Chapter 219: Divine Lightnings Might (2/2)

“Ha! Just with you? I want to see how you plan to concern yourself with him!” Shan’er could not help but reply irascibly.

“Shan’er, don’t force me to commit into mutual destruction!” SongZhong said coldly, “I have over thousands of divine lightning around me. If I were to ignite them all at once, not only will your subordinates be dead, you will also not escape alive!”

As King Shan’er heard that, her expression changed and barked, “Then you will not be able to survive either! Why? You want to die together?”

“If you do not want to show me any respect, then I can only choose to do so!” SongZhong replied haughtily, “As a man, I can die, but I cannot back down!”“You, you” Shan’er began to tremble from anger as she scolded, “So only you can command respect from others but I don’t? I have over 10,000 subordinates here and I have to release him because of a word from you? If I were to do that, how would I have the dignity to continue living in the Eastern Ocean?”

As SongZhong heard that, he could not help but frown. He knew that people with a esteemed status like her would definitely be concerned with commanding respect. If he were to really force her to a corner, she might really fight him to the death. In actual fact, SongZhong was unwilling to fight her as well. First, he may not win. Second, even if he won, he would have to pay a steep price as well and it just wasn’t worth it.

But he simply could not leave his junior brother in the lurch. Thus, both SongZhong and Shan’er were stucked in a conundrum. They were both unwilling to fight but also did not have an excuse to take a step back. As such, they were both locked in a stalemate.

Thankfully, SongZhong with his scintillating wits had quickly formulated an idea. “Haha, what about this! One of us hails from the Eastern Ocean and the other from the Vast Mountains. We are over tens of thousands of miles apart but we manage to encounter each other here today. With such affinity between us, why not let us exchange souvenirs as memento?”“Exchange souvenirs? What do you mean?”

“What I meant is simple!” SongZhong then threw out a small bottle to Shan’er. “This is my gift, if you like it, you can keep it! I do not expect much, you just need to release everyone here that is from the Mystical Sky Yard! How about that?”

As Shan’er received the bottle that SongZhong threw over, she opened it and exclaimed, “Five elements pure water?”“It isn’t much!” SongZhong replied indifferently.

“Haha, this is really something great!” Shan’er said with a laugh. Then, she blinked her eyes and teased, “But, I have not agreed to your terms yet. Aren’t you afraid that I will escape with your gift? You have to know, us lightning eagles are extremely fast. You will not be able to catch up for sure!” As she said that, she began to gleam with excitement as though she was really about to escape.

As SongZhong heard that, he sneered. In reply, he revealed the Gold Essence Sword. Then, he taunted Shan’er with a glare, signalling her to run if she had the guts.

You have to know, SongZhong was already a middle foundational cultivator. Together with his dense magical Qi, it is enough for him to reveal some prowess of the Five Elements Essence Sword. As such, it would not be an issue for him to fly faster than 3000. Besides, 3000 was the speed of the lightning eagles. In other words, SongZhong was perfectly capable of catching up to them. If Eagle King Shan’er were to really run with his item, SongZhong would definitely not let the matter rest and pursue with all his divine lightnings.

Shan’er understood what SongZhong meant as she saw that. She would not sacrifice her subordinates for a mere 50 plus human cultivators. Her expression softened as she replied with an apologetic laughter, “Haha, I’m only joking. Release all the cultivators!”

As Shan’er commanded, all the lightning eagles began to release the cultivators and over 50 cultivators began falling from the sky. SiYu and the rest of the team did not dare delay and they hurriedly caught the falling cultivators.

At this moment, SongZhong was completely dumbfounded. He only intended on saving two or three cultivators from the Mystical Sky Yard. He did not know if it was Shan’er who heard wrongly or was it on purpose that she actually released them all. Upon this scene, SongZhong became depressed. All of these people had heavy injuries and had difficulties moving. With two or three casualties, his flying boat would still be able to fit them in. But now that there are more than 50 of them, it was impossible for him to fit all of them in!

If his flying boat was unable to fit them in, then they can only fly back slowly. But, there were many XianTian cultivators amongst these injured people. For them to fly over thousands of kilometres back, when would they be able to return back? If they were to encounter any accidents along the way, SongZhong would not even know from whom can he seek to redress his grievances!
