7230 Chapter 7228-
This person was originally a subordinate of Zhulu city’s city lord’s estate. Rather than saying that he was here to participate in the sword spring sect’s assessment, it would be more accurate to say that he was a guard sent to protect AI fan. Moreover, he was only one of them!
Hearing AI fan’s promise, the warrior at the peak of the later stage of the Golden elixir realm’s eyes lit up. He looked at Lu Butong as if he was looking at a Gold Mountain.
Ten times the income! It was definitely not a loss compared to entering the sword spring sect. In fact, it was a huge profit!
“Don’t worry, young city Lord. I will definitely complete the task!”
The man cupped his fists and smiled hideously. He took out his weapon and walked towards Lu Butong.
Lu Butong’s face turned pale. He did not have any martial arts master who could fight against the peak of the late golden elixir realm on his side. If the other party wanted to kill him, he would not be able to withstand even one move!
“Wait! I have something to say!”
Lu Butong quickly waved his hands to stop AI fan’s men from approaching.”AI fan, I surrender! I’ll be your little brother!”
If he could survive, Lu Butong wouldn’t mind being eliminated, but it was obvious that he would rather be eliminated than kill him. That was a different story!
Even if Lu Butong wanted to give up, he would have to wait until the end of this round. Before that, he would probably be torn into pieces.
“A wise man submits to circumstances. Lu Butong, you’ve made the right choice. You’ll understand in the future!”
AI fan laughed out loud. Although he had lost eight men, he had at least made up for the loss of numbers by subduing Lu Butong.
As for whether Lu Butong, Nangong Yimeng, and the others were useful or not, it did not matter. When he needed cannon fodder, he would just send them to block a wave.
Lu Butong and Nangong Yimeng looked at each other. They could see the unwillingness in each other’s hearts. However, the situation was not in their favor, and they had no other choice.
Compared to surrendering, Lu Butong and Nangong Yimeng were even more embarrassed that the target of their surrender was Zhulu city. If this news were to spread back to Luling city, they would really be too ashamed to return!
AI fan’s eyes shifted as he walked over and put his arm around Lu Butong and Nangong Yimeng’s shoulders. They put their heads together and whispered a few words to each other. Lin Yi and black wildflower didn’t know what he did, but they couldn’t hear what he said.
After they finished, Lu Butong and Nangong Yimeng looked much better. They nodded at AI fan, and the unwillingness in their eyes seemed to have disappeared.
Lin Yi was secretly surprised. He didn’t know what AI fan said to them, but it was able to change their attitudes immediately. It wasn’t easy!
The matter between Zhulu city and Deer Ridge city could naturally be seen by those who were interested. After all, Zhulu city was originally the strongest team out of all the cities, so it was normal for it to attract attention.
So when they saw AI Fan, Lin Yi, and Lu Butong shake hands and even form an alliance, the teams that were still fighting to the death started panicking. They slowly stopped fighting and started to secretly connect, trying to form an alliance.
Zhulu city was already the strongest team, and now that Lin Yi’s team had instantly eliminated five of their Masters, their strength didn’t drop at all. Instead, it seemed to have doubled.
If they wanted to fight against such a strong enemy, it was obvious that a single City team would not stand a chance. Only an Alliance of the same type would be able to do so!
Therefore, after a short period of chaos, the remaining teams from the cities quickly came to a tacit understanding, and two or three teams formed three alliances.
Only one city was more unlucky. Most of them had been eliminated in the battle just now. There were only two or three stragglers left. There was no alliance team to take them in. They could only stand alone in the field and wait to be eliminated.
The previous battles had not been long, but many people had been eliminated. Now, there were only one hundred and fifty people left.
AI fan and Lin Yi’s side had an average number of people, about a quarter of them, but their individual strength was stronger.
“Brother Sima, it looks like it’s impossible for us to wait for the next round. We’ll have to fight!”
AI fan shrugged his shoulders. He was not too concerned about the current situation.
If the remaining people continued to fight, there would be another 50 or so people eliminated soon. Lin Yi and the others who had been watching from the side would naturally be able to enter the list of 100 people.
Unfortunately, no one was stupid. It was fine for them to keep this kind of good thing, but they couldn’t leave it to others!
“Let’s fight! Anyway, I don’t expect to advance without putting in any effort. Young city Lord AI, which side do you think we should play?”
Lin Yi’s eyes swept across the remaining teams from the three alliances, a playful smile on his lips.”Maybe … They want to join forces to eliminate us!”
AI fan’s heart skipped a beat. He suddenly felt that he might have overreached himself!
Zhulu city had the strongest average strength to begin with, and they even teamed up with Lin Yi first, forcing Lu Butong and Nangong Yimeng to surrender, forming the strongest Alliance.
The remaining teams had spontaneously joined forces because of the sense of danger. Their first target was, of course, AI fan’s team!
They might have split into three teams, but the number one enemy of each team was definitely AI fan’s group. Lin Yi’s words were very reliable-they were probably going to deal with AI fan’s group together!
The saying ‘shoot the bird that takes the lead’ was true!
As long as they could eliminate AI Fan, Lin Yi, and the others here, it would be easier for them to advance and enter the sword spring sect!
“Hehe … Brother Sima, you’re overthinking it. They can’t attack us together because if we don’t agree, the rules won’t be in place!”
“If it’s just one side, we don’t have to be afraid of them!” AI fan forced a smile. And they can’t just deal with us as a single team. That would only let the other two sides benefit from it!”
Any team that joined forces to fight AI fan and the others to the death could possibly reduce the number of people to around 100 after the battle and end the elimination round!
Therefore, even though they knew that it was best to eliminate AI fan, there might not be anyone willing to help others and fight to the death personally!
However, just as AI fan finished speaking, someone from the three joint teams issued a challenge at the same time.
“People of Zhulu city, come out and fight. You guys set the rules!”
“People from Deer Ridge city’s Sima Yi, come out and fight. You guys set the rules!”
“Lu tribe and Tong tribe from Luling city who have surrendered to Zhulu city, come out and fight. You can set the rules!”
The tacit understanding between the three sides made people speechless. Not only did they separate AI fan and Lin Yi’s Alliance, but even Lu Butong and Nangong Yimeng’s people were separated.
After all, they had already surrendered to Zhulu city, but they still represented Luling city. However, because surrendering could not completely represent Luling city, they had become an independent group.
They were broken one by one!
AI fan’s expression became rather unsightly. If it was a single team from a city challenging their Zhulu city, he would not be afraid at all. The problem was that the one challenging them was a team whose strength was only second to Zhulu city!
