165: Chapter 165 Crisis in Dongfang City

"What's going on?" Song Rentou expressed his confusion.

However, the old man beside him had sharp eyes and saw Mu Cheng's abnormality at a glance.

"Young Master, there is no need to worry. Although that kid was beaten half to death, he hasn't fallen down yet."

"That's true. No one would get beaten for no reason; it must be to become stronger." Song Rentou also realized it.

Mu Cheng fell down time and time again, but he stood up again and again, completely like an unkillable cockroach.

"Even though this guy hasn't broken through the void, how is he doing it?" At this moment, Mu Cheng finally noticed something was wrong.

The attacks were clearly very ordinary and didn't break through the void, yet they were still incredibly strong.

"No... could it be that this guy was also deliberately arranged?" Mu Cheng became increasingly suspicious.

He was just worrying about how to complete his third Breaking and Rebuilding, and now it had come knocking on his door, combined with this style of attack.

It truly made him fall into deep thought, and he couldn't help but suspect it was another setup.

As time passed, Mu Cheng finally completed his third Breaking and Rebuilding, and his entire body felt filled with power.

"Finally finished. It seems this guy is no longer of any use, so I'll use it to practice my moves." Despite taking the attacks head-on, Mu Cheng was still completely fine.

But at this moment, he was even more interested in the Headless Corpse's attack style, and before long, they were locked in a brawl.

"He... seems to have become stronger. He clearly had no strength to fight back, but now they are evenly matched." Song Rentou was very shocked.

The old man: "No, no, no, it's not that they are evenly matched, but that he can now crush it at will."

"Could it be... he wants to learn the Headless Corpse's fighting style?" Song Rentou asked as he realized.

Other than that, he really couldn't think of a better reason.

The old man thought for a moment and said, "Probably! But his physical strength has at least more than doubled."

Although they didn't know exactly what Mu Cheng wanted to do, the Headless Corpse's attacks couldn't hurt him in the slightest now.

From this point alone, it was enough to prove that Mu Cheng's physical strength had reached a terrifying level.

"I see. Then I'll finish you off!" Mu Cheng finally understood.

Wasting no more time, with just a single punch, he knocked the Headless Corpse to the ground, and it no longer showed any movement.

"Is it over just like that? Is he even human?"

"My god, who exactly is this guy? Such a terrifying existence, and he one-shotted it with a single punch?"

"Tell me this isn't real, it's not real."

...The crowd instantly exploded in an uproar.

"Good grief, he's terrifyingly strong." Song Rentou was also completely unsettled.

The old man: "He is indeed very strong, likely reaching the level of the Ninth Order Peak."

"Not at all, I'm just a Seventh Order Peak scrub. Someone at the Ninth Order Peak could one-shot me easily." Mu Cheng's voice suddenly drifted over.

By now, he had already arrived at the defensive line.

"Will you die if you don't brag?" Song Rentou was speechless.

"Work hard." Mu Cheng didn't say much, just patted Song Rentou on the shoulder, released his Purple Cloud Wings, and left with Xiao Yao.

The Song family suffered heavy losses this time; out of over a thousand people, only three hundred remained, with nearly five hundred injured.

"Mumu, the situation has been resolved. You can look after the families stationed here." Mu Cheng sent out a message.

Before long, Tao Mumu replied, "Don't worry, Brother Cheng, I'll arrange everything."

"Master, where are we going?" Xiao Yao suddenly asked.

Mu Cheng suddenly snapped out of it and stopped. "Damn!!! I really don't know where to go."

Right now, he truly didn't know what to do.

He couldn't be blamed; he had no lack of resources, Transcendent Martial Arts, or divine artifacts... He had everything, so he really didn't know what to do.

But at that moment, he suddenly received another message from Tao Mumu. "By the way, Brother Cheng, get ready. Sister Yanyan wants you to go out with her to handle some business in three days."

"Three days... forget it... I'll go to the defensive line and forge some more semi-divine artifacts." After thinking it over, Mu Cheng finally made a decision.

Better safe than sorry. Although semi-divine artifacts weren't incredibly powerful, they were significantly stronger than black gold weapons.

By forging more, the overall strength of Menglou Pavilion would also skyrocket.

Dongfang City Hero Association Control Room.

A woman dressed in a black military uniform suddenly operated the control panel to send out a message.

"Sister Yunzi, the Iron-Armored Dragon is here."

Soon, Lu Yunzi's bracelet rang as she received the message, but she didn't say a word.

Instead, she quickly appeared atop the defensive line. She was now wearing a set of golden armor, and with the aura she radiated, she looked as cool and impressive as a God of War.

Sure enough, after a moment, a massive figure crawled out from the Black Sea, shaped like a tortoise.

It was the size of an island over thirty kilometers wide, and when it stood up, it reached a height of over a thousand meters from its feet to its head.

Lu Yunzi didn't hesitate at all, releasing her Bloodline Wings and flying toward the Iron-Armored Dragon at full speed.

The Iron-Armored Dragon also sensed the danger and suddenly charged toward Lu Yunzi like it had gone mad.

Without any hesitation, Lu Yunzi grabbed the Iron-Armored Dragon's tail in the blink of an eye and slammed it onto the ground with a powerful swing.

"What terrifying... strength. Who... is she?"

"I'm not being a hero anymore, I want to go home."

"I'm quitting too, my mom called me home for dinner."

...On the defensive line, many people began to feel frightened.

In another corner of the defensive line, Peppa suddenly asked, "Lingling, do you think Sister Yunzi can do it?"

"It's hard to say. The Iron-Armored Dragon is, after all, a Monster King; hunting it down won't be an easy task."

Xia Lingling was naturally aware of the Iron-Armored Dragon's defense; without using God-level power, it would be very difficult to break through.

Furthermore, for Lu Yunzi to try and hunt the Iron-Armored Dragon relying solely on brute force was indeed extremely difficult.

Peppa: "Fortunately, she knows where her advantage lies. To hunt this Iron-Armored Dragon now, she must force it into a berserk state. Also, Lingling... are you sure there's no need to step in?"

"It's just a mere Iron-Armored Dragon. Sister Yunzi isn't stupid; you'll see soon enough." Xia Lingling wasn't panicked at all.

Lu Yunzi was sent flying countless times, yet she charged back toward the island-like Iron-Armored Dragon every single time.

Although she was nothing more than an ant in the Iron-Armored Dragon's eyes, each of her impacts sent the Iron-Armored Dragon tumbling several times.

On the defensive line, a pregnant Lu Yuxuan watched Lu Yunzi being knocked back repeatedly, never giving up on her counterattacks.

She felt terrible inside, and the tears in her eyes could no longer be held back as they flowed down.

"It seems Mother has truly made up her mind to stand up for humanity this time. But no matter what... please don't undo the Seal."

"This is still far from enough. She's not going to undo the Seal, is she?" Peppa asked with some concern.
