Chapter 936: How about surrendering to me?
However, even if there are peak dark energy masters who have cultivated derived techniques, once their number reaches ten, the combat power they represent is extremely astonishing.
Pei Runnian was thinking in his mind, and after scanning Tian San, Tian Qi, Zhao Wuming and others one by one, he began to look in all directions.
However, he did not believe that Tian San and others here were all the invading personnel. The reason was very simple. If it were him, if he were to send three top dark energy masters to carry out a mission, even if they were only three pseudo top dark energy masters, it would represent an extremely powerful fighting force.
It is definitely impossible for such a luxurious lineup to carry out the mission with only these few people in front of us.
Especially among the people in front of him, except Tian San, Tian Qi and Zhao Wuming, the three masters at the peak of dark energy, the only other masters worth watching are Qin Tianshuang and Ding Mao.
Pei Runnian didn't take the rest of Tian San's men seriously at all.
In Pei Runnian's view, these subordinates who have not even cultivated internal strength are complete garbage. Even if they are holding weapons, they have no fighting power at all.
With such a top-heavy lineup, if the mission goes smoothly, it will be fine. A few experts can completely rely on the performance to eliminate the target with ease and retreat safely after completing the mission.
However, once there are enough experts around the target to tie up the top expert, then such a strange lineup will be instantly restrained and will not be able to escape at all.
Those warriors who haven't even cultivated internal strength are simply unable to provide sufficient support and help to masters like Tian San and Tian Qi, and will be killed instantly by the enemy's concentrated fire at the first moment of the battle.
And only Tian San, Tian Qi, Zhao Wuming and others are left. After being held back by an equally powerful opponent and unable to escape in time, the opponent will have strong enough helpers to assist in the attack, which will put Tian San, Tian Qi and others into a tough battle. They might capsize in the ditch and die on the spot if they are not careful!
For a peak Dark Force master, even one who practices derivative Dark Force techniques, the resources required to cultivate to this level are an astronomical figure that cannot be estimated.
Even the loss of one person would be enough to make the leader of any martial arts force so heartbroken that he couldn't sleep at night.
Therefore, no matter which martial arts force it is, when they decide to send out a top Dark Force master to carry out a mission, they will be equipped with sufficient support forces to ensure that even if the top Dark Force master fails to complete the mission or is even surrounded by heavy enemy forces, he or she can escape unscathed and not die on the spot.
The mission failed, but the top dark energy masters have retreated, so everything is still possible. The foundation of the organization cannot be shaken, and its vitality is still there.
However, if the mission failed and even the top dark energy masters who carried out the mission died, it would almost be a disaster. With the foundation shaken, the entire organization might fall apart at the slightest sign of trouble.
Therefore, no leader of a martial arts organization would dare to joke with the life of his own top dark energy master. Even if it means selling everything they have, they will definitely gather enough people to follow the top dark energy masters and ensure their safety.
Or they may have some kind of emergency rescue mechanism, which does not involve sending out personnel to follow at all times, but the moment a Dark Force master sends out a signal for help, a rescue team will be dispatched to support the Dark Force master within no more than ten minutes.
And if a top Dark Force master can't even last ten minutes, then what can we say? There is really no need for this top Dark Force master to stay alive. Even if he is alive, he will definitely be a shame for Dark Force warriors.
Pei Qingsong coming to rescue Pei Xingchen, and Pei Runnian leading a team to rescue Pei Qingsong are the most intuitive manifestations of this rescue mechanism.
According to Pei Runnian's understanding, judging from the configuration of the three top dark force masters in front of him, Tian San, Tian Qi and Zhao Wuming, there should be at least more than twelve dark force warriors and more than forty bright force warriors following them. On the one hand, they serve as their personal guards, and on the other hand, they serve as shields to ensure the safety of Tian San, Tian Qi and Zhao Wuming in case of any accidents.
But now, beside Tian San, Tian Qi and Zhao Wuming, there are only Qin Tianshuang and Ding Mao, two late-stage dark energy warriors. It is far from meeting the standard of twelve people. Not to mention the bright energy warriors, there is a direct gap, not even a single person. There are only a dozen or twenty followers who are in the body strengthening realm and have not even cultivated internal energy. Such security force is extremely weak!
If Pei Runnian wanted to, with his current strength and manpower, he could kill Tian San, Tian Qi and Zhao Wuming on the spot.
If at any time before, Pei Runnian had seen the other side put up such a lineup, he would have given the order without hesitation and mobilized all his men to go forward and chop Tian San, Tian Qi, Zhao Wuming and others into pieces, killing them to the point where they could not die any more.
However, it was precisely because the protection of Tian San, Tian Qi and Zhao Wuming was too weak, and Pei Runnian thought that there must be something wrong when things were abnormal. He couldn't help but wonder whether this was a strategy of Tian San or Chu Longtu behind Tian San and others. The purpose was to deliberately show weakness to lower their defensive psychology, and when they really took action, all the ambushes around them would be dispatched in one fell swoop to catch them off guard.
It cannot be said that Pei Runnian was overthinking, or that his thoughts were wrong, nor can it be said that Pei Runnian was cautious or timid. It can only be said that these are the qualities necessary for the leader of a huge force.
Doubting everything, even oneself, is a necessary quality for the head of any major force to maintain his position for a long time and live comfortably.
If he didn't even have this much vigilance, and just believed whatever others said like a naive person, then Pei Runnian would probably not have lived to this day. He would have been eaten alive by Pei Qinghai or Pei Qingwu during the turmoil in the Pei family over the past ten years, and not even a hair would have been left.
