Armor: I support Meizhen, my emperor is doing evil.

What is the meaning of the word "baby"?

They didn't even get to let out a final scream before their bodies collapsed and disintegrated.

It turned into two thick black smokes, dissipating and twisting in the air.

Eventually, it condensed into two chaotic balls of genetic codes that flashed with unstable light, floating in the air, and then completely dissipated.

[Ding, the host killed the Nether Demon Salman, and the blood concentration of the random five elements increased by 1%! ]

[Ding, the host killed the Nether Demon Bakt, and the blood concentration of the random five elements increased by 1%! ]

[Ding, host's energy strength +2%! Current energy strength: 1240%!] 30

[Ding, the host unlocks a new bloodline talent: Light and Shadow Purification! Bloodline Resonance! Imperial Status!]

Almost at the same time when the two Netherworld Demons completely dissipated, the familiar prompt sound of the system sounded in Su Chen's mind.

The boost in energy brought a subtle sense of comfort.

But Su Chen was not in a relaxed mood at the moment.

At this point, the battle caused by the three demons of Kufens has come to an end.

Of the three Netherworld demons, two were killed on the spot, and one was seriously injured and rescued by the mysterious ancient beast Taowu.

However, the enemy was not completely wiped out, but instead attracted a more powerful existence.

Xu Tingfei was seriously injured and his life or death is uncertain.

What he cares about most is his kidnapped parents, whose whereabouts are still unknown and there is no clue.

Su Chen slowly put away the Jueying Whirlwind Blade and looked in the direction where Taowu and Kufens disappeared, his eyes deep.

"The four ancient beasts have appeared. It seems that the Shadow Emperor is about to revive..."

He murmured something that no one could hear.

The air seemed to still linger with the wild and cold aura of Taowu, but Su Chen was full of anticipation.

Only a truly powerful enemy can arouse his desire to fight!

It’s time for the Emperor’s Armor to reappear in the world!

No matter who the enemy is, no matter how powerful and cunning they are, if they dare to come, they will be killed!

Qing Zizai looked at Su Chen's tall back with complicated eyes.

The shock in his heart was like a raging sea, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

Speaking of which, he has lived for so many years and claims to be knowledgeable. He has also dealt with the Netherworld Demon and knows how difficult and strange it is.

However, the battle just now completely overturned his cognition.

Kufens, a captain-level figure of the Netherworld Demon Captain, was as vulnerable as a chicken and a dog in front of Su Chen!

Especially the last earth-shattering blow, which was so fast that even he couldn't catch its trajectory.

In just a moment, the two Netherworld Demons that were catalyzed by the secret technique were completely annihilated.

What frightened him even more was the sudden appearance of the ancient ferocious beast Taowu!

That wild, violent breath that could freeze the soul.

Just sensing it from a distance made his heart palpitate.

However, facing such a terrifying existence, Su Chen not only did not retreat at all, but his murderous intent became even stronger.

This forced ferocious beasts like Taowu to teleport away.

He even took Kufens, a burden, with him.

"This...is this really a power that the younger generation can possess?"

Qing Zizai muttered to himself.

He watched Su Chen put away his knife and stand.

He was so calm and composed, as if what he had just experienced was just a trivial episode, not a life-and-death struggle.

He even saw a hint of...expectation in Su Chen's eyes?

Expectation for a stronger enemy?

What is the limit of this young man?

"Cough cough..."

A violent cough interrupted Qing Zizai's thoughts.

He suddenly came back to his senses and looked at the source of the voice - Xu Tingfei.

At this moment, Xu Tingfei's face was as pale as paper, with blood at the corner of his mouth, and his chest heaving violently.

It was obvious that he had suffered serious internal injuries from Taowu's sneak attack just now.

He struggled to stand up, but he was too weak to stand up and fell down again.

Su Chen turned around, his eyes fell on Xu Tingfei, and his brows frowned slightly.

"He's seriously injured."

He spoke calmly, without much emotion in his tone, but his actions were swift.

He walked a few steps to Xu Tingfei, squatted down, and slowly injected a gentle energy that contained tremendous vitality into him.

This is his special ability as a descendant of the emperor, unlocked after practicing mental energy!

Xu Tingfei only felt a warm current flowing into his body.

The churning blood and severe pain eased a little, and breathing became smoother.

"Thank you very much..."

He spoke with difficulty, looking at Su Chen with a complicated look.

