Chapter 266: Subduing the Celestial Dragon Camp
However, this time, the result was exactly the same!
With just a dull THUD, Nie Zhongtian was sent flying again!
Nie Zhongtian struggled to get up, but he was already severely injured after being knocked away twice in a row.
BLEGH!
Nie Zhongtian violently spat out a large mouthful of blood and collapsed limply to the ground!
Cheng Yuan stood with his hands behind his back as if he’d just done something trivial. He said coolly, "Too weak. And you have the nerve to call yourself the strongest in the Celestial Dragon Camp? Just come at me all at once. Don’t waste this Young Marshal’s time."
The warriors’ faces instantly turned ashen with fury!
The First Squad’s Captain, Pei Jian, roared, "He’s a tough one! Everyone, together! Grandmasters, fall back! All Martial Kings, form an array!"
"ROAR!!"
Over a dozen Martial King experts immediately formed an array, completely surrounding Cheng Yuan.
Cheng Yuan rolled his eyes, utterly speechless. ’If these guys hadn’t formed an array, dealing with over a dozen Martial Kings would have actually taken some effort.’
’But they actually chose to form an array.’
’And an array riddled with hundreds of flaws at that...’
Cheng Yuan had gained profound mastery of arrays from the Celestial Witch Inheritance, and he could see at least dozens of openings.
Without hesitation, Cheng Yuan charged through the Life Gate, launching a ferocious attack against several of the flaws!
In just a few dozen seconds, the warriors’ formation was completely shattered!
Cheng Yuan was like a peerless Divine General, charging in and out seven times!
Two minutes later, all the Martial Kings were on the ground, looking at Cheng Yuan with expressions of awe.
The warriors were simple folk. When they didn’t respect you, you were a piece of shit. But when they did, you were their god.
At this moment, no one dared to doubt Cheng Yuan’s strength. The ordinary warriors watching from the sidelines began to roar!
"Young Marshal! Young Marshal!!"
"The Young Marshal is mighty!!"
"The Young Marshal is divine!!"
Even the dozen or so Martial Kings who had been knocked to the ground shouted, "Young Marshal! We submit! You are worthy of being the supreme commander of our Celestial Dragon Camp!"
The corners of Cheng Yuan’s mouth turned up slightly. He recalled an old saying in the Dragon Country: combine grace with force.
He had already displayed his force; now it was time to show his grace.
Cheng Yuan pulled out a handful of Qi Enhancement Pills and announced in a deep voice, "All warriors at the Martial King level and above may receive one Qi Enhancement Pill from this Young Marshal! This Young Marshal intends to forge a Celestial Dragon Camp composed entirely of Martial Emperor experts!"
’Qi Enhancement Pills?’
The eyes of every warrior lit up!
The Martial King warriors quickly lined up to receive their pills. The first to receive a pill was Nie Zhongtian; after all, he was the most heavily injured, and the other warriors looked out for him.
Nie Zhongtian thanked Cheng Yuan profusely and respectfully accepted the Qi Enhancement Pill. Then, Nie Zhongtian couldn’t help but stare, his eyes wide!
"Heavens! A Three Patterns Qi Enhancement Pill?? The Young Marshal is giving us Three Patterns Qi Enhancement Pills??"
What?
A Three Patterns Qi Enhancement Pill?
All the warriors erupted into an uproar!
"The Young Marshal is just too much! I heard that only the Old Dragon King and the Old Valley Master of Medicine Valley can refine Three Patterns Qi Enhancement Pills! And the failure rate is extremely high! If one were sold at auction, it would be worth over two billion!"
Even the Dragon Lord and the Dragon Head were green with envy!
’Holy shit! The pills Cheng Yuan refined are actually Three Patterns Qi Enhancement Pills?’
’If I had known earlier, I would have shamelessly asked for a few just now!’
Nie Zhongtian quickly waved his hands. "Young Master, the Three Patterns Qi Enhancement Pill is too valuable! This subordinate cannot accept it!"
Cheng Yuan said coolly, "There’s no precedent for this Young Marshal taking back something he’s given away. If you don’t want it, just throw it in the trash. This Young Marshal has plenty more."
Nie Zhongtian’s pupils flickered. He quickly made up his mind and dropped to the ground with a THUD!
