CHAPTER 551: CHAPTER 551: THUNDERCLAP METHOD (5 UPDATES)

Yang Xiao was approximately forty to fifty meters away from the three individuals, each of whom was holding a longsword on guard.

In Xu Li’s view, the three of them could join forces, and even if Yang Xiao launched a sudden attack, he wouldn’t be able to defeat them immediately, so they dared to boldly stand in front of Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao, of course, also understood the reasoning Xu Li had just articulated; if there were to be a chaotic battle, both sides would suffer, which was definitely not the outcome Yang Xiao wanted to see.

From the conversation with the opponents just now, Yang Xiao could basically discern that among the three, He Hui didn’t hold too strong opinions, whereas Xu Li and Zhu Hao were rather firm. Under such circumstances, if he wanted to dominate them, the best method would be to instantly kill one or two of them; the rest would naturally shut up.

Yesterday, Long Xiang transformed into a Giant Dragon and attacked them, killing over 2,000 people in an instant, creating a profound shock among the ordinary guards.

If Long Xiang weren’t being pursued, as long as he transformed into a dragon and tumbled a few times in the air, these people in front of him would surely surrender immediately.

Yang Xiao looked at Xu Li and Zhu Hao, smiled, and said:

"A provisional alliance? Is this your condition, right?"

Xu Li arrogantly stated:

"That’s right, if you agree, we will immediately submit; if you don’t, we will fight to the death to maintain our honor!"

"Honor?"

Yang Xiao sneered, and suddenly, his body flashed, using the Shaolin Great Shifting Body Technique, instantly closing the distance between them by about ten meters. Then he leapt into the air with the Divine Mountain Light Skill, charging at Xu Li. Midair, he drew his longsword and instantly activated the Soul Skill "Burst," slashing down at Xu Li with one strike.

When the longsword was still about three meters away from Xu Li, suddenly a five-meter long Sword Qi burst forth, whistling as it cleaved down from above Xu Li’s head.

Yang Xiao’s speed was so swift that Xu Li and his companions were completely unable to react in time. By the time they did, He Hui instinctively retreated dozens of meters back—after all, Yang Xiao wasn’t attacking him.

Zhu Hao was slightly stunned, and he thrust his longsword towards Yang Xiao.

Xu Li, in a desperate attempt, thrusted his longsword at Yang Xiao as well, but when Yang Xiao’s longsword was still three meters away, he suddenly swung it down through the air.

Xu Li was taken aback—was Yang Xiao’s reputation unfounded? Not the slightest aim, swinging the sword from such a distance, could he really hit him? With such technique, could he really have killed Li Jiachen?

As he was inwardly perplexed, Yang Xiao’s five-meter long Sword Qi suddenly erupted, startling him. Xu Li felt a powerful Killing Aura enveloping him and, alarmed, he shouted and swiftly retreated.

But, he was still a step too late—the five-meter long Sword Qi enveloped him,

With a hiss, it split him from his head downwards, cleaving him in two.

Instantly turning around, Yang Xiao’s longsword, along with the five-meter long Sword Qi, thrust towards Zhu Hao. Zhu Hao had been thrusting his own sword toward Yang Xiao, but didn’t expect Yang Xiao’s Sword Qi to reach him first.

Zhu Hao urgently dodged while activating his Defensive Light Shield.

With a hiss, the Light Shield was pierced with a hole, and the Sword Qi passed through, striking Zhu Hao’s left shoulder, with Sword Qi piercing through and blood splattering everywhere.

Zhu Hao immediately let out a shout and rapidly retreated backward.

How could Yang Xiao give him a chance? With a flash, he charged over, and the Sword Qi directly thrust into his throat.

Zhu Hao looked at Yang Xiao in horror, blood spraying from his throat.

Yang Xiao said coldly:

"Honor? To actually speak to me of honor—the weak have never had honor."

With a thud,

Zhu Hao’s body fell to the ground.

Yang Xiao had almost instantly killed two Enhanced Gene Advanced warriors in the blink of an eye, and before anyone could react, Yang Xiao had already finished the battle.

The entire field was enveloped in dead silence.

He Hui looked at Yang Xiao, his legs trembling uncontrollably, unable to utter a single word.

Yang Xiao looked at He Hui and said:

"Surrendering to me is your only way out. Now that the two of them are dead, what is your decision?"

At this moment, what else could He Hui possibly have in mind? He knelt down with a ’thud’ and said:

"I am willing to surrender to you."

Yang Xiao nodded and replied:

"As long as you surrender sincerely, I will not treat you unfairly. You are their leader; I’ll give you ten minutes to gather your team and decide on submitting. Otherwise, I will lead my men to attack."

He Hui immediately responded:

"Don’t worry; I’ll arrange everything right away, right away."

He Hui stood up from the ground and walked to the front of his team. There were a dozen or so senior figures and responsible persons from nearby cities. These people had witnessed Yang Xiao killing Zhu Hao and Xu Li as effortlessly as if he were cutting vegetables, and their hearts were utterly shaken.

Moreover, everyone remembered how Yang Xiao had killed Li Jiachen, filling them with even more terror.

Meanwhile, the morale of Yang Xiao’s team was soaring; each member was brimming with spirit and fighting will. Their mental state, compared to that of He Hui’s men, was of an entirely different level.

He Hui wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and said to everyone:

"I had warned Zhu Hao and Xu Li before; the two were too stubborn and never heeded advice, insisting on contending with Yang Xiao. Now you see the outcome. If Yang Xiao could kill Li Jiachen, does he not have the ability to kill us as well?"

"What do you decide, Brother He? We’ll follow your lead."

"Now you’re ready to listen to me? I’ve said it all along; surrender is the only option. And we can grow alongside Yang Xiao. With Yang Xiao as our big tree, can’t we all enjoy a few days of peace? Wasn’t Li Jiachen likewise taking over Eastern Province after killing our boss?"

After brief negotiations, He Hui, with a dozen key members, came before Yang Xiao and knelt down with a ’thud.’

"We wish to surrender to Brother Yang!"

At that moment, the more than 20,000 people behind He Hui saw the deaths of Zhu Hao and Xu Li, and with their leaders like He Hui surrendering, none of them desired to fight any longer. They all knelt down, rose, and shouted in unison:

"We wish to surrender!"

"We wish to surrender!"

"We wish to surrender!"

Yang Xiao nodded and said loudly:

"My brothers, thank you for choosing to surrender to me. From today on, we are family; we are brothers. My policy has always been to share the blessings and face the hardships together. Let’s fight for our place in this world and grow together!"

With the thunderclap method, Yang Xiao instantly resolved what could have erupted into a large-scale conflict, and all the guards on both sides were pleased, as no one wished to lay down their life here.

After all, life is something everyone gets just once.

Gong Yu turned to Xia Luo beside him and said:

"The boss is getting more formidable by the day; the gap between us and him is getting wider."

Xia Luo laughed and replied:

"Let’s stop comparing ourselves with the boss; he’s not human, haha!"
