Chen Jianlong laughed heartily and said fiercely, “The Li family has come to this point today because they deserve it. Since we are enemies, what internal or external issues can there be? My opinion is simple: we go directly to kill them, wipe out the Li family completely, and as for their wealth, we’ll split it evenly among ourselves!”
A supreme expert from the Stone Family said, “Indeed, in the past when dealing with other families, it was always like this. Why should the Li family be an exception? Our eight great clans, along with the law enforcers, brought over thirty thousand people to the northwest, and now there are less than five thousand left. Did those who died do so in vain? If we don't have some gain from this, will we have to pay for the compensation ourselves?”
“Exactly, did those who died do so in vain? Those brothers who died had families too. If we can’t bring back some benefits from this, what will happen to them? Their families have lost their pillars of support; will they not be waiting to be bullied to death?”
“The Li family is a loser! Losers must bear the consequences of being losers!”
“This is the rule of the martial arts world; it has always been this way!”
“Why should the Li family be an exception?”
For a moment, everyone seemed filled with righteous indignation, each person speaking with conviction.
Diwu Qingrou calmly said, “I just want to remind you all: you, like the Li family, also belong to the nine great clans! If the Li family is in this situation today, what if one day your family… finds itself in the same predicament? What will you say then?”
“To the victor belong the spoils; what is there to say?” Chen Jianlong said unhappily, “If they lose, then they lose. If that day does come, it will naturally be our wives and children who should die; what is there to say then?”
Just as he was speaking, a chilling voice interrupted, “Exactly! I hope you remember your words. If one day the Chen family falls, then your wives and children are destined to die… I will not spare any of them!”
Everyone turned to look, and not far away, a young man in black stood against the wind, his eyes shining as he gazed over. The voice wasn't loud, but it exuded a chilling killing intent!
Everyone's heart skipped a beat; the speaker was none other than the nine calamity sword master, Chu Yang!
Suddenly, a dead silence enveloped the area.
No one dared to underestimate those words, for the speaker was Chu Yang, the contemporary nine calamity sword master!
If anyone else had said those words, the crowd might have laughed it off, but when the nine calamity sword master said this, everyone felt a chilling pressure!
The nine calamity sword master had not been defeated in ninety thousand years!
The nine calamity brothers were unrivaled in the world!
The nine calamity sword master was destined to unify the Nine Heavens!
According to the history of the past hundred thousand years, their own families were almost fated to be wiped out at the hands of this person. Now that he uttered those words, it was akin to making a prophecy—one that was highly likely to come true!
How could the pressure not be immense?!
Beside him, the nine calamity brothers had also gathered, their cold eyes glaring in this direction.
Everyone was momentarily at a loss for words. They wanted to say something harsh, but found themselves unable to.
Even though the comparison of strength at this moment favored the coalition several hundred times over, if it came to a real fight, there was absolutely no chance for Chu Yang and the others to escape! If it were purely a matter of strength, even a few ninth rank experts could wipe out the nine calamity brothers and annihilate the nine calamity sword master!
But the problem was that Chu Yang and the others had not participated in the previous battle; they were now the fresh troops.
They also had another advantage: they could retreat at any time.
If the nine calamities united, and they chose to escape without wanting to fight, not even Xiao Chenyu would likely catch up.
