Chapter 295: A Cataclysmic Kill
On the outskirts of Tianyu Island.
Four great armies converged in a misty area.
Wu Conggang, Blood Knife King, Gold Gun King, and an actively joined Dragon Demon King!
Why?
Because when the Dragon Demon King’s soul sense exploded, it left a trace of aura tracking Chen Ansheng, eventually discovering that he had arrived at Tianyu Island.
Thus, he accepted Wu Conggang’s invitation and sent his top experts to eradicate Chen Ansheng.
“Fellow Immortal Kings, in this battle, we must join forces and dismember that Li Tai’a!”
Although Wu Conggang’s strength and realm were not on par with the others, he was the personal guard of the Snow-Haired Old Man, and naturally held the highest status.
“Rest assured, Commander Wu. We have brought our full forces this time, plus a third-tier puppet to assist. Even if there were ten Li Tai’a, he would find it hard to escape death today!”
The speaker had blood-red skin, even his teeth were red, and he carried a blood-colored great knife on his back; hence the title of Blood Knife King.
“Commander Wu, how will the territory be distributed after we kill Li Tai’a?”
The one who spoke was handsome and elegant in demeanor, the Gold Gun King.
“The territory will naturally belong to all of you; you can divide it equally. Moreover, my Lord has added a reward of five hundred billion ink crystals, to be shared among you.” Wu Conggang replied.
His order was simply to kill Li Tai’a; the other small benefits were too insignificant for the Snow-Haired Old Man.
Both Blood Knife King and Gold Gun King were very satisfied with this.
They both had enmity with Li Tai’a and had coveted Tianyu Island for many years, struggling to capture it.
Today, not only did they have full confidence in eliminating their enemy, but most importantly, they could do a favor for the Peak Immortal King, which might lead to pledging allegiance to him and doing his bidding in the future!
“Hmph.”
At this moment, the Dragon Demon King snorted coldly.
“I don’t want any territory, nor do I want ink crystals. I only want that brat dead; I want to tear him into pieces!”
Seeing the Dragon Demon King so furious, Blood Knife King asked, “Who dared to kill your son?”
The Dragon Demon King, filled with killing intent, replied, “It is that little brat, the one for whom Lord Snow-Haired has offered a bounty of three hundred billion ink crystals!”
“Oh?”
Upon hearing this, the others were overjoyed.
Wu Conggang exclaimed, “Are you sure that scoundrel is on Tianyu Island?”
“Absolutely! My tracking technique has never missed!” the Dragon Demon King shouted in anger.
“Good, good, good!” Wu Conggang laughed heartily. “Brothers, this is a golden opportunity for you all to achieve great merit while striking two birds with one arrow! I preemptively congratulate you on seizing the enormous bounty.”
Blood Knife King excitedly licked his lips, “Luck is here, it can’t be stopped!”
Gold Gun King could no longer contain the killing intent inside him, “Commander Wu, we should deploy the troops now!”
“Alright!” Wu Conggang nodded. “The restrictions around Tianyu Island are quite strong. When I give the command, you will form a formation to attack. I believe that within an hour, we will break in and directly take heads from Li Tai’a and that brat.”
“Deploy the troops!”
The Dragon Demon King’s killing intent grew even more intense as he soared into the sky, ready to lead the charge.
……
Tianyu Island, in the Forbidden Palace.
“Brother Li, they have arrived. Should we strike out?”
Mu Ye sensed that over twenty thousand Celestial Immortal experts had come from outside the island.
“Hahaha.”
Li Tai’a laughed.
“These clowns emptied their coffers just to kill me. There’s no need to take the initiative; we should let them be filled with hope, only to fall into despair afterward. That way, my resentment will be alleviated!”
Mu Ye nodded with a smile.
“When they go through great hardship to break past the outer restrictions and rush in only to find three thousand Immortal Kings waiting for them, I wonder how regretful they will be, haha.”
Chen Ansheng was sipping tea while thinking of how to reap more benefits for himself.
“Brothers, when the battle commences, you two will be responsible for injuring those few Immortal Kings while holding back the other Celestial Immortals. Leave all the heads for me to harvest.”
Chen Ansheng said.
“Brother Chen, you need not make a move. After all, the opponent has several Immortal Kings. If they become desperate, I fear they will stop at nothing to put you to death,” Li Tai’a suggested.
“Hehe.” Chen Ansheng chuckled. “To not hide from you two, the reason my purification bottle can eliminate a hundred poisons is because it can absorb the life force of enemies, and they must die at my hands for it to work, so I want to take action myself.”
“I see.” Mu Ye interjected, “Earlier, Brother Chen expended considerable life force to cure and heal me, right?”
“Not much; I used more than ninety percent,” Chen Ansheng slightly exaggerated the numbers.
Upon hearing this, Mu Ye was immensely grateful.
How precious is life force! Brother Chen actually expended ninety percent to save himself, what could this kindness be repaid?
“If that’s the case, during the battle, I’ll lead the troops to encircle and severely wound several Immortal Kings, and Brother Mu will guard Brother Chen and help him collect the heads.” Li Tai’a suggested.
“That sounds excellent.”
Mu Ye agreed, and Chen Ansheng nodded as well.
“Brother Li, is there anything else you are worried about?”
Mu Ye noticed a hint of worry flickering in Li Tai’a’s eyes.
“Nothing much.” Li Tai’a continued, “Since I am using Brother Chen’s talisman, the news will likely spread quickly. At that time, it may attract the attention of others. Common Immortal Kings are fine, but if a Tianzun family secretly sends people to snatch it, that would be troublesome.”
Li Tai’a’s concerns were not unfounded.
The talisman is incredibly precious.
Even a royal-level talisman could spark the envy of several Immortal Kings within a Tianzun family.
Unless you have backing.
“Brother Li, this talisman can only be snatched in the first hundred years after its birth. Aside from that, it can only be revoked by its owner. There’s no need to worry.” This was something Elder Ji had told Chen Ansheng back then.
Upon hearing this, both Li Tai’a and Mu Ye shook their heads.
Mu Ye was the first to say, “The other side wouldn’t let the owner go, even if they don’t kill them for the sake of the talisman. They would capture and torture them until the owner willingly revokes it; how should we respond?”
Li Tai’a nodded, “Indeed, the world is dangerous. Innocent people might suffer the consequences of having a treasure. After this battle, I will return the talisman to Brother Chen, and we three will find a place to hide.”
Chen Ansheng’s heart sank.
Being captured and tortured?
That is indeed a possibility.
“In that case, Brother Li, you would have to give up Tianyu Island, and you can’t take the territories of the other forces either. What a pity.”
Chen Ansheng said.
“It’s fine.” Li Tai’a appeared calm, “If it weren’t for your assistance this time, both my brother Mu and I would have lost our lives. A mere territory is nothing to give up.”
Mu Ye added, “Before the chaotic Dragon Sea is unified, anyone’s territory is only temporarily held; we will have opportunities in the future.”
“Is there any way to not expose the talisman?” Chen Ansheng asked.
“Basically impossible.” Li Tai’a shook his head, “We powers know each other’s foundations very clearly. If a batch of Immortal Kings suddenly appears on my side, even if only dozens are assimilated, the other forces will definitely guess that I have used a talisman.”
“Exactly.” Mu Ye nodded, “To be sure to eliminate the enemy, at least dozens of Immortal Kings must be assimilated from both those two third-tier puppets. Once done, it will inevitably be exposed. If that’s the case, we might as well mobilize three thousand troops at once for a swift and decisive battle, killing them in a cataclysmic fashion.”