There is gratitude, shame, and a deep sense of frustration.

"Don't talk yet, save your energy."

Su Chen interrupted him and looked at Qing Zizai.

"Qing Zizai, this is not a place to stay for long. We must send him to the hospital as soon as possible."

"Yes, yes, yes! Hospital!"

Qing Zizai woke up as if from a dream, hurried forward, and together with Su Chen, carefully helped Xu Tingfei up.

"Xiao Fei, hold on!"

The three of them quickly headed straight for the hospital, which was nearby.

In the hospital, after some emergency examination and treatment, Xu Tingfei was admitted to the ward.

The doctor told me that although the injury looked serious, the internal organs were also shaken.

Fortunately, as an Armor Warrior, Xu Tingfei has a strong physique and is not in danger of life. He just needs to rest for a while.

Qing Zizai and Su Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Tingfei was lying on the hospital bed.

Although the pain in my body has eased, the gloom in my heart has become heavier.

He looked at the ceiling with empty eyes, full of loneliness and anxiety.

"My parents...how are they doing? There's no news at all..."

Kufens was rescued, which means that the mastermind behind the kidnapping of his parents has not given up.

The thought that my parents might still be suffering, or even...

Xu Tingfei's heart felt like it was being tightly grasped by an invisible big hand, and it hurt so much that he couldn't breathe.

Qing Zizai stood beside the bed.

Seeing Xu Tingfei's distraught look, he also looked worried and sighed, but didn't know how to comfort him.

He has lived an upright life and is used to fighting straightforwardly.

He also felt helpless and angry about this despicable tactic involving hostages.

At this moment, Su Chen, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke.

His voice was still calm, but with a clarity that pierced through the fog.

"The enemy went to great lengths to rescue the seriously injured Kufens. This proves that they are from the same group and that Kufens is still useful to them."

Qing Zizai and Xu Tingfei both raised their heads and looked at Su Chen in confusion.

Su Chen continued his analysis, his tone devoid of any emotion, as if he was stating an objective fact.

"Since they need Kufens, then the people Kufens cares about are also a potential trouble or... bargaining chip for them."

He paused, his eyes scanning the two of them.

"From what I know, Kufens' girlfriend, the girl Qiao Shefei mentioned earlier, seems to work in this hospital."

"What?"

Zizai was stunned and for a moment he failed to react to the deeper meaning of Su Chen's words.

Xu Tingfei was also stunned, and then a hint of astonishment flashed in his eyes.

He vaguely understood what Su Chen meant, but found it hard to believe.

"You mean... to use Kufens' girlfriend... to contain them?"

"hostage?"

Qing Zizai finally understood. He widened his eyes and retorted almost subconsciously.

"This... How can this be allowed? We are on the side of justice, how can we resort to such means? What's the difference between us and those Netherworld Demons?"

Xu Tingfei's heart was also in turmoil.

Su Chen’s proposal is undoubtedly shady, and can even be said to be "black"!

This completely overturned his understanding of the "Justice Partners"' style of doing things.

but……

He had to admit.

If this were really done, his parents' safety would seem to have an invisible layer of protection!

As long as the other party still cares about the safety of Kufens' girlfriend, he will not dare to kill his parents easily!

The thought made him feel conflicted and ashamed.

However, his extreme concern for his parents' safety prevented him from completely rejecting the proposal.

Looking at the shocked and tangled expressions of the two, Su Chen remained calm and said calmly:

"A gentleman judges actions, not hearts. No one is perfect in the world. We're not going to threaten anyone with the life of an innocent girl. That's something only a Netherworld Demon would do."

His voice was calm but carried an undeniable power.

"However, we must let the enemy know that we hold the leverage they need to act with caution! Let them understand that if they dare harm the hostages, we are equally capable of making them pay a heavy price! This is a deterrent, a balance. We can choose not to act despicably, but we cannot be without the means and trump cards to check and balance the enemy."

Su Chen's words were like a bolt of lightning that split the inherent ideas in Qing Zizai and Xu Tingfei's minds.

Qing Zizai fell silent.

He has always adhered to the right path throughout his life, but Su Chen's words made him unable to refute.

Yes, facing a cunning and cruel enemy.

Blindly sticking to the so-called "uprightness" will sometimes tie your own hands and feet, making your loved ones sad and your enemies happy.

Having chips doesn't mean you have to use them.

But possession itself is a kind of power.

Xu Tingfei was even more deeply touched.
