Chapter 1283: Chapter 1283

If before, Elder Dong Feng’s words could possibly have been a slip of the tongue, then now, these phrases are pearls, resounding and powerful, how could they be a mistake?

So, the citizens of South City finally realized that the mayor standing in front of them is really no good person; he wants to kill everyone!

"Damn it! Damn it! So all of this was his trap!"

deeply regretted it and cried out in anguish.

South City has a populace of up to 300,000 people, and now, the main forces of the Black Hole Clan have all betrayed Elder Dong Feng, so for Elder Dong Feng to achieve his goals, he must first gather the 300,000 people together.

No matter how strong Elder Dong Feng is, gathering such a large crowd in a short time will also consume quite a bit of time. However, 38 and the others followed the orders of Tian Qi and Daichong and came to move the South City citizens, which played right into Elder Dong Feng’s hands!

Everything is Elder Dong Feng’s conspiracy; he quietly returned to South City, yet hid his figure, letting no one realize he was there. Then, he tampered with the Different Space devices of South City’s Underground City, allowing him to wait for 38 and the others to gather the South City citizens together...

And the gathered citizens, due to Elder Dong Feng’s words, also began to fall into panic!

"Did everyone hear? What did the mayor just say? Did he say he’s going to kill us all here?"

"Though it wasn’t directly said, between the lines, the meaning seems to be just that! This mayor, I never thought he was a bad person!"

"So what do we do now? Escape? But right now, we can’t even move, how can we escape?"

The citizens have become frantic and all want to flee, but unfortunately, Elder Dong Feng has already cast his spell, immobilizing all the citizens, so these citizens have no way to escape.

The 300,000 citizens of South City, began to doubt 38 and the others who loudly proclaimed they would transfer everyone out...

"It turns out this was all a conspiracy! Everything was the mayor’s plot, and those so-called ’Saviors’ earlier are all in cahoots with him! They deliberately gathered us here just to find a place to kill us all!"

"What Underground City of South City; now it seems, it was simply a mass grave; so many of us will die here!"

"The thing that pains me the most is that the police are actually siding with them; could it be that the police of South City have never been benevolent?"

"Damn it! Damn it! I should have left South City long ago! The whole South City has rotted from the root; if only I had left in the morning, none of this would have happened!"

Facing the accusations from South City’s citizens, 38 and the others can only silently endure it, for it is indeed due to their own actions that all the citizens have fallen into peril.

In a certain sense, those who, with good intentions, make things worse, are likewise accomplices of the bad ones!

"Everyone, calm down! I guarantee you in the name of the police; they are not bad people! Absolutely, won’t do anything that would endanger everyone’s lives! The worst person is only the mayor himself!"

Detective Team Leader Zhang Kan shouted earnestly, from his interactions with 38 and the others, he clearly knew the character of those who came to save the South City citizens.

Unfortunately, even though he was willing to do his best, in the end, it all fell short, as the mayor suddenly appeared and immobilized all the citizens, how could he be a good person...

Of course, although Zhang Kan spoke loudly, it wasn’t enough to let everyone hear, because he, too, without Inner Strength protection, found himself unable to move.

Yet Zhang Kan, with his consciousness as a detective team leader, quietly perceived the aura emitted from Elder Dong Feng; it simply couldn’t be emitted by humans; Elder Dong Feng, in Zhang Kan’s view, was akin to a god!

Therefore, Zhang Kan couldn’t help but tremble...

But Elder Dong Feng wasn’t in a rush to take his next action; rather, he slowly walked over to 38 and patted him on the shoulder.

"Even though the Annihilation Squad has now betrayed the Black Hole Clan, your actions still satisfy me! I don’t know what you’re called, but you did well! Very well!"

The opponent was close, 38 could distinctly feel the immense pressure from Elder Dong Feng; he tightly clenched his fist, but found himself unable to attack Elder Dong Feng.

Just facing Elder Dong Feng directly made it hard to maintain a clear mind; in such a situation, what talk could there be of attacking Elder Dong Feng?

And Elder Dong Feng obviously did not regard the Annihilation Squad and the Martial Artists of Tianmen as a threat, as for the other Martial Artists present, they were just old, weak, sickly, and simply not worth mentioning...

