Chapter 969 Shameless Kneeling
As the remaining Minor Tiger Clan cultivators tried to run, giant ice shards began to appear from the bottom of the ground and magically from the top. Some of them tried to bash through them, hoping the ice shards would break upon impact. But instead, they felt a freezing sensation on contact, only to realise that the ice spread on their arms as if it was eating them up.
It was not a slow process either.
The ice was like oil catching on fire, spreading and taking over the bodies who had made contact with the shards. At the same time, it also slowly drains the chi out of the cultivators immobilising them in place...for the next set of attacks. And without a doubt, they were Ayse"s lightning bolts coming straight from the skies even though the weather was dry and s.h.i.+ny. The booming blasts scared the running cultivators even more as they tried to cower from them, but it was useless.
Most cultivators were instantly fried from the attack since it was a direct hit and only a few veterans managed to withstand it. Lightning Magic was somewhat a tier of superior magic in Jin"s world because of its speed and not many cultivators even these elites had seen enough to evade or have tricks to defend against it.
However, these cultivators should have died at the spot instead of struggling.
Flame Ripper was next in line as he conjured multiple fire dagger projectiles and with the System"s a.s.sistance, it targeted each and every cultivator that was still breathing after surviving the lightning attacks.
As the flaming daggers flew, they slowly turned into a ma.s.sive fireball which incinerated them upon impact. The only thing left was their frozen parts of their body which subtly indicated that the flames were not strong enough to melt the ice. (But at a closer look, there was some evaporation from the ice, and that itself was enough to allow Ifrit to have a little smirk, knowing his powers were not as inferior as s.h.i.+va thought it would be. Some sibling rivalry.)
With the distant screams, the Roaring Tigers knew that this ma.s.sacre would not be done until all of them were killed. The rest of the cultivators already had their knees shaking - in fact, they were already on their knees with all hopes gone. However, Hao Pai did not go down to his knees hopelessly. Instead, he faced the mansion and placed his head down to the Tiger Clan"s Family.
"Please Big Boss Yuan Ba save us from this predicament! Boss Yang Rong! Boss Yang Hui!" Hao Pai shamelessly kept prostrating and banging his head on the ground. He does not want to die despite all the boasting he did previously. "I will pay! I will pay for your services! Boss Yang Hui!! Boss Yang Rong!! Please lend me your strength!!" He shouted desperately when he could hear his subordinates got killed in cold blood without much resistance.
"Hah! My fees won"t be cheap!" Yang Rong said as he landed right beside Hao Pai and pushed a few of the Farming World Humans who had accompanied the big names minions to this fight. (After all, they needed some experience in fighting to join their world"s war in the future.)
"You have to pay twice the standard fees for this impromptu contract." Yang Hui followed suit as he tried to kick Drex from coming near Hao Pai.
The Dark Elf Leader had already predicted where Yang Hui would land and thought he could quickly annihilate one of the Royal Zodiac Tiger Brothers before they joined forces, but it seemed Yang Hui had the upper hand in terms of power. (Drex could have increased his strength at that time but he suddenly heard a sly whisper to withdraw while keeping the act up and leave the rest to Jin.) The impact itself was explosive enough that it caused wind, dust and even some of the nearby corpses to fly away.
"Heh. For an older looking body guard like you to still have the strength to withstand me, you are no ordinary a.s.sa.s.sin." Yang Hui said as he saw his legs were blocked with Drex"s palms.
"You over compliment this old man. I am just trying my best to serve my master." Drex said as he moved his body inward without lifting his legs. Yang Hui instantly did a roundhouse kick in order to turn his body and avoid the incoming attack that Drex was doing.
He then released an advanced technique of the Royal Tiger Cultivation, Tiger Quartet Blast, sending four ma.s.sive silhouettes of Tiger Heads in fiery orange chi towards Drex as he backed away. Yang Hui later smirked knowing that even a master in martial arts would have no chance winning this if their chi and body were not strong enough to handle the attack.
Unfortunately, the Tiger Head Silhouettes continued to move forth to the distance and dissipate when it hit upon one of the Garden"s wall, breaking them into pieces. That was when Yang Hui returned towards his 2nd brother"s side and noticed that the old man was still well and alive. And all he did was to adjust his coat because a loose string was burnt from the attack.
"Ahh, I have to tell Zhi Nu to weave a little tighter for my coat. I guess she did not expect me to move this much." Drex said to himself as he slowly walked back to behind Jin, seeing that he had to comply to that whisper no matter what.
"I guess I have to triple my standard fees, Mr Hao Pai." Yang Rong noticed the fight his elder brother was in and could already judge the standard this particular group of black suits were on. They initially thought that the group was easy picking like Hao Pai did but seeing how they ma.s.sacre almost everyone with ease, they felt it was the minor clans just being a too weak a group. But now with his underling able to dodge Yang Hui"s advanced grade technique showed that they are more than just trained professional bodyguards.
Unlike the clan veterans who been through war and military jobs, these two tiger brothers lived a life of training and fixed match brawls. They could not measure or feel the fear these veterans did, and that was their downfall. Surely, the minor clan veterans wanted the Royal Tiger brothers to win these, but to some extent, they could not help but to root the black suits too. After all, they basically extorted them in the face of immense danger their leader was facing, and it was downright despicable.
"Father!" Yang Ling shouted at Yuan Ba to do something to the current situation or else, her brothers might be killed. She knew the cycle of hate this family had acc.u.mulated and even though she disliked her brothers, having Jin being hated by them could only cause more chaos and obstacles to build an amicable relations.h.i.+p with the dungeon supplier which everyone was dying to get their hands on.
"They always wanted to prove themselves. So why not let them?" Yuan Ba said as he spread his hands over the railings and now watched whether Jin was going to make a move. For he knew how his sons would demand a 1 to 1 duel against the Panda master himself... that is if they are honourable enough.
