Chapter 733: Or You Can Prepare to Collect Her Corpse

To defeat a group of bandits, it was more effective to first defeat the leader. That was a theory everyone knew. Hence, after Xiang Shaoyun captured An Lulu, he was able to achieve his desired result. If he was any slower, all the Overlord Legion members would have probably perished.

Now, there were no deaths yet. However, about eight of them were badly injured and could no longer fight. If it wasn’t for the assistance of a peak Emperor, such as Aikai, the result would have been far worse.

Xiang Shaoyun held An Lulu by the neck. With the strands of dark energy invading her body endlessly, she was completely helpless. Her eyes were filled with indignation. Never before had she suffered such humiliation. Inwardly, she cursed, I will repay this tenfold in the future!

Xiang Shaoyun met Huang Xing’s gaze and replied with a displeased tone, “Come at me if you have the guts. I really want to see if you can really kill us all.”

When Huang Xing met Xiang Shaoyun’s murderous gaze, he instinctively shrank, the words he was about to say stuck in his throat. If Xiang Shaoyun killed An Lulu, as an attendant, Huang Xing would probably have a hard time surviving in the Crushing Sky.

At this time, someone else stepped forth. “Release Lady An, and we will let you leave.”

The person who spoke was a peak fourth-stage Dragon Ascension Realm cultivator, and he was also considered the second strongest in the group. Thus, there was some weight to his words.

Xiang Shaoyun sneered, “After injuring so many of us, won’t it be embarrassing if we just leave like this?”

“What do you want, then?” asked the fourth-stage Emperor.

“Hand over half the gleamstar water you have, or this woman will die,” said Xiang Shaoyun firmly.

The faces of the Crushing Sky members sank. They had collected a considerable amount of gleamstar water, but those were their gains after braving through numerous dangers. Asking them to hand out half their gains was the same as feasting on their flesh and blood.

“Xiang Shaoyun, don’t push it. The leader of the Crushing Sky is Zhan Wushuang,” threatened the fourth-stage Emperor.

Zhan Wushuang was a name that resounded throughout the Dragon Phoenix Academy. He was as famous as Baili Yixiao. Nobody dared to disrespect him. The fourth-stage Emperor was hoping Zhan Wushuang’s name would be enough to scare Xiang Shaoyun off and make him give up on his excessive request.

“What about Zhan Wushuang? Even if he is here in person, my demand will not change,” said Xiang Shaoyun nonchalantly.

His words caused the people from the Crushing Sky to rage. All of them had deep respect for Zhan Wushuang. Since Xiang Shaoyun dared to look down on Zhan Wushuang, it only meant that he was looking down on the entirety of the Crushing Sky. The Crushing Sky members stirred, and some demanded that they immediately kill Xiang Shaoyun and his men.

On the other hand, Tang Longfei was getting anxious as he used voice transmission, “Shaoyun, we should quit while we’re ahead. We can’t provoke Zhan Wushuang.”

However, Xiang Shaoyun completely ignored him and slapped An Lulu.

Pa!

He did not hold back and left a red palm print on An Lulu’s face, causing her face to swell. The Crushing Sky was completely stupefied. They had not imagined that Xiang Shaoyun would really attack, and they started growing nervous.

An Lulu was famous for her bad temper. If she survived, she would definitely seek revenge on Xiang Shaoyun. But if they angered Xiang Shaoyun and caused her to suffer, she would not spare them either.

Thus, the fourth-stage Emperor hurriedly said anxiously, “Calm down, calm down. We can talk it out.”

“I’m giving you one last chance. Hand over half your gleamstar water, or you can prepare to collect her corpse,” said Xiang Shaoyun coldly.

He tightened his grip, causing An Lulu to choke for breath while her eyes started rolling over. It was evident Xiang Shaoyun was really prepared to kill and wasn’t affected by his captive’s beauty.

“Quick, everyone, hand over half your gleamstar water,” hastily commanded the fourth-stage Emperor.

An Lulu had extremely high status in the Crushing Sky, and Zhan Wushuang trusted her highly. If something bad happened to her, all of them would suffer. Some of them started taking out their gleamstar water unhappily.

Sure enough, the Crushing Sky people had gotten great harvests. Each of them had taken out no less than three drops of gleamstar water. The people from the Overlord Legion were gulping endlessly, thinking of how they were becoming rich just by extorting the Crushing Sky.

Xiang Shaoyun sent Aikai to collect the gleamstar water. At the same time, he lessened the strength of his grip on An Lulu’s neck, allowing her to breathe.

“Take out all your gleamstar water,” Xiang Shaoyun said to An Lulu.

An Lulu had just stabilized her breath and had yet to recover her mental state. When she heard Xiang Shaoyun’s demand, fury raged within her. And due to her chaotic blood circulation, she spat up blood once again. One could say that she was spitting blood from anger!

“Hmph. Don’t pretend to be dead. You had snatched the gleamstar water that should have belonged to the Overlord Legion. I am merely asking you to return what you stole,” said Xiang Shaoyun coldly.

An Lulu felt extremely humiliated, wishing for nothing more than to tear Xiang Shaoyun apart alive. Unfortunately, her life was in his hands, and she was not qualified to talk terms with him. Without hesitation, she took out one-third of the gleamstar water she had on her. The portions she took out were nicely stored in bottles. There were dozens of drops in total.

After taking them all, Xiang Shaoyun said, “Trying to dismiss me with just this? Do you think I’m stupid?”

An Lulu’s eyes were filled with anger, but she could only take out another third of what she had.

“Th-this is all I have. If you don’t believe me, just kill me!” said An Lulu in advance to prevent Xiang Shaoyun from continuing to extort her.

Xiang Shaoyun decided to quit while ahead and said to Tang Longfei, “Big Brother Tang, you guys leave first. Don’t wait for me.”

He then handed over the gleamstar water he had gotten from the Crushing Sky members.

Tang Longfei nodded and said, “Overlord, take care.” He then turned and said to the Overlord Legion, “Let’s leave now.”

And just like that, the Overlord Legion left without any hesitation. They firmly believed that their overlord would be able to leave safely. As for the Crushing Sky, they could only watch as the Overlord Legion left. Despite their unsightly expressions, none dared to do anything. Finally, Xiang Shaoyun tossed An Lulu over to them when Tang Longfei and the others were gone.

The fourth-stage Emperor quickly caught An Lulu before saying, “Everyone, work together and kill him!”

At his command, all the people from the Crushing Sky attacked.
