Chapter 680: Chief Jiang
Choosing the right team was very important!
Once one chose the wrong team, for better—his future was bleak, for worse—he might lose his life. However, since Ba Dao and Chief Long were dead, there wouldn’t be many problems. Even if everyone present chose Jiang Yi, there would be no problem. Could Chief Long and Ba Dao come back from the Netherworld Realm and kill those who didn’t side with them?
Now the problem present to the group was whether they followed Jiang Yi, other chiefs, or became their own chiefs.
Two chiefs were dead, and Jiang Yi would probably rise up and become chief, but there was still one quota left.
What made the group hesitant was mainly the concern about Jiang Yi’s ability. He looked younger than 20 years old and appeared to be only at the Vajra Realm. How dared he to ask a group of Heaven Monarch Realm martial experts to submit to him! The group still faced humiliation and was unconvinced. If Jiang Yi killed Ba Dao and Chief Long in front of them, they would concede defeat from the bottom of their hearts. However, no one knew exactly how Jiang Yi killed the two.
Therefore, many were divided. Of course, there were two people that looked determined. They flew to a giant mountain five kilometers away to the left and cupped their hands reverently. “Chief Lone Wolf, I will follow you in the future!”
“Chief Lone Wolf, count us in, too!”
As someone took the lead, some people that were hesitant made up their minds and flew far away. Soon, 12 out of 27 people present flew away. There were 15 men left in the mid-air, twinkling their eyes and unable to reach a decision.
“Chief Lone Wolf!”
One man clenched his teeth and said, “I don’t want to be your enemy. I was ordered by Chief Long to hunt you down. May I just leave?”
“I’ve said that you only have two choices!” Jiang Yi said indifferently, in a very peremptory tone. Clearly, they would either submit to him or die!
A sliver of wrath flickered across the Heaven Monarch that spoke just now, but he didn’t leave directly. Right now, whoever dared to take the lead in rebelling against Jiang Yi would definitely become his first target of attack.
The no.1 mighty subordinate of Chief Long—the only mid-tier Heaven Monarch—Long She hesitated for a while before suddenly sent a voice transmission that said: “Chief Lone Wolf, how about we make a deal? You’ve killed two chiefs; there are two vacancies now. We will support you to become a chief. How about giving me your support to let me be the other chief? We’ll act together in the future, and Long She will follow your lead. How about that?”
“Hahaha!”
Jiang Yi looked up at the sky and laughed loudly. He glanced at Long She tauntingly and didn’t send a voice transmission. Instead, he said in a satirical tone, “What qualifications do you have to make a deal with me? You guys, listen up and shut the crap. You either follow me and stand over there, or… die!”
“Five!”
“Four!”
As the satanic voice sounded, many started to panic. Five out of the 15 people gritted their teeth, cupped their hands at Jiang Yi, and said, “Chief Lone Wolf, we will follow you.”
Swish!
Five men pierced the sky and flew to the mountains on the left. The remaining nine men obviously looked up to Long She, whose eyes glistened coldly. He still couldn’t make up his mind.
“Three!”
“Two!”
Jiang Yi’s cold voice continued. Aura surged on Long She, and he suddenly burst out shouting, “Brothers, let’s keep him together! Kill!”
“Kill!”
The other nine men had yet to surrender till now; they were clearly unconvinced. Now, they all took actions upon hearing Long She’s yell. They turned into ten streams of light, rushing towards Jiang Yi. Different kinds of weapons kept shining in their hands; they were about to release countless dao pattern attacks and special magical skills.
“You don’t know the meaning of death!”
Jiang Yi sneered. His Fire Spirit Pearl glowed one step earlier. Balls of blue flames gushed out, instantly shrouding him in. At the same time, the Fire Cloud Armor appeared on his body, and so did the Fire Dragon Sword in his hand. He combined martial skills and suddenly slammed down his sword to the front.
Chi! Chi!
Tens of thousands of fire dragons whizzed out, carrying the horrible Thunder Fire. Before the fire dragons arrived, surges of heat waves had covered the sky and ground.
