Netherworld Retrograde-Chapter 531 - 250 Choices
To save the Demon General who was caught secretly spying on the Emperor’s Fall Chosen One, Jiang Yong gave up control of the Fifth Legion. It was an enormous sacrifice!
The Blood God Faction’s Qinling Headquarters had seven legions, each controlled by the Chosen Ones and Demon Generals like Jiang Yong. These formed the elite combat force of the Headquarters.
Especially the first five legions, which were the private reserve that Execution God Chosen had accumulated over the years.
In war after war, through slaughter after slaughter, these five powerful legions had been honed.
Each legion had over three thousand Bloodsuckers and battle-hardened, fully-armed Chaos Soldiers.
There was no dispute; these five established legions were far stronger than those created by Red Fury and Blood Drink.
This represented the right to speak for people like Jiang Yong: they wielded the strongest force of the Main Base, the greatest power bestowed upon them by the Execution God Chosen.
Theoretically, a Demon General’s death was just that, and it was not worth the price of a legion. Even with many years of comradeship, Jiang Yong should not have made such a trade.
But Jiang Yong knew all too well that to quell the wrath of a Divine Chosen One, he had to show enough sincerity.
Otherwise, the infighting between the two Divine Chosen One’s Sects would come at an even higher cost.
After Emperor’s Fall had absorbed parts of Red Fury and Blood Drink’s legacy and troops, if they really fought it out, he could indeed win, but how would it all end?
Especially since... Red Fury and Blood Drink Chosen One had died, and Execution God Chosen One’s whereabouts were uncertain; Emperor’s Fall was the only Chosen One of the Headquarters...
With no Chaos Demon in the world, with no Chosen Ones Ascend Demon, he was the honored one here.
Would he risk angering the Divine to replace him?
Impossible!
In the Blood God Sect, Believers can indeed challenge a Chosen One; if they truly can kill a Chosen One, then the Challenger becomes the new Chosen One!
But the Challenger must be of the same calibre; otherwise, it would instead anger the Blood God!
And of the same calibre... who the hell at the same calibre could kill a Chosen One? Did they think everyone was a Champion?
So, with great reluctance, Jiang Yong put forward the command of the Fifth Legion.
Li Yelai’s gaze swept towards Jiang Yong, "This is still not enough..."
Jiang Yong’s face changed, and he immediately said, "Of course, Mu Ying has offended Your Honor, and should be punished severely!"
"Mu Ying, remove the Spiritual Barrier."
Mu Ying’s face went through a series of changes, but ultimately, he removed the Spiritual Barrier from himself.
Seeing this, Li Yelai motioned with his hand.
As Li Yelai’s first Demon General, White Cliff Demon General stepped forward without any hesitation, and the Double Maces in his hands came crashing down directly onto Mu Ying’s knees.
’Boom’
’Crack’
A dull sound mingled with the noise of breaking bones.
Mu Ying’s left knee bent inwards.
Mu Ying’s face turned deathly pale, sweat dripping profusely. But he clenched his teeth and made no sound.
Even after removing the Spiritual Barrier, his body was still strong enough to withstand the direct hit of White Cliff’s Double Maces that failed to completely break his knees.
That was the disparity between the Fifth Sense and the Sixth Sense.
But even though Mu Ying could easily kill White Cliff with a flick of his hand, at this moment, he could only be slaughtered like a lamb.
"White Cliff Demon General, use your ability. Mu Ying General’s body is very strong," said a Divine Chosen Servant.
White Cliff nodded, lifted the Double Maces again, and a second later, Spiritual Energy surged, and the maces came crashing down again.
’Crack!’
This time, Mu Ying let out a muffled grunt as his left knee was utterly destroyed, completely shattered.
But White Cliff did not stop. He raised the Double Maces time and again, each blow falling heavily.
Under her assault, Mu Ying was no longer able to pretend to be tough and quickly let out a piercing scream.
His limbs were ruthlessly smashed; a Sixth-sense Expert was now unable to defend or dodge, he was beaten into a cripple by a Fifth-sense fighter.
When White Cliff’s maces came down at the root of his thigh, he let out a strange cry and then passed out.
It was only then that Li Yelai waved his hand, "In consideration of the Execution God Chosen One, let’s spare his life."
"Thank you, Lord Di Yun. Please, rest early..." Jiang Yong said in a deep voice, moving the now crippled Mu Ying out.
He left quickly, presumably to treat Mu Ying.
Afterward, Divine Chosen Servants immediately cleaned the room.
During this time, Little Mad King remained disguised as a Maid, trembling with fear behind Li Yelai, seemingly frightened by the spectacle, her face pale and pitiful.
But the other servants did not dare to give her a second glance; this maid was treasured by the Divine Chosen One, always kept close, they did not dare to offend.
This instead elicited a disdainful snort from the White Cliff Demon General.
As a woman herself, she believed that standing beside Lord Emperor’s Fall through strengths was much more noble than this maid who had offered up her body.
Afterward, the Divine Chosen Servants bowed to Li Yelai and then dispersed.
Only then did Little Mad King remove her disguise and said to Li Yelai, "Now there will be no more peeping; I’ve also checked the room, there are no eavesdropping or surveillance devices."
Li Yelai nodded, "That’s good. I was beginning to think you got too into character, huh?"
"But, your reaction was indeed too intense. Afterwards, those Demon Generals and servants of the Execution God Chosen One will target you specifically. Originally, we just needed to keep up the act, and that Mu Ying would likely have backed off soon. But now... the people from the Execution God Chosen One’s lineage, will certainly be very wary and hostile towards you," Little Mad King frowned slightly, thinking Li Yelai’s drastic choice would make his already unsafe situation even more dangerous.
"Keep up the act..." Li Yelai also frowned, "How do you expect to keep acting? You’ve already undressed me just now. Do you really intend to serve me in the bath? Or are you suggesting you bare yourself in front of me, under that bastard’s watchful eyes?"
