How difficult it must be for the proud Ji Fu to utter the words “I concede”, especially when the opponent accepting the surrender is from an ordinary family rather than an ancient sacred ground or a sect, this exacerbates the sense of humiliation.
But he knew he had to surrender, because Ji He and Ji Zai had no way to avoid the pursuit of Wulo’s Finger, especially the extraordinarily strong one, which possessed the power of transcending the mortal realm and could pierce Ji Zai’s body, making rescue impossible.
If it meant the loss of a soon-to-be transcendent soldier of the Slaughter Immortal Army without achieving victory, concession then became the only choice.
As soon as his voice faded, Ji Qing, Ji Man, and Ji Di flew out, picking up the three Ji boys who were blocking the six simplified versions of Wulo’s Finger. Their hands were twisted like dough twists, full of dozens of twists on both sides, the stubs of the bones protruding from the skin, incredibly eerie. If it wasn’t for the strength-enhancing effect of the Power Runes, their arms would have been torn apart, but even with the Power Runes, their arms were ruined.
Ordinarily speaking, such injuries would be enough to declare the martial artist’s future utterly destroyed. However, the Han Family, being an ancient saintly family, would find such an injury not too difficult to handle, an injury that would normally deem a regular person incapable of martial arts.
Ji Qing and the others lifted Ji Ming and the others, covering the boys’ arms with a silver glow and then taking out a porcelain bottle from their bosoms, pouring out a medicinal pill and feeding it to them.
The three of them stimulated the medicinal power of the pill with their Spiritual Power, and the green light that represents life bloomed on the three boys, repairing their hands.
On the Tang Clan’s side, as soon as Ji Fu finished speaking, six golden giant hands appeared. Four of them picked up the critically injured children from the ground, and the other two held Tang Zheng and Tang Fengran, who still wanted to launch an attack on Ji He and Ji Zai even after the match was over.
Tang Luo saw Tang Xing being brought in front of him and tightened his heart. The little boy’s left rib cage had completely collapsed. All the ribs were broken and puncturing his internal organs, and the kick to his abdomen had turned the central muscles of his abdomen limp, as if they were necrotic.
Then there were Tang Man, Tang Ya, and Tang Zhen, each severely wounded, breath as thin as silk thread, as if they were about to die.
But they were still alive, giving the elders a chance to rescue them. After all, the Tang Clan wasn’t short on spiritual medicines. And in comparison to Ji Ming and the others, their injuries were much easier to deal with.
The elders took out their elixirs and fed them to the four, and a green glow flickered around them.
Seeing the smooth execution of the rescue, Tang Luo cupped his hands in salute to Ji Fu, and thanked him, “Thank you, young master Ji, for showing mercy.”
It was quite stifling to thank an opponent who has reduced his brother to such a pitiful state, but he knew it had to be said.
The ultimate goal of this fighting was for the two families to compete for resources, and the six of Tang Xing and the five of Ji Ming were the fighters representing their families.
In this competition, it was indeed a brutal competition of life and death, and he made two fatal errors.
The first was overestimating the combat readiness of the pupils in the First Cultivation Ground, so much so that he hadn’t given them enough instructions. They wrongly assumed it was just a spar and relaxed after the first wave of Wu Luo’s Six Consecutive Strikes, giving Ji He and Ji Zai an opportunity.
The second was misjudging the effectiveness of Wulo’s Finger in combat. The full version of Wulo’s Finger was indeed a decisive power in the Mortal Realm, but the simplified version was subpar, and initially, he thought a small team would suffice against the Han Family’s Slaughter Immortal Army. If Ji Fu hadn’t proposed one group of the Slaughter Immortal Army for two teams from the Tang Clan, it could be imagined how badly these children would have lost.
The students were in such a dangerous situation largely because of his own misjudgment and arrogance, and this type of error was usually irremediable.
In the short time it took to catch their breaths, Ji He and Ji Zai managed to defeat four opponents in succession. If a spear could pierce the chest, it could pierce the heart.
If a spear could be used as a club, it could naturally be used like a blade. If not for Ji Fu’s reminder, the present situation would not be seven severely injured youngsters, but three critically injured ones and four cadavers.
Tang Luo said his thanks sincerely because he knew that after this battle, these six children had been through the trial by fire and their futures were boundless.
Listening to Tang Luo’s thanks, Ji Fu felt odd and snorted. “The Tang Clan is not all bad. The moves in the Mortal Realm are quite amazing.”
“Young Master Ji flatters us!” Tang Luo cupped his hands in acknowledgment toward Ji Fu and said directly, “Then the decision on who will enter the Minor Spiritual Realm is settled. I have a favor to ask!”
“Ha, you have a favor to ask?” Ji Fu laughed in disbelief. He has already obtained an extra share of the treasures and wants more? He was very curious about how big Tang Luo’s demands would be.
“There are eight slots for the treasure house of the Minor Spiritual Realm. I hope young master Ji will assign two Slaughter Immortal Army soldiers to lead the Tang Clan team.”
“Hmm?” Ji Fu raised his eyebrows; he did not expect Tang Luo’s request to be this.
“Of course, I won’t let them do this heavy labor for nothing. I’m willing to give half of our agreed-upon share of the treasures as their reward for leading the team.” Tang Luo cupped his hands toward Ji Fu and clarified his request.
Ji Fu looked deeply at Tang Luo and asked, “Do you know how much half of the treasures amount to?”
“Judging from the value young Master Ji places on it, it should be quite a lot.” Tang Luo replied nonchalantly. Although he did not have Xu Lao’s ability to sense other people’s thoughts, he still had basic judgment.
If it was just a small treasure house, why use the powerful nine-tailed fox demon to serve as the guardian spirit? And why would someone as proud as Ji Fu keep arguing over every detail, trying to grab more? All of these showcased the extraordinary status of the Longzhou’s treasure house.
Ji Fu gave a noncommittal smile, “Knowing that Longzhou’s treasure house is not ordinary, are you still willing to give up half of the share?”
The treasure house of Longzhou, as the second most important treasure house of the Han Family, was filled with all kinds of treasures. For instance, spiritual armors, which are each worth millions of gold, at least ten thousand of which are stored in the treasure house!
Even if it is just half of the share, it is over five hundred of them, worth more than fifty million gold. And that is only the value of the spiritual armors.
If one counted in the invaluable spiritual medicines, spiritual weapons, crystals, supplies, and currencies, the value of half the share was at least a few billion. You must know that the combined wealth of many cities couldn’t even reach the billion mark. That’s the value of that proportion of the treasure!
“I don’t want to give it up either!” Tang Luo spoke a rare truth, “But the ones entering the Minor Spiritual Realm are the future of the Tang Clan. Our family is not comparable to the grandeur of the Han Family. If something goes wrong with these six, even with an additional share of the spiritual artifacts, I would feel it’s a loss.”
The key point was that this little lad was among them. If anything were to happen to him, Tang Luo would genuinely not forgive himself.
After all, battle maturity isn’t something that could undergo drastic improvement in just one go. Recognizing this, he had to admit that if only the six children of the Tang Clan were to go in, the chances of them getting annihilated were very high. Although the Demon King could not influence the Spirit Realm, the hundreds of puppets are controlled by him, a simple ambush could signal their end..