“This…”
As Long She and his group were about to release their attacks, they were instantly frightened out of their wits. Warnings of fatal danger sounded in the deepest part of their souls. Their instincts compelled them to turn back and flee. They were shrouded by the aura of death; who dared to strike now?
“Quickly retreat…”
Not only these ten men, but also the other 17 Heaven Monarch martial experts in a distance were scared. Despite their divine shields on, everyone felt unable to withstand the terrible heat and retreated crazily.
Those 17 men were secretly delighted for they had made the right decision just now. Otherwise… what happened to Ba Dao, Chief Long, Long She and the other nine men would happen to them, too.
“Ah—!”
Ten shrieks of pain sounded. Even Chief Long and Ba Dao couldn’t stand the heat; how could Long She and the other nine low-tier Heaven Monarchs withstand that? The horrendous heat waves instantly destroyed their divine shields, followed by their bodies which burned to nothingness.
Apart from Long She who was still left with a body, the rest of the men were not even left with a scrap. Ten interspatial rings floated in the sky. All the transcending saint artifacts were intact, but some Saint Artifacts were damaged.
It was not because of differences between the materials of the transcending saint artifacts and the saint artifacts, but the restrictions inside. Therefore, it was usually very difficult to destroy transcending saint artifacts.
Swish!
Jiang Yi flew past emotionlessly and took ten rings and three transcending saint artifacts that were not broken into his Ancient Divine Essence Ring. The Thunder Fire in the sky was automatically absorbed by the Fire Spirit Pearl, and the high temperature gradually lowered.
Swish!
The Heaven Monarchs that fled away in panic immediately flew back as the heat disappeared. They stood in an orderly arrangement on a small hill beneath Jiang Yi, genuflected, and shouted, “Chief Lone Wolf!”
The 17 men broke out shouting simultaneously. They were as loud as thunder and reverberated across the field.
Everyone sounded extremely determined. If there were people questioning Jiang Yi’s ability just now, no one dared to do so now. They couldn’t even handle the dreadful heat five kilometers away. They were certain that the ten chiefs, other than Big Sister Bell, could never withstand the heat or kill Jiang Yi!
As long as Jiang Yi let out the Thunder Fire and surrounded himself with it, the other chiefs in the city would never dare to stay closer than five kilometers away from him. They would definitely be killed once they approached him. Without the essence force of a high-tier Heaven Monarch, the divine shield couldn’t resist the burn of the flames at all.
“Chief Lone Wolf?”
Jiang Yi frowned. He found the address a bit awkward, but he didn’t want to expose his true name. Pausing, he ordered coldly. “Call me Chief Jiang in the future. All rise.”
Over a dozen men rose up uniformly. Everyone cupped their hands and shouted in a deep voice, “Yes, Chief Jiang!”
“Let’s depart!”
Jiang Yi waved and flew to the Thunder Mountains. He lowered his head sideward and looked at the ground below. “I will meet the other chiefs. If they have any disarrangement, you follow my lead and kill them.”
“Yes, Chief Jiang!”
The 17 men cupped their hands and shouted loudly again before rising up and flying to the Thunder Mountains with Jiang Yi. Of course, they didn’t dare to stay too close to him and kept a distance of 300 meters—in case they might get burned if a fight broke out, and Jiang Yi released the Thunder Fire.
Everyone appeared excited. Chief Long and Ba Dao were not ranked very high in the city. Chief Long was ranked the sixth, Ba Dao was the eighth. Accordingly, their statuses in the city were not very high either.
As they followed Jiang Yi right now, he would definitely deter the other chiefs with his scary strength. Perhaps, if those chiefs were not convinced, Jiang Yi would just kill all of them.
The crowd flew out in a mighty contingent and left the thunder ridges in a few minutes. Four chiefs with nearly 100 men were quietly observing the development of the situations. When they saw Jiang Yi going out with the rest, they showed looks of fear. Just now, ten screams that echoed already made them quake with fear.
As they saw Jiang Yi flying over emotionlessly, followed by 17 men with murderous looks. They felt that a Killer God was approaching them. In particular, thunderbolts flickered across Jiang Yi’s eyes from time to time, making him look even more petrifying.
