Chapter 1369: Chapter 1368: Negotiation
"Do you think theyâll come?" In the Angel Faction, some were worried. If the others didnât show up, wouldnât this be a wasted effort?
The leading Angel said flatly, "Donât worry, even if they donât come, itâs no big deal. At worst, weâll kill these three Divine Realm people and let the other side know that the Angel World isnât to be trifled with!"
On the Heavenly Battlefield, it was inherently a battle of life and death between sworn enemies. The Angels captured them alive as they were more valuable alive, offering more benefits. However, when they felt threatened, they wouldnât hesitate to be ruthless; after all, none of them were saints.
Time passed bit by bit, and soon two hours elapsed.
"Looks like your comrades arenât planning to save you!" On the open ground ahead, three Divine Realm captives had their Cultivation sealed and were bound to the ground.
Upon hearing the Angelsâ sarcastic and teasing tone, Xiao Huohuo couldnât hold back: "Pah, you bunch of Bird People! If you hadnât used such despicable means, how could you have captured me? Have the guts to release me for a one-on-one fight; if I donât beat the shit out of you, I wonât be named Xiao."
With a thud, an Angel beside him kicked him harshly in the stomach, causing cold sweat to drip down Xiao Huohuoâs head.
"So arrogant, even as a defeated opponent. Do you want to be the first to die?" That Angel said coldly.
Xiao Huohuo sneered, unfazed by the threat: "Oh dear, Iâm so scared! Why donât you kill me if you have the guts? What are you waiting for? Let me tell you, the Xiao Family never surrenders; when you canât kill me, Iâll kill all of you later!"
That Angel raised an eyebrow and kicked his chest again hard.
With a crack, a dull sound came from Xiao Huohuoâs chest as his rib was broken, and he coughed heavily with blood uncontrollably flowing from his mouth.
The other two Divine Realm experts shivered at this sight, feeling a flash of fear in their eyes. After all, they were already prisoners, so why seek further punishment?
"Pah! Havenât you eaten? With such little strength, itâs not enough for me to get a massage!" Xiao Huohuo looked scornful.
The Angel was about to move, but was stopped: "Enough, whatâs the point of arguing with a prisoner!"
The leading Angelâs eyes showed seriousness: "Since the agreed time has arrived and they havenât appeared, we can only kill one to warn the others and show our determination!"
"Captain, which one should we kill first? I suggest killing that noisy guy; just hearing his voice makes me annoyed!" That Angel said.
The Angel Captain glanced at Xiao Huohuo, then said, "Leave this one for now; letâs choose one from the other two to kill. I want to see what expression youâll have when your comrade dies in front of you."
"Alright, Iâll go kill him!" Saying this, the Angel walked towards the other two captives.
At this moment, a gust of wind swept in, causing the Angelâs body to halt and dodge, letting the attack miss.
The Angelsâ faces showed smiles, indicating that someone was indeed taking the bait.
"You Bird Peopleâs patience really sucks!" Two figures appeared in front of the Angels, one of the men chuckled: "You can only exercise power against the unarmed, right?"
"Itâs them, theyâre the ones who ambushed us!" Three Angels recognized the two people and couldnât hold back their anger.
The two appearing were Long Sheng and Ji Jian.
"Is it them?" The Angel Captain eyed these two, squinting: "Two experts at the Peak Perfection of God Realm, one step away from entering the Sea of Gods Realm. Indeed, people from the Divine Realm shouldnât be underestimated."
As Ji Jian and Long Sheng approached, the Angels quickly surrounded them, cutting off their retreat.
"Didnât think youâd actually come!" The Angel previously ambushed looked at Ji Jian and Long Sheng with hatred and said, "I must commend your foolishness; do you really think you two are a match for us?"
Ji Jian smiled pleasantly and said, "I think you misunderstood; weâre two, youâre eight. How could we be your match? We mainly came here to negotiate."
"Negotiate?" The Angels were puzzled.
Ji Jian said lightly, "We in the Divine Realm now have only four with combat ability, but the other two are our enemies, making cooperation impossible. Calculating it, we stand no chance whatsoever!"
"Therefore, I hope we can resolve this differently rather than a life-and-death struggle! You should also know that even though itâs just the two of us, if we really went all out, you would necessarily pay the price!"
"What do you want to do?" At this moment, the Angel Captain spoke calmly.
Ji Jian chuckled: "Itâs simple, weâll hand over our Token, but you must return our comrades to us."
"Hand over the Token?" The Angel Captain frowned: "You mean to forfeit this Heavenly Battlefield battle?"
Ji Jian nodded, sighed, and said: "Correct, we arenât your match now, and if we fight, itâll only lead to death. Since thatâs the case, thereâs no need for battle. But we must take our comrades back; as an exchange, do you agree?"
The Angel Captain showed some doubt; he didnât believe they were really surrendering, but if not surrendering, what was their purpose for appearing? Although these two were strong, they couldnât possibly be a match for eight Angels.
"Alright, I agree!" Moments later, the Angel Captain said deeply: "But I have a requirement, hand over your Token first, then weâll release the prisoners."
Ji Jian stared at the Angel Captain: "If we hand over the Token and you donât release them, then what?"
The Angel Captain smiled lightly: "Do you have another choice now?"
Ji Jian thought for a moment, then took out the Token: "True, letâs hope you keep your promise, or..."
With that, Ji Jian flicked his hand, and the Token flew towards a nearby Angel.
The Angel instinctively caught it, and at this moment, Ji Jianâs lips curved into a meaningful smile.
"Not good, throw the Token away!" The Angel Captain yelled upon seeing this.
"Too late, boom!" Ji Jian chuckled, and then the Token exploded, a cloud of smoke rising up, instantly engulfing everyone.
