"What!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Yuanji's face turned deathly pale.
He had been wondering why Po Xiao had promised to help the Chu family through their difficulties, yet hadn't arrived yet!
Now, he finally understood the reason!
Because of this, his heart was filled with despair. Without the protection of Po Xiao and the Dark Association, the Chu family would not survive this calamity today!
"Stop hesitating, delaying is useless!"
"Now, immediately behead Chu Changying, and then have the family members inside pacify my soldiers. Perhaps I will let you go!"
"You should know that as long as you are here, a trace of the Chu family's bloodline will remain. The choice is yours!"
Seeing Chu Yuanji fall silent, Eugene spoke impatiently.
This...
With a single sentence, Chu Yuanji immediately hesitated.
He wanted to live, but he couldn't accept the condition!
After all, this was the ancestral hall!
Before the ancestral tablets of all his ancestors, beheading his own grandfather and sending the female members to be defiled by the enemy – such a beastly act, he couldn't do it!
Thinking this, he placed his weapon horizontally across his chest and said, "Eugene, if you want to destroy my Chu family, you'll have to step over my corpse!"
"Very well!"
Eugene nodded indifferently upon hearing this, then his gaze swept across the surrounding cardinals.
Just as he was about to say something, a voice called out.
"Rats hiding in the hole have come out to play. It seems like the weather is good today!"
As the voice echoed, Chu Yuanji immediately became excited. This was the voice of Po Xiao from the Dark Association, a voice he would never forget.
As he followed the sound with his eyes, he saw a figure slowly approaching.
Before long, the figure had passed through the encirclement of the Light Squad and arrived by his side.
Seeing this, Chu Yuanji's expression turned grim, and he said with difficulty, "Po Xiao, are you alone?"
Ye Cangtian smiled faintly and replied, "Yes, I'm alone. What? Do you think it's not enough?"
"This..."
In an instant, Chu Yuanji felt like cursing.
Although Po Xiao was very strong, he was facing the main force of the Light Squad. How could one person possibly hold them back!
Wasn't this equivalent to seeking death?
Whether Po Xiao sought death or not, he didn't care, but he hoped he wouldn't drag the Chu family down with him!
On the other side, Eugene and the others, also watching Po Xiao's figure, were stunned.
They hadn't expected that, in such an absolute mismatch of forces, someone would still come alone.
But after hearing their conversation and knowing that the person was Po Xiao, and that he had come alone, Eugene became incredibly excited.
What a pleasant surprise!
Thinking this, he looked at Po Xiao and said, "So you are Po Xiao! You're indeed quite audacious to come alone. Aren't you afraid I'll tear you to shreds?"
"Uh, I haven't thought about this question, and I won't think about it, because with your abilities, you can't do that!"
Ye Cangtian paused slightly and then spoke.
He then swept his gaze around again and continued, "Put down your weapons and surrender obediently, and you might still have a chance to live!"
"Hahaha..."
Eugene was instantly amused and angered by these two sentences.
His actions made it seem as if they were the ones trapped in a siege!
The next moment, Eugene said contemptuously, "Po Xiao, are you sleep-deprived? Why are you daydreaming in broad daylight! Please take a look at who is around you before you speak!"
"Around? People?"
"Besides the Chu family, is there anyone else around me? Why do I only see a few little rats?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian swept his gaze around again, then broke into a brilliant smile.
"You!"
With this statement, Eugene's face instantly turned red.
He glared fiercely at the other party and said darkly, "Po Xiao, I knew you were arrogant, but I didn't expect you to be so arrogant! Do you think we of the Light Hall are mere decorations!"
"Eugene, you are truly a bit dim."
"I already said you are just a few rats that can't see the light, so why are you still saying you'll treat you like decorations! Do you think you're worthy?"
Ye Cangtian glanced over, a look of disdain on his face.
However, this simple verbal sparring between them made Chu Yuanji's heart sink halfway.
