Chapter 689 - I Will Only Fight for First Place!
Chapter 689 I Will Only Fight for First Place!
The people present were not fools. Chu Xun’s attitude was obvious. He didn’t want to attack the city. “If you want to fight, fight. Anyway, I won’t.”
No one dared to talk more after hearing Chu Xun’s words. The Devil King had almost destroyed the Gu Family just now.
“Since you are not feeling well, have a good rest.” The expert in the High Immortal Realm who invited Chu Xun left.
The people in charge of various forces began to plan the attack on the city.
Although Chu Xun looked absent-minded, he focused on their plan. He didn’t want them to break into Ziwei City.
At this time, several figures came from a distance fast and arrived in seconds.
“Oh, I know them...” Chu Xun chuckled. Several disciples of the Sect of Holy Fire came.
The three disciples came and walked straight to a group of people. The group only had five people, all in the High Immortal Realm. No one dared to provoke them.
“Greetings, Senior Brother.” The three of them bowed.
“Why did you come here so late?” One of them asked.
“Senior Brother, we were ambushed midway.”
“Who dares to ambush the disciples of our Sect of Holy Fire?”
“The person is recruited by the Ma Family outside. The Killing God, Liu Tianhe, killed 50 disciples of the Sect of Holy Fire, wounded Senior Brother Bai Haihan, and even defeated Senior Brother Wu Li. He robbed us of our Vanquishing Fiends Count.”
The crowd burst into an uproar and looked at Chu Xun in shock.
The three men were alarmed by the crowd, and they turned their heads subconsciously, only to see Chu Xun looking at them with a faint smile on his face. They were so scared that their faces turned pale.
The three had been in a hurry just now, with too many people here, so they didn’t see Chu Xun at all. They felt as if having been caught badmouthing. Chu Xun’s cruelty made them tremble with fear.
The five experts of the High Immortal Realm of the Sect of Holy Fire looked at Chu Xun simultaneously with killing intent in their eyes.
“He is so vicious that he has killed 50 people of the Sect of Holy Fire.”
“I originally thought that only our Gu Family had suffered losses because of him. It turned out that the Sect of Holy Fire had suffered the same fate.”
“It’s too cruel. We’re all from the Assembly of Immortals. How could he do such a thing? He is even more vicious than the Fiends.”
Everyone was whispering to each other. Some took pleasure in the Sect of Holy Fire’s misfortune, and some wanted to arouse everyone’s hostility toward Chu Xun so that they could join in forces.
“Since you’ve been famous for a long time, do you think you look like Chosen Ones? Do you only dare to murmur behind my back? If you stand up and speak in front of me, I may respect you as real men,” Chu Xun sneered.
The foreheads of Ma Sen and Ma Yanchen were covered with cold sweat. Chu Xun was too cruel. If possible, they didn’t want to align with Chu Xun at all. If they went on like this, they might make many enemies and lose their lives here.
Both of them were waiting for the development of the situation. If Chu Xun aroused public anger, they would announce that they had no relationship with Chu Xun. In this way, even if they went outside, they could explain to their family.
Chu Xun’s words were full of sarcasm and mockery, but no one dared to say anything.
He had expected it. He killed the members of the Gu Family fiercely and frightened the people present. No one wanted to be the first one to stand out.
However, to Chu Xun’s surprise, the five of the High Immortal Realm of the Sect of Holy Fire also endured it.
“I have a question. Where are the others?” One of them asked.
“Senior Brother, Senior Brother Wu Li and some of our members have surrounded two hundred Earth residents in the valley, but these people are brave. We can’t kill them all for a while, so Senior Brother Wu Li asked us to come and ask for help.”
Chu Xun’s heart skipped a beat. Why did the two hundred people that should have hidden in their cities come out?
“Where are they?”
“Senior Brother, I can lead the way.”
Chu Xun stood up and said casually, “Hurry up and lead the way. What are you waiting for?”
One of the experts in the High Immortal Realm of the Sect of Holy Fire looked at Chu Xun and said, “Liu Tianhe, will you intervene in this matter as well?”
“I will intervene in everything about the Vanquishing Fiends Count. I promised the Ma Family the first place would be mine after I came in,” Chu Xun said.
Although Chu Xun was arrogant, no one present refuted him. Everyone knew Chu Xun’s combat strength. He had the ability to compete for first place.
“Don’t you want to attack the city? Leave the matter to me,” Chu Xun said and looked at the people of the Sect of Holy Fire. “Don’t worry, I can kill those Earth people, and I can guarantee that I won’t hurt this person.”
“Liu Tianhe, don’t take it for granted. Since the two hundred Earth residents were discovered and trapped by us, why should we leave them to you?”
“Don’t flatter yourselves,” Chu Xun sneered. “If they were easy to deal with, the Sect of Holy Fire would have slaughtered them already. Why do you come here for help?”
“Even if we cannot kill them all, we will not give any of them to you,” one person of the Sect of Holy Fire said coldly.
Chu Xun didn’t care. He sat down and said, “You can do whatever you want now. Then I have no choice but to rob you.”
The faces of the five in the High Immortal Realm of the Sect of Holy Fire turned cold. One of them shouted, “Liu Tianhe, don’t go too far.”
“Are you kidding?” Chu Xun shrugged his shoulders and said, “Don’t wrong me. You want to attack the city and get the Chaos Stone, so you don’t have enough people to deal with those Earth people. I’ll help you solve the problem. How can you say that I go too far?
“You are about to attack the city. Is anyone of you willing to leave here? Is the Chaos Stone no match for the Vanquishing Fiends Count? Or do you think I should stay and fight you for the Chaos Stone?”
