Chapter 452: Don’t Let Jin Yaowei Die
“Alliance Leader Jin, please calm your anger. This… this was a wager you agreed to with Yu Luo earlier…”
A cautious woman beside Jin Yaowei hesitantly reminded him, trying to defuse the situation.
But Jin Yaowei was already burning with rage—how could he listen to reason now?
Fang Jian’s martial skills, given another ten years, would have made him the number one in the martial world. Jin Yaowei had always groomed him to be the next martial alliance leader.
His pride, his dedication, his hope—everything had been crushed by Yu Luo, leaving no room for redemption!
“Hah! What’s the point of reasoning with a group of criminals? There’s no need to abide by any rules with them!”
A man standing beside Jin Yaowei sneered, full of mockery.
“Exactly! Qiushan Niang, you’re too softhearted, speaking of honor with these people! That wench killed Fang Jian, a martial arts prodigy of our world—why should we show her any mercy?!”
A furious man glared at the woman and clenched his sword tightly, voicing his opposition.
Watching these so-called righteous martial artists, Yu Luo suddenly laughed.
“Oh? So my duel with Fang Jian was just a joke to you? If that’s the case and you wish to go back on your word, I’ll give you a chance.”
Yu Luo’s cold gaze swept across the crowd as she activated her internal energy.
“I’m giving you a choice now. Those who wish to withdraw from this battlefield will not be pursued by Luo City or me. However, if you choose to stand by Jin Yaowei and break your promise to oppose Luo City, then stay and face the consequences!”
Her voice, amplified by internal energy, echoed throughout the battlefield—reaching even the warriors standing on the city walls and all of Luo City’s defenders.
Amidst the howling wind and heavy snow, Yu Luo’s voice rang loud and clear, even carrying into Luo City itself, where every citizen heard their young mistress’s bold declaration!
For a moment, silence fell over the battlefield.
Then, mere seconds later, laughter erupted from the crowd! Even the men beside Jin Yaowei couldn’t hold back and immediately drew their swords.
“Hahahaha! What an arrogant wench! Do you really think you can challenge the might of the entire martial world? Hah! Today, we’ll show you what happens when you stand against us—your Luo City, your family, will all suffer a gruesome fate!”
“No! I, Qiushan Niang, refuse to take part in this any longer. If the alliance leader intends to break his promise, then I will not stand by him. Farewell!”
The woman who had previously opposed Jin Yaowei spoke sharply. Bowing with cupped fists, she turned and signaled her followers. In an instant, dozens of warriors used their lightness skills to retreat from the battlefield.
“Alliance Leader Jin, your actions today are truly disappointing. I, too, take my leave.”
“I shall also withdraw.”
From the tens of thousands gathered, over a thousand warriors quietly left.
Seeing this, a flicker of satisfaction flashed through Yu Luo’s eyes. She had assumed all these people were blinded by greed and power, but it turned out some still upheld the values of the martial world. Perhaps all hope was not lost.
However, their departure only further enraged Jin Yaowei, challenging his authority as the martial alliance leader!
He was the leader of the martial world, and yet these people dared abandon him over a mere duel?
“Fine! Just fine! Remember those who left today—when we return, they will be expelled from the martial alliance and forever barred from rejoining!”
Jin Yaowei’s bloodshot eyes burned with fury.
Had it not been for his desire to massacre Luo City and later deal with the defectors, he would have attacked Yu Luo immediately!
“Understood, Alliance Leader! We will report this to the other allied nations!”
His subordinates acknowledged the command. Jin Yaowei then drew his sword, his murderous intent surging as he slowly stepped forward.
“By my command—kill that wench Yu Luo and avenge Fang Jian! Slaughter everyone in Luo City—leave no survivors!”
“Kill!”
The battle cry rang out across the battlefield!
Watching Jin Yaowei’s descent into madness, Yu Luo smirked and swiftly retreated to the city walls.
At the same time, the enemy warriors, using their lightness skills, launched an attack on the city walls.
Yu Haojie, Luo City’s commander, gave a single order. Immediately, thousands of archers and gunners fired their prepared weapons.
A sharp screech pierced the sky—martial artists at the rear turned in confusion, only to see monstrous birds swooping down.
Before they could even process what was happening, razor-sharp talons tore through their faces, slashing throats, and even decapitating some on the spot. Blood splattered across the white snow, a gruesome sight.
Meanwhile, the so-called martial elites at the front charged forward with confidence, underestimating the archers on the walls.
But mid-air, their bodies suddenly froze. Before they could react, their internal energy was disrupted, sending them plummeting to the ground.
Even Jin Yaowei was struck multiple times, his body crashing into the snow!
Yu Luo’s smirk widened.
“I had planned to capture Jin Yaowei alive and use a time-freezing talisman on him later, but it seems he’s just as useless as his disciple—getting shot down so easily? Hahaha!”
[Host, you’re brilliant! Capturing Jin Yaowei alive will establish Luo City’s standing in the martial world. We might even learn more about Feng City’s schemes from him.]
“You’re right. Jin Yaowei wouldn’t have led such a massive attack unless he had been promised something by Feng City. He must have taken their bribe—otherwise, he wouldn’t risk everything like this.”
[Host, hurry and use the time-freezing talisman before he dies! Also, your father is quite the craftsman—these modified firearms are far more powerful than the original blueprints!]
