Chapter 47: Jicheng Base Was Robbed
After Shi Xuan left, Jicheng Base also gradually stepped out of the shadow of the sixth-level superpowers.
After all, they have already promised to take all the responsibilities, so there is no need for them to be afraid anymore.
But what no one expected was that the legendary Emperor Ming would be so unruly and ruthlessly attack the Jicheng base even though Shi Xuan had already promised to take responsibility.
This day is the seventh day after Shi Xuan left Jicheng base;
Suddenly, a figure in black robes came directly to Jicheng base, and then holding a lightsaber that sealed the power of the sixth level, he slashed the King of Flame who came to stop him with one sword.
After he slashed the Flame King, everyone recognized at a glance that the black-robed man was the Poison King, the fifth-level superpower who had just announced his submission to Emperor Ming not long ago.
Then the Poison King slashed the Flame Queen and did not stop. Instead, he waved his hand and summoned a large piece of strange black rain, which directly covered the entire Jicheng base.
And this black rain is exactly Poison King's superpower, the rain of plague.
The rain of plague is extremely vicious. As long as it is contaminated with a drop of rainwater, the plague will enter the body. If there is no antidote within seven days, the whole body will fester and die.
"Tell the Lord of Panlong Mountain that the land of Jicheng is just the beginning. If he wants the antidote, he must come to Mingcheng Base alone within seven days without any equipment to plead guilty. Otherwise, not only the people in Jicheng Base will die, but he will also hide in Panlong Mountain." Longshan’s parents will also be subject to endless pursuit and revenge.”
After contaminating the entire Jicheng base with the rain of plague, the Poison King left such harsh words before turning around and walking away.
There is no doubt that this attack by the Poison King is revenge designed by Emperor Ming.
He wanted to use the nearly 10,000 survivors at the Jicheng base as hostages, forcing Shi Xuan to put down all resistance and go to Mingcheng to die alone.
He even added threats to his parents later to ensure that Shi Xuan would commit the crime.
Despicable, mean-spirited
This was the first reaction in the hearts of everyone in the Jicheng base after being attacked by the Poison King.
Obviously, no one expected that a dignified sixth-level superpower would use such a despicable method as threatening hostages.
Originally, everyone, even Shi Xuan, subconsciously believed that as the first hero in the entire eastern region to break through the sixth level, even if Emperor Ming wanted to take revenge, he would choose the most direct method and come to Panlong Mountain in person to follow Shi Xuan. Xuanzhen fights with real swords and guns.
But the reality is that the other party did not come to Panlong Mountain at all. Instead, he sent a subordinate to threaten Shi Xuan with poison and go to him to plead guilty.
There is no doubt that this method is definitely safer for Emperor Ming.
Because in this way, Emperor Ming would not have to take risks to attack the enemy's base camp, and could even lead the enemy to his home base.
And now that we have the home field advantage, we can't just ravage the other side as much as we want.
This is Emperor Ming's plan.
From a realistic perspective, this is indeed the best way to fight when the enemy's true combat power is unknown.
But from a sensory perspective, Emperor Ming's approach lacked the demeanor of a strong man.
"Ahem, Emperor Ming is so despicable! Shi Xuan has already admitted that he killed both kings of Ming City. Why did Emperor Ming still attack the Jicheng base? And it was such a despicable method of poisoning!"
In the Jicheng base, Lin Han, whose face was purple, couldn't help coughing violently and cursed in a low voice with a face full of reluctance.
“Oh, it hurts so much. My head hurts so much.”
While Lin Han was complaining, there were countless survivors with the same bruised faces lying not far away.
They are all people who have been poisoned by the Poison King.
Although the Poison King only used one move of poisonous rain that day, the area covered was surprisingly large, so that nearly 80% of the survivors in the entire Jicheng base, that is, more than 8,000 people, were affected by the poisonous rain.
In other words, if Shi Xuan does not go to Mingcheng Base to plead guilty within seven days, then the more than 8,000 people in Jicheng Base will all rot and die.
"Yan, Brother Yan, cough, go and talk to the Lord of Panlong Mountain. We are really about to die. Please save us."
Under the threat of death, these survivors did not care about their dignity, and petitioned King Yan to quickly go to Shi Xuan for help.
"no!"
But before everyone could finish speaking, they were directly interrupted by King Yan.
"Ahem."
I saw King Yan sitting in front of everyone at this moment, his face was also blue and purple, and he was coughing from time to time. It was obvious that he was also poisoned by the Poison King.
But he resolutely rejected everyone's suggestions and refused to go to Shi Xuan at all.
"What happened this time is obviously Emperor Ming's conspiracy! He just wants to use us to threaten Brother Shi Xuan into surrender! If Brother Shi Xuan really takes nothing with him and goes to the Ming City base alone, it will definitely be a disaster! I can't put my friends in danger for my own safety!"
King Yan is also the leader of the party, so he naturally has a thorough understanding of the current situation.
He knew very well that going alone to apologize was just a euphemism.
Emperor Ming's real purpose was to ask Shi Xuan to exchange his life for the antidote for everyone in the Jicheng base.
In this case, with Yan Wang's character, it was naturally impossible to go to Shi Xuan and push him into the fire pit with his own hands.
"Brother Yan"
Lin Han knew Yan Wang's character, so when he heard the other party's rejection, he didn't show much surprise, but just shook his head helplessly.
But others, under the threat of death, shouted out of their wits.
"Boss, you value friendship and loyalty, and we understand that you are willing to sacrifice your life for your friends! But can you consider us? We didn't do anything, but we were poisoned by the Poison King. You can't bear to see Shi Xuan die, but can you bear to see us being poisoned to death?"
There was an inexplicable resentment in the eyes of many survivors looking at King Yan.
Because in their opinion, the reason why the two kings of Mingcheng targeted the Jicheng base in the beginning was because King Yan had an old grudge with them.
So now that Emperor Ming sent the Poison King to retaliate because the two kings of Mingcheng were killed, it was all caused by King Yan.
And now that they were poisoned, King Yan refused to ask for help, which made them feel resentful.
"You"
King Yan was not stupid, and he could naturally see the resentment in everyone's eyes at this moment.
It's just that his personality was like this. Even if everyone's eyes were full of resentment, King Yan really couldn't do anything to betray his friends.
So in the face of everyone's requests, King Yan could only be speechless for a while, not knowing how to respond.
"Look, who is that? The Lord of Panlong Mountain is here!"
However, just as King Yan was struggling with himself and didn't know how to deal with the situation, a survivor not far away suddenly shouted.
Immediately, King Yan and others subconsciously looked up and saw a figure in white slowly walking towards them from a distance.
And that figure, if it wasn't Shi Xuan, who else could it be!
