The intention of this exchange was clear. As long as Miao Yi was willing to release the captives, the Netherworld army wouldn't be able to kill so many of them. She was also prepared to let go of the matter regarding her clansmen. The reason for that was because she was in the wrong, and more importantly, she didn't want to be dragged into the grudge between Miao Yi and the Ying Clan. That was why she was willing to sacrifice so many lives in exchange.
She now understood that a fire at the city gate would also bring disaster to the fish in the moat. The human race was already embroiled in the internal strife of the Heavenly Court. She? The clan had become someone else's pawn. The internal struggles of the Celestial Court were very cruel, and the forces involved were very complicated. Often, a small matter could be pushed into a big matter by someone with ulterior motives. If the human race brought about the extermination of the entire race, then what about the major powers? She couldn't afford to offend anyone in the clan, so she wanted to leave as soon as possible.
She thought she had already paid a heavy price. After all, Miao Yi had killed so many of them. However, Miao Yi would never let her have her way. Otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to go through so much trouble. He would've gone straight to the Ying Family a long time ago. He sneered, "Ying Family? I don't understand? Why was the King implicating the Ying Clan? Since? Since King is so magnanimous, I am not someone who does not know what's good for me … "
At this point,? Wang Ben thought the situation had taken a turn for the better, but Miao Yi's next words almost drove her crazy. "As long as? Wang Neng wanted the Ying family to explain everything clearly and admit that they were the ones who captured Xu Tangran. The king is worried. I'll release the clansmen immediately. I won't go back on my word! "
? Queen Wang gritted her teeth so hard that they almost shattered. How could the Ying Clan possibly admit to such a thing? Even if the Heavenly Court were to ask about it, they would definitely not admit to it. There was no way that she would allow the Ying Clan to relent. She gritted her teeth and said, "Niu Youde, you're well aware of the enmity between you and the Ying Clan, but me? The human race is innocent, don't go too far! "
Miao Yi replied, "I don't know if he's innocent or not, but it's only natural for me to demand his release from the person who captured me! You? Your clan has captured my people, but you're not willing to release them. You're trying to pull out the Ying Clan to make me believe you, and you're even saying that I'm going too far. Who's the one going too far? " The clan would not let them go.
Bluemoon and Long Xin looked at each other, then looked at Miao Yi with a hint of admiration in their eyes.
At this point, if the two of them still couldn't see through Miao Yi's intentions, then there was no need for them to keep their heads down. At first, they really thought that Miao Yi was trying to avenge Xu Tangran. But now, they finally understood why Miao Yi was so insistent on massacring the nearby planet. Even though they were against it, he still insisted on carrying it out. So this was his motive. He knew that the Ying Clan was powerful, so he didn't want to fight them head-on. The clan leader went to the front to face the Ying family.
Ever since the two of them joined Miao Yi, the Netherworld Presidential Manor had been keeping a low profile. The Netherworld Army had never made any big moves before. Today was the first time the two of them had made such a big move under Miao Yi's lead. Today, the two of them had finally witnessed the might of this Lieutenant Commander. As they recalled the past rumors, they realized that Niu Youde's reputation was indeed well-deserved!
As for why Miao Yi didn't tell them before, the two of them could understand. Once the crucial part of the plan was leaked and the Ying Clan found out about it, they wouldn't be able to continue playing around. What they needed to do was to launch a decisive surprise attack and catch them off guard.
The two of them were right. Miao Yi had never intended to fight the Ying Clan head-on, especially after he found out that the Ying Clan had secretly mobilized five million elites. He knew that with the Netherworld Army's current strength, no matter how hard they tried, they would still die.
He also knew very well that the Ying Clan would never let Xu Tangran go. They might not even give him the chance to collect his corpse. But he still wanted to try his best. Just because he tried his best didn't mean that he would sacrifice a hundred thousand soldiers with him.
Back when he was still a hot-blooded youth, he used to feel ashamed and indignant at how some people would sacrifice others for the sake of the greater good. He had become the sacrificial lamb more than once. Now that he had come to this realization, he didn't hesitate to make the decision to become the person he hated all those years ago.
That was why when he led his troops here, he was already mentally prepared to sacrifice Xu Tangran. He wouldn't risk the lives of a hundred thousand soldiers just for Xu Tangran's life, and he wouldn't mobilize the Purgatory Army either. If he mobilized the Purgatory Army against the Ying Clan, even if he won, he would still lose. And even if the Ying Clan lost, they would still win.
Inside the battle formation, Duke Yuan stared at Miao Yi with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
? Miao Yi's words drove the King a little crazy. She barked, "Are you going to let him go or not?!"
Seeing her like this, it seemed like she was going to use force instead of soft tactics. Bluemoon and the others couldn't help but tense up.
Meanwhile, Miao Yi, who had a calm expression on his face, decisively raised his hand and raised two fingers in response.
'Have they seen the consequences of him raising a finger before?' The hearts of the human army instantly tensed up. They could roughly guess what the two fingers meant.
The result didn't disappoint them. The Netherworld Army quickly pushed out two thousand people who were screaming for help in panic. The human descendants went to the front of the formation and all of them begged for help. The King was begging.
Long Xin was a little frightened. If they were to clash head-on like this, they might end up dying together.
Miao Yi suddenly turned around and glared at Long Xin coldly. His eyes were already filled with killing intent. The meaning of his rebuke was very obvious.
Miao Yi was indeed angry. He was someone who was used to putting his life on the line. At this moment, he was basically gambling with his life. How could he let the other party think that they were weak and easy to bully?
