133 Chapter - One Man Destroys A City
The next second, Scarlet Flame's entire body ignited with fire.
Then, he suddenly blasted upwards, leaping into the air, his whole body enveloped in hellfire, and swiftly flew towards the Infinite City atop the mountain.
However, the Forerunners on the city walls showed no reaction, even displaying a hint of disdain.
"Freedom City's defensive barrier is constructed from the energy of crimson-black rock. Does this guy really think he can break it alone?"
"A mere clown!"
In their minds, Freedom City possessed such a powerful barrier that they wouldn't need to engage in close combat with the invaders.
This system mission was clearly just a small trial, like the previous ones, and the actual danger was, as always, not high.
So, while these Forerunners took the mission seriously, they didn't really put their hearts into it.
Ultimately, they were only assisting the Freemen in defending against the invaders' attacks, not acting as the main force.
But among them, only one person's eyes flickered with surprise. He stood in a corner, gazing at the base of the city wall, muttering to himself.
"Bai Cheng actually came."
"Freedom City's barrier can't be breached from the outside, and there are outsiders within the city..." Wang Shuai frowned, "I must find a way to disable the barrier from the inside and also relay this important information to Bai Cheng..."
But before he could finish speaking, Scarlet Flame had already leaped into the air outside the city at an incredibly fast speed.
At this moment, his height was almost level with the city wall, and he met Wang Shuai's astonished gaze.
"What is Bai Cheng's employee trying to do?" He guessed at a possibility he himself dared not believe, "Could it be..."
"Oh, this girl is too reckless!"
The next second, Scarlet Flame, suspended in mid-air with his body burning with flames, suddenly expanded.
He raised his right hand, and the flames from his lower body acted like thrusters. After condensing a massive crimson fiery fist, he fiercely slammed it towards the city wall's barrier!
Boom—!
The moment the flames made contact with the city barrier, they instantly exploded, scattering fire everywhere. The terrifying impact even caused the entire city to tremble.
For a moment, the Forerunners on the city wall also staggered.
They looked at the barrier in front of them in disbelief, all turning pale with shock.
"This terrifying destructive power... Are you kidding me!"
"The ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ barrier won't hold, will it...?" Someone took a step back in fear, but was immediately rebuked by the person next to him.
"Nonsense! This is a War General-level barrier, War General-level! Do you know what a War General is?!"
"Do you think the enemy attacking from outside could be a War General?"
Suddenly, a cracking sound echoed.
Crack—
All the Forerunners froze in place. The person who had been scolding others turned back stiffly, seeing the most incredible thing of his life.
The others were even more terrified, falling to the ground, their hearts completely engulfed by fear.
The crimson barrier suddenly shattered, and an endless sea of fire, carrying intense heat, instantly surged in and swept across the entire city wall.
Then, Scarlet Flame landed steadily, but he did not hesitate. Almost instantly, he transformed into flames again, attacking all the Forerunners stationed on the city wall.
As the most outstanding among the thousands in their channel, their reactions were not slow. Although some were stunned by fear, more immediately organized their employees or manipulated nearby weapons to launch a counterattack.
Formless specters, undead skeletons, three-meter-tall treants, and those small, green, ugly creatures—the Forerunners' employees were diverse.
They all unleashed their respective skills, launching a full-force attack towards the sea of fire before them.
However, Scarlet Flame made no attempt to defend himself, allowing the attacks to pass through his body. The flames then surged, instantly completing his repair.
As for the charged ballistas, he simply waved his hand and easily shattered them.
Then, the hellfire surrounding Scarlet Flame, capable of incinerating everything, instantly spread.
"Ah!"
"Help, I don't want to die!"
"I'm not doing the mission anymore, I want to go back, Mom!"
For a moment, the city wall was filled with wails.
They used every method they could, but they couldn't inflict even a tiny bit of damage on this monster before them.
Scarlet Flame's immense strength simply filled them with despair.
"Why are the invaders so strong? This is simply unbeatable!"
"Quickly go to the main hall in the city and summon the Freedom City Lord!"
The city wall was already a sea of fire, but one area in the corner remained unscathed.
At this moment, Wang Shuai was slumped against the city wall, his eyes filled with nothing but fear and shock.
"I, I'm no good!"
He had never imagined that Bai Cheng's strength would be so formidable.
At this moment, Wang Shuai truly understood the confidence Bai Cheng had to dare to attack Infinite City alone.
"It's hard to imagine I almost became an enemy of someone like this..."
His area was the only safe zone. This was certainly not luck; he knew that Bai Cheng's employee had recognized him, which was why he hadn't been mercilessly killed.
"So, thank your luck well."
A clear and pleasant female voice suddenly came from the city wall. This familiar feeling immediately made Wang Shuai turn around.
Three women, one man, and a strange bird. The leader was none other than Bai Cheng, whom he had just met a few days ago.
"I have important information!" Wang Shuai said anxiously before even getting up.
"Eh?" Yu Nian also showed a hint of confusion upon seeing him again, "Didn't my Xiao Cheng tell you not to come? Why did you still run to Infinite City?"
Leng Ningxue was even more surprised that the two actually knew a Survivor from another channel.
"Bai Cheng, he is..."
"Oh, we met by chance," Bai Cheng explained, then looked back at Wang Shuai, "What information do you have?"
"There are outsiders in this city!" he immediately said, "And I also heard a rumor that Freedom City... Infinite City's defensive barrier was built by them!"
"Outsiders?" Bai Cheng was a bit confused, "What new term is this?"
Wang Shuai quickly shook his head: "Not a term, they are creatures from the native world."
Upon hearing this, their eyes narrowed. They hadn't expected that the Infinite Marauders in the city would have some kind of dealings with the native creatures of this world.
After asking for some more details, Bai Cheng silently noted the matter.
At the same time, she also learned some information about the city from Wang Shuai, such as there being no ordinary citizens here, only Infinite Marauders.
This meant she could act without restraint, not having to worry about accidentally harming innocent people, and could even directly destroy the city.
Bai Cheng only gave Wang Shuai one final instruction.
"Hurry up and leave here. The Forerunners in your channel are destined to be my enemies. I won't let them go."
Wang Shuai nodded, but a bitter expression appeared on his face: "You truly are a monster. It seems I also need to find a way to become a Freeman to survive."
The two channels were destined to be opposed. With Bai Cheng around, he simply couldn't develop, so perhaps this was the best choice.
After Wang Shuai left, Scarlet Flame had completely cleared the obstacles on the city wall.
Not a single Forerunner dared to oppose him anymore. They were all scared witless, and even those stationed on other sections of the city wall began to flee in all directions.
Bai Cheng glanced, then withdrew her gaze, and said:
"Let's go, we're entering the city."
