As soon as he finished speaking, Tianlong raised his right hand.
The movements appear gentle and understated, but the energy they contain is enough to influence the surrounding rules.
The steward of the Ao family instantly realized that Tianlong was about to attack them, and immediately let out a terrified scream:
"Wait...no!"
He instantly unleashed all his energy, trying to resist and escape, but his body was pinned to the spot by the terrifying pressure.
As Tianlong's arm swung down like a guillotine.
"Boom—!"
A majestic and thunderous dragon roar resounded over the Silver City base.
In an instant, the wind and clouds changed color, and the world fell silent!
The dense dark clouds were forcibly torn apart by an invisible force!
A huge dragon claw with dark green dragon scales emerged from the clouds.
This dragon claw is not a physical object, yet it is more terrifying than any physical object.
With an absolute speed that surpasses any biological reaction, it instantly swept across the ruins of Silver City, across the control room, and across every corner of the base!
The air was instantly sliced apart, and time seemed to freeze.
Inside the control room, the steward of the Ao family stared wide-eyed, his mouth agape, still wearing the expression of his earlier terrified screams.
The personnel at the control panel and the Ao family assassins remained in their operating postures, their movements frozen in place.
The guards patrolling the base's passageways, the engineers beside the energy core, and all the members of the Au family in various locations...
All 820 people at the Silver City base froze completely the instant the dragon's claw swept across!
As if the pause button on life had been pressed, energy and breath dissipated simultaneously!
There was no struggle, no screams, and not even a moment of pain.
Even after death, their bodies did not fall down, but remained in the same posture as when they were alive. Only the frozen expressions on their faces told of the extreme horror they had experienced before their deaths.
All energy fluctuations and all signs of life disappeared.
The entire underground base of Silver City instantly fell into absolute silence.
All that remained was the faint "rustling" sound of rainwater constantly washing over the orbital cannons.
quiet...
There is only one kind of absolute, deathly stillness.
Outside the base.
Zhou Lin, struggling to his feet, stared incredulously at the now completely silent Silver City base in the distance.
In his perception, the chaotic life force within the base had been extinguished in an instant, and now he couldn't detect even a trace of energy fluctuation.
Realizing what had happened, Zhou Lin's body trembled uncontrollably with fear.
"Dead...dead...all dead..." he muttered to himself in a daze. His lips trembled, and his face was deathly pale.
So many awakened individuals in the Silver City base, many of whom were core combatants trained by the Ao family, all died instantly, without even a chance to escape. They died silently and collectively!
He only saw a giant dragon claw descend from the sky, seemingly just an illusion, yet it killed everyone in the Silver City base in an instant.
What terrified him most was that the entire base remained intact after the attack. The dragon claw's power, which was enough to easily destroy everything, swept through and took away a large number of lives, yet it didn't even damage the walls!
This kind of destructive power, so precise to the extreme, is completely beyond his comprehension!
Tianlong's power is beyond imagination; he truly regards life as worthless.
Zhou Lin did not flee, nor did he dare to flee.
He knew all too well that running away was futile against an existence of Tianlong's caliber. Any attempt to escape would only hasten his death.
Zhou Lin didn't want to die, nor did he want to be buried with those lunatics from the Ao family!
When Tianlong's demonic figure reappeared silently in front of Zhou Lin and his teammates, Zhou Lin almost burst into tears.
The shadow of death has never been so clear!
He scrambled forward, fell heavily to his knees, and pleaded desperately in a hoarse voice:
"Lord Tianlong! Spare us! Spare us! It really wasn't our fault, we knew nothing!"
"It's all the Ao family's fault! It was all those lunatics in the Ao family who did it! We were deceived by them, we are victims too!"
The team members behind Zhou Lin were also terrified and knelt down one after another, their voices trembling as they echoed:
"Yes, Lord Tianlong, the Ao family has long since taken complete control of the base and the orbital cannon through various means. They would be crazy to start firing. We are powerless to resist!"
The group desperately tried to distance themselves from the situation, shifting all blame onto the already deceased members of the Au family.
Tianlong looked down, his gaze calmly landing on Zhou Lin.
Zhou Lin lowered his head in terror. The strange light in Tianlong's eyes seemed to penetrate his eyes and see into all the secrets deep within his heart.
“It’s Zhou Zhenbei.” Tianlong spoke slowly, not as a question, but as a statement.
The name, spoken so casually, exploded in Zhou Lin's mind like a thunderclap!
Zhou Lin was jolted violently, as if struck by an electric current. He looked up abruptly, his face filled with disbelief and terror!
He wanted to refute, to say something to argue his point, but when he met Tianlong's all-seeing dragon eyes, all his lies seemed so pale and powerless.
His lips trembled violently, and under the invisible pressure, he finally answered uncontrollably:
"......yes!"
Zhou Lin felt a chill run through his body. He realized that he had said an answer he should never have said, and he understood that from this moment on, he was no longer of any value.
Driven by his survival instinct, he grasped at the last straw, and before Tianlong could act, he screamed desperately:
