Chapter 443

"Isn't this better? We catch them all in one net, and we don't have to waste our time." Regarding this, Lu Li merely waved his hand.

If the other party had been willing to talk to him from the beginning, Lu Li might not have resorted to violence.

But since Dalwila had now made a move against him and Baosi, he naturally had no need to be polite to the other party.

833. You know nothing about me, yet I know you like the back of my hand.

Xiro and the others were at a certain distance from the location of Dalwila, Lu Li, and Baosi; however, this distance was nothing to Divine Artifact Users.

Even with Xiro, a mere ordinary human, they still arrived at Dalwila's location very quickly under the lead of several S-rank Divine Artifact Users.

"Dalwila, is the opponent's strength that great?" However, seeing that Dalwila's mask had actually shattered, Xiro couldn't help but frown and asked directly.

To a certain extent, the mask was Dalwila's signature; since leaving the Central Court until now, Xiro had never seen Dalwila take it off.

Even in the most intense battles, Dalwila's mask...

At the same moment, his gaze also turned toward Lu Li and Baosi, and a trace of unease flashed in the depths of his heart.

There was no impression; in Xiro's memory, there had never been any memory of the two people before him. In other words, this was his first time meeting these two.

Xiro still had great confidence in his own memory.

If someone capable of making Dalwila suffer in their first encounter had been seen by him before, he absolutely would not have had no memory or impression of them.

The other party was neither a Divine Artifact User of the Central Court nor a Divine Artifact User from other regions in his memory. The development of events had exceeded his expectations, which caused Xiro's expression to become increasingly somber.

However, he also understood that even if he were to fly into a rage or scold Dalwila now, it would be meaningless; it would not make things start over.

Besides, his side now had all four Heavenly Kings gathered; even if the other three founders of the Central Court were present, he would still have the confidence to retreat unscathed.

"Very strong," after a few seconds of silence, Dalwila finally spoke slowly: "The opponent's strength is likely greater than each of us individually."

"If my estimation is not wrong, the opponent is likely an S2 or even an S3-level Divine Artifact User."

Although it was just a common clash, Dalwila still discovered quite a few problems, and he had indeed only discovered the attack and escaped immediately at the very last moment.

If he had run even a step slower, it wouldn't have been as simple as just his mask shattering.

Especially since the opponent had broken his attack while making a move against him; even an S2-level Divine Artifact User might not be able to do so easily.

In Dalwila's mind, it was more likely that the opponent was an S3-level Divine Artifact User.

"An S3-level Divine Artifact User?" Xiro's brows furrowed even tighter.

Although Dalwila was only guessing, he had to take the worst-case scenario mentioned by the other party as his hypothesis.

The development of this evening had already exceeded his expectations; if he could not correct it in time, then his plan for today might have to be shelved.

Beside Xiro, Ronak remained silent, but he had already quietly gripped the Divine Artifact he held, the Seven-Fold Shield. If Lu Li and Baosi made any moves, he would immediately act to defend; this was his positioning within the team.

"Truly beautiful; even I feel jealous." Orosia looked at Baosi, a trace of envy and overflowing hostility flowing in her eyes.

She liked being watched and liked the thrill of being the center of attention; therefore, even after becoming a Divine Artifact User, she paid great attention to her own appearance.

However, now facing Baosi, Orosia felt a sense of inferiority, as if the other party were the star standing under the spotlight, receiving the attention of the masses.

This feeling made Orosia very unhappy, which was the reason why her gaze toward Baosi carried overflowing hostility.

As for the last one, Flora, she had kept her eyes closed from the beginning, so she was the calmest among the few.

However, Flora's position was also very special; together with Xiro, she was vaguely protected by the other three, which also meant that Flora's identity, or rather her ability, was not ordinary.

"Three more Divine Artifact Users have arrived, and they are just like Dalwila, Divine Artifact Users whose strength has reached the ten-star Shi Shi level?" Regarding the two men and two women who had newly appeared before him, Lu Li's eyes quickly scanned the information of these people.

