Coercion

This person in blood-red armor is the trump card of their Five-City Alliance. As long as he is there, they will not be afraid of Zheng Yutong, even in a direct confrontation.

However, what puzzled him was that Lord Wang, who also belonged to the Five-City Alliance, had been hiding in the city ever since his failed attempt to ambush Xue Yan in the Illusion Realm, and had not come out at all, which surprised him greatly.

"Fine, if they don't want to come, they don't want to come. Leading so many experts, they still couldn't keep Xue Yan in the Illusion Realm. We're better off without such trash!" The tall, thin man made up his mind and continued loudly, "Today, we demand an explanation! City Lord Zheng, what do you say we do? I just need your word!"

Across from her, Zheng Yutong crossed her arms, tapping her fingers lightly on her forearms, but her face remained expressionless.

The Five-City Alliance must have something to rely on for daring to come so grandly today. Of course, Zheng Yutong had already spotted the person wearing blood-red armor on the other side.

From the very beginning, the other party stood there without saying a word, but their aura was undeniable.

This is a Level A expert.

Moreover, he's even stronger than me; I don't know where the Five-City Alliance found such a helper.

The situation is extremely tense. On our side, there are only Xue Yan and Blood Wolf. The strongest of the others is only B1, and most are still at C level. If a conflict really breaks out, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Moreover, Nina, who had gone out a few days ago, had not returned. Although this had happened before, this time, Zheng Yutong had a bad feeling.

In short, he is now facing a mess, and one wrong step could lead to the consequences he is facing.

The only good news came from Xue Yan.

That guy is still alive!

Upon hearing the news, Zheng Yutong didn't sleep a wink all night. She even considered dropping everything to go to the Illusion Realm to find him. She had so much to say to that guy, but reality wouldn't allow her to do so.

Letting out a long breath, Zheng Yutong forcibly suppressed the ripples in her heart and took a step forward.

"Lord Liao, since you want me to give you an explanation, then I will give you an explanation today!" Zheng Yutong's tone turned somewhat cold at the end.

The originally self-righteous Lord Liao took a step back under this imposing aura.

"You..." Being forced back by the imposing aura was a very embarrassing thing, and Lord Liao was losing face.

"A-rank is nothing special, but it's enough to take you down!" Zheng Yutong sneered, and before the other party could speak, she continued, "Today, so many of you have come here, isn't it just to use the theft of the magic crystal as an excuse to stir up trouble and annex Three Heroes City?"

The people opposite were taken aback by this woman's sudden confrontation and were speechless for a moment.

These things, however, elicited a hint of mockery from Zheng Yutong.

"My sister Xue Yan was attacked by Lord Wang of the Five-City Alliance while leading a group to capture that thief, and almost lost her life. Lord Liao, how do you explain this? What kind of explanation will you give me?"

The city lord, Liao, was cursing Wang the fat man for his incompetence, but now he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it, since they had come here to fight anyway.

Since we've already broken off all pretense, there's no need to pretend anymore.

"How do you explain this? Hmph, the city lord isn't here today, yet you spew such arrogant accusations against him. You're truly an unreasonable bunch. First, you embezzled our magic crystals, and now you're framing the city lord. Today, we might have to resort to force!"

He gestured to the group behind him, and immediately, all the B-level experts stepped forward, including the man in the blood-red armor.

Zheng Yutong immediately sensed that the other party's target was her.

"Hmph, a mere A-rank from a Level 2 star region dares to be so arrogant! Woman, whether you like it or not, today is your death day!" The person wearing crimson armor uttered a series of strange notes, suddenly leaped out, and slammed his fist, which was carrying wind pressure, toward Zheng Yutong.

"Sister Zheng, watch out!" Xue Yan, who was already prepared, saw the other party make a move and flung out a small knife.

Ordinary armor is no match for the sharpness of this throwing knife, especially since it is also enveloped in a powerful aura, making it one of Xue Yan's trump cards.

However, before the throwing knife could even touch its target, it was burned to molten iron by the flames that suddenly erupted from the blood-red armor.

"What?"

Having never seen flames that could instantly melt metal, especially one emanating from armor, Xue Yan's shock was palpable.

"I'll deal with this one. Swallow, you handle the others!"

Zheng Yutong knew that with Xue Yan's B3 level combat strength, she had no chance of winning against an A-level enemy. Moreover, Xue Yan was good at assassination but not at head-on combat, so her attack power would likely be greatly reduced.

Seeing the giant fist hurtling towards her, Zheng Yutong activated her Wind Walk, retreating more than ten meters, and in her hand appeared a bow and arrows that looked like crystals.

"Ninefold Volley!"

Without nocking an arrow, he simply pulled back the bowstring, and with nine consecutive loud bangs, nine gleaming beads shot out, their target the armored giant.

Upon seeing this, the other person merely snorted coldly, and even hotter red flames erupted from his body, like a giant pillar of fire, burning a huge black hole in the roof of the city lord's hall.

