Chapter 55: Betting Agreement, Divine Heir's Successor
"It was only a matter of time before we met. After waiting for more than two months, they finally returned," Lei Dong said.
The group of six quickly exited the city of Loulan and headed towards Yang Chen's location.
"Leader, they have come out. Should we continue on or wait?" Zhan Tao asked.
"We'll wait here for them; there are some matters to handle outside the city," Yang Chen replied lazily.
The Shadow Kill Team stopped in place, and Yang Chen quietly awaited the arrival of the Divine Heir. About a minute later, the group of six appeared before Yang Chen. "You are Yang Chen?" Lei Dong inquired.
Yang Chen looked at the six powerful fighters before him and said, "That's right, I am Yang Chen. What can I do for you six?" he replied lazily.
"It's nothing major; we just came to meet you," Lei Dong said arrogantly.
"Oh? Your purpose for coming isn't just to meet me, is it? Your elders probably have other instructions," Yang Chen remarked.
"You..." Lei Dong felt momentarily frustrated.
"Lei Dong, let me handle this," Long Xin stepped forward, signaling Lei Dong to step back and take over the conversation. "Zhan Tao, your sister is here; aren't you going to come out and see her?" Long Xin said, looking at Zhan Tao in the crowd.
"Leader." Zhan Tao glanced at Yang Chen, who subtly nodded, then stepped forward and said, "Sister Long." Only after receiving Yang Chen's signal did Zhan Tao dare to respond; it seemed that Yang Chen had some influence, Long Xin realized.
"Xiao Taozi, is it true that if your sister doesn't call you, you won't come out to see her?" Long Xin teased with a smile. Since childhood, Zhan Tao had grown up in the palace of the Earth Continent and had never been outside. He had only seen Long Xin among the Divine Heir members, and she was his only playmate.
"Of course not. Why has sister come this time? Surely it's not just to see her little brother?" Zhan Tao asked cleverly.
Long Xin chuckled and said, "Well done, Xiao Taozi; you've learned how to flatter your sister. Alright, I'll be straightforward with you. The elders at home want us to check on you as the leader. If everything goes well, we will support him and follow his orders."
"Ha ha, sister, then you can talk to my leader. This is not something I can decide. If there's anything, we can discuss it tonight." After saying this, Zhan Tao retreated back into the crowd as if apologizing.
"You already know our intentions, so speak up. What do you want to do?" Lei Dong said to Yang Chen.
"This question should be directed at you. You've seen and talked about it. If you think it's feasible, stay. If not, feel free to leave. Why are you asking me?" Yang Chen replied lazily.
"You. Fine, then I'll present my opinion." Lei Dong was momentarily irritated but then calmed down and said, "You are only at the Fighting Spirit realm now and don't have the qualifications for me to help you. However, my old man has given orders that I must follow. Let's have a duel; if you win, I will serve you. If you lose, I will have a reason to go back. How about that?"
"This proposal is not bad, but you are a Two-Star Fighting King and I am a Three-Star Fighting Spirit. Do you think a duel is meaningful? I don't want to bully you. Moreover, once I make a move, my sword will taste blood," Yang Chen said sternly.
"You bully me? Hmph, that's ridiculous. How about we play a game? Since your sword will taste blood, let's bet our lives! If I die, it's not your fault; if you lose, I won't take your life either. How about that?" Lei Dong said angrily. Who could tolerate a Fighting Spirit saying they didn't want to bully a Fighting King?
"Brother Lei Dong, that's not acceptable," Zhan Tao interjected.
"When the leader was at the Three-Star Fighting Master realm, he killed a Three-Star Fighting King. You now..." Although Zhan Tao had never seen Lei Dong, as a fellow Divine Heir, it was good to remind him. Moreover, if the leader really defeated Lei Dong in front of so many people, it would undoubtedly lead to his death!
