Armor: I support Meizhen, my emperor is doing evil.

"One more person means one more effort. We will definitely find a way!"

Grandma nodded, a hint of gratitude flashing across her eyes.

"Okay, good boy. Without further ado, let's get started!"

She turned and walked quickly towards the study where ancient books were stored. Although her steps were hurried, there was an unshakable determination in her eyes.

Huan Ying immediately followed suit, ready to immerse himself in the vast sea of ​​ancient books and documents all night long.

Only Su Chen and the unconscious Li Youer were left in the lobby.

Su Chen moved a chair and sat quietly next to the bench, his eyes fixed on Li Youer's pale and peaceful sleeping face.

The moonlight poured in through the window, casting a hazy glow on her soft face.

At this moment, she no longer had her usual liveliness and cheerfulness, nor did she have the terror she had just felt when she was invaded by the black energy.

She's just a pitiful girl who needs protection.

A complex emotion surged in Su Chen's heart.

There is worry, pity, and also a subtle hint of self-blame.

If only he could have discovered the anomaly earlier, if only he could have dealt with the ugly general more quickly...

He reached out his hand, wanting to brush away the scattered hair from her forehead, but his fingertips stopped just before touching her skin.

Finally, he just tucked the blanket around her gently.

He could feel that beneath her calm exterior, the evil dark power was like a dormant poisonous snake.

It could awaken again at any time, with devastating consequences.

Su Chen clenched his fists and his eyes became sharp.

No matter what, he would never let that happen. He not only wanted to protect Li You'er, but also to completely eradicate the hidden dangers in her body.

.

Meanwhile, far away in the shadows of the city lies Huan Huan Teppanyaki.

A disheveled figure was stumbling through the abandoned factory area.

The ugly general covered his chest with his hands, and every step he took caused severe pain.

Su Chen's attack almost shattered his internal organs.

If he had not escaped quickly, he would have turned into ashes like Taowu.

The clown mask on his face was tilted, revealing half of his face which was a mixture of fear and resentment.

Passing through the rusty iron gate, he came to an even darker and more depressing space.

The air was filled with a sickening smell of decay and a thick dark energy.

At the end of the space, on a tall throne, sat a figure shrouded in endless darkness.

Only its outline can be vaguely seen.

But the cold, evil aura it exuded was enough to make any living being tremble.

"Lord Black Emperor..."

The ugly general fell to his knees with a thud, his body shaking violently with fear and pain, even his voice changed in pitch.

The figure on the throne did not move, only a cold and emotionless voice sounded, like ice breaking.

"what happened?"

These four simple words contained pressure like a landslide or tsunami, which made the ugly general almost unable to breathe.

He lowered his head deeply, not daring to look at the person on the throne, and said in a trembling voice:

"Your subordinate... Your subordinate failed in the mission... Taowu, one of the four ancient ferocious beasts... was killed by an armored warrior named Su Chen... Please, Lord Black Emperor, spare my life! Please spare my life!"

"waste!"

The Black Emperor's voice suddenly rose, filled with undisguised anger and disappointment.

The dark energy in the entire space began to fluctuate violently, as if it was going to tear the ugly general into pieces.

"You can't even deal with a newly awakened Armored Warrior? And you even lost Taowu?!"

The ugly general was so frightened that he kowtowed desperately.

"Sir, calm down! Sir, calm down! That Su Chen... that Su Chen is too strong! Not only does he possess powerful fire power, he seems to have mastered the power of the five elements, and can even... even summon a power similar to light and shadow to purify the darkness! Taowu is no match for him! I escaped at the risk of my life!"

.....

116: Thousand-year Seal! Breaking Today!

In order to survive, Chou Jiang exaggerated Su Chen's strength in an attempt to reduce his own guilt.

The Black Emperor fell silent, and the dark energy around him slowly subsided.

But the cold breath became even stronger.

He listened carefully to General Chou's description, especially the part about the power of the five elements and the purification of light and shadow.

"Five Elements Bloodline...The Power of Light and Shadow..."

The Black Emperor repeated in a low voice, with a barely perceptible solemnity and...fear in his voice.

He knew the terrifying power of these forces.

Especially the power of light and shadow, which is the natural nemesis of these dark creatures.

"and."

The ugly general added hurriedly.

"I followed your instructions and used Ares's Apparition to stimulate the girl named Li You'er, successfully awakening the Netherworld Demon Kula within her! Although Su Chen suppressed it with the power of light and shadow, Kula has been activated and will erupt completely sooner or later!"

