Compared to the recently rising Ye Family, the Han Family, which has been operating in Flame Sun City for decades, is far superior in both heritage and strength. Just the fact that numerous experts capable of harnessing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy stand behind Han Liu speaks volumes, not to mention that the Han Family surely has some hidden strengths.
Ye Huan was more aware of this than anyone else. However, since he dared to bring Zhang Ren to the Han Family, he must have come prepared.
Thus, when he heard Han Liu say those words, Ye Huan calmly pressed his hand on page sixteen of the 2012 Arms Compendium, fearing that Han Liu might suddenly attack without giving him any chance to resist.
As expected, Ye Huan's guess was correct. No sooner had Han Liu finished speaking than his figure began to distort at the spot where he stood, leaving behind an afterimage. His true form, clad in a black robe, transformed into a black streak that charged straight at Ye Huan. The speed was so fast that the black robe whipped up a fierce wind, even producing a piercing howl!
In Han Liu's hand, Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy converged and quickly materialized into a super long spear about five zhang long. The spear was completely white and crystal-clear, radiating a pressure akin to the sword energy of a Ninth Level Warrior. As he wielded this spear, Han Liu's movements became increasingly swift, as if he had already become one with the weapon.
Having long suspected that Han Liu was not to be trifled with, Ye Huan was grateful for his preparations. Just as Han Liu was about to reach him, Ye Huan pressed down hard on the image on page sixteen of the 2012 Arms Compendium. A surge of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy erupted from the book and gathered before Ye Huan, forming a steel plate nearly seventy centimeters thick that directly blocked Han Liu's spear.
Surprised and momentarily stunned, Han Liu gripped the spear formed from Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy and pushed it forward again. To his astonishment, the spear penetrated about thirty centimeters into the steel plate but could advance no further.
However, it seemed that Ye Huan's summoning was still not complete…
Along the surface of the steel plate, visible streams of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy continuously flowed out from the 2012 Arms Compendium, enveloping the edges of the plate and extending backward to encompass both Ye Huan and Zhang Ren.
Even beneath their feet, a layer of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy lifted Ye Huan and Zhang Ren off the ground, trapping them inside this square iron box. Then, at the forefront where Han Liu's attack had been blocked, a dark cannon barrel began to condense and elongate from the steel plate.
At the same time, around the box, sixteen wheels connected by tracks supported it off the ground. Atop it gathered an anti-aircraft machine gun. Most astonishingly, on one side of the iron box were printed small letters: "ZTC99 Main Battle Tank, Made in China."
"What is this thing?" Staring intently at the iron box before him were Han Liu—who had lived most of his life—and his two daughters. None of them recognized what Ye Huan had summoned. They all exclaimed in unison with expressions filled with astonishment. Some of the bolder servants even took a few steps forward to observe it closely…
At that moment, inside the ZTC99 Main Battle Tank, Ye Huan finally breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the armor continue to extend inward along the front steel plate. He thought to himself that page sixteen of the 2012 Arms Compendium featuring the ZTC99 Main Battle Tank was indeed a remarkable item; it had been equipped with new dual-reactive armor from the Twenty-First Century, boasting an astonishing thickness of about one meter.
A steel plate protection about one meter thick...
Thinking about this thickness, Ye Huan felt that those Ninth Level Warriors couldn't possibly be so abnormal unless they were using some high-damage attack. But where was this? It was the Han Residence! Han Liu would never be crazy enough to destroy the Han Residence along with Ye Huan unless he no longer wanted the Han family.
Considering that the current situation was relatively safe, it seemed that the only thing left for Ye Huan to do was negotiate with Han Liu. So, Ye Huan began searching inside the Type 99 main battle tank for any communication devices. However, the next second, Ye Huan witnessed a scene that sent chills down his spine...
Could a tank be operated without proper training? The answer was simple: of course not. At least, Ye Huan couldn't do it, so he was exceptionally cautious, trying not to touch any buttons inside the tank.
But what did Ye Huan see? He clearly saw Zhang Ren curiously looking around and even attempting to press a button!
"Don't!"
With a loud shout, Ye Huan lunged toward Zhang Ren. Unfortunately, it was already too late. With a loud bang, the entire Type 99 main battle tank seemed to shake backward. Outside, Han Liu and others who were curiously watching the tank were startled, especially when a shell fired from the cannon at the front of the tank, speeding toward a corridor in the Han residence with a loud noise, causing debris to scatter everywhere.
