Although they had succeeded, the Blood Asura and the Dark Princess didn't stop there.
The Blood Asura struck at one of the Jade Dragon's wings, while the Dark Princess drove her dagger firmly into the other.
Roar, roar.
Both of the Jade Dragon's wings were severely wounded, causing it to let out a miserable cry.
Boom!
It plummeted from the sky and crashed heavily onto the ground, its blood volume nearly depleted.
Ye Chen's figure flickered, and in the blink of an eye, he was beside Tian Xuhao. Just as the latter tried to rise, the Thunder Shocking Blade was instantly at Tian Xuhao's neck.
Tian Xuhao froze in place, staring at Ye Chen with terror and reluctance in his eyes, swallowing hard.
Ye Chen smiled at the half-crouched Tian Xuhao, "With a single stroke, I can take you down."
Tian Xuhao stared at Ye Chen, remaining silent for a long time, still somewhat stubborn.
"If you have nothing to say, then prepare to die!"
Ye Chen raised the Thunder Shocking Blade, ready to strike, but Tian Xuhao hurriedly shouted, "Wait!"
"If you have any last words, say them quickly."
Tian Xuhao sat on the ground with a thud, saying, "You're not from Qing County, are you?"
"How did you know?"
Tian Xuhao smiled slightly, "It's obvious. If you let me go, I will take you out of Qing County. This place is not for you."
Ye Chen was slightly stunned, "What do you mean by that?"
Tian Xuhao sneered, "Isn't it simple? On your way here, did you see a single living soul?"
Ye Chen shook his head slightly.
"Because everyone here is dead. We killed them!"
"Hmm?"
Ye Chen was stunned internally.
Since arriving at Qing County, indeed, he hadn't seen a single living person.
"You killed them, the nine of you?"
"Haha! Of course not, we are just one of them!"
Ye Chen frowned more tightly, "Explain clearly, what's going on?"
Tian Xuhao glanced at Ye Chen, his tone carrying a trace of pride.
"The biggest organization here is not the Law Enforcement Team nor others, but our organization, the Cyan Alliance. Our Alliance Leader has a Level Eight pet, a Tier Six Ultimate Venerable."
"To join our Cyan Alliance, your pet must be Legendary Level Tier Four or above!"
Level Eight pet?
Upgrading so quickly?
Ye Chen said repeatedly, "That's impossible!"
"Hahaha!"
Tian Xuhao suddenly laughed loudly, "What's impossible about it? How many people are there in Qing County? Do you know what it means to raise pigs, what a sacrifice flow is?"
"Those who aren't qualified to join our organization, we let them grow, and when their pets reach Level Four, our core members kill them and absorb their experience."
"Qing County is under the control of our Cyan Alliance!"
Ye Chen suddenly said, "Your Alliance Leader, who is he really?"
"Hmph, our Alliance Leader isn't just the Alliance Leader now, he was once the biggest villain here. We used to follow him!"
"Maybe before, we were afraid of some people, but now, we are the sky in Qing County! Kid, we hit it off through fighting. If you let me go, we're even, but if you dare kill me, you'll face the entire Cyan Alliance's pursuit."
"I know you have Sacred Artifact pets, three of them, but do you think you can stand against the entire Cyan Alliance, against a Level Eight pet?"
Tian Xuhao looked at Ye Chen with confidence, speaking word by word.
This guy's tone made Ye Chen very uncomfortable, "Are you threatening me?"
Tian Xuhao grinned, earlier afraid, now calm and disdainful after mentioning the Cyan Alliance's name, "You can understand it that way!"
Ye Chen looked at the Blood Asura, instructing him to find Lin Nuoyi and the others. The Blood Asura obeyed.
At the same time, Ye Chen noticed Tian Xuhao's hand fumbling with something in his pocket.
"Fine, as you say, I'll let you go, and we'll consider it settled."
Tian Xuhao laughed heartily, "Brother, that's more like it. From now on, we're good brothers!"
He quickly stood up and extended his right hand toward Ye Chen, who also shook it.
Taking advantage of the moment, Tian Xuhao quickly fed the Jade Dragon a Qi Blood Pill.
He mounted the Jade Dragon, preparing to leave.
The Jade Dragon flapped its wings, ascending into the sky.
Ye Chen glanced at the Dark Princess, giving her a signal with his eyes.
The Dark Princess immediately understood, her figure suddenly vanishing, appearing behind Tian Xuhao in the next moment.
A cold gleam flashed.
The dagger cut across Tian Xuhao's neck, spraying a stream of blood.
Tian Xuhao died instantly, and the Jade Dragon lost consciousness, crashing to the ground.
Swish.
Ye Chen swiftly approached Tian Xuhao's side, extracting a mobile phone from his pocket.
After turning it on.
There was an unsent message:
"Seventh Avenue, intruders found, with more than three Sacred Artifact pets!"
Looking at the now deceased Tian Xuhao, Ye Chen felt a twinge of guilt.
Although Tian Xuhao wasn't a good person, he was fairly honest in keeping his promise.
He said it would be settled, and it was.
If he hadn't agreed just now, the message might have already been sent.
Ye Chen had acted because he feared Tian Xuhao had already sent word, which led to his lethal strike.
Now he realized he had wrongly blamed Tian Xuhao.
This fellow, though bad, kept his word.
Maybe that's just the way with gangsters!
Damn loyalty.
"In today's world, I can't help but be cautious. For the safety of me and my companions, I had to sacrifice you."
"Moreover, you truly deserved to die."
Ye Chen looked at Tian Xuhao's corpse, shaking his head slightly, his face indifferent, devoid of any expression.
After collecting all of Tian Xuhao's belongings, Ye Chen immediately headed towards the Blood Asura.
Tian Xuhao was quite wealthy, with quite a number of spoils.
Gold Coins totaling over five hundred, and many other good items.
This Jade Dragon's experience was substantial.
Even if only a tenth, it was still 1500 experience.
The Blood Asura still needed 2500 experience to level up, and killing the Jade Dragon wouldn't allow her to level up.
If given to the Pill Master or the Dark Princess, it would be enough for them to reach Level Three.
Unfortunately, the Experience Capsule could not be divided.
But he quickly decided it was best to let the Blood Asura use it first.
After all, elevating one pet to Advanced level as soon as possible is the wisest choice.
The Pill Master and Dark Princess had returned to the pet nest.
Ye Chen could sense the Blood Asura's location.
Just inside a nearby hotel.
Ye Chen knocked on the door, saying, "Open up, it's me."
Creek!
The door opened.
"Brother Chen, you're here, where did you go just now?"
Zhu Qiang asked curiously and worriedly. Ye Chen replied, "Tian Xuhao was chasing me; luckily I reacted quickly and escaped his pursuit."
Zhu Qiang visibly sighed with relief, smiling, "That's great."
Lin Nuo, Iron Bull, and others stood inside, but Tang Qiu was nowhere to be seen.
Ye Chen curiously asked, "Where's Tang Qiu?"
Lin Nuo quickly replied, "Sister Tang Qiu left, she said she's going to report this to the local Law Enforcement Team."
Ye Chen nodded slightly, feeling that it's a good thing.
With the Law Enforcement Team's power, they will surely uncover the Cyan Alliance, giving them a distraction.
Ye Chen and the others can use this opportunity to grow.
After understanding the situation, Ye Chen swiftly arranged, saying, "Alright, let's hurry and leave here; Qing County is a place of trouble."