Number 38 gritted his teeth in anger, clearly aware that the gap in strength between him and Elder Dong Feng was immense. Confronting Elder Dong Feng head-on was like an egg hitting a stone—there was no chance of victory for him.

However, Number 38 couldn’t hold back. Not only him, the disciples of the Heavenly Gate and those Martial Artists who could still fight were all brewing the strength within their bodies!

"What’s the matter? Planning to fight? But do you have any chance of winning? Aren’t you afraid of death?"

Elder Dong Feng snorted coldly. Even if all the Martial Artists present joined forces, he wouldn’t be afraid.

The Annihilation Squad that Number 38 and others belonged to, although formally under Elder Dong Feng, in reality, none of the Martial Artists in the squad had ever seen Elder Dong Feng exert his full strength. No one knew how strong Elder Dong Feng truly was. His power was like a bottomless pit, impossible for anyone to gauge its depth.

Within the Black Hole Clan, Elder Nan Feng’s strength was already extraordinarily powerful. All clan members knew that Elder Nan Feng had attained an invincible realm, yet he willingly remained beneath Elder Dong Feng, not daring to overstep his bounds.

This, therefore, illustrated that Elder Dong Feng’s power was indescribably immense...

However, within the Underground City of South City, 300,000 South City citizens were gathered, powerless and defenseless. If the remaining bit of fighting power didn’t battle, they would all become prey for Elder Dong Feng!

Thus, with trembling hands, Number 38 resolutely said, "Elder Dong Feng, your strength is indeed formidable. Even if all of us combined, we are not your match! But this doesn’t mean any of us fear you. This time, for the citizens of South City, we will give it our all!"

Number 38’s words resonated with the other Martial Artists—

"That’s right! Elder Dong Feng, no matter how strong you are, you cannot defeat the determination of everyone united! With the righteous on our side, and few standing with you, now everyone opposes you. We refuse to believe you can defeat so many!"

"Today, for the citizens of South City, we’ll let you taste the power of the Heavenly Gate’s disciples! The Heavenly Gate is an ally of the Night King Hall. Our goal is to defeat you and save the entire South City!"

"As the mayor, using the citizens of South City is intolerable! Elder Dong Feng, now is the time to pay for your ambitions!"

All the Martial Artists vowed with determination. Elder Dong Feng faced the resolute Martial Artists but remained indifferent, calmly saying, "How interesting, my direct subordinates, how can you utter such unrealistic words after betraying the Black Hole Clan?

Do you think, with your meager combat power, you can save the citizens of South City? In my hands, you can’t even protect your own lives, let alone save these people!"

Elder Dong Feng’s words were arrogant yet grounded in reality!

With the fighting power gathered in the Underground City of South City, to battle this leader among the Four Elders of the Black Hole Clan seemed near impossible...

Of course, this didn’t mean that as long as Ye Tian joined the fray, the situation would change. Even if Ye Tian had the strength to defeat Elder Nan Feng, even if Ye Tian were at 100% and joined forces with his brothers, it was feared they still wouldn’t be a match for Elder Dong Feng!

The Martial Artists, including Number 38, were all terrified, but they were the only force within this Underground City that could contend with Elder Dong Feng. If even they couldn’t make a move, there wouldn’t be anyone left to stop Elder Dong Feng...

So, even if it meant death, the crowd was determined to fight!

"Elder Dong Feng, I won’t let you harm everyone. I want to protect everyone!"

Number 38 roared, and he wasn’t fighting alone. His brothers gathered behind him, all glaring angrily at Elder Dong Feng.

"That’s right! Elder Dong Feng, no matter how domineering you are, we will fight you!"

"Even if it means death, we must stop you from harming the citizens of South City!"

"We must kill you! We must save South City!"

The Martial Artists were filled with righteous indignation, and the South City citizens nearby heard Number 38 and others clearly. Those who were skeptical of them began to shift their attitudes.

"It seems these people who brought us here aren’t bad people. They came here to save us."

"The real villain is the mayor! He had ulterior motives from the start. That’s why he purposely became the mayor of South City and manipulated people’s hearts. Just as he was about to close his trap, someone intervened—those who came to save us!"

"It seems so, damned opportunist, using us. Fortunately, his plot was seen through early on. His grand delusion will inevitably crumble!"

For the citizens of South City, emotions spread very quickly.
