ACSP: Chapter 65: If I get serious, this Jinghai City will be razed to the ground in an instant!
"—Boom, boom, boom!"
Almost at the same time Li Dala opened his mouth to say that 'Explode' word.
The few clay birds that were circling around Jiang Chen suddenly flashed with white light and exploded one after another.
The roar of the explosion resounded through the sky, and flames shot into the heavens.
The moment those clay birds exploded, Jiang Chen and City Lord Li Hongfei were swallowed by rolling thick smoke.
"Not good, he placed explosive tags on those puppets."
"City Lord..."
"Jiang Chen..."
"Dad..."
Li Yanran and the people from the City Lord's mansion all changed color and rushed toward the explosion point.
However, at this moment, Li Dala waved his hand indifferently and said: "Don't worry, I controlled the amount of clay. That level of explosion will at most knock them unconscious; they won't die."
Although he looked down on the Contractors here in Jinghai City, he wasn't a fool.
This time, Thunder God Temple had come forward to have them, Puppet City, come together to sign an alliance agreement with City Lord Li Hongfei, also to jointly fight against the Evil God Organization.
If he really killed someone here.
Wouldn't that be equivalent to ruining this three-party alliance?
Hearing Li Dala's words, Li Yanran and the others stopped in their tracks and continued to watch.
After a while.
As the thick smoke and flames gradually dissipated.
A crystal-clear ice sphere appeared in everyone's field of vision.
"What is that? An ice sphere?"
"Could it be that someone used Ice Release Ninjutsu?"
"But I remember that City Lord doesn't have the Ice Release Bloodline Limit."
"But isn't there still Jiang Chen?"
"Jiang Chen? Could it be that he has the Ice Release Bloodline Limit?"
Everyone looked at each other, their faces filled with an expression of utter shock.
Li Yanran and the others, who had previously teamed up with Jiang Chen, widened their eyes in particular.
If someone contracted a dimensional character who possessed a Bloodline Limit.
Then the Bloodline Limit on them would be innate.
It would awaken after the contract ritual was completed.
However, when they were in the secret realm with Jiang Chen before, they had never seen him use the Ice Release Bloodline Limit.
"—Click!"
Just as everyone was astonished, they saw the ice ball suddenly shatter from the inside, layer by layer.
Very quickly.
The figures of Jiang Chen and City Lord Li Hongfei appeared once again in everyone's line of sight.
However, behind City Lord Li Hongfei now stood a yellow-haired man with a single ponytail.
It was his contracted character, Inoichi Yamanaka.
The explosion of those clay birds just now had put immense pressure on him, forcing him to fuse with his contracted character.
"I didn't expect you to have the Ice Release Bloodline Limit!"
City Lord Li Hongfei looked at Jiang Chen with a surprised expression and said.
"Mere Ice Release, nothing worth showing off."
Jiang Chen spoke calmly, then looked up again at Li Dala: "Do you have any other tricks? If not, then I'm going to counterattack."
Upon hearing this, Li Dala's pupils instantly dilated: "Kid, are you saying that you've just been passively defending this whole time, and if you actually attacked, I would lose to you immediately?"
Jiang Chen's tone remained calm: "Do you want to try?"
As the words fell.
His figure turned into a puff of white smoke and disappeared from the spot.
"Shadow Clone? How is that possible..."
Li Dala's expression changed drastically.
However, before he could react.
A familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind him:
"Although your clay puppets have decent attack power, your own strength isn't very good. If you don't fuse with your contracted character, you won't be able to beat me."
Li Dala looked back.
He was surprised to find that Jiang Chen had appeared behind him at some point.
When did this guy get over here?
Li Dala was shocked and hurriedly retreated, wanting to get away from Jiang Chen.
But the next second.
A broad palm rested against his back.
"I said it before, if you don't fuse with your contracted character, you won't be able to beat me."
The familiar voice sounded again.
Li Dala looked to the side.
He saw yet another Jiang Chen standing behind him, looking at him with an amused expression.
Another Shadow Clone?
But when did this guy use the Shadow Clone just now?
Could it be when those clay birds exploded?
Thoughts raced through Li Dala's mind.
Relying on his excellent observational skills, he quickly figured out the timing of Jiang Chen's use of the Shadow Clone.
The clay birds would produce a large amount of smoke and fire at the moment of explosion.
At that moment, everyone's attention would be drawn to the explosion's light.
The opponent must have used the Shadow Clone at that time.
Then, while everyone's attention was focused on the explosion point.
The real body and the other Shadow Clone had quietly sneaked over.
What impressive adaptability.
Is this kid really a newcomer from this batch?
"Forget it, if I fuse with my contracted character and use my full power, your Jinghai City would probably turn into ruins."
Li Dala steadied himself and looked at Jiang Chen with a solemn expression: "Let's reintroduce ourselves. My name is Li Dala, the Grand Protector of Puppet City. My current level is 84. Although my contracted character is an Elite Jonin, I believe his strength is comparable to the Shadow-level."
At this moment, he had completely regarded Jiang Chen as a respectable opponent and put away all his contempt.
"Jiang Chen, level 27."
Facing Li Dala's proactive show of goodwill, Jiang Chen also responded.
He could tell that this Li Dala in front of him wasn't actually bad in nature, just arrogant and a bit conceited.
Because when he fought him earlier, he didn't feel the slightest murderous intent from the other party.
But then again.
If this Li Dala had harbored murderous intent while fighting him just now, the other party wouldn't be standing here right now.
"Level 27? I didn't expect such an incredible person to emerge from a small place like Jinghai City."
Although he already knew in his heart that Jiang Chen's level might not be very high, when the other party said it himself, Li Dala was still severely shocked.
To have such strength at only level 27.
I really don't know how monstrous this guy will be when he reaches max level.
"—Bang!"
"—Bang!"
Just as the two were talking, two dazzling bolts of lightning suddenly descended from the sky, accompanied by rumbles of thunder, and landed straight into the inner courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion.
Everyone looked back.
They saw two burly, middle-aged men with very similar appearances appearing in the courtyard, bathed in the lightning.
The aura emanating from these two was very powerful; just standing there, they gave people a hair-raising feeling, like two ferocious beasts filled with oppression.
And just after these two landed.
Another group of figures with not-so-weak auras suddenly leaped onto the high wall and arrived inside the City Lord's Mansion one after another.
"The people from the Thunder God Temple have arrived."
Li Dala glanced at the two similar-looking middle-aged men, then leaned into Jiang Chen's ear and whispered: "These Lei Li brothers are famous in Hangzhou City for their short tempers. You'd better be polite when you talk to them later. If you want to complain about them, it's best to do it secretly behind their backs, just like me."
