"Qin Bailian, how dare you lay a hand on my Five Poisons Sect?" Gong Heqian shouted angrily.
"Gong Heqian, what do I have to be afraid of? If Han Li hadn't stopped me, I would have killed you long ago," Qin Bailian said coldly.
"You, Qin Bailian, don't be too smug. We'll see who kills whom later." As soon Gong Heqian finished speaking, he immediately exuded the aura of Grandmaster.
Qin Bailian felt the Grandmaster aura emanating from Gong Heqian, and his expression froze. He hadn't expected that Gong Heqian had also advanced.
So many years have passed, and he thought Gong Heqian had no chance of advancing, but unexpectedly, he succeeded in advancing.
If Jiang Liu hadn't come to his aid, he would have been in danger today. Because Jiang Liu had brought ten Minor Grandmaster, and together with him, they should have been able to easily overpower the Five Poisons Sect. Now, the situation was completely reversed.
The result did not disappoint him, because soon he felt two heart-pounding fluctuations coming from afar. Sure enough, not long after, Jiang Liu and the Fire-Winged Monkey appeared on the distant horizon.
Yi Yue sighed and transmitted his voice to Gong Heqian, saying, "If you have the chance, escape! That's Jiang Liu, and he's followed by a Beast Emperor."
Yi Yue did not send a telepathic message to the other Minor Grandmaster and elders, because even if Minor Grandmaster were given the chance, they would not be able to escape.
Before Jiang Liu even reached the group, anyone within the reach of his Divine Sense enveloped by it.
The Fire-Winged Monkey was even more direct, flashing its body and throwing a punch directly at Yi Yue.
Qin Bailian simultaneously attacked Gong Heqian also drew his weapon to fight back.
Yi Yue dodged the Fire-Winged Monkey's attack with a flash, then took out a whistle-like object from his pocket and put it in his mouth.
Soon a strange noise rang out, followed by a rustling sound from the ground, and then a buzzing sound from the sky.
Jiang Liu took a look and thought, "Good heavens, if someone with trypophobia saw this, they would be scared half to death."
The ground was covered with all sorts of poisonous insects, and the air was filled with all kinds of flying insects.
Jiang Liu hadn't expected that Yi Yue of the Five Poisons Sect would be so cautious, even bringing these poisonous insects with him when he left his lair to patrol.
The Fire-Winged Monkey was also very troubled by the dense swarms of all kinds of poisonous insects, and quickly released its mental energy attack.
Then its right hand began to gather energy, and soon the Fire-Winged Monkey's right hand condensed into a long staff, while a set of glittering armor condensed on its body.
Jiang Liu conveyed instructions to the Fire-Winged Monkey through mental imprint, instructing it to focus on dealing with the poisonous insects, while leaving the Yi Yue to him.
The Fire-Winged Monkey then roared to the sky, instantly wiping out all the poisonous insects within a ten-zhang radius around it.
Although there were many of these poisonous insects, almost all of them were low-level, and none of them reached the level of Lesser Beast King, which is why they couldn't withstand the Fire-Winged Monkey's roar.
It's just that their large numbers cause some trouble for the Fire-Winged Monkey.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jiang Liu directly used the Nebula Shrunken Earth and unleashed the Cloudfall Strike, silently throwing a punch at Yi Yue.
"Ugh!" Caught off guard, Yi Yue was punched in the chest by Jiang Liu, and a mouthful of blood gushed from his lips.
Now, with Jiang Liu's Cloudfall Strike within Nebula Shrunken Earth, he is completely undetectable. Not to mention Grandmaster Yi Yue, even Supreme Master Flowing Cloud Matriarch, a Peak Grandmaster, cannot find Jiang Liu's figure.
Once Jiang Liu's attack began, it was like a violent storm that wouldn't stop.
Immediately, Yi Yue's figure was seen being punched around by Jiang Liu, sometimes to the east and sometimes to the west.
Just as Jiang Liu punched it to the east, another punch from Jiang Liu arrived, sending Yi Yue flying west once more.
