Lie Tian imdiately stepped forward and turned to look at Xu Nian.
His eyes brimd with unceasing anger.
"You don't have to look at like that, you can't even protect the woman you love, you're more like a stray dog fleeing everywhere, only able to cower in a corner. Do you dare say you aren't just scrounging to survive?" Xu Nian scoffed with a mocking laugh.
Lie Tian clenched his fists, his eyes bloodshot.
Seeing this, the sneer on Xu Nian's face grew even more intense.
"Resent it? Your Shasha is now pregnant, carrying your flesh and blood, yet you left her with soone who wishes to kill her at any mont. What are you if not useless?" Xu Nian mocked again.
Lie Tian was so beaten down by Xu Nian's words that he staggered back two steps.
His gaze beca distant.
Clearly, Xu Nian's words had struck the deepest part of his heart.
Watching this unfold, the smirk on Xu Nian's lips grew even thicker.
"Who are you? Did the Shark Emperor send you to deliberately stall for ti, then have the Shark Emperor's army co to kill us? You know nothing. Only if I am not found can Shasha safely survive." Lie Tian suddenly looked up, his expression fierce as he spoke.
"Is that so? Then hide for a lifeti. I want to see how long your Shasha can live," Xu Nian said with a flippant scoff.
His tone was filled with disappointnt.
Lie Tian backed away another two steps, now with tears streaming down his face.
Xu Nian, on the other hand, chuckled.
Looking at the nearly broken Lie Tian, he spoke, "I'm giving you a chance right now. I can help you fend off the approaching million-strong army, and I can kill the Shark Emperor for you, reunite you with your Shasha, and even let you sit upon the throne of the Shark Clan."
Lie Tian halted his tears and looked at Xu Nian with astonishnt.
Resist a million-strong Sea Demon army?
Kill the Shark Emperor?
Let him take the throne of the Shark Emperor?
Was he hearing this correctly?
"You don't have to look so surprised. Since I've made the offer, I can naturally accomplish it, but you must have sothing that makes it worth my while to help you." Xu Nian gazed at Lie Tian haughtily.
Lie Tian's heart trembled instantly.
For so reason, at this mont, he felt an uncontrollable urge to submit.
The previously absurd words now seed as though they could truly be realized.
He didn't know where this inexplicable trust ca from.
"Fine, as long as you help withstand this million-strong army and kill the Shark Emperor, letting be with Shasha, I will give you my treasure chest," Lie Tian promptly said.
Now he could only trust the mysterious young human in front of him.
"Hmph, do you think I care about your treasure chest?" Xu Nian sneered disdainfully.
That left Lie Tian stunned.
The treasure chest was all he had to offer.
And yet this young man seed not to care for it.
"Then what do you really want?" Lie Tian hastily asked.
"I want your submission to . I won't ask for your Soul Mark, but I want your heartfelt loyalty to . Also, you need a strong heart. My people, in this world, will not be humiliated by anyone but ," Xu Nian declared proudly.
Lie Tian was startled.
For so reason at that mont,
when the young man uttered those words, his heart surged with a boiling passion.
Especially the last sentence, which shook his soul profoundly.
"Fine, as long as you can help , it's not just about submitting to you. Even my life is yours," Lie Tian said imdiately.
Xu Nian smiled faintly, stepped forward, and patted Lie Tian on the shoulder.
"Then observe closely. As the future king of the Shark Clan, see what kind of spirit you should have," Xu Nian told Lie Tian.
Having said this, he brushed past Lie Tian.
Lie Tian turned his head, only to find that they were already surrounded by a densely packed Shark Clan army.
The number of soldiers was countless.
The entire Demon Wind Cave was besieged, with no ans of escape.
A majestic aura emanated from this vast army of the Shark Clan.
That powerful presence directly suffocated those nearby, leaving them gasping for air.
Lie Tian was horrified, even feeling weak in the knees.
However, when he saw the young man approaching defiantly, utterly unaffected by the nacing aura of the surrounding Shark Clan forces,
his heart was filled with shock.
Could it be that what this youth had said was true?
Could he truly face this million-strong army alone?
"Buzz!"
Just then, within the million-strong Shark Clan army,
ten n and won stepped forward.
Among them were Bai Ling and Red-Eyed, unmistakably among their number.
Yes, they were the ten generals of the Shark Clan.
The mobilization of ten generals at the sa ti indicated that the Shark Emperor was determined to have them win at all costs.
But this was not the end yet.
These ten generals suddenly stepped aside,
and from behind them erged a burly man with a commanding aura of a superior.
"We greet our Emperor!"
As the man stepped forth, the million-strong army cried out in unison,
their presence shaking the heavens and the earth.
However, the man paid no attention to the million-strong army but instead fixed his gaze upon Xu Nian and Lie Tian.
Especially when he caught sight of Lie Tian, a strong killing intent flickered deep within his eyes.
"Ha ha, Brother Xu Nian, I didn't expect you to actually have the ability, and you really did lure out Lie Tian. Don't worry, the conditions I promised you before, I will certainly fulfill," the Shark Emperor said to Xu Nian with a hearty laugh.
Lie Tian, on the other hand, was taken aback and then turned his venomous gaze towards Xu Nian,
"You trickster, you're in league with him," Lie Tian angrily accused.
Xu Nian had just kept on saying so much,
And he had actually believed it.
It turned out Xu Nian was in league with the Shark Emperor.
What about the claim of facing a million-strong army alone?
That was nothing but a deceitful tall tale.
However, Xu Nian just laughed, paying no mind to the malicious look in Lie Tian's eyes.
Instead, he looked up to the Shark Emperor and said, "Shark Emperor, what are you really thinking? Do you think I wouldn't know that you need the key I hold in my hand, so from the very beginning, you never intended to share the treasure with ? Once you get both the treasure chest and the key in your hands, you'll probably kill first thing."
The Shark Emperor's brow furrowed, but it quickly smoothed out.
He laughed out loud, "Ha ha, Xu Nian, I didn't expect you to be quite clever, but don't you think it's a bit late to be saying this now? Today, neither you nor this damned Lie Tian will escape, and the treasures you hold will belong to ."
Upon hearing this, Lie Tian's brows furrowed deeply.
Xu Nian, however, began to chuckle.
"Too late? I don't think it's too late at all. Killing you now is the perfect timing," Xu Nian said as he flicked his hand, and a sharp sword appeared in his grip.
"Pretentious fool, I have a million-strong army here. Killing you is as easy as crushing an ant. You're facing death and you still dare to be arrogant. Red-Eyed, attack, kill this boy!" the Shark Emperor ordered furiously.
"Yes!"
Upon hearing the order, Red-Eyed produced two giant axes in his hands.
Swinging the axes, he charged toward Xu Nian.
Xu Nian, watching Red-Eyed's approach, had a cold smile playing at the corner of his mouth.
He then uttered a sentence that left everyone present dumbfounded, "Since you don't believe , today I shall fight until your courage shatters!"
