ACSP: Chapter 170: Kill Them All, Leave No One Alive!
Song She licked his lips.
"Could that Ronan guy already be dead? If I'd known, I would've followed him earlier."
Li Dala's mouth twitched as a thought struck him.
"Are you looking for more Edo Tensei materials again?"
Song She shrugged lightly.
"I'm not short on materials. I just hate wasting them. A Kage-level Contractor like Ronan dying so easily… that would be a real loss."
"Enough of your nonsense."
Lei Li cut in sharply, stopping the exchange.
His expression turned serious.
"Ronan has the Flying Thunder God Technique. Even if the assassination failed, Ling Kai wouldn't be able to keep him there. At worst, he might just be somewhere with a bad signal, which is why the communication isn't getting through."
The others nodded in agreement.
A Kage-level Contractor like Ronan, especially one with the [Flying Thunder God Technique], was practically impossible to kill.
Even if Ling Kai managed to survive the encounter, Ronan would still be able to retreat at any moment without injury.
And more importantly…
Before setting out, Ronan had left a Flying Raijin kunai with Jiang Chen.
If he truly encountered an unbeatable enemy, one activation of the [Flying Thunder God Technique] would be enough to return instantly.
No one could stop him.
The absolute advantage of Space-Time skills—isn't it exactly this kind of heaven-defying mobility?
"—Swoosh!"
However.
Just at the moment Lei Li's voice fell,
a figure covered in blood suddenly appeared beside Jiang Chen, then stumbled and knelt directly onto the ground.
"Ronan?"
Jiang Chen's expression changed, and he quickly went up to support him.
Everyone noticed Ronan's severed left arm, and their faces were filled with expressions of disbelief.
Lei Li frowned.
"Ronan, what are these injuries on you? Don't tell me Ling Kai did this?"
"It wasn't him."
Ronan shook his head, his face dark.
"I was ambushed by someone from East Island."
The moment those words fell, the entire group froze.
Li Dala stared at him in disbelief.
"Ronan… are you sure you didn't see wrong? This is Great Xia territory. How could there be East Island people here?"
He clearly found the claim absurd.
After all, since the Blue Star continental plates shifted, the world had been completely reshaped.
Many regions within Great Xia were still disconnected from one another, let alone foreign nations.
And East Island…
Separated by a vast ocean.
No one even knew whether that ocean itself had changed due to the plate shifts.
Modern technology had also collapsed. Aside from basic communication networks, almost all advanced systems had failed.
Warships and cruise ships were now nothing more than oversized wooden boats.
Without electronic navigation or satellite guidance…
How could anyone possibly cross that ocean and reach Great Xia?
Did they drift across on sheer luck?
Lei Li narrowed his eyes, but before anyone could continue speculating, a thought suddenly surfaced in his mind.
If East Island truly had infiltrated this far…
Then this situation was far more complicated than they imagined.
And if it involved Jiang Chen, the implications became even more unpredictable.
"How could I possibly see such a thing wrong..."
Seeing that Li Dala and the others had doubts about his words, Ronan immediately gave a brief account of the situation he had encountered earlier.
After learning that Jinghai City had now fallen and that a large number of Dongdao Contractors were landing on the coastline,
Lei Li and the others' expressions finally darkened.
Judging from the situation Ronan revealed at this moment,
if a large number of Dongdao Contractors really appeared around Jinghai City,
then,
The East Island side had clearly mastered a hidden route leading directly into Great Xia territory.
This discovery alone was enough to shake everyone's understanding of the current situation.
Once such a route was fully established, it would almost certainly push Contractors from both nations into a state of open warfare.
As everyone knew, Great Xia and East Island had long been sworn rivals.
And now, with the arrival of the Dimensional Era, all international laws and restrictions had effectively collapsed.
If Contractors from both sides truly went to war…
It would inevitably be a fight to the death.
"Boss…"
Ronan suddenly turned his gaze toward Jiang Chen.
"Do you know a girl named Li Yanran?"
Jiang Chen frowned slightly.
"I know her."
A flicker of light passed through Ronan's eyes.
"That Li Yanran, along with several of her companions, has been captured by East Island Contractors."
He paused for a moment before continuing.
"When I escaped using the Flying Thunder God Technique, I overheard their leader say something."
His tone turned heavier.
"If you want to save them… go to the Jinghai City Lord's Mansion immediately."
A cold silence fell for a moment.
"And if you're late…"
Ronan's voice lowered.
"You'll lose them forever."
Hearing this, Li Dala couldn't sit still. "Damn it, those East Islanders are really tired of living. Boss, let's go kill them right now. Those bastards aren't even human. If we're late, your friends might..."
Li Dala didn't finish his sentence.
But everyone else present could already imagine the fate of Jiang Chen's friends.
Especially the girls; falling into the hands of those beasts meant they would surely suffer inhumane torture.
Lei Li said angrily, "Saving them cannot be delayed. Based on past experience, if East Island has occupied Jinghai City, then the city might have already turned into a living hell. No one will be spared."
Everyone's expression turned somber upon hearing this.
The numerous crimes East Island once committed within the Great Xia Kingdom were the most painful memories in the heart of every Great Xia person.
That dark history was written in blood and tears.
Even though a hundred years had passed, it remained vivid and etched into their souls.
No Great Xia person would choose to forget.
Furthermore, no Great Xia person dared to forget.
Because they had no right to forgive those beasts on behalf of their ancestors.
"Ronan, can you still use your Flying Thunder God Technique?"
Jiang Chen turned to look at Ronan and asked.
"I can."
Ronan nodded with a heavy expression, but quickly added, "However, my current Chakra only allows me to take one person for a long-range teleportation."
"It's fine, leave the others to me."
After Jiang Chen finished speaking, he looked at the people currently by his side.
Lei Li, Yang Ke, Li Dala, Song She, Cai Kun, and the Wood Release Contractor he had just recruited, He Gen.
Jiang Chen casually tossed the Flying Raijin kunai that Ronan had previously left on him toward Lei Li.
"Later, I'll use the Heavenly Transfer Technique to send you to Jinghai first. Ronan will then use the Flying Thunder God Technique to bring me over. We'll rendezvous there."
"What? Just the few of us?"
Li Dala swallowed hard.
"Boss… since those East Islanders dared to have Ronan deliver a message to you, they must've already set a trap in Jinghai. Isn't it too dangerous to go in such a small group?"
Cai Kun quickly added,
"Should I head back to the South District and call some fans to back us up?"
Lei Li, however, shook his head.
"No need. We're only going to rescue people. Bringing too many would only make things harder."
Jiang Chen gave a faint smile.
"Who told you I was going there to rescue anyone?"
The group froze.
They exchanged uncertain glances, confusion written across their faces.
If not to rescue people…
Then what exactly were they going to Jinghai City for?
To negotiate peace with those East Island Contractors?
Before anyone could guess further, Jiang Chen's voice rang out again, calm but chilling.
"This trip to Jinghai City has only one objective."
His gaze turned cold.
"To wipe out every single East Island Contractor there. Not a single one will leave alive."
