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

Taotie was knocked back several meters, with an obvious scar on his chest and black liquid flowing out of the wound.

Taotie roared angrily, and the pain seemed to have made it even more ferocious.

It used all four limbs to exert force at the same time and pounced on Su Chen again, this time faster and with more ferocious attack.

Su Chen did not retreat but advanced and rushed towards Taotie.

At the moment of collision, he suddenly turned sideways to avoid the Taotie's frontal attack.

At the same time, the Emperor's Sword drew a graceful arc and cut into the Taotie's flank.

“Ah—．～ —”

Taotie let out a painful howl and struggled violently.

It swung its body wildly, trying to shake off Su Chen, but Su Chen held the magic sword tightly and was carried by Taotie in circles in the air.

"it's over!"

Su Chen suddenly pulled out the magic sword, flipped in the air, and landed on the head of Taotie.

He raised the Emperor's Sword high, and the golden energy condensed to the extreme:

"Emperor: Final Slash!"

The magic sword chopped down with unmatched power, piercing through the Taotie's head.

A golden energy quickly spread from the incision to the whole body of Taotie.

Taotie let out a final mournful cry, and then its entire body began to disintegrate, turning into countless black particles that dissipated into the air.

When the last trace of black particles disappeared.

Su Chen landed steadily on the ground, and the light on the emperor's armor gradually returned to normal brightness.

“Too… too strong…”

Li Haotian murmured to himself, his eyes full of admiration.

Emperor Yan walked up to Su Chen and patted his shoulder:

"Well done, bro!"

However, their joy was soon tempered by reality. Li Haotian said dejectedly:

"々｀ But we still let Emperor Lufa and the Black Emperor escape."

Emperor Yan also looked ashamed:

"Yeah, we were too weak to stop them."

Su Chen released the combined state of the Emperor Armor and returned to human form.

He said tiredly but calmly:

"Don't blame yourself. They came prepared, and the appearance of Taotie was unexpected."

"But we will definitely do better next time!" (Haonuo Zhao)

Li Haotian said firmly.

Su Chen smiled and nodded:

"I believe you. Now, let's get out of this place and go back to get our affairs in order."

After everyone gathered together, they left the dilapidated underground base.

Xu Tingfei and Xiaogang were responsible for escorting the captured members of the Netherworld Legion.

Su Chen, Li Haotian, Yan Di, Huan Ying and Li Youer returned to Huan Huan Teppanyaki Restaurant together.

.....

192: Emperor Lufa’s plan!

When they pushed open the door, Ying Huan and Li You'er immediately came to greet them.

Xianxun: Ba Yi Si Jiu Ling ③ Qie Ba

"Are you guys okay?"

Huanying asked worriedly, scanning the bodies of several people, looking for possible injuries.

Li Youer also looked at them nervously:

"How's the battle going?"

Su Chen shook his head and briefly recounted the battle in the underground base, including the escape of Emperor Lufa and Black Emperor, and the appearance and defeat of Taotie.

After hearing the description, Huan Ying and Li You'er's expressions became solemn.

"They've gone crazy."

Welcome whispered.

"Use this ancient power regardless of the consequences."

Li Youer nodded:

"Summoning four 397 great beasts is beyond their usual modus operandi. They have become reckless."

Su Chen's expression was calm, as if he had anticipated this situation:

"It doesn't matter. We should remain unchanged in the face of ever-changing circumstances. No matter what means they use, the result will not change."

"But we have to be prepared."

Yan Emperor said.

"They said they would meet again before they escaped. They were probably planning a bigger conspiracy."

Li Haotian thought for a while and suggested:

“We should increase patrols, especially in remote areas around the city where (dabe) could be hiding.”

"At the same time, we need more information."

Additions are welcome.

"About the power they might use, and what their next plans are."

"I can help gather intelligence."

Li Youer volunteered.

"I have some contacts on the dark web who might be able to provide some clues."

Everyone proposed their own response strategies and the discussion became heated.

Finally, Su Chen raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then made a decision.

"First, we must remain vigilant, but not overly nervous. Second, we must strengthen our communication with each other and share intelligence at all times. Most importantly."

He looked around at everyone, his tone firm.

"Don't act alone. If you see anything suspicious, call for backup immediately."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Although the enemy escaped, today's battle can be considered a victory.

At least they rescued their captive companions and thwarted the enemy's plans.

"Okay, everyone is tired, let's go back and rest."

Su Chen said.

"We'll continue the discussion tomorrow."

Everyone said goodbye, Li Haotian and Yan Di thanked everyone for the rescue, and then left the teppanyaki restaurant.

Huan Ying started to clean up the tables and chairs in the store and prepare to close the store, while Li Youer helped him.

Su Chen stood at the door of the store, looking at the stars in the night sky, with a thousand thoughts in his mind.

He knew this was only a small part of a long war.

Emperor Lufa and the Black Emperor will not give up, as greater challenges are waiting for them.

.

At the same time, in a hidden cave in the far suburbs of the city, Emperor Lufa and the Black Emperor were discussing matters.

"Today's failure is temporary."

Emperor Lufa said coldly.

"Losing the dark gene is indeed a blow, but it is not an insurmountable obstacle."

The Black Emperor nodded:

"We underestimated their preparations, especially that girl. She was able to clear the dark gene from her body."

"I won't give them such an opportunity next time."

.....

193: Help Meizhen! ERP!

Emperor Lufa clenched his fists.

"We have to take more radical measures."

The Black Emperor pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked up:

"There is a possibility, the legendary black monster."

A hint of interest flashed in Emperor Lufa's eyes:

"The legendary existence that can devour all light?"

"Exactly."

Black Emperor explained.

"But summoning it requires enormous energy and is very risky."

"risk?"

Emperor Lufa sneered.

"What do we have to lose now?"

The Black Emperor also revealed a resolute expression:

"You're right. For the ultimate victory, all sacrifices are worth it."

"I can offer the three poisons of greed, anger, and ignorance."

Emperor Lufa said.

"These three negative energies should be enough to make the Black Demon Beast even more powerful."

The Black Emperor nodded in agreement:

"Alright, I'll prepare the summoning ritual immediately. This time, we must completely destroy those Armored Warriors!"

The two men looked at each other, their eyes filled with determination and hatred.

Instead of defeating them, the series of failures made them even more dangerous.

In order to achieve their goal, they are ready to do whatever it takes.

The night is getting darker and a more intense battle is about to begin.

Both the righteous armored warriors and the evil dark forces are making final preparations for the upcoming decisive battle.

.

At the same time, in the teppanyaki restaurant, Su Chen and Huan Ying were tidying up the tables and chairs, and they were the only two left in the restaurant.

Li Youer just left, saying that she was going to contact her informant on the dark web to collect information about Emperor Lufa and the Black Emperor.

"Today was really thrilling."
