Warrior’s Promise

Chapter 2698 Unscrupulous

Twenty-eight top powers of the Supreme Realm charged forward, led by Qian Fu, the Young Master of Death.

But they were very careful as they steadied their breath and controlled their speed.

Soon, they met four disciples from the Ancient Star Cloud Alliance. They were made up of three men and one woman, all of whom had impressive training. Two of them were Advanced Supreme Beings while the other two were Middle-rank Supreme Beings. “This is…?”

The four were startled when they saw Fu Qian and the others coming their way. Then they were overjoyed, but that quickly changed too.

Without hesitation, the four turned tail and fled. They had no chance of winning against the thirty or so powerful beings of the Supreme Realm.

So, they chose to run.

“Spare the two Advanced Supreme Beings!” Fu Qian commanded.

Before he had even finished speaking, out of his twenty-eight followers, two had begun to strike. The powerful attacks almost instantly killed the two Middle-rank Supreme Beings without question.

They never thought about showing mercy and allowing their victims to seek forgiveness from Tai Ying Sovereign to save their own skins.

That was not happening. Whether they went for the kill or not made no difference.

The powerful attacks killed the two Middle-rank Supreme Beings but also left the other two Advanced Supreme Beings heavily wounded.

Afterwards, another two top powers of the Supreme Realm quickly gave chase. They easily restrained the two Advanced Supreme Beings and then put them in a spatial device.

“Go!” Fu Qian called out, and they all marched on.

Next, whenever they met any disciples from the Ancient Cloud Star Alliance, it would either be kill on sight or capture by force.

In a short time, they managed to kill hundreds of disciples from the Alliance and capture many others.

Anyway, due to the huge commotion and the fact that those who had mastered the art of escape managed to run away, Fu Qian and the group’s whereabouts were soon exposed.

“Quick, the members of the Supreme Realm have been spotted!”

“They’re all here, next to the heart.”

“Twenty-nine. Not one more, not one less.”

In the Space Beast’s body, many disciples teamed up and began heading in that direction when they received word.

Su Mo also followed a team of several dozen members making their way towards the Space Beast’s heart after he heard the news.

“Twenty-nine altogether?” He thought. These people could not be underestimated. Generally, even a thousand Advanced Supreme Beings might not have been able to conquer twenty-nine top powers of the Supreme Realm.

Fortunately, there were quite a number of disciples participating in the Selection.

For so many top powers to appear at once, they had to have have come prepared. Su Mo wondered what they were hiding up their sleeves.

Su Mo tailed the group as they quickly flew towards the Space Beast’s heart.

They were already within a short distance so it did not take long to get there.

They had arrived at a blood vessel near the Space Beast’s heart. The blood around them had long evaporated, forming a large open space.

About four thousand disciples merged into a circle, surrounding thirty people in the centre.

The thirty or so showed no signs of backing down, giving off the majestic air of the Supreme Realm.

The four thousand people surrounding them suffered from a range of minor to serious injuries.

Broken limbs could be spotted lying here and there. Obviously, surrounding these twenty-nine top powers was no easy task. There had been many deaths.

In fact, surrounding the twenty-nine top powers, including Fu Qian, was only made possible because a team of four hundred people had spotted them first.

The four hundred of them could not have defeated the other twenty-nine even if they joined forces, but they managed to buy some time for more disciples to arrive and level the playing field.

About a hundred or so people had sacrificed themselves in the process, while many more had been captured.

“You can’t escape!”

“No matter how strong you are, you’ll die for sure!”

“Release those you have caught!”

The people surrounding Fu Qian’s group were angry. They no longer attackedbecause more people were on the way. As more people gathered, they gained more overwhelming advantages.

Su Mo stood in the centre of the crowd surveying the twenty-nine people, waiting to see how this would develop. He was looking for the right moment. Lin Ya and Ling Chang were not there yet, but Quan Ruhai and Chang Yi were, albeit wounded. Obviously, they had gone through a fight with the top powers of the Supreme Realm.

Fu Qian and the other twenty-eight did not speak as they cautiously surveyed their surroundings.

“How many have we caught?” Fu Qian transmitted a question to the others.

“About four hundred!” Someone replied.

“More and more of them are coming. I’m afraid it’s getting harder to capture them!”

“Do you think we can threaten Tai Ying Sovereign and the Elders of the Ancient Cloud Star Alliance with just these four hundred people?”

The top powers of the Supreme Realm transmitted thoughts amongst themselves, discussing their current situation.

They wanted to capture more people, but were surrounded too soon.

“Four hundred is more than enough, but we still need someone who’s a peerless Herculean!” Fu Qian thought.

“You mean…”

“Do you plan to capture Ba Shiyu, Shi Zixuan, and Murong Qi?”

“Those three are considered the top disciples of the Supreme Being Realm in the Ancient Cloud Star Alliance!”

“Precisely! We can capture them and use them as our biggest security!” Fu Qian transmitted his thoughts again. They had to control at least one out of the three to have a chance of getting out of this alive.

“Are they here? I don’t know them!”

“I’ve met Ba Shiyu. He’s not here yet!”

“None of them are here yet!”

They discussed it quickly in secret, ignoring the angry mob around them.

“Wait. When they get here, we’ll find a way to catch them. Even one would do!” Fu Qian issued his orders through his thoughts.

“Yes!” the others agreed.

While they were engrossed in their discussion, the number of people in the outer circle had doubled to over ten thousand.

Within the next few moments they could gather hundreds of thousands, even millions of people. “Fu Qian, do you think you have a way out of this?” a tall, lean young man in a black robe barked, showing disdain for Fu Qian.

Many at the scene recognised Fu Qian. His title as the Young Master of Death was quite famous, for he had killed many disciples of the Ancient Cloud Star Alliance before.

“You think I don’t?” Fu Qian said coldly. Then, he took out one of the captured disciples from the spatial device at random and killed them on the spot.

The unfortunate disciple barely had a chance to scream before he was killed and turned to ashes.

“Y-you’ve lost your mind!” The same young man yelled while the others looked on in disgust. Fu Qian had dared to kill indiscriminately right in their faces, which simply showed that he had no regard for them.

“I have the lives of one thousand people in my hands. Any wrong movements and I’ll kill them all with just a thought!” Fu Qian surveyed the crowd, threatening them unscrupulously.

Their faces paled. Fu Qian intended to use a thousand lives to threaten them.

Things were not going well. One thousands lives were at stake. They had to handle this with care and not treat it as a joke.

“Nonsense! Since when have you caught a thousand people!” Quan Ruhai shouted. He did not believe him at all. Right then, he needed everyone to come together and kill off all twenty-nine of them.

“Maggot, let me explain it to you!” Fu Qian looked him in the eye scornfully.

“Y-You…!” Quan Ruhai was enraged but he dared not make a move. His opponents had hostages, and he was a lot weaker than them.

No one dared to make a move, for fear they had a lot to lose. Fu Qian and the other twenty-eight were quite pleased.

Now all they had to do was wait for Ba Shiyu, Murong Qi, and Shi Zixuan. Then, they would capture those three in a flash while the rest were still holding back.

Whoosh!!

More people had arrived in groups and formed dozens of rows, surrounding Fu Qian’s team of twenty-nine even more tightly.

In just a matter of moments, no fewer than a hundred thousand martial artists had gathered there.
