Chapter 2301: Hesitators, Either Dead or Injured

What can a high martial arts talent of the Black-scaled Demon achieve? Can he wage war?

More importantly...

How can demons reign over us? Even if we must join forces in a death battle, the Yu Vein should lead.

This is the deeply-rooted belief of a small faction within the Yu Vein, and once this idea surfaces, it will inevitably explode. Even if it doesn’t explode now, it will sooner or later. Chai Jiu intends to use this to fully grasp the war situation.

It’s important to know that Chai Jiu wants not just to win...

But also that Ying Sanmeng and Teng Yue cannot return to prison, and the Black-scaled Little Demon must be captured alive.

However, Sikong Jing couldn’t care less whether this small faction is satisfied or not.

Upon Ying Sanmeng commanding the Yu Vein members, Sikong Jing immediately shouted, "Listen to me, now everyone in Yu Vein, retreat to the rear of my Demon Vein in a defensive posture, and first focus on unlocking all shackles."

"Ying Sect Master and the two Divine Martial Elders, as well as all elders above Holy Martial, follow me."

As the War Order resounded, Sikong Jing directly mobilized the Soldier Killing Array Power, leading demon soldiers to charge out from the prison’s direction.

In an instant, they pressed above the Yu Vein crowd.

Various soldier killing formations surged forth.

Boom boom boom...

Ying Sanmeng earnestly coordinated with Sikong Jing, as did the two Divine Martial Elders. However... some Holy Martial Elders surged ahead, while others hesitated, still disgruntled.

The previous thought persisted: why must we follow you just because you say so?

But in the moment of disgruntled hesitation... boom!

The war had commenced, and the forces of both sides clashed fiercely. Needless to say, the terrifying might of Chai Jiu and others was not insignificant; this horrific clash unleashed a wild explosive energy before the prison.

In the next instant, the violent aftershock swept in all directions.

"Wah wah wah..."

In merely a moment, a small faction within Yu Vein suddenly spewed blood; some fell, some were even instantly shocked dead by the aftershock.

This caused Teng Yue, who was activating defensive formation based on Sikong Jing’s War Order while retreating rapidly, to change his expression drastically...

Some Yu Vein members had actually been shocked dead.

Logically, this should not have occurred; no matter how terrifying the aftershock, it was merely an aftershock. Stronger individuals above Holy Martial, cooperating with the demon soldiers’ array and Uncle Ying, would not be harmed by aftershocks.

Having activated the defensive array and retreated to the rear, they should not have been shocked dead.

Yet, some Yu Vein members died instantly.

Before Teng Yue could comprehend it, Sikong Jing suddenly revealed a detached smile: "Everyone in Yu Vein, do not hesitate about my War Order. Hesitating scatters your True Qi; hesitating makes death likely."

His voice thundered down upon the Yu Vein crowd...

Indeed, whether they were severely injured by spewing blood or instantly shocked dead by the aftershock, they were all the hesitant and disgruntled ones, unwilling to obey the demon’s command, thus failed to give their full effort.

Hence, they were rendered dead or injured by the aftershock.

At this moment, Chai Ren suddenly laughed: "Black-scaled Little Demon, you are still green. You indeed started by commanding Yu Vein to obey your War Order, and you’ve eliminated a promising situation."

From the perspective of the Cang Lineage, Sikong Jing should not have been so aggressive.

In their eyes, the Black-scaled Demon had already, through practical action and extraordinary talent, begun to gain acceptance in the hearts of most Yu Vein members, but giving the order "follow his War Order" was counterproductive.

Facing this battle, the Black-scaled Demon should not be the main commander, but rather the assistant to Ying Sanmeng.

Hence, overconfidence led to some Yu Vein members’ deaths.

How exhilarating!

Even Chai Jiu’s lips curled into a cold smile; indeed, the Black-scaled Little Demon was still immature.

However, Sikong Jing was unfazed and even retorted with a chuckle: "Chai Ren, didn’t you hear what I just said?"

"I said hesitation makes death likely. Isn’t that just what Chai Jiu and you are trying to achieve, causing an explosion during the battle between Demon Vein and Yu Vein? By triggering the explosion in advance, isn’t there no explosion anymore?"

Upon these words, Chai Ren was dumbfounded, Chai Jiu was dumbfounded, and everyone in Cang Lineage was dumbfounded...

They were processing Sikong Jing’s words...

The next moment, Chai Jiu’s eyes flashed with cold light, lowly growling: "You wretched Black-scaled Little Demon, you are truly sly. You deliberately employed a War Order to eliminate and kill those Yu Vein members who do not accept demons."

The Black-scaled Demon was not overconfident, forcing everyone to comply with his order.

Rather, he was eliminating those Yu Vein members still looking down on demons, ensuring they were directly shocked dead.

This strategy, even Chai Jiu felt, was incredibly ruthless.

Sikong Jing heard this and laughed again, no further replies or explanations...

The battlefield was one of life and death, so Sikong Jing needed absolute control, his primary objective.

If he couldn’t command Yu Vein absolutely, what was the point of fighting?

Therefore, Sikong Jing had to eliminate those still undecided Yu Vein members. He could have once saved all Yu Vein members, but after all his actions, they still failed to appreciate and looked down on demons.

So, dying was dying!

Only by ensuring all these doubters are dead can he obtain absolute control, can he ensure more survive.

Can he ensure the Demon Vein demons do not suffer significant losses.

In short, under these circumstances, they still flaunt their selfish, noble human postures; if they don’t die, who should?

Seeing Sikong Jing silent, Chai Ren again shouted: "You spoke of not caring whether they appreciate you, now so cruel."

Cruel and ruthless were just Chai Ren’s continued attempts to strike the demons and Yu Vein.

Sikong Jing shrugged and calmly replied: "No, I merely need everyone to recognize the situation."

As soon as the words fell, the War Tiger spoke as well...

"Indeed, obeying our Demon Vein Master’s War Order is precisely Ying Sect Master’s intention."

"They can be displeased or ignore our Demon Vein Master’s words, but why ignore Ying Sect Master’s words?"

At this moment, the War Tiger directly replaced the title of Black-scaled Little Brother with Demon Vein Master.

No more of future Demon Vein Master, no...

Starting now, the War Tiger would assist Sikong Jing in fully establishing the genuine prestige of the Demon Vein Master, also ensuring all demons recognize they are Demon Vein, not to be bullied.

At this time, Ying Sanmeng’s face was equally dark, sternly saying: "Yu Vein, you must obey!"

His heart was filled with anger, why were some still like this at this point?

Absolutely outrageous!

Simultaneously, Teng Yue fully understood why, despite it being avoidable, some died.

His impression of Sikong Jing shifted; previously Sikong Jing seemed fully supportive of Yu Vein, now becoming decisively murderous on the battlefield.

Teng Yue held no grudge against Sikong Jing.

Looking at those hesitant injured, there was only rage, frustrated by their weakness.
