Chapter 2236 Quietly watch me perform? Soon, the black-robed man from the Direct Line finally joined the battle. Following the black-robed man’s appearance, the Direct Line instantly intensified their attack in an attempt to break through the order in a spurt of energy. However, experts from the collateral ancient clans swarmed out like a hornet’s nest, and the northern battlefield turned into a pit of carnage and bloodshed, resulting in countless fatalities. On the battlefield, Ye Wanwan’s eyes glinted chillingly as she stared at the black-robed man. This man not only caused her brother’s death… and might also be her grandpa’s killer! “I’d like to see just who you are!” Ye Wanwan yelled and swiftly shot toward the black-robed man. “Bai Feng, what are you doing?!” An expert from the Direct Line pulled Ye Wanwan back and shouted, “Are you planning to violate the alliance treaty?!” Ye Wanwan snorted at that. “I have a private grievance with him. Anyway, he said before that he isn’t a member of your Direct Line. Our alliance treaty clearly states that you don’t have the right to interfere with non-Direct Line factions.” Ye Wanwan added, “Moreover, did I attack? Don’t you see how he’s besieged by a dozen elites from the collateral ancient clans? I’m going over there to help him.” “Help him?” The Direct Line expert was startled. Based on her attitude, it looked nothing like she was going to help! Before the expert could say anything else, several elites from the Ji family rushed forward and started fighting the expert. Ye Wanwan withdrew from the scene and secretly approached the black-robed man. Every spot that the black-robed man touched, “not even a blade of grass grew”. His attacks were very extremely vicious and countless experts from many factions died in his hands. With the black-robed man’s appearance diving up the pressure, Yi Shuihan’s situation relaxed quite a bit, and he directly advanced into the inner circle of the collateral ancient clans. As Ye Wanwan watched the scene, she discovered something was amiss. There was originally a power differential between the Direct Line and the Collateral Branch, but after the addition of the black-robed person, the strength of the two parties was nearly the same. Logically speaking, if both parties had similar fighting strength, the number of casualties shouldn’t increase this quickly… However, under the trigger of the black-robed person, the Direct Line’s arrow was locked on the bow already, and they could only continue to exhaust their fighting force in this manner. Ye Wanwan could tell both the Direct Line and the Collateral Branch were suffering unspeakably. “If you continue to fight like this, even if we win… how many people will we have left?” Jiang Ying said to the black-robed person using a walkie-talkie. Jiang Ying was incredibly dissatisfied about the black-robed person’s fighting method. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮 “Clan Leader Jiang,” the black-robed person answered with a snort. “As they say, don’t doubt people you use and don’t use people you doubt. Since you chose me, you should trust me, shouldn’t you?” “I’m not doubting you, but with a tactic like yours, what’s the point even if we defeated the Collateral Branch?” Jiang Ying retorted with a frown. The black-robed man’s combat strategy was too radical. What the Direct Line wanted was to defeat the Collateral Branch and claim dominance over the Independent State. However, the black-robed man’s strategy would clearly lead to them perishing together with the Collateral Branch. “Heh…” The black-robed man chuckled. “Clan Leader Jiang, don’t worry… Right now, I possess the battle command over the Direct Line. You just need to quietly watch my performance. I’ll definitely give you a satisfying outcome…” “I hope so,” Jiang Ying replied. … Right now, whether it was the groups supporting the Direct Line or the factions supporting the Collateral Branch, they were all afraid and angry with the black-robed man.
