Chapter 2807: The Understanding Little Clever Ghost (Supplementary Update)
The scene of the beating was utterly brutal. Looking around, in this first round of the promotion matches, which battlefield wasn’t elegant and grand in style, with an imposing momentum?
But looking at Jiangnan and his team, it was like a bunch of old street thugs brawling!
They pinned the Ancient Star God down and beat him, hitting his head and even his philtrum!
The Ancient Star God was already dead, yet they beat him until he swelled up!
The entire scene was broadcast live across the starry sky, and this brutal spectacle was seen by all the myriad races!
How could there be any room for showing off now? The Chaos Clan members wished they could find a hole to crawl into!
Chuyang couldn’t withstand such vicious beating. Especially when Jiang Fan’s myriad stars appeared and he had already begun to refine the Ancient Star God’s abilities, condensing stars!
He was trembling, you know?
What if they did this to him next?
Chuyang glared fiercely at Tianli.
(#)థжథ) “Mm! Mm mm wu! Mm wu!”
Tianli’s forehead dripped with sweat:
(•́ω•̀٥) “In the Human versus Chaos Entity battle group, the situation is completely one-sided. The Chaos Entity Star Devourer contestant doesn’t seem to want to fight anymore!”
“Are they trying to surrender?”
Chuyang nodded frantically, tears welling up.
Tianli coughed lightly: (￢ก￢) “Then…”
Jiangnan: (ꐦ°᷄д°᷅) Huh?
“You lousy host, who do you think you are? The guy himself hasn’t even said he surrenders, so why are you butting in? Get lost!”
Tianli shuddered:
(•́﹏•̀٥) “But he nodded, and he looks like he wants to cry… It’s clearly a sign he wants to surrender, so…”
Jiangnan waved his hand grandly:
(︶◠︶*)ﾉ “Bullshit! Nodding? That’s just him acknowledging our strength! Wanting to cry? That’s clearly tears of joy from being moved to have fought such a thrilling battle!”
“Do you know the loneliness of being at the top? Do you know the solitude of having no opponent? You little brat, what do you know? Keep fighting!”
Chuyang: !!!
(#)༎ຶж༎ຶ(#) “Wu hu wu!”
I wanted to say it, but I’ve been silenced, damn it!
What the hell is a thrilling battle and tears of joy?
Where’s the thrill? Where’s the joy? I’ve been getting beaten the whole time!
Now he kind of regretted not listening to Xuance!
But the snot was already in his mouth!
Was Jiangnan planning to beat both of them to death here?
He looked toward the clan fortress with a pleading gaze, frantically signaling the main leader, Hunyu!
Save me! Save me, damn it! Surrender already!
Hunyu understood the ancestor’s gaze perfectly. How could he let them suffer?
He immediately raised his hand: ٩(*´益`*)۶ “Tianli! Stop the match! Chaos Clan surrenders! This victory goes to the humans!”
“Stop them quickly! In a vertex war, you can’t kill!”
Tianli’s forehead was drenched in sweat. Stop them?
Why don’t you go do it?
That’s like asking me to die!
(￢﹏￢٥) “Um… the Chaos Clan has surrendered, so…”
Jiangnan pouted: (︶◠︶〃) “Hunyu? Which patch of scallions does he come from? You think you have a say in the Chaos Clan? I’ve never even heard of this guy! Are you the big boss of the Chaos Clan? Are you a Star Devourer?”
“Let the highest-ranked member of the Chaos Clan come out and speak!”
Hunyu stomped his foot: (งథ益థ)ง “The highest-ranked? Aren’t you fighting them right now? You… you…”
Jiangnan sighed:
(๑￢ࡇ￢) “Fine, fine, I’ll help you ask. After all, I’m such a kind person, right? Hey—you, do you surrender or not?”
Chuyang widened his eyes, about to nod, but Jiangnan’s world-destroying palm slap went straight up, swinging left and right!
He beat so fast it became a blur, making the Ancient Star God’s head wobble!
Jiangnan spread his hands: ╮(•́ω•̀)╭ “See? He’s shaking his head! Doesn’t seem too keen on surrendering!”
Hunyu vomited blood. You call that shaking his head?
You’re disregarding a man’s will! That’s illegal, you know!
[From Hunyu: Resentment +1007!]
[From Chuyang…]
[From Jiran…]
Despair filled both their hearts!
Fixed match, this is a fixed match! They won’t even give us a chance to surrender! He really wants to kill us!
In a blink, the Ancient Star God’s body lost its luster, and another star lit up in the myriad stars domain.
(｡･ˇ_ˇ･｡) “Alright—useless now, kill him. You do it or I do it?”
Jiangnan propped his chin:
(๑͡°ก͡°) “Hmm—let me think, oh…”
Chuyang and Jiran: !!!
(இжஇ|||) “Mm! Mm mm wu!”
They looked at Jiangnan with pleading eyes. In this situation,
Jiangnan and the others definitely had the means to kill both of them!
Even if they used forbidden techniques to save their lives, their strength as Star Devourers might not remain. What would be the point?
Jiangnan squinted and smiled:
(๑⁼̴◡⁼̴) “Oh? It seems you two have something you want to say?”
They nodded frantically, unable to speak except for muffled sounds.
Jiangnan smiled:
(๑ᵒ̴̶̷ωᵒ̴̶̷) “Let me guess… you two must be saying, ‘Respected Lord Nan, please spare us two little noobs. Whatever conditions you propose, we will agree to them…’ Right?”
“Nod if I’m right.”
The Ancient Star God’s expression froze!
Although the general idea was similar, don’t add random modifiers!
They had no choice but to nod.
