Chapter 1284 - 1251: Gentlemen, We Meet Again
"Who do you want to kill?"
Four words, spoken with a very calm tone.
So calm that it was almost inaudible, easily overlooked subconsciously.
But somehow.
When Jun Shirong heard these four words, an inexplicable fear arose in his heart, unable to calm for a long time.
He suddenly looked towards the Border City.
"Aow~"
Guderian roared, sweeping past from inside the Border City.
And right at this moment.
A figure leaped onto the back of the Bone Dragon, rising with Guderian to face Jun Shirong and the others.
"Who is he?!"
Jun Shirong looked at the figure hidden behind the Magic Mask, and a sudden unease rose in his heart.
But when he noticed the three figures behind Guderian, his heart trembled violently.
Lin Yi stood atop Guderian’s head, appearing before Jun Shirong and his group, repeating the earlier words:
"Who do you want to kill?"
Meng Yin, who was already displeased after falling into a disadvantage earlier, was instantly filled with rage upon seeing Lin Yi appear:
"You brat, meet your doom!"
Obviously, Meng Yin mistook Lin Yi for the clone that caught him off guard earlier.
Before Meng Yin could strike, Jun Shirong had already sensed something was wrong:
"No!"
But when Jun Shirong wanted to intervene, he realized it was too late.
Because Meng Yin was already eager to prove himself.
A punch almost tearing through the void appeared instantly before everyone’s eyes.
Just as Lin Yi was ready, preparing to activate the skill [Eightfold Mirror], he was replaced by a silhouette in front.
The next moment.
A booming explosion, nearly deafening, echoed in Lin Yi’s ears:
"Boom!"
The powerful energy wave even pushed back Jun Shirong and Gongsun Yan.
But Lin Yi stood unharmed in the same spot.
He knew someone had taken Meng Yin’s strike for him.
As Meng Yin looked perplexed at the person now before him, two more people appeared on Lin Yi’s sides.
"Tier Nine Divine King!!!"
Though these people were hidden by cloaks, Jun Shirong could judge their strength by their aura.
At this moment, Jun Shirong couldn’t bring himself to smile.
He looked at the figure standing in front of Lin Yi, a deja vu flashed through his mind.
Suddenly!
He pointed at that silhouette, exclaiming in disbelief:
"Ling Yudao!!!"
He finally recalled where the familiarity came from.
As the figure in front of Lin Yi slowly removed the hood, Meng Yin was utterly shocked:
"It really is you Ling Yudao!"
Even more shocking scenes followed next.
As the three people behind Lin Yi removed their hoods one after another, Meng Yin was left in a daze:
"Jialan Emperor!"
"Old Ghost Ge!"
"What?! Zhong Heng you..."
Needless to say about Gongsun Bo, the Jialan Emperor.
Both Ge Jintai and Zhong Heng were powerful Divine Kings of the Jialan Empire.
Their strength was comparable to Jun Shirong and others.
At this moment, Jun Shirong could no longer hold back his shock:
"The Jialan Empire certainly has guts!"
He looked at the four Divine Kings from the Jialan Empire beside Lin Yi, incredulously saying:
"If anything were to happen, your Jialan..."
Jun Shirong’s original intention was to say that if the Jialan Empire lost four Divine Kings suddenly, how would they fight against his Ao Sheng Empire?
But thinking it over, he held back the words with difficulty.
Even though Jun Shirong didn’t speak them out, Gongsun Bo and the others could easily understand his implication.
To be honest.
Gongsun Bo was initially very anxious about his decision.
Because the number of Divine Kings in the entire Jialan Empire could be counted on one hand.
Yet they sent over a third of them this time.
If anything happened to these people, it would be a fatal blow to the Jialan Empire.
If the Ao Sheng Empire and the Purple Moon Empire found out, they definitely wouldn’t miss the opportunity to kick the Jialan Empire when it’s down, seizing its territories and resources.
Ultimately, Gongsun Bo chose to trust Lin Yi.
Trusting the first Divine Son of the Nine Nether Continent in tens of thousands of years, and the first Jialan King since the founding of the Jialan Empire.
The result was clear, he made the right gamble!
The brilliance of this world was far beyond his imagination.
Surpassing anything the current Nine Nether Continent could compare.
If possible...
Gongsun Bo first glanced at Lin Yi beside him, then turned to Jun Shirong, saying:
"I heard you wanted to kill the East Guardian King of my Jialan?"
The words were filled with raw killing intent.
Although Jun Shirong was unwilling, he wouldn’t fear because of a glance from Gongsun Bo.
The current situation brought four Divine Kings from both Ao Sheng and Purple Moon Empires.
The Jialan Empire also had four, but including Ling Yudao, the Pavilion Master of Linlang Pavilion, made it five.
Clearly putting Jun Shirong’s side at a disadvantage.
But the most crucial factor now wasn’t the struggle between the Three Great Empires; it was the city seizing war beneath their feet.
Satan J had made many promises to them as motivation.
Of course, these promises were not for free.
To achieve them, winning this city seizing war was essential.
But Gongsun Bo’s appearance left Jun Shirong and his group feeling helpless.
Truthfully, the strength among the Three Great Empires was well-known to all.
If it were just Gongsun Yan and Gongsun Bo, it might have been manageable.
Now two additional elders (Divine Kings) from the Jialan Empire and Ling Yudao, who was top-tier even among Divine Kings.
With their clear interference, Jun Shirong could already foresee the situation they would face.
Indeed!
Noticing Jun Shirong’s group hesitated for so long without taking action, the impatient Satan J followed up:
"What’s going on?"
"Why haven’t you acted yet!"
But as soon as he spoke, he noticed Ling Yudao and others facing him, glaring angrily:
"You!"
When Ling Yudao and his group removed their cloaks, their level information was displayed above their heads.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5... 5 Divine Kings!
And they were clearly on Lin Yi’s side!!!
Satan J was instantly dumbfounded:
"How is this possible!"
"What is going on here?"
Seeing the victory he was so confident in being suddenly disrupted, how could Satan J bear it?
He roared at Jun Shirong unwillingly:
"What did you promise me?"
"I must win this city seizing war!"
Satan J’s face was visibly agitated:
"Kill! Kill them all."
In his fury, Satan J hadn’t realized who he was facing now.
Jun Shirong, as the Prince of the Ao Sheng Empire, also a grand Tier Nine Divine King.
When had he ever been yelled at like this?
Especially not by someone he thought he could crush like an ant.
Ultimately, Jun Shirong restrained the impulse to kill Satan J on the spot, a dark expression pointing at Lin Yi saying:
"I only promised to help you kill that person."
"But you didn’t tell me they had five Divine Kings backing them."
Originally, Jun Shirong’s words of questioning Satan J stemmed from his displeasure, but Lin Yi’s faint laughter interrupted:
"You want to kill me?"
Then, under the horrified gaze of Jun Shirong, Lin Yi slowly removed the Magic Mask from his face.
After removing the mask, Lin Yi gave Jun Shirong and Meng Yin a meaningful smile:
"Gentlemen, we meet again."
