Bang!
Hayashi River slapped Blue Kitty's forehead, and the sound of metal colliding could be heard. This little guy's forehead was now extraordinarily hard, and it could even break through a six-star alloy plate.
"Don't make a fuss … Where's the harpoon?"
Looking around, Hayashi River found that there was no trace of the harpoon, which made him very worried. Little White Cow's strength was not good enough. If it went out, it would be very dangerous.
"Meow …"
Blue Kitty gestured with its two paws, telling Little White that the harpoon had met up with Man Hua and the others, because it heard that Hayashi River's woman had come …
Hayashi River: "…"
Buzz …
The communicator made a messy sound, and then there was no sound. The signal had been cut off.
However, Hayashi River and Mossy Bone could contact each other freely, so there was no need to worry about communication problems.
"How is it over there?" Hayashi River asked.
"The entire palace is shrouded by the huge Tree of Life. Could it be related to the guy in the secret place …" Mossy Bone responded.
Mossy Bone naturally knew about the Continent Adjudicator in that secret place. Now that such a thing had happened, he naturally thought of that guy.
Hayashi River had the same guess, but he couldn't be so sure until he saw the enemy.
Bang, bang, bang …
Outside the VIP hall, there was a violent crashing sound, as if thousands of enemies were hitting the door, but because of the light emitted by Blue Kitty, they couldn't break in.
Through the sensing goggles, Hayashi River clearly saw that there were no living people outside. They were all branches in human form, madly hitting the doors and windows.
"Is the change you're talking about the chaos caused by the Tree of Life?"
Su Duanpo asked in a low voice. She was very confused about the situation in front of her, but she still calmly received the information and made a judgment.
However, she couldn't believe that a legendary thing like the Tree of Life would suddenly appear and cause such a catastrophic scene.
"It's hard to say … We didn't expect such a change to happen …" Hayashi River said softly.
"You …"
Su Duanpo looked at Liu Shou. She had been curious for a long time. Hayashi River's bodyguard was too extraordinary. Based on her professional experience, he was at least an absolute master above realm six.
A guard of a Realm Six fighter?
What did that mean? It had only been half a year since she parted ways with Hayashi River.
The strongest person in Nan Luo City, Old Master Qiu, was only at level six, and half a year ago, he had performed a legendary battle in Nan Luo City.
Now, just one of Hayashi River's guards had the ability of a level six or above. This was quite a big shock …
"This is Six Arms. He'll be my bodyguard for the time being. Let's not talk about anything else for now. Let's meet up with our people first.
As Hayashi River spoke, a series of cracking sounds came from under his Mechanic robes. [Scaled Arm] quickly extended out, turning into an energy crystal shield that covered the three of them.
Boom …
With a loud bang, the door to the VIP hall opened, and thick vines shot out from all directions like giant pythons with their mouths wide open.
Even the light released by Blue Kitty could not withstand such an impact. This was something even more powerful than those human shaped vines.
"So we still attracted attention …"
Hayashi River frowned. The energy shield around him emitted countless electromagnetic pulses, and the shield quickly transformed into a three-sided gear that spun and cut rapidly.
Those thick vines were cut into pieces and turned into charcoal by the electromagnetic pulses. A burnt smell spread out …
Su Duanpo had already taken out a sealed sensor helmet and put it on her and her adjutant's head …
Hayashi River and Liu Shou did not have such concerns. One had spiritual energy to protect his body, and the other was from the Shadow Tribe. They did not care about this smell at all.
"Found you! You brat! "
An angry roar came, and a four-meter-tall figure walked in. There were dozens of vines dancing around his body, and in the center of this figure was a head. It was Viscount Manthe.
At this time, Viscount Manthe's face was covered with green veins that kept pulsing. His eyes were also green and emitted a strange light. He did not have pupils, and he stared at them without focus, reflecting the figures of Hayashi River and the other two.
Suddenly, Viscount Manthe's face turned ferocious, and he roared hysterically, "This woman is mine! She belongs to me, Viscount Manthe!?"
Bang …
Dozens of vines swept over. That strange and powerful aura made people's hair stand on end.
Even within the energy barrier, Su Duanpo also felt a sense of suffocation. She clearly knew that a battle of this level was not something she could participate in. She would die without a burial ground if she was just a little bit involved.
Hum!
