“Zong Si!”
Suddenly, a loud shout rang out. A middle-aged man walked in from the doorway, striding towards Zong Si with a fierce expression.
“Father…”
Zong Si jumped in surprise and quickly stood up.
“Don't you know how worried I was about you? It's one thing if you're just slacking off in a place like this, but what I'm most worried about is that your swordsmanship has been developing in the wrong direction lately!”
Zong Si grumbled, “You always say that, Father.”
“I don't know where you learned it from, but your swordsmanship is like a savage beast! Come home!”
The middle-aged man pulled out a large bill and slapped it onto the table with a “啪.”
“That's for the meal. No need for change!”
With that, the middle-aged man grabbed Zong Si and walked out.
After they left, Amy Ketsuki was still caught off guard.
“So scary…”
Now she understood why Zong Si wasn't smiling.
With a father like that, who could smile?
“Let's go, follow them.”
Huangfu Ye stood up.
“Why?”
“Something’s bound to happen, so just follow them. Come on, come on.”
Huangfu Ye naturally took Amy Ketsuki's hand and headed for the door.
Amy Ketsuki froze, looking at her hand being held by Huangfu Ye in surprise.
This guy… he's holding her hand…?!
Suddenly, her heart started to beat faster.
Should she resist?
He probably wasn't doing it on purpose, right?
Yes, he probably wasn't doing it on purpose.
Thinking about it, Amy Ketsuki didn't mind. It was just holding hands, she wasn't losing anything.
On the street not far from their restaurant.
“I'm imprisoning you all! Hahahaha…!”
A strange creature shot out beams of light, and those hit by the beams all shrank in size and were sucked into the small prison on his shoulder.
“Taking away these strong men's freedom, making them angry, transmitting their emotions, the Lord of the Dead will be very happy, hahaha…!”
This creature was a monster created by Doko Do, the Fury Rider.
He was here to absorb human emotions of anger.
The monster walked forward recklessly, sucking anyone he saw into the prison.
As the monster walked, he happened to encounter Huangfu Ye and Amy Ketsuki, who had just come out.
“It’s the Army of the Dead!”
Amy Ketsuki was astonished.
What surprised her wasn't the Army of the Dead, but the fact that Huangfu Ye seemed to know that the Army of the Dead was going to appear!
Could this guy see into the future?!
“Should we intervene?” Amy Ketsuki asked.
“Not yet, let's see what happens,” Huangfu Ye replied.
They were at the back. In front of them were Zong Si and his father.
“Yo, come into my little prison, human!”
A beam of light shot out from the monster’s palm. Zong Si's father stepped forward, drew his sword, and cut the beam of light in two with a single strike.
“Oh? You seem to be a bit tough, human. If that’s the case, then come out, my minions!”
With a roar from the monster, more than ten mooks appeared around him.
“I'll help too!”
Zong Si was about to rush forward, but his father stopped him with his sword, “Your pathetic skills, stand back. I’ll show you what true swordsmanship is!”
Zong Si's father gripped his sword with both hands, assuming a stance, looking like a master.
The monsters charged. The middle-aged man met them head-on and fought with a group of them.
Huangfu Ye and Amy Ketsuki watched from afar.
“Should we really not intervene?”
“No need to rush. His son isn’t even tense, why should we be? It’s not time yet.”
Zong Si's father's combat power was indeed not weak. He faced more than ten monsters without falling behind.
But he had overlooked one person, the monster who could suck people into the prison.
While Zong Si's father was busy dealing with the attacks of the mooks, the monster suddenly shot a beam of light, hitting him directly. His body quickly shrank and was sucked into the prison on the monster's shoulder.
“Father!”
Zong Si exclaimed.
Zong Si quickly transformed into Strong Dragon Green and rushed forward to fight the mooks.
“Ye…?”
Amy Ketsuki asked Huangfu Ye again.
“Let's do it.”
“Okay!”
Amy Ketsuki transformed into Strong Dragon Pink first and rushed forward.
“He was sucked in so quickly, he really can’t take a hit,”
Huangfu Ye murmured.
He thought Zong Si's father was some kind of top-tier expert, but he only lasted three seconds.
“Transform.”
Huangfu Ye also transformed into the 豪快 Red Warrior and rushed forward to join the battle.
On the roof of a nearby building, a monster with a lion-like face was looking down at the battlefield below.
This monster was Doko Do, the Fury Rider.
“So these are the Strong Dragons, how infuriating!”
Next to him was another pink monster, the Joy Rider, Kari Rei.
“That red one isn't a Strong Dragon, but he does look similar. He’s the one who beat the Ice Age Dead Beast.”
“Humph! To me, they are just ants. No need for me to make a move, the Prison Dead Beast can take care of them all!”
“Don’t get ahead of yourself, Doko Do, I don’t think so, hehe…”
The Joy Rider, Kari Rei, covered her mouth and chuckled.
