At that moment, Su Deming moved swiftly and appeared directly in front of Mountain King Chu Yingxiong, shouting, "Jiang Han! Don't go too far!" I, the Western Chu Mountain King, can be defeated, but I cannot die!"
At the same time, those Martial Arts Grandmasters from Western Chu who were besieging Wei Yixiao and Yin Tianzheng turned to Su Deming, glaring fiercely at Jiang Han, clearly warning him not to go too far!
Jiang Han looked at his subordinates, his expression darkening as if it could drip water.
The Five Scatterers were doing alright; the five of them teamed up to attack a Martial Arts Grandmaster from Western Chu. Although it was somewhat strenuous, they had not suffered significant losses—only slightly disordered breathing due to excessive consumption of energy.
The Baghdad Zen Master faced three opponents alone; one of his wide sleeves was shattered, and the Buddhist beads he often twirled in his hand had broken apart, lost somewhere in the chaos of battle.
As for Yin Tianzheng, despite wearing armor, he was still heavily injured, blood oozing from the cracks in his armor.
The worst off was Azure Wing Bat King Wei Yixiao! This guy had a sharp tongue and managed to entangle five Martial Arts Grandmasters. He was being attacked and had lost several chunks of flesh from his hands and waist. The exposed white bones glistened under the sunlight like beautiful yet terrifying blood-colored jade!
Jiang Han stepped forward and coldly snorted, "Am I going too far? You all have injured my people like this; isn't that going too far?"
Especially Wei Yixiao's injuries could no longer be described simply as "serious."
"Stop your nonsense!" Su Deming was nearly driven to vomit blood by Jiang Han's shameless words!
Both sides had suffered casualties. They from Western Chu had also lost several Martial Arts Grandmasters and dozens of late-stage Innate experts!
"Then let's continue fighting!" A dangerous glint flashed in Jiang Han's eyes. Now that the opponent's Nether Token was shattered and their secret techniques disrupted...
Fierce Weapon The Soul and Death Banner has been taken, and there are not many cards left to play!
Among the remaining people from Western Chu, if they desperately want to escape, Jiang Han naturally does not have the confidence to keep them all here. He is confident that he can still kill a few of them.
"Jiang Han, you don't think that our Western Chu Royal Family has only this level of strength, do you?" Su Mingde said as he fed a Sixth-Rank Treasure Pill to the unconscious Mountain King Chu Yingxiong and glanced at him.
If it weren't for the possible surprise attacks from Great Zhou and Great Qi, Western Chu wouldn't have deployed only this level of power in Xiliang Prefecture!
Even if Western Chu is weakened, it is still an ancient nation. If they are bullied too much and decide to retaliate, it could shake the entire Zongwu World!
Jiang Han naturally knows that Western Chu is not limited to this level of strength. This time, with Great Zhou and Great Qi putting pressure on Western Chu, it is indeed a timely opportunity.
Western Chu has long had the intention to annex the Western Regions, which is well known and cannot be hidden from Great Zhou and Great Qi.
If the Western Regions were still as fragmented as before, Western Chu could take the time to resolve internal conflicts before sending troops to the Western Regions. However, now that they have been integrated by Manichaeism, their momentum has greatly increased. How could Western Chu, which has long coveted the Western Regions, tolerate the existence of this roadblock called Manichaeism!
It can be said that even if Jiang Han does not take the initiative to invade Xiliang, Western Chu cannot help but make a move against the Western Regions; it just happens that Jiang Han acted first!
Jiang Han put away the Bloodthirsty Blade. He knows that attacking and killing Chu Yingxiong here is unrealistic; it would likely provoke those few old monsters of the Western Chu Royal Family, who are barely hanging on, to personally come after him.
So, feeling that he is not yet strong enough, Jiang Han simply said lightly: "No need to get too excited. I don't intend to kill him. However, if you from Western Chu cannot provide reasonable compensation for this matter, my side, Manichaeism, will not back down!"
You can keep talking nonsense! I clearly saw your regretful expression when you said you wouldn’t kill the Mountain King!
Su Dehan wanted to say something but held back, instead asking, "What compensation do you want?"
When he said this, Su Deming was almost gritting his teeth.
"You withdraw your troops, give me Xiliang Prefecture, and compensate me with a batch of Heavenly Genius Treasures!" Jiang Han casually listed a bunch of rare treasures from the Zongwu World.
Su Mingde's teeth ground together, his eyes filled with a desire to devour, and he spat out hatefully, "Fine!"
He was a close attendant of the Western Chu Emperor and represented the face of the Western Chu Royal Family to some extent. As he spoke these words, an overwhelming sense of humiliation surged within him.
Having been defeated by the Great Zhou and Great Qi, accepting reparations and territorial losses was one thing, but now he had to cede Xizhou to a newly unified Manichaeism!
He could already imagine the uproar in the Jianghu Martial World once the news spread, and how heavy the pressure would be on the Western Chu Royal Family. This would likely solidify the rumors of Western Chu's decline.
Jiang Han was somewhat surprised, astonished by Western Chu's wealth and by the audacity of this Chief Steward. He quietly reminded him, "You eunuch, can you make decisions?!"
In his view, although this eunuch was a Martial Arts Grandmaster with mediocre skills, he was still just a servant and should need to report to his superiors for approval.
Su Mingde was nearly driven to bloodshed by his words!
Yang Xiao knew that their leader had only a vague understanding of Jianghu matters, so he hurriedly leaned in to remind him, "Leader, that eunuch is not just a servant; he is also the Deputy Hall Master of the Western Chu Offering Hall and holds a bunch of official titles!"