When mentioning Kula, Hei Di's tone softened a little, but it was still cold.

"Kula has awakened... This is a pleasant surprise. However, that Su Chen... is indeed a trouble."

The Black Emperor tapped his knuckles lightly on the armrests of the throne, lost in thought.

Directly confronting Su Chen, who possesses the power of light and shadow, is too risky and may expose more of his cards.

His eyes gleamed calculatingly in the darkness.

After a moment, he sneered.

"Since Su Chen is so troublesome, let others deal with him."

The ugly general raised his head in confusion.

"Go find Lufa."

There was a hint of playfulness and viciousness in the Black Emperor's voice.

"Hasn't that 'Emperor' who calls himself the supreme ruler of the planet Ares always wanted to regain his freedom and seek revenge on the Armor Heroes?"

The ugly general's heart moved, and he instantly understood what the Black Emperor meant.

This is to... kill someone with a borrowed knife!

"Tell Lufa."

Hei Di continued, his tone full of temptation.

"Let's just say that Shadow Realm can help him regain his freedom and break free from the constraints of that tattered clothing. The price he needs to pay is to help us get rid of these troublesome Armored Warriors, especially that kid named Su Chen..."

"Yes! I understand!"

The ugly general responded quickly and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he could make up for his mistake, he still had a chance to survive.

"Go."

The Black Emperor waved his hand, and his voice returned to its previous coldness.

"Remember, be humble. After all, you're asking someone to do something for you. But you also need to make him understand that only by cooperating with the film industry can he have a chance at a new life."

"I obey my orders!"

The ugly general felt as if he had been pardoned. He struggled to his feet and bowed respectfully.

Then he staggered out of this suffocating dark space.

Looking at the ugly general's disappearing back, the corner of the Black Emperor's mouth hidden in the darkness curled up into a cold arc.

"Emperor Lufa... the former ruler of Ares... Hmph, I want to see just how powerful you are! I hope you can surprise me a little and not be like Taowu, a useless piece of shit."

His voice echoed in the empty space, full of calculation and coldness.

While the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits. This is the game he is best at.

.

At the other end of the city stands a modern high-rise building - the headquarters building of the Bawang Group.

The building is brightly lit in the night, a symbol of wealth and power.

But in its unknown top-floor secret room, a completely different scene is hidden.

The secret room was dark, with only a few weak lamps emitting a strange light.

There was a stale and oppressive smell in the air.

In the center of the secret room, there was a simple official uniform from the Song Dynasty hanging, but at this moment it exuded a terrifying aura that made people's hearts flutter.

This official uniform is where Emperor Lufa is possessed.

After being sealed by the Armor Warrior thousands of years ago, his soul has been imprisoned in this ancient robe, unable to be free.

The ugly general walked into the secret room cautiously. The invisible pressure in the air made him almost unable to straighten his back.

He suppressed his inner fear and bowed deeply to the hanging ancient robe.

"Emperor Lufa..."

"Humph!"

A cold and dull hum came from the ancient clothes, carrying endless majesty and anger.

The whole secret room seemed to shake.

"Ugly General? How dare you come to see me?!"

The ancient clothes moved without wind, emitting an even more terrifying aura.

"Because of your Shadow Realm's 'help', my Netherworld Army suffered heavy losses! Bakuru, Cook... each and every one of them died at the hands of the Armored Heroes! Is this what you call sincerity in cooperation?!"

Lufa's voice was filled with anger of betrayal. Although he was trapped, he was not completely ignorant of the outside world.

The ugly general was so frightened that his legs went weak and he almost fell to his knees again.

He quickly explained:

"Your Majesty, please calm down! Calm down! This subordinate came here with sincerity and real intent! Lord Black Emperor sent me here!"

"々｀ Black Emperor?"

Lufa sneered, his voice full of disdain.

"That guy who hides his head and shows his tail, only daring to hide in the shadows? What sincerity can he show?"

"Lord Black Emperor said... The Shadow Realm is willing to help you regain your freedom! Completely break free from the constraints of this ancient robe!"

General Chou hurriedly threw out the bait. He knew that freedom was what Emperor Lufa desired most.

Sure enough, Gu Yi shook violently, and the air around him seemed to freeze.

Lufa's voice became low and dangerous.

"Regain your freedom? Why?"

"With the intelligence and power we in the Shadow World possess!"

The ugly general swallowed and spoke cautiously.

"Emperor, you... do you still remember the woman who sealed you a thousand years ago?"

"Shh!"
