The Mighty Iron Block

Soon, the two of them could no longer hold on, and even when their subordinates arrived from the rear, it proved to be of no use.

Chen Qiang completely ignored the attacks from those newcomers, keeping his eyes locked solely on the two leaders. Whether they attacked and Chen Qiang countered, or they tried to dodge his strikes to reach the other side and use a Den Den Mushi to notify their superior, Chen Qiang would always appear before them to intercept and strike.

Thus, the battle did not last long. In just over ten minutes, the two sub-leaders of the CP organization were covered in wounds under Chen Qiang's relentless assault.

Even though the two had been using Iron Body to withstand Chen Qiang's attacks throughout the fight, the effect was minimal, especially as their injuries accumulated toward the end.

Very quickly, under Chen Qiang's continuous barrage, every member of the CP organization lay on the ground covered in blood. Judging by their state, they were breathing their last, clearly not long for this world.

"Brrr! Brrr!"

Just as Chen Qiang finished off the last of the CP members, a Den Den Mushi that had been in their hands began to ring.

"."

Chen Qiang picked up the receiver but remained silent, intending to hear what the person on the other end had to say. To his surprise, the caller also remained silent after the connection was made; after waiting a moment without hearing a sound, the caller simply hung up.

Chen Qiang was stunned for a moment, but he quickly realized what had happened. The caller must have deduced that their subordinates had been eliminated, which was why they hung up. As for how they knew, there must have been some sort of code or protocol used during their calls; when the expected response didn't come, they immediately understood the situation.

Given the nature of the CP organization, which specialized in covert operations, they would naturally avoid speaking to prevent leaking any information once they confirmed their team had been compromised.

"As expected, this is the real world. These organizations aren't as foolish as they are in anime."

After dealing with the CP members, Chen Qiang began to set traps throughout the empty city, preparing to make this city of sin vanish from the world entirely.

By the time Chen Qiang finished his preparations, nearly an hour had passed. It was at this moment that the small clone Chen Qiang had placed at the harbor sent back a message: a warship had arrived at the port.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

The warship that arrived at the harbor did not deploy any troops; instead, it immediately opened fire on Copperfield. Shell after shell flew from the ship, landing in the city and blasting massive craters into the ground.

"How unreasonable! But since you've come, there's no reason not to come ashore!"

A shell landed in front of Chen Qiang, but he sliced it in half with a single swing of his blade. He shook his head, looked toward the harbor outside the city, and a meaningful smile curled the corners of his lips.

With that smile, Chen Qiang dashed rapidly toward the harbor.

"Keep firing!"

The masked CP3 captain continued to command his men, ordering them to bombard the city ahead. However, he failed to notice that the blood pooled on the harbor was beginning to flow, quickly dripping into the seawater.

It spread rapidly toward the warship, and soon, the sea surrounding the vessel was stained a deep, blood-red.

"Blood Sea Surging Waves!"

"Boom!"

The previously calm sea surface, now covered in blood, began to churn violently as if it were boiling.

"Get ashore, quickly!"

The CP members on the warship noticed the disturbance beneath the waves and issued urgent orders.

Following the command, everyone on board dropped their equipment, leaped from the warship, and landed on the harbor.

Just as they cleared the deck, the blood-red seawater surged upward, swallowing the entire warship. By the time the red tide receded, the vessel had already sunk to the bottom of the sea.

But it wasn't over. After the men landed on the harbor, the blood from the corpses Chen Qiang had piled up earlier seeped out even faster. Outside the harbor, it formed a massive blood-red barrier that connected to the cavern ceiling above the pier.

"Blood Rain!"

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Droplets of blood detached from the barrier and shot toward the CP members. While in mid-air, these droplets transformed into tiny, sharp arrows.

"Iron Body!"

Faced with such a large-scale attack, all the CP members who had disembarked instinctively activated Iron Body to deflect the onslaught.

"Boom!"

At that exact moment, a violent explosion erupted. A red gemstone had been embedded in the ceiling of the cavern earlier, and as the men blocked the rain of blood, several blood-arrows struck the gem, detonating it instantly.

The force of the blast shook the entire cavern. Countless boulders rained down from above, and within a few breaths, the falling debris buried the entire harbor, sealing off the only exit from the city.

Fortunately, the members of the CP organization were elites; they reacted the moment the explosion began and scrambled away from the harbor, narrowly avoiding being buried under the rubble.

"It seems the power was still too low. But if I concentrate all these materials, I should be able to collapse this place completely!"

Chen Qiang, who had rushed to the city gate, felt a twinge of disappointment that his move hadn't destroyed the harbor passage as intended. However, he reasoned that since he had moved all the gunpowder in the city and utilized the red gemstone Toby had crafted, collapsing the area should still be feasible.

"Shave!" "Finger Pistol!"

Just as Chen Qiang was observing the effects of the explosion and calculating if his remaining traps were sufficient to level the area, the leader-like figure vanished from his spot. He reappeared behind Chen Qiang and thrust a finger forward, the immense power piercing straight through Chen Qiang's body.

"Useless!"

Chen Qiang, despite being pierced, showed no signs of panic; in fact, a smile remained on his face. His long blade danced as he spun around and slashed at his opponent.

Clearly, this man's mastery of Iron Body was far superior to the previous two. Chen Qiang's strike barely broke the skin, failing to inflict even a significant wound.

"Bang!"

After Chen Qiang's strike, the leader tanked the attack and swung his fist, slamming it directly into Chen Qiang's head.

If Chen Qiang's physique hadn't been elevated to a monstrous level, his skull might have been shattered instantly. Even so, the force of the blow left Chen Qiang feeling dizzy and disoriented.
