Chapter 16 - Bloodline

Ji Hao crooked his finger provokingly towards Ji Shu.

“Haha! This is my son! Hey, this is my boy!” Ji Xia proudly laughed out loud, took two steps back and said to some other people.

Ji Shu’s face twitched. He also took few steps back then shook his head with a sneer on his face.

“Xia, my brother. Do you understand why I have challenged you in front of our ancestors? That’s because I’m stronger than you, in every aspect. Even my son is stronger than you. I shall become the next leader.”

He then turned around, and faced the crowd. He raised his arms again and said loudly: “This is the rule of the Southern Wasteland! People with enough strength gets to lead! Do we need another word here...”

The thousands of Fire Crow Clan’s people who were standing there remained silent. The Fire Crow Clan’s people were honest and simple, you could see what was going on in their minds just by taking a look at their faces.

Some people their face was filled with anger. Those were Ji Xia’s people or those who had been very close to him.

Some people were nodding and whispering to each other. These people didn't seem to know Ji Xia well, but had not bad relationship with Ji Shu and his branch clan. Simply judging from the natural rule of the Southern Wasteland, Ji Shu’s words didn’t seem to be wrong.

Some people seemed indifferent towards this fight. They were neutral, neither related to Ji Shu or Ji Xia. Their own branch clans were neither too powerful nor too weak. This power struggle had nothing to do with them.

And there were another group of people, who seemed too nervous to even take a breath. Obviously, they were Ji Shu’s people.

Ji Hao glanced at all these people, laughed aloud and interrupted Ji Shu’s talk. He said: “Ji Shu, my dear uncle. If my Abba’s Magus Acupoints hadn't been broken, I doubt you even would dare to think like that. Cut the crap! Ji Wu! Come out!”

Ji Shu’s facial expression changed, subconsciously he had shut his mouth.

Ji Wu held his shield and axe, walked out along with a metal striking sound.

He seemed well prepared for this fight. Beside his shield and axe, he was wearing a steel armour. The same totem had been carved on the surface of the armour - A tower with a blood-red eye floating on top of it.

Additionally, he was also wearing a pair of long steel boots, which were even covering his knees. The heavy steel boots clashed the rocks and ignited sparks when he walked.

This pair of boots was weirdly shaped. Two of heliciform metal spearheads were welded on the kneecaps, which seemed capable of leaving puncture wounds anywhere on a human body.

“Haha! Ji Hao, today is the day! Prepare to die!” Ji Wu yelled at Ji Hao. “Have you seen my armour and boots? How do you plan to fight against me with the crap you’re wearing?”

Meanwhile, Ji Wu’s armour and boots had started to emit a faint light. Ji Hao sensed a great power coming from his body.

A hubbub was started in the crowd. Some people whistled sharply to express their attitude.

Compared with Ji Wu, who was armed to the teeth, Ji Hao was only wearing a simple leather armour. This leather armour was made of lion skin, hunted by Ji Hao himself in the jungle. Qing Fu had sewed this armour and she had also attached a few spell symbols on it.
