ACSP:Chapter 68: Famous After One Battle!
Although City Lord Li Hongfei was a level 86 Jonin Contractor.
But when facing the Lei brothers, who were far higher in level and were also Kage-level Contractors.
That powerful sense of oppression from a superior made him break out in a cold sweat, and he almost fell back into his seat.
Only now did City Lord Li Hongfei realize how naive his previous thoughts were.
The Lei brothers were not here specifically to discuss an alliance with him.
Instead, they wanted to annex them and use them to deal with that Evil God Organization.
Sure enough.
In the face of absolute interests.
Weakness is the original sin.
One can only be slaughtered by others.
Seeing City Lord Li Hongfei being pressured by the Lei brothers to the point where he didn't even dare to breathe, Li Dala immediately leaned into Jiang Chen's ear and muttered in a low voice: "See, I didn't lie to you, right? The Lei brothers have a very explosive temper. If those two start acting tough, even our boss has to walk around them. I think your City Lord is going to suffer a setback this time."
Jiang Chen didn't speak, just quietly watched the Lei brothers.
The Contractors of the Third Raikage and Fourth Raikage appearing at the same time, and they were brothers who shared a telepathic connection—this level of opponent, let alone City Lord Li Hongfei.
Even he would have to take them seriously.
But then again.
If such people could be recruited under his command.
They would certainly be two capable and fierce generals.
"Tch, you're really boring. Forget it, I'll just play by myself. Never mind you..."
Seeing that Jiang Chen ignored him, Li Dala could only take out his phone and fiddle with it by himself.
He came to Jinghai City just to go through the motions on behalf of Puppet City and to assist the Lei brothers in setting up traps in Jinghai City in advance.
As for expressing opinions or anything like that.
With the Lei brothers here, it wasn't his place to make decisions, so it was better to scroll through some interesting videos to relieve boredom.
He remembered that last time, some guy developed a 'high-end playstyle' using Solid Clones and the Transformation Technique.
'One person, multiple plays + various role-playing', very interesting.
The guy even once used the Transformation Technique to turn himself into a bar of soap and placed it in the women's bathhouse.
That scene was just perverted to the extreme!
"Huh?"
Just then, Li Dala suddenly saw a new real-time post with a high click-through rate appear on the trending page.
——[Shocking! A suspected Super-Kage Level Contractor has appeared in Jinghai City, single-handedly taking on a rampaging Three-Tails Jinchuriki, tanking a Tailed Beast Ball with an S-rank skill, the battle video is explosive! (Pay to watch the battle video)]
The copy for this post was filled with a heavy sense of chuunibyou.
The video was paid.
But the click-through rate was surprisingly high.
Not long after it was posted, over ten thousand people had already watched it.
The comments below the post were even more explosive!
[Holy crap~! Is this video AI-generated? That guy took on the Three-Tails single-handedly without even merging with a Contracted Character?]
[There are only two possibilities for him not merging with a Contracted Character: either his level is not yet 50, or he no longer needs to merge with a Contracted Character to deal with Tailed Beasts.]
[I know this person; he is our Jinghai City's max-level talent, named Jiang Chen!]
[Jiang Chen? Isn't he that fool who contracted two Genin? Could it be that he contracted a hidden character?]
[It must be, otherwise how could he have an S-rank skill? You have to know, learning S-rank skills has level restrictions; only S-rank skills unlocked from Contracted Characters can be used directly.]
[I think the Sealing Technique he used at the end is also not simple; it can actually seal a Tailed Beast!]
[Wait a minute, I remember this Jiang Chen is a newcomer who completed the contract ceremony this year; his current level is at most 20-something, right? To be able to single-handedly take on a rampaging Three-Tails at level 20-something, damn it, this guy might really have contracted a Super-Kage Level hidden character!]
"Damn, can this be real?"
Looking at the comments below the post, Li Dala was stunned.
Without saying a word, he immediately paid to open the video.
The video recorded the scene of Jiang Chen fighting the Three-Tails by the sea earlier.
The more Li Dala watched, the more shocked he became.
He never dreamed that.
Jiang Chen was actually able to solo a Tailed Beast that had completely gone berserk and lost control.
And in the end, he even resealed that Tailed Beast back into the Jinchuriki's body.
This is just too mind-blowing.
No wonder the click-through rate for this post is so high, and the popularity is rising so fast!
...
"Alright, City Lord Li, this matter is settled. You alone cannot change anything. Cooperating with us is the only way out for Jinghai City right now. Otherwise, once we leave, how will you resist that Evil God Organization?"
"Exactly. What you need to do now is immediately bring out the defense map of Jinghai City so that we can better set up traps in Jinghai City!"
Just as Li Dala was watching the video on his phone with great interest.
The brothers Lei Li and Lei Hong were already pressing City Lord Li Hongfei step by step, starting to demand the defense map of Jinghai City from him.
Although City Lord Li Hongfei was extremely reluctant.
He had to admit the situation the brothers Lei Li and Lei Hong described was true.
Jinghai City's current situation had indeed reached a desperate point.
Only by cooperating with the Thunder God Temple could they have a glimmer of hope for survival.
Otherwise, the city would fall and the people would perish.
"Is there really no other better way?"
City Lord Li Hongfei clenched his fists, his expression looking terrible to the extreme.
To be honest, if he had a choice, he would absolutely never turn Jinghai City into a battlefield.
But the problem is.
He has no choice now.
"This is the method with the least amount of loss. Time is limited, you had better make a decision quickly."
Seeing City Lord Li Hongfei still hesitating, Lei Li immediately urged him again.
Lei Hong also chimed in from the side in a deep voice: "My big brother is right. As long as the green mountains remain, one need not worry about firewood. If the city is destroyed, it can be rebuilt, but if people die, then everything is gone."
"Fine, alright..."
City Lord Li Hongfei knew he couldn't hide from this, so he had to choose to compromise.
However, just as he was preparing to hand over the defense map of Jinghai City.
Jiang Chen, who was sitting behind him, suddenly stood up: "Your Thunder God Temple truly has good methods, actually being able to come up with such a way to kill two birds with one stone."
These words were naturally directed at the brothers Lei Li and Lei Hong.
Upon hearing this, Lei Li immediately frowned and looked over: "Kid Jiang, I know your talent is not bad, but you haven't grown up yet, so you should weigh your words carefully."
Jiang Chen raised his head and glanced at the brothers Lei Li and Lei Hong with an indifferent gaze.
Only then did he slowly speak: "I see that you two didn't come to our Jinghai City for an alliance, but rather to use our hands to deal with that Evil God Organization, and then annex the remaining people, thereby increasing the power of your Thunder God Temple, right?"
Once these words were spoken, the atmosphere on the scene instantly became incomparably heavy.
City Lord Li Hongfei was directly startled.
He didn't expect Jiang Chen to dare to speak such tough words to the brothers Lei Li and Lei Hong!
