Seeing their retreat path blocked, those few exchanged glances, and then one by one, they started to speak: "Mr. Wang, this matter has nothing to do with us to begin with. We hope you can give us a way out."
"I heard you also have a Sect, surely you need manpower too, right? We can switch allegiance to you and definitely provide some help!"
"Yes, although our strength is far inferior to yours, we still have some use, and we have team combat capabilities!"
Now, no matter what means are used, as long as they can save their lives, that is enough.
As for other matters, they are all not very important.
Wang Zhan squinted his eyes slightly, a cold smile appeared on the corners of his mouth, and after glancing at everyone, he spoke with utter disdain: "Even if you useless losers want to follow me, I will definitely not take you. And the Sky Pavilion is my base, in there are all my brothers, our relationship far exceeds your imagination."
"At least when I encounter strong foes, they will all stand by my side and never shrink back!"
In an instant, everyone’s faces became much uglier.
They could all hear the intentions in Wang Zhan’s words.
Obviously, because they are not standing by the Returning Cloud Pavilion Patriarch’s side now, Wang Zhan has completely disregarded them.
Actually, things are just as they thought. Since this group could betray the Returning Cloud Pavilion Patriarch, it proves they would surely betray him in the future. Plus, there are many experts inside Tian Ge Zhi, so even without their help, Wang Zhan could still handle it. Moreover, these worthless people are just useless turncoats, Wang Zhan simply did not take them seriously.
So, if these people really followed him, that would be what causes Wang Zhan pain.
In the blink of an eye, Wang Zhan had already walked up to them. After sweeping his gaze over them, he spoke indifferently: "I don’t want to waste any more time with you here, so I hope you have enough self-awareness. If you dare to have any crooked ideas, don’t blame me for taking action against you."
Wang Zhan intends to let them stay here to watch the show, and once the Returning Cloud Pavilion Patriarch is taken care of, then Wang Zhan will deal with them. After all, they all have Zuo Linglong’s blood on their hands, and Zuo Linglong is his only disciple, so emotionally and rationally, Wang Zhan will never let them off easily.
Everyone exchanged looks, their faces full of despair, and for a moment, the words were on their lips but not spoken.
Now, the initiative was completely in Wang Zhan’s hands, and they didn’t even have the chance to speak.
In a flash, the two people in the battle circle had reached a white-hot stage, clearly about to decide victory and defeat.
With a loud noise, the Returning Cloud Pavilion Patriarch was already defeated, his face extremely unsightly. He spat out a mouthful of blood, his gaze falling on the Fire Qilin in front of him. He clenched his fists tightly and said, "I never thought, your strength is so formidable. I thought the strongest among you three was that woman who hasn’t moved all along, but this time I really miscalculated, and now I’ve lost so miserably..."
The Sword Spirit on the side just stood with arms crossed, without speaking. In fact, the Fire Qilin has many trump cards, and he hasn’t fully absorbed the power of the beads inside him, so his current strength isn’t his peak. Given time, it’s believed that the Fire Qilin will surely become a dominant force, and by then, even the Sword Spirit might not be his match.
The Returning Cloud Pavilion Patriarch on the side spoke again: "Is there really no room for negotiation? Even if you can enter my place, you might not be able to find everything. If I am by your side, things could surely take a big turn for the better, so reconsidering would be beneficial for you..."
Sadly, the Fire Qilin ignored his words, raising his fists again, quickly charging toward the Patriarch.
Before the Returning Cloud Pavilion Patriarch could react, he felt acute pain in his chest, and once again, he was sent flying, his momentum already waned to the extreme...
Clearly, if he continues to fight the Fire Qilin, it would only lead to a dead end.
The most shocking part is that the Fire Qilin shows no intention of letting him go, not even tempted by his treasures. This is the most shocking point. Everyone on the Star War Battlefield is all about self-interest, yet the Fire Qilin doesn’t think this way at all, even choosing to stand unconditionally by Wang Zhan’s side. Does Wang Zhan really possess that much allure?
