The death of Liao Chong silenced the entire room for a moment.
This was, of course, just an illusion, but to the members of the zero commerce association, time seemed to stand still at that moment.
Among the several major guards under the Demon Gold Sacred Seat, Liao Chong had been with the sacred seat the longest and was the strongest. Many believed that if the position of the sacred seat were to increase in the future, Liao Chong was one of the few most likely candidates to become the tenth sacred seat.
But now, he had been cleaved in half by someone.
Since the establishment of the zero commerce association, there had been deaths in their conflicts with others, but being cut in half without any chance to fight back was a first.
This was no longer just a simple death; it was a provocation against the authority of the zero commerce association.
The young man who had just divulged the zero commerce association's secrets had killed Boss Liao Chong with a single stroke.
“Liao Chong!”
Demon Gold let out a piercing roar, his hands transforming into a meat grinder that sent Bai Feng, who was utterly defenseless and had his chest crushed, flying. With Demon Gold’s departure, this top figure of Ying City collapsed, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
At this moment, the elites of Ying City began their counterattack.
Initially, they were not accustomed to the fierce tactics of the zero commerce association, caught off guard by the sudden assault, and each had their own ulterior motives.
However, when they realized that these Black-Clad Warriors would not hold back, it became clear that although they would not take their lives unless absolutely necessary, they were indifferent to whether the elites were left maimed. Many were left with severed arms and legs.
Everyone recalled the young man's words and understood that what the zero commerce association cared about was whether they were still alive, not whether they lived in completeness.
Thus, the elites of Ying City began to fight back desperately. They were already the strongest group in the city, walking on the edge of life and death every day. When they unleashed their fury, their combat power was astonishing.
Moreover, these individuals held no reservations. They fought to kill, while the zero commerce association's Black-Clad Warriors, who were instructed to avoid killing whenever possible, became somewhat hesitant, slowly shifting the tide of battle.
However, this did not mean victory for the elites of Ying City. They remained at a disadvantage, still suffering casualties from the well-coordinated attacks of the zero commerce association's warriors. If this situation continued, they might kill several Black-Clad Warriors, but it was inevitable that they would all be captured.
It was only when Ye Zhongming intervened and killed Liao Chong that the situation changed somewhat.
Many people noticed that the determination in the eyes of the Black-Clad Warriors had weakened a fraction. They may have realized that this was not a battle they could definitely win.
On the other side, Ye Zhongming and Demon Gold clashed without any fancy moves.
The former whistled while the latter roared in anger.
Even though Ye Zhongming had not been able to use his knife due to Demon Gold's speed and had to fight unarmed, the two were evenly matched.
Of course, Ye Zhongming's hand was shredded by the meat grinder, but this only reinforced his confidence.
Demon Gold was nothing more than this!
The Bloodstained Battle Boots stepped on the blood flowing from Liao Chong's corpse.
Ye Zhongming gripped his knife with both hands, as if his injured hand was not his own.
Demon Gold panted, his eyes filled with frenzied hatred.
Liao Chong was a high-end warrior of the zero commerce association. Cultivating such an individual required an enormous amount of resources. Dozens of people had to feed zombies to allow an ordinary zombie to evolve, and then feed a dozen one-star evolvers to allow that zombie to reach three-star.
This process had to be repeated dozens or even hundreds of times to cultivate one Liao Chong!
