Heroes Return

"Damn it! All my hotel guests have run away because of these things!" A fat woman angrily slapped several dragons with her slippers.

A little girl selling sausages somehow managed to make the sausages look like a three-section staff. When Stein arrived, the ground was littered with the corpses of flying dragons.

But these aren't the most terrifying things. The most terrifying thing is the bald men scattered throughout the city. These men have mostly green eyes, and they are frantically hunting down the spectacular and terrifying flying dragons that are soaring through the sky.

Stein clearly heard that these people actually planned to sell the hides of the wyverns they had killed for money.

"Damn it! What's going on with this city! Why are there so many people with abilities everywhere!" Stein was shocked by everything he had seen and heard along the way.

No wonder this place is considered a crime-free zone. It's unbelievable that everyone in J City, from city management officers to street vendors, seems to be incredibly powerful individuals. Thinking about it, it's simply impossible for a single criminal or gang to commit crimes throughout the entire city.

Just as Stein was pondering, an extremely fast figure suddenly appeared beside him, and the next second that figure directly crushed the head of a wyvern that had just landed next to him.

Then the man disappeared from Stein's sight at lightning speed, leaving behind the words, "You're welcome! I'm just a deliveryman."

In fact, Stein, who had been injected with the serum, was completely immune to the attacks of those dragons.

Half an hour passed, and after dodging a master of selling pirated CDs, Stein finally completed the catalysis at the last location.

"This J City is far too dangerous! Its danger level surpasses that of many major organizations worldwide!" Stein finally understood why the company was willing to agree to the Salvation Army's deal and even tried to eliminate the Bachelor Temple. This place was simply terrifying.

Along the way, he even saw street singers, monkeys in the zoo, and a bunch of students. Of course, this also included various shop owners. These people all seemed to possess incredible, almost superhuman abilities.

"Holy crap! The food in J City must be awful!!!" Looking at the horrifying scene before him, Xiao Zhan couldn't help but exclaim, "Seriously, your French bread here could be used to slay dragons!!!"

"Is this why you still don't care?" Lin Jie said, looking at the terrifying number of flying dragons in the sky. At this time, there were tens of thousands of flying dragons in the sky, which looked like dark clouds from a distance.

"Well... I suddenly remembered I have something to do." Master Wuneng said, and then prepared to run away.

"Senior brother, are you planning to run away as abbot?" Master Wuliang grabbed Wuneng, then frowned and looked at the dark sky in the distance, saying, "I didn't expect there to be so many! I'd better tell everyone to hurry back to Guanggun Temple, otherwise they might get killed by those dragons!"

As he spoke, Wuliang dragged Wuneng Master towards the clock tower.

Then the melodious chimes rang out once again.

Chapter 15

As the bells of the Bachelor Temple rang continuously, experts from all over J City began to converge on the temple. It was at this moment that the Bachelor Temple truly revealed its formidable strength beneath its goofy exterior.

In fact, in the past, many people's healing materials only knew that Guanggun Temple had four great monks, a five hundred Arhat formation, and the legendary eighteen bronze men who had mastered the Marrow Cleansing Sutra.

But today, major organizations around the world have truly come to understand just how many powerful disciples the Bachelor Temple actually has.

This group includes all sorts of people from all walks of life, including ordinary office workers. There are small business owners who have lived in J City for generations, various street vendors, traffic police, urban management officers, and of course, the local police of J City. Even the beautiful mayor's secretary can take down a whole bunch of hooligans with just her handbag.

The weapons they carried were all rather casual; the old man carried a cane. The snack vendors simply turned their food into weapons.

Lin Jieguangcai witnessed a bread seller slaying a dragon with a baguette.

Before long, the number of disciples of the Guanggun Temple who kept coming from outside had reached tens of thousands, plus the nearly ten thousand disciples who had performed the rituals earlier. Now, the entire mountain where the Guanggun Temple is located has gathered more than twenty thousand experts.

"Is this the forbidden zone of sin?" His mouth gaped open as he watched the J City citizens reaching the mountain in various ways.

Thirteen, whose chin was almost touching the ground beside him, couldn't help but say, "The gathering of such powerful people has completely surpassed most of the world's large organizations!"

Of course, in this relatively technologically advanced era, the situation in J City has long been broadcast to the world through various networks.

In fact, at this moment, people from all the major organizations around the world were watching the battle unfold with cold sweat on their faces.

