Become a legend in the interstellar

Chapter 204

In A Tale of Two Cities, Dickens wrote:

"It was the best of times and the worst of times..."

"...people have everything, people have nothing..."

"...people are walking on the road to heaven, people are walking towards the gates of hell."

This seems to apply to every era, and to everyone.

On this planet, the post-war order has not yet stabilized. Opportunities are everywhere, wealth is everywhere, and there are psychic powers to enhance strength, medicines to improve physical fitness, and many terminal illnesses are no longer a problem, and even the road to mechanical immortality is a must. Got through.

For some, this is the best of times.

But for the people living here in the slums, this era could not have been worse, even if there was another war, it would not be much worse.

The light of the era cannot shine on everyone, but the evil of the era will try every means to overwhelm everyone.

"Snapped!"

Su Xia covered the two iron boxes and used her abilities.

The two boxes were sent in by him through the narrow window and slowly flew to Liu Hongying's bedside.

A dazed look appeared on the woman's face, she stretched out her thin hand, and opened the first box.

When she saw the bundles of cash in the box, her hands trembled and she hurriedly turned to look out the window, but there was no one outside the window.

She opened another box and saw the six potions and the few words Su Xia left behind.

"Life will always get better..."

It was just a few simple words, but her eyes turned red, she covered her mouth, leaned against the bed, and tears flowed silently down the corners of her eyes.

Su Xia has gone far.

Before leaving, he used a thin iron needle to silently get rid of a few wicked people around.

In this area created by suffering, he couldn't do much, and he was powerless in many things.

There are many media people in Fishscale City who always like to come to this kind of place to collect information, and then go back to publicize it, praising the people here for their strong life in the midst of suffering.

But suffering is not worthy of praise, because there should not be suffering in this world.

If you were born to suffer, what is the point of coming into this world?
It was already ten o'clock in the morning.

Su Xia walked out of the slum and walked back to the old town, intending to go back and tell Xue Lie about his apprentice.

But he didn't go very far when he slowly stopped.

"Ok?"

Su Xia's eyes moved slightly, and in the white mist surging in front of him, a vague figure appeared.

Behind him, a figure also appeared.

Not only that, with him at the center, there were dense footsteps in the surrounding streets, as if countless people were running towards him.

Su Xia raised her guard and immediately scattered countless nano-robots.

Through the vision of these robots, he sees specific situations.

Around him are countless soldiers holding weapons made of wood, ceramics, special plastics and other materials.

These people, come prepared!

"Brother mask, you are a guest from afar."

A heavy voice came from the fog ahead.

The blurred figure gradually became clear. It was a tall middle-aged man, more than two meters tall, with a short head and rough and dark skin. He was wearing a black formal suit, but his clothes were bulging with muscles, and he was as strong as a bear.

He released the psionic energy fluctuations in himself, and the fluctuations undoubtedly reached level 4.0.

[Jiang Xiong, male, 43 years old, 4.0-level psionic creature, honorary chairman of Jiang's Group in Fish Scale City]

After reading the panel data, Su Xia's expression remained unchanged, and she asked, "Is there anything you want to do with me?"

"How about a few drinks?" The man behind laughed: "If I don't do anything, I'm afraid others will say that I am not good at hospitality in Fishscale City."

The man walked out of the thick fog step by step, a thin middle-aged man.

Su Xia turned to look at his character panel.

[Wei Zhong, male, 47 years old, 4.0-level psionic creature, honorary chairman of the Wei Group of Fish Scale City, and the current human city owner of Fish Scale City]

This battle is not small, even the city lord came in person, ordinary people do not have this treatment.

The strength of this guy is much stronger than that of the waste Qi Lang in Coral City, and his own momentum is not comparable to Qi Lang.

Sure enough, the control of the Coral City by the mechanical clan was so strict that the human clan in the city was generally not strong, and there was not even a stronger clan.

The scale of Fish Scale City is not as good as Coral City, but now two level [-] creatures have come to stop Su Xia.

These two are the leaders of the two super family businesses that Xue Lin spoke of.

The situation in this city is very special. The mayor changes almost every year, and the two families change the position.

The two families monopolized most of the industries in the city, and even the human army guarding the city had many people from both families.

In ancient times, this practice was to beheaded, but the mechanic didn't bother to care, as long as the human race in the city didn't riot.

Su Xia asked, "How many drinks are you going to have? Are you entertaining?"

"Of course we treat guests, there is no reason for guests to give money." Wei Zhong laughed, the smile on his face looked sincere, but the fluctuations of his psychic energy did not restrain in the slightest.

It stands to reason that Su Xia has nothing to do with these two families.

But now like this, the other party is clearly coming with a threat.

"What did Xue Lin tell you?" Su Xia thought of the reason.

