Abyss Summoner

Chapter 555 - 542: United Assault

North side, Bear Village.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. Shi Xiong’s subordinates, those who can be considered key figures, have gathered together. In addition, the entire force is stirred, and aside from the professionals, warriors stand to the side, holding weapons, with solemn expressions.

Although none of them understand what has happened, it is said that the second-in-command of the camp, Wang Duan, has been assassinated. This news is undoubtedly like a bomb, shocking everyone.

Could it be...

War is about to start?

Xiamen has not been without trials; during the early period, they experienced harassment from insects and Dimensional Creatures.

Blood flowed like rivers, corpses were scattered everywhere.

However, this was like a wave sifting through sand; the sand was swept away, and what remained had at least some faint glimmer of value.

Not only Shi Xiong’s men but there are also two pivotal figures in the seats above, Lin Tianxiu and Chen Ligang, who even though it is nearly dawn, accepted Shi Xiong’s invitation because a major storm just occurred in Xiamen.

Li Hongyi is dead.

Currently, the entire force has been taken over by Yan Xiu, a relatively obscure figure. Although Yan Xiu is also a Silver Peak, he pales in comparison to such an existence as the Double-headed Demon.

Yan Xiu was considered one of Li Hongyi’s trusted aides but was not someone cultivated with utmost importance. Previously, the person who could rival the Double-headed Demon was a formidable figure who mastered Transformation Skill and could perform partial multiplication or super multiplication skills of his limbs or body during combat.

This individual was also part of the meeting but with boundless prospects, even called one of Xiamen’s Four Little Dragons, died without releasing even the most basic moves, killed by an Inferior Demon who snapped his neck.

One can’t help but be astonished that Chen Feng came to Xiamen for less than twelve hours yet caused such a disturbance, not only killing one of the big heads, Li Hongyi but also killing two very promising rising stars.

At the top of the hall.

Shi Xiong sat on his chair, his face somber, watching Chen Ligang and Lin Tianxiu, and said, "For all this time, the five divides in Xiamen, although there was friction, the rules kept us in check, so nothing major broke out. But now, there was an accident on Li Hongyi’s front. What’s even laughable is, ’When the mountain lacks tigers, monkeys call themselves Great King.’ Let me state my position first!"

Looking around, Shi Xiong bit his teeth and said: "We unite, and once we get rid of Yan Xiu, Li Hongyi’s share of the land can be entirely monopolized!"

The surrounding crowd buzzed with discussions.

Shi Xiong’s upper echelons never expected the situation to escalate to such an extent.

Chen Ligang raised his head, a gleam like that of a wild wolf flickered in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Yan Xiu is just a minor figure, a hand could crush him, but behind him stands that peculiar person, not someone who can be easily dealt with."

Lin Tianxiu closed his eyes and said with a leisurely tone: "What did the strange person say again? Killed Li Hongyi in revenge for his sister. But according to some scouts’ reports, those people only arrived at Xiamen today, considered a foreign force. How could such a terrifying backing come for a mere slave girl? I think... this Yan Xiu harbors a wolf-like ambition and has traits of betrayal against his master!"

This explanation made Shi Xiong and Chen Ligang furrow their brows. They weren’t children, how could they choose to believe Chen Feng just based on his words? Compared to the revenge he claimed, they leaned more towards Lin Tianxiu’s judgment.

Their spearhead points directly at Yan Xiu; for them, all this is a situation where Yan Xiu aims for a high position by colluding with outsiders and betraying his master for honor!

Logically speaking, with Li Hongyi’s death, the force would be leaderless. Relying solely on Yan Xiu’s mild prestige can’t make everyone submit, and in such times, it is the best opportunity to carve up the opponent.

However...

The appearance of Chen Feng was like a lingering shadow, hovering over everyone’s minds.

This person who didn’t make a move but let a Golden Tier strongman kneel in greeting, ultimately compelled Shi Xiong to kill him, thereby fulfilling the vengeance of ’a life for a life.’ This mysteriousness leaves these few giants bewildered, not daring to act rashly.

What kind of person is he?

The giants do not know; what adds more intrigue is that a powerhouse comparable to Shi Xiong just watched as they fell into the enemy’s hands. Such boldness is beyond ordinary imagination.