They'd seen people capable of tearing apart Gundams with their bare hands, but the idea of ​​a single traffic police squad in J City easily defeating a thousand Gundams was already incredibly absurd. Not to mention the old man who turned fried dough sticks into flying swords and the baker who used baguettes like they were from the Stone.

In their view, such a number of dragons could easily destroy a city. But unfortunately for them, these dragons encountered the Temple of the Bachelor today.

The bicycle repairmen here can all fly.

Such a large-scale attack by a group of monsters is enough to alarm the entire world.

J City was indeed on the minds of every major organization in the world at this time.

The Minister of Defense of the World Government was staring in horror at the scene unfolding in the video, his mouth agape.

"When did so many ability users suddenly appear in District C?" The Minister of Defense stared in shock at the scene before him and addressed the officials below, "What's going on with so many people? Why are there so many ability users among the civilians of J City? Has the ability user become so cheap that they're everywhere? If that's the case, why is it so difficult for our Ministry of Defense to select skilled individuals?!"

“Sir, these people are very likely a secret force cultivated by the Guanggun Temple.” An officer said to him, “After all, the Guanggun Temple’s reputation has long surpassed that of the four ancient clans in District C.”

"Damn it! I thought the true strength of the Bachelor Temple was just because of that so-called 'Boring Master'!" The Minister of Defense said, looking at the scene before him, "But I never imagined that so many experts were hidden throughout J City! Add to that the images coming from the temple! This Bachelor Temple can now completely contend with the government's elite army!!"

"Sir! Those dragons have changed!" an officer suddenly said, pointing to the dark, massive dragons in the sky above the screen.

"Switch the camera!" the Defense Minister roared at the person in front of him.

"Yes, sir."

The camera then zoomed in on the hordes of giant dragons in the sky. To the Earth Defense Force, these dragons, which were already over ten meters long, were beginning to grow at an astonishing rate.

Then, in the eyes of the defense department personnel, they gradually grew larger, their original bodies of more than ten meters growing to more than thirty meters in length at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But it wasn't too late. The scales on these dragons began to change color, and with each color change, different attributes emerged from each dragon.

"It seems that it will be very difficult for Guanggun Temple to hold out this time!" The Minister of Defense frowned as he looked at the flying dragon in the sky and said, "If these damned dragons move in other directions, they will probably cause a lot of casualties!!"

Thinking of this, the Minister of Defense immediately said to his adjutant, "Notify Sky Shield and the Hero Associations of the surrounding cities..."

Unfortunately, before he could finish speaking, a communication request popped up automatically.

"What is it?" the Minister of Defense asked a very young-looking blond man on the communicator.

"Nothing much, I just came to let you know that the World Government's top brass just held a brief meeting," the blond man said to him. "The Hero Association and the Skyguard Corps are not allowed to move, at least not for the time being."

"Are you kidding me? Do you even know which dragons are dangerous?" the Minister of Defense said to the man. "Do you know the consequences if those monsters fly off to other places?"

“As I said, this was a decision made collectively by the higher-ups,” the blond man said.

"Fine! I'll tell you too! If you can't give me a reasonable explanation, I won't obey your orders," the Minister of Defense said. "I know you have no right to move troops around."

“Because the bachelor temple is just as dangerous,” the blond man said to him.

"What do you mean?" the Minister of Defense asked, puzzled.

"It's nothing," the blond man said. "You must have seen the terrifying power that the Bachelor Temple has displayed, right? That power has completely surpassed our control over the Bachelor Temple. In fact, in the eyes of the higher-ups, it's not a battle between humans and monsters, but a battle between two groups of dangerous monsters. Do you really think we should intervene in a battle between two groups of dangerous monsters?"

"..." Upon hearing the blond man's words, the Minister of Defense fell silent.

"Of course, that doesn't mean you can't be deployed," the blond man said with a slight smile to the Minister of Defense. "At least not now."

"What a disgusting bunch of politicians!" the Defense Minister said unhappily.

"This is to fulfill our dream of building a peaceful world," the blond man said.

"That's what you said when you sent people to assassinate Zero, but in fact, five years after Zero disappeared, you still haven't accomplished what you said," the Minister of Defense said.

“We are eliminating potential dangers,” the blond man said.

"In my view, you are merely reducing Earth's fighting strength," the Minister of Defense said coldly. "Don't forget that countless enemies are watching us from the stars above!"

After saying that, he closed the communication.

"Should we halt operations, sir?" an adjutant asked.

"Change the deployment order to standby," the Defense Minister said. "I want all combat units to ensure they can reach the battlefield immediately upon receiving deployment orders. As for now, let's just sit here and watch the show."

