Chapter 651: Gathering Experts From Every Direction (Three)

A cold sneer crept onto Huang Tianba’s face when he saw the black-robed elder crush the jade stone. “Jin Tian, Jing Feng, it would appear that you invited some helpers before you arrived.”

“You guess correctly, Huang Tianba. Allow us two to inform you of our good news. Our Hongfu clan is now allied to the Yan family through a bond of blood. From today on, whatever sorrows or celebrations are to be had, our two families will live through both of them together. Thus, we’ve invited the lord of the Yan family, Yan Nan, to join us today.” One of the two smiled.

The Hongfu clan had two Saint Rulers who were brothers by birth. One of them was called Jin Tian and was at the Third Heavenly Layer. More importantly was the fact that he owned a Ruler Armament that allowed him to fight on par with a Fourth Heavenly Layer Saint Ruler. Even a Fifth Heavenly Layer Saint Ruler would have to put a little more effort in fighting him.

Jin Tian’s younger brother Jin Feng was a Second Heavenly Layer Saint Ruler with a Ruler Armament of his own so that he could fight against a Third Heavenly Layer Saint Ruler and defend against a Fourth Heavenly Layer Saint Ruler. Paired with his brother, they could contend with a Fifth Heavenly Layer Saint Ruler.

“Jin Tian, Jin Feng, does your Hongfu clan also wish for a share of the tungsten alloy?” Huang Tianba sneered.

“That is indeed our goal.” The Hongfu clan didn’t bother to deny the truth. “The tungsten alloy is an extremely precious object. Even a mountain of purple gold wouldn’t be worth a deposit of tungsten alloy, let alone a tremendous wealth like this. How could our Hongfu clan ignore it?”

Huang Tianba snorted, “Jin Tian, Jin Feng, trying to take tungsten alloy by yourselves is nothing more than the dreams of a madman. Do you not know that Jian Chen, the captain of the Flame Mercenaries, is also an Imperial Protector of the Qinhuang Kingdom?”

“Don’t even bother mentioning the Qinhuang Kingdom! Our Hongfu clan may be hermits, but we aren’t deaf to the world. With the restoration of the previous regime of the Holy Empire of the Three Great Empires, the subordinate Qinhuang Kingdom has no other choice but to get involved! They can hardly protect themselves, let alone spare a finger in this matter.” Jin Tian spoke.

“I underestimated your knowledge, it seems.” Huang Tianba grumbled.

No sooner did Huang Tianba finish speaking when another figure came speeding toward them at the speed of lightning. Coming to a stop right by the side of Jin Feng and Jin Tian, this newcomer stood in the air with an intimidating amount of pressure radiating from his body, stifling the air around.

The newcomer looked to be in his forties in age. His hair was down to his waist, but it was being blown this way and that in the air. His stature was bulky and his figure was doughty with tanned skin to complement his build. In truth, he looked more like a violent black bear.

Staring calmly at this man, Huang Tianba said, “Lord Yan, it would be best for your family to stay out of this affair. Understand that the tungsten alloy is an object that’ll burn the hand of those that touch it. Even with the Yan and the Hongfu, you will not be able to safeguard it from the others.”

“Combined with us, the possibilities of taking the tungsten alloy would perhaps go up.”Situ Qing coldly laughed. Cupping his hands in greeting to the three men, he said, “My friends, I presume you know that judging by our earlier fight, the two of us were on par with one another. Victory won’t be an easy task, but if we join forces, then the deposit will be ours. Would a fifty-fifty share suffice with you three?”

“Excellently so!” The Saint Ruler from the Hongfu clan agreed straight away. He knew that out of all the Saint Rulers here, his party was currently the weakest group. If they didn’t join forces with one of the two, they’d lose for sure.

“Let that be it then. We’ll have Bi Hai deal with Huang Tianba, and the four of us will fight to kill Jian Chen.” Situ Qing spoke. Jian Chen was the target of his grudge, and Situ Qing wished to kill him. However, he lacked the power to do so. If he didn’t hurry to improve his odds, he’d perhaps be the one to lose his life instead.

“That’ll do. Then let us fight at once. The sooner we take the tungsten alloy, the better. A dream is only a dream during the night.” Lord Yan calmly spoke without ever once considering Jian Chen to be a foe to contend with.

“One moment!” Jian Chen’s voice suddenly made itself known as they were talking to one another.

“Jian Chen, what more do you have to say before your imminent death?” Situ Qing sneered.

As if mocking Situ Qing, Jian Chen gave him a strange look, “Saint Ruler, do you really think that if you ally yourself with the Hongfu clan and the Yan family, you’d be able to take the tungten alloy? How laughably naive you are.”

“I need none of your concern, Jian Chen!” Situ Qing’s eyes flashed crimson, “Do you really think you’re safe yourself? There’s no way for you to escape today’s fate!”

“Very well, then allow me to show you how I’ll escape this fate today.” Jian Chen smiled before turning in another direction. “Seniors, you have come all this way today, there is no need to hide yourself. If you could, please show yourselves!” He cried out loud with a voice that echoed further and further beyond into the landscape.

“Hahahaha! Jian Chen, you truly do deserve the title of being the King of Mercenaries! You have such power at such a tender age, and you’re able to sense even us as well! Not bad at all, you are a praiseworthy one!” An elderly voice replied to Jian Chen with an equally loud volume.

Then just ten kilometers away, two figures in white materialized into the world, but following their arrival, another three elders suddenly made themselves known as well.

Originally ecstatic with the chance of being able to win, Situ Qing’s joy plummeted as soon as he saw these five men appear out of nowhere. Even the three Saint Rulers from the Hongfu clan and Yan family grew stern as well. The arrival of these five changed the battlefield drastically.

“Everyone, we’ve seen our fill of entertainment. Let us all reveal ourselves then.” One elder smiled as he addressed the empty air around him.

One by one, figures began to appear out of nowhere throughout the area. In a short few moments, over a dozen unknown figures filled the sky, and all of them were Saint Rulers!
