Yet the Wind and Fire Wheel had already dissipated, and Wan Kai was nowhere to be seen.
"Co on! Why are you running?"
"Why aren’t you using the overclock, do you look down on ?"
Fujihara Tomohiro was roaring; he had lost an eye, pus and blood were oozing all over his body, and his bone armor was badly damaged. Seeing Wan Kai had fled, he was extrely irritated.
What made him even more infuriated was that despite going all out and being prepared to fight to the death, Wan Kai didn’t use any special tactics at all—not even overclocking—relying solely on substitutes and his Combat Body, always acting defensively from start to finish.
What the hell did that an? And to top it off, the opponent even had hidden escape techniques. After landing a successful hit, taking advantage of the large range of the Biological Field, he left a substitute behind to cover his escape and slipped away himself.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!"
Sivina landed beside him, carrying Luo Yi.
Two Elephant Levels quickly arrived as well: "Tigerhead Shark, brother, you’re mighty, having managed to drive away a True Dragon!"
Sivina sneered, "That’s laughable. The guy didn’t even use his best moves; he didn’t plan to fight at all."
Fujihara Tomohiro paid her no mind, promptly discontinuing his seven-stage overclock, ate sothing offhand, and said coldly, "Luo Yi, what is the aning of this from Tangren City?"
"One True Dragon, two Elephant Levels, and two Tiger Kings!"
"You’ve killed Yakuzas; it’s a declaration of war against Sea King Port!"
Luo Yi frowned, "You’ve misunderstood! Although Wan Kai is from Tangren City, he already defected seven years ago..."
"Defected?" Fujihara Tomohiro was startled.
Suddenly he rembered this person.
"Right, wasn’t Wan Kai the right-hand man of Tangren City’s first City Lord, Gao Long? The forr commander of the Dragon Guards?"
Everyone was staring at Luo Yi.
Luo Yi said gravely, "Yes, Wan Kai was also the only survivor who escaped from the Vermilion Bird Gate incident seven years ago."
"So you should be aware, if this person is Wan Kai, then he is no longer the dark hand of Tangren City."
"Tangren City still has an arrest warrant out for him to this day; we are also looking for him..."
The crowd had a stern expression. The Vermilion Bird Gate incident had been a significant event at the ti.
It occurred during the third global summit battle, when the three major kingdoms were already in a chaotic war, with the Evil Dragon Kingdom allied with Eden Garden, besieging Milan Order.
As the war reached an intense stage, everyone was at a loss about how to conclude it, a coup d’état suddenly erupted in Tangren City.
Sword Saint Lv Zhao eliminated the entire family of the first City Lord and seized power.
He was also the right-hand man of the first City Lord and even the Deputy City Lord. The two of them had been comrades from the beginning of their arrival on the island, absolutely loyal to each other.
Gao Long and Lv Zhao were both legendary figures; it can be said that Tangren City was established by the two of them together.
Both of them attracted and persuaded many powerful people to join them, and coupled with the large population of Han people on the island, once Tangren City was established, it gained imnse power.
If it weren’t for the fact that they were still inexperienced during the first battle to determine the Dragon King and got outmaneuvered by Milan, failing to get a good ranking, theoretically, they should have been one of the three states, or perhaps today there would stand a setup of four powers in balance.
Even so, over the course of more than a decade, they were the leading city of the nine with, at their peak, twenty-eight Dragons and one hundred and seventy-two Elephants.
In total, two hundred Dragon and Elephant Levels—how terrifying is that?
Not to ntion there were many potential rising stars. Thus, each global summit battle was essentially two countries ganging up on the Milan Order because with the presence of Tangren City, the top-end combat power was equivalent to two countries fighting two countries.
As a result of the coup, the strong powers of Tangren City were halved, and coupled with losses from the war, only thirteen Dragon-levels remained.
Of course, even so, Tangren City still ranked in the upper realms among the nine cities.
It’s just that the glorious days of its forr peak would never return.
Many people couldn’t understand how such a thing could happen, and there were various explanations.
So say that Lv Zhao wanted to be the City Lord; after all, his power was imnse, with half of Tangren City’s forces his own, essentially a sub-power within the city, a city within the city. Gao Long did not restrain him but instead gave him trendous trust, affording him various privileges. Tangren City was practically governed by two City Lords, which could lead anyone to beco power-hungry.
Others argue that Lv Zhao was targeted and beca suspicious of Gao Long’s eldest son, plus the basis of Tangren City was half his own making. But while Gao Long beca the City Lord, he was reduced to a subordinate. Unwilling to stomach such treatnt, Lv Zhao rebelled.
There’s also speculation that this turmoil was a sche by Tyrant Caesar and Island Master Adam; at the ti they were besieging the Milan Order, so to dissolve Milan’s biggest ally, Tangren City, they used so thod to sow discord between the two brothers, leading to the internal strife within Tangren City.
So even suggest that it was a conspiracy by Milan... Tangren City was too great a threat, and during the third war, it already had thoughts of taking the opportunity to establish its own country, no longer heeding her commands. So, she covertly supported Lv Zhao to replace Gao Long.
In any case, there are many theories, and the true reason behind it remains a mystery to this day.
Of course, Lv Zhao had his own version, and the official explanation now made public by Tangren City is that Gao Long was overly ambitious, harboring intentions to annex the entire island. He aid to take the third global summit battle to the end, even preparing 1,624 hydrogen bombs to scorch the land and rebuild the entire island’s order in case of defeat.
Lv Zhao, after trying in vain to dissuade him, had to stage the coup to end the third global summit battle and took over Tangren City.
And indeed, it was after this incident that Lv Zhao proclaid Tangren City’s withdrawal from the summit battle.
This move indirectly led to the end of the third global summit battle.
Because Tangren City was the strongest of the nine cities at the ti, second only to the three major states, it was their involvent that allowed Milan Order to withstand the attacks from the other two major states simultaneously.
After Tangren City’s withdrawal, Milan could no longer hold out on its own and ultimately chose to negotiate peace.
