Chapter 940: Chapter 940: Any Other Cannon Fodder?

"Everyone, please calm down."

Brother Cheng was accustomed to various situations and quickly adapted.

Facing the crowd, he waved his hand to show that it was no big deal.

"Let me level up first, and I’ll be back in a few days."

The crowd was almost too tired to retort.

"You’re only at the late-stage Emperor Realm Third Layer, and you’ll be ready in a few days?"

"Breaking through two Great Realms in a few days, you’re really boasting."

"Thought you’d at least make a level up, turns out you can’t even get in."

"Stop forcing yourself; if you can’t do it, you can’t."

"Exactly, you Otherworldly People coming to our Ice Realm to show off, wishful thinking."

Brother Cheng automatically filtered out their words.

He took Gong Qing and planned to pass through the crowd, find a secluded place to ’take medicine’ first.

But before he could leave, he was blocked.

"What, you still want to leave?"

He saw over a dozen Emperor Realm Sixth Layer cultivators standing in his way, and the one leading them had reached Emperor Realm Seventh Layer.

"You’re causing a commotion in Scarlet Snow Domain, going against our Ice Palace!"

Gong Qing quickly sent a message, "He’s Rui Wu from Ice Palace, early-stage Emperor Realm Seventh Layer, incredibly powerful, don’t offend him!"

"Bow down this time, bowing to Emperor Realm Seventh Layer isn’t disrespectful at all."

She worried Brother Cheng might act rashly, like before.

Hurriedly, she desperately advised him to endure this.

"You want to enter Ice Origin Valley, complicating matters would affect the main task."

"Even if you create a miracle and kill him, you’d face endless pursuit from Ice Palace, unnecessary."

Deep down, she didn’t really believe Jiang Cheng could create miracles this time.

The opponent was too strong.

Severely out of scope!

Traveling with Brother Cheng over time, even the always calm Gong Qing was overwhelmed by the ever-escalating level of enemies.

Initially facing Emperor Realm Second and Third Layer, now after merely a month, facing Emperor Realm Seventh Layer.

To her persuasion, Brother Cheng was noncommittal.

Indeed, eager to go somewhere to level up and then return to climb the Ice Ladder and show off, not wanting to waste time on other things.

But ignoring the experience pack laid before him might invoke heavenly wrath.

Before he could speak, several people suddenly flew in from the side.

"Rui Wu, count us in!"

"Haha, truly a rare opportunity!"

Gong Qing’s face changed again, exclaiming, "Damn it, it’s You Quan, another Emperor Realm Seventh Layer expert from Ice Palace!"

Rui Wu was slightly annoyed, "You Quan, why are you interfering?"

You Quan laughed, "Let’s all celebrate the success together; you can’t hog all the glory!"

Jiang Cheng was someone Ice Palace ordered to be taken down.

He’s being hunted worldwide.

Taking him down would be a great accomplishment.

Could they miss this chance?

Of course, they’d vie for the credit.

"An Otherworldly person, coming to our Ice Realm, still so arrogant?"

"Don’t you know how to keep a low profile?"

Brother Cheng replied ambiguously, "Don’t know; maybe you can demonstrate it for me?"

"What did you say?"

Rui Wu and You Quan’s expressions darkened, and the dozen Emperor Realm Sixth Layer cultivators behind them began to clamor.

"Looking to die?"

"Already surrounded and still so rampant?"

"Kill him!"

"Take him out!"

Even the other cultivators nearby frowned one after another.

Is this guy dumb?

As an Otherworldly person, after being exposed, shouldn’t one hide and flee instead of rushing into crowds?

Now surrounded and still daring to boast?

Truly wants a quick death!

"You truly deserve death!"

Rui Wu and You Quan’s murderous intent was completely unmasked.

Over a dozen Emperor Realm Sixth Layer experts spread out, surrounding Brother Cheng and Gong Qing together.

"Not just Jiang Cheng, but also the Ice Maiden beside him needs to be captured!"

"Right, this Ice Maiden dared to walk with the Otherworld enemy; it’s a betrayal of the entire Ice Realm!"

Finished.

Gong Qing’s heart sank completely.

The previous crises were still manageable; if Jiang Cheng really died, she could simply relocate.

This time was different.

Labeled as colluding with the enemy by Ice Palace, even if she survived, she’d face enmity everywhere in Ice Realm, with no place to go.

Brother Cheng originally didn’t take these people seriously.

Hearing Gong Qing was implicated, he sighed.

"I took out all those people in Scarlet Snow Domain; she’s just a sidekick with me, can’t beat anyone."

"Why make things difficult for a sidekick?"

Although understanding his intentions, Gong Qing was nevertheless at a loss.

Being described as a sidekick, she found it hard to find comfort in that!

"Whether it’s difficult or not, what you say doesn’t count!"

Rui Wu smirked coldly, "Walking with you is a great crime; her life is over!"

"Is it?"

Sect Leader Jiang smiled faintly and then shouted into the distance.

"Any other members of Ice Palace wanting to earn merits, come on over."

"Don’t miss out on such an opportunity!"

No one understood what he meant.

What, you think there aren’t enough enemies yet?

"Count me in, what’s up?" From the crowd, an Emperor Realm Sixth Layer cultivator immediately flew over.

"I’m in too!"

"I wasn’t planning to act, but you asked for it!"

"Hmph, such a trivial affair, might as well aid you on your way."

"Why bother, why seek trouble for oneself?"

Other members of Ice Palace flew over one by one.

In moments, Brother Cheng’s situation escalated from facing a dozen to more than two hundred.

Ice Palace indeed strong, among these two hundred, the weakest was an early-stage Emperor Realm Fifth Layer.

Over a hundred had reached Emperor Realm Sixth Layer, with the count of Emperor Realm Seventh Layer rising to three.

All of them surrounded him threateningly.

"No more?"

Brother Cheng seemed dissatisfied.

"Those not from Ice Palace are welcome too; anyone wanting to kill us, step forward."

"I want to see just how many there are."

The crowd stirred.

Rui Wu leading the group didn’t stop them, rather watched the spectacle amused.

Indeed, he too was curious about the number responding to Ice Palace.

The crowd stirred, soon others flew over.

"Count me in!"

"I dislike Otherworldly People!"

"With Ice Palace’s command, how could I not comply?"

"Since you wish for death, I shall fulfill your wish."

After a moment, another five hundred flew to join Ice Palace’s group.

As for those who remained, either finding it unworthy, uninterested, or simply felt killing these two didn’t warrant their involvement.

Thus, all of them retreated to a distance.

The situation became clear.

A group of two against a group of 742.

One side having three Emperor Realm Seventh Layer, the other only an Emperor Realm Third Layer and an Emperor Realm Second Layer.

Imbalanced enough to make one cry.

Even if Brother Cheng had previously slayed a Domain Master, outside viewers found it absurd, like a farcical play.

"No other chickens wanting merit?" Sect Leader Jiang glanced at the thousands watching from afar, still dissatisfied.

But alas, none came forth this time.
