Seeing this scene, the other members of the defense team successively cheered in satisfaction, their faces showing a touch of ridicule, and disdainfully looked at Leo Ray.
This was their captain’s famous ultimate skill, the “Heavy Splitting Slash”, which had claimed the lives of countless foolish Cyan Town miners. It seemed that they were about to add one more today.
On the other side, including the white-haired old man who was heavily pushed into the corner, the other elders, and Estelle Reiss and her father, all showed panicked expressions.
It should be known that this burly man was a Tier 2 Nine-Star Powerful, said to be only one step away from Tier Third level, and could be considered one of the top powerhouses in Magnet Town.
It seemed that this young man’s chances of survival were slim!
However, in the next second, something unexpected happened.
Just as the burly man’s sword, flashing with a dazzling cold light, was about to approach Leo Ray.
A thick, powerful hand had already firmly grasped the burly man’s neck.
In an instant, accompanied by a crisp “crack” sound, under the unbelievable gazes of the other defense team members, along with the several elders and Estelle Reiss and her father.
The hulking man who was just preparing to slaughter people had already fallen to the ground with his eyes wide open and full of bloodshot fear, losing his vital signs.
Undoubtedly, the one who took action was Taylor.
For a moment, the entire cabin was silent, and everyone was obviously stunned by the incredible scene before them.
A battle-hardened Tier 2 Peak powerhouse had died so cleanly?
It should be known that to accomplish this feat, one would have to be at least a Tier Third level powerhouse!
But how could such a powerhouse casually appear here?
The most critical question was — who exactly was this indifferent young man with such a powerhouse at his disposal?
Thinking of this, the other Mine Defense Team members who had just been cheering excitedly all had faces filled with terror.
Their faces, which once held smugness, now only revealed an obvious fear as they looked back at Leo Ray.
“Don’t panic, we still have 9 Tier 2 Powerhouses here. Even if the opponent is a Tier 3 Powerhouse, they can’t possibly be our match!”
At this moment, a defense team member with a fierce expression on his face said, “Let’s kill them together, we’ll surely be rewarded!”
Hearing this, the faces of the other Mine Defense Team members couldn’t help but show a tinge of greed, as their energy surged, seemingly ready to take action any moment.
“Act now, it’s time to make these people pay.”
Saying this, Leo Ray turned and walked towards the back door with Estelle, and spoke to his subordinates.
After Leo Ray and Estelle left the wooden house and closed the door, a bloody and violent storm swept through the room.
By the time Leo Ray came back inside, the battlefield had already been cleaned up, leaving almost no trace of blood.
At the same time, Leo Ray noticed that Linda, Mason Banks, and the others who had been assigned to gather intel had already arrived and bowed their heads in respect.
“Young man, you’ve really stirred up big trouble this time!”
The white-haired old man, who had been helped up, stumbled forward with a face filled with deathly gray gloom, and said, “Once they realize their people are missing, they will surely launch a citywide manhunt! We won’t survive then!”
At this point, it was clear from the panic on the old man’s face that he had lost his composure.
“Impudence! Old man, do you know who this esteemed person standing before you is?”
At this moment, a resolute middle-aged man from Linda’s group stepped forward, took off his hooded cap, and spoke.
Identifying the middle-aged man’s face, the leading old man, along with the other elders, looked at each other in confusion.
All of these people had lived in Cyan Town for most of their lives and naturally recognized the middle-aged man — he was the well-known commander of Cyan Town’s Defense Army, Rhizoma Drynariae.
“Commander Rhizoma, how did you end up here?”
After a moment of hesitation, the leading white-haired old man asked with a puzzled expression, “You said this young man is a big shot?”
“That’s right! The person standing before you is our Cyan Town’s new City Lord!”
With Leo Ray’s permission, Rhizoma Drynariae spoke with righteous sternness.
“What?! He’s the City Lord?!”
Upon hearing this, the several old men and Estelle’s father showed shocked expressions on their faces, hardly believing their own ears.
They never thought that the calm-looking young man in front of them would actually be their absolute ruler: the City Lord!
Even more unexpected was that the lofty City Lord would appear before them, lowly civilians, as a commoner!
Not only was he unpretentious, but he even treated them to a tasty meal, a delicacy they hadn’t enjoyed in years. This was simply overwhelming.
It should be known that the previous Lord of Cyan City treated them as disposable pawns!
Comparing the two, it was clear who was superior.
Thinking of this, the Cyan Town residents who had been living away from home for years could no longer hold back their emotions and began to tremble with excitement.
For a moment, they even thought they were dreaming.
“We, the residents of Cyan Town, pay homage to our City Lord!”
Excited, everyone knelt on the ground, humbly bowing their heads to Leo Ray.
Even Estelle’s father, who couldn’t get out of bed, struggled in bed to make this gesture.
“Big brother… You’re actually our City Lord?!”
On the other side, Estelle, who had just entered the door, had a puzzled expression on her little face and could hardly believe it.
“Estelle, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and kneel to the City Lord!”
Seeing this, Estelle’s father quickly reminded her.
“It’s not necessary.”
Waving his hand slightly, Leo Ray patted Estelle’s head and said with a faint smile, “What, surprised?”
“Of course I’m surprised! But I knew big brother… No, the City Lord would come to find us because our City Lord is the most powerful City Lord!”
Nodding her head heavily, the slender Estelle’s face was filled with anticipation and said, “City Lord, are you here to take us home?”
“Correct, I’m here to take you home.” On the other side, Leo Ray smiled and looked at her with bright eyes.
