Free Web NovelChapter 1181: Chapter 1181: Chaotic Battle
"What about your remaining army? Opening a space passage that can accommodate such a large army is impossible now!"
Bai Ze glanced doubtfully at Delacuri, who had raised the question. He couldn’t understand why this usually cold and reticent person would care about the life and death of beings he regarded as ants or even food sources. Despite his doubts, Bai Ze still responded, "Of course, we’ll abandon them. Is there a problem with that?"
"No problem! I was just asking, though I’m disappointed you didn’t achieve your goal today, I started to admire you. In your world, there’s a saying, ’Plan before acting, and act decisively.’ You’re much better than my two stupid sons." Delacuri took a step back, spread his hands to show no objection, and praised Bai Ze in passing.
He had no objections, but the clan leaders of the Dark Race showed a difficult expression on their faces. Among this encircled army were many of their clan members, even direct relatives or kin. The implication of Bai Ze’s words seemed to be to abandon all these people. How could they accept that willingly? One clan leader, spurred on, was about to step forward and plead but was stopped by Fafnir, who pulled him back and secretly transmitted to them, "The few Grand Commanders of the Blood Massacr, have already died to ensure our survival, blocking Pei Yan’s way. Blood Massacr has fulfilled their duties as allies. When they’re abandoning even their own army, do you expect them to save our people? If we make such a request now, it will only be rejected. In serious cases, they might abandon us and flee alone. By then, it would be us being shortsighted, not Blood Massacr, and we would face extermination by the Dragon Realm, leaving no place for burial."
Although the other elders of the Dark Race felt reluctant after hearing this, when it came to choosing between others’ lives and their own, the choice was still easy. So, everyone chose to silently endure and keep their mouths shut.
As the crowd gathered, preparing to break through together, Pei Yan, along with both women from the Dragon Realm and Hu Jiu, pursued the battlefield. Seeing the hellish scene before him, Pei Yan gasped, mentally noting Blood Massacr’s grand move this time. He then looked over at everyone except Bai Ze, and that familiar source energy fluctuation immediately caught Pei Yan’s attention. He quickly understood how Blood Massacr precisely found his position in the vast Dragon Palace, layered with protection. He had just escaped the Death God’s grasp and thought about Delacuri’s part in it. Old and new grudges surged in his heart. Looking at the other party, he couldn’t help but chuckle coldly, "Haha, oh! Today indeed is a good day. Bai Ze, Nero, Shitang Longsi, and you, Lord Delacuri, more than half of those who have grudges against me, Pei Yan, are here."
Pei Yan shook his head, looking regretfully at Delacuri, "Mr. Delacuri, are you so eager to put me to death? I thought your butler might persuade you to complete that deal between us! It seems you really don’t care about your son’s life."
"Pei Yan, I do value my son’s life, but that doesn’t mean I’ll always be under your control." As Delacuri spoke, he took off the scorched outer garment from his battle with Long Taichu, casually tossing it aside, and continued to tidy his appearance, "When there’s a chance to resolve the core problem, I always have to try, don’t I? If you’re angry about this and want to vent that anger on my son, that’s fine. I’ll deal with your friends in the same way. And if you still want to continue our deal, I might go back and consider the proposal seriously."
Saying this, Delacuri raised a finger to interrupt Pei Yan’s attempt to speak, a gloomy and vicious smirk on his pale face, "Don’t speak those childish threats to me. I believe you’ll do your utmost to carry out your threats, but don’t forget, my family is never scared off by a threat or two, so let’s keep the useless talk to a minimum."
"Alright! No problem, then I’ll say something useful. On what grounds do you think you can leave alive under these circumstances? You wouldn’t want to use my friends’ lives to threaten me, would you?" Pei Yan retorted while signaling to Hu Jiu. Understanding his intent, Hu Jiu once again transformed into a human identical to Pei Yan, standing by his side, ready for battle.
"What if I really use this as leverage to let us leave?"
"Dream on!" Without waiting for Pei Yan to speak, Long Taichu took a step forward, roaring, "Capture our Lord of the Dragon Realm, kill our Dragon Realm people, destroy our Dragon Palace! Now you want to leave just like that, do you think the Dragon Realm has no one?"
"Look! Even if I wanted to let you go, I couldn’t convince these bloodthirsty clan leaders of the Dragon Realm!" Pei Yan spread his hands at Delacuri, feigning difficulty.
"Hahaha, I’m not desperate enough to use a disabled person to negotiate terms for escape. If you want to stop us, it’ll depend on whether you have that ability!"
Delacuri finished speaking and rapidly retreated. Simultaneously, Pei Yan, Hu Jiu, and the Golden-winged Roc Race’s clan leader Jin He Xuan rushed into the enemy ranks almost at the same time.
Clang! Clang! Clang! A series of metallic clashes, Blood Massacr’s men surprisingly abandoned Pei Yan and the Golden Roc, joining forces to attack the seemingly weakest Hu Jiu. As Hu Jiu lunged forward, he drew out two short daggers resembling wolf’s teeth, deflecting most of the attacks aimed at him. Yet, even so, facing Nero’s airborne whip leg aiming at his head, surrounded on all sides, he lacked room to maneuver.
Bam! After a burst of smoke, Nero found his kick landed on nothing. As he looked again, he discovered that Hu Jiu had reverted to his original form, transforming into his wolf form and performing a 360-degree spin in mid-air. A wave of cries immediately sounded. The attackers retreated in shock.
"Is this the symbiotic contract? This stinky dog actually acquired the same ability as Pei Yan." Shitang Longsi looked at his arm marked with fine blood lines. When Hu Jiu spun, the end of each hair on his body quickly extended into a thin and sharp source energy line, turning him into a highly rotating porcupine, catching everyone off guard and inflicting injuries.
Am I unable to defeat Pei Yan, and now even unable to match the dog beside him? The thought of this gap filled Shitang Longsi with unwillingness and anger.
As Shitang Longsi stood dumbfounded, Hu Jiu, while searching for targets, immediately set his sights on him. He was about to step forward and engage, but then abruptly stopped, as if disdainful of him, and turned to attack others.
