Faced with Li Fengcheng's sudden defiance, everyone was momentarily stunned.
How could Li Fengcheng, who had been so submissive moments ago, suddenly change his tune?
Had Yinlong Daoist resurrected?
Everyone's gaze instinctively shifted to the pool of blood on the ground.
As time passed, most of the blood had already seeped into the ground, leaving only reddish-brown stains.
Let alone Yinlong Daoist resurrecting, even any trace of Yinlong Daoist's existence was nowhere to be found!
Since Yinlong Daoist hadn't resurrected, why had Li Fengcheng suddenly become so assertive?
Did Li Fengcheng have hidden reinforcements?
Everyone was perplexed.
Meanwhile, the camouflaged figures approaching from the mountain entrance grew closer and clearer.
Only then did everyone finally realize the source of Li Fengcheng's confidence!
"Are these... mercenaries?"
"These people are exuding killing intent, and they are all armed. They mean business! It seems Li Sheng had anticipated this situation and made arrangements beforehand!"
"Listen! That's the sound of helicopters! Good heavens, Li Sheng not only arranged for mercenaries but also deployed helicopters! More than one!"
"Amazing, truly amazing! Li Sheng's actions are a masterful turn of events, instantly regaining control of the situation!"
Everyone was shocked and repeatedly exclaimed.
Just moments ago, they were fawning over Ying Chen with reverence and awe. Now that the situation had reversed, they immediately shifted their allegiance, showering Li Fengcheng with praise.
After all, no matter how formidable Ying Chen was, he couldn't withstand bullets, nor could he withstand the machine guns mounted on the helicopters.
Once those things unleashed their full firepower, even Iron Man would be shredded like a sieve, let alone Ying Chen!
Moreover, judging by the indistinct silhouettes of the helicopters, their bellies were clearly carrying heavy ordnance!
At least something on the level of anti-tank missiles!
Could something capable of blowing up tanks fail to deal with a mere human?
It was impossible!
Therefore, everyone naturally assumed that Li Fengcheng had this battle in the bag.
"Huh? Helicopters?" Li Fengcheng was also taken aback upon hearing the sound of helicopters.
Because he didn't recall deploying any helicopters in his memory.
However, he soon broke into a smile: "No wonder these guys haven't made any moves since receiving my operational orders. So that's what they were doing! I must say, they truly are professional mercenaries, with excellent combat intuition! They realized even before engaging that they needed to deploy heavy toys like helicopters to deal with Ying Chen, foreseeing the outcome. Excellent work, you'll be rewarded!"
Li Fengcheng's confidence surged once more.
What began as mere verbal assertiveness now radiated from his entire being.
His posture and gaze were like a condescending deity looking down upon all beings, dismissively surveying Ying Chen.
"Mr. Ying, oh no, I should call you Ying Xian."
"I'd like to ask Ying Xian, you're so powerful, they call you an immortal, how many helicopters can you withstand?"
Li Fengcheng asked smugly.
Ying Chen, however, remained silent, merely displaying a peculiar expression.
Seeing Ying Chen's expression, Li Fengcheng became even more triumphant.
It was like eating ice cream on a sweltering summer day, a feeling of utter coolness and exhilaration!
"Tsk tsk, look at your expression. Are you mourning for yourself, or pitying yourself?"
"But whether you are mourning or pitying, before we get to that, let's discuss the matter of one hundred billion!"
"One hundred billion, not a single cent can be shortchanged. However..."
Li Fengcheng paused deliberately, then a teasing expression spread across his face.
"It's not that I'll give it to you, but that you'll give it to me!"
"I'll give you thirty seconds to consider, answer me once you've thought it through."
After speaking, Li Fengcheng clasped his hands behind his back, leisurely awaiting Ying Chen's reply.
Ying Chen's peculiar expression persisted, as if he were still lost in deep mourning and pity, unable to extricate himself.
Seeing Ying Chen's expression, everyone sighed inwardly.
Alas, Ying Chen had a superior position and was just one step away from victory.
Who would have thought that Li Fengcheng, that sly old fox, would play a trump card!
In fact, Ying Chen had already performed exceptionally well, exceeding everyone's expectations.
It wasn't that Ying Chen lacked capability, but that the enemy was too cunning!
At this point, someone spoke up, attempting to persuade Ying Chen: "Ying Xian (Sir)... Sir, there's a saying that a wise man knows when to adapt. In this situation, I believe you should humble yourself and yield! Given the strength you've displayed today, if you can just overcome this hurdle, I'm sure you'll find that a step back opens up a wider sky. There's no need to risk your life for the sake of so-called dignity and pride!"
Ying Chen glanced at the persuader and said indifferently, "Although your brain is a bit dull, you're not a bad person. Based on your words, I'll be lenient with you later."
"..." Hearing Ying Chen's words, the persuader's mouth twitched involuntarily.
At this critical juncture, was Ying Chen still trying to be a tough guy?
Never mind, good advice is hard to give to a damned soul. He had done his best; whether Ying Chen listened or not was no longer his concern.
The person shook his head and withdrew.
The others, meanwhile, let out derisive laughter.
They all looked at Ying Chen with the gaze one reserves for circus clowns, clearly anticipating his humiliation.
The more arrogantly Ying Chen acted now, the faster he would grovel later!
Click, click... m..oΓg
Click, click...
The mercenaries in camouflage soon arrived before them.
Around the mountain peak, three helicopters also appeared, hovering in the vicinity.
Each helicopter had anti-tank missiles mounted beneath its belly.
With just the press of a button, not only the people present but the entire Nine Dragon Mountain peak would cease to exist, turning into dust.
Therefore, this was a battle that was absolutely sealed.
This was a battle that could absolutely not be turned around!
Neither the people present nor Li Fengcheng could fathom how Ying Chen could possibly salvage the situation!
There was simply no solution!
Yet, to everyone's astonishment, Ying Chen remained unfazed in the face of this certain death scenario.
Shouldn't Ying Chen be immediately kneeling on the ground, desperately begging Li Fengcheng for mercy right now?
"Very good."
"It seems you won't shed tears until you see the coffin! Then I shall oblige you!"
"Guards! Take him down!"
Li Fengcheng waved his hand, ordering the camouflaged mercenaries.
The camouflaged mercenaries obeyed without question, immediately rushing towards the two individuals.
However, the next second, everyone was dumbfounded.
The camouflaged mercenaries seemed to be suffering from face blindness, for instead of targeting Ying Chen, they turned their attention to Li Fengcheng and took him into custody!
Li Fengcheng was furious: "Are you imbeciles? Can't you tell who the enemy is?"
"Release me at once! Believe it or not, I won't pay your mercenary fees!"
Despite Li Fengcheng's threats, the camouflaged mercenaries remained unmoved.
As if they didn't care about the hefty mercenary fees.
This further bewildered everyone.
In this day and age, mercenaries no longer cared about money?
Wasn't that as ridiculous as a prostitute suddenly talking about love?
"Li Sheng, I think you've got it backward! Is there any possibility that the imbeciles aren't them, but you?"
At this moment, Ming Ju, who had remained silent, stepped out from the crowd and spoke to Li Fengcheng.
Li Fengcheng stared at Ming Ju, dumbfounded, processing his words.
A moment later, he was struck as if by lightning, frozen on the spot!
