The Avion Empire had been reigning the kingdoms for millions of years now, too vague to trace the origin. So it was obvious that they were strong. Aside from the other four empires on the same level as theirs, they kept their title as a predator in this continent. Moreover, their powerhouse made four ancient emperors!
We were talking about four emperors here, the beings greatly revered by the masses. But now, a stranger was saying that they weren't capable to reach the apex? If it was someone else, they might have bursted in anger already. But General Xuazong wasn't the like that.
"I see, we are incapable of reaching the apex. So can you?" The general's voice was cold yet calm. There was no trace of anger from his expression.
These words were obviously a trap for Jin Rou to pit himself. Of course, Jin Rou was also aware of it. He smiled and answered, "Indeed, I am capable of reaching the apex."
After all, I'm already there.
Redboa Ancient Emperor was watching this show as a statue and was entertained. He knew that the young man accompanying that brat from Elf Xero Clan wasn't ordinary. He was a very dangerous being that even Redboa needed to thread carefully.
Everyone sucked a mouthful of cool air upon hearing this. This lad sure knew how to boast! He was speaking to a great general here, not just a normal existence. But yet, he was keeping his haughtiness. They didn't know if the young man was dumb or whatnot.
"I see. You are capable." General Xuazong nodded, "Very well, I would like to see your arts. How about it?"
"With just you?" Jin Rou smirked, "I'm sorry but you aren't enough. Perhaps call over two living ancient emperors in your empire. Although that wasn't still enough, at least that will make do."
Jin Rou was speaking as if he was giving concessions which made the army of the empire tremble in anger. In fact, even the general had a change in his expression. It was turning ugly.
This man kept on insulting him like he was nothing and his empire. General Xuazong took a deep breath. He shouldn't let the other party get the best of him, "If you are not confident about your arts, you can say so. You don't need to reject it the roundabout way."
Calling two emperors of their empire? This lad must be dreaming. Not just anyone could see the emperors, yet he wanted to?
"Too bad, it's not my intention." Jin Rou smiled, "I am only speaking about facts. If you want to increase your chance of survival, you need your emperors' help. With just your power, you will die in vain if you fight me here."
"You talk too much. Let me finish you now." The general didn't take Jin Rou's advice seriously and draw his sword, "After taking care of you, the Elf Kingdom will be next."
"Whoosh!" The general maximized his muscle strength and dashed toward Jin Rou. He didn't want the enemy to have a chance to retaliate. He would stone his level by killing this insignificant being.
However, the general couldn't even reach half of the destination required when his head rolled down to the ground. Blood flashed like a mountain from the severed neck of him. It was a gruesome sight, and everyone who saw this was horrified.
"I told you, right? You will just die in vain." Jin Rou looked at the severed head with the general's eyes wide open, "Ah, pathetic. Is this the extent of the empire's power?"
Everyone was silenced. No one dared to look at Jin Rou. They were afraid that they might also be implicated. The soldiers of the empire's army weren't fairing good, too. Their leader was killed mercilessly, so they didn't know what to do. As soldiers who trained to follow orders, they were like chickens without heads.
"Does anyone has a qualm with us, too?" Jin Rou roamed his gaze and said, "If none, you can now scram and return to your turfs before I kill you. The entire treasures here will be only up for the Elf Kingdom's grab."
"Hey, isn't that unfair?" Burncoal Ancient King didn't want to speak. But the temptation of the treasures here were so great that it blinded his reasoning, "There are several kingdoms here who painstakingly did their bests to reach this room. Isn't that unfair to get all of the treasures here?"
"Painstakingly?" Jin Rou laughed, "Before you arrive, I have cleared all the dangers lurking around this tomb. So, you only need to find your way to this place. It will not take so much effort to do so, and you're shamelessly asking about fairness? Being an idiot is okay, but staying as an idiot is not."
"You..." Burncoal became mad immediately. He finally had experienced the taste of Jin Rous venomous words. But he had no refute about this. It was true that there were no longer dangers around while they were traveling this place.
"What you?" Jin Rou said with a confident tone, "If you want to have a piece of these treasures, you have to defeat me first. Why don't all of you come at the same time? The more the merrier. I want a massacre right now, so you all will be a great entertainment."
They wanted to try their luck. However, they remembered how easily the strongest ancient king in their line up died in this enemy's hands. Their backs were sweating, but they were considering this option.
The risk was too big, but the rewards will be enormous too. They calculated their earnings in case of success and they found out that they wouldn't be in the losing end. Of course, given the fact that they could kill Jin Rou.
But the Flau Kingdom wasn't thinking the same. Rosebleed Ancient King spoke, "Everyone, let's step a step back and let our fellow kingdom get the treasures."
The other kingdoms were stupefied. If there would be a kingdom who was so hostile against the Elf Kingdom, it would be this Flau Kingdom. Yet now they were willing to take a step back and even advised others to do the same? What kind of situation was this?