Long Xin's heart trembled. He knew that his hesitation had angered Miao Yi. He immediately shouted again, "Prepare for the execution!"
Swish! The sabers and swords were raised again. The two thousand that were being pushed out? The human descendants were completely panicking. It could be said that they were putting up a last-ditch struggle. However, their transcendence energy was restricted and they couldn't break free.
"King …"
"King! Save us … "
The mournful cries were extremely tragic.
This scene was simply too shocking. The eyes of the human army were about to pop out of their sockets and their breathing stagnated. There were so many children among them!
? King Yi's eyes were almost bloodshot. He suddenly pointed at Miao Yi and roared, "How dare you!"
"Kill!" Miao Yi shouted without hesitation. His voice reverberated like thunder. He was extremely decisive!
"Stop!"? Countless people in the human army yelled out in unison.
However, it was too late. Miao Yi's army was extremely strict. At the very least, strict obedience was the most important thing.
Sabers and swords flashed. With a series of slashing sounds, two thousand heads were sent flying with blood spurting out. The Netherworld army was extremely ruthless.
"Ah …"
? Countless people in the human army roared at the sky and beat their chests as though they were weeping blood. They could only watch helplessly as their men, women, old, and young died so tragically. They were so helpless that their hearts were about to break. King Yi's face was deathly pale. His entire body was trembling. He clenched his fists tightly and almost spat out the word 'kill'. He bit his lip so hard that it bled.
You Huan, who had fallen into the hands of the Netherworld army, closed her eyes and wept. She could no longer bear to watch such a tragic scene.
? In the human camp, You You was also trembling. Her chest heaved up and down rapidly. She could only watch helplessly as she committed the sin she had committed. Suddenly, she roared, "I'll fight you to the death!" Her figure flashed out.
"Come back!"? King Yi shouted.
Bluemoon and Long Xin appeared in front of Miao Yi at almost the same time. You You's cultivation was not weak. She was an expert of the Divine Manifestation Realm.
The three thousand archers shot out again. With a flurry of arrows, almost ten thousand beams of light shot towards a single person.
Boom boom boom!
A cloud of blood exploded in the sky. A person instantly disappeared, leaving only a mist of blood drifting in the air.
It was true that You You had charged over. It was also true that she had fought with her life on the line. However, she did not block. Everyone could see that at the last moment, she had spread her limbs and allowed the arrows to pierce through her heart. She was torn to pieces by the powerful attack.
At this moment, even Miao Yi was stunned. He could see that You You was asking for death.
"Mother …" Hearing You You's shout, You Huan opened her eyes and murmured miserably.
? The human side had also quietened down. They looked at the cloud of blood in silence.
Miao Yi broke the silence again. He calmly said, "? King, I'll give you one more chance. Xu Tangran, are you going to let him go or not?! "
? King Yi raised his hand and pointed at Miao Yi. His expression was as cold as ice. "Even if you kill them all, you won't be able to leave alive. Not a single one of you will be able to leave alive!"
Miao Yi slowly nodded. "I have been on the battlefield for a long time. I have always fought to the death to survive. King, are you threatening me? Very well! I want to see today. Can the human race stop my Netherworld Army? If you can't keep me here, I will definitely die in the future. Kill them all! "As he finished speaking, he raised the sword in his hand and placed it across You Huan's neck.
You Huan slowly closed her teary eyes. A bitter smile of relief appeared on her face.
Whoosh! The Netherworld Army immediately raised their spears and swords, ready for battle. They were ready to kill all of the human captives. They were only waiting for You Huan's head to fly out as the signal.
"King …"
Cries for help rang out one after another in an instant. The entire Netherworld Army held their breaths as they watched with widened eyes. The weapons in their hands were almost about to shatter.
Duke Yuan's expression tensed up as he gulped. He was filled with regret. If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have gone to the phantom market's headquarters to apply for the recruitment. He quietly held a Star Bell in his hand, ready to call for reinforcements at any time.
"Stop!"
Just as Miao Yi was about to chop off You Huan's head with his sword, King Yi suddenly shouted. Wang Ran suddenly shouted angrily to stop him. He shouted like a madman, "We can discuss this again!"
She didn't dare to gamble against this madman anymore. She heard that this madman was someone who dared to lead half a Tiger Banner and fight against a million elites. Did she really think he wouldn't dare to kill all the hostages before following? Fight against the human race? By then, it wouldn't just be these few hundred thousand hostages who would die. Even if the human race won, the casualties would be heavy. Not a single one of the enemy's hundred thousand had a cultivation below Cailian, and they even had the Transcendence Breaker Bow.
As the? King of the human race, as the? Chieftain of the human race, protecting her people was her mission …
Miao Yi's sword paused for a moment and rested on You Huan's shoulder. He raised his brows and asked, "Could it be? King, are you willing to hand them over? "
Who knew how many people were concerned about the movement of the sword in his hand.
? King, "Let my people go first!"
Miao Yi said in a low voice, "Do you think that's possible?"
? The King loudly said, "You know full well the situation. The hostages are in the hands of the Ying Clan. Even if you kill them all now, I won't be able to hand them over to you immediately. We can make an exchange. You let them go, and I will be your hostage. We can then slowly discuss how to save the hostages from the Ying Clan. You want to use me? Isn't the human race what you want? "
She had already made up her mind. She was prepared to sacrifice herself. Once her people were out of control, she would order them to leave her behind and immediately retreat.
"King! No! "
"King! You can't do this. You can't take this risk. We won't agree to your exchange! "