The six arms swung their sabers, but they weren't aiming at the vines. Instead, they slashed at the wall on the right. The saber light flashed, and the wall was cut open. Surprisingly, there were many human-like branches of life that were about to pounce over, but they were cut into pieces by the extremely sharp saber light.
"The Tree of Life is indeed strange. Is it being controlled …"
Hayashi River frowned. He was proficient in spiritual energy, and could clearly see Viscount Manthe's state. This guy was being controlled.
Or, it was just like the strange rumors. This was the terrifying change after consuming the sap of the Tree of Life …
Raising his hand, Hayashi River clenched his fist. With a boom, the three energy crystal gears collided, causing a huge explosion of electromagnetic energy.
In the next moment, the entire VIP hall exploded and turned into ruins. Hayashi River and the others were nowhere to be seen.
"Cowards!? Do you only know how to run … "Viscount Manthe roared, turned around, and rushed in one direction.
On the other side.
In the back garden of the palace, Hayashi River hugged Su Duanpo, and his six hands carried his adjutant as he flew forward.
Frowning, Hayashi River had already noticed that Viscount Manthe seemed to have seen him, and was rushing in his direction.
In terms of speed, Lin Chuan's current speed with [Scale-Splitting Arm] and the [Seventh Armament] on his body was not inferior to a level-seven fighter, and he was moving at a speed that was under Breath Control.
Viscount Manthe's current state was strange. While his power had increased by leaps and bounds, he was still only a realm six fighter.
However, this guy had easily grasped Hayashi River's route, and was charging in a straight line.
"This is troublesome … The area covered by the Tree of Life will see our movements …" Hayashi River frowned.
"Even Mister Chuan's concealment technique cannot escape …"
Six Hands was a little shocked. He knew how terrifying Hayashi River's concealment technique was. The concealment of Materialized Mental Energy, other than a thousand-year-old monster like Man Hua, even a realm eight fighter would not be able to detect it.
"The Tree of Life is really strange …"
Lin Chuan suddenly turned around and drew several arcs in the air. Spikes shot up from the ground, and they were coincidentally at the spot where he stood.
In the distance, Viscount Manthe's shrill laughter came closer. In the thick green mist, his figure could be faintly seen as he ran, growing stronger and stronger.
Rumble …
Around him, tens of thousands of vines shot out from the ground, intertwining to form walls of vines, blocking Hayashi River's path.
Hum …
Six Hands spread his arms, two giant longswords in his hands. His body spun in the air, turning into a ball of light that slashed at one of the vine walls.
This Shadow Tribe fighter had rich battle experience, and could already tell that the opponent wanted to stop them from joining up.
Admittedly, with the strength of Hayashi River, Six Hands, and Blue Kitty, it was enough to deal with any unexpected situation.
However, the current situation was too strange. Joining up with the main force was the safest plan.
Clang!?
The sharp blade energy slashed the vine wall, but it could not cut it open. Instead, a strange rebounding force came from within, bouncing Six Hands back.
"This vine wall has the defense of a realm eight fighter …" Six Hands shouted in a low voice.
Hayashi River's eyebrows twitched. This was not good news, and he had a bad feeling.
Hiss hiss …
The Moon Core's voice sounded. It had already analyzed that the defense of the vine wall required the power of a realm eight fighter to break it.
At this time, a voice suddenly sounded in everyone's ears. "Stay here obediently and play with my puppet. After I finish off that old thing Man Hua, I'll deal with you …"
There was a hint of sharpness in the voice, but it was an incomparably pleasant female voice.
Hayashi River was shocked. It was not the voice of the continent's adjudicator …
Whoosh …
At the same time, Viscount Manthe had arrived. He was not the only one, but also tens of thousands of humanoid vine soldiers.
Bam bam bam …
Tens of thousands of vine soldiers raised their bows high, and arrows rained down like locusts. Viscount Manthe rushed over and weaved through the rain of arrows.
It was not that Viscount Manthe's movements were exquisite, but that when the arrows hit him, they immediately melted into him and then shot out from the other side of his body. This made the arrows' trajectories even harder to track.
"Skinny Mechanic brat, die for me! This woman is mine! "Viscount Manthe roared. His voice was like thunder.
Hayashi River frowned, and his expression turned cold. The mechanic robe on his body suddenly expanded, and with a bang, an extremely powerful ripple appeared.
