Chapter 6639 Swearing Loyalty to the Death?
The battle intensified.
Even Xiao Chen made a move. Although he didn't use the Xuanyuan Blade, he took out the Bone Blade and killed seven or eight powerful figures in a row.
Wherever he goes, no one can stop him!
Many of the cannon fodder were initially hesitant, but seeing Huang Sanyu charging ahead, they had no choice but to follow suit.
What if Qiao Hong is lying?
After all, Huang Sanyu was right. He was already the vice leader, so there was no reason for him to betray the sect!
Little did they know, the Huang Sanyu in front of them was a fake.
"Retreat, activate the grand formation..."
Qiao Hong was covered in blood, staggering, and barely able to hold on.
He was targeted by the giant snake. If it weren't for his great strength, he would have been devoured by the snake long ago!
"It's time to finish."
The giant snake looked at Qiao Hong and spoke in human language.
The next second, its enormous body rapidly shrank, moving with lightning speed, and it was instantly in front of Qiao Hong.
"not good."
Qiao Hong's expression changed drastically; he wanted to retreat again, but it was too late.
He instinctively raised the knife, but felt a tightness in his wrist, as if something was choking him.
Before he could look down, a sharp pain shot through his throat.
"what!"
Qiao Hong screamed in agony as a bloody hole appeared in his throat.
Fresh blood gushed out from the wound.
Swish.
The giant snake launched its second attack; its long, thin tail, like a steel whip, lashed fiercely into Qiao Hong's chest.
The severely injured Qiao Hong was no match for him and was sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground.
boom.
A dull thud echoed, and Qiao Hong felt as if all the bones in his body were about to break.
His vision blurred, he had trouble breathing, and his chest felt like it was about to explode.
"No, I can't die here, I..."
Qiao Hong shook his head vigorously, and his vision finally became clearer.
But the next second, he was filled with despair.
A gaping, blood-red maw appeared before him, and then... everything went black, and excruciating pain erupted.
Click.
Before he died, Qiao Hong only heard this sound.
That's the sound of his skull shattering.
Xiao Chen glanced at Qiao Hong, who had been swallowed by the giant snake, and smiled coldly. With him dead, the Tiger Cliff branch was finished.
However, he did not publicize the news of Qiao Hong's death, because if the Tiger Cliffs knew that Qiao Hong was dead, their morale would definitely be shaken, and they might even surrender.
This is not what he wants.
What will happen to these cannon fodder if the Tiger Cliff branch surrenders?
What he wanted was for both sides to fight to the death, preferably to perish together, saving him the trouble of doing anything else.
Even if Xiao Chen hadn't said anything, there were still some powerful figures at the Tiger Cliff branch who had seen it.
When they saw that Qiao Hong was dead, they panicked and tried to escape, but they couldn't.
The major beast kings, in particular, had been thirsting for blood for far too long. The essence of humans, especially the essence of powerful humans, was a great tonic for them.
If they hadn't promised Xiao Chen, they would have started devouring humans as soon as they left the Heavenly Abyss.
Now that we finally have a chance, we can't let them escape again.
"Hehe, finally I can eat my fill."
The troll was the most excited. It transformed into a colossal creature and, too lazy to use any special powers, simply and brutally smashed the person away before swallowing them whole.
It doesn't defend itself, letting countless attacks fall on it as if it's just scratching an itch.
In such a short time, it has already eaten dozens of people.
"Brother Mo, we can also find a chance to eat the people we brought."
Seeing that the cannon fodder he brought was gaining the upper hand, Xiao Chen secretly sent a telepathic message to the troll beast.
"Good good."
The troll responded and, without distinguishing friend from foe, crushed the enemy.
Actually, it had secretly killed quite a few people from its own camp earlier, and it was afraid that Xiao Chen would find out while it was eating. But now that it had received Xiao Chen's order, it was free to do as it pleased.
"Ah, don't kill me..."
Someone screamed in despair, but before he could finish, he was swallowed by the troll.
Those around were so frightened that they retreated one after another. Had this beast king gone mad? Could it not distinguish friend from foe?
Upon seeing this, the troll immediately chased after it, nibbling at its little cutie.
"Master Huang, this Beast King is no longer distinguishing between friend and foe..."
someone yelled.
"Huh? What's going on?"
Xiao Chen pretended to look over, his expression changing slightly.
"It must be because of too much killing that it has become so ferocious. What should we do... Everyone, stay away so you don't get hurt."
About fifteen minutes later, the battle was nearing its end.
Most of the people at the Tiger Cliff branch were dead, and the rest were injured and lay in pools of blood.
It wasn't that they didn't want to surrender, but that they realized they would still face death even if they did.
Since that's the case, then we have no choice but to fight to the bitter end, killing one and making a profit.
The strong warriors on Tiger Cliff fought desperately, but the cannon fodder also suffered heavy losses, with more than half of them dying.
Fortunately, they won.
"Survived."
Some people were terrified when they saw the blood all over the ground.
It was a chaotic battle just now. Not only did the Beast King not distinguish between friend and foe, but they were all in a bloodthirsty frenzy. Except for those they knew very well, they just grabbed their swords and started hacking away at everyone else.
"Master Huang..."
Several powerful figures approached Xiao Chen, looked at him, and wanted to ask him something, but they swallowed their words back.
They dared not ask.
First, Huang Sanyu's identity is what it is; second, things have already come to this point, so even if Huang Sanyu really betrays the sect, they would still be considered accomplices.
If that's the case, then what's the point of asking?
"how?"
Xiao Chen raised an eyebrow, naturally knowing what they were thinking, but it didn't matter anymore; these cannon fodder were no longer of any value.
Next, he prepared to get rid of these cannon fodder.
"Master Huang, we... swear to be loyal to you to the death!"
An old man hesitated for a moment, then knelt on one knee and shouted.
He realized that regardless of whether Huang Sanyu betrayed the religion, he had no choice but to follow him to the bitter end.
Otherwise, even without the Holy Heaven Sect killing him, Huang Sanyu would not have let him go.
At this point, pledging allegiance is the best outcome.
The other powerful figures were taken aback at first, but then they realized what was happening and immediately followed suit.
If we take a gamble, there might still be a way out.
Xiao Chen was quite surprised by their attitude; they seemed to be intelligent people.
That makes sense; someone who has risen to such a position in the Holy Heaven Sect can't be a fool.
The fool died a long time ago.
"Swear to be loyal to me to the death?"
As a series of thoughts flashed through his mind, Xiao Chen asked with a half-smile.
"...Yes, I swear to be loyal to Leader Huang to the death!"
The old man nodded, his words resounding.
"very good."
Xiao Chen nodded in satisfaction. Since these cannon fodder were so cooperative, he didn't mind giving them a way out for the time being.
After all, there are even tougher battles to fight ahead.
"Here, eat this. After the next battle, I will detoxify you."
Xiao Chen took out a porcelain bottle and handed it over.
"The poison has been neutralized. Your life and death are no longer in the hands of others, but of this old man... So think it through before you eat."
"Yes."
The old man took the porcelain bottle, and without any hesitation, poured out a poison pill and swallowed it.
