That terrifying attack directly shattered Old Vulture's attack. The claws of the five dragons quickly entangled Old Vulture. As long as Long Chen's next move, he would be able to directly rip Old Vulture into several pieces.
In today's battle, Long Chen had an absolute crushing victory, defeating Old Vulture. Everyone understood in their hearts that even if it was Jiang Wuya, it would be impossible for him to do this unscathed. In other words, with Long Chen's current strength, he was very possibly the strongest person present.
What no one would have thought was that this young man could actually reach this step.
Only now did they connect the dots. Yesterday, Long Chen being able to escape from Zhao Danchen's hands was not because of luck, but because of his powerful strength.
Among the War people, it was no longer Jiang Wuya and Old Vulture who were the strongest, but Long Chen was the strongest.
Long Chen and the others also looked at each other. What they never would have thought was that their youngest seventh brother would now become the strongest person among them.
Just as Long Chen was about to kill Old Vulture, Lei Zhen who had already woken up suddenly roared, "Seventh brother, have mercy."
Although Long Chen had some boundless killing intent in his heart, Lei Zhen was the victim today. Long Chen still had to listen to his words. Only, this did not mean that he would let Old Vulture go. When Lei Zhen yelled, Long Chen held back slightly, but the Scattering Soul Dragon Claw directly cut through several Martial Meridians in Old Vulture's abdomen.
Once a Martial Meridian was broken, if it was not repaired in time, this Old Vulture could be considered as crippled. Martial Meridians being broken also meant that right now, he had already temporarily lost the ability to battle.
Old Vulture gave a miserable shriek, and was thrown onto the ground. Fresh blood dyed the ground. Of course, with his powerful life force of the Earth Martial realm, he wouldn't die so easily.
"Dad!"
Lei Ming let out a shriek, but at this time Jian Chen took action, directly knocking him out. Jian Chen knew that Lei Zhen had something to ask Vulture Elder.
When he fell to the ground dripping with blood, the scene was dead silent. Everyone looked at that blood-red figure in the center, feeling a bit parched. Defeating Old Vulture at this age, if the current Long Chen improved a bit more, he would be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with super geniuses like Zhao Danchen.
To them, this was unbelievable.
Everyone looked at Long Chen with a trace of reverence in their eyes. After a while, everyone finally reacted to Long Chen's strength. They sucked in a breath of cold air and looked at Lei Zhen's actions.
Under Jiang Wuya's support, Lei Zhen came to Mr. Vulture's side. Everyone also came over. Right now, Mr. Vulture's eyes were lifeless, his face pale, on the verge of death. He struggled, turning his body over, then looked at everyone with a vacant expression.
"Uncle Vulture, can you tell your nephew, just why?"
Lei Zhen asked with a hoarse voice. His eyes stared straight at Mr. Vulture, unable to tell what he was feeling. But actually everyone knew that right now, Lei Zhen was undoubtedly in great pain. Right now was an important moment that decided the life and death of the War people, and Mr. Vulture, as the strongest in the clan, came to assassinate him, the clan leader.
"Why?"
Mr. Vulture resisted the pain and began to chuckle. He looked coldly at Lei Zhen and said, "Do you want to know why? Then I'll tell you, Lei Zhen. Because you will harm the entire War people, you will cause the War people to perish. You will become the eternal sinner of the War people."
"I don't understand what you mean." Lei Zhen shook his head and said in confusion.
"You don't understand, stop playing dumb." Mr. Vulture spat.
Lei Zhen sighed, he straightened his body and said, "Uncle, I understand now. According to what you mean, you're dissatisfied with me leading the War people to resist the Wushu Alliance, right?"
Mr. Vulture smiled in disdain and said, "You're still considered smart. Those three bets, the Wushu Alliance will comply because of face, but I know that you will definitely not comply. Once we lose, you will definitely lead the War people to resist. I think that will be the day of our War people's demise."
Lei Zhen's gaze flickered as he looked at Mr. Vulture, saying, "Uncle, could it be that you don't understand? Dying in battle, this is our War people's mission. From what you mean, you want the War people to submit to the Wushu Alliance and henceforth become the Wushu Alliance's slaves?"
Mr. Vulture said coldly, "What slaves? Even becoming a slave is still better than losing your life. Isn't that right? Why would I kill you? As long as you, Lei Zhen, don't die, you will lead the War people to destruction. As long as you die, I can lead the War people to seek refuge with the Wushu Alliance and leave the War people a path of survival."
"No."
Lei Zhen roared. His face was very taut, the veins on his neck bulging. He tightly clenched his fists, roaring at Mr. Vulture, "Path of survival, what path of survival is? Becoming the Wushu Alliance's slaves, becoming the Wushu Alliance's dogs. We War people are wolves in the wilderness, we are proud and unyielding. If a wolf becomes a dog in order to survive, then what qualifications does he have to be called a wolf."