Instantly, with his body as the center, the area a hundred meters in diameter fell into a force field as heavy as a mountain. The vine arrows were crushed under the terrifying pressure.
"[Gravitational Force Field]?!"
Under Hayashi River's mechanic robe, the [Seventh Armor] was already activated. The outer shell of the liquid metal plate flowed continuously on the surface of his body, and an extremely powerful energy ripple rushed out like a flood, quickly covering the area a hundred meters in diameter.
Then, he raised his hand and slapped the air towards Viscount Manthe, who was charging towards him.
Bang!
A flood of energy rushed over and collided with Viscount Manthe.
In the next moment, the ten-meter tall vines on Viscount Manthe's body were crushed. Countless vines shattered and shot in all directions, revealing Viscount Manthe's original body.
That body was already riddled with holes, pierced through by vines. His body was also three times smaller than when he was in front of the palace, as if he had been sucked dry.
"Huh … This is …"
That strange voice rose again, and it was filled with astonishment. It was shocked by the strength Lin Chuan displayed.
Su Duanpo's eyes also widened. She was the most shocked. Was this man in front of her really the young man she had an intimate relationship with?
This young man was only a little over twenty years old, yet he had such terrifying power. This move had already reached the level of a realm seven …
"I've underestimated you … After all, you are the old man Hua's companions, and none of you are weak. However, realm seven strength is not enough to interfere in our battle …" The strange voice mumbled.
As the strange voice muttered, the ground suddenly split open. Vines coiled around Viscount Manthe's body like snakes and covered him again.
Then, Viscount Manthe's twisted face opened his green eyes again, and he flew over.
"So it didn't work? The Tree of Life's regenerative ability is so troublesome … "Hayashi River muttered.
"Owner, don't worry. After collecting some more data, we will have a countermeasure. "[Moon Core]'s voice sounded confidently.
Hayashi River nodded slightly, and ordered Blue Kitty to take care of Su Duanpo. Then, he moved towards the revived Viscount Manthe.
…
At this moment —
The Northern King's palace was the only place that was not invaded by the green mist. However, the situation was not much better. This was because there were the most rattan soldiers gathered here, and the number was still increasing. There were already a hundred thousand of them.
Around the palace, rays of sword light flashed. The Northern King held a huge sword with a cross hilt. The sword released rays of sword light, which protected the entire palace and minced the vines that were pouncing over.
The Northern King held the giant sword, and his aura continued to rise, becoming stronger and stronger. The strength of his Psychic Force had already reached the peak of realm eight.
"This birthday banquet of mine really has everyone coming to join in the fun and give me such a surprise …"
The giant sword vibrated slightly, reflecting the Northern King's frown. Activating the giant sword that represented the Northern King did not consume much energy. He could maintain it for ten days and ten nights.
However, the sword protection formed by the giant sword had a weakness, and that was that it made it difficult for him to move.
"Father, I can do it for you!"
The princess said softly. A strange mark appeared on the back of her right hand, and it actually resonated with the giant sword.
"If you hold the sword and activate the sword protection, it will be difficult for you to escape if anything happens. Let me do it. We'll make a decision after we understand the situation …" the Northern King said in a low voice.
There was not much panic in his words. It was as if he already knew the situation in the palace like the back of his hand, and it gave people a sense of security.
The princess bit her red lips, and a trace of worry flashed across her eyes. She was not worried about her father. As the closest person to the Northern King, she was very clear about how powerful her father was.
She was worried about her teacher, who had come to the banquet, suddenly encountered such an unforeseen event. She did not know if her teacher was safe or not.
"If I had known … I would have revealed my identity and brought my teacher here …" The princess sighed secretly.
Suddenly, the Northern King roared angrily. He waved the giant sword in his hand and slashed forward.
At this moment, the countless rays of light that shrouded the palace gathered together and transformed into a giant blade. It descended from the sky and slashed the square in front of the palace into pieces.
Rumble …
Amidst the flying rubble, a figure gradually appeared and continued to rise until it reached a height of a hundred meters.
"As expected of the strongest King of the North after a thousand years. This King's Sword is able to display such power in your hands …"
The figure paced, and a heavy echo came from the ground. The smoke and dust dispersed, revealing the figure's true appearance.