At this time, the number of flying dragons gathered in the skies above J City would definitely not be less than 70,000, and all of them would be over 30 meters in size. Moreover, all of them had evolved unique attributes.

"Great, the time is finally almost up!" Stein said excitedly, looking at the giant dragon in the sky. "It's time to prepare to destroy the Bachelor Temple!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a miniature machine appeared in his hand, and he began to operate it continuously.

"Why aren't these dragons attacking us?" someone asked curiously, watching the dragons circling in the sky.

“We’ll find out soon enough!” the unscrupulous master suddenly said.

Not long after he finished speaking, all the experts on Guanggun Temple Mountain witnessed a sight that shocked them.

At this moment, a giant dragon, over 500 meters long, suddenly rose into the air from the distant outskirts.

"Damn it! Why didn't anyone notice something this big?!" Master Wuyu exclaimed in shock.

With the appearance of this giant dragon, all the flying dragons gathered around it at that moment.

"It's time. Burn down the entire Bachelor Mountain." Stein said calmly to the machine from among the ruins. The next second, the dragon in the sky let out a deafening roar, and then a large number of fire-attribute dragons rushed towards the Bachelor Temple. One of the dragons that arrived first spat out a powerful dragon breath downwards.

But just as the fire dragon breath was unleashed, an elderly monk actually blocked the dragon's breath with his palm.

"Although I don't know who controls you!" the monk said coldly, "the fact that you attacked the Bachelor Temple with fire first shows that you don't understand us at all! Remember this! In this Bachelor Temple, everyone over the age of twenty-five is at least a Fire Archmage! I've been a bachelor for seventy years and have now been upgraded to a Fire Sage! You still dare to play with fire with me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a large number of monks leaped down from the mountain and rushed towards the fire dragons. Most terrifyingly, these monks could all control fire, and their immunity to fire was also incredibly high.

Seeing this, Stein couldn't help but curse, "Damn it, we really can't use ordinary methods to deal with the Bachelor Temple! All dragons, kill everyone from the Bachelor Temple!!"

With the roar of the dragons, at least 60,000 to 70,000 dragons flew towards the Guanggun Temple.

"Holy crap, they're all flying over here!!!" Xiao Zhan stared in horror at the massive, dark dragons hurtling towards him.

"Don't worry!" Wu Neng patted Xiao Zhan on the shoulder and said, "The strongest army in J City has already assembled here! It's time to let these dragons see the power of our J City's three thousand urban management officers!!!"

Chapter 16

As Master Wuyu finished speaking, a group of people dressed in uniform stepped out from the crowd. The moment this group appeared, the atmosphere on the entire Bachelor Mountain became heavy.

People around the procession made way for it as it passed.

Faced with the terrifying killing intent emanating from the team before him, Xiao Zhan felt his legs go weak, and he almost knelt before them. The killing intent, seemingly solidified, then formed a giant black skull in the air.

The sheer force of three thousand people was no less than that of tens of thousands of dragons. No wonder the monks at the Bachelor Temple turned pale when they heard about the city management officers.

"I think I'll go clean up the mahjong table!" Xiao Zhan said calmly, looking at the scene before him. "I feel like I'm doing absolutely no good here except for holding back all the masters."

As he spoke, Xiao Zhan rushed towards his room.

Just as Xiao Zhan turned around, three thousand urban management officers rushed into the dragon's pack.

A brutal and bloody clash ensued at that moment. Each of the three thousand city management officers possessed a body resembling that of a Terminator; none of them showed any expression, remaining completely calm even as the dragon bit their bodies. It was as if they themselves were not the ones being bitten.

Completely disregarding the physical damage, he used brute force to break off the dragon's jaw, and then charged towards another dragon in a different direction.

With just one collision, a large number of dragons were torn apart into Tokyo fried chicken strips by the city management team.

Even so, three thousand people couldn't possibly stop all the dragons that had been enhanced in both attack and defense. After all, there were simply too many dragons, and they were all flying units.

Most of the dragons did not choose to gang up on the city management officers, but instead rushed directly towards the bachelor temple on the mountain.

"Holy crap! Prepare the Five Hundred Arhats Formation!!" Wu Neng shouted as he ran towards the Guanggun Temple. At the same time, the monks in the temple formed a strange staff formation in the square in front of the Mahavira Hall.

Correspondingly, at this time, all the masters on the Bachelor Mountain began to join the battle.