The nine beads that Zheng Yutong shot out were also engulfed by the crimson flames and turned into ashes.

"Heh, child's play, a mere trick. A level 2 star field expert is nothing more than this!" The red-armored man was clearly extremely excited. He charged forward, a giant sword made entirely of flames appearing in his hand, and slashed at Zheng Yutong.

Zheng Yutong dodged again, but this time, the hem of her clothes was touched by the flaming sword and instantly turned into ashes, demonstrating just how intensely hot the flames were.

Upon hearing the words of the giant in red armor, Zheng Yutong's heart was filled with turbulent emotions.

She had heard of the Starfield before.

It is said that beyond this world, there are many other spaces and civilizations. These spaces and civilizations are distinguished by what is called a star field. Based on the strength of the civilization, star fields are also divided into different levels, with level 1 being the weakest and level 7 being the strongest.

They were currently in a Level 2 star system, but judging from the words of the man in red armor, he seemed to be from a higher-level star system. If that were the case, then they were in trouble.

After exchanging more than a dozen blows, Zheng Yutong was truly suffering. Her opponent's red armor, capable of spewing flames, was simply too powerful. Attack skills would be incinerated by the flames as soon as they got close, and even invisible 'qi' could not escape it.

After another dozen or so moves, the man in red armor spotted an opening in Zheng Yutong's defenses and swept his Red Flame Greatsword straight for Zheng Yutong neck.

Zheng Yutong was shocked, but she couldn't dodge in time. Just as she was about to perish, a figure rushed in from outside, wielding a lightning sword to block the Red Flame Greatsword.

A loud bang.

Flames and lightning scattered, and even Zheng Yutong was forced back two steps by the terrifying air pressure due to the close proximity.

Those outside the city lord's mansion, whether civilians or mercenaries, all noticed the strange occurrence, but they were all frightened by the powerful aura emanating from the strong individuals and hid inside, afraid to come out. The vast level 4 Sand City instantly fell into silence.

Only from the city lord's mansion could one hear the occasional booming sounds of impact, indicating that the battle was still ongoing.

The sudden appearance of this person clearly surprised both parties.

The man in red armor clearly sensed that the person who blocked his attack possessed a powerful aura, indicating that he was also an A-level expert.

"Who are you? If you have nothing to do with this woman, you'd better not get involved. You can't afford to mess with me!" His words carried a hint of arrogance.

The one who appeared suddenly was naturally Li Wei, who had been lurking in the shadows all along.

Hearing the words of the man in red armor, Li Wei snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "You're nothing but trash from the level 3 star field 'Kai Star,' yet you dare to run wild here! Break through!"

With a flick of his finger, a bolt of white lightning shot out.

Despite the protection of crimson flames, the lightning pierced through the flames and struck the opponent's armor. With a crisp sound, the sturdy crimson armor cracked under the lightning attack.

Hiss!

The man in red armor gasped. Since arriving in this newly advanced Level 2 star field through the teleportation array, this was the first time he had encountered someone who could break through his 'Flame Garment'.

Generally speaking, Level 1 star systems are the weakest, as 'Shadow Street' and teleportation arrays are not activated, and people from other star systems cannot enter.

The Level 2 Starfield is the world immediately after the opening of Shadow Street. People here begin to come into contact with Shadow Street and gain some abilities and enhancements, but these are all limited. When a Level 2 Starfield's own Destroyer appears, Shadow Street will be temporarily closed. The duration of this process is not fixed. Shadow Street will only reopen when the Destroyer devours another Starfield. At that time, the Starfield will be upgraded to a Level 3 Starfield.

The man in red armor was a level 3 expert from a star field called 'Kai Star'.

What he found incredible was that the Shadow Street in this Level 2 star system had clearly not been reopened yet, so how did the other party know so much, even about 'Kai Star'?

Li Wei knew, of course, that when he was fighting for the Destroyer's City in the Illusion Realm, he had come into contact with a Kai Star person, that burly man wearing golden armor who was also Destroyer.

Li Wei learned a lot from that Kai Star Destroyer.

The armor worn by the Kai Star Alien is not clothing, but something they have from birth.

Just like human skin, their armor becomes thicker with age, and the outer armor of the Kai Star people will also exhibit different attributes due to certain techniques.

The red-armored Kai Star man before them possessed the fire attribute. In reality, his outer armor was far less durable than that of the Golden Armor Kai Star man in the Illusion Realm. Li Wei had already killed that man, let alone this one.

At this moment, Zheng Yutong, who was behind her, also saw the person in front of her clearly and found that it was actually a teenager.

Etc!

I remember Xue Yan once said that after that bastard was reborn, he became a teenager!

Turning her head to look at Xue Yan, Zheng Yutong noticed the gleam in Xue Yan's eyes after seeing the young man.
