Chapter 16: Urban Superpower Dragon Aotian
They didn't have to wait long.
Perhaps it's just a blink of an eye, and the situation changes in an instant.
Dark clouds are pressing down on the city, threatening to destroy it.
The wind roared like a devil, the sky was shrouded in ink, and the clouds were rolling, surging, roaring and colliding.
Ink-colored raindrops burst out from the burning dark clouds, swaying like meteors and hitting the ground heavily, causing a loud bang, and the fire spread in an instant. These were not bean-sized raindrops, but sparks that had not yet been extinguished!
Tang Lingnan looked up and could clearly see the dark clouds rolling in the sky. They were clearly burning black flames that were so arrogant that they seemed to devour the sky and the earth.
Gao Rujiao was certain in her heart, and her eyes were filled with surprise. It was indeed the mythical beast that would protect Kyushu in the future, the Black Phoenix!
In an instant, a loud and clear cry resounded through the heavens and the earth. Its giant wings, large enough to cover the sky and the sun, spread out, and a pair of huge claws tore through the sky. Ink-colored flames turned into its gorgeous wings like flowing light. It lowered its head gracefully, and its bloodshot eyes looked at the ants on the ground playfully.
"I never thought that after sleeping for so long, I would still be able to see human figures when I woke up. I'm really tenacious."
Tang Lingnan swore that she had never heard such an elegant and pleasant voice in her two lifetimes combined, for nearly forty years.
Chen Luo looked at Mo Lao in surprise and doubt. How could this be possible? No alien species that could speak human language had been seen in China or abroad for decades. In fact, the IQ of most alien species might not even be as high as that of animals. They only had the instinct to hunt.
He clenched his fists, exhaled slowly, and tried to calm his violently beating heart.
Being able to speak means being able to communicate, which might be a good thing for him since his primary goal is to delay time.
As his thoughts raced, he calmed his expression, took a step forward, and spoke calmly, "Senior... I am Chen Luo, an official of Jiuzhou. I was unaware that this was your territory. I deeply apologize for any offense I may have caused. Whatever your request, Jiuzhou will do its best to meet it."
This aura was probably more than level five. Chen Luo was extremely nervous, but he didn't show it on his face. His eyes were sincere and respectful.
The giant bird laughed and said nonchalantly, "I don't deserve the title of senior. Just call me Black Phoenix. I've never heard of Jiuzhou before. I guess it's a force from the New World. With your strength, you can't be of much help. As for the territory, while I'm asleep, of course anyone with the strength can get it. I don't care."
Chen Luo was shocked, cold sweat soaking his back. He was not afraid of the lion's big mouth, but he was afraid that the other party would have no desires. When there was a huge gap in strength, having no desires meant that he could not be controlled. If he allowed such a strong man to roam freely in the territory, the lives of trillions of people in Jiuzhou would be tied to their belts and could fall at any time. He thought quickly about countermeasures.
This Black Phoenix sounds quite easy to talk to.
Tang Lingnan relied on her sensitive hearing to watch openly. She couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope in her heart, optimistically guessing that this matter might be resolved peacefully.
During the moment of Chen Luo's silence, Black Phoenix looked at everyone with interest. "But I do have a request. Someone stole my child while I was asleep. I wonder if you can help me."
Chen Luo immediately said: "Don't worry, senior. We in Jiuzhou will spare no effort to search for your child and return him to you in good condition." He dared to swear that even if the entire Blue Star was dug three feet deep, Jiuzhou would definitely find the child.
Upon hearing this, the Black Phoenix just laughed a few times with ambiguous expressions. She used her long beak to comb Liu Yu's hair and said, "Since you can help with this, I'm sure you can help with another thing. My child hasn't hatched in ten thousand years. It was born when I was eroded by the black fog, and my vitality was drained away to the point of almost death." There was a hint of sadness in her tone.
Black fog, what is that? Chen Luo had an ominous premonition. He did not interrupt Black Phoenix and silently prepared to fight at any time.
Dark Phoenix said in a slightly cold tone, "To replenish my child's vitality, only 10,000 people with awakened psychic powers are needed. However, no matter which world, people with awakened psychic powers are very valuable. So I will take a step back and ask for 10 million ordinary people. How about that?"
The dagger is revealed!
Chen Luo's lips trembled. He finally understood the meaning of the Black Phoenix's willingness to spend time arguing with them. She could kill them all with one claw, but she didn't do it, just to force humans to surrender. He underestimated the other party's familiarity with humans and underestimated the other party's wisdom. The world before the Strange Domain was definitely a society where humans had established a normal society and normal systems. He suddenly realized that the black fog the other party mentioned was more important than he thought.
There are more than a billion people in Kyushu. Sacrificing ten million people to protect trillions of people is a very cost-effective deal, isn't it?
But this is Kyushu, a Kyushu where every person is important.
Chen Luo closed his eyes. He was ready to sacrifice himself. His heartbeat was very steady at this moment. He had never been so calm before. He was the head of the Qingcheng Supernatural Office and his duty was to protect everyone in Qingcheng.
"Unfortunately, we in Kyushu refuse."
He doesn't need to ask his superiors because everyone will make the same choice.
A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Black Phoenix. This was not like the human beings she had seen before. Aren't humans all selfish creatures? They are just ordinary people. Haven't these people who have awakened psychics never regarded ordinary people as their own kind?
She asked again in disbelief, "Think carefully. I sense that there are quite a few ordinary people in your world."