"Young Marshal, from now on, you are my, Nie Zhongtian’s, Young Master! I, Nie Zhongtian, am loyal to the Dragon Country, but I am also loyal to you, Young Master. I am your private soldier!"
Cheng Yuan quickly helped Nie Zhongtian up, feeling more and more satisfied the more he looked at him. "Nie Zhongtian, you’ve done well!"
Cheng Yuan continued distributing the Three Patterns Qi Enhancement Pills. Soon, all the Martial Kings had received one, and every one of them was deeply grateful to Cheng Yuan.
Cheng Yuan said in a deep voice, "As long as you all follow this Young Marshal’s lead, there will be plenty of Three Patterns Qi Enhancement Pills! Perhaps in the near future, this Young Marshal will even refine Four or even Five Patterns Qi Enhancement Pills! I will make all of you Martial Emperors!"
SHUFFLE!
All the Martial Kings knelt at once, roaring in unison!
"The Young Master is mighty!"
"The Young Master is formidable!!"
Hearing this form of address, Cheng Yuan was inwardly ecstatic. ’All the mid-to-high-level officers of the Celestial Dragon Camp have now pledged their loyalty!’
’And all it cost him was a few Three Patterns Qi Enhancement Pills.’
However, Cheng Yuan didn’t want to leave out the ordinary warriors either.
Cheng Yuan scanned the surroundings and announced loudly, "Warriors, all of you, rise! Time was short, so I was only able to refine a few Three Patterns Qi Enhancement Pills, enough only for the Martial Kings. The next time this Young Marshal returns, everyone at the Grandmaster level and above will receive a Three Patterns Qi Enhancement Pill!"
SHUFFLE! SHUFFLE!
All the ordinary warriors dropped to their knees, roaring in unison!
"Long live the Young Master! We swear to serve the Young Master to the death!"
Cheng Yuan made a lifting gesture with both hands, and the warriors all stood up, gazing at him with fanatical eyes. If Cheng Yuan were to order them to die, they would not hesitate for a second!
Cheng Yuan said in a deep voice, "Everyone, dismiss! Be sure to cultivate diligently! This Young Marshal will return soon to check on your cultivation progress!"
"Yes, sir!"
The warriors quickly dispersed.
Li Baizhan and Yang Qianhuan hesitantly shuffled over.
"Well, uh, Junior Brother, why didn’t you tell your Senior Brother sooner that you refined Three Patterns Qi Enhancement Pills? Your Senior Brother has been stuck at a bottleneck for half a year. With the help of a Three Patterns Qi Enhancement Pill, maybe..."
"Hehe, Junior Brother, I have a bit more shame than your First Senior Brother. I can buy them. How about we go by the market price, two billion for one?"
Cheng Yuan laughed. "Second Senior Brother, you’re making me lose face! How shameless would I have to be to ask you for money? I’ve already prepared your shares!"
As he spoke, Cheng Yuan took out six Three Patterns Qi Enhancement Pills and stuffed three into each of their hands.
Li Baizhan and Yang Qianhuan felt a warmth spread through their hearts. ’Junior Brother is so generous!’
With six Three Patterns Qi Enhancement Pills, both of them had a chance to break through to the next minor realm!
Li Baizhan, in particular, was filled with self-reproach. When he had just learned that Cheng Yuan possessed the Celestial Witch True Body, he had even suggested to the Old Dragon King that they should perhaps eliminate Cheng Yuan.
’It seems now that Junior Brother is incredibly forthright and generous, fundamentally different from those selfish, insidious, and cunning Demon God’s Descendants.’
Li Baizhan secretly made a resolution. ’From now on, I will be Junior Brother’s strongest Guardian!’
’Anyone who wants to harm Junior Brother will have to get through me first!’
"First Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, I have a free-spirited personality and can’t stand being tied down. On a normal day, I’ll have to rely on you to help me look after the Celestial Dragon Camp."
The two nodded without hesitation. "No problem."
"Then we’ll take our leave."
"Junior Brother, this is your token. As the Young Marshal of Dragon Flame, you can mobilize all the warriors of the Dragon Flame Branches! Furthermore, you have a degree of authority over the major garrison corps."
