Chapter 973: Ruthless to the Enemy
An hour later, another group of people fled behind, led by Mei Changqing, the master of the Ming Wang's Pavilion, and Sima Han, the master of the Qiandaomen.
There are just over three hundred of them left.
And they were followed by Liu Tingfeng and others, who were following and chasing at a glance.
It turned out that due to the huge disparity in strength, Mei Changqing and Sima Han saw that their morale was low and they couldn't resist Liu Tingfeng's attack at all, so they fought and retreated, and finally fled all the way here.
It can be seen that Tianji Peak has been breached, and the people who support Duan Yingzhuo are only left with such a few remnants of soldiers.
And Duan Yingzhuo had already come to the shore at this time, and under the cover of the masters beside him, he successfully grabbed a boat.
He wanted to wait for the others to escape together, but the battle on the shore was so fierce that they couldn't be separated at all, and it was because there were some people who were defending him that he had a chance to escape to the boat, while the others didn't have such an opportunity, and they were all fighting people on the shore.
When he saw Mei Changqing and Sima Han also fleeing in embarrassment, he knew that the general trend was gone, and he immediately didn't even want the boat, so he flew away with his sword, intending to flee alone while there was still someone to cover him.
It was not yet dawn, and the vast sea was all around Qianfeng Island, and there were still many torches lit in the place where the fight was fighting, but as soon as he left this range, he entered the hazy night in the blink of an eye.
The Tiger King, who had been paying attention to him, immediately said to an old man in the fairyland:
"Elder Li, Duan Yingzhuo has escaped, can you go and pursue?"
The old man replied without hesitation:
"Okay, look where he's going!"
After saying that, he dodged and chased after him at a faster speed.
A master of the Earth Wonderland, to pursue a master of the Tribulation Period, there is still a great hope of killing.
When Liu Tingfeng arrived with his people, the battle here had already come to an end, and he immediately ordered:
"Wang Hu, lead someone to intercept on the boat, and never let anyone escape!"
The Tiger King replied loudly:
"Yes, obey the orders of the alliance leader!"
Immediately, a large number of people flew and landed on the ship, and a battle line was formed there, and whenever anyone tried to escape, five or six strong masters immediately intercepted him, and no one would succeed in escaping.
Liu Tingfeng didn't participate in the battle, he watched from a distance as the people of the Martial Arts Alliance were encircling and suppressing over there, those who supported Duan Yingzhuo regretted it extremely at the moment, and many people shouted to surrender, but Liu Tingfeng did not order to accept the surrender, but continued to kill one after another.
Nearly an hour passed, and it was almost dawn.
When the distant sky finally revealed a glimmer of white light, the pre-dawn darkness was immediately replaced by light.
On the northern shore of Qianfeng Island, there are more than 1,000 corpses lying horizontally, both from enemies and from the Martial Arts Alliance.
Although it is an encirclement and suppression, the casualties are inevitable after all, but the casualties of the Martial Arts Alliance are much smaller, and there are about 1,100 casualties here, of which more than 800 are those who once supported Duan Yingzhuo, and the Martial Arts Alliance is only about 300 people.
Liu Tingfeng ordered the Tiger King to lead a part of the people to clean up the battlefield, and he led the team back to Tianji Peak.
When I returned to Tianji Peak, the battlefield here had been almost cleaned up, and the corpses of the enemies were buried in a big pit in a remote place, and those who died in the martial arts alliance were all cleaned up, and after counting their identities, they were all handed back to their respective gangs.
The main hall on Tianji Peak is called the Sky Palace, and it was originally prepared by Duan Yingzhuo to be used as the headquarters of the Martial Arts Alliance, so the decorations and furnishings inside have been arranged in advance.
This is the center of Qianfeng Island, and it is also the highest mountain, the Sky Hall is built magnificently, and the golden glazed tiles shine in the sunlight, which is quite a bit of domineering over the mountains.
The main hall is like a royal palace, and the throne of the alliance leader has been prepared.
In the empty hall, there are twelve pillars carved with twelve mythical beasts, which are full of mystery.
It can accommodate about 2,000 people, which shows that Duan Yingzhuo almost built this place as if it were a palace.
At this time, the sun had just risen, and although the whole mountain still exuded a strong smell of blood, it was also dissipating little by little in the sun.
The creation of a country requires the assistance of many generals, and the road to the promotion of every general is a meritorious achievement made by a lot of bones.
Although it is only rivers and lakes here, if the rivers and lakes are to be unified, they cannot do without fighting, and if some people support it, some people will inevitably oppose it, and if some people oppose it, they will not be able to avoid fighting.
In the battle of the rivers and lakes, how can there be immortals?
Liu Tingfeng was still dressed in white, spotless and handsome, he sat quietly on the throne of the alliance leader, he didn't look domineering, and he really lacked a little bit of the temperament of being the alliance leader.
