Chapter 2486: Reverse Threat?
He Ye was also getting anxious, and he made up his mind that I didn't dare touch this useless piece of trash, right?
"Stop! I told you to stop! Are you deaf? Do you really not care whether your teammates live or die?"
"I've got a hostage right here in my hands! Hey! Can you stop fighting for a moment? Look at me! Look over here!"
He Ye was jumping up and down in urgency, shouting at the top of his lungs.
However, none of the humans present paid him any attention, and their harvesting movements only became faster!
Jue Jing was going crazy: (crying and angry) "Do it! Just do it to her! Give her a taste of something fierce so the humans can see! Can you stop being so damn indecisive?"
In a moment, snot is gonna run into your mouth!
He Ye was having an absolutely miserable time right now.
Do it or not? If he didn't do it, the humans simply wouldn't grasp the determination of the Angel Race, completely ignoring the threat!
Having a hostage was the same as having none!
But if he did do it, and ended up angering Jiangnan, he might end up being executed himself later, and then Jiangnan would go stir trouble in the Sacred Heaven Kingdom!
Right now, He Ye was like being roasted over a fire, caught in a dilemma.
However, the more He Ye hesitated, the clearer it became to Xiao Chuihuo and the others that the Angel Race didn't have the guts to kill another human.
The Etch Group Army was on the verge of being completely wiped out!
A ruthless glint flashed in He Ye's eyes.
Dragging it out any longer would only lead to sitting and waiting for death, a dead end.
The hostage in his hands was his only bargaining chip. He just needed to move a little, control the force, and let the humans know his resolve!
"Fine! You're treating my words like farts, completely ignoring them, huh? It seems you won't cry until you see the coffin!"
As he spoke, he clenched his fist, let out a roar, and swung it with heaven-collapsing momentum, aiming fiercely at Zi Yuan's belly!
Just as he was about to hit, he suddenly withdrew his strength, controlling his force to be minimal—a classic case of thunder loud, rain small.
But then, with a "bang," Zi Yuan was struck and curled up like a shrimp, spitting out a mouthful of bright red blood while coughing violently!
Her face instantly turned deathly pale, and she rolled her eyes incessantly.
(rolling eyes and spitting blood) Coughing up blood~
Wu Jie'er!!!
A Tiya!!!
The two quickly sent a telepathic message:
"Damn! Archpriest, are you crazy? That punch of yours, are you trying to kill her? Why did you use so much force? Control! Where's your control?"
"You want Jiangnan to come after the three of us later too? If you want to die, don't drag me along with you!"
He Ye was also terrified. I didn't even use any force! Not even a thousandth of my strength. At this level, even massaging my great-grandmother would be too weak for her, and hitting Jiangnan with that wouldn't even leave a red mark!
Why does this Zi Yuan look like she's about to be beaten to death?
If she died in my hands...
Startled, He Ye quickly waved his hand and cast an 'Immaculate Holy Body' on Zi Yuan to heal her injuries.
Beside him, Jue Jing was dumbfounded.
What? You hit her and then heal her? You broke me in half and didn't even bother to heal me!
He Ye awkwardly cleared his throat:
"Ahem, ahem! See that? This is how ruthless I am! If you don't stop now, I'll beat her, then heal her, then beat her again!"
"I'll make the hostage wish she was dead! Hurry up and stop, then get out of my sight!"
However, Xiao Chuihuo, Mi Ye, and the others all stared at He Ye with cold, icy eyes.
That look was like looking at a dead man.
Heh, you're dead.
Noob Yuan, just bear with it for a bit. Once we're done reaping the points, we'll come rescue you.
So, they swung their blades even faster!
He Ye was furious. Was I not ruthless enough?
Was the force still insufficient?
Zi Yuan, who had nearly been punched to death, finally caught her breath. That had been a close call on the edge of life and death.
Between life and death, there is great terror!
Zi Yuan was genuinely angry. She cursed at He Ye:
"Very good! You've successfully pissed me off. Just wait till I get revenge on you, you're about to leave your little life here!"
"It's no use even if you heal me. You're already on my death list!"
Since I can't rely on others, I'll rely on myself. Let me show you all the power of this Noob Yuan!
He Ye looked at Zi Yuan with a face full of exasperation. You? Who can you possibly threaten?
Your self-detonation wouldn't even have more force than someone else's fart!
Zi Yuan glared: "What are you looking at? You don't believe me, do you? I'm about to dream you all to death! And you! You you you! All of you will be dreamed to death by me!"
"So cherish your last moments! Especially you, Jue Jing, I'll dream you to death first! Hmph!"
With that, she forcefully threw her head forward, pulling the hood of her pajamas over herself, then leaned forward, resting her face against He Ye's sword blade as a pillow.
"Hmph—move the sword a bit forward, this sleeping position is uncomfortable, it's cramped. Don't you have any awareness? Fine! Just wait and see, as soon as I wake up, you'll all be dead!"
"Daydreaming, I'm sleeping!"
And then, with her face on the sword blade as a pillow, Zi Yuan actually fell asleep like that, even starting to snore because of the awkward position.
He Ye, holding the sword, twitched his mouth in disbelief, frozen in place.
Do you even understand the situation right now? You're just going to sleep? And you want to dream us to death?
This really is daydreaming!
A Tiya was speechless. So her way of taking revenge on us is to go to sleep?
That's... that's really pathetic!
