Chapter 1667: Chapter 882: Battle Royale!
This attack seemed meticulously planned. The war robots precisely trapped Qing Chen’s convoy in a narrow street, then demolished everything within moments.
As Qing Chen leapt out of the car, the vehicle behind him was hit by a missile.
The massive air and flame waves lifted Qing Chen, who was still mid-air, sweeping him away.
With a thud, Qing Chen crashed into a shop on the street, shattering its glass door to pieces.
"This is a direct attempt on my life," Qing Chen pondered, "It can’t be Lao Er and Lao Wu; it must be the Royal Family."
Lao Er and Lao Wu still hoped for Qing Chen to live, but the Royal Family wanted him dead immediately.
There must be a Royal Family member within the Black Knight group, because only the Members of Black Knight knew about the "Third Knight possessing Joker and disguising as the Third Knight" incident.
What a mess.
But undoubtedly, someone within the Black Knights is colluding with the Royal Family.
Qing Chen crashed into a large fresh produce supermarket in the wealthy district; it was morning, just the start of business hours.
He dashed inward, and those war robots followed him into the supermarket.
These war robots fought brutally; whenever a shelf was in the way, they cleared it with pulse cannons.
The entire supermarket echoed with the rising hum of pulse charging.
As he ran, Qing Chen shouted, "The Roosevelt Royalty dares to openly assault the Black Knight in Silver City; wait until my brother establishes a nation in the Eastern Continent, we’ll annihilate your Roosevelt Kingdom!"
The war robots advancing in coordination noticeably paused upon hearing this, not that the robots were surprised, but that the person controlling them via neural connection was startled...
At that moment, electromagnetic pulses surged within Qing Chen’s body, causing the lights in the supermarket to explode from inability to withstand the charge fluctuations.
However, the war robots remained unscathed due to their EMP-resistant coating.
This time, there’s no Boss He to help break through the coating.
Yet, Qing Chen thought, he didn’t need to fight personally. He was now the most precious asset in Silver City, and an asset shouldn’t fight personally, should it?
He took out the Third Knight’s phone and dialed, "Big Brother, save me!"
A voice came over the phone, "Third Brother, don’t worry, I’m here."
At that moment, outside the supermarket, the Silver City Duke, arriving by armed helicopter, jumped directly from ten meters above the ground, landing heavily.
The next moment, the Silver City Duke charged into the supermarket like a cannonball, disappearing like a ghost, only to reappear before a war robot.
He placed his hand lightly on the robot’s chest, slamming it against the wall, causing it to slowly fall.
Hitting enemies as if they were portraits is an ability of the Demi God Knight; with the force burst, Knight Vital Energy dismantles the enemy’s life force from within.
Uncle Li Dong once struck a tree trunk with his palm; the bark was fine, but it turned to rotten wood inside.
Now, this ability worked on war robots; with just a gentle palm strike, it shattered the electronic components within through the alloy armor!
The next second, the Silver City Duke disappeared again, and in the darkness, one after another war robots were slammed against the wall, thoroughly scrapped.
The person controlling the war robots couldn’t even lock on to the Silver City Duke’s figure.
Seeing this, Qing Chen admired him internally; regardless of the Silver City Duke’s character, the Demi God Knight was indeed formidable.
"Third Brother, are you alright?" the Silver City Duke asked in the darkness.
Meanwhile, reinforcements arrived outside, entering with searchlights from their helmets on.
"Big Brother, I’m fine," Qing Chen said. "Where did these war robots come from? Was it Lao Er trying to kill me? Or Lao Wu? When you possessed your apprentice to transcend the tribulation, they wanted to kill you!"
The Silver City Duke frowned slightly at the mention of past events, seemingly recalling some unpleasant memories.
He explained, "Don’t worry, it wasn’t Lao Er or Lao Wu, it was the Roosevelt Royalty. They don’t want me to gain support from the Eastern Continent through you, so they want to kill you."
What the Silver City Duke didn’t say was that it was actually because he had breached the agreement in their deal...
Qing Chen said, "The Roosevelt Royalty? Are they already so blatant?"
The Silver City Duke said, "They now firmly control the Central Royal City, Black Water, Phoenix, and Storm, which are beyond our capability to handle. They are determined to kill you; the plan to stage your escape needs to be prioritized. You must leave the West Continent soon. Now that the Arbiter and Drama Master have joined forces, the most dangerous thing is they know your birth date and true name, allowing them to kill you invisibly. Once you reach the Eastern Continent, you’ll be out of the Duke of Storm City’s curse range."
Qing Chen’s heart tightened. Oh no, Boss He hasn’t been rescued yet, and now I’m about to star in a survival hunt first?
Then how am I supposed to rescue Boss He?
As for the Arbiter’s curse, Qing Chen wasn’t worried at all.
The Duke of Storm City’s curse was targeting the Third Knight Li Li; what did it have to do with him, Qing Chen?
The Silver City Duke said, "Just right, amidst the city’s chaos, I’ll uproot all the insiders the other dukes have planted; the more tumultuous the city, the better, giving you a reason to escape from the Black Knight Headquarters. Then I’ll have the other brothers hunt you down, the more overwhelmingly, the better. In recent months, many people have infiltrated from the Eastern Continent; they’ll surely hear about this news."