In an instant, the Returning Cloud Pavilion Patriarch didn’t know what to do. No way he’s going to surrender here.
Next, he directed his gaze at Wang Zhan, quickly stepping up to him, hurriedly saying: "How about we discuss this, I believe there is room for negotiation. Even if we’ve acted against Zuo Linglong, didn’t he return safely?"
"Moreover, the real culprit is already dead here. Although I’m part of the Returning Cloud Pavilion, I didn’t know about these things. If I did, I would certainly not have allowed it, nor them to act recklessly."
It’s just unfortunate that Wang Zhan didn’t believe him at all, not even sparing him a glance.
The Returning Cloud Pavilion Patriarch kept his gaze on Wang Zhan because he realized that although the Sword Spirit and the Fire Qilin were extremely powerful, they all answered to Wang Zhan, so if he could get Wang Zhan to change his mind, surely there would be room for negotiation. So he kept racking his brain for ways to get Wang Zhan to change his mind.
Yet, Wang Zhan still paid him no attention, slightly shaking his head and saying, "I advise you not to waste your thoughts here. I’m giving you a chance now: if you want a swift end, kill these worthless lot of yours from the Returning Cloud Pavilion. Perhaps then I might let you die quickly. You should understand our strength; we can thoroughly torment you, leaving you unable to live or die. Surely, you don’t want that scenario to happen, right?"
The Returning Cloud Pavilion Patriarch’s face was extremely unsightly, clenching his fists tightly, but he hadn’t made a decision.
His mind was racing, thinking of ways to escape.
Everyone present was also looking at the Returning Cloud Pavilion Patriarch, their eyes full of pleading. Regardless of what they had done, they all wanted to leave here safely, not wanting to die here, naturally.
The Returning Cloud Pavilion Patriarch ignored them, still contemplating his escape plan.
In a flash, Wang Zhan’s gaze returned to the Returning Cloud Pavilion Patriarch, seeing his lack of response, Wang Zhan was losing patience. He said coldly, "Since you haven’t made up your mind, I won’t make it difficult for you. After all, these are your good hands and grew under your watch. So letting you choose might be difficult, then I’ll make you understand how painful living can be."
Then, Wang Zhan raised the Poseidon’s Trident in his hand. Before the Returning Cloud Pavilion Patriarch could react, it had already pierced through his shoulder blade.
With the Returning Cloud Pavilion Patriarch injured, his strength rapidly declined, and compared to Wang Zhan, it wasn’t much different. Even if his strength was far inferior, Wang Zhan could still overpower him.
The Returning Cloud Pavilion Patriarch clutched his shoulder blade, coldly looking at Wang Zhan, frowning and saying, "I didn’t expect you to be so young, yet such a loathsome demon. But since it’s like this, I won’t waste time with you. If you’re a man, give me a quick end!"
The Returning Cloud Pavilion Patriarch has been dominating on the Star War Battlefield for hundreds of years, possessing overwhelming power.
Though he hasn’t appeared in a long time and the legends about him have diminished, those who know him have increased.
But that doesn’t mean he has lost his former pride.
In his heart, he knew Wang Zhan was just looking for an excuse to make things difficult. Even if everyone here was slain, Wang Zhan wouldn’t let him go easily; he might even attack him, likely inflicting some torment. Since the outcome was the same, why not fight back immediately?
Yet Wang Zhan paid him no heed, raising the Poseidon’s Trident again. As Wang Zhan prepared to act, a disciple of the Returning Cloud Pavilion hastily approached, his gaze landing on Wang Zhan, volunteering, "Sir, why not let me take his life, and then let us all go?"
"Or, if you want to torture him, leave it to us. I think you know well our methods of torture. We will definitely make him wish for death!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Zhan burst into laughter.
"You all are truly despicable."
