Time fleeted by and nearly two hours passed in the blink of an eye. Tan Xiu, who was sitting on a boulder on the beach, watched the dozens of liners rapidly approaching in the distance with a smile on the corner of his mouth. With a few gestures, figures flickered lightning-fast and suddenly appeared on the beach.
"Mr. Tang."
As the liners docked, Vulcan, who was covered in scars, quickly came to Tan Xiu. Although his expression couldn't be seen, the chilling aura emanating from his body indicated that he was extremely angry at the moment.
"We lost?"
Tan Xiu's expression was full of indifference and his tone was a bit cold.
Vulcan clenched his fists and said, "We lost. The Celestial Wizard Clan is much stronger than we expected. Even though we went all out, we were still no match for them. The most hateful thing is that the Dark Shaman Clan's people didn't have the slightest intention to help us when they found that the other party's reinforcements had arrived. Otherwise, my Sacred Flame Organization wouldn't have suffered such a huge loss. "
"As far as I know, the number of experts from the Dark Shaman Clan who went to the fourth island is not many." Tan Xiu shook his head. "If they help you, not only will it not reduce your losses, I'm afraid it will greatly increase."
"What do you mean?"
Vulcan's tone turned cold.
"The Celestial Wizard Clan's purpose in coming here is to slaughter the members of the Dark Shaman Clan," said Tan Xiu indifferently. "However, they didn't find any members of the Dark Shaman Clan from the first island to the fourth island. Therefore, if a group of experts from the Dark Shaman Clan were to appear on the fourth island and participate in the battle, it will likely arouse the Celestial Wizard Clan's hatred and cause their momentum to skyrocket. Do you think they'll let it go at that time? Will they pursue you and kill you crazily? "
Vulcan's eyes narrowed and the chilling aura emanating from his body reduced a lot. He didn't think about this aspect before because the loss of thousands of his men made him feel distressed and angry. But now, after hearing Tan Xiu's words, he felt that it made sense.
Tan Xiu said again, "The reason why the Sacred Flame Organization is fighting this time is because they accepted the Nine Sacred Flame Insignia mission. As far as I know, the Sacred Flame Organization has accepted the Nine Sacred Flame Insignia mission twice before. I suppose the losses you suffered in those two missions were not smaller than this one, right?"
Vulcan pondered for a while and finally nodded with a depressed expression. "It's indeed much bigger than it is now. Especially the second time, when our Sacred Flame Organization was almost completely annihilated."
Tan Xiu said, "Therefore, since you've accepted my employment and are willing to activate the Nine Sacred Flame Insignia, you must be prepared to suffer heavy losses. Of course, your gains are also very big. After all, from the beginning of hiring you until the end of this incident, you will receive 15 billion USD. This is not a small amount. "
"Indeed!"
Vulcan muttered in his heart.
He wasn't short of money right now. The main reason why he agreed to accept Tan Xiu's employment this time was that he wanted to train his men and eliminate all the weak members of the Sacred Flame Organization, leaving only the elites and powerhouses. Another reason why his anger vanished was that although the losses were heavy this time, the smaller the number of people left, the more money he would get in the end.
He had money.
But he never disliked having more money.
Vulcan looked up at Tan Xiu and seriously said, "Our Sacred Flame Organization has suffered heavy losses on the fourth island. I'm afraid we won't be able to participate in the next battle. Of course, we'll also help you if you're eventually defeated by the Celestial Wizard Clan. "
Tan Xiu shook his head and said, "I didn't hire you to watch the show. I originally wanted to bring my men to fight with you in the battle on the fourth island, but you rejected my good intention because you didn't think it was necessary. You came here to help me exterminate all the Celestial Wizard Clan's people. So, instead of waiting for us to be defeated, it's better for you to fight with us directly. I guarantee that your Sacred Flame Organization won't suffer too much loss in the next battle. "
"We wouldn't have to act if we fled directly to the sixth island," said Vulcan with a frown.
"But you didn't flee to the sixth island because you're afraid that the Celestial Wizard Clan's experts will chase you there," said Tan Xiu. "Since you've fled here, you need to fight side by side with us. It's better to say that you're helping yourselves rather than helping us. "
"20 billion dollars. If you're willing to pay us 20 billion dollars, I'm willing to lead all the members of Sacred Flame to fight side by side with you to exterminate all the Celestial Wizard Clan's experts. "Vulcan didn't directly refuse Tan Xiu's offer, but raised the price with a firm tone.
Tan Xiu deeply furrowed his brows and deliberately showed an awkward expression. After pondering for several minutes, he nodded and said, "20 billion dollars is indeed a huge sum, but it's not convenient for me to transfer the money to you now. I'll transfer the remaining 15 billion dollars to your account after the battle is over."
“OK！”
A smile appeared on Vulcan's face and he immediately ordered the Sacred Flame members to disembark. He ordered them to join forces with the Tang Sect disciples and the Dark Shaman Clan to besiege the Celestial Wizard Clan's powerful enemies.
