Chapter 494: Chapter 384: Black Iron City’s Counterattack (4th update)

This white-clothed man pushed away with ease, shattering the double-layer shield that Wang Yiping had struggled to conjure, causing this "sixth-order powerhouse" to gasp in shock, barely believing his own eyes.

Yet, the white-clothed man acted as if he’d done something insignificant, comforting the raging "Black Dragon Horse". Only when the "Black Dragon Horse" calmed down did he turn around with a smug smile, scrutinizing the crowd in front of him.

Unfazed by the hundreds of people before him, this white-clothed man showed not the slightest trace of trepidation. Instead, his gaze and demeanor suggested he was scrutinizing his subordinates.

Despite appearing to be around thirty, the man projected a sense of neatness and efficiency, his long dark hair cascading down to his shoulders and his skin flawlessly white, dressed in finely crafted white clothing. By comparison, everyone – even Su Yu and Jin Fuhua, the leader of Peach Blossom Town – seemed like country bumpkins.

"You may step back," Jin Fuhua gently stroked the iron eagle, a category 5 lifeform, perched on his shoulder, signaling Wang Yiping and Yang Shenghua to retreat. Even a fool could see that the white-clothed man was no ordinary being. Anyone capable of possessing the "Black Dragon King" as a mount was far from ordinary. He was probably waiting for them just outside the South Gate.

There was also a category 5 lifeform perched on the white-clothed man’s shoulder, though it was extremely tiny. Unless you looked closely, it could easily be overlooked.

The man gathered up his coat and unhooked the water pouch at his waist. He removed the cork, took a slow sip, and a faint smell of wine filled the air.

Wine, in this world, was a high-end luxury that ordinary wealth couldn’t afford.

Jin Fuhua stared at the man, who remained nonchalant facing hundreds of people. Finally, he couldn’t hold back and spoke, "May I know if you are from Black Iron City?"

The crowd shuddered at his words, pondering if this enigmatic man blocking their path truly was from Black Iron City. But why was he alone?

After taking a sip of his drink, wiping his lips, and resealing his flask, the man grinned and nodded, "Indeed. I am Jiang Hai from Black Iron City."

This statement landed like a thunderbolt, instigating a flurry of noises among the crowd. Many, out of shock and reflex, drew their weapons or entered their mutated states.

Jin Fuhua, unhappy with their reaction, glanced back at his hastily assembled team. If they panicked this easily, how could they withstand the army of Black Iron City without breaking ranks?

"Jiang Hai?" Jin Fuhua frowned, not recognizing this man who claimed to be from Black Iron City. He calmly asked, "Since you are here, where are the others from Black Iron City? Call them out too."

Jiang Hai spread his hands in an all-is-well manner, "Just me. Why do we need others? I’m here to find someone named Su Yu." His gaze rested on the nonchalant Su Yu, who’d been riding the Demon Horse, "Su Yu, that’s you, right?"

Finally, Su Yu responded. He drew his eyes to the white-clothed man and gave a slight nod. Then he lightly patted the head of the Demon Horse, which moved forward a few steps. Looking at the white-clothed man, he smiled lightly and said, "You’re here for me? To kill me, I presume?"

Jiang Hai laughed and then shook his head, "Su Yu, you are still too young. You cannot keep your cool." He looked at the crowd and smiled faintly, "Believing that Black Iron City will not forgive you, you decided to strike preemptively, wanting to attack Black Iron City? What a naive thought. Jin Fuhua, you’ve developed Peach Blossom Town commendably, and you are talented. Yet, your ideas are ultimately limited due to your lack of experience."

His words were met with bewildered faces. Jin Fuhua, suppressing his emotions, raised his voice, "What exactly are you trying to say?"

Jiang Hai sighed somewhat, saying, "This is like an ant, unable to understand the world of humans, and... the way humans think, Jin Fujihu, do you understand the meaning of my words?"

A trace of anger flashed across Jin Fuhua’s cultured face, but it quickly disappeared, he laughed, "I understand that you think of us as a group of ants and you, Black Iron City, as the world of humans. We are now using the behavior of ants to estimate the thoughts and actions of you humans. Is that correct?"

Jiang Hai laughed, admiring the words: "Excellent, you understand it quite well."

