Chapter 096: Under My Command, Killing is Permitted!
A child? After all the ups and downs, he had lived for fifty or sixty years, yet here he was being called a child by someone who looked to be only around thirty. No matter how furious he felt inside, it was extinguished by Huang Batian's presence.
"Saint of Combat!" This was the only phrase in Shi Heng's mind.
"Alright, calm down and let's have a good talk. No need to resort to violence," Madman said. "I’m going drinking with Dominion; you handle things on your own. Don't provoke powerful people at random; I don't want to be cleaning up your mess every few days."
"Safe travels, Senior," Yang Chen said respectfully. Just the fact that Madman and his companion had resolved his Blood Fiend issue was enough for him to show respect.
"Let's go, time for drinks," Huang Batian shouted as he soared into the sky, followed by Madman.
"Now then, Senior, we really need to have a serious discussion," Yang Chen said.
"I am the fish on the chopping block; you are the butcher. What do you want to say?" Shi Heng sat down casually, showing no concern.
"Three months ago, you led ten thousand soldiers to attack Ancient Moon City, and now your entire army has been wiped out, right?" Yang Chen analyzed.
"What do you want to say?" Shi Heng asked.
"If you return to Zhang Gao's side, you won't be welcomed and will likely be blamed. Instead, why not come back with me? I can petition for you to be granted the title of Third-Rank Earl; that’s still possible," Yang Chen said lightly.
"Oh? Why would you help me?" Shi Heng asked expressionlessly.
"In government, especially in the military, without connections, one cannot rise high. Without support from one's own people, it won't work either. Just like today when I broke through your army's rear camp; how much of the actual military merit will fall on my shoulders?" Yang Chen analyzed.
"You want me to be your backing tree?" Shi Heng inquired.
"No, you're not qualified for that yet! I have Guardian Duke Chi Tianba's support; you're just a budding shadow that allows me to avoid hindrances from petty people within the military," Yang Chen replied.
"Then what do you want me to do?" Shi Heng said. "Come back with me, and I will prepare a military order for you. Then the higher-ups will grant you a title. At the same time, because of you, I will also be granted the title of Qianhu," Yang Chen said frankly.
"A military order? What do you mean?" Shi Heng asked.
"Li Qi," Yang Chen called out.
"Yes, young master." After speaking, he threw out two corpses from his storage ring, which were Shi Heng's subordinates, the two powerful fighters Wang Wen and Wang Xiao.
"Did you really kill them?" Shi Heng asked.
"It wasn't me, but you know them," Yang Chen said calmly.
"Could it be those two seniors from earlier?" Shi Heng said.
"Congratulations, you got it right, but there is no reward," Yang Chen said. "I'll give you a minute to think it over. Once you've made up your mind, recognize this Yongbing emblem as yours; otherwise, you'll join your subordinates." After that, he threw out an emblem from the Demon God Ring. Shi Heng reached out to catch it and without hesitation cut his index finger to let his blood drop on it to recognize it as his own. A hexagram that ordinary people could not see appeared on his forehead.
"Is that enough?" Shi Heng asked.
"Very good, but in the future, when we are alone, you must call me 'young master!'" Yang Chen said sternly.
"Yes, young master." Shi Heng didn't mind and replied respectfully.
"Let's go back now. Also, don't harbor any ill intentions; those two might be over ten thousand meters in the air. As long as you make any unusual moves, I can guarantee that the first to die won't be me," Yang Chen warned. Although there was a restraint from the mother star, he still felt it was better to clarify things.
"I understand, young master," Shi Heng said.
"Li Qi, go notify them that we are returning to camp," Yang Chen said lightly.
"Yes, young master," Li Qi replied respectfully. Twenty minutes later, a group of fourteen returned to Ancient Moon City. The soldiers at the city gate no longer obstructed Yang Chen. The fourteen of them went directly to the lord's mansion, where Lin Tingting and four other high-ranking officials were already waiting for them.
"Refer to Aoying Bo, everyone Marquis," Yang Chen said, slightly bowing, while only Shi Heng remained still.
"No need for excessive courtesy," Lin Tingting replied. "Is the one beside you Shi Heng? What is your intention in bringing him back?"
"To report to Aoying Bo. My subordinates were ordered to hunt down the enemy general. We caught up with the enemy forces eight hundred meters from here and engaged in a fierce battle, ultimately killing all three thousand eight hundred twenty-one of them. This is the enemy's official emblem!" Yang Chen said simply, after which he instructed Li Qi to bring out all the captured emblems and throw them on the ground.
"You're talking nonsense! You claim that you thirteen can kill over three thousand enemy soldiers?" One of the second-ranked officials suddenly jumped up and exclaimed.
"Oh? You don't believe it? May I ask your name?" Yang Chen inquired.
"I am Sun Gong," Sun Gong replied eagerly.
"You don't believe me?" Yang Chen said coldly.
"What? You little bastard want to question me?" Sun Gong shouted angrily.
"Those who insult my brothers shall face death!" Zhao Yu, Zhang Tian, Li Qi, Zhan Tao, and Xie Yao shouted in unison! This was the iron rule of the Shadow Kill Yongbing team! Moreover, Sun Gong had insulted their soul—Yang Chen!
"You bunch of bastards, have you gone mad? Do you want to kill me?" Sun Gong roared.
"Sun Gong, enough," Lin Tingting advised with a frown from her seat.
"Yes, Aoying Bo. Just wait for me," Sun Gong said viciously.
"Yang Chen, you..." Lin Tingting began to speak but was interrupted by Yang Chen, who turned to Shi Heng and asked, "Did you hear what my brother said?" Shi Heng subtly nodded, then quickly acted. In the moment of shock among the crowd, Sun Gong's head flew off, his eyes filled with disbelief and confusion as he stared at Yang Chen.
"Yang Chen, you are so bold! How dare you kill someone!" At this moment, even Lin Tingting was furious. Shi Heng's action was unexpected for her. Generally speaking, killing a lower-ranked martial artist from the same realm should be impossible to block at such close range. Among the five people in the room, one had already died; of the remaining four, Xiao Wentian and one third-ranked Marquis showed no reaction, while Lin Tingting and another second-ranked Marquis stood up to confront Yang Chen.
"Wait," Yang Chen said. "May I ask your esteemed surname?"
"Second wait, Shen Liang," Shen Liang said.
"Oh, Second Wait, if you don't want to die, keep quiet, or Sun Gong will be your fate!" Yang Chen said flatly.
"You." Shen Liang glanced at Shi Heng with fear and angrily sat down. Since the other party could kill Sun Gong in front of Lin Tingting, they could naturally kill him as well.
"Yang Chen, who gave you this power?" Lin Tingting said through gritted teeth, knowing she couldn't do anything to Shi Heng, so she refrained from acting.
"Oh? I wonder if this is enough?" Yang Chen said calmly, pulling out a blood-red object from the Demon God Ring and tossing it to Lin Tingting.
"Heavenly Kill Order?" Lin Tingting looked at Yang Chen with a strange expression and said skeptically.
"Guardian Duke Chi Tianba specially granted 'Heavenly Kill Order' to Yang Chen, allowing him to slay any disobedient soldiers in the army!" At this moment, Xiao Wentian stood up and said.
"Is that true?" Lin Tingting asked.
"You can choose not to believe it," Xiao Wentian replied.
Lin Tingting fell silent for a moment, returned the two Heavenly Kill Orders to Yang Chen, and said, "Let's consider this matter settled."
Yang Chen took the Heavenly Kill Orders, and said to Li Qi and the others, "Anyone under my command is authorized to kill!"