However, none of the people sitting below at the moment felt that Liu Tingfeng was weak.
On the battlefield that just ended, there were people who were always shouting to surrender, but Liu Tingfeng did not hesitate to order every time:
"Kill them all, leave no one behind, and never accept surrender!"
He doesn't have a strong aura, he doesn't have a domineering appearance, but at that moment, he has a firm and cold heart.
Liu Tingfeng sat on the throne of the alliance leader and did not speak, and the more than 1,000 people sitting below also waited quietly, and no one made any sound.
They knew that Liu Tingfeng was waiting, waiting for the person who was chasing Duan Yingzhuo to come back.
After about a cup of tea had passed, the man finally flew in and came to the outside of the main hall, and walked in with a man's head twisted.
The head he was holding in his hand was none other than Duan Yingzhuo.
It seems that he didn't escape after all, and finally died in the hands of this earth immortal-level cultivator.
When the man entered the main hall, he saluted respectfully and said:
"See the alliance leader, his subordinates did not disgrace their mission, killed Duan Yingzhuo, and specially dedicated their heads!"
Liu Tingfeng nodded and replied:
"Elder Li has worked hard!"
When he had finished speaking, he ordered the head to be taken over, and then he continued:
"With Duan Yingzhuo's ambush, the alliance he established has vanished, which should be a joyous event to celebrate."
"However, we also paid a lot of price for this, destroying 6,800 enemies, and we also sacrificed more than 700 people, and the casualties were not few."
"Therefore, let's not celebrate for the time being, let's do the aftermath for them first, let them be in peace!"
The people below immediately echoed and replied:
"Obey the orders of the alliance leader!"
The voice of answering in unison was wafting in the inner hall, and the Liu Pavilion wind at this moment was inexplicably a little more powerful in the upper position.
After a moment of silence, Liu Tingfeng continued:
"I know that some people are a little uncomfortable with one of my decisions tonight, and even say that they are against it, that is, I do not accept the surrender of the enemy, but order to be slaughtered, which seems a little impersonal, even ruthless."
"However, I would like to solemnly explain to you here that I did not make this decision because I was affected by the Soul Devouring Bead, or because I was afraid that they would rob me of the throne of the Martial Arts Alliance Leader."
"The only reason I don't accept surrender is that I don't want them to have a chance to resurrect, and also so that we won't have to pay a heavy price for this in the future, with more casualties."
"King Mu Tianwang once said that kindness to the enemy is ruthlessness to oneself."
"When they have a chance to make a comeback, will they show mercy to our men? No, it won't. ”
"If Duan Yingzhuo succeeds in escaping today, with his former status and prestige in the rivers and lakes, it won't be long before he gathers a large gang again, and then he will contact more small gangs to form another martial arts alliance, and then come to challenge us, at that time, we will not have the opportunity to encircle and suppress him, but will become an evenly matched opponent."
"Let's think about it, when he leads hundreds of thousands of rivers and lakes to crusade against us, what price do we have to pay to defeat him?"
"At that time, our casualties will not be only a few hundred, but hundreds of thousands, and we will not necessarily achieve the final victory."
Speaking of this, Liu Tingfeng paused slightly, asking everyone to imagine the tragic scene, and after a moment, he continued:
"And this speculation is not unfounded, he sent a master to assassinate me and Master Lu at all costs last night, is there a trace of mercy?"
"He is a person who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, if I don't have the slightest precaution, it is very likely that I will not be able to see the sun today, if Lu Zhangmen is not guarded by someone who cultivates in the Immortal Realm, he will not only break an arm, but it is likely that he will pay the price of his life."
"In the face of such an enemy, if we do not cut the grass and eradicate the roots, it will resurge at any time and bring us a greater threat."
"Do you believe that those who have followed him firmly under such circumstances will willingly accept our rule if they surrender? Not to mention others, just Sima Han, the master of the Dry Knife Gate, if he is allowed to continue to live, then we don't know how many people will die in his hands in the future. ”
"These people must not be left behind, and if they stay, they will be endless troubles and disasters."
"I believe what Mu Tianwang said, to be as warm as spring to your own people, and to treat your enemies, you must be as ruthless as winter."
Speaking of this, Liu Tingfeng stopped, glanced at the people present, and found that everyone had thoughtful expressions, and knew that they were not so disgusted with their own practices.
Abbot Puhui also spoke:
"Amitabha, all causes and effects are self-inflicted, and if there is no good root, the Buddha cannot save it."
Tongxuan Daoist also nodded and said:
"Killing the wicked is also doing the right thing for heaven, and there is nothing wrong with this move!"
As soon as everyone heard this, even Abbot Puhui and Daoist Tongxuan felt that there was nothing wrong with Liu Tingfeng's approach, and they all echoed it and agreed with Liu Tingfeng's approach.
