After getting accepted by Yang Liqin on his offering, the person hurriedly fled behind Kractacle to rest. He had been fighting for only 14 minutes max, but it felt like he had fought for a century.
A beast tide was no joke, and one mishap is enough to have your life.
When the others who were still struggling saw that Yang Liqin held no grudges despite their previous remark, more and more started giving up their resources to seek safety.
Nothing was more important than their lives in the end. They had tried their best, so even if they went back empty-handed, their clan could not reprimand them.
Another 8 minutes had gone by, and everyone had finally paid their price in exchange for safety.
However, they all have another question in their mind now.
Who was going to stop the beast tide?
Given how all the supposedly prey had gone over to Yang Liqin's side, then it would mean the beast tide would start focusing back on them.
"Fellow cultivator Yiqin, we had already paid our price, so you must not renege on your words."
"Yeah, the beast tide would start heading toward us. You must deflect them."
They started shouting at them due to fear. They were all exhausted and could not exert any more strength to defend themselves.
"Rest assured, my senior brother and I are extremely honorable in our words. Since you pay for our protection, then naturally you are safe now." Yang Liqin announced.
She stood up and pointed her finger at Jiang Ming. "Now that everyone had paid the price, my senior brother would exterminate the beast tide on your behalf."
'W-What?!' Jiang Ming was dumbfounded when he was suddenly pushed into the spotlight by his aunt.
"Why did you tell them that I would eliminate the beast tide?" Jiang Ming sent a mental transmission to ask her.
"We've extorted them a large number of resources, so if we don't show them our dominance, then they would definitely seek revenge. By decimating the beast tide in front of them, you will establish yourself as a profound cultivator." Yang Liqin kindly replied and flashed a gentle smile.
"Besides, with that Blazing Force technique of yours, it'll be enough to kill these bunch of lowly magical beasts. And if you are somehow struggling, then I will secretly assist you." She added.
Jiang Ming twitched his mouth in disbelief.
If he needed to require her assistance to kill the so-called lowly magical beasts, then it would be her exerting her dominance on him.
She was truly shrewd in this method to force him to go all out.
"Remind me to never piss you off again, aunt." Jiang Ming whispered to her.
"I do not wish to be your enemy at all. I would rather stay as your beloved nephew and one that you make love with."
"Then go ahead and show them our dominance. Don't let these people have nefarious intentions after we get out of the ancient ruin." Yang Liqin patted his shoulder.
And she continued, "By the way, there are only 6 minutes left according to the time you told me. Therefore, you need to start killing before the time limit."
She then gave a cheering action to him, showering him with her support.
Jiang Ming could only sigh in defeat as he leaped downward and stood in front of the crowd.
At this time, Yang Liqin ordered the Kractacle to give out a new set of orders.
"Kractacle, tell all the magical beasts to focus on Jiang Ming now. Make sure they all gather in one spot so that Jiang Ming can kill them easily without needing to chase after them." She said in telepathy.
Kractacle did not refuse the order as he made another loud screeching sound. As a contracted beast now, the order of Yang Liqin was absolute and he will never disobey her.
ROOOOAR!
With Kractacle's new order, the magical beasts turned their attention solely on Jiang Ming.
'Hot damn… these magical beasts seem to be a bunch of depraved beggars now.' Jiang Ming thought. He could directly feel the amount of killing intent coming at him.
Luckily he had been in a much more deadlier scene than this. Otherwise, he might be like the unlucky fellow who fainted from shock alone.
While he was in deep thought, a magical beast started to pounce toward Jiang Ming, his claws being razor sharp.
Jiang Ming narrowed his eyes as he hurriedly activated his movement technique to dodge its claw.
SLASH!
The magical beast missed the attack on Jiang Ming, but its claw alone managed to make a deep cut in the soil.
Despite dodging the first attack, Jiang Ming had no time to relax because two other magical beasts came from the flank.
"Tsk, can't you wait a second?" Jiang Ming clicked his tongue in annoyance.
He quickly circulated some of his spiritual qi in his palm to pulverize the ground in order to propel himself to the sky, dodging the flank attack narrowly.
However, he was still not out of danger since there are flying magical beasts among them in the beast tide.
Seeing the drastic situation, Jiang Ming could only reveal his ability slightly to deny their attacks.
With his right hand, Jiang Ming held the Moonstow Flame, and with his left hand, he had his Sword Force.
And in the eyes of many, Jiang Ming started merging the two powerful forces together, causing a huge energy fluctuation in the atmosphere.
"What is this technique?"
"I feel like suffocating just from the pressure alone."
"No wonder why that fellow cultivator Yiqin told his senior brother to defend us."
The group of people was nearly shocked to death by the increase of power from Jiang Ming.
They were skeptical of his prowess at first since all he did was dodge the attacks. But everything changed with his current display.
"This fellow cultivator Jing is partially a legend among us. How can we even compare to him when this one technique alone is enough to slaughter us?"