He panted heavily, his eyes wide open as he looked at Mr. Vulture, continuing to roar, "Uncle, you don't understand at all. If we submit to the Wushu Alliance, we obtain survival, but what about the souls of us War people? If we submit, our bodies live, but our souls are already dead. War people are War people, we live for battle, we will never submit. Death isn't scary, what's scary is walking corpses that lose their souls."
Lei Zhen pointed at his own chest, saying, "Ancestors, bestowed upon us a hard backbone, it is for us to live with an indomitable spirit, and not for us to bend our spines and become dogs. If for the sake of pride, every single warrior of us War people must pay with our lives, then I can only say that I, Lei Zhen, have no regrets."
After Lei Zhen finished speaking, the other six War Kings had already surrounded them. Every single one of their eyes were blood red, they used resolute and reverent gazes to look at Lei Zhen, saying one after another, "Rather die in glory than live in dishonor. War people, if they become the dogs of the Wushu Alliance, then they can no longer be called War people, they can only become the dog race. The reason our ancestors bestowed upon us life, is for us to carry glory and battle in this boundless land, and not for us to bow and scrape to others. Mr. Vulture, I normally respect you, but if you are greedy for life and fear death, and want to become a dog of the Wushu Alliance, I will be the first to not let you go."
"We, will forever be unyielding. Even if the opponent is the strongest, they can only destroy our bodies, but not our souls. Even if we die, we go to hell, when we see our ancestors, we can raise our heads and proudly tell them that we died in battle."
"A race that has lost its soul, can't be called a race. We protect the soul, even if we die, we die with pride."
Every single person's words, to Mr. Vulture, were a type of shock.
When Lei Zhen said it alone, he didn't think much of it, but when everyone told him the same thing, he gradually became at a loss.
"No, no … it's not like that …" Mr. Vulture madly shook his head. He viciously looked at everyone, saying, "It's you who caused the War people to perish, you are all sinners."
Lei Zhen helplessly shook his head, saying, "Uncle, if you let the War people become the slaves of the Wushu Alliance from now on, then you are the true sinner. We are proud people, our children and grandchildren, if they are lucky enough to be born, we will let them live the lives of humans, and not become other people's dogs as soon as they are born. If that's the case, I would rather they not be born."
Mr. Vulture opened his eyes wide, looking at Lei Zhen, looking at each and every War-King, looking at their resolute and unafraid of death in their eyes, he suddenly felt a bit cold. His gaze swept across each and every one of them, and finally fixed on Long Chen. Long Chen, was the person who defeated him.
Looking at this blank old man, Long Chen shook his head. The dispute between them, Long Chen also saw it with his own eyes. Overall, Long Chen still respected Lei Zhen and the others. Rather die in glory than live in dishonor, this phrase was interpreted extremely well.
Long Chen stretched, then looked at Mr. Vulture and said, "Who said that the War people will definitely lose to the Wushu Alliance. Even if we lose, we will make them lose even more miserably than us. They are strong, but we haven't fought yet, who knows who is stronger. Mr. Vulture, we didn't fight today, how would you know that I'm stronger than you?"
Long Chen's words successfully livened up the atmosphere.
Lei Zhen nodded his head. Today's matter should be over with. He hesitated for a while, but towards Mr. Vulture, he still didn't have much killing intent.
"Uncle, today you tried to assassinate me and almost took my life. Before the War people make things difficult, I can only lock you up. Wait until we pass this trial, then we'll decide how to deal with you."
Lei Zhen's way of dealing with things could already be counted as being soft-hearted. But Long Chen and the others knew that before the War people were under such great pressure, executing Mr. Vulture was indeed a bit inappropriate.
"Lock me up, do I still have the face to see others?"
Mr. Vulture lowered his head, smiling somewhat crazily: "Today I didn't succeed, so it can only count as you guys winning. But Lei Zhen, today I died, but you guys are still the sinners of the War people."
Speaking up to here, Mr. Vulture's sharp claws directly pierced into his own heart.
He wanted to seek death, and the crowd couldn't stop him in time. When Lei Zhen hugged him, he was already dead.
Everyone looked at each other.
After a long while, Lei Zhen stood up and helplessly said: "Uncle Vulture didn't grow up among the War people, so he doesn't know what our so-called soul is."
"He was originally the strongest among us War people. What a pity."
The other Warlords helplessly shook their heads. They were all hot-blooded men and also supported Lei Zhen. Lei Zhen's iron-blooded personality was also the reason why they supported Lei Zhen to become the new chief.
Today's matter passed just like that.
"Chief, are we still going to the Lightning Pool?" asked one of the Warlords.
Lei Zhen shook his head and said: "I'm already injured. Without ten days of recuperation, I won't be able to recover."
"Then what about participating in that wagered battle?" Originally, the battle of the first level of the Earth Martial Arts realm was Lei Zhen's to go.
Lei Zhen smiled. Following his gaze, everyone simultaneously looked towards Long Chen. Then, everyone smiled in relief.