This situation has occurred countless times in wars throughout history.
Show weakness, lure the enemy to your front and then suddenly launch an ambush, defeating the enemy or even killing them without leaving a single piece of armor. There are so many examples of this that it is impossible to count them all. So after Pei Runnian was sure that the people in front of him were really all the people brought by Tian San and others, he began to wonder whether Tian San and others had other ambushes.
Tian San, Tian Qi, Zhao Wuming and others are all people who have been around in the crowd of cunning people. They are more cunning than monkeys when they get involved. When they saw Pei Runnian stop talking and start looking around, they immediately understood what Pei Runnian was thinking.
Tian San smiled and spoke lightly.
"Master Pei, there is no need to look. These are indeed all the people we brought with us. There is no one else."
Tian Qi even sneered and ridiculed Pei Runnian mercilessly.
"If we had brought other people with us, we would have finished the job and left long ago. Why would we be blocked here by you?"
Compared with the reservedness of Tian San and Tian Qi, Zhao Wuming completely let himself go and started to output crazily.
"I've heard for a long time that Pei Runnian, the head of the Pei family, is very cautious and timid. Even when he is having sex with his wife, he asks his servants to go in first to see if there is anyone hiding under the bed to assassinate him. I thought it was an exaggeration before, but I didn't expect that it was all true after seeing it today. It really opened my eyes."
"No wonder the Pei family has been plagued by internal strife over the years, but they have been able to piece together and barely survive until now. It seems that the prudence of the head of the Pei family has played a great role."
"If you ask me, it wouldn't be too much for the entire Pei family to kowtow to you."
"If you, an old fellow who is even more cowardly than a coward, had not been in charge, if the elders of any of the other four factions of the Pei family had taken over, I'm afraid the Pei family would have been dragged into the ditch long ago, and would have been eaten by others until not even the skin was left."
Zhao Wuming seemed to be praising Pei Runnian, but the sarcasm and contempt in his words almost belittled Pei Runnian to the core, especially the words like "old turtle" and "doing things with his wife". He even made direct personal attacks on Pei Runnian without the slightest decency, which made the man in black and Pei Qingsong next to them so angry that their lungs were about to explode.
They had never seen such a shameless person. He did not have any of the self-cultivation and temperament that a martial arts master should have. He was just a pure little hooligan!
No matter how much the opponents they met before hated each other in their hearts, and even wanted to eat each other alive, they still maintained the necessary composure on their faces, smiling as if they were meeting old friends. If people who were unaware of the feud between the two sides saw them, they would probably think that they were close friends!
But this bastard Zhao Wuming had no intention of playing this hypocritical plot of "We'll drink from the golden cup together, but we'll not spare each other with swords" with them. He ruthlessly tore off their hypocritical veil, attacked them with the most rude language and foul language, and trampled all decency under his feet!
You know, no matter whether Pei Runnian has a good or bad reputation, he is now the head of the Pei family. When facing the outside world, Pei Runnian's face represents the face of the Pei family.
Zhao Wuming's insult to Pei Runnian was equivalent to insulting the entire Pei family.
As members of the Pei family, how could they feel proud?
The auras of the eight men in black all became much heavier at the same time, and a fierce aura instantly rose from their bodies, piercing people's skin like a knife, and they pressed towards Zhao Wuming madly.
The moment the breath fell on his body, Zhao Wuming felt as if his skin was cut by a knife. The chilling coldness stimulated his entire hair to stand up and he shivered violently.
My whole body felt like it was being pointed at by a knife. It was extremely uncomfortable.
However, Zhao Wuming was not at all panicked and frightened. Instead, his blood boiled even more. He suddenly raised his head and let out a long roar to the sky. The roar was desolate and murderous, filled with depressing madness and murderous aura.
"What's the matter? Did I hit a sore spot?"
"It's really fucking true that the emperor isn't anxious, but the eunuchs are. The real emperor hasn't spoken yet, and you useless eunuchs are already barking in anxiety!"
"Just relying on you little bastards, you think you can fight me?"
"Get out of here!"
Accompanied by a sharp and crazy roar, the rapidly surging internal energy in Zhao Wuming's body began to erupt wildly in his body, just like magma that had been suppressed for many years and finally erupted.
The powerful force that erupted at that moment even caused the internal energy to briefly leave the body, and instantly condensed into a circle of faint flames around Zhao Wuming's body, like a burning flame that flickered, wrapping Zhao Wuming completely in it, making him look particularly majestic and solemn, just like a statue in a temple, filled with a sacredness that made it impossible to look directly at it!
And at the moment when the powerful flame burst out, the murderous intent and aura emitted by the eight men in black and directed at Zhao Wuming were instantly destroyed by the powerful flame, and dissipated completely, making Zhao Wuming suddenly feel relaxed, and the sudden burst of power was refreshing!
The light flame destroyed the murderous intent of the eight men in black that was locked on Zhao Wuming. As their qi was affected, the internal strength of the eight men in black was also slightly affected. They couldn't help but groan in unison, and their faces turned pale for a moment, then immediately returned to normal.
When they looked at Zhao Wuming again, their eyes had all changed. In addition to anger and sharpness, there was also a hint of caution.
Even Pei Runnian's eyes showed a hint of surprise and vigilance when he looked at Pei Runnian, as if he was also surprised by Zhao Wuming's outburst.
