novelThe Wolf King Admitting Defeat
| ← Ch.1784 | Ch.1786 → |
The moment the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor appeared, Xiao Chen's aura suppressed the other party's.
The sky that originally pressed down on Xiao Chen visibly rose.
The situation changed.
The eight generals, who came attacking, got forcefully pushed back by the aura, reduced to passive defense.
Their initially ferocious aura was immediately suppressed.
Not many could understand this feeling of falling from a high position in an instant or of having the tables turned on them.
"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!"
The eight generals cowered at the sight of the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor.
The generals did not know where this expert came from. The sudden turn of events shocked them into backing off hastily.
This Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor was the accumulation of Xiao Chen's efforts, created by his carving. Its strength was merely at early-stage Star Venerate.
However, as long as this Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor had even a ten-thousandth of the original Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor's spirituality, even if it was just a Star Venerate, it could suppress these eight, not giving them a chance to turn things around.
When fighting one against eight, against the eight generals, this was already the limit of Xiao Chen's capabilities.
Even the Wolf King himself could not possibly defeat the eight generals by himself.
These eight each possessed the strength of a Star Venerate and were very experienced. Even though their strength only rivaled that of small perfection or great perfection early-stage Star Venerates, they were relatively scary when they worked together.
Objectively speaking, Xiao Chen could not possibly win with his own strength.
These eight generals were not just as strong as an ordinary Star Venerate; they were also experienced generals whom the Wolf King was proud of.
These eight people truly lived up to the title of general. This title was obtained by fighting other pirate groups or the Divine Shield Army.
However, what these eight faced now was the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor, the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor that Xiao Chen painstakingly carved.
The eight immediately lost in the clash of auras. Then, they were completely suppressed as they fought.
These eight generals could not even retaliate. Soon, wounds riddled their bodies.
After about seven or eight minutes, one of the generals died.
The Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor split that person's head in half, spilling blood all over the place.
Everyone goggled when they saw this, utterly dumbfounded.
These people did not know that Xiao Chen actually had such an expert hidden beside him.
"This... is a little too horrifying, right?"
"Who is that person? Since when was there such a character in the Grave Sea?"
"I have never heard of that person before. However, I have heard a little about this white-clad bladesman. He is known as Xiao Chen and seems to have some connection with the Purple Flame Sect."
"Something is not quite right. Look at that scarlet-clad person. He gives off a huge aura and can bring out all sorts of killing moves. However, he does not seem like a living person at all. There is no color or intelligence in his eyes whatsoever."
"It's a puppet!"
There were some very knowledgeable experts mixed among the guests. They quickly saw through what was extraordinary about the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor.
"Stop!" the Wolf King shouted. All this time, Jiang Hengchuan appeared to be in a daze as he watched his eight generals get beaten until they could not retaliate.
Xiao Chen said coldly, "Jiang Hengchuan, you are truly shameless enough. Now, you know to stop. Earlier, when you ordered the wolf pack to kill me, why did you not stop then? Back when you were fooling the Black Cutlass, why do you not stop then?!"
These words infuriated Jiang Hengchuan into cursing.
"Xiao Chen, don't think that I, Jiang Hengchuan, am afraid of you—"
"Clang!"
Xiao Chen replied to Jiang Hengchuan by drawing his treasure saber and pointing it at the other party.
Xiao Chen's cold face showed no intention of resolving this peacefully.
"Jiang Hengchuan, how much longer are you going to hide like a tortoise? Since you are not afraid, then come and fight!"
Since you are not afraid, then come and fight.
Xiao Chen used the most decisive method to counter the Wolf King Jiang Hengchuan, ruthlessly forcing him to swallow his words, unable to say anything more.
The guests were all incredibly startled. Who could have thought that Xiao Chen would be so stubborn?
Who could have imagined that the existence that they did not dare to offend would shrink back like a tortoise from a junior in public?
However, in hindsight, this Jiang Hengchuan was indeed like a cowardly tortoise. From the very beginning, he never took the initiative to attack personally.
This Jiang Hengchuan cherished his life a lot.
Now, at the very end, Jiang Hengchuan even wanted to compromise, unwilling to attack.
Now, Xiao Chen pushed Jiang Hengchuan to the edge, not giving him room to retreat.
Many people could not help having other thoughts.
The end of the Wolf King Jiang Hengchuan seemed to be before them. What if he really lost?
While thinking this, these people felt a chill, finding this possibility extremely incredible.
The matters of the world could truly change in an instant; the universe was unpredictable.
When the birthday banquet began, the crowd saw the Wolf King Jiang Hengchuan as absolutely invincible. It turned out that pulling him down was so easy.
"Ah!"
Another miserable shriek rang out. Another of the eight generals died.
Jiang Hengchuan's lips twitched involuntarily as he faced Xiao Chen's saber pointed at him from the tall pavilion.
For the first time, Jiang Hengchuan felt helpless.
