"You!" Su Tan’s face flushed, not knowing what to say at all.
She never expected Chen Feng to say something like this. No matter how inadequate she might be, she was still the leader of a faction. This was simply... a bit too much!
Su Tan frowned, her fingers slightly clenching, and said through gritted teeth, "Do you think that by killing Li Hongyi, you can do whatever you want throughout the xiamen? I know you’re at odds with Shi Xiong, and I’m well aware that you’ve become their target. I haven’t gotten involved only because I don’t want war to spread to my forces. Don’t force me..."
"Spread the war? The world has already become like this. Even if you hibernate, it will be of no avail. As for the so-called alliances you mentioned, do you think a few wastes coming together can achieve anything great? I traveled a long way to get here, passing through countless dangers along the way. Someone like Shi Xiong, in my eyes, is nothing more than a bug that can be crushed at any moment!"
Chen Feng sneered, showing no hint of fear.
Su Tan initially wanted to use Shi Xiong and Lin Tianxiu to scare him off, but who could have expected Chen Feng to say such things.
In his mouth, Shi Xiong was regarded as no more than a bug. This... was a bit too arrogant, wasn’t it!
Chen Feng took a step forward, gazing into Su Tan’s eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Don’t misunderstand me, what I want is your prestige and power. Many survivors are in xiamen, but with various factions intertwining, it’s turned into a chaotic mess. If a disaster truly comes, proper handling is impossible. Moreover, those at the bottom live in such horrible conditions that I hear they even resort to cannibalism, which is simply unimaginable."
"Whether you believe it or not, my goal is to reorganize this place, merge the divided factions together, so that resources can be shared. Practitioners will no longer recklessly waste food, and ordinary people won’t have to worry about starving to death suddenly. As long as they work, they will receive their due rewards."
"You probably already know about me killing Li Hongyi. Yan Xiu cannot bear this responsibility; neither in prestige nor power does he compare to you. So, are you interested in joining me, allowing me to help you bring an end to this chaotic world?"
"Let me rule xiamen and end this chaos?" Su Tan’s voice was filled with surprise, and her mind was somewhat confused now.
"Precisely, I don’t suspect those I employ nor employ those I suspect. I always treat people sincerely and don’t offer petty favors. As long as you sincerely follow me, I will entrust the whole of xiamen to you. By then, I will help you achieve your long-held ambitions and let the people here live stable lives."
Chen Feng’s voice, like a breeze, drifted into Su Tan’s ears. On the surface, this sounded like a madman’s dream. Su Tan had investigated Chen Feng’s background; he had only brought a few boats of warriors with him this time, entered Li Hongyi’s base alone, and likely with Yan Xiu’s help from inside, managed to control this faction in such a short time.
Based on a normal person’s analysis, one major reason Chen Feng could kill Li Hongyi was due to luck, a point not only Su Tan but even Shi Xiong and others unanimously agreed on.
After all, they were unaware that Chen Feng was also a powerful Summoner.
Chen Feng killed Li Hongyi because of the right timing, favorable geography, and human harmony. However, facing the joint efforts of Shi Xiong and others, even if he was not weak, the three were not ordinary characters. Once they teamed up, no matter how strong Chen Feng was, he was doomed.
No denying his strength was noteworthy, but this time Shi Xiong didn’t plan to fight alone. Su Tan had witnessed the ruthless tactics of those people, and in her opinion, Chen Feng would certainly become a thorn in their side to stabilize his faction!
Yet, at this moment, Chen Feng wore an indifferent expression, and his words were filled with contempt.
No matter how one thinks about it, Chen Feng seemed to be raving like a lunatic. But, for some reason, once the words left his mouth, they had an inexplicable sense of persuasion. frёewebnoѵēl.com
Eyes don’t lie.
If Chen Feng were just pretending, his gaze would probably have been evasive. But when he mentioned Shi Xiong as just a bug moments ago, there was a hint of disdain and disregard in his eyes. Indeed, in his eyes, the one who killed the Void Ghost and reached MAX level in hand-to-hand combat was truly like a bug, not worthy of Chen Feng’s extra attention.
Could he... really believe he could do it?
In Su Tan’s eyes, Chen Feng was just a young man in his twenties. His appearance wasn’t "unremarkable," but he wasn’t a pretty boy either. After some time of experience, there was a calm and composed look etched on his face. Moreover, he commanded Order, exuding an air of authority worthy of admiration.
Noticing Su Tan’s gaze, Chen Feng said, "I intend to overturn this place. The severity of this matter should be most clear to you, so you need to make a decision now. If you still insist on your way, I’ll have no choice but to kill you to keep this secret."
After pausing for a few seconds, Chen Feng smiled, "Don’t joke about life with me. After you give the order, I have enough time to kill you, her, and her..."
Chen Feng’s words came across very clearly; you have only two paths to choose from: follow me and gain control over this place, or die now; there was no room for negotiation.
"I’ll give you just ten seconds to think. When time’s up, I need to hear your answer." Chen Feng’s voice fell as he stopped speaking.
Ten seconds.
At moments like this, even Su Tan felt a powerful pressure. Undoubtedly, if Chen Feng truly got angry, Ah Fei and Cottonwood would have no chance of survival.
But...
What leverage did Chen Feng have to be so reckless?
"I never make uncalculated decisions. Everyone has ambitions. If unifying xiamen allows more people to live better lives, of course, I would choose to accept. But with just you and me, we stand no chance against Shi Xiong and others. Joining you is akin to falling out completely with Shi Xiong. If you fail, aren’t we on the road to death as well?"
"What do you want to say?" Chen Feng asked composedly.
Su Tan stared tightly into Chen Feng’s eyes, word by word, "You’re strong, but it’s far from enough. I want to see... what other cards you have up your sleeve."
Chen Feng’s face showed a playful smile, "I like smart people."
As soon as he finished speaking, four fissures suddenly appeared around Chen Feng, these rifts seemingly tearing through space, to a realm unattainable by ordinary people, and even more frightening, within each fissure, there was an overwhelming force hidden.
Four fissures, four strong individuals, each one not inferior to Su Tan, and even stronger.
At this moment, Su Tan finally couldn’t keep calm, her expression mixed with surprise and fear, looking at Chen Feng, she trembled in her voice, "You... who are you?"
Chen Feng waved his hand, and three of the rifts disappeared instantly. He walked up to Su Tan, whispered in her ear, "I think you already know what choice to make. Do well, I admire you..."
After saying that, Chen Feng stepped into the last remaining fissure, disappearing from the group’s sight.
Leaving behind, the dazed group of Su Tan...