Turning his head in shock, Han Liu's face turned green with anger. He clearly saw that a large pit had appeared where a four-meter-tall golden eagle painting hung. This painting had been discussed between Ye Huan and Zhang Ren during Ye Huan's last visit, but now it was nowhere to be found...
On the other hand, the servants were not particularly interested in the Han family's golden eagle; they were more afraid of such powerful weaponry hitting them. One by one, they retreated hastily. Those with weaker nerves even ran away, not daring to stay another second.
Clenching his spear formed from Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy tightly in his hand, Han Liu attempted to launch an attack once again. But just like before, the spear penetrated the thick steel plate only to stop after a certain depth. Furious, he wanted to use 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin' to flatten everything nearby. However, he hesitated; after all, this was still the Han family—his home for many years. Thus, Han Liu could only angrily retract his spear and shouted into the tank, "Ye Huan, get out here! I want to talk!"
Through the communication device in the tank, hearing what Han Liu said and ignoring Zhang Ren who stood dumbfounded after firing a single shell, Ye Huan hurriedly searched for something to respond with. After a while, he found a device similar to a megaphone. Gripping it tightly in his hand, he shouted angrily: "You deceitful old man! Do you think I'm stupid? If I come out, will you still want to talk? As I said before, help me find my family and I'll pretend nothing happened between us. Otherwise... heh heh..."
As he spoke, Ye Huan pressed down on the button that Zhang Ren had just pressed earlier. To his surprise, after pressing for quite some time there was no response. Frantically looking around inside the tank, he discovered several shells lying at his feet; it turned out that this tank's cannon needed to be manually loaded...
While Ye Huan felt frustrated wondering why nothing summoned from the Summoning Book was fully automatic, outside Han Liu was nearly exploding with rage. Not only in Flame Sun City but throughout the entire Southern Xiongnu Empire, how many dared to call him an old man?
Biting his teeth in frustration, Han Liu truly felt like a mute eating bitter herbs, unable to express his grievances. If he were to blame someone, it would be himself for not adhering to the agreement between Han Xuan and Ye Huan. He had tried to win over Ye Huan but ended up completely provoking her instead.
Around him, the members of the Han family listened intently to what Ye Huan was saying through the loudspeaker, their ears almost twitching in disbelief. Could they have misheard? To insult a Ninth Level Warrior within a family as renowned as the Southern Xiongnu Empire was audacious beyond measure. Even Han Xuan and her sister Han Cai'er exchanged glances, unsure of how to respond.
Feeling the unusual silence outside, Ye Huan was somewhat puzzled. Wanting to gauge the situation, she realized she didn't know how to operate the stabilized sight on the Type 99 main battle tank. Instead, she grabbed the loudspeaker and shouted outside, "Han Liu, you old fool! Did you hear what I said? If you don’t respond soon, I won’t hesitate to flatten your Han family!"
Flatten your family? Who does she think she is?
As Ye Huan's voice echoed, that thought crossed the minds of everyone in the Han family. They wanted to mock her but then recalled how the Type 99 had obliterated part of the corridor from a distance. They all chose silence and turned their gazes toward Han Liu, who stood before the tank.
Feeling the weight of their stares, Han Liu was overwhelmed with an urge to find a hole to hide in. As a Ninth Level Warrior, being threatened by a Fourth-Level Summoner was humiliating. If word got out, where would he put his face? How could he ever show himself again?
But considering that Ye Huan might launch another attack at any moment made his head spin. Reluctantly, he chose to compromise and softly spoke into the tank, "Ye Huan, I promise you—whatever you ask, I will agree to it—as long as you don’t destroy my Han family. Is that acceptable?"
As he said this, Han Liu felt a flush creep onto his face. Yet when he thought about the reputation of his family and the money spent on building Han Residence, he felt somewhat better. He just hoped that Ye Huan's intrusion into the Han family wouldn’t leak out; if it didn’t, their reputation could still be preserved.
Agreed?
Inside the Type 99 main battle tank, Ye Huan was momentarily stunned by Han Liu's response. Then joy surged through her; without hesitation, she shouted back through the loudspeaker, "Great! As long as you agree to my requests, we can work together. Now, immediately send someone to find any members of my Ye Family!"
"Alright! I'll send someone right away!" Han Liu quickly agreed. However, he felt awkward talking to a square metal box. Frowning slightly, he pointed at the Type 99 and added, "So can you come out now and take this thing back?"