After a brief pause, he said, "Black Iron City has been handed down from generation to generation, and its system has already reached perfection, unlike your small forces and tribes that have come together temporarily. You all have great misunderstandings about Black Iron City. We are not a group of brutal and lawless individuals."

Jiang Hai said with a smile, before turning his gaze again to Su Yu, and jokingly said: "Upon the request of everyone in Black Iron City, I came here, just want to understand the true details of the matter, and by the way, to understand Su Yu, you."

Upon saying this, he paused a little and continued: "Also, on behalf of a certain friend, I bring you his regards. His name is Ouyang Nuo."

Su Yu furrowed his eyebrows, in their imagination, Black Iron City would definitely amass the army and attack Peach Blossom Town, but what they hadn’t expected was that after two days, only one person had shown up, who was rather amiable. What on earth was Black Iron City up to? Could it be as he said - they were already thinking differently from ordinary people after many years of the city’s development?

"Ouyang Nuo... is he really in Black Iron City?" Su Yu couldn’t help but think of Ouyang Nuo, whom he had encountered in the Demon Beast Mountain Range. He remembered Ouyang Nuo’s terrifying Flame Golden Bones. Even up till now, Su Yu was still not confident enough to defeat Ouyang Nuo on strength alone. The only thing he relied on to face Black Iron city was the Demon Divine Beast.

"Yes, not only is the old brother Ouyang in Black Iron City, but he is also the first deputy city lord of Black Iron City. His position is second only to the city lord. The city lord and the old brother Ouyang sent me to see you, Su Yu," continued Jiang Hai after a slight pause.

He goes on: "Su Yu, from ’Freedom Village’, is currently the leader of ’Freedom Village’. The ’Freedom Village’ has a population of about 500 to 600. The actual managers are Qin Jiagui, Ma Ziye, Lei Rui, etc. The name, Su Yu, first attracted attention between November 1st and 2nd last year, in the trial grounds, the Atlantis Ruins. On November 4th, Su Yu fought against Wang Di, causing a sensation. At that time, his strength was estimated to be between high Sixth Order and Peak. On December 15th, Su Yu fought Chen Xuanbai. His strength was estimated to be between Peak Sixth Order and Junior Seventh Order. Currently, the strength is unknown, preliminarily estimated to be between Junior Seventh Order and Middle Order. The specific strength needs to be confirmed further."

The more Jiang Hai spoke, the more startled Su Yu became. His eyes couldn’t help but twitch, staring unblinkingly at Jiang Hai.

Jiang Hai only smiled after saying all this: "After learning of the ’Peach Blossom Town’ incident, we immediately launched an investigation. This investigation was indeed surprising. The purpose of my visit here is to further verify you."

Not only Su Yu was surprised at Jiang Hai’s words, but Jin Fuhua and others were also equally shocked. This "Black Iron City" could investigate so many incidents in just one or two days. Their intelligence system was too formidable. At this moment, Su Yu had a vague premonition of something bad. If they could investigate so much information in such a short time, had they already taken action against ’Freedom Village’? He had told Zhang Zhongmou to notify everyone back then, what’s the situation now?

Originally, Su Yu thought he had taken the initiative, and the people of Black Iron City wouldn’t be able to respond, but now he finally realized how fearsome Black Iron City was and the reach of their intelligence. He feared they far exceeded their imaginations. It might be that there are even spies from Black Iron City among the people behind him.

With that thought, Su Yu’s expression changed slightly, but Jin Fuhua sternly said: "If you know so much, you would clearly also know the details of what happened in Peach Blossom Town the day before yesterday? Since you know it, what else do you want to investigate?"

Jiang Hai smiled slightly and said: "Yes, the moment Miss Lika Xiya appeared, the city lord sensed it, and then, in less than an hour, we gathered all the details that happened at that time... even how each person died at the hands of Su Yu..."

Upon hearing this, everyone’s face changed, Su Yu even got off the "Horned Demon Horse" immediately, shaking all over. If they knew what happened within an hour of him killing Lika Xiya, then. . .they must have taken action. But there has been no anomaly in Peach Blossom Town for two days straight, could it be the people in Freedom Village... The ominous feeling grew even stronger, and Su Yu couldn’t help but raise his voice slightly: "Jiang Hai, what are you trying to say?"

Ada sensed that Su Yu was not calm, the state of mind he had been maintaining, the momentum he had been building, was broken by a few sentences from Jiang Hai.