Letting his compatriots die for him is a true act of humanity. Even if this request is rejected, Jiuzhou may have to pay a price higher than 10 million people. However, this is not a reason for Jiuzhou to lose its bottom line.
Chen Luo repeated in a deep voice, "Jiuzhou will not agree to such a ridiculous request." Even if it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, he still wanted to try and see the power of a fifth-level strongman.
Gao Rujiao's heart sank to the ground. How could this be possible? The Black Phoenix later became the guardian beast of Jiuzhou. How could the situation inside Fengyanmen be like this?
She thought that it was just the unkilled alien species attacking the city, so how could it be the Black Phoenix? It was a sixth-level divine beast that was born, comparable to a powerful person with superpower level 5. How could the people present be able to defeat it?
Suddenly, her body trembled violently. She suddenly remembered that in the future, the person in charge of Qingcheng's Supernatural Office was not called Chen Luo at all. The head of the Mo family also passed away this year, and the Gao family suffered serious losses in supernatural people at this time.
She looked around at everyone's faces in horror and found that she did not find a face she would see in the future. She used to think that this showed that these people were mediocre in talent and would be like everyone else in the future, but now, she realized that it was more likely that they all died in this Fengyanmen incident.
No, Qingcheng was not destroyed. She seemed to be clinging to a straw. Tang Chumo's title of King of Shadows was also spread after he proclaimed himself the head of Yanmen. This meant that her lover could resolve this crisis.
Blind trust in Tang Chumo prevailed. Gao Rujiao touched the teleportation talisman in her sleeve and managed to calm down. Looking at the tense atmosphere between the two sides, her blood rushed backwards and her pretty face flushed. She realized that this was her chance.
"Wait a moment!"
Gao Rujiao spoke loudly, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
Where did this girl come from? She's just an ordinary person!
Just as Mr. Mo was about to reprimand her, he was stopped by Chen Luo, who whispered, "Grandpa, this should be the second young lady of the Gao family."
The second daughter of the Gao family, Mo Lao frowned. He only knew one Gao Minghui in the next generation of the Gao family. However, in the current situation, even if this girl was the second daughter of the Gao family, what could she do?
It was the first time that Gao Rujiao was stared at so blatantly by so many people. She calmed herself down and somewhat enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention. Thinking about the future, she spoke confidently, "I know where Senior Black Phoenix's child is, and I also know how to use other methods to ensure your child's birth."
"Oh" Black Phoenix became interested. In fact, even she was not sure about this blood sacrifice. Asking for 10 million people was just an attempt. If it succeeded, it would be better if it was a mutant. She thought coldly that her child was the last pure-blooded descendant of the Phoenix clan. No matter what, she would let him be born.
After all, even she was no longer considered a phoenix.
Burying the bitterness and pain deep in his heart, the Black Phoenix pretended to listen attentively. Seeing the Black Phoenix like this, Chen Luo stopped secretly activating his supernatural powers. He wanted to delay the time as long as possible until the level 5 boss came.
"In one year, the Ghost Domain will be completely integrated with the Blue Star, the Blood Lotus will be born, and the Emperor's Blood will flow from the Blood Moon. With a magical item like the Emperor's Blood, it will be easy to make up for your child's defects." Gao Rujiao was somewhat confident about this. As long as she had the favor of the Black Phoenix, it would be easy to obtain the fruit that could directly awaken superpowers.
A trace of disappointment flashed across her eyes as the Black Phoenix flapped its wings in boredom. She really shouldn't have held out hope for a world that had just begun to merge. She said disdainfully, "As far as I know, humans have never awakened any time-related abilities. Predicting the future is ridiculous. What evidence do you have? Time, that's the realm of the gods."
What's more, the Blood Moon's Emperor's Blood will pollute her child just like it polluted her. Then there will be no chance at all. What she needs is vitality and purification.
Gao Rujiao was stunned for a moment. As the second daughter of the Gao family, she had never been looked down upon so disdainfully. It was like looking at a clown making a fool of herself. She felt humiliated in her heart, but a stubborn look welled up on her face. She looked back with an unyielding look.
"Senior, you haven't seen it, so you say it doesn't exist? You are too arrogant. I don't need proof, because I can indeed predict the future."
She held her head high and showed a steadfast and unyielding attitude. Gao Rujiao knew that Tang Chumo was here, and she felt sweet in her heart. He must appreciate her independent character that was not afraid of power.
Tang Chumo: ...Where did this fool who has no self-awareness come from?
It was hard for him to understand Gao Rujiao's train of thought. She was accusing a powerful person who could obviously crush her. Was she trying to kill herself?
Tang Lingnan also had an indescribable look on her face. She was about to say something quietly when she heard Mo Bin's clear and loud "Fuck!". She turned around and saw that Shidan, who had been pretending to be dead, suddenly broke free from Mo Bin's hands and fell right into Tang Lingnan's arms before she could react.
The black phoenix's face was obviously filled with joy. She chirped loudly and joyfully, then spread her wings. Her long tail feathers swung fiercely at the people around Tang Lingnan, picked up Tang Lingnan, and flew high, disappearing into the sky in an instant.
Tang Chumo crashed heavily into a tree beside him, knocking down more than a dozen trees before falling to the ground. He spat out a mouthful of dark red blood and watched his sister disappear in front of him.
【Author’s words】
Just treat it as an allusion from the old and new worlds and choose to give up.
The first level of alien classification corresponds to the inferior, the second level corresponds to lv1, and so on, so the sixth level corresponds to lv5
I realized that I had planned to end a world in more than 20 chapters, but looking at the plot later in the outline, it seems that it will never be ended.
