Return of the King, Dominating the City

Chapter 2099: Chapter 1868: Gathering Together

"You actually killed the gift my wife left behind!" Zhong Junnan glared at Song Yun with a ferocious expression, roaring: "I’ll kill you, I must kill you!"

"Idiot, scram!"

Song Yun showed a look of disgust, slapping out with a palm.

Void-breaking Palm.

The void trembled as a massive True Qi palm shattered the void, descending from the heavens, slamming towards Zhong Junnan.

As long as Zhong Junnan dies, the poisonous creatures will be without a master, and will immediately disperse.

By then, there will be no need for the trouble of clearing the poisonous creatures.

"Ah!"

Zhong Junnan exclaimed, hastily mobilizing the surrounding poisonous creatures to block the Void-breaking Palm.

But it was too late.

As the palm was about to smash into him, suddenly, something changed.

A figure flashed past Zhong Junnan’s side, pulling him two meters away.

Boom.

The Void-breaking Palm descended, turning the poisonous creatures on the ground into pulp.

However, it missed Zhong Junnan by just a hair.

Still, the True Qi’s aftermath reached out, making Zhong Junnan and the other stagger.

"Who?"

Song Yun looked beside Zhong Junnan to see a Westerner, about 1.8 meters tall, bearded, very handsome, wearing a trench coat, exuding the mature aura of a middle-aged man.

Yet, the huge sword on his back indicated he was no ordinary man.

Moreover, being able to save Zhong Junnan from the Void-breaking Palm already proved his strength.

"Mid-tier SSS level!"

Song Yun discerned the man’s level, frowning slightly.

"Being able to hide his level, this trick is quite interesting."

The bearded man looked at Song Yun with an amused expression.

Then his gaze turned to the black light broken sword in Song Yun’s right hand, sneering: "We haven’t even reached the Daxia Ruins, and we’ve already encountered such a treasure. Kid, this broken sword is ours, you can leave now."

We!

This word attracted Song Yun’s attention.

He realized, the bearded man saved Zhong Junnan, and Zhong Junnan had a confused expression, indicating that they weren’t on the same side.

So when the bearded man said "we", it meant he had other accomplices.

He was mid-tier SSS level, his accomplices were at least early-tier SSS level.

And, it was unclear how many of them there were.

The situation was much worse than Song Yun had anticipated.

However, he was not afraid, he attacked directly, the Void-breaking Palm, launched towards the bearded man.

"No need for you to leave, die here!"

Accompanying Song Yun’s cold shout, the palm image appeared from the void, only half a meter from the bearded man, blasting towards him.

Zizzling...

The sound of electricity rang out, forming an invisible electromagnetic field in front of the bearded man.

The electromagnetic field’s current was strong, visible sparks flickering.

"Kid, you underestimate the Twelve Crowns too much."

Another voice echoed.

Song Yun’s heart skipped a beat, realizing it wasn’t good.

"Damn it, are the Twelve Crowns really all twelve SSS level?"

Boom.

The Void-breaking Palm struck the electromagnetic field, momentarily blocked.

The bearded man and Zhong Junnan, taking advantage of the palm’s obstruction, quickly evaded to the side.

As soon as they moved away, the electromagnetic field was breached, highly unstable currents leaked outwards.

All around, the poisonous creatures were electrocuted into chard blackness.

The Void-breaking Palm that breached the electromagnetic field blasted forward.

Rumbling...

One tree after another fell, crashing down, crushing untold numbers of poisonous creatures beneath them.

After the Void-breaking Palm surged dozens of meters forwards, the True Qi gradually dissipated.

"Damn it, why did I have to run into people from the Twelve Crowns."

Song Yun’s expression turned grave, looking towards the bearded man.

At some unknown point, two men appeared next to the bearded man.

One was tall and thin, back slightly stooped, wearing thick glasses, clad in a white lab coat, like a research professor.

The other wore a tight black bodysuit as a base, overlaid with mechanical equipment, hands wearing two rugby-sized spherical instruments, the surface of the spheres sparkled with electricity.

Without a doubt, the electromagnetic field earlier must have been created by this guy.

What gave Song Yun a headache was that these two guys were also mid-tier SSS level.

Though it was better than expected, not all of the Twelve Crowns were there.

But three mid-tier SSS level fighters, plus Zhong Junnan controlling hundreds of thousands of poisonous creatures, left the Nine Stars in a dire situation.

At this moment, suddenly, the poisonous creatures besieging the Nine Stars receded like a tide, quickly disappearing without a trace.

This situation was strange.

As long as Zhong Junnan was alive, these poisonous creatures should not have stopped attacking.

Song Yun felt suspicious, his gaze turned to the three Twelve Crowns members.

Immediately, he looked puzzled.

The man in the white coat held a sharp scalpel, stabbing into Zhong Junnan’s heart.

Zhong Junnan was already dead, a few scorpions crawled out from his wound.

The man in the white coat used the scalpel to cut open Zhong Junnan’s chest cavity, shaking his head: "What a disappointment, I thought his heart would be a poisonous creature too."

The bearded man frowned, showing displeasure: "Clark, what are you doing? I saved him, not for you to kill!"

The man in the white coat shook his head: "Rodney, you can’t blame me. This guy is just trash, you shouldn’t have saved him in the first place."

The man with two spherical instruments on his hands interjected: "Clark, this guy could control poisonous creatures, he would’ve been somewhat useful if kept alive."
