Chapter 1088 - 1088: A Large Flock of Sitting Ducks
The originally smug Venerable Lin Ye was stunned.This guy got deceived by me, yet he's still praising me?
Immediately, he cursed inwardly.
Pretend, just keep pretending to be calm!
You're even better at pretending than I am!
He didn't know that Brother Cheng was genuinely having a good time.
Being offered so many sitting ducks voluntarily, isn't that worth celebrating?
As for Venerable Lin Ye's little schemes, Brother Cheng had already seen through them from the start and even predicted what he would do.
He just pretended not to know and watched him put on a show.
Sect Leader Jiang is very clever; sometimes he just feigns ignorance on purpose.
Most of the time, it's because the system is so powerful, he doesn't need to rack his brains.
"Lin Ye, is this the treasure you mentioned?"
More than three hundred Evil Immortals had surrounded them, and an expert in the Emperor Realm Ninth Layer on the left looked displeased.
"With just a few weaklings, you called all of us here?"
"Did you think it was cheap to bring us out?"
Venerable Lin Ye chuckled and feigned apology.
"Oh, Venerable Su Pu, you really misunderstood me..."
"Don't be fooled by their low realm. The leader's power is exceptionally strong; my two companions died by his hand."
He was actually warning them not to underestimate the opponent.
This guy is formidable!
You'd better use all your strength later.
And upon hearing this, the relaxed and contemptuous Evil Immortals turned serious.
Venerable Lin Ye's two companions were Emperor Realm Ninth Layer late-stage experts.
To be able to take them down, Jiang Cheng's power is above any of them!
"Really?"
"Then we should indeed be careful."
Twenty-plus Emperor Realm Ninth Layer experts spread out, and the others brandished their weapons.
A net of heaven and earth had formed.
Venerable Lin Ye crossed his arms, with an amused smile standing aside watching the drama.
Angry, Lai Ping and Bian Xiu cursed vehemently.
"You vile creature, you're utterly detestable!"
"He did it on purpose, definitely on purpose!"
"He even exposed Captain Jiang's power, he's definitely standing on the opposite side, I just knew it..."
"Look how indifferent he looks!"
Facing their accusations, Venerable Lin Ye casually shrugged.
"Your captain gave me the task to call people, not to fight."
"Don't misinterpret good intentions, hahaha!"
This guy was addicted to acting.
At this point, he still didn't openly fall out with Sect Leader Jiang, but pretended to be an innocent teammate.
Yet Brother Cheng didn't blame him at all.
"Indeed, just watch from the side, and help me protect them from being accidentally killed by the battle's aftermath."
Even though Venerable Lin Ye is a top-grade actor, he couldn't quite keep up with Brother Cheng's pace.
Brother, can you really not distinguish friend from foe?
You even asked me to protect your teammates?
And this thought lasted only until this moment.
Sect Leader Jiang took action, starting with a Divine Soul Attack.
The Purple Soul swept across the entire field.
Below Emperor Realm Ninth Layer, the Divine Souls were only Jade Soul Realm, naturally doomed!
Once again, dumplings started falling from the sky.
In just an instant, over three hundred people were reduced to just over twenty Emperor Realm Ninth Layer experts.
Their Divine Souls were Crystal Souls, barely able to hold on for a moment, but still not dead.
Yet all of them were dizzy, with their heads buzzing, unable to smoothly mobilize the Power of Rules.
Then in the next moment, Brother Cheng pulled out the Ice-Clear Dao Sword, officially starting the battle.
With every move, it was still the Five Elements Sword Heart.
But this time, the Five Elements gathered together, multiplying the power several times.
As the Ice Sword swept across, the remaining twenty-plus Emperor Realm Ninth Layer experts' eyes were undimmed and heads undizzy.
Because they were all dead.
Clang!
Brother Cheng re-sheathed the sword and snapped his fingers at Lai Ping and the others in the back.
Reminding them to help collect the loot.
However, this time, the usually adept Lai Ping, Zhong Man, and others didn't move.
All were frightened out of their wits!
Their heads filled with question marks.
What just happened?
Not only were they bewildered, but even the previously smug Venerable Lin Ye didn't understand what just happened.
He could only ascertain one thing—the over three hundred people he called were all dead.
And it was just a matter of seconds.
Not one survived.
He stood there, mouth agape, almost dropping his jaw.
This...
Is it fake?
He painstakingly gathered over three hundred people thinking they'd overrun the guy!
But he was counter-killed instead.
Not just counter-killed, but instantly killed.
This completely surpassed his comprehension.
Brother Cheng's Divine Soul Attack didn't affect him, but now his head buzzed too, almost short-circuiting.
Even for a Supreme, it would be hard to achieve this.
The Supreme has more Origins than Sect Leader Jiang and should be a bit stronger than Jiang Cheng.
But even when a Supreme kills a Venerable, it usually takes a few moves, hard to achieve this instant-kill effect.
Let alone wiping out a group.
One could only say that Brother Cheng himself is truly unique.
On the other side, Lai Ping and others finally snapped out of it.
Then came an endless stream of butter-ups.
"Oh my, oh my, what did I just witness?"
"Captain Jiang effortlessly defeated over three hundred enemies?"
"My admiration for Captain Jiang has surpassed the Heavenly Dao!"
"This is what invincible means!"
"Being with the big boss is just one word—steady!"
Bian Xiu pointed at Venerable Lin Ye, mocking him audaciously.
"Haha, look at that guy, he's scared silly!"
Lai Ping and others recalled the previous incidents, immediately growing furious.
"We can't let him off!"
"Earlier he tricked us; if not for Captain Jiang's overwhelming might, we would have been doomed!"
"Exactly, it's one thing that the boss won, but he did sabotage us!"
In other situations, they wouldn't dare point at an Emperor Realm Ninth Layer expert and curse.
But now with Brother Cheng here, it's a different story.
Being accused, Venerable Lin Ye went weak, slumping in despair.
He knew he was doomed.
The act of calling so many 'enemies' was equivalent to plotting harm.
No one would tolerate such a thing.
He was ready to be executed by Jiang Cheng.
Yet the next moment, Brother Cheng helped him up, even patted his shoulder.
"What nonsense are you all talking about, hurry and collect the loot!"
He unhappily glanced at Lai Ping and others.
"He's contributed to this; without him, how could I have gained so much at once?"
Then Brother Cheng encouraged Venerable Lin Ye, cheering him on.
"You did great this time, keep it up next time!"
The latter suddenly realized he wouldn't be executed, not even feeling joy, just bewilderment.
This guy...
Did he genuinely not notice I tricked him, or is he pretending?
Brother Cheng spoke so sincerely that I couldn't tell for a moment.
