1355 Self-Destruction, Win or Lose? (3)
“Are you satisfied now?” Lin Kelei’s voice was full of anger and hatred.
Zhan Jingtao frowned slightly. He had indeed come for Mu Zhixing, but he had never thought of killing Mu Zhixing just like that.
Besides, he wasn’t the one who killed Mu Zhixing. Mu Zhixing self-destructed. Are you blind, Lin Kelei?
But he knew that saying this to Lin Kelei now was no different from adding fuel to the fire. “Lin Kelei, Mu Zhixing stole a large number of refining materials from the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom…”
“Haha! Lin Kelei suddenly laughed loudly. “Commander Zhan, you forced Mu Zhixing to his death. Are you still going to slander him now?
“What now? Are you bullying my Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom with your army? Even after Mu Zhixing died, we still have to compensate your Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom?
“Why don’t you just let our Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom bow down to your Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom?”
Lin Kelei’s voice was like a thunderclap as he shouted angrily, “Warriors of Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom, what do you say?”
“We will never agree!” shouted the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom army behind Lin Kelei in unison.
Their voices shook the heavens and earth, almost sending the sky flying.
Zhan Jingtao frowned. He felt an indescribable awkwardness in his heart.
He was the one in the right.
Why did he become a great villain after Mu Zhixing’s death?
Did he say that the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom would bow down to him?
That’s impossible. Even if I want it, the Green Emperor won’t agree.
“Brothers!” Lin Kelei shouted. “If anyone thinks that our Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom is easy to bully, then we have to let them know that our Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom is not an easy target!
“If anyone dares to take even half a step into the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom today, I will kill them even if it’s the heavens!
“Can you do it?!”
Lin Kelei roared, and the two swords in his hands clanged.
The Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom army behind him also took out their weapons. For a moment, killing intent surged.
Zhan Jingtao frowned. He had never thought of really attacking the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom.
He had brought the army here to intimidate them, not really to mobilize troops.
He wasn’t crazy. What did deterrence have to do with starting a war?
“Lin—”
Zhan Jingtao was about to speak when Lin Kelei glared at him. “Zhan Jingtao, from now on, everything you say will be treated as a provocation to my Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom.
“If you really want to start a war between the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom and the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom, our Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom will accompany you to the end! I, Lin Kelei, will accompany you to the end!”
His voice was powerful, and his gaze was so sharp that Zhan Jingtao felt a little uncomfortable.
Mu Zhixing’s sudden appearance and self-destruction in public put Zhan Jingtao in a passive position.
At the same time, Mu Zhixing’s self-destruction made the people of the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom furious.
As long as Zhan Jingtao and his army made a move, it would probably cause the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom army to react.
Zhan Jingtao was in a dilemma.
Mu Zhixing was already dead, and he had died in such a tragic manner.
They had regained the face of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom.
But…
Zhan Jingtao smiled bitterly in his heart. This bastard died too easily. What about the refining materials he stole from the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom?
There was no evidence. It was impossible for Lin Kelei to compensate him.
From the looks of it, as long as Zhan Jingtao dared to mention this matter, the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom would immediately start a war.
What the hell is going on?
Everyone from the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom stared at Zhan Jingtao with killing intent.
This tense situation made Zhan Jingtao know that he was completely defeated this time! Damn it. Mu Zhixing is clearly dead. Why do I feel so uncomfortable? Didn’t I want to kill him to begin with?
“Lin Kelei, you’ve lost your mind now. I won’t talk to you anymore,” Zhan Jingtao said loudly. “But let me tell you, this matter isn’t over yet! I’ll talk to you when you calm down!”
Zhan Jingtao waved his hand and roared, “Retreat!”
The army of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom all looked depressed.
It clearly looked like they had won a complete victory, but they didn’t even feel the slightest bit of joy.
Instead, they felt extremely aggrieved, as if they had been forced back by the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom.
They had never encountered such a situation on the battlefield.
It’s all because of Mu Zhixing. Damn Mu Zhixing!
Alright, Mu Zhixing is already dead…
Zhan Jingtao retreated gloomily. With mixed feelings, he didn’t notice that at the back of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom army, there was an extra soldier with his head lowered.
Influenced by their mood, the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom army didn’t notice that there was such a person beside them.
As for the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom, the army was solemn. Even though Lin Kelei had left at some point, they still stared in the direction of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom with indignant expressions, looking ready to fight.
…
Ancestral land, Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven, Eight Views Palace…
Flames rose everywhere, and the entire palace was in full swing.
Countless forging materials flowed like water in the Eight Views Palace.
After a forger dealt with a forging material, he would hand it over to the next forger. After the next forger dealt with it, he would continue to hand it over to the next one…
The assembly line method was a unique secret technique of the Huaxia Pavilion. Now, all the forgers had mastered it.
At the end of the assembly line were Zhou Shu and Shi Songtao.
As an existence whose forging skills were second only to Zhou Shu and Yao Qing, Shi Songtao also bore a heavy responsibility.
He and Zhou Shu were in charge of the final step at the same time.
But it was obvious that his efficiency was incomparable to Zhou Shu’s.
Often, Zhou Shu had already forged seven or eight connate divine weapons, but he had only forged one.
But even so, the forging speed of connate divine weapons had reached an astounding level.
In the corner of the Eight Views Palace, the connate divine weapons that had already been forged were thrown there in a mess. Like ordinary unranked divine weapons, there were at least a thousand of them piled up.
