"Stop! I told you stop! Didn't you hear me?!" Lu Gang was squealing madly like a wild boar stuck in a snare.
As he was screaming for his enemies to stop, the Tyrant Dragon King had at the same time snapped the neck of the last surviving elder like a bamboo toothpick.
The Demonic Beast did not stop after, but was instead now traveling quickly towards Lu Gang.
The Beast Kings were loyal only to Chen Xiaobei. Without his command and even if Lu Gang had 100 or 1,000 with him, the Beast Kings would still have charged forward without hesitation!
"Don't! Get away!!! Don't you ugly creatures come near me!" Lu Gang was so freaked out he nearly peed his pants. In a desperate moment, he yanked the black bag off the hostage's head and shouted, "Chen Xiaobei! I have your woman! If the three of them take another step forward, don't blame me for being cruel!"
"Stop!!!" Chen Xiaobei quickly ordered, staring at the hostage wilfully.
She was beautiful!
Her face was flawless, all but the most pleasant sight for sore eyes! Even the fussiest person would not be able to pinpoint any flaw on her!
Her body dipped and curved in all the right places, and even an international supermodel would be green with envy at her perfect figure!
"Mengcheng!" Chen Xiaobei's face sunk. All the nonchalance was swept away and replaced with worry and panic.
Chen Xiaobei had not expected Lu Gang's hostage to be Lan Mengcheng!
"Hey kid, are you shocked? Surprised?" Lu Gang looked very pleased with himself. His furrowed brows twisted upwards in delight.
From Chen Xiaobei's reaction, Lu Gang could confirm that his hostage was of great importance to him. The perfect prisoner to hold to gain leverage over Chen Xiaobei.
"How is she with you?" Chen Xiaobei asked.
"Hmph! I left Atlantis to catch myself a hostage to lure the scaredy-cat! My plan was to capture this little lady, and then the other one called Liu Xuanxin, but that Liu girl was not in Dragon City. I had just taken this Lan girl when I got your message! I thought that I might as well bring her here with me!" Lu Gang laughed.
"It looks like you've done a thorough investigation into my background while I was gone!"
"Heh! I control the South Town Star Temple! All the demi-G.o.ds on earth have done everything in their power to help me look into you! Investigating your past was a piece of cake!"
"What else did you find?" Chen Xiaobei frowned; sensing a greater load of danger ahead.
"Would it make a difference for me to tell you what I found out?" Lu Gang grinned, wrapping his hands around Lan Mengcheng's neck. "If you don't want to me to break your woman's neck, you and your helpers should destroy your own cultivation! My patience is limited. I'm giving you 10 seconds to think about it!"
Chen Xiaobei and his Beast Kings were all too stunned to react.
Lan Mengcheng was in Lu Gang's hand, literally.
If they attacked, Lan Mengcheng would die! If they retreated, it would mean that they could not save Lan Mengcheng either!
Chen Xiaobei was holding a wolf by the ears, stuck between two choices.
"Hey Lu, I give you one chance. Let Mengcheng go, then I'll let you go!" Chen Xiaobei said.
"You must be b.l.o.o.d.y kidding! Don't think that I don't know that you're the type of person who values your friends! You're not the kind to just sit there and watch your woman die! As long as I have her, you can bet that I am in the superior position!" Lu Gang chuckled. "I don't need you to let me go! You have 3 seconds left! If you don't destroy your cultivation, I wouldn't mind slowly squeezing the life out of this woman! This little angel really is still young. A very rare find I must say!"
"Fine! I agree! As long as Lang Mengcheng is fine, we are willing to destroy our own cultivation!" Chen Xiaobei said.
"Master! Think twice!" The Beast Kings began to panic.
Destroy their own cultivation!
This was no joke!
Even if they were to destroy their own cultivation, there was no guarantee that everything would end peacefully!
With the animosity between Lu Gang and Chen Xiaobei, once they destroyed their own cultivation, Lu Gang could use the opportunity to kill Chen Xiaobei easily. At the end of the day, when all had been said and done, Lan Mengcheng would still be Lu Gang's captive!
The Demonic Beast Kings could not understand why Chen Xiaobei would a make a decision like that.
Lu Gang urged, "Hurry up! Why are you guys dilly-dallying? Destroy your cultivations now! We'll settle our accounts later!"
"Hold your horses! How do I know that Lan Mengcheng is still alive?" Chen Xiaobei said. "If she's dead, and you're carrying a corpse, then you can't threaten me!"
"Heh, that's easy." Lu Gang chuckled, and then injected Ethereal Force into Lan Mengcheng.
"Mmm, what is this place?" Lan Mengcheng's eyes parted slightly as if she had just woken up from deep sleep.
"Do you see it now? This woman is still alive and well!" Lu Gang looked squarely at Chen Xiaobei. "If you want her to continue to live, it'll all depend on your performance!"
"Who are you?! Why are you holding me captive?!" Lan Mengcheng screamed at Lu Gang.
"Mengcheng! Mengcheng, you have to calm down!" Chen Xiaobei called out.
"Xiaobei! Xiaobei, is that you?"
Lan Mengcheng asked in a panicked voice, "What is this place? Why are we here? Am I dreaming?"
"Mengcheng! Calm down first! Listen to me!"
Chen Xiaobei's voice was deepened. And he was emanating a firm and steady Qi Flow; enveloping Lan Mengcheng. She had initially feeling felt gripping panic but the moment she felt Chen Xiaobei's Qi Flow, she felt a warmth once again in her soul as if she had someone holding her that she could rely on.
Fortunately, Lan Mengcheng herself had experienced many difficult situations before so she was very discerning and sharp-witted.
With Chen Xiaobei's help, Lan Mengcheng was able to adjust her emotions, and calmed her panicked self down. Now, she quietly looked at Chen Xiaobei, calm and very much composed.
Lu Gang cut in, "Hey kid! What do you have to say? If you don't do what I say in 3 seconds, I will just kill this girl!"
"There's no need to rus.h.!.+" Chen Xiaobei said. "You've done your homework on me so you should know that I like using stategies emplying masks! I have reason to believe that this Lan Mengcheng is fake! If you want to threaten me, then you have to let me check and see if she's wearing a mask!"
"Dream on! Don't try to find an excuse to get near the hostage! I am not stupid!" Lu Gang refused.
"Fine! I won't go near her! Just let me ask her a question!" Chen Xiaobei answered.
