Tuls beamed with satisfaction as he surveyed the scene.
He glanced at Ye Cangtian again and said, "Ye Cangtian, you see, it's not just me who refuses to surrender, but my brothers as well."
He paused and continued, "There's an old saying in Huaxia: When two countries are at war, envoys are not beheaded. On this basis, I will let you go today. Get lost!"
Out of caution, Tuls chose to expel Ye Cangtian rather than attack him directly. Although Ye Cangtian's actions seemed foolish, he was certain that Ye Cangtian had a backup plan. The Holy Light Hall had indeed suffered heavy losses yesterday, and their morale was low, making it unsuitable for immediate combat.
Meanwhile, Ye Cangtian heard Tuls' words and glanced at Yang Chen, saying slowly, "Brother, it seems they are unappreciative. What do you think we should do about this matter?"
"Whoever is unappreciative, eliminate them!" Yang Chen replied concisely.
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian looked at Tuls and said mockingly, "Tuls, you heard that too. My brother has a bad temper. If he truly gets angry, I can't stop him, so I advise you to think carefully. Also, let some of the informed people spread the word about what happened yesterday; it might help you make your decision..."
At these words, the Holy Light Hall faction erupted in agitation. Only a few people, like Miaomiao, had survived yesterday. When these individuals saw Ye Cangtian and Yang Chen, their eyes were filled with fear, but the surrounding people's excitement masked their terror. Now that Ye Cangtian brought up the matter again, they immediately remembered. They could no longer hide their fear, and their bodies began to retreat little by little. However, these actions were noticed by their companions, who instantly understood what was happening. This sentiment slowly spread, and gradually, everyone in the large camp looked at Ye Cangtian and Yang Chen with apprehension and dread.
"Ye Cangtian, I intended to let you leave, but you've courted disaster!"
"Since that's the case, I have no choice but to eliminate you!"
Feeling the morale of those around him plummet, Tuls gritted his teeth and spoke with fierce determination. The other party had been stirring up trouble, and now they were inciting the troops. He had to respond. Otherwise, it would be difficult for these people to stand against the Huaxia forces in the future.
As the words fell, Tuls raised his hand and made an offensive gesture.
Silence. A deathly silence. Remembering yesterday's events, everyone, even the cardinals, was filled with dread towards Ye Cangtian and dared not rush forward. Seeing this, Tuls' heart sank, and he grew even more furious. He roared, "Whoever does not act, I will kill them first!"
With his roar, the Holy Light Hall forces finally stirred. For them, stepping forward meant death, and retreating also meant death. Thus, most chose to act, as it absolved them of any guilt, and even if they died in battle, they would be honored as martyrs.
"Nami."
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian called out softly, and the next moment, Nami appeared by his side. Then, Ye Cangtian spoke directly, "Eliminate the cardinals first, then deal with the pawns. Tuls is mine!"
Hearing Ye Cangtian's arrangement, Nami and Yang Chen immediately nodded.
But at that moment, screams erupted from within the Holy Light Hall faction.
"Brothers, retreat quickly! They are using that strange technique again..."
Those who had experienced yesterday’s events, hearing Ye Cangtian's words, screamed and alerted their companions.
Huh?
The people around them were stunned, still somewhat bewildered. However, in the next instant, they felt as if their minds were collapsing...
*Poof! Poof! Poof...*
Ye Cangtian gave no one any quarter. His first move was a soul shock. Since the other party had not chosen to surrender, he would naturally not hold back. At the same time, Yang Chen's Divine Demon Twin Axes, coupled with Nami's torrential water arrows, shot out.
In an instant, blood flowers bloomed throughout the Holy Light Hall faction, cries of agony echoed everywhere, and blood stained the ground. In mere moments, all ten remaining cardinals lay in pools of blood, along with numerous black-robed cardinals and divine envoys who also met their demise.
The corpses scattered across the ground and the increasingly thick scent of blood made Tuls tremble. He finally understood why Morris and the others had suffered such heavy losses yesterday despite having a clear advantage. Yang Chen and Nami's attacks were indeed incredibly fierce. Most importantly, his subordinates, at that instant, seemed to have become idiots, forgetting to dodge. It must have been Ye Cangtian, using some sorcery.
With this thought, Tuls glared at Ye Cangtian and roared, "Ye Cangtian, I'm taking your life today!"
As he roared, Tuls charged forward, instantly appearing before Ye Cangtian. He then unleashed his cross longsword, each swing carrying a sharp sword energy, brimming with power.
Facing Tuls, Ye Cangtian wore a mocking smile. While dodging, he said, "Want to know how Morris died?"
Huh?
Tuls froze for a moment, then saw Ye Cangtian raise his ice crystal dagger and hurl it fiercely at him.
*Clang!*
A faint sound echoed. Tuls was stunned again. Like Morris before him, he felt no power in the opponent's attack. However, his instincts told him that there was definitely a trap. As expected, in the next instant, immense force surged from his longsword, instantly shattering it.
*Ching!*
A sharp tearing sound followed. The cloth on Tuls' chest was ripped open with a long gash, and blood spurted out. Looking at the wound on his body, Tuls' clothes were instantly drenched in cold sweat. Fortunately, he had reacted quickly; otherwise, this single blow could have cost him his life.
*Clap! Clap! Clap!*
Seeing that he hadn't dispatched Tuls with one move, Ye Cangtian clapped his hands and said with a smile, "As expected of a so-called Grand Commander. You're quite fast to dodge my attack; that's truly rare!"
Hearing the opponent's light laughter, Tuls' face turned so grim it seemed as if blood could drip from it. To him, this was clearly naked mockery. With that thought, he looked up fiercely at Ye Cangtian, snorted, and said, "Ye Cangtian, don't think you've won!"
As he spoke, Tuls pressed forward again, his iron fists relentlessly striking towards Ye Cangtian.
*Crack! Crack!*
In the next moment, both his wrists were firmly gripped by Ye Cangtian. Ye Cangtian smiled faintly, and then two sickening cracks of bone breaking were heard. His wrists instantly snapped, causing Tuls to scream out in pain.
*Boom!*
This was not the end. While Tuls was screaming, Ye Cangtian struck him directly in the chest with a palm. Instantly, Tuls spat out a mouthful of blood, and his entire body flew backward like a kite with a broken string.
At the same time, Nami and Yang Chen on the other side also stopped. After eliminating the cardinals, no one in the Holy Light Hall could withstand their attacks. Under their onslaught, everyone present from the Holy Light Hall had fallen in pools of blood.
Having completed their mission, Nami returned to the Qiankun Pouch. Ye Cangtian then walked to Tuls and crouched down, "Tuls, I can give you one last chance to abandon the darkness and join the light. How about joining the Huaxia forces?"
"You dream!"
"The Bronze Armor Knights only have those who die in battle, not those who surrender!"
Hearing Ye Cangtian's words, Tuls roared with rage. As the commander of the Bronze Armor Knights, he was naturally loyal to the Holy Light Hall. Moreover, so many brothers had fallen in pools of blood; their blood had not yet dried, and their spirits had not yet dispersed. How could he surrender?
"Are there really no ones who surrender?"
Ye Cangtian chuckled helplessly and then slowly said, "Maren, it's time for you to reveal yourself."
Although Ye Cangtian's voice was not loud, it carried a trace of spiritual energy, ensuring that the entire camp could hear.
Maren?
Tuls showed a hint of disdain on his face. Maren had followed him for so long; he naturally understood Maren very well.
