"What method?" the Dragon King Army commander asked.
"We can let you send people to follow, but not too many. Once we confirm our safety, we will hand over the East River Dragon King to you," Huo Zhu said.
This...
The Dragon King Army commander fell into thought.
Huo Zhu and the others were very strong.
However, after the series of breakouts just now, their current combat power should not be half of their peak.
If the Dragon King Army commander followed with all his men, there should be no major problem.
"Alright!"
After thinking it over, the Dragon King Army commander agreed.
"Then prepare the cars." Huo Zhu said.
Soon.
Two cars were arranged.
Huo Zhu was worried that these people would tamper with the cars, so he asked the Dragon King Army commander to choose first.
After they had chosen, Huo Zhu smiled.
"I want the ones you just picked."
"What? You don't trust me?" the Dragon King Army commander said solemnly.
He was greatly disappointed, not expecting Huo Zhu to be so vigilant.
He had indeed tampered with the cars, intending to deal with them after the East River Dragon King was exchanged!
Now, it seemed this plan was impossible.
"Nonsense, we are mortal enemies. How much trust do you think you have with me?" Huo Zhu sneered.
Then.
Getting into the cars chosen by the Dragon King Army commander, Huo Zhu drove away.
Seeing this, the Dragon King Army commander quickly gathered his subordinates and followed closely.
Instantly.
Two cars chased each other, one in front and one behind.
Once in the car.
Hu Han Tian finally couldn't hold back!
Pfft~
He spat out a mouthful of blood, and his originally ruddy complexion turned pale.
"Old Hu, are you alright?" Huo Zhu asked with concern.
"Can your body withstand it? Did you not inherit the power of the Rune Stone?" the other two old ancestors asked with concern.
Hu Han Tian shook his head.
"I did inherit it, but I overexerted myself to defeat the East River Dragon King and sustained severe injuries."
Hu Han Tian wore a bitter smile.
Just now, when fighting the East River Dragon King, he knew he could inherit the power of the Rune Stone.
But Hu Han Tian knew how difficult their current situation was.
Even if he inherited the power of the Rune Stone, his strength would at most be on par with the East River Dragon King.
Let alone defeating him, even breaking through with Huo Zhu and the others would be difficult.
Moreover, tens of thousands of Dragon King Army soldiers were lurking outside.
So, Hu Han Tian was very decisive and directly abandoned a portion of his inherited power.
He used this power on the East River Dragon King, which was why he could heavily injure him.
Of course.
Hu Han Tian paid a great price for doing this.
He would likely be stuck at the first star of the Yuan Mansion realm for the rest of his life, with no further room for improvement.
However, he was content with this.
...
The sky gradually darkened.
The two cars, one in front and one behind, gradually moved away from the streets and headed towards the outskirts.
The population became sparser.
Through the car's walkie-talkie, the Dragon King Army commander's voice came through, "You are absolutely safe at your current location. Aren't you going to release the hostages yet?"
Hearing this.
Huo Zhu and the other two old ancestors narrowed their eyes.
Release them?
Heh heh!
They had never considered releasing them!
Hu Han Tian had paid such a heavy price to capture the East River Dragon King.
They definitely had to take him away!
Huo Zhu directly crushed the walkie-talkie and stepped on the accelerator.
This scene.
Enraged the Dragon King Army commander behind them, who immediately sped up to catch up.
Little did he know.
He had unknowingly fallen into Huo Zhu's trap.
About an hour later.
The fuel in the cars was depleted, and both vehicles came to a halt.
"Hmph!"
The Dragon King Army commander and his men got out of the cars angrily, surrounding Huo Zhu and the others.
Huo Zhu and the two old ancestors got out of the car, looking very relaxed.
"Still not giving up?" Huo Zhu said with a smile.
Seeing that Hu Han Tian dared not get out of the car, the Dragon King Army commander understood.
The other party must have been injured during the fight with the East River Dragon King, making him even less worried.
"Give up? Do you really think of yourselves as something? Do you think the three of you, at the end of your rope, can defeat us?"
Huo Zhu looked at the elite peak experts of the Hunyuan realm surrounding the Dragon King Army commander, his face full of smiles.
"Heh heh, your opponent now is not us, but him."
After speaking.
Huo Zhu pointed to the SUV parked not far away.
Zhang Yang got out of the car alone.
He turned on the headlights, allowing everyone to see his appearance clearly.
This!
Seeing Zhang Yang, the Dragon King Army commander's expression changed drastically.
"King of Jiang... Jiangnan King!"
"Zhang Yang! What is he doing here!"
"Run!"
Without a word, the Dragon King Army commander turned and fled.
However.
How could Zhang Yang let them leave?
He transformed into an afterimage and charged towards these people.
Pfft~
Pfft, pfft~
Instantly, a mist of blood scattered.
These people didn't even have time to scream before they were all killed on the spot by Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang spat disdainfully, then turned to look at Huo Zhu and the others.
"Great Elder, are you alright?"
"We're fine."
Huo Zhu and the others shook their heads and then told Zhang Yang about today's events.
After hearing this, Zhang Yang breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, they had escaped without any danger.
Moreover, they had an unexpected gain, having captured the East River Dragon King!
"Let's go back first," Zhang Yang said.
Huo Zhu and the others nodded and then got into the car driven by Zhang Yang.
This time.
The martial forces in the Eastern Region would not be able to cooperate with them.
However, their gains were not bad, as they had captured the East River Dragon King alive.
Meanwhile, good news came from the north.
The Zhenxi Beast King arrived in time to rescue He Ao and the others.
Furthermore, they had also captured the Northern Wolf King.
Upon hearing this news, Zhang Yang was very surprised.
He asked the Zhenxi Beast King if Hong Tao had also used Hu Han Tian's method and chosen to sacrifice himself.
However, he received a different answer!
Initially, the Zhenxi Beast King and Hong Tao had blocked the Northern Wolf King, and they were prepared to break through.
But at this moment, a mysterious person wearing a bronze mask suddenly appeared.
He directly helped them capture the Northern Wolf King.
Moreover, this person.
Wanted to return to Linhai City with the Zhenxi Beast King and the others.
Facing a stranger at the Yuan Mansion realm, the Zhenxi Beast King was naturally extremely vigilant.
He had originally intended to politely refuse, but the other party claimed to know Zhang Yang.
Therefore, the Zhenxi Beast King called Zhang Yang to ask if what the person said was true.
"Beast King, did the other party say his name?" Zhang Yang asked.
When he heard the Zhenxi Beast King mention the bronze mask, he had already guessed who it was.
"He said his name is Di Yi."
The Zhenxi Beast King replied.
As expected!
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yang smiled.
He indeed knew this person. "Haha, so it's him. You can bring him back."