Jiangnan chuckled happily:
(︶.̮︶｡) “I really am an understanding little clever ghost! Guessed it right in one!”
“Then I guess you’d be willing to pay the price of ten rich mining areas and one-third of the Chaos Clan’s slave race as compensation for me teaching you two how to behave, right?”
Chuyang and Jiran’s eyes bulged!
No!
You’re asking way too much! How much do we even have?
Even if the lion opened its mouth until it dislocated, it wouldn’t be as wide as yours!
Jiangnan covered his mouth, feigning shock:
Σ(ﾟ口ﾟﾉ)ﾉ “Ah—could it be that I guessed wrong? Oh dear, how unfortunate. So you two weren’t thinking that in your hearts?”
“Alright, forget it. Let’s just kill them. Brother Fan, you take one, I take the other, okay?”
He pulled out a two-dimensional blade and moved it toward the Ancient Star God’s neck!
Chuyang and Jiran were scared out of their minds, nodding frantically, then realizing they were wrong and shaking their heads again!
Their heads were like a fascia gun on maximum setting!
They furiously signaled Hunyu!
Arrange it! Just arrange it, damn it!
Hunyu panicked: (งᵒ̌益ᵒ̌)ง “Give! Lord Nan, your guess is completely right! That’s exactly what the two esteemed ones were thinking!”
“I’ll immediately have people transfer the mining areas and handle the slave race handover!”
Jiangnan wore a satisfied expression:
(｡⁼̴ꇴ⁼̴) “I told you, I’m always spot-on with my judgment. How could I guess wrong?”
Then he turned to the Ancient Star God!
(｡･ˇกˇ･) “I guess you two would be willing to give me 100 million trillion star source points and another one-third of the slave race as compensation for doubting my guess just now, right?”
[From Jiran: Resentment +1010!]
[From Chuyang…]
Are you making wishes here? 100 million trillion? That would empty both our treasure vaults!
And didn’t we already give one-third of the slave race? Why again?
Jiangnan: (｡･ˇ～ˇ･) “Oh—if I ask twice, the acceptance rate is higher, isn’t it? I’m thinking of you!”
Chuyang: !!!
That was my inner thoughts just now, damn it! You don’t need to explain!
You even know my inner thoughts?
Can Jiangnan really read minds?
Jiangnan said with a smile:
(⌒◡⌒๑) “Am I right?”
They wanted to die. Of course it was right!
Yes, yes, yes!
They gave Hunyu another look, signaling him to arrange it.
Hunyu gritted his teeth. With Lord Nan making wishes like this, even a landlord would run out of grain!
Jiangnan laughed: “I guess… wait, let me check.”
He directly pulled out his intelligent brain and opened the resource requirements list.
(๑͡°ก͡°) “Hmm—Secret Source Alloy, 1 billion cubic meters; Chaos Crystals, three thousand; Superconducting Immortal Tree Gum, twenty thousand cubic meters…”
Chuyang and Jiran were utterly despairing!
Stop guessing! If you guess any more, we’ll have to pawn the whole Chaos Clan!
At this moment, Yakeli, Chong Feiyu, Vivian, and the others were all frozen in place!
They finally understood!
Lord Nan isn’t here to compete at all!
He’s using the match as a cover to openly kidnap and extort!
In front of the entire starry sky, he’s holding Chaos Clan Star Devourers for ransom!
He’s really starting to earn money now!
He’s truly mastered the business!
Jiangnan tilted his head: (๑•̌.•̑๑)ˀ̣ˀ̣ “Why are you all standing there? Keep fighting! If the education isn’t thorough, won’t we have taken their money for nothing?”
Chuyang closed his eyes in despair and nodded at Hunyu.
Hunyu’s mouth twitched.
(*꒦ິ⌓꒦ີ) “Lord Nan… stop reading. Just send me the list. If it’s on the list and the Chaos Clan has it, take it.”
“Please spare the two esteemed ones.”
Jiangnan was stunned, then beamed: “You’re pretty sharp, kid! Hurry up and arrange it. When everything is settled, I guess your ancestors will be willing to surrender, right?”
Yang Jian covered his face. He had imagined Jiangnan would use all sorts of flashy methods to make money.
But he never expected that every move Jiangnan made exceeded the limits of his imagination!
Shaking hands for luck, then openly kidnapping and extorting during the match!
Is it really this simple and crude?
The Chaos Clan had no choice but to arrange it. In such a critical period, the two Star Devourers in the clan absolutely couldn’t be lost!
But what they hadn’t expected was that trying to show off backfired.
Xuance was so angry he slapped his thigh.
(⋟益⋞๑) “You bunch of wastrels! Wastrels!”
With the money in place, Jiangnan wasn’t the type to go back on his word. He prepared to let them go.
He hadn’t taken too much money, or else the two big marks might use tricks and fight to the death.
Then he wouldn’t have had fun fighting and wouldn’t have earned the money. What a loss!
Jiang Fan raised an eyebrow: (๑◔_◔ิ) “Not killing them? If you don’t uproot the weeds, they’ll grow back and cause trouble.”
Jiangnan was taken aback, then shook his head: “In the current era… it’s better to have more Star Devourers around…”
Jiangnan understood the principle of uprooting, but considering that Xun Zu might soon break through,
Having two more Star Devourers to fight him would provide a little more chance, a little more hope…
If these two really insisted on fighting the humans to the death,
Then Jiangnan wouldn’t be soft-hearted.
But the Chaos Clan probably didn’t have that courage.
Compared to killing them, taking advantage to squeeze some immediate benefits seemed more practical.
Jiang Fan didn’t stop him either, just nodded: “You decide…”