Among them, the most noteworthy were naturally the three Divine Artifact Users whose strength was on par with Dalwila, including Ronak.

At the same time, Lu Li also understood why the few had the move of vaguely protecting Flora; the other party was the only healer among the four, and she indeed needed special treatment.

Besides that, there was the remaining Xiro.

The other party was not a Divine Artifact User, but an ordinary human, yet he seemed to be the leader of this team.

This was interesting!

An ordinary human followed by four S-rank Divine Artifact Users; Lu Li believed that even within the Boundary City, such a combination was unique.

"Young Master, the other party is Xiro, the Commander of the Boundary City," Baosi's voice rang out, attracting everyone's gaze on the scene: "As for the four people beside him, they are Ronak, Dalwila, Orosia, and Flora, one of the Seven who founded the Central Court."

"However, the other party has now broken with the Central Court and is plotting to destroy the world where the entire Boundary City is located to achieve their own goals."

Back when the Night Queen was conquering the Boundary City, she had experienced several cycles, among which were experiences of dealing with the Central Court and Xiro.

Baosi had participated in all of these throughout the process.

Now seeing these people, her memories regarding this aspect surfaced again, which also meant that compared to Nive, the Xiro and others before her were more worthy of Baosi's attention.

However, upon hearing Baosi's statement, except for Lu Li, the expressions of Xiro and the others changed again and again.

834. Negotiation failed, start fighting directly.

"Who exactly are you?" Xiro's expression had already been somber, and now, hearing Baosi listing his background as if she knew it by heart, almost exposing his entire foundation, his expression became incredibly colorful.

No matter how composed and calm the other party was, it was difficult to maintain it now.

At this moment, in Xiro's mind, the level of difficulty of Baosi and Lu Li instantly soared to the same level as Yan Hua, second only to that mysterious owner of the White Night Pavilion!

It was not just Xiro; Ronak, Dalwila, and the others also realized the severity of the problem.

They could be very certain that they were absolutely meeting Lu Li and Baosi for the first time; before this, they had no memory of the other party.

But Lu Li and Baosi seemed to know everything about them like the back of their hands; for them, this was absolutely not a good thing!

Furthermore, it was highly likely that the other party was coming for them; otherwise, why would these two happen to arrive at the High School Academy at this very moment?

If one were to say this was a coincidence, they absolutely would not believe it; they would rather believe that this was an action the other party had planned long ago.

"I really feel like I've been misunderstood," seeing the expressions of the few, how could Lu Li not know their thoughts? He couldn't help but mutter in his heart, though there was not much expression on his face.

"Who we are is not important."

"What's important is that you just ambushed us for no reason; shouldn't you give us an explanation?"

"That was just a misunderstanding earlier," Xiro bowed slightly; he only wanted to take the Black Core within the High School Academy away quickly and did not want to cause more trouble or come into conflict with Lu Li: "If Your Excellency is willing, after tonight, I will visit in person."

Not a Divine Artifact User in his memory, yet possessing S3-level strength; in Xiro's view, even if the two sides had just clashed, the other party still had value worth his solicitation.

To achieve his goal, he did not mind any means or utilizing any resources; even cooperating with his enemies was not impossible.

In his view, his side's approach just now was indeed inappropriate, but the reason for it was simply because Lu Li and Baosi's strength was very great, exceeding his expectations.

If the two were merely ordinary humans, their life or death would not attract more of Xiro's attention, and he certainly would not have made such a move.

Moreover, the conflict between them and Lu Li was not without room for easing.

"If it were before I knew your purpose, perhaps I would accept your apology," unfortunately, that was merely Xiro's wishful thinking; Lu Li had no intention of being in the same camp as the other party: "I don't want to let the Boundary City start a new cycle."

Lu Li did not want to waste too much time within the Boundary City, especially since Baosi had also said just now that Xiro and the others were constantly plotting the destruction of the Boundary City.

The other party's actions and his own goals were in an opposing situation from the beginning, which also meant there was no room for easing between the two.
