Chapter 422: The Divine Imperial Palace’s Three Generals

“Who are you?”

The soldiers guarding the city sensed that something was wrong with the handsome youth and immediately took out their weapons to question him. All of them looked at him warily.

“Guess!”

The handsome youth tilted his head and his smile became more and more sinister.

This sinister smile instantly made the soldiers nervous. Some of them wanted to gather their courage to continue questioning him, but they were stopped by the experienced city guard captain.

The city guard captain even pulled the surrounding city guards and retreated.

The handsome youth glanced at the city guards in boredom, carrying his long blade as he strode into the city.

The remaining city guards gathered together and whispered a few words. Then, the city guard captain headed straight for the city lord’s manor, preparing to report this matter to the strongest leader of the Resistance Army, Ba Wudi.

An hour later, the handsome youth held a wooden box in his left hand and a blood-stained long blade in his right hand as he walked out of the city.

As he walked, blood slowly dripped from the wooden box, dyeing the ground red and scaring the people around him.

However, no one stopped the handsome youth, nor did anyone ask about the situation. Everyone just retreated in fear as they watched the handsome youth walk further and further away.

Three days later, in Black Rock City...

City lord’s manor, large conference room...

Qin Yue, Song Xiaomei, Hei Niu, Tie Niu, and many other subordinates were having a meeting in the conference room as they talked about what had happened in White Crane City.

At this moment, everyone had solemn expressions on their faces. Even Qin Yue’s small hands were tightly clenched together.

“Is the news true?”

Song Xiaomei could not help but look at Hei Niu who was in charge of gathering intelligence.

“It’s 100% true. White Crane City has our spy. After repeated confirmation, the leader of the resistance, Ba Wudi, has indeed been killed. His head has been taken away.”

Hei Niu answered seriously and slowly opened a cloth bag.

“White Crane City is Ba Wudi’s headquarters. How could he be killed just like that? Who is so powerful that could kill Ba Wudi?”

“He was a Half-Step Gold Rank. He had once fought with a Gold Rank and was known as the strongest person below Gold Rank.”

“How could such a powerful person be killed in his own headquarters? And was the other party really alone?”

In the middle seat, a bull-eyed man with a heavy hammer asked.

His name was Zhou Zhen, and he was at the Silver Rank Peak. He could be considered one of the strongest people under Qin Yue.

“The person who attacked was indeed alone, and it was a handsome young man. That young man carried a long blade on his back, and his teeth were as sharp as shark’s teeth. He liked to squint his eyes.”

“Right, he has short purple hair, and when he doesn’t smile, his temperament is very similar to a neighborhood boy. This is his portrait.”

Hei Niu unwrapped the cloth bag and took out a few portraits.

The portrait on the paper was 70% similar, and it was not very realistic. However, it drew out the person’s characteristics, which increased the degree of recognition.

For example, purple hair, large knife, squinting eyes, sawteeth, handsome young man, and a series of other characteristics.

With such a combination, it was easy to identify this person.

Everyone took the portrait and looked at it carefully. They found that there was no special situation at all. Some even suspected they had taken the wrong portrait because the temperament was too similar to a usual neighborhood boy.

“There’s no need to suspect. It’s indeed this person. When I investigated, I found more information about him. It’s very important information,” Hei Niu said solemnly.

“What information?” Song Xiaomei could not help but ask.

“It’s about this person’s background.” Hei Niu took a deep breath and said again with an unusually solemn expression.

“According to the information we investigated, the Divine Emperor has three great generals under him. The first one is nicknamed Granny Cripple and is the head housekeeper of the Divine Imperial Palace. She is in charge of most of the matters in the Divine Imperial Palace...”

“The second one is nicknamed Mad Giant. His combat strength is unfathomable and extremely valiant. The more he fights, the braver he is. The more injured he is, the higher his combat strength is.”

“In addition, Mad Giant also had the ability to regrow severed limbs. He is not to be trifled with.”

“The third person was also the person we were going to talk about. His nickname is Squinty Eyes. He had purple hair, is handsome, and was good at using knives. Most importantly, he had the Shark Bloodline.”

“Shark Bloodline? You mean to say that the person who killed the invincible tyrant was Squinty Eyes from the Divine Imperial Palace?” Zhou Zhen hurriedly asked.

“Yes, that’s him. Moreover, he killed Ba Wudi in one hit!” Hei Niu’s expression was grave.

“One hit? Is he that Strong?! Gold Rank?” Zhou Zhen asked again.

“Yes, he’s a Gold Rank. He had reached the Gold Rank PEak five years ago. He might be a Half-Saint now!”

“Half-saint?”

Hearing this, everyone was filled with fear.

The Gold Rank was an unreachable existence for them. Since a Half-Saint had appeared, it was a bolt from the blue for everyone.

“That’s not all. According to my intelligence, after Squinty Eyes left, the army of the Divine Imperial Palace came and took many people in White Crane City.”

“Whether they were related to the Resistance Army or not, they were all taken away. 70% of the people in the city were taken into the Divine Imperial Palace. After that, there was no news of them.”

Hei Niu continued to speak, her face full of hatred and powerlessness. Facing the powerful Divine Imperial Palace, there was nothing they could do.

Her words also caused the crowd to fall into silence. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

A Half-Saint Rank powerhouse. It was suffocating to think of such an opponent.

“Do you think Squinty Eyes will come to Black Rock City and kill us?” Zhou Zhen suddenly asked.

After he finished speaking, the crowd fell into silence again. Everyone’s heart sank, not knowing how to answer.

If Squinty Eyes really came, no one here would be able to withstand a single blow from him, let alone Black Rock City.

As for escaping, where could they escape to?

There were so many Mutated Beasts in the outside world, so it was not a long-term place to stay. Moreover, it was almost impossible to hide from a Half-Saint if he wanted to find someone.

Most importantly, the citizens of Black Rock City would also be affected. Perhaps, the entire city would be taken away.

Thinking of this, everyone’s faces turned extremely ugly. They did not know what to do.

“Let’s go. Follow me to hunt the Mutated Beasts. Collect the Blood Pearl and increase our strength. We must make preparations in advance, just in case!”

Qin Yue immediately gave the order. She stood up with her weapon on her back and took large strides outside.

Everyone immediately followed after hearing this. However, they knew that they would not be able to increase their strength much in a short period of time. If even a Gold Rank could not stop the other party, what could they do?

With heavy hearts, everyone left. They went to the outskirts of the city and went on a wild hunt for mutated beasts.

Three days later, another important piece of news arrived, causing all the Resistance Army to realize that they were in big trouble.

This piece of news was...

Xiao Bubai, who had occupied twelve cities and was known as the second-largest faction of the Resistance Army, had been captured. The entire city had been taken over by the Divine Imperial Palace.

The person who had taken action was none other than the Squinty Eyes of the Divine Imperial Palace. He had single-handedly defeated many experts in the city. Under everyone’s watchful eyes, he had easily captured Xiao Bubai and disintegrated the Resistance Army.

After this news was spread out, many of the Resistance Army’s forces felt fear. Some of the Resistance Army’s forces had even left and abandoned the cities they had occupied to escape.