Amidst the boundless sea.
More than a dozen liners quickly sailed toward the fifth island. On the deck of the leading liner, a black-robed old man and another companion sat cross-legged, quietly looking at the sea ahead.
"Elder Brother, I don't know why, but I suddenly have a feeling of trepidation. It's as if we're about to face a life-or-death crisis. " That expert, who looked very young, frowned and said to the Sorcerer Ancestor. He looked like a young man.
Wizard Ancestor was silent for a few minutes and then slowly said, "It wouldn't be a problem for all of us to evacuate if we didn't go through the battle on the fourth island. But our Celestial Wizard Clan suffered heavy losses on the fourth island, and all of our clansmen are suppressing their anger. I'm afraid we won't be able to let our clansmen vent their anger if we don't chase after those enemies. "
"That's right! Our Wizard Clan has a cultivation art. If we can't vent our anger, it will affect the minds of our clansmen and cause their cultivation to stagnate. This is also one of the reasons why we can't retaliate even though our clansmen are constantly being harmed. Hence, we chose to vent our anger on the Dark Shaman Clan, "said the young powerhouse with an old voice and a nod.
"According to Helios Luna's message, he should be on the fifth island of the Nonagon Bulwark, Sunny Island," said Wizard Ancestor all of a sudden. "But those enemies have fled to Sunny Island, so what about Helios Luna? Did something happen to him? "
"I don't know."
For a time, both of them fell into silence. Although they were a bit uneasy, they still insisted on chasing after the enemy. During the battle on the fourth island, their people detected the presence of the Dark Shaman Clan's wizards. They decided to kill their way to the fifth island. On the one hand, they would kill the Sacred Flame members, but on the other hand, they would also find the Dark Shaman Clan's people and exterminate them.
Ahead …
The fifth island was faintly visible. Although it looked a bit blurry, both of them could already see their destination. It was precisely because of this that the atmosphere on the liner became particularly solemn. The soaring killing intent nearly condensed into a tangible substance, causing the temperature here to drop several degrees compared to the surroundings.
"Everyone, abandon the ship and land on the island!"
Wizard Ancestor slowly stood up from the deck. Along with his hoarse voice, figures shot out from more than a dozen liners like sharp arrows. In the blink of an eye, the beach was occupied by dozens of Celestial Wizard Clan's experts and they were on high alert.
"Set fire! Burn the entire island!"
Wizard Ancestor waved the magic staff in his hand and a towering pillar of fire blasted toward the woods above. More than 2,000 experts of the Celestial Wizard Clan disembarked from the ship and landed on the shore. This time was different from the battle on the fourth island. Apparently, they were ready to fight with all their might.
During the battle on the fourth island, they dispatched less than 1,000 people. But now, although two to three hundred people had died in battle, their total number was still more than 2,000. This meant that nearly all the powerhouses of the Celestial Wizard Clan had come here.
It was killing intent!
It was perseverance!
The prairie fire crazily spread under the uncontrollable urge. The forest on the fifth island occupied three-fourths of the entire island. The entire sky was dyed red by the raging fire.
"KILL …"
The Celestial Wizard Clan's experts tried their best to avoid the burning fire and rushed toward the enemies that had appeared.
Standing on the roof of the two-story garden house in the center of the island, Tan Xiu watched the approaching flames with a sneer in his eyes. His location was a two-kilometer residential area made of reinforced concrete. Therefore, no matter how fierce the fire was, it wouldn't pose any threat to them.
However …
He pitied the Sacred Flame's people because more than 60% of the organization's members were hiding in the jungle. Although the fire couldn't harm them, it could force them to show up to face the enemy.
"KILL! KILL WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT! The more you fight, the less the threat my Tang Sect's disciples and the Dark Shaman Clan's members will be. "Tan Xiu's heart was filled with hatred and his eyes kept flickering.
20 minutes later.
When Tan Xiu saw Dou Huoshen rushing toward him lightning-fast, he immediately shouted, "Heed my order, everyone! Get ready to slaughter the enemies of the Celestial Wizard Clan! Chen Zhizhong, lead a group of people to besiege the two Celestial Wizard powerhouses. Remember, I don't want you to kill them, just stall them! "
"Understood!"
Chen Zhizhong shouted and immediately rushed out with more than 20 Tang Sect's experts.
"Tang Guang, Tang An!" shouted Tang Xiu again. "Tang Guang, Tang An, you two sneak attack those two powerful enemies. Do your best to inflict heavy damage or kill them!"
"Understood!"
The airflow in the air changed and the duo instantly disappeared.
Tan Xiu took a deep breath. After Huoshen dashed in front of him, his figure flashed and quickly dashed toward the direction where the battle was the most intense. He then shouted, "Huoshen, tell your men to kill the enemies!"
