Jin Yaoyang stroked his rounded chin, smugly pleased.
"Wu Lingtian, as allies, don't say I didn't warn you. Submitting to Young Master Li is your last resort for survival."
Wu Lingtian glanced at Jin Yaoyang with disgust. If it weren't for him, the Eastern Alliance wouldn't be in such a desperate situation.
"Members of the White kingdom Alliance, are you really willing to be lackeys of the Kimchi Alliance?"
"And members of the White Bear Alliance, although your leader Petrov chose to commit suicide to protect you, have you ever considered why he would rather die than become Li Zekai's lackey?"
Jin Yaoyang was furious. Wu Lingtian not only ignored him but also insulted him in every sentence.
The members of the white kingdom and White Bear Alliance lowered their heads in shame, their expressions complex.
"Hahaha!"
"Well said, no wonder she's the woman I've set my sights on."
Li Zekai clapped and cheered, completely disregarding Jin Yaoyang and the others' feelings.
He greedily eyed Wu Lingtian, his possessiveness overflowing.
"Listen up, everyone in the Dragon Alliance! If your alliance leader is willing to be my woman, I'll let you go."
"If she doesn't agree, I'll kill you one by one, slowly, until she agrees."
Li Zekai mockingly swept his gaze across the Dragon Alliance members, a playful glint in his eyes:
"Those who don't want to die, hurry up and beg your alliance leader!"
"In one minute, this young master will be unleashing a massacre, hahaha!"
Those Dragon Alliance members who already harbored this intention looked at the countdown. There really was only one minute left, and this terrified them.
Before anyone else could speak, they hurriedly shouted.
"Leader, for our lives, please submit to Young Master Li!"
"Yes! Leader, just give in."
"Leader, think of Jin Yaoyang and Petrov. Although their methods differed, they both ensured the lives of their members. Can't you also endure this humiliation for us?"
"This isn't enduring humiliation! This is enjoying life! Following Young Master Li, we'll have everything we want, how glorious!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Leader, even if you don't think of yourself, you should think of everyone in the Dragon Alliance!"
Zhao Yunlong listened to their words, his heart breaking.
"You—"
Wu Lingtian waved her hand, stopping Zhao Yunlong.
She coldly glanced at those trying to persuade him to surrender, her phoenix eyes sweeping over the Dragon Alliance members, and spoke in a deep voice.
"Those who want me to submit to Li Zekai, stand up."
"Those who want me to resist to the end, kneel down and submit."
The crowd exchanged glances, their expressions varied.
Zhao Yunlong squatted down without hesitation.
Lü Wushuang and Xiang Tianyu, expressionless, slowly squatted down.
Lü Qiling, without a word, followed Lü Wushuang.
Tsunade sighed softly, a faint sadness in her eyes, and silently squatted down.
Fang Xian shook his head and smiled bitterly. This time, he would cooperate by squatting down first, and then punish Wu Lingtian with squats later.
Seeing Fang Xian squat down, the women also squatted down in unison.
Many members followed suit.
However, less than half of them submitted; the vast majority remained standing.
Some looked grim, some lowered their heads and remained silent, some seemed indifferent, and some gloated.
Wu Lingtian glanced at the standing people, somewhat disappointed.
Those who had persuaded him to surrender, seeing that most people agreed to Wu Lingtian submitting to Li Zekai, couldn't help but feel smug.
"Alliance Leader, the minority must submit to the majority; you must heed the will of the people."
"That's right, Alliance Leader, you must think twice."
Wu Lingtian coldly looked at them, a contemptuous smile on his face.
"Did I say there would be a vote?"
The standing people exchanged bewildered glances.
"Alliance Leader, you're telling us to stand up? Isn't that a vote?"
"Then what do you mean?"
Wu Lingtian slightly raised his chin, his eyes icy.
"Of course, it's to expose your true colors and, incidentally, to clean house."
[Alliance War Countdown: 00:00:00]
The Alliance War began. Wu Lingtian raised his right hand, sweeping it horizontally with lightning speed.
"Whoosh!"
A dazzling beam of light shot out like a sharp blade, rushing forward with overwhelming force.
Where the light passed, the air seemed to be torn apart, emitting a sharp whistling sound.
A flash of cold light struck, and those standing had no time to react before being struck by the terrifying beam.
Their faces were filled with disbelief, utterly powerless to resist, all sliced in half.
Blood gushed out, splattering onto those crouching below, staining their motionless bodies crimson.
The air was thick with the stench of blood and a chilling sense of despair.
The Western Alliance members gasped at the sight.
Wu Lingtian killed without hesitation, displaying a desperate, all-or-nothing gamble.
Fang Xian narrowed his eyes as he watched his members sliced in two. Thankfully, he and his wife were crouching behind Wu Lingtian; otherwise, they too would have been stained with blood.
As for those crouching, baptized in blood, they would surely become loyal pillars of the Dragon Alliance.
Wu Lingtian coldly observed his members sliced in two, showing no pity whatsoever.
Watching the decisive and ruthless Wu Lingtian, Li Zekai excitedly stood up, clapping and cheering wildly.
"Excellent! Well done!"
"This is the woman I, Li Zekai, have set my sights on!"
His eyes were filled with greed, his tongue licking his lips excitedly.
"Wu Lingtian, I must have you!"
Wu Lingtian looked at Li Zekai contemptuously, extending his index finger.
"You? You're not worthy."
"Whoosh!"
Li Zekai's pupils widened, his previous composure gone, and he hurriedly dodged.
A beam of light grazed past him, piercing through everyone behind him, instantly killing them all.
This move not only made Li Zekai and the Western Alliance members break out in a cold sweat, but also filled Lü Wushuang, Xiang Tianyu, Hankku, Medusa, and others with immense joy.
At this moment, Wu Lingtian seemed reborn, terrifyingly strong.
The Dragon Kingdom members who were crouching down were overjoyed to see Wu Lingtian possess such formidable strength.
What was originally a certain death trap now seemed like a possibility, with Wu Lingtian potentially leading them to victory.
At the same time, they were also thankful that their choice had been incredibly wise.
Who wants to die when they can live?
Li Zekai's lips twitched. He knew Wu Lingtian was a "light attribute" user, possessing unparalleled speed and penetrating power in his skills.
But he never expected that in such a short time, Wu Lingtian could threaten his life.
He clenched his fists, his face contorted in a grimace.
"Wu Lingtian, impressive skills. I didn't expect you to be hiding so much. You've fooled everyone."
The Western Alliance members finally realized that Wu Lingtian had been concealing his strength all along; no wonder his attack just now was so terrifying.
Jin Yaoyang unconsciously swallowed. He had initially thought betrayal would guarantee his survival, but the situation had now become unpredictable again.
After all, in the vast world's battlefield, often just one person could change the course of a battle.
The eagle-man, Torras, snorted coldly and strode out with a terrifying aura.
"Insignificant humans, it's time to show you the difference between superior and inferior races."
Empress Hankku and Queen Medusa strode out with long legs, their eyes sharp and their killing intent overwhelming.
"Torras, your opponent is here."
"Today is your
death day!"