If anyone on Blue Star saw this, they would surely exclaim, "That punching bag is incredibly durable!" I wish I had a punching bag like that!
The whistle that Yi Yue had put in his mouth could no longer make a sound, because the blood in Yi Yue's mouth never stopped flowing, and blood kept flowing from the corner of his mouth.
After being bombarded by Jiang Liu for almost a quarter of an hour, Yi Yue finally fell into a coma.
Qin Bailian and Gong Heqian had already stopped fighting, because they had both sensed Yi Yue's miserable state, and both of them looked at Jiang Liu in disbelief.
Everyone couldn't help but think, "Is this even human? He's just using people like punching bags! This is a Grandmaster, not some nobody!"
Both of them involuntarily shivered, then looked at each other and stood aside without saying a word.
Gong Heqian didn't even think about escaping, because he knew that with the speed of the Jiang Liu, he had no chance of running away.
As for the battlefield on the other side, where the Minor Grandmaster were fighting, it was a one-sided situation, with Exotic Weapon Valley completely dominating.
Soon, both sides stopped fighting.
Because they also noticed that something seemed wrong; there was no sound from the battle between the Grandmaster.
The most frustrated one was probably the Fire-Winged Monkey, because he was constantly facing seemingly endless poisonous insects. However, after Yi Yue was bombarded by Jiang Liu, the number of poisonous insects began to decrease.
The Fire-Winged Monkey stopped when the last movable poisonous insect was killed by it. However, its body was covered with the blood, skin flakes, and bits of flesh of the poisonous insects, making it look as if it had just emerged from a pile of corpses.
Jiang Liu slapped Yi Yue on the back of the head, knocking the whistle out of his mouth.
He then took the whistle with his own energy and casually tossed it toward Qin Bailian.
Qin Bailian accepted it speechlessly; he was also disgusted with it, but he dared not refuse. Hadn't he seen Yi Yue's miserable state before his eyes?
Then Jiang Liu directly launched several Yuan Qi ice needles at Yi Yue, immobilizing his dantian, before waking Yi Yue up with a palm strike.
After Yi Yue woke up, he looked at Jiang Liu and remained silent for a long time.
Finally, as if making a decision, he sighed and knelt down directly before Jiang Liu, saying, "Master Jiang, I don't ask you to spare my life, I only ask you to spare the disciples and followers of my sect."
"Heretical leader, I can spare you, but you must agree to one condition," Jiang Liu said to Yi Yue via telepathy.
Yi Yue looked at Jiang Liu with a strange expression, wondering what he meant. He, Yi Yue, had roamed the Jianghu for decades and had never suffered such a crushing defeat as he had today.
However, he was truly defeated by Jiang Liu today. Although Jiang Liu had initially been suspected of launching a sneak attack, and his strongest guardian worm didn't even have time to make a move.
However, Jiang Liu's subsequent series of attacks made him realize that even if he were to fight Jiang Liu fair and square, he would not be Jiang Liu's match.
That's why he made up his mind to beg Jiang Liu for mercy, hoping that Jiang Liu would spare his disciples. After all, it's the rule of the Jianghu for the weak to beg for mercy from the strong, and it's not shameful.
"I wonder what conditions Jiang Zhenchuan wants me to agree to?" Yi Yue also asked Jiang Liu telepathically.
"If you swear allegiance to me for thirty years, I will spare all of you," Jiang Liu said calmly via telepathy.
"Thirty years?" Yi Yue repeated, thinking that he had just turned one hundred years old and had at least two hundred more years to live. It was a good deal to pledge allegiance to Jiang Liu for thirty years.
Immediately, Yi Yue agreed and swore allegiance to Jiang Liu for thirty years, in accordance with the oath-taking customs of this world.
This time, Jiang Liu's senses were even clearer. A bright light flashed in the sky in response to Yi Yue's vow, and only Yi Yue and Jiang Liu could see this light.
Jiang Liu also sensed that a karmic connection had been formed between him and Yi Yue. He didn't know what the consequences of this connection would be, but he would be careful not to make anyone swear allegiance so easily anymore.
