Chapter 570: Threats Are Useless
Chapter 570: Threats Are Useless
“Ling Zhan, tell me, why did you choose to spare Livia?”
General Li asked with a smile.
It wasn’t because he feared the Light Church’s vice leader, but simply out of curiosity.
After all, even if the Light Church’s leader personally came here, it wouldn’t make any difference.
They wouldn’t have any influence on him.
“I just find her a bit peculiar.”
“She didn’t kill Luo Yun earlier, so I think it’s worth investigating further.”
“If it turns out she’s just like the others in these evil organizations, then it won’t be too late for me to kill her.”
Ling Zhan replied softly.
He wasn’t lying.
Once convinced that Livia was such a person, Ling Zhan wouldn’t hesitate to eliminate her.
He always meant what he said.
“Hmm, that makes sense.”
General Li nodded slightly.
Just then, a legion commander from the Free Federation spoke up.
“She might not have killed Luo Yun, but she did kill someone from our Free Federation!”
“No matter how you look at it, she must pay for her actions!”
As his words fell,
the vice leader of the Light Church finally seized the opportunity to speak.
With a calm smile, he said, “I think General Jeffrey is right. Besides, the Dark Church is an enemy of our Light Church. Now that your Dragon Kingdom has spared this woman in front of so many people, I’m afraid many of our believers will feel discontent toward your nation. The resulting public opinion may not bode well for you.”
His words carried subtle but unmistakable threats.
Indeed, the Light Church boasted an enormous number of followers worldwide.
These believers weren’t limited to common folk; some were elites in their fields, and even a few were rulers of certain countries—albeit mostly smaller nations.
But even so,
the momentum generated by such a backlash would be significant and not easily quelled.
However,
upon hearing this, General Li merely chuckled lightly, showing no sign of fear or concern.
“Alright, you two can stop trying to pressure me now. Don’t you know my temper by now?”
“If you think a bit of public opinion can make me hesitate, then you’re underestimating me, Li Chang.”
“So, I suggest refraining from such remarks—they only sour the mood.”
General Li spoke with a casual smile, as composed as ever.
The Dragon Kingdom of today was no longer the Dragon Kingdom of the past.
International opinions were just that—opinions.
As long as they had sufficient strength, no amount of sharp words or propaganda could have any real impact.
“Then, if the Free Federation encounters someone who has killed members of your Dragon Kingdom’s legion, can we also show mercy?”
Jeffrey asked coldly.
“Of course. To kill or not to kill is entirely up to you.”
“If one of our people loses their life, it simply means they weren’t skilled enough. There’s nothing more to say.”
“Besides, I trust that anyone brave enough to enter the arena isn’t afraid of death.”
“From the day they step onto the battlefield, I’ve made it clear that death is a regular occurrence—it could happen to any of us tomorrow.”
“Including me. As the commander of the Dragon Kingdom stationed at the Hundred Ghosts Fortress, I’m also prepared to sacrifice my life at any time.”
General Li continued, utterly unfazed.
His words weren’t mere bravado.
He truly was ready to lay down his life if necessary.
That’s just how the battlefield worked.
Even tier-four, level-100 powerhouses couldn’t guarantee their own survival.
Hearing this,
the two tier-four powerhouses fell silent, refraining from further argument.
They realized that General Li was completely immune to their threats.
“Fine. Since you’ve made your decision, then proceed as you see fit.”
“But remember to keep Livia in check. After all, she’s the Dark Church’s Saintess, and her method of killing Stein was extremely peculiar. Even we veterans can’t discern what she did.”
“So, be cautious.”
General Li offered his advice.
Ling Zhan nodded. “Of course. Please rest assured, General Li, Livia won’t cause any trouble.”
Satisfied, General Li nodded.
Ling Zhan then left the VIP area.
Back in his seat, Ling Zhan resumed watching the deathmatch.
The subsequent contestants from the evil organizations appeared noticeably stronger.
Meanwhile, members of the national legions began to suffer defeats and casualties.
It was clear that Ling Zhan’s earlier actions had truly enraged the opposition.
Finally...
When this round of matches concluded,
the referee wasted no time announcing the next round.
“Next match: Alfonso the Cyclops of the Blood Hammer Guild...”
“Versus Ling Zhan, captain of the Dragon Kingdom’s Ninth Squad!”
As the referee’s announcement echoed,
the audience erupted in an uproar!
“Here we go! Another elite versus elite showdown!”
“Yes! Go, Ling God! Crush him and avenge our fallen comrades!”
“I’m excited! Time to see Ling God in action again!”
“Same here! Get your phones and cameras ready!”
“...”
For the general audience, excitement soared.
They eagerly anticipated another thrilling battle featuring Ling Zhan.
To them, it promised to be yet another spectacular feast of combat.
How could they not be thrilled?
On the other hand, spectators from the evil organizations were equally elated!
Livia’s earlier performance had utterly embarrassed them.
But now, Alfonso the Cyclops was a genuine killer!
In his eyes, mercy didn’t exist!
“Master Alfonso, crush him!!”
“Yeah! Destroy that arrogant, disgusting non-specialist!”
“Does that puny non-specialist really think he can compare to Master Alfonso? Just stretch out your neck and beg for death already!”
“...”
In the waiting area.
“Alfonso, be cautious. That non-specialist’s skills and stats are beyond monstrous. Don’t let your guard down, or you’ll end up decapitated!”
At this moment, the Demon Arrival Organization’s Holy Son spoke with a faint smile.
Even he felt compelled to issue a warning.
After all, he couldn’t stand Ling Zhan either!
His jealousy ran deep.
Seeing Ling Zhan’s charm and poise surpass his own left him bitter and resentful.
Now that Alfonso was stepping in, he finally felt a bit relieved.
Alfonso wasn’t just any ordinary opponent; his strength was formidable.
Even the Holy Son admitted that defeating Alfonso wouldn’t be easy.
