The noise in the banquet hall first came from two directions.
One source was the rooftop, where the suddenly collapsing reinforced concrete sent shards flying like cannonballs randomly striking the humans below. Among the debris were several assassins dressed in camouflage, each armed and launching attacks at different targets.
The other source was the red wine that Guangyao had thrown. The crimson liquid transformed into a small snake of red ice the moment it splashed out of the glass, writhing and stretching its body as it flicked its tongue at the person who had just insulted its master.
The sudden emergence of these two incidents opened the curtain on the chaos of Cloud Port.
"Who are you?!"
"Kill!"
The concrete floor could not hinder the capabilities of high-level evolvers. The instant the rooftop exploded, Ye Zhongming pulled Liang Chuyin back.
Before he understood the situation, he couldn't act rashly; he needed to confirm whether everything happening was advantageous to him.
Zhao Xingmei and Bai Feng also retreated. They were considered top figures in Ying City, but after coming out, they realized there were too many survivors of equal rank, so it was better to follow Ye Zhongming.
There were indeed others who could react as quickly as Ye Zhongming, but they were few. Most of the assassins that jumped down found their targets.
The moment these people acted, Ye Zhongming's eyes widened slightly.
Nine individuals, all with assassin-type professions!
In the entire Cloud Summit Villa, including Xia Bai, there were only two of this type of profession. What kind of person could gather so many practitioners of this form together?
And they were powerful!
Puff!
As one of the five giants of the Cloud Port Alliance, Lanen let out a muffled grunt and fell back, his two subordinates shocked and instinctively reaching out to support him. But with a flash of cold light, a figure wielding dual daggers appeared behind them, effortlessly plunging two white-level daggers into their backs.
Blood spilled from their mouths, and their eyes, filled with horror and fear, gradually lost their light as they collapsed beside their boss.
The short assassin struck with precision and had no intention of lingering. He moved swiftly, darting back through the large hole in the top floor and disappearing.
In just a few seconds, he had killed three people—one five-star evolver and two four-star evolvers—such a scenario frightened many, making their limbs go weak.
Ye Zhongming was also surprised. He believed he could achieve that level, but that was based on his luxurious equipment and strength exceeding six-star.
However, this assassin-type professional managed to do the same using their professional skills and surprise attacks, raising Ye Zhongming’s understanding of the strength of assassins to a new level.
At the same time, the person who had reprimanded Guangyao did not escape the disaster. The red ice crystal struck his face before he could react, spreading and turning him into an ice sculpture within seconds.
"Cloud Port is now occupied by the Heavenly Phenomenon War Department. Everyone must obey its orders; those who resist will die!"
A halo of light flickered around Guangyao as black battle armor with red patterns appeared on him. This exquisite protective gear glimmered with silver light, dazzling just like the silver spear he held.
The man and woman following him underwent a remarkably similar transformation, with the man's armor black with red and the woman's red with black, their weapons matching their armor, although their equipment was only white-level, one level below Guangyao's.
Their six subordinates also moved, donning gray-level equipment.
"Rong Clan Holy Armor?!"
Ye Zhongming felt a surge of battle intent rise within him, not towards the people, but towards these pieces of equipment.
This caused the three individuals beside him to show expressions of surprise.
In his past life, the term "Rong Clan Holy Armor" was quite famous. These four characters carried an almost magical allure. In fact, without magic crystal weapons or Le Da Yuan, they were the pinnacle of human ingenuity.
