Chapter Seventy-Three: Two Paths for You to Choose

  "Haha, that's right, it's me." Ye Peng smiled and looked at Jiang Ming and the others with a very pleased expression.

  Jiang Ming suppressed the anger in his body, staring at Ye Peng and asked in a low voice, "Why did you do this? You are also one of us, why did you betray us?"

  "Why?"

  Ye Peng suddenly burst out laughing and looked at Jiang Ming with disdain: "You guys want to die, I don't. Talking about finding Lin Yang to be the leader, it's simply a pipe dream. What kind of power does he have? Would he bother with you bunch of trash? You're stupid, I'm not. Rather than waiting for that impossible dream with you, I'd rather join other forces now."

  "So, I chose Golden Blade Alliance. The main reason we came today is that I told them someone would want to form a new force here today, so Golden Blade Alliance sent Super Brother to investigate. Who knew, there were two guys who didn't know what's good for them and wouldn't let us in? As a result, Super Brother got angry and casually defeated them with just two moves."

  Jiang Ming and others listened with increasingly gloomy faces, they really couldn't think of it, Ye Peng would abandon them. If it was just abandonment, that's fine, but now, he even told the Golden Knife Alliance about their plan to form a new force, bringing people to attack them. Such betrayal is simply despicable and shameless, a sinister and treacherous villain!

  "Despicable!"

  "Shameless!"

  "Good man!"

  ．．．．．．

  Lei gave a cold glance at Jiang Ming and the others who were still cursing nonstop, then said with his head held high: "How's that? I've given you the reason you wanted. Are you satisfied now? It's also time for us to discuss our own matters."

  He paused for a moment, and then Lei Chao continued: "From your reactions just now, it seems that what Ye Peng said is true. I didn't expect you people to really want to form a new force. Our Golden Blade Alliance absolutely does not allow the emergence of new forces. Now there are only two paths in front of you."

  "Firstly, actively join our Golden Blade Alliance. Once you become one of us in the Golden Blade Alliance, we will let bygones be bygones for everything you have done before."

  "Secondly, you will be passively absorbed into our Golden Blade Alliance. If you refuse, I will use force to compel you to join the Golden Blade Alliance."

  "These two roads give you ten seconds to think about it, and then tell me which one you want to choose."

  Lei Chao's eyes were coldly fixed on Jiang Ming and the others, his mouth slightly curved into an arc, his arms crossed over his chest, exuding an air of confidence.

  According to what Ye Peng said earlier, there are not a few people in this group who have cultivated to the 9th level of Xuanbing. Lei Chao's ears still echoed with what Zhao Ba Dao said to him before he left: "Lei Chao, if those people really have several individuals with 9th-level Xuanbing strength as Ye Peng said, then I hope they become our people. Even if we use certain special means, we must bring those few people over to our side. After all, this kind of strong person is also what we lack. Do you understand my meaning?"

  Certain special means?

  Isn't it just using force to take someone away?

  How could Lei Chao not understand? Zhao Ba Dao sent him here because his cultivation is at the Xuan Shi level, and apart from Zhao Ba Dao himself, he is one of the two strongest people by Zhao Ba Dao's side.

  "What? Super Brother, you want to recruit these people into our Golden Blade Alliance?"

  Ye Peng stared at Lei Chao in disbelief, unable to believe that he would say such a thing. After all, he had just offended Jiang Ming to death, and if they also joined the Golden Knife Alliance, wouldn't it mean that he would have no good days from now on?

  "Hmm? What's wrong? Do you have an opinion?"

  Upon hearing Ye Peng's words, Lei Chao's eyes flashed with a cold glint, his gaze piercing as he looked at Ye Peng and asked in a chilly tone.

  "No... no opinion."

  Ye Peng saw Lei Chao's gaze and immediately became frightened, lowering his head and saying in a somewhat weak tone.

  "Hmm." Lei Chao hummed, turning his gaze to Jiang Ming and the others, then asked: "How is it? Have you thought about which path to take? Is it the first one? Or perhaps the second?"

  "No, we have a third way out, which is to beat you up and then leave calmly."

  Jiang Mingyi finished speaking, and his whole person quickly rushed towards Lei Chao. In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Lei Chao, raised his massive palm, and slapped it fiercely at Lei Chao.

  Lei Chao looked at the ordinary palm, with a look of disdain on his face, and without thinking, he directly countered with a palm. Then, there was a dull thud, Jiang Ming was knocked back seven or eight steps away, and a faint red blood slowly flowed out from the corner of his mouth.

  The arm that had clashed with Lei Chao's was now limp and dangling, its palm a bloody mess, the fresh blood dripping slowly from his fingers to the ground, adding a few touches of vibrancy to this pale earth.

  Jiang Ming's eyes were filled with an unbelievable color, his two eyes gazing at Lei Chao with some fear, his voice slightly trembling as he said: "You... you are a Xuan Shi level expert?"

  What?

  Everyone's eyes were fixed on Lei Chao, their faces involuntarily revealing a hint of shock. At this moment, even if they didn't want to believe it, they couldn't deny the fact that Jiang Ming's arm had been crippled. It was almost impossible for anyone other than a Xuan Shi-level expert to achieve such a feat with just one strike. The truth was staring them in the face, and they couldn't help but believe it.

  After a moment, Jiang Ming's fear dissipated from his eyes, and he glared fiercely at Lei Chao. Facing the crowd, he said: "Hao Ping, Hu Zhe, you two come over to help out, as well as those with strength above Xuanbing Seventh Level, let's go together! I don't believe that we can't defeat him with so many people."

  Hmph, before long, Lei Chao found himself surrounded by Jiang Ming and his group. He coldly gazed at these people, his eyes filled with disdain. Did they think that the Xuan Shi realm could be defeated by a few Xuan Bing realm cultivators? This was simply too foolish!

  Lei Chao continued to persuade: "Forget it, you can't beat me. I think it's better for you to surrender directly and join our Golden Blade Alliance. It will save me the trouble of taking action and crippling each of you one by one."

  Actually, he didn't want to cripple all of them either. After all, once they joined the Golden Blade Alliance later on, they would have to foot their own medical bills. Although they didn't care about it, if they could save some silver coins, that would be for the best!

  However, unfortunately, Jiang Ming and his group had already made up their minds, they would rather be disabled than join the Golden Knife Alliance and coexist under the same power as that sinister person, which was a shame for them.

  "Stop wasting words with him, let's go!"

  (Here's the second update for today, that's all for now. I owe you guys, and I'll make it up to you slowly in the future. Are there any friends who will give me a reward?)