Even if adhering to the principle of ’a life for a life.’

But Silver Peak and Golden Tier are not on the same level at all; it’s practically a strategy of ’inflict 800 damage upon the enemy while causing 1000 to oneself.’

In such matters, if put on Shi Xiong and others, even at the risk of serious injury, they would save the other party, impossible to comprehend, it’s simply an unsolvable problem.

In the apocalypse, strength is everything.

Who on earth would despise having too much wealth? And squander it mindlessly, no, this isn’t merely squandering, it’s throwing it into a furnace to burn it.

Of course, they wouldn’t think that the Void Ghost was just a creature summoned by Chen Feng, its power was terrifying, but it couldn’t exist for long.

As for life and death.

Chen Feng didn’t care much; for him, the value of a Summoned Beast is determined by how much benefit it can bring to him. In the previous situation, the Void Ghost in its life’s final moments forced Shi Xiong to reveal all his cards; its death was undoubtedly valuable.

If not for this, Shi Xiong might have deceived the entirety of Xiamen; a prowess adept at fire attacks, fond of assassinating from afar, to find he excels surprisingly at melee combat.

Then, Shi Xiong took the lead: "This is the world we have fought hard to establish, as the saying goes, ’a strong dragon cannot suppress a ground snake.’ Rather than waiting for Yan Xiu to grow and stabilize his forces, it’s better to take initiative. I called you two today to ask, what are your ideas?"

"I agree."

As soon as Shi Xiong finished speaking, Lin Tianxiu immediately responded.

Everyone was shocked, knowing that Lin Tianxiu is usually shrewd and calculating, always having foresight in actions; how could he agree so easily this time?

Lin Tianxiu opened his eyes, despite his age, they were vibrant as if filled with countless wisdom, and he said: "Those who come are ill, and those who are ill come not. Li Hongyi is dead, but the land and people are Xiamen’s. Even if there were to be a struggle, it should be within our own doors. Allowing outsiders to take it, what would that be?"

"Yan Xiu is eating inside and outside, colluding with outsiders to betray his master. This is a capital offense. Let’s devise a plan, even if the strange person has decent power, he will be doomed if we all attack together!"

"I agree."

Chen Ligang thought for a moment, then expressed his agreement.

This perverse person who enjoys watching live battles is far from coarse as he appears; to emerge in a city of millions, these giant figures are anything but simple.

Even Shi Xiong knows how to hide his cards; would Chen Ligang and Lin Tianxiu be any different?

In reality, Chen Ligang is meticulous, making a choice only after Lin Tianxiu responded, suggesting his roughness is merely a guise, while his nature is one of cautious vigilance, like the sparrow waiting behind.

The apocalypse holds little virtue; regardless of Lin Tianxiu’s righteousness talk, everyone knows this is just a cloak to bolster self-preservation. Chen Feng’s arrival stirs a hint of threat in them, as giants of this city, how would they tolerate letting others threatening their status?

"Fine!"

Shi Xiong’s expression turned cold, flickers of killing intent in his eyes, and he nodded sharply: "I proposed this, as long as we can defeat Yan Xiu’s backing forces, I’m willing to take only two parts, and the remaining eight parts will all go to you!"

First, to deal with Chen Feng, Shi Xiong’s cards are shown, and his limbs have been severed, undoubtedly falling one step behind compared to the other two. After killing Yan Xiu and seizing the land, Shi Xiong aims to stabilize the opposing parties; given time, he will reclaim everything that was divided out!

As for the last person in Xiamen, Eight-face Wolf Girl Su Tan, they didn’t invite her not only because she is a woman but also because she’s maintained a neutral stance, guarding her own small territory. Her land is the smallest, yet her strength cannot be overlooked.

Su Tan harbors little ambition; her force merely holds one-third that of Shi Xiong’s. Attacking her wouldn’t gain many resources, instead inviting hostility, so Su Tan is considered an outlier in Xiamen, living a secluded life, rarely engaging with other forces aside from her survivors.

For this reason, in their discussion, they left Su Tan out, knowing that even with an invitation, based on her nature, she simply wouldn’t participate.
