Chapter 1888: Tamedragon Squadron (1/2)
“Rumble!” As Li Qiye and Jilin Princess were about to leave, a series of orderly steps resounded.
In the blink of an eye, a group with thirty-six people climbed to the peak. The atmosphere became tense right away.
All members had an aggressive aura with a cruel glint in their eyes. They wore a black-pink colored armor but it wasn’t because of dye. This was the color of dried blood, causing spectators to faintly hear a sanguine stench.
“Tamedragon Squadron!” A spectator blurted out in horror.
Li Qiye knew the leader of this squadron. It was Tamedragon Child.
This was a brutal squadron led by the First Disciple of Tamedragon High G.o.d, Shangguan Yunjian.
He had inherited the arts of the High G.o.d and became one himself with two totems! Thus, his school had two High G.o.ds, something worthy of pride. After all, this was extraordinary due to his humbled origin.
Because Tamedragon and eight more High G.o.ds started the Tamedragon Cavalry, Yunjian also started his own group with thirty-six people and used squadron instead.
Like master, like disciple; Tamedragon used to be a bandit so this squadron was also a group of robbers.
They enjoyed breaking-and-entering on top of finding cultivators outside or ambus.h.i.+ng some small adventuring groups. Of course, they pushed it a step further by also silencing their victims with death.
Many people knew that the culprits were this squadron but since all the victims were killed, there was no evidence to condemn them.
This was the reason why some feared them. It didn’t matter whether one was strong or weak, being preyed upon by the squadron usually ended in death.
After Yunjian became a High G.o.d, he rarely commanded the squadron himself and left it to Tamedragon Child. Because of this, Tamedragon Child didn’t only resort to threats. If the threats were ineffective, he would take command of the squadron for a more direct approach.
“Brother Li, we meet again.” Tamedragon Child smiled and cupped his fist towards Li Qiye.
Li Qiye only gave him a quick yet dismissive glance.
This didn’t diminish his enthusiasm: “These are my brothers, the Tamedragon Squadron. They are courageous men who appreciate other heroes the most. Your tales of fearlessness have traveled far and wide. We brothers respect you, if you need anything in the future, just say the word and we’ll jump into the boiling fire. Don’t be reserved because we’ll be brothers too!” With that, Tamedragon Child beat his chest with great fanfare.
The crowd took a deep breath after seeing how familiar Tamedragon Child was acting towards Li Qiye. This group of bandits alone was frightening enough. If they were to add someone as devilish as Fiercest, it would become a terrifying combination spelling doom for many smaller sects.
Li Qiye nonchalantly responded: “Not just anyone is qualified to call me brother, at the very least, not you.” With that, he continued descending with the princess.
This carefree response left everyone shocked. They didn’t expect him to answer in such a haughty manner without giving a d.a.m.n about face.
It was a straight slap towards Tamedragon Child and the squadron. It was merciless enough in the eyes of the spectators.
Though few would want to befriend someone like Tamedragon Child, they would begrudgingly accept if he kept on requesting it while calling them “brother”.
Even if one was strong enough to not give a d.a.m.n about the squadron or even Tamedragon High G.o.d, it would be socially improper to slap a smiling face. At the very least, this person would need to be cordial for a bit in order to keep up with propriety.
But Li Qiye was completely different. He publicly denounced the guy in front of everyone without holding back.
As Li Qiye was walking away, Tamedragon Child’s expression became extremely unsightly but he actually managed to restrain this anger.
After the duo left Buddhist Ridge, the princess smiled and said: “Young n.o.ble, that guy probably won’t forget the slap just now.”
“Just a little phony, no need to give someone like that any face. If he’s smart enough to stay away from me, I’ll spare him from a death without a burial.” Li Qiye smiled freely.
