Chapter 862 - 862 On the Eve of the Duel, Winds Blew in From All Sides
862 On the Eve of the Duel, Winds Blew in From All Sides
Most within the Federation didn’t even know of the existence of the Special Operations Department.
This was because it wasn’t an organization that ordinary people knew about. Those who knew about it had a completely different reaction.
“He dared to accept such a hot potato? He’s really seeking his own death!”
“Does he really think that he’s invincible just because he has some strength? Even Divine experts wouldn’t dare to say that.”
“I’d like to see how badly he’ll be burned.”
“Sooner or later, he will follow in his instructor’s footsteps. Hmph, is it that easy to lead Special Ops?”
Many people who knew about the department’s functions were secretly talking in a strange way. Special Ops itself was something that offended people, not to mention that they were in charge of people that even the police and the army could not control.
It was impossible for the former head of Special Ops, Jeang Yuanbin, to have gone missing without this factor.
Before Chu Yunfan took office, the matter of find a new head for Special Ops was a big deal. However, most didn’t know what the head did, so the commotion slowly died down after two days.
Then, another big news came.
After the Third Crocodile Prince challenged a series of masters, his next challenge was no one else but the new clan leader of the Tang clan, Tang Siyu.
Without a doubt, this was another shocking news. There was no doubting the Third Crocodile Prince’s strength. According to his previous challenge style, his opponents were either dead or seriously injured, including women.
There were even conspiracy theories that the Third Crocodile Prince had caused the Federation to lose several peak Innate experts.
There was no better business than this.
What many people were more concerned about was whether Chu Yunfan, who was close to Tang Siyu, would appear. Third Crocodile Prince had made a bold statement to challenge Chu Yunfan, and now it seemed that his goal would not change.
Chu Yunfan didn’t appear when the Third Crocodile Prince attacked the Chu clan before, so it was hard to say if he would appear this time. After all, he had just taken over Special Ops, so there must be a lot of things to do.
At this moment, in the conference hall of the Jiang ancestral home, the new Jiang clan leader, Jiang Hongyu, was leading the group.
Although he had a high position within the Jiang clan, he was definitely not one of the core members. However, in just a few years, the Jiangs had suffered heavy losses. The previous clan leader, several elders, and many others of their family had died tragically one after another. Thus, he took the opportunity to become the new clan leader.
However, he wasn’t very thrilled after taking over the position. If it was in the past, he would’ve jumped for joy. But now, he felt like he was taking over a dangerous task.
In the past, those who could appear in this conference room were all the top experts of the Jiangs in their prime. But now, there were already people of the eighth Innate Stage who could enter the Jiang clan’s Council of Elders. Even many of the elders of the older generation who had retired had been re-invited.
Compared to their Golden Age back then, the Jiangs’s combat strength had dropped by more than a level.
If they were dragged out, people would think that the Jiangs only had these old, weak, sick, and disabled people left. Although it wasn’t that serious, they definitely didn’t have the imposing manner that they had before.
“Has that thing been sent to the Third Crocodile Prince?” Jiang Hongyu asked.
“I’ve already sent it. If he shows up, I’ll let it go. If he doesn’t, I’ll kill that little b*tch Tang Siyu,” one the Jiang elders said with a sinister smile.
“But if Chu Yunfan appears, the Third Crocodile Prince may not be able to defeat him. According to our estimation, Chu Yunfan’s strength is even stronger than ordinary Divine expers,” another elder said.
“Hmph, that’s the key. It’s good if the Thrid Crocodile Prince can kill him. But on the other hand, if he can’t defeat Chu Yunfan and is killed by him instead, it’s also good. Chu Yunfan will end up provoking the Blood Crocodiles. He will surely perish then,” Jiang Hongyu said with a cold smile. “It’s not appropriate for us to act rashly before the Great Ancestor returns, but we can’t put all our hopes on him. So what if that Chu Yunfan is powerful? He has angered everyone and has to die even if he doesn’t want to.
“Special Ops? I’d like to see when he’ll die!”
The Third Crocodile Prince was going to challenge the new clan leader of the Tang clan. The news of Tang Siyu was like a magnitude twelve earthquake, shaking the entire Federation.
Since he had defeated many masters in a row, the whereabouts of the Third Crocodile Prince had been the focus of everyone’s attention. Chu Yunfan, who had been in the limelight during this time, was more likely to be noticed in this battle. How could he not attract attention?
“Tang Siyu is in trouble. The Third Prince crocodile is not an ordinary person!”
“I don’t think so. Although Tang Siyu’s strength may not be as good as the Third Crocodile Prince’s, she has won ten battles and defeated many masters of the Tang clan to stabilize her position. How could she not put up any resistance?”
“Let’s go and take a look. Other than that monster Chu Yunfan, this is probably a battle between the strongest Innate experts!”
A swordsman opened his eyes wide and stood up from his cross-legged position. There was a huge wound on his body.
“The Third Crocodile Prince, I don’t believe that there is no one among us humans who can stop you!”
He was a master who had been defeated by the Third Crocodile Prince. He had been completely defeated.
Another old man dragged his heavily injured body toward the location of the battle.
…
The experts from all sides began to gather and headed toward the Tang clan.
In a sense, this also represented the battle between the marine folks and the human race. Humanity had lost so many times in a row, which was really embarra.s.sing.
And in the Tang clam, many people were surprised to find that many masters from all sides—the weakest of which was at least at the seventh Innate Stage—had gathered on their front steps. The ordinary masters were blocked and not allowed to enter as there was not much s.p.a.ce left for them. Even so, hundreds of people came from all over the Federation after hearing the news.
With hundreds of terrifying experts of the seventh Innate Stage and above gathered here, even with the strength and foundation of the Tang clan, they couldn’t help but be on full alert and moved cautiously.
Afraid that these people would cause trouble, hundreds of mechas rose into the air, not only to cheer for their clan leader, but also to monitor these top masters.
In the depths of the Tang ancestral home, the peak of a mountain was already filled with experts who had come to watch the battle. This mountain was protected by a barrier set up by the Tang Great Ancestor, which was enough for both sides to fight with all their strength without causing too much damage.