Jue Jing was completely enraged:
"Can you people get your act together? Is this how you treat a hostage? Be professional, for crying out loud!"
"Didn't we agree that the Angel Race would help us capture humans as hostages, and once it's done, we use the hostage to ensure the survival of our Etch Group Army?"
"This is how you use a hostage? If you can't do it, then let me!"
With that, Jue Jing rushed straight at Zi Yuan, murderous intent blazing in his eyes.
But a cold glint flashed in He Ye's eyes. He waved his hand at Jue Jing, and under the enhancement of the Heavenly Might War Array, Jue Jing was instantly pierced by countless light feathers, his body shattering.
Even the glass fragments were annihilated into nothingness.
"Shut up with all your yapping! As a pawn, don't try to overstep your bounds. What do I care about the life or death of a pawn? Right now, in my eyes, you're nothing more than a bundle of points!"
He didn't care at all about the fate of the Etch Group Army. He was just angry that the humans were so certain he wouldn't dare to strike.
Thus, the hostage wasn't playing its role at all, but had instead become a hot potato.
And with Jue Jing dead, the Etch Group Army had completely collapsed.
They already knew there was no way they could survive this disaster, so they started an internal civil war, trying to earn a few more points before being eliminated.
For the humans, all that remained was cleaning up the battlefield and pocketing the points.
At this moment, Zi Yuan, sleeping soundly, let out a "hehe" and wore a smug expression. She turned over and continued sleeping.
Wu Jie'er was startled. Wait, she said she was going to dream Jue Jing to death, didn't she?
Now Jue Jing... is dead? Killed by He Ye casually.
Coincidence? Or...
No, no, how could it have anything to do with Zi Yuan, who was sound asleep?
And so, the humans, right under the noses of the Angel Race, devoured the Etch Group Army clean.
With the three Fusion Domains plus the enraged Yakeli, the Etch Group Army had no chance of holding out.
At this point, the group armies from all four human battlefields had been completely reversed and killed by the humans!
Only about a hundred or so humans had been eliminated, with just over three hundred still on the battlefield.
And now, the three Fusion Domains, plus Yakeli's Great Thousand World, completely surrounded the Angel Race's Heavenly Might War Array.
Mi Ye coldly stared at He Ye: "I'll give you one last chance. Release Zi Yuan back to us safely. My patience is wearing thin."
He Ye gritted his teeth: "Do you think I'm stupid? If I release the hostage, you humans won't clean us out?"
Ku Po narrowed his eyes: "Release Zi Yuan! All you'll have to do is leave the field, losing your eligibility for the Grand Hunt. You've already earned plenty of points from the ones you've killed."
"If you don't release her, or if anything happens to her, I don't need to spell it out. You will definitely die, and the Southern God will certainly wipe out the Sacred Heaven Kingdom!"
"You know better than anyone whether the Southern God has that kind of power and just how far he can go!"
He Ye's expression turned extremely ugly.
The hostage is in my hands, so why am I the one being threatened, damn it!
Over there, Mi Ye had already started counting down.
"Three! Two!..."
He Ye's face hardened. I can't hand her over! That way, I still have a hostage!
If I hand her over, I won't even have that last bargaining chip!
"Don't push me!"
As he spoke, his sword blade drew blood from Zi Yuan's neck.
But Xiao Chuihuo didn't indulge him. Without a word, he charged forward!
Meteor Volcano raged, and a giant axe engraved with divine patterns, wreathed in blazing flames, swung down heavily!
Wang Dalei also summoned Fate's Heavenly Punishment, directly attacking the Heavenly Might War Array!
From the direction of the Western Divine Domain, the Twilight of the Gods was used as a vanguard, an orange-red twilight shooting straight toward the Angel war array!
The Cycle of Life and Death pressed down heavily, the Light of Reincarnation annihilating everything, and the nearly 1.5 million undead legion surged forward in waves!
He Ye completely exploded. Do you really dare to attack?
"We're not pushovers either!"
The phantom projections of Shengyueke and Lucifer also moved in response.
The Blazing Light-Splitting Wheel combined with the Judgment Sword Rain for joint output, supplemented by defense, mobility, and Divine Wings.
With the borrowed power of the Star-Devouring-level big shot's phantom, stacked with the Killing Feathers, the Heavenly Might War Array was no pushover!
Every time, they could break through the defense of the Fusion Domains, forcing Xiao Chuihuo, Odin, and the others to constantly dodge.
With the humans' current strength, going head-on against the Angel Race's Heavenly Might War Array would be hard to take down in a short period of time.
But the problem was, Xiao Chuihuo and the others could keep fighting like this, maintaining the offensive momentum!
Meanwhile, the Angel Race was borrowing power beyond their limits. That divine manifestation couldn't last much longer.
Moreover, Wang Dalei started throwing money around again, continuously increasing the pressure on the Heavenly Might War Array and draining their energy.
If they kept fighting like this, even without Jiangnan on site, they could slowly gnaw away at the Angel Race.
Now, He Ye was completely out of options. Holding a hostage he couldn't touch, who was sleeping soundly on his side, and then being counter-threatened by the humans?
What kind of logic was that?
Even He Ye couldn't make up his mind now. He couldn't help but look up at the phantom of Shengyueke.
"Lord! Kill her or not? Should we act? If we do, to what extent? What do we do now?"
Shengyueke: (expressionless cold stare)
