Armor Hero: The Return of the Underworld

Xi Zhao ripped off Mo Fan's mask and breathed a sigh of relief when he discovered that Mo Fan was actually Chou Jiang. At least Mo Fan was "one of their own," and Xi Zhao wouldn't have to suffer any more "physical pain."

Xi Zhao said coldly, and then pushed Mo Fan out.

Mo Fan wasn't angry when he heard Xi Zhao scolding him; instead, he smiled after Xi Zhao released him.

"The me you see may not be the real me."

Mo Fan said with a smile.

After saying this, Mo Fan's face twisted, and he transformed into the form of a Netherworld Demon.

"you!"

Mo Fan startled Xi Zhao, who was about to reach out to take the Golden Shadow Stone chip from his neck.

But just as Xi Zhao's hand touched the chip, Kula emerged from beneath Xi Zhao and punched him in the stomach.

Xi Zhao clutched his stomach and fell to the ground. He tried to grab the necklace around his neck, but Kula beat him to it and stepped on his chest. Xi Zhao was immediately immobilized, and Kula ripped the necklace off his neck. (Please imagine the scene of Yan Di taking the necklace off Xiao Tian's neck.)

"Who are you?"

Xi Zhao glared at Kula and said fiercely.

Based on Xi Zhao's understanding of mutant beasts, the two people in front of him were definitely not the kind of mindless mutant beasts.

Kula ignored him completely and turned to throw the crystal that summoned the Snow Mastiff Armor to Mo Fan.

"Don't rush me, I told you I'm here to be your friend."

Mo Fan took the crystal and smiled as he spoke to Xi Zhao.

You think you're so tough? I'll give you the summoner first, and you're all armored up? Without the summoner, let's see how you protect yourself.

"You're dreaming!"

Xi Zhao felt immense pressure as Kula stepped on him, a pain shooting through his chest. He gritted his teeth and spoke.

"Don't rush to refuse. I know you were captured by King Kai when you were a child, and you've been exploited by him all these years. You'd get a beating if you weren't careful, and you'd be living a life worse than death. How about I take you away from King Kai's control?"

Mo Fan said to Xi Zhao.

"King Realm is the one who raised me, and I will never betray him."

The kindness hidden deep in Xi Zhao's heart wouldn't allow him to do such a treacherous thing.

From the fact that Xi Zhao was willing to sacrifice himself to save Bing'er when he was a child, we can see that Xi Zhao is not as cold as he appears. He also has a kind and gentle heart hidden deep inside.

In contrast, the Orange Brother from Beisanshui was willing to sacrifice his childhood sweetheart and his favorite younger sister for his own life, so Xi Zhao's actions to save a little girl who had no relation to him were even more noble.

It can be seen from the fact that the Light and Shadow Squad rejected Xi Zhao later on. Even though the entire Light and Shadow Squad rejected him, distrusted him, and hurt him, he was still using his actions to uphold the last bit of kindness in this world.

Even if Xi Zhao joined the Shadow Guardians' camp for a period of time, it was because the Shadow Guardians used the lives of ordinary people as a threat. Even though Xi Zhao agreed to help the Shadow Guardians, he was cleaved in two by the Flame Dragon Knight summoned by Zhang Jian.

Is the Snow Mastiff's armor too weak? Obviously not.

Was it because Zhang Jian's Flame Dragon Armor was too powerful? At that time, Zhang Jian had only just learned how to summon the Flame Dragon Armor, so how could it be stronger? Obviously not.

The only explanation is that Xi Zhao chose a compromise, avoiding offending either side.

They saved the lives of ordinary people without harming the Light and Shadow Squad, but Xi Zhao, caught in the middle, was the one who suffered the most.

"Don't be so quick to refuse. Do you believe that if you go back late this time, the King of the Realm will whip you again? Or maybe he won't let you eat for days?"

Mo Fan said with a smile.

"How did you..."

Xi Zhao was shocked once again. How could this person seem to know so much about the Realm King?

Even if he went back now, it would be too late, and King Kai might be looking for him right now. He would definitely get a beating when he got back.

Having lived this long, Xi Zhao had thought about escaping the Realm King before, but he was always caught. Over time, he gave up on the idea, or rather, he dared not have the idea anymore.

No wonder Xi Zhao is always found when he tries to escape; King Kai is an outstanding scientist—Dr. Cullen, who might not even be as capable as Dr. Garu.

Like that unique summoning device developed by ERP, which Xi Zhao had with him from the moment he appeared. Who developed that? The Realm King, of course.

Therefore, King Kai's scientific research level is definitely no lower than ERP's.

Do you think that summoner is just a summoner? That's a simplistic view. That summoner definitely has a tracking system inside.

Moreover, there might not even be many tracking devices on Xi Zhao's body.

"Don't rush. As I said, I'm here to make friends, and I believe we will definitely be friends in the future."

"If you're willing, I can take you away right away, or I can take Bing'er away. How about it? You can think about it. Once you've thought it through, you can come find me. Right now, I am Chou Jiang, and Chou Jiang is me. You should know where to find Chou Jiang, right?"

Mo Fan transformed back into his ugly form and said.

"Here, take the chip back. Oh, by the way, you'll probably need this."

Mo Fan tossed the summoner to Xi Zhao again, and then took out a hundred yuan from his pocket and tossed it to Xi Zhao as well.

Mo Fan knew that the old man, Jie Wang, would never give Xi Zhao pocket money. Besides, Xi Zhao liked to play ball, and when playing ball, he would definitely get hungry and thirsty. He couldn't let Kun Zhong drink on the side while he watched, could he?

Moreover, the King of the Realm often starves Xi Zhao, not only without giving him money, but sometimes even without food. You can tell from how thin Xi Zhao is, like a monkey, that Xi Zhao will definitely need this money.

"Bye-bye, Roshizhao. Let's go."

After saying that, Mo Fan and Kula disappeared on the spot, and Xi Zhao finally got up.

Xi Zhao was indeed moved by what Mo Fan just said, not because he ran away, but because Mo Fan said he could also take Bing'er with him.

Over the years, Xi Zhao had come to regard Bing'er as his own sister. When he was a child, he had dreamed more than once that he would escape from the clutches of the Realm King with Bing'er and happily find a foster family willing to take them in, living a happy life together. But the Realm King would whip him back to reality again and again...

"I am back."

Xi Zhao entered the room and walked cautiously to the King of the Realm.

"You finally decided to come back? What have you been doing?!"

"King of the Realm rebuked," the King of the Realm said.

"I, I... I was hit by a car on my way back."

Xi Zhao hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not reveal Mo Fan's matter.

"You got hit by a car? Why didn't you get hit and killed? You're so old and haven't grown up at all, you deserve a beating!"

King Jie loudly reprimanded Xi Zhao.

"Ah! Ah!"

Not satisfied with just reprimanding him, King Kai stretched out his right hand, which was equipped with a mechanical arm, pulled out a whip, and lashed it at Xi Zhao. Xi Zhao fell to the ground in pain, curled up into a "ball," and cried out in agony.

Xi Zhao was raised this way since he was a child, so much so that he doesn't dare to rebel against the Realm King now. He does whatever the Realm King says. He has been trained. It's not that he doesn't dare to rebel, but that he doesn't even have the thought of rebelling against the Realm King. That's more terrifying than not daring to rebel.

Bing'er sat in the chair in the room with her eyes closed, listening with heartache to Xi Zhao's wails...
