Chapter 037: The Threat of the Crimson Dragon
Li Mu quietly gave a thumbs up, his eyes filled with admiration. Coming up with such a perfect lie in such a short time was indeed not easy; no wonder Leader could handle Roxie. As someone once said, "Men are born to deceive women; their mouths are full of lies."
Yang Chen was about to explain something to Roxie when his expression changed, and he laughed as he said, "Red Dragon Brother, aren't you going to come in for a drink?"
"You brat, your perception is annoyingly sharp." As soon as he finished speaking, five figures appeared in front of Yang Chen.
"Red Dragon Brother, Brother Zhang Yang, Brother Yuan Qi, Brother Liu Xian, Tian Yi."
"Alright, you still play this game?" Crimson Dragon laughed and scolded.
Roxie exclaimed in surprise, "Soul Perception is stronger than my Nine-Star Dou Huang Realm?"
What Roxie didn't know was that Yang Chen already had a Soul entity in his mind; within a radius of five hundred meters, any movement would be clearly sensed by the Dragon Soul.
"I'm sorry, Leader. I lost the Shadow Killing Ring." Eagle Tianyi stepped forward and knelt on one knee, speaking bitterly.
"What happened?" Yang Chen said coldly but then realized his tone was off and calmly asked, "What occurred?"
"It’s like this." Eagle Tianyi recounted how he was robbed by the Blood Lion Puppet Corps. Yang Chen nodded; due to the presence of the Hexagram, everyone from the Shadow Kill Puppet Corps would not lie to Yang Chen.
"It's fine. The Demon God Ring has my Soul imprint; I can sense its existence. Since the Blood Lion Puppet Corps hurt you, they have no reason to exist."
"Thank you, Leader," Eagle Tianyi said respectfully.
"Brother, what a bold spirit! I like it. Ha ha." Liu Xian laughed heartily.
"Tian Yi, you go rest first. If you need anything, just say so. Someone will arrange it," Yang Chen said. "It can't be that Brother Liu Xian is right; being a bit arrogant is indeed true."
"Ha ha, Brother Yang Chen is being modest. It's only been three months since we last met, and you already have such a foundation. Just give you three more years, and what will happen?" Zhang Yang said with a smile.
"Yes, that's right. Give me three years, and we will take down the Bloodthirsty Puppet Legion," Yang Chen confidently replied.
"Uh, Brother Yang, you..." Zhang Yang was momentarily at a loss for words, feeling it could be summed up as: if you say Yang Chen is fat, he still breathes heavily.
"The reason I invited all of you here is to ask for three years' time. As long as the Bloodthirsty Puppet Legion doesn't interfere with the development of my Shadow Kill Puppet Corps during that time," Yang Chen explained.
"Oh? Brother Yang is so confident?" Crimson Dragon inquired.
"Do you remember when we first met and what my level was?" Yang Chen casually asked.
"Over six months ago, One Star Fighter," Crimson Dragon replied.
"I wonder if you remember what I accomplished back then?" Yang Chen asked again.
Hearing this, everyone from the Crimson Tooth Puppet Corps gasped in unison. After a moment, Crimson Dragon said, "I will help you secure three years. After three years, if you take down the Bloodthirsty Puppet Legion, I will give you the position of Captain of the Crimson Tooth Puppet Corps."
"Great! Three years from now, I won't let you down," Yang Chen said with a calm expression.
"Do you look down on our Crimson Tooth Puppet Corps?" Yuan Qi suddenly said, looking at Yang Chen's indifferent attitude.
"Yuan Qi," Crimson Dragon called out.
"In three years, too many variables can occur. Perhaps three years from now, my Shadow Kill Puppet Corps will not be inferior to the Crimson Tooth Puppet Corps," Yang Chen stated firmly.
"Alright, brother. We look forward to seeing the powerful you and your Red Tooth Puppet Brigade three years from now!" Crimson Dragon praised.
Young people should have a fighting spirit and a mentality to face challenges head-on.
"Four brothers, please take a seat. Today, let's not talk about anything else, just drink!" Yang Chen changed the topic and began to serve Crimson Dragon and the others.
"Alright, then we won't stop until we're drunk!" Crimson Dragon said loudly.
Roxie obediently got up and brought out dozens of jars of alcohol from the landlady, neatly pouring drinks for everyone.
"Sister-in-law, no need to be polite. We rough men will just drink straight from the jar," Crimson Dragon said with a smile.
"Regardless, this is the first time little sister is pouring drinks for all of you brothers, so you should show some appreciation," Roxie said playfully.
"Xier." Yang Chen frowned and said unhappily.
"Haha, Brother Yang Chen, it's fine. We should still show some respect to little sister. Cheers!" After saying that, he picked up the cup in front of him and downed it. Roxie rolled her eyes at Yang Chen, who helplessly shook his head and also drank from his cup. Just as he finished, a figure rushed in.
"Leader." When this person entered and saw everyone, he paused for a moment and respectfully said, "Captain, Third Captain, Brother Yuan Qi."
"Xie Yao, you're back? How was it?" Yang Chen asked.
Xie Yao glanced at Yang Chen and then at Crimson Dragon, seemingly unsure of what to do.
"Xie Yao, you are now part of the Shadow Kill Puppet Corps; you don't need to worry about us," Crimson Dragon said casually after taking a sip of his drink.
Xie Yao nodded, knelt on one knee, and respectfully said, "Leader." Zhang Yang, Yuan Qi, and Liu Xian looked surprised while Crimson Dragon was slightly taken aback but quickly returned to normal.
Yang Chen nodded and said, "Take a seat; there's no need to be overly formal in the city. What happened?" I guarded them to Slaughter City and returned, but just as I left for a moment, I sensed a Demon Emperor rapidly approaching Loulan City. Calculating the time, it should be almost there now.
"Yang Chen brat, you killed my brother. Today, I will use your head to honor my brother! Come out!!" A thunderous voice exploded above Loulan City.
"That came quickly," Yang Chen said, glancing at Crimson Dragon without any reservations.
"Let's go outside and take a look," Crimson Dragon replied calmly after finishing his drink.
In the blink of an eye, Yang Chen vanished. Sky was left with just a remark, "Ghostly Flash, Wind and Thunder Move."
"Brother Yang's combat skills are still so elusive," Liu Xian remarked with admiration.
"Who dares to ambush me!" Ying Long exclaimed in fear.
"Hmph, you still seem a bit slow to stir my inner fears."
"How could this happen?" Yang Chen said in surprise. Originally, after using Demon God Flash, Yang Chen immediately activated Deceptive Phantom Step to close in on Ying Long and launched an attack. However, Ying Long's reaction was swift; he blocked Yang Chen's Demon’s Kiss aimed at his neck with his sword. Although he blocked Demon’s Kiss, he was still affected by the fear effect. Nevertheless, under the fear effect, Ying Long managed to withstand Yang Chen's attacks, using his keen sense to keep Yang Chen firmly at a disadvantage.
Yang Chen gritted his teeth and used Demon God Flash to retreat from Ying Long's attack range. Soon after, Crimson Dragon and the others arrived in front of Yang Chen.
"Ding! Player Yang Chen is overly reliant on Deceptive Phantom Step and Backstab Throat Kiss skills. Special modification of skills is underway; please wait."
"I..." Yang Chen truly didn't know what else to say and could only sigh inwardly. He cursed in his heart, "Damn System." This was akin to playing a game where the System wouldn't allow a hero to possess skills that could take on ten opponents alone.
Ying Long regained his composure just as Crimson Dragon arrived beside Yang Chen.
