Chapter 227: Submission

The other seven men with pale faces could clearly sense Jian Chen’s intent on killing them. If Jian Chen was only just able to kill Tianxiong Lie, they would be shocked, but the method on how he did it had completely terrified them to a dizzying amount.

When Jian Chen had so easily stabbed through Tianxiong Daoyun’s Saint Weapon, it had demonstrated that if he wanted, Jian Chen could easily kill the seven Great Saint Masters with as much ease as stepping on an ant. Although a Saint Weapon was a man’s weapon, it also symbolized their connection with their life. If their Saint Weapon broke, then they would die. Even if they were unfortunate enough to live, they would be no better than a cripple.

Right in front of their eyes was solid proof that Jian Chen could easily destroy their Saint Weapons without trouble. Just thinking about how they were walking the narrow line between life or death had truly shocked them deep to their core. By now, the seven of them had lost their fighting spirit and could only look at Jian Chen with a different expression than before, but still mixed onto their faces was a great deal of fear.

“Stop! Fellow brother please stay your hand.” Seeing how Jian Chen was staring at them with a look full of malice, one of the elders hurriedly called out to him while reabsorbing his Saint Weapon into his body as if showing his unwillingness to be Jian Chen’s enemy.

Then Jian Chen snorted, “Be lenient to you? What a funny thing to hear. Just a moment ago I had told you to not get involved, but you ended up involving yourself anyways, so don’t blame me.”

Jian Chen’s words had caused the seven to look afraid for a moment before the elder who had spoken up before said once more, “Junior, this is nothing more than a misunderstanding. We aren’t from the Tianxiong clan and were only invited by them. Today if you let us go, we will not be able to thank you enough.”

“That’s right, junior, if you let us go today, we will truly thank you from the bottom of our hearts.” The other elder spoke quickly. At this critical juncture that would decide their life, both elders had already thrown away their high noble status for a better chance of survival. Jian Chen’s method of killing Tianxiong Daoyun had already made their defenses absolutely useless. In their eyes, just protecting their lives today would be a higher priority than anything else.

Plus, more importantly, they had no grievances or hatred with Jian Chen. It was only because Tianxiong Lie had invited them that they were involved in this matter.

Jian Chen continued to stare at the seven men with a flashing eye brightly. For a moment, he was silent, but then a small smile appeared on his face, “So it’s like that? Then I’ll give you a chance to live.”

Upon hearing that, the seven Great Saint Masters’ eyes sparkled. Despite five of the seven not speaking up to protect themselves, they all had the same strong desire to live.

Seeing the strong desire to live, Jian Chen’s mouth began to grow wider as he spoke, “There is one condition to your survival. From today on out, you will surrender and pay your allegiance to me.”

The seven men’s faces suddenly started for a moment with an unsightly look. Each one went silent as an intense struggle began to happen within themselves.

Knowing how the seven weren’t able to decide, Jian Chen’s face went cold for a moment, but inside, he was laughing. When he had used the azure and violet Sword Qi to kill Tianxiong Daoyun, it was quite excessive, but he had already planned it all out. His goal was simple, by use of an overpowering amount of force, he would force the seven into submission and eventually use that power to expand his Flame Mercenaries.
