The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 538 - 238: I Want to Be the King of the Giant Frog Marsh for Two Years_3

They all shut up, anxiously looking at Huazhu, the throbbing of their temples creating a frantic rhythm in the silence.

That’s right! There’s no mistake!

The Goose Immortal is in the front, the Witch is behind, this is Lord Han’s Contracted Spirit Fond Spirits!

So——the White Crow is Lord Han and Lord Han is the White Crow?

He’s not only a holder of the Blood Covenant, possessing the top-tier spirits that others dream of contracting with, but also wields Law-Figure-World, he is a Dark Element slaughtering demon?

He... holds dual positions?

What kind of person is he exactly...?

The guards, who have lost their ability to fight, are lost in a turmoil of thoughts.

To one side, with the aid of ’Thunderbolt Eye Drops’, the Goose Immortal and Fragmented Chicken’s battle rages on energetically.

Mo is not outside, but inside The Darkest Abyss, using his horrible tentacles to randomly seize prey, inviting them to share in the taste of pain.

"Surrender or die."

"Will the king of the Red Frog Country deign to surrender?"

A faint voice, as aloof as ever.

Tang Zheng’s face changes in rapid succession, sometimes flushed with anger, sometimes pale as paper.

He is under the protection of a precious artifact, so he’s safe for the time being.

However, his Chief Offerings and the hard-to-hire Yin Xin, cannot form an effective union to counterattack, let alone kill the enemy.

There does not seem to be any hope for him - that’s the most helpless and desperate part.

"What do you want?"

"As long as it’s a price I can bear, everything is negotiable."

"I can?" Ye Hanjun sighed, "Are you aware of your current situation?"

"Fallen leaves, Red Heart, Red Moon, these three powerful individuals are your only confidence, am I right?"

"Unfortunately, they won’t be able to defeat me, hence they can only be consumed by me."

"As long as I wish, with a little bit of time, none of you will be able to escape."

"The only difference is who dies first and who dies last."

Fallen leaves kept his eyes closed, trying his best to distinguish the location of the voice when Ye Hanjun spoke again:

"The more critical the situation a Rank C ’Hunter’ faces, and the heavier the shadow of death, the greater the ability he can unleash."

"Are you waiting for the Fragmented Chicken to get more seriously injured, for the Metal Giraffe to get more tired, then counter-attack, putting me in a situation of life and death within an instant?"

Fallen Leaves opened his eyes, he couldn’t hide his shock anymore, his voice raspy:

"That’s impossible, I have never explained my abilities to any living person, the only ones that know are all dead, how did you know such a secret?!"

In the moment of deathly silence, Fallen Leaves went over all the enemies he encountered in his lifetime, vainly trying to find any surviving ones.

One sentence from Ye Hanjun shattered his train of thoughts:

"It’s simple, the more injuries the Fragmented Chicken sustains, the more dangerous I feel."

"You also have the ability ’Mark’, but unfortunately, I am not injured, so your abilities cannot lock onto me."

"That’s it?" Fallen Leaves laughed, "Based on observation and intuition, you were able to discern my abilities?"

"I’ve lived for a hundred and fifty years, killed a thousand three hundred and twenty-three people, you are the first one that makes me so cautious, so wary..."

"So, do you want to try ’Counterattack Storm’?"

Ye Hanjun interrupted him, speaking with an ordinary tone:

"The moment you make a move, I will switch places with the Fierce Bear."

"Your ability will only be able to kill it, and cause Red Heart to suffer backlash."

"If I remember correctly, the explosive bear is easily agitated and burns easily. As long as it sees its master seriously injured, then when it goes berserk... it will definitely self-detonate."

The sharp murderous intent cultivated by the Fallen Leaves slowly sinks into the abyss.

In the darkness, not only did he become silent, but Red Heart, accompanying him, also turned silent.

Such a calculation leads to only one result.

The explosive bear which initiates the ultimate self-explosion could at least kill half the people and beasts here - blasting them into ashes, completely obliterated.

And the individual most likely to survive, will still be this demon.

"Just say what you want, I agree to everything."

This time, it was Tang Zheng who sighed.

He had aged even more, his voice full of exhaustion, the ambition of his early years, was deeply buried in the bleak and solitary darkness, as illusory as a mirage.

"I want to be the king of the Giant Frog Marsh for two years."

"If you are willing to submit with your Red Frog Country, I can spare your people from disaster and your beasts from suffering."

"What?!"

Tang Zheng was dumbfounded, for the first time doubting his own hearing.

"You want to be king, to unify the Giant Frog Marsh?"

"But why just for two years? What can you accomplish in such a short time...?"

Ye Hanjun’s voice turned slightly colder:

"You just need to answer me, are you willing... or not willing."

"If you aren’t willing, then I would have no choice but to kill all of you and sort it out myself."

"If you are willing, after two years, I will select a new just king, and bestow an unprecedented honor upon the Giant Frog Marsh that exceeds the prosperity during Emperor Tang’s reign; it’s as simple as turning over my hand."

"..."

Other than the yapping Mo, and a couple of Life Wheel Embryos that had gone mad.

All the others had fallen into a deathly silence.

They all heard Ye Hanjun’s voice, their faces showing disbelief, and absurdity.

But —— no one questioned him.

This calm voice, this steady tone.

Along with the current situation, the injuries, the pain, all these points prove that this man has such an ability, that he might not be just boasting; it might be the truth.

"To reject is to die, to accept is to live, there’s no meaning in this choice."

Tang Zheng revealed a bitter smile, the wrinkles of old age radiating from the corners of his eyes.

"The significance lies in whether you’re willing to let me trample on your dignity to survive."

"To be honest, I don’t care about your life or death, also don’t care about whether you hide grudges in your future, gathering forces secretly for revenge."

"In the face of the ultimate and distant things, these actions, are pale and powerless."

"On the contrary, those who understand the times are great men, if you can lessen my troubles and let me focus more on the integration of the three countries."

"After accomplishing this, whether it’s prolonging life, or raising one’s rank, I will give you the opportunities you want."

From start to end, Ye Hanjun’s voice was very calm.