Chu Xun sneered and said, “Don’t you think you’re too greedy? Do you want to get both the Vanquishing Fiends Count and the Chaos Stone, leaving me empty-handed? If so, I’ll have to rob you.”
Chu Xun’s words shocked everyone present. What Chu Xun said was right. They ignored an important thing — to break into the city and take the Chaos Stone. If they and Chu Xun scrambled for the Chaos Stone, would they win?
Everyone present clearly saw how strong Chu Xun was. In a one-on-one fight, no one was sure if they could defeat him. So fierce as Chu Xun was, it’s reasonable to leave either of the Vanquishing Fiends Count or the Chaos Stone to Chu Xun.
Then, which one of the Vanquishing Fiends Count and the Chaos Stone was more important?
Everyone present had made up their minds.
“Friend, why not ask the Killing God to make a trip on your behalf? After all, he doesn’t feel well after the battle just now, so he wouldn’t be of much help when attacking the city. Why not let him hunt and kill those Earth people?” An expert in the High Immortal Realm of the other force said to the people of the Sect of Holy Fire.
“Since we have no time to spare, why not let him go there? We can both deal with the Earth residents and attack the city at ease in this way. What is there against it?”
“Friends of the Sect of Holy Fire, I feel that Friend Liu is a righteous person. He is willing to forget about the previous grudges and help you out. It’s feasible.”
Everyone stuck up for Chu Xun, one after another. The five experts in the High Immortal Realm of the Sect of Holy Fire were so angry. “These despicable people are so ungrateful.”
To prevent Chu Xun from competing with them for the Chaos Stone, the people present took out interests of the Sect of Holy Fire to do Chu Xun a favor.
In fact, they had no choice. If the five went to support their members, they could easily kill those Earth people. However, they could not leave, for fear that the city would be breached after they left. Then they couldn’t get the Chaos Stone. After learning that Chu Xun had killed fifty disciples of the Sect of Holy Fire, they didn’t take revenge immediately because they wanted to rob the Chaos Stone first, not afraid of Chu Xun.
“Since you are not willing to do it. When you attack the city, I will cheer for you from behind. After you break into it, I will help you find the Chaos Stone,” Chu Xun said.
The expressions of those present changed. They were not fools. Chu Xun wouldn’t help them but would rob the Chaos Stone.
The strength of Chu Xun was equivalent to that of ten experts in the High Immortal Realm. He was decisive and cruel. It was better not to be enemies with such a person unless there was no other choice.
“Liu Tianhe, can you guarantee that you won’t harm the other disciples of my Sect of Holy Fire?” An expert in the High Immortal Realm of the Sect of Holy Fire asked.
Chu Xun laughed in his heart. The words proved that they compromised.
“I can assure you that my goal is to win first place this time, not to kill people for fun. As long as you don’t compete with me for the Vanquishing Fiends Count, we can be good friends,” Chu Xun said.
Hearing Chu Xun’s words, all the experts in the High Immortal Realm nodded. Chu Xun did not have much conflict of interest with them because they stayed here from the last session and did not need to fight for first place.
An expert in the High Immortal Realm of the Sect of Holy Fire took the three disciples who asked for help aside. He asked them to tell Wu Li not to fight with Chu Xun but let Chu Xun kill the Earth people himself. If Chu Xun was injured by those Earth people, they should find an opportunity to kill him.
Chu Xun’s ears twitched slightly. “What a good idea.”
A short while later, an expert in the High Immortal Realm of the Sect of Holy Fire said to Chu Xun, “Our disciples are willing to lead the way, but please keep your promise and don’t hurt them.”
“Don’t worry. As I said, as long as you don’t compete with me for first place, I can be a friend of anyone,” Chu Xun said.
The two of the three disciples of the Sect of Holy Fire who came to ask for help weren’t willing to lead the way for Chu Xun for fear that Chu Xun would kill them.
Only a disciple was willing to lead the way, forced to walk over while trembling with fear.
“Friends, I wish you to be triumphant in the first battle, occupy Ziwei City, and get the Chaos Stone, shedding less blood and sacrificing less. Don’t let me see corpses of you after I come back...” Chu Xun cupped his fists and said.
The people present responded by cupping their hands before their chests. They all felt that Chu Xun’s words were very awkward.
“Let’s go,” Chu Xun said to the disciple of the Sect of Holy Fire who led the way.
“Brother Liu, what should we do?” Ma Sen hurriedly asked.
Chu Xun stopped and looked at him. “Naturally, you should stay here to rob the Chaos Stone. I’m going to kill the Fiends, and you rob the Chaos Stone. If both of us succeed, won’t it be a good thing for us?”
“But...”
“I know what you want to say. When I came in, the Presbyter Sixth had already told me that the Ma Family should occupy 30 places to go to the earth this time. We will leave the other 10 places to other forces. Don’t worry. I’ll keep it in mind.”
Ma Sen almost cried. He didn’t mean that. If Chu Xun said these words, wouldn’t the Ma Family become the target of public criticism? If he left by himself, they would be dangerous.
Chu Xun patted Ma Sen on the shoulder, turned around, and left. After taking two steps, he stopped and looked back. Ma Sen’s eyes lit up with joy. He thought that Chu Xun would not let them stay here and become a target of public criticism. Otherwise, he couldn’t explain it to the Ma Family when he went back.
“Earth residents of the city, you must hold on. Don’t let anyone break into the city easily. Hold on until I come back,” Chu Xun shouted toward the city.
The people present were speechless. How could this person live until now? If anyone else said so, he would be seen as a spy from Earth. Liu Tianhe was probably the only one who was fearless. No one could do anything to him.