"It's nothing." Jiang Xiong smiled, "The young man said, Brother Mask, you are very dissatisfied with our industry, and it seems that you plan to get rid of them one by one?"

"You guys are not that stupid, and won't do anything for this kind of stupid talk."

Su Xia knew very well and asked, "Then what did Xue Lin promise you? He gave you all his property?"

"Hey, well, it's worthwhile to trade his property for a life and not live in fear for the rest of his life, no matter how you look at it."

"Yeah, I got it."

Xue Lin did have some means and courage, and he was very decisive.

This is a huge industry that he has worked so hard to manage for a long time. He has invested countless efforts, and he can let it go as soon as he can, and give it away directly, in exchange for the protection of two huge groups.

If it was someone else, most of them couldn't do it, they would just find a way to fight Su Xia.

Jiang Xiong loosened the muscles on his body and said, "Brother mask, there are not so many life-and-death matters in this world. There is nothing that can't be discussed. What do you think? How about a few drinks?"

Su Xia smiled: "You brought hundreds of thugs to invite me to drink?"

"Not many people, I'm afraid I won't move you."

"I'm not in the mood to drink today."

"Some wines don't depend on mood." Wei Zhong said behind, "Brother Mask, you know what I mean."

Neither of them is afraid of Su Xia. Their confidence comes from their own powerful strength and the huge family behind them. The two of them are absolute authority in this Fish Scale City.

Although Su Xia is famous, he has never had a record of killing a fourth-level creature head-on as a masked geek.

There are too few fourth-level creatures. Most of them are well-respected existences in a city, and they rarely fight with each other.

He and Yutuo City Lord could only fight to a tie, and he never responded to Wang Teng's battle in the wilderness, which made a few people feel that he did not have the ability to defeat creatures of the same level.

Now that the two are against one another, and there are hundreds of people around to assist, there is no need to say who has the advantage.

"Brother mask, have you made up your mind?"

Jiang Xiong asked, a sharp dagger made of composite material appeared in his hand, and the threat between words was self-evident.

Su Xia nodded: "I think about it."

Jiang Xiong thought that Su Xia's clothes were softened: "Well, let's go to the tavern to deal with things..."

But before he finished speaking, Su Xia moved.

A sharp sword suddenly pierced through the mist and attacked Jiang Xiong from behind at a very tricky angle.

Jiang Xiong was shocked, the sword was too close to him, when did it float over?
"Sneak attack! Despicable villain!"

He cursed loudly, and instantly activated the psychic shield, and the whole person fell to the ground in a daze, worthy of avoiding this blow.

As expected of a fourth-level creature, the reaction speed is indeed much faster than that of a third-level creature.

The long sword flew past his shield, making a harsh sound.

This move immediately caused a series of chain reactions.

"call out--"

A flickering signal bomb lifted into the sky, drawing a dazzling arc in the misty sky.

All the soldiers on standby saw it.

"I didn't talk about it, the masked geek started."

"Come together and kill him!"

"I still dare to be arrogant when I come to Fish Scale City, do I really take myself as a character?"

"Brothers, come on, whoever kills the masked monster will get the family's key cultivation!"

"..."

In fact, these warriors were all transferred from the Fish Scale City troops. All of them were well-trained and their fighting qualities were much higher than ordinary people.

But they are not fighting for the city at this moment, but for their own family.

This mighty hundreds of people, either surnamed Wei or Jiang, were all sons of soldiers.

Wei Zhong roared angrily, "Masked weirdo, I think you've been carried away by those false names!"

"Where did you get the confidence to face me and wait?!"

Jiang Xiong was also extremely angry, turned over from the ground, and confronted Su Xia with a weapon.

The fog was surging on the long street, and the killing intent was permeating.

Su Xia didn't change his face, he started with the long sword, and the cold sword body reflected his indifferent gaze.

On the tops of the houses on both sides of the street, soldiers stuck their heads out, holding wooden bows and crossbows, pulling strings and arrows.

"put!"

In an instant, the bowstring vibrated, the air burst, and countless arrows hit Su Xia like raindrops, as if to shoot him into a hedgehog.

Su Xia flew into the sky and directly avoided this round of attacks.

Wei Zhong in the back suddenly stretched out his lean palm, slammed his five fingers at Su Xia, and said angrily, "Get down!"

Psionic talent, gravitational cage!
Su Xia only felt that the gravity below suddenly increased, pulling him down.

The other party obviously used all his strength, his face flushed red, the blue veins on his forehead burst out, and his five fingers were twisted like chicken feet.

But he smiled lightly, stabilized his body, and asked, "That's it?"

……

In the Zero Point Tavern, Xue Lin was sitting on the red sofa, holding the wine glass tightly, anxious and looking at his phone from time to time.

When the signal flare was raised on the other side, he finally received the message from the two families.

The message was brief, only five words.

【The show has begun! 】
