Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
The Centaur Warriors drew their bows and fired in unison.
Even the Trolls, known for their tank-like resilience, couldn't withstand it.
Three Trolls were riddled with arrows and fell dead.
This scene left the lords in the livestream room stunned.
"Is Li Muze's unit really a level 5 rare unit? This combat power is so weak!"
"It's not that Li Muze is too weak, but that Jiang Chen is too strong!!!"
"Such powerful Centaurs! I was just worried for Jiang Chen!"
Li Muze finally realized something was wrong and trembled as he spoke:
"What... what quality are these Centaurs?"
He soon got his answer.
In the blink of an eye, the Centaur Leader had already approached, rearing up and stomping down heavily.
Boom—
Accompanied by the cracking earth, a wave of yellow energy surged forth.
All hero units, including Li Muze's, lost control of their bodies and fell into a daze.
Wei Ming exclaimed, "Oh my god, this is... War Stomp! The signature skill of the Centaur Leader! Jiang Chen actually has an exceptional unit!"
Combat power can be compensated with equipment, levels, or even Hero Command, but skills cannot be faked.
"Jiang Chen hid his cards so well! To think he had such a trump card!"
"I get it now! It must be that rare treasure chest! There's a one in ten thousand chance of getting an exceptional quality item from it."
"A one in ten thousand chance, that's so lucky!"
The battle was already decided.
The Centaur Leader was also formidable in close combat, drawing a massive sword and mercilessly slaughtering the units Li Muze had brought.
[Li Muze's livestream room has been closed.]
The lords were watching with great interest, but Li Muze suddenly closed the livestream.
They were immediately dissatisfied and protested in the regional channel.
"Li Muze, why did you close the livestream? I was just getting into it!"
"Open the livestream quickly, or I'll blacklist you forever!"
"Begging for the continuation, I can send gifts!"
Li Muze's vision darkened, wishing he could find a hole to crawl into.
He had planned to stream himself bullying Jiang Chen, but now he was the one being bullied.
Wouldn't it be crazy to continue the livestream?
But hearing about the gifts, Jiang Chen became interested.
Jiang Chen said, "Everyone, don't worry, I'll start a livestream right now and make sure you enjoy it! By the way, who mentioned sending gifts just now?"
Li Muze shouted, "Jiang Chen, leave some room for maneuver, so we can meet again in the future!"
[Jiang Chen has created a livestream room.]
[Li Yang has gifted 10 Spirit Stones.]
[Nie Bai has gifted 20 Spirit Stones.]
Li Muze was so angry he almost spat blood.
What kind of situation is this?
He embarrassed himself, while Jiang Chen made a fortune!!
Li Muze, knowing when to yield, said, "Retreat, everyone retreat back to the territory!"
But when he turned around, he found that four Centaur Leaders had already blocked the teleportation gate, leaving no way out.
"Jiang Chen, stop! I admit defeat this time and promise not to hold you accountable for killing my units. Do you really intend to fight to the death with me?"
"Fight to the death?" Jiang Chen, under the Empress's guard, stepped out of the territory, "You can talk about that if you manage to leave alive!"
Hearing this, Li Muze was shocked:
"Are you crazy? You lowly commoner, do you know what you're saying?"
Jiang Chen waved his hand.
Slash—
Horse One sneered, raising his blade and bringing it down.
Li Muze's arm was severed at the shoulder, blood gushing like a fountain.
"Ah! My arm!"
Li Muze clutched his shoulder and fell to the ground, wailing in pain.
But the physical pain was nothing compared to the fear in his heart.
He wept and pleaded:
"Brother Jiang Chen, we're all brothers from the same town, let's talk this out!"
The livestream room fell silent.
The lords looked at Jiang Chen's calm face, feeling a chill.
A commoner, daring to strike against a second-generation lord?
Was he not afraid of the Li Family of Donghai's retaliation?
Even Wei Ming, Mu Qingshuang, and other second-generation lords and military heirs fell silent.
For a moment, no one dared to speak up.
Soon after, everyone felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.
Ying Yinman commented, "There are too many rules in this world, how many can truly seek vengeance freely? This livestream is thrilling, it deserves a reward!"