The Light Hall had a large number of people and formidable strength. What good would it do to provoke them now? It would be better to waste more time, thus buying time to wait for reinforcements.
Thinking this, he quickly moved closer to Po Xiao and whispered, "Sir, the Chu family doesn't have much combat strength left. I'm afraid we can't help you much, so..."
Before Chu Yuanji could finish, Ye Cangtian understood his meaning – he wanted him to restrain himself.
Thinking this, he directly extended his hand, gave him a look, and signaled him that he had everything under control.
"Po Xiao, I really want to know, where does your confidence come from!"
On the other side, Eugene roared in anger, looking at Ye Cangtian's arrogant demeanor.
Anyone else in the face of such a lineup would be filled with fear, but not only was this person not afraid, he was also provoking him in every way.
He really didn't take him seriously!
"Confidence, of course, comes from strength!"
Ye Cangtian rolled his eyes at Eugene, his gaze like he was looking at an idiot. After all, if he didn't even know this, how could he dare to cause trouble?
"Good! I'll see your strength today!"
Eugene's face flushed red, and he heavily slapped the bamboo chair. Then, his gaze flickered to a black-robed bishop in front of him and said, "You guys, go up!"
Clearly, he wanted to use the black-robed bishops and divine envoys to test Ye Cangtian's strength.
"This..."
With this command, the faces of the black-robed bishops turned deathly pale.
What was Po Xiao's strength? At least he was a quasi-Heavenly level expert, while they were merely at the Profound level. There was no comparison between them and him.
Wasn't this treating them as cannon fodder?
But facing Eugene's order, the black-robed bishops dared not disobey and could only step forward with trepidation.
"Eugene, playing like this is no fun! I don't have time to mess around with you!"
Ye Cangtian glanced at the group of black-robed bishops who stepped forward, looking at Eugene with disdain.
He truly couldn't be bothered to deal with these minor figures.
"What, you think their strength is too weak?"
"Don't worry, take it slow. After you've dealt with them, experts will naturally appear!"
Eugene glanced at Ye Cangtian and said with a cold smile.
He didn't understand Ye Cangtian's cultivation techniques or patterns at all, so he didn't want to risk his red-robed bishops yet.
After all, these red-robed bishops were the generals of various levels in the Silver Armored Knights, cultivated with immense effort by the inner court of Light Hall.
Therefore, for every red-robed bishop lost, the overall combat strength of the Silver Armored Knights would be weakened by one point, and he couldn't afford to lose them.
"Hey! Eugene, you are also a vice-captain of the Knights. Don't you know that you should respect your opponent?"
"Even if you don't respect me, you should respect the lives of your subordinates, right?"
"After all, I've already annihilated the Belok Squad and the Kusi Squad. Do you think these trash can stop me?"
Hearing Eugene's words, Ye Cangtian said with a sly smile.
What!
With this statement, Eugene's eyes widened.
He hadn't received any news from Belok and Kusi for a long time, and he naturally had a bad premonition. Therefore, he had already sent people to investigate the situation.
However, he had only received news that the Belok Squad had been annihilated. As for the status of the Kusi Squad, there was still no reply.
But now that Po Xiao had revealed everything, he really didn't want to believe it, but how could the lack of news from the Kusi Squad for so long be explained?
Thinking this, Eugene's eyes turned somewhat red.
Belok and Kusi were two of his top generals, capable and loyal to him.
Now that they had died in Po Xiao's hands, he wished he could skin Po Xiao alive!
"You few, since Po Xiao has made a request, then go and fulfill it for him!"
Eugene suppressed his anger as much as possible and spoke to the ten red-robed bishops beside him.
"Yes!"
As the ten responded, the group of black-robed bishops who had stepped forward retreated, and the ten red-robed bishops stepped forward.
Before they even reached Ye Cangtian, the ten red-robed bishops had already formed a battle array.
As the auras of the ten merged, spiritual energy armor appeared on them, enveloping them completely.
