Yang Qi's face went stiff, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
Yuan Lie was about the same age as him, and was also as strong as him, a peak Paramount God.
But Yuan Lie was a freakishly talented genius, and had reached the peak Paramount God level much earlier than Yang Qi.
From Yuan Lie's aura, he could tell that he was much stronger than Yang Qi.
"Why aren't you saying anything, Commandant Yang Qi?" Yuan Lie said with a Cold, arrogant smile.
"Young Sir Yuan Lie, the fourth and seventh major cities have always been close." Yang Qi smiled awkwardly. "In the upcoming Undersea Hunt, our two cities will be allies, so there's no need for us to fight."
"That's right." The spirit controller laughed dryly and looked at Yuan Ying. "Fourth City Lord, our two cities are allies, so there's no need for us to fight."
"Ahem." Yuan Ying let out a dry cough and said, "The fourth and seventh major cities are indeed allies, but I feel that there should be a hierarchy among allies."
"Why don't we have Yuan Lie and Yang Qi compete? The outcome of the battle will determine who is the leader of the two cities and who is the second?" Meng Qi said. What do you say? "
His voice was calm, but full of provocation.
Yuan Ying had come to the seventh major city ahead of schedule, and his wild ambition was obvious.
In the past Dark Sea Hunts, the Fourth and Seventh Main Cities had always been allies. The hunters of the two cities would help each other during the hunts.
But this time, it seemed that Yuan Ying didn't want to continue that relationship. He wanted to take the lead, and make the seventh major city a vassal of the fourth.
The seventh major city's strength had been declining in recent years.
Over the past tens of thousands of years, the seventh major city hadn't produced any decent geniuses, and had been laughed at by the other major cities.
If this situation continued, the seventh major city would lose its status as a major city, and become a vassal of the other major cities.
The spirit controller could never have imagined that the first person to make trouble for him would be the fourth major city, which he had been allied with for hundreds of thousands of years.
"Fourth City Lord, this isn't a good idea, is it?" The spirit controller frowned, his expression ugly.
He knew what Yuan Ying was trying to do, but the seventh major city was indeed weaker than the fourth major city, so he could only endure it.
"There's nothing bad about it. It's time to determine the primary and secondary status between our two cities." Yuan Ying smiled faintly, and his attitude instantly became tough.
The Spirit Controller's face stiffened. He knew that he couldn't escape this fight.
"Seventh City Lord, forgive me for speaking bluntly." At this time, Yuan Lie said loudly, "Your seventh main city has been declining for a long time. Now, it's just a main city in name. In fact, the strength of many vassal cities surpasses the seventh main city."
"Your Seventh Main City is just like your Guardian Divine Beast. You've long become useless."
When the Spirit Controller heard Yuan Lie mention the City-Guarding Divine Beast, his eyes trembled as if he had discovered something. He asked in surprise, "Yuan Lie, what did you do to the City-Guarding Divine Beast?"
Nie Tian's eyes narrowed. He knew that the Seventh Main City's guardian divine beasts were the dozens of Dark-Winged Guardians.
It seemed that the Spirit Controller had sensed that something had happened to the Dark-Winged Guardian.
Yuan Lie smiled Coldly and said, "Of course, there's no need for these useless things to exist. I've already helped you get rid of all those useless monkeys."
"Yuan Lie, you … Pfft!" The Spirit Controller's pupils suddenly shrank. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt a tightness in his chest. He couldn't bear the blow and spat out a mouthful of dirty blood.
The expressions of Nie Tian and the others immediately changed.
The "useless monkeys" that Yuan Lie had mentioned were obviously the Dark-Winged Guardian.
It was obvious that Yuan Lie had killed all the Dark-Winged Guardians.
The Spirit Controller had regarded the Dark-Winged Guardian as his treasure, but now that all his treasures had been slaughtered, how could he not be upset?
The Spirit Controller had spent a lot of time and energy on those Dark-Winged Guardians.
He had regarded them as an important trump card of the seventh main city.
"Seventh City Lord, don't be too angry." Yuan Lie smiled faintly when he saw that the Spirit Controller was so angry that he spat out blood. Then, he waved his hand, and dozens of black and bloody corpses appeared and fell on an open space in the distance.
The pungent smell of blood permeated the entire arena.
Those black and bloody corpses were the Dark-Winged Guardians.
Not only had Yuan Lie killed the Dark-Winged Guardian, but he had also brought its corpses here.
"Seventh City Lord, I know that you cherish these monkeys very much, so I specially brought their corpses here as a gift to you." Yuan Lie laughed and said, "I hope that you will feel better when you see these corpses."
His words of "comfort" were like steel needles that pierced the Spirit Controller's heart.
Looking at the Dark-Winged Guardian's corpse on the ground, the Spirit Controller looked furious and spat out another mouthful of blood.
His years of hard work had gone down the drain, and it had even been given to him as a gift.
This feeling of humiliation almost drove him crazy!
If he had not been rational, he would have pounced on Yuan Lie and killed him.
However, he could not. He did not dare to do so.
This was because Yuan Ying was also here.
Yuan Ying's strength was above his.
If the Spirit Controller made a move now, it would be tantamount to courting death.
Yuan Ying and his son had obviously planned this visit for a long time.
This time, the Seventh Main City would really become a vassal of the Fourth Main City.
Thinking of this, the Spirit Controller's heart was even more pained, and he spat out another mouthful of blood.
After spitting out three mouthfuls of blood, the Spirit Controller's old face turned a little pale, and he looked very embarrassed.
At that moment, a figure appeared behind the Spirit Controller and asked faintly, "My Lord, are you all right?"
The Spirit Controller turned to look at the person behind him and called out in a deep voice, looking extremely helpless. "Nie Tian."
Nie Tian supported the Spirit Controller, his eyes fixed on Yuan Lie.
The Yuan father and son had really gone too far.
Not only had they killed the Seventh Main City's Divine Guardian Beast, but they had also brought its corpse here to humiliate the Spirit Controller.
How could Nie Tian not see that the Yuan father and son were doing this to intimidate the Seventh Main City so that the Spirit Controller would obediently become a vassal city lord?
At that moment, Yuan Lie's voice rang out again, and he looked at Yang Qi with a cold look in his eyes. "Commander Yang Qi, can we start the competition now?" he asked in a cold voice.
His eyes were filled with killing intent. He didn't want to compete at all, but rather, kill Yang Qi!
From beginning to end, Yuan Lie did not even look at Nie Tian and the others.
A group of late-stage Paramount Gods was simply not worthy of his attention.
"I …" Yang Qi's face froze. He was so frightened by Yuan Lie's killing intent that he could not speak.
However, at that moment, the Spirit Controller's deep voice rang out. "Yang Qi!"
Yang Qi's eyes trembled. How could he not understand that the Spirit Controller wanted him to fight Yuan Lie?
If Yang Qi won, he might be able to change the Seventh Main City's fate.
This was the Seventh Main City's only chance.
