Calling for Backup
This unprecedented leap in rankings is even more visually striking and absurd than the moment Chen Fan crippled Ma Long with a single move!
However, just as everyone was discussing and the whole hall was in chaos.
"Clang!"
The Alloy Gate of the hall were pushed open from the outside with tremendous force, and a squad of taxi drivers dressed in heavy black armor stepped into the hall in perfect unison.
Each of them exuded an aura of iron and blood, and the badge on their chest, composed of a sword and shield, instantly silenced the noisy hall.
Base Enforcement Team!
The leader was a middle-aged man with a resolute face.
His gaze, sharp as a hawk's, swept across the entire area and locked onto Chen Fan in the center of the crowd.
"We received a report that you, Chen Feng, maliciously and severely injured your comrade Ma Long in the Mission Hall, crippling his cultivation."
The enforcement captain's voice was as cold as iron, devoid of any emotion.
"Now, come with us."
Upon hearing this, Lei Kun, Leng Yan, Monkey felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over their heads, instantly snapping them out of their Divine Soul.
Without the slightest hesitation, the three of them stepped forward almost simultaneously, like three shields, firmly blocking Chen Fan's path.
"He provoked us! This was a fair challenge; he was simply outmatched!"
Despite the terrifying pressure from the late-stage expert, Lei Kun's neck veins bulged as he let out a beast-like roar.
Leng Yan remained silent, but the Gauss Sniper Rifle behind her had already silently slid into her hand. The cold muzzle energy indicator flashed a dangerous red light, and her killing intent was precisely locked onto the law enforcement captain's brow.
Their actions demonstrated their most resolute stance.
Hahaha... Hahaha!
Not far away, Ma Long, who was being helped up by his teammates, saw this scene and let out a venomous and gleeful laugh.
"Useless trash, scared now? What's the use of hiding behind a few cannon fodder?" His face was twisted, his eyes filled with the pleasure of revenge. "Just wait, in the law enforcement team's dungeon, I'll show you what it means to wish you were dead!"
Chen Fan looked at the three people who had stood up for him, then at Ma Long, who was barking like a mad dog in the distance, and his brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.
He seemed to find the scene somewhat boring, and... a waste of time.
"Is it really that hard to just turn in a task?"
He muttered something under his breath, then reached out and gently pushed aside Lei Kun stood before him as solid as a mountain.
Amidst everyone's astonished gazes, Chen Fan calmly took out his Personal Terminal from his pocket.
Upon seeing this action, the enforcement captain revealed a disdainful sneer.
Looking for someone?
Plead?
In this War Zone 450, with its ironclad military discipline, it's no use asking anyone else!
However, Chen Fan simply dialed a number on his Terminal.
The next moment.
"Beep!!"
The call was connected.
A warm, yet slightly languid voice, as if the speaker had just woken up, came from the Terminal.
"Junior Fellow Apprentice, what's wrong? You miss me so soon?"
Chen Fan remained calm and spoke to the Terminal in a matter-of-fact tone.
"Senior Fellow Apprentice, I've run into a little trouble. Someone provoked me, and I crippled him. Now the enforcement team wants to invite me in for tea. It's a bit noisy, and it's delayed my mission completion."
His words were concise, without embellishment or seeking help; they seemed more like a complaint that a trivial matter had disturbed his peace.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.
Immediately, a very soft, cold laugh rang out. The languidness in the voice vanished, replaced by a bone-chilling coldness that seemed capable of freezing one's Divine Soul.
"When did it become our place as members of the Life School to be invited by the War Zone Enforcement Team?"
"Stand still, don't move. Leave the rest to me."
The words had barely left his mouth.
"Beep."
Wen Yuan abruptly ended the call.
Chen Fan put down his Personal Terminal, put it back in his pocket, and stood there calmly, as if he had just made an insignificant call.
To outsiders, however, these actions became irrefutable evidence of a guilty conscience and a pretentious act.
Haha! Pretending to be something you're not!
With his teammates supporting him, the crippled Ma Long let out an even more venomous, hoarse laugh.
"Who do you think you are? Do you think you can find someone with connections to the highest levels? Let me tell you, in War Zone 450, the rules are law! Some wild brat from some Third-Rate Martial Dao Academy dares to act so arrogantly here!"
The last shred of patience vanished from the enforcement captain's face.
He felt like he had been played.
His face darkened, and without further ado, he abruptly waved his hand, issuing the final order.
"Take him down! If he resists, kill him without mercy!"
"Yes!"
Two law enforcement officers, exuding a strong aura of iron and blood, stepped forward. The energy of their Undying Realm surged within them, and two large hands formed from this energy, carrying the Power of Laws that imprisoned everything, fiercely grabbed at Chen Fan's shoulders!
"Roar!"
Lei Kun's eyes turned bloodshot as he recklessly ignited his own Origin Source, preparing for a desperate resistance.
Leng Yan's Sniper Rifle glowed brightly, and the Monkey unleashed a Rune Bomb radiating destructive power.
They knew it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, but they had no other choice.
However, at this critical moment!
"Boom!!"
A terrifying pressure, far exceeding the imagination of the law enforcement captain and even everyone present, collapsed like an invisible Stars, instantly enveloping the entire Mission Hall!
Under this oppressive force, time seemed to stand still, and space almost solidified.
Everyone's thoughts were forcibly frozen. The two aggressive law enforcement officers were struck as if by lightning. Their bodies trembled violently, and they were forced to retreat repeatedly by an irresistible force. Their faces turned pale, and their Qi and Blood surged wildly within their bodies.
A figure appeared between them and Chen Fan without warning.
The newcomer was a young man dressed in a crisp Silver Combat Suit, with a calm and dignified demeanor, like a mountain.
He didn't even glance at the law enforcement captain whose expression had drastically changed. Instead, he turned directly to Chen Fan, bowed slightly, his movements textbook perfect, and his tone carried a hint of respect that even he himself didn't realize.
"Mr. Chen Feng, I am Zhou Yan, the Adjutant of the War Zone 450 Commander. I have been ordered to handle this matter."
"Lieutenant... Adjutant?!"
When the enforcement captain saw the person who arrived, his mind went blank.
The color drained from his face instantly. He quickly composed himself, brought his legs together, stood at attention, and gave a perfect military salute.
A tremendous storm was raging in his heart!
The Commander's Adjutant!
That's a top-tier expert at the Seventh Grade Immortal Realm, one of the most powerful figures at the very top of the entire War Zone!
Why would he come here in person? And... and he addressed a new recruit with terms like "sir" and "you"?