It's over. It's all over.
Even if I personally attack and kill this fellow, after today, the Wolf Smoke Pirate Group will definitely fall off the top ranking.
When one was in a high position, there would be many competitors.
Among the guests here, there were probably several taking pleasure in this disaster.
Even if the Wolf King managed to kill Xiao Chen, others would hit him while he was down.
When Xiao Chen pointed his weapon at him, Jiang Hengchuan knew that he had lost.
"I admit defeat!" the Wolf King Jiang Hengchuan said helplessly as he looked at Xiao Chen. He had not made even one move. His voice sounded decrepit.
If Jiang Hengchuan had another chance, he would definitely not fool the Black Cutlass, forcing its crew to go to the Grave Island Sea Region, a forbidden land where death was almost guaranteed.
Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and beckoned. The Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor turned into an exquisite sculpture falling into his hand.
He sheathed his saber and landed before Jiang Hengchuan. Then, he said coldly, "You are rather smart."
"Bang!"
As Xiao Chen spoke, he directly launched a palm strike, instantly driving ten Cauldron Force.
This palm strike, which came without any warning, gave off a loud sound. Jiang Hengchuan vomited a mouthful of blood as he went flying.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
This action immediately angered several Wolf Smoke Pirate Group crewmembers. Many of them stood up and glared at Xiao Chen in rage.
"Do not move."
Jiang Hengchuan stood up and wiped the blood from his lips. He raised his hand to stop the Wolf Smoke Pirate Group crewmembers.
"Bang!"
What answered Jiang Hengchuan was Xiao Chen's second palm strike.
When this palm strike landed, its offensive power was even greater than that of the previous one. This palm strike had Vital Qi and Veritable Essence Energy merged together.
Jiang Hengchuan did not resist. He was horrified to discover that even if he had not admitted defeat, the results would still have been the same.
The strength that Xiao Chen exhibited far surpassed Jiang Hengchuan's expectations.
Getting sent flying for the second time aggravated Jiang Hengchuan's injuries. It seemed like the bones of his body all shattered and his internal organs ruptured.
The mouthful of blood that Jiang Hengchuan vomited out actually contained several gobs torn from his internal organs.
Xiao Chen's actions frightened the spectating guests into taking a sharp intake of breath.
The Wolf King had already admitted defeat, compromising greatly, yet Xiao Chen was merciless in attacking.
His decisiveness in killing inspired a lingering fear in everyone.
"Bang!"
Before the Wolf King got up, Xiao Chen landed another palm strike. After three palm strikes, Jiang Hengchuan was pretty much half dead.
Jiang Hengchuan could no longer stand up. The survivors of the Wolf Smoke Pirate Group rushed over to help him up.
Upon seeing Jiang Hengchuan in such a sorry state, none of the many pirates, who called themselves his brother during the banquet, was willing to step forward and plead for him.
"There are many things that cannot be ended just by you admitting defeat. These three palm strikes are just the interest. If even a single person of the Black Cutlass dies, I will return and take your wretched life."
As Xiao Chen gazed at the Wolf King Jiang Hengchuan, his eyes did not contain any pity or compassion.
Everyone chose their own path.
If the Wolf King had only made a simple transaction with the Black Cutlass, Xiao Chen's murderous intent would not have been so heavy.
However, this Wolf King had been toying with the Black Cutlass; he had never intended to hand over the Iron Blood Token to the other party.
At the main banquet, the Wolf King even mocked the Black Cutlass for seeking trouble themselves, saying that they could not blame another for it.
"Xiao Chen, don't go overboard. Our captain already admitted defeat. What more do you want?"
Hearing the threat in Xiao Chen's words, the Wolf Smoke Pirate Group crewmembers all glared at Xiao Chen with hostility and anger.
"What is there to be afraid of? At worst, we will just fight it out with him and have both sides fall together!"
Jiang Hengchuan coughed intensely, then said, "All of you, shut up! Fourth Brother, hand the Iron Blood Token to Young Master Xiao."
It was easy to speak of falling together.
However, Jiang Hengchuan finally understood now that Xiao Chen had come completely prepared, piling plans on top of other plans.
Xiao Chen had even predicted how Jiang Hengchuan would react.
Jiang Hengchuan, on the other hand, did not know anything about Xiao Chen at all.
It was simply impossible for both sides to fall together. The Wolf Smoke Pirate Group crewmembers would only end up throwing away their lives for nothing.
One of the surviving generals showed a dissatisfied expression, but he still took out the Iron Blood Token and handed it to Xiao Chen.
After Xiao Chen received the Iron Blood Token, he swept his gaze over all the honored guests and declared, "Only I may reap his life."
On hearing Xiao Chen's words, Jiang Hengchuan released his bated breath.
Jiang Hengchuan knew that although his Wolf Smoke Pirate Group was finished, his remaining brothers would keep their lives.