"Impossible! A Fighting Master can kill a Fighting King? I don't believe it!" Lei Dong shouted angrily. Not only did Lei Dong not believe it, but the others also found it hard to accept. However, they had to consider Zhan Tao's words.
Yang Chen summoned the Dragon Silk Sword and said in a deep voice, "I don't need your belief." He fixed his gaze sharply and asked coldly, "Do you still want to fight?" At the same time, he swung the Dragon Silk Sword and thrust it in front of Lei Dong.
"Bang bang bang." Lei Dong staggered back three steps and would have fallen if Xiao Yu hadn't supported him.
Yang Chen's last four words used the fourth-turn skill of the Demon God Strategy—Demon God's roar shook the heavens—resulting in a soul attack that left Lei Dong pale. Faced with Yang Chen's questioning, he stammered, "I... I..."
"Think carefully; if I make a move, my sword will taste blood!" Yang Chen said coldly.
"Alright, Lei Dong. Step aside. Yang Chen, we acknowledge that you have the strength to kill a Fighting King. However, we have six Fighting Kings while you only have two; if we really tear our faces apart, it won't be good for anyone," Long Xin said. Unconsciously, Long Xin became their leader.
"Ha ha, miss is joking. With just the six of you, do you think you can eliminate my Shadow Kill Yongbing team?" Jiang Nan's voice came from the horizon. The next moment, Jiang Nan and Xie Yao appeared before Yang Chen and the others.
“Demon Emperor?” Long Xin felt a pang of bitterness in his heart. He originally intended to use coercion to get Yang Chen to give him a way out, allowing both sides to take a step back, while he and his group could settle in the Shadow Kill Puppet Corps. But at this moment, two Demon Emperors appeared, disrupting the balance.
“Greetings, Leader. We have lived up to expectations and successfully completed our mission a month ago. Now, the atmosphere in Loulan City is tense, with everyone on high alert.” Jiang Nan and Xie Yao approached Yang Chen, completely disregarding their identities as Demon Emperors, kneeling on one knee and respectfully speaking.
“Third Legion Commander and Deputy Commander of the Sky Kill Camp, you’ve worked hard.” Yang Chen stepped forward and helped them up.
“It’s our duty. Leader, what is this? I just heard someone is challenging my Shadow Kill Puppet Corps?” Xie Yao said sharply. The respect shown by Jiang Nan and Xie Yao towards Yang Chen startled Long Xin and the others, who immediately became vigilant again. When Xie Yao inquired, they quickly clarified their position, saying, “Yang Chen, don’t misunderstand. We were sent by Elder Yi, and we mean no harm.”
“Elder Yi? Is that Mr. Yi Tianzheng?” Yang Chen asked.
“Yes, it is indeed Yi Tianzheng, my Grandfather,” Thunderous Movement quickly replied.
“Words alone are not enough to convince me. Do you have any proof? No, even if you had proof, I wouldn’t recognize it.” Yang Chen frowned. Then Yang Chen discovered that the originally fully realized Xiao Tian now only had the strength of a Seven-Star Fighter, while he himself miraculously also possessed the power of a Seven-Star Fighter! He revealed a knowing expression: “I believe you. However, since you just challenged my Shadow Kill Puppet Corps, let’s make a bet. How about a duel below the Demon King Realm?”
Hearing that Yang Chen wanted proof, Long Xin felt uneasy. However, in an instant, Yang Chen believed in him and proposed a duel. This forced him to reconsider. But he couldn’t back down either; otherwise, he would be mocked for not daring to accept the challenge as a Divine Heir: “What do you want to bet on?”
“We each send five people and have five matches; how about best two out of three?” Yang Chen said lazily.
“Alright! Our Divine Heir has never feared anyone! Not even death!” Everyone from the Divine Heir responded eagerly.
“You have spirit; I like that. Truly worthy of being a Divine Heir. However, since we’re betting, we need to set stakes. If we win, you must acknowledge me as your leader. How does that sound?” Yang Chen said lazily.