[Ying Yinman has gifted 10,000 Spirit Stones.]
Jiang Chen: "..."
How many Spirit Stones does this wealthy patron have?
Faced with Jiang Chen's thunderous methods, Li Muze was truly afraid.
"Big brother, I'm willing to..."
Halfway through his sentence, Jiang Chen interrupted, "Kneel first, then speak."
He was always a vengeful person.
If not for the Spirit Stones, Li Muze would have been dead long ago.
Li Muze dared not defy Jiang Chen's orders.
He knelt obediently, forcing a smile:
"Brother Jiang Chen, I'm willing to pay to redeem myself and the lives of my heroes and units!"
Hearing Li Muze's willingness to cooperate, Jiang Chen was satisfied:
"Let me see how many Spirit Stones you have first."
At this moment, Li Muze was extremely obedient. To avoid any misunderstanding, he directly took a screenshot of his Lord Interface.
Spirit Stones: 328,710.
Seeing this number, Jiang Chen's heart trembled.
328,710 Spirit Stones!!!
These lord families, who knows how much they've exploited from commoners, they're all filthy rich.
Today, I'm going to rob the rich to help the poor. New chapters come out on g.com first.
Though thrilled inside, Jiang Chen maintained a calm exterior.
"Such a small amount of Spirit Stones, just enough to buy your life."
With that, Jiang Chen waved his hand.
Horse One understood, leading the Centaurs to kill Li Muze's orc hero and the remaining Marksmen.
Li Muze's heart bled, but he dared not utter a word, cautiously saying:
"I'll hand over all my Spirit Stones now, hoping Brother Jiang Chen will keep his word and spare my life."
Jiang Chen replied indifferently:
"You're not worth me going back on my word."
[Li Muze has transferred 328,710 Spirit Stones to you.]
Jiang Chen was overjoyed.
He was really worried Li Muze would be stubborn.
Spirit Stones were stored in the Lord's Space, and if Li Muze was unwilling, even killing him wouldn't yield a single Spirit Stone.
328,710 Spirit Stones!
This is amazing!
Li Muze cautiously said, "Then, big brother, I'll be leaving now!"
Jiang Chen waved his hand, signaling Li Muze to get lost.
Li Muze was already crippled, not worth Jiang Chen going back on his word.
Seeing Li Muze step into the teleportation gate, the lords in the livestream room finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Wei Ming said, "Brother Jiang Chen, you're magnanimous, I admire you."
An Chuxia added, "Of course, Jiang Chen is such a warm guy, but it's too easy on that Li Muze kid!"
Lin Mo chuckled, "Heh, Lord Jiang Chen acted so domineering just now, but in the end, he found a way to let Li Muze go."
Jiang Chen laughed:
"Lord Lin Mo is right, I'm just a commoner, how dare I oppose you lord families?"
"Of course, if Lord Lin Mo also wants to visit my territory, it's best to bring enough Spirit Stones for ransom."
Jiang Chen kindly reminded, then without waiting for Lin Mo's reaction, he closed the livestream room.
The Empress stepped forward, somewhat frustrated:
"Lord, why didn't you let me take action when they came to our doorstep?"
Jiang Chen, exasperated, replied:
"Didn't you see the livestream just now? If you took action, who would dare use a Crusade Token against me in the future? How would I extort Spirit Stones then?"
"But..."
The Empress wanted to say more, but Jiang Chen interrupted:
"Don't worry, tomorrow noon the Hero Combat Power Ranking will be announced, then it'll be your time to shine."
"Alright!"
The Empress nodded, then curiously asked:
"Lord, is it worth letting a tiger return to the mountain for a few Spirit Stones?"
Jiang Chen sneered:
"He's no tiger."
How could the Empress know that Jiang Chen needed Spirit Stones to enhance his power?
Never mind 300,000 Spirit Stones — even 3 billion, Jiang Chen could spend them in minutes.
After a windfall, Jiang Chen was in high spirits.
He took out a Spirit Stone.
"Enhancement direction ②, High-Grade Spirit Stone, consuming 1,000 Spirit Stones."
