Chapter 103: White Tiger's Ambition

Before Vermilion Bird could finish speaking, a missile accurately flew through the window and landed at his feet.

Boom!

Flames shot out, and the room Vermilion Bird was in was instantly blown beyond recognition.

"Good thing I reacted fast!"

Vermilion Bird, who had timely activated his Internal Energy to defend, only felt his blood and qi surge, suffering no serious injury.

However, before he could rejoice for long, several more missiles followed in quick succession.

Loud explosions continuously rang out until the three-story Western-style house Vermilion Bird was in was completely destroyed.

"Gah gah gah, keep bombing them."

White Tiger, watching from a distance, wasn't satisfied. His face was filled with excitement, completely devoid of his previous refined demeanor.

Then, White Tiger snatched an RPG from one of his subordinates and personally took aim.

Upon receiving White Tiger's command, his subordinates continuously fired at the ruins.

This continued until dozens of shells had been expended.

After the smoke cleared, a deep crater was left where Vermilion Bird had been.

Thick steam still emanated from the crater.

"You, go up and see if he's dead."

White Tiger grabbed a subordinate and threw him towards the deep crater.

This was, naturally, to prevent Vermilion Bird from retaliating in his dying moments.

The man was accurately thrown in by White Tiger. He looked closely and saw Vermilion Bird, completely naked, sprawled in the deep crater.

His skin was crimson, like a cooked prawn.

"Lord White Tiger, this traitor is dead."

Feeling that Vermilion Bird had lost his breath, the subordinate climbed out of the deep crater and excitedly waved his hand.

Surely this could be counted as a small merit for him.

However, before he could rejoice for long, a hand suddenly grabbed his arm from behind.

Immediately after, his other hand was also seized.

Soon, he personally witnessed himself being torn in two.

Exposed veins, a crimson body, and fresh blood made Vermilion Bird look like a demon descended from hell.

Everyone present, except White Tiger, had eyes filled with fear.

"White Tiger, are you trying to rebel?"

Vermilion Bird's voice was hoarse, his eyes fixed on the smiling White Tiger.

"You are the one rebelling. Your plot has already been exposed. Why don't you surrender immediately and come with me to beg for forgiveness from Lord God of War!"

White Tiger's words were firm. Everyone here today was his subordinate. As for Vermilion Bird's subordinates...

They had long been dispatched on missions under various pretexts.

Poor Vermilion Bird had been completely unaware of this until now, when he finally realized what was happening.

'I must escape first and bring the news of White Tiger's rebellion to Lord God of War.'

Vermilion Bird surveyed his surroundings: one Grandmaster, five Grandmaster Realm experts. As for those in the Xiantian Realm, he simply ignored them.

His Internal Energy was less than half of what it should be. He could only take a gamble.

"White Tiger, you dare betray Lord God of War? Die!"

Vermilion Bird struck first, slamming a palm towards White Tiger.

Everyone only saw afterimages flash. Before they could react, Vermilion Bird had already appeared before White Tiger.

White Tiger naturally saw his movements and met Vermilion Bird's fist with his folding fan.

A powerful shockwave spread out from around the two of them.

Aside from a few Grandmaster Realm experts, everyone else was pushed back several steps by the shockwave.

"The traitor still dares to resist! Everyone, attack! Whoever takes his head will be rewarded with 100 million and two promotions!"

With just one exchange, White Tiger was sent flying dozens of meters by Vermilion Bird.

Clearly, Vermilion Bird's strength was superior to his; he must have already broken through to the mid-Grandmaster stage.

However, Vermilion Bird's crimson body proved that he was also seriously injured.

Fortunately, he was cautious and knew to use thermal weapons to wear him down first. Otherwise, he definitely wouldn't have been able to keep Vermilion Bird tonight.

As the saying goes, a generous reward brings brave men. Hearing this bounty, almost everyone became agitated.

"Kill!"

Everyone charged towards Vermilion Bird, while White Tiger calmly retreated to the side.

He would let these people deplete Vermilion Bird's strength first, and then he would step in to kill Vermilion Bird.

As for the bounty, did these people really think he would honor it? Naive.

"Hoo... hoo..."

After eliminating two Grandmasters and over a dozen Xiantian Realm experts, Vermilion Bird couldn't help but pant heavily.

He was already severely wounded, and fighting forcefully now made his injuries even worse.

Looking at the surrounding crowd, who watched him like tigers eyeing their prey, and at White Tiger, who stared at him like a venomous snake.

A hint of despair couldn't help but rise in Vermilion Bird's heart.

"Go! He's finished!"

With White Tiger's command, his subordinates continued to charge forward and fight.

They could feel that Vermilion Bird's speed and strength were both weakening.

Fame and fortune were within reach, and everyone's eyes turned red with ambition.

"I'll stake it all!"

Vermilion Bird hardened his heart, his entire body enveloped in a golden light.

His aura grew increasingly vigorous, surpassing his peak state in a short amount of time.

"This is... the Elemental Dissolution Technique!?"

White Tiger's folding fan stopped, his eyes filled with surprise.

One must know that while the [Elemental Dissolution Technique] could temporarily push a person's combat power beyond their peak.

Afterward, all of their cultivation would be completely lost.

Considering Vermilion Bird's current predicament, White Tiger felt relieved.

Fortunately, he had always acted cautiously and hadn't rushed forward.

Thinking of this, White Tiger turned and drifted away.

But his subordinates were not so lucky. Facing Vermilion Bird at his peak combat strength.

In a short while, all of them fell into a pool of blood.

At this moment, the golden light around Vermilion Bird also began to flicker.

Knowing he couldn't delay any longer, Vermilion Bird didn't bother to search for White Tiger's whereabouts.

His figure quickly vanished into the night.

"Heh heh, it's good that you ran. I just wonder how Big Brother Azure Dragon in Xia Kingdom will face Su Yuan's wrath. Gah gah gah."

White Tiger smiled, his eyes full of mockery.

It was time for him, White Tiger, to take the position of Hall Master of the War God Hall.

After serving as acting Hall Master for a few days, he had already become addicted to this feeling of controlling everything.

Unlike before, when Azure Dragon and Su Yuan suppressed him.

Now, he could do whatever he wanted. This was what he truly desired.

"I should be safe now."

In a dark dense forest, Vermilion Bird leaned against a tree, panting heavily.

Suddenly, a sharp pain surged through his body, and Vermilion Bird collapsed to the ground.

Sweat covered his entire body.

After a while, Vermilion Bird gradually recovered and then stood up.

"Bastard, White Tiger, you just wait! Lord God of War will avenge me!"
