie, it groaned in pain before snapping open with a loud crash.

Countless massive steel bars twisted and broke, and concrete fragments scattered like a torrential rain.

The broken bridge structure carried immense weight.

It crashed down onto the ground below, sending plumes of dust billowing into the sky and instantly obscuring half of the heavens.

After delivering this earth-shattering, destructive blow, the golden thunder dragon slowly dissipated into the billowing smoke and fading lightning.

All that remains is a massive, shocking breach, over a hundred meters long.

Like a hideous scar on the earth.

Lei Meng, Liu San, and the others who were running at the front suddenly stopped as if they had been frozen in place.

Everyone stared in disbelief at the horrific sight of the broken viaduct.

His mouth was so wide open that a fist could fit inside.

All the expressions on his face froze completely at that moment.

All that remained was boundless shock and a deep-seated fear!
What...what is that?!

That's a dragon?!
