As the middle-aged man's voice rang out, a middle-aged man dressed in fine clothes and looking dashing flew swiftly from the other end of the city gate. In the blink of an eye, he appeared at the city gate, his sharp eyes sweeping over everyone outside the city. Anyone who met his gaze lowered their head in fear, except for Xiao Yan.
Finally, the middle-aged man's gaze fell on Feng Lun, his eyes carrying a hint of coldness.
" Feng Lun, you seem a little dissatisfied with my decision?"
The middle-aged man squinted at Feng Lun, and an invisible pressure from the aura of a Four-Star Dou Di expert pressed down on the latter.
Sensing this powerful pressure, Feng Lun's expression changed drastically. His face quickly turned red, his teeth clenched, and the Dou Qi qi within his body circulated rapidly, attempting to resist the pressure.
"Jin... Jin Ge..."
"How dare you call me 'Jin Ge'?"
The middle-aged man's voice was slightly deep, and at the same time, the imposing aura descending upon Feng Lun became even more terrifying. His already struggling body bent over at this moment, and his knees trembled violently, as if he might kneel down at any moment.
"Lord Jin, Commander Feng did not mean to offend you. He was just in a moment of panic and that's why he called you by your name. He only wanted to find out the whole story."
Seeing this, Miss Fang frowned slightly and took half a step forward. Despite her weak strength, she still tried to resist some of the amazing power for Feng Lun by relying on the aura of Seven-Star Half-Emperor.
"What I said is the whole story. What, young lady, do you also want to stand up for him? But I wonder who you are?"
The middle-aged man sneered, his eyes scanning Miss Fang's alluring body from head to toe. When his gaze fell on her delicate face and voluptuous figure, a lewd glint flashed in his eyes.
Having received a lucrative invitation from the Wang Clan of Helan City, he already knew that the Fang Clan's daughter would be passing through this area. He was instructed to intercept her and use her as leverage against the Fang Clan. Of course, the Wang Clan family would not interfere with what they did after capturing her; in short, as long as she didn't die, they could do whatever they wanted with her.
Although he couldn't be completely certain, he already had a guess in his mind that the woman in front of him should be the eldest daughter of the Fang Clan.
"My name is Fang Ruyan, and I am the eldest daughter of the Fang Clan in Helan City. I hope that Lord Jin can let this matter drop for the sake of my Fang Clan, and consider it a way of making friends. What does Lord Jin think?"
Fang Ruyan cupped her hands in greeting to the middle-aged man before her. After all, he was a Dou Di expert, and she could only use the name of her family to intimidate him. She just hoped he wouldn't go too far.
"Not good."
However, the other party's answer greatly surprised Fang Ruyan. Although her Fang Clan could not be called a wealthy and powerful family, they were well-known in the Wuyou City area. However, the person in front of her spoke so casually, which made it impossible for Fang Ruyan to remain calm.
"I will pay for the mercenary group's entry fees, including my own. Now, please release them, City Lord."
Her pretty face changed rapidly. After a few breaths, Fang Ruyan finally calmed down and spoke in a low voice to the person in front of her.
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man raised an eyebrow slightly, his brow furrowing as if he were deep in thought.
However, immediately after a few breaths...
"Haha, Miss Fang is truly generous. It's just a pity that since you're already here today, this city lord has no intention of letting you pass!"
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, the middle-aged man sneered, and the aura of Four-Star Dou Di expert swept outwards in an instant. At the same time, under this powerful aura, Fang Ruyan's delicate body was locked in place and unable to move.
The middle-aged man grinned maliciously, raised one hand, his palm forming a claw, and aimed it at Fang Ruyan. A surge of suction force immediately pulled the latter's delicate body toward him.
Fang Ruyan's pretty face suddenly changed drastically. She never expected that the person in front of her would attack her. Even if he was Four-Star Dou Di expert, would he be afraid of the Fang Clan?
But no matter what Fang Ruyan thought, she couldn't change the fact that her body was uncontrollably moving rapidly towards this madman. She was about to have Jin Ge grab her by the neck, and just then...
A figure swiftly flashed past Jin Ge, rescuing Fang Ruyan. Upon closer inspection, it was none other than Feng Lun, who had just been freed from the oppressive control.
" Feng Lun, you have some nerve!"
Upon recognizing that the person was Feng Lun, Jin Ge was immediately enraged. He couldn't believe that the other party dared to openly oppose him. Didn't he fear the wrath of Dou Di powerhouse?
"Ha, the mercenary group's motto is to always be responsible for their target. Today, even if it costs me my life, I will not let Miss Fang be harmed!"
Hearing Jin Ge's angry shout, Feng Lun smiled coldly, his attitude unusually resolute, as if he were just as he said, determined to take full responsibility for the target.
"Boom!"
Seeing Feng Lun's reaction, the mercenaries behind him also released their own auras, which split into two, one for each of them, and clashed with Jin Ge's aura before the city gate.
Of course, even if eighty people were facing one person, the outcome would still be a crushing defeat given the absolute difference in strength. However, the concerted efforts of these eighty people were truly astonishing.
May I ask, is there any other force on the entire continent with such strong cohesion?
That's obviously impossible.
Unfortunately, today they have encountered an opponent they cannot defeat.
"Hmph, fine! So you're going to take full responsibility? Since you're so eager to die, then this city lord will grant your wish today!"
Jin Ge's face was cold. As soon as he finished speaking, he threw a punch at Feng Lun from a distance. His powerful Dou Qi condensed into a nearly solid fist, which collided heavily with Feng Lun's solemn expression.
Even though the latter resisted with all his might, he was still instantly defeated by a single punch from a Four-Star Dou Di expert. Although he didn't die, he was already on the verge of death from severe injuries.
Uncle Feng Lun!
Upon seeing Feng Lun severely injured, Feng Lie was immediately shocked and rushed towards him with a pale face. Seeing Feng Lun, who was weak and bloodless, Feng Lie was both terrified and furious. He suddenly turned around, and the aura and pressure of a Three-Star Half-Emperor within him surged outwards wildly. His Dou Qi surged wildly, and he charged towards Jin Ge without regard for anything else.
" Jin Ge!"
Feng Lie's eyes were bloodshot, and he roared with fury in his heart as he charged forward madly. The latter, seeing this, sneered disdainfully and said:
"Hmph, they're really courting death! A mere Three-Star Half-Emperor dares to step forward? They truly don't know their own mortality!"
As he spoke, he threw another punch forward.
That punch just now almost killed Feng Lun, who was an Eight-Star Half-Emperor. If that punch had landed on Feng Lie, he would have had a hard time surviving.
Then, in the next instant, the fist, almost solidified, exploded violently. Jin Ge's cold smile widened, then gradually subsided, disappeared, and deepened...
Immediately afterwards, everyone looked up and saw a young man in black robes standing in front of Feng Lie Feng Lie, blocking him with one hand while his back was to Jin Ge. He casually extended his other hand and easily blocked the latter's punch.
"You little brat, even if you want to be a hero, you should know your limits."
Shaking his head slightly and chuckling, the black-robed youth slowly raised his head, lifting his youthful face. Bathed in sunlight, he slowly turned to look at Jin Ge.
