This is a cultivation game, but the operation is bad

Chapter 284 The Last Employment Contract!

"Do you intend to kill me?!"

Seeing that Jiang Liu harbored murderous intent, General Yang's tiger-like eyes widened, his predatory gaze fixed on Jiang Liu, as if he wanted to use the pressure of his gaze to force Jiang Liu's murderous aura back.

kill you?
No, no, no, how could that be?

You are the second-best player in the entire server! You are the leader of the number one power in the Chinese server! You are the King of Yao, who commands countless members of the Taiyao faction across the country!

How dare I, a mere newbie from the fourth server, kill you?

But if you're not careful and make a mistake, that's normal, right?

After all, battles are fought with every second in mind, and no one can predict what will happen next. If I accidentally kill you, please don't hold a grudge, Your Highness.

If you can kill, why not kill?

Fearing that they might anger General Yang and force him to use his ultimate move in retaliation?

If I'm scared, I'm not Jiang Liu!
Jiang Liu showed no sign of holding back; in fact, his movements became even faster and more ferocious, and the crimson light on the Azure Blood Hundred Slaughter Sword intensified.

Five Elements Revolving Sword!
True Phoenix Dharma Form coordinated attack!

A sword and a flame, their power is divine!

Previously, it was General Yang who was suppressing Jiang Liu.

Now, it's Jiang Liu who's dominating General Yang.

With just one skill, the roles of offense and defense were reversed!

This is the power of a limited-time pool item worth hundreds of millions of spirit stones!

One minute, five minutes, ten minutes
Jiang Liu relentlessly attacked General Yang, cutting down enemies for over a thousand miles.

Just as the two started fighting, Jiang Liu had just piloted his Supreme-grade Dragon Boat away from the poison circle and returned to the safe zone.

When General Yang was chasing and beating them, they fought for thousands of miles.

Now, after Jiang Liujian forced General Yang to travel over a thousand miles, the two of them have gone around in circles and returned to the underground arena of the final round.

After being pushed back for over a thousand miles, General Yang suffered more sword wounds, and his spirit robes were slightly charred, making him look quite disheveled.

He was not only embarrassed, but also furious.

He's been in a similar predicament before; he was also in a very awkward situation when competing with Taiye City for first place in the event in Zone 1.

But who was his opponent at that time?
It is the renowned Night Sakura, the second most powerful force in the Celestial Empire, Taiye City!
And now.

His opponent was just a newbie player from the fourth server, an ordinary player who was completely unknown before this battle.

Regular player?
I bother!

What ordinary player could push him to this point?
They were forced into a situation where they would be completely helpless without using their ultimate move or limited-time skills.

The limited-time bloodline's true form lasts for 1 hour, and 10 minutes have already passed. I only need to defend for another 50 minutes before I can counterattack.
General Yang pondered silently, but his face quickly darkened.

Are we going to be beaten for another 50 minutes?

Are you kidding me? I can't stand it for even a minute longer!
General Yang's imposing aura was stirring, and the violent energy he exuded made Jiang Liu feel slightly alarmed.

Oops.

It seems like the old man has gotten angry.

This old man is no good either. I was beaten for hours and I didn't get angry, but you got angry after being beaten for ten minutes. What kind of mentality do you have? You need to train.

General Yang looked like he was about to lose his temper, which made Jiang Liu tremble a little.

Although he is currently on the defensive against General Yang, it is undeniable that once General Yang uses his ultimate move, the situation will reverse again.

This reversal could very well cost him his life!

That won't do. I need to hold on a little longer and stall for time!

Seeing that General Yang was about to retaliate, Jiang Liu became anxious, wondering what method he could use to stop General Yang from continuing to be beaten.

His mind raced, and suddenly an idea struck him. He looked at General Yang with a provocative expression and said, "Boss, you're not doing so well either. Are you getting old?"

"You keep getting slashed, can't you fight back and put some pressure on me?!"

"You've spent so many resources from the Taiyao tribe, you should have quite a few top-tier skills and items, right? Don't be stubborn, just use them already."

"I've already used limited-time banner items, and you still aren't. Are you looking down on me?"

General Yang: "."

He was about to unleash his limited-use bloodline, but after hearing Jiang Liu's provocation, he swallowed his anger.

"Using limited-time gacha items? Kid, don't overestimate yourself!"

General Yang immediately withdrew his thought and retorted sarcastically to Jiang Liu, "I'm saving my limited-time pool items for Ye Longying. You're not qualified to see them!"

"Heh, you want to force me to use limited-time pool items? Then put some more pressure on me!"

"If you can reduce my health bar to below 20%, I'll use it, but can you do it?"

20%, right?

Jiang Liu silently memorized this health bar, thinking that he must control his strength and absolutely not reduce General Yang's health bar to below 20%.

As long as General Yang doesn't use his ultimate move or limited-time items, the next 1 hour and 50 minutes will be his main offensive time!
Two more hours have passed, yay!
Seeing that he had almost pushed General Yang to his limit, Jiang Liu dared not push his luck any further this time and softened his blows slightly.

He recalled his original intention.

The goal is not to kill General Yang, but to hold the employment contract until its conclusion!
Let's let this old man off the hook for now; we can settle our scores another day.

Jiang Liu began to control the frequency of his attacks, alternating between fast and slow strikes, giving General Yang a little breathing space.

At first, General Yang thought he was being awesome again, but after blocking for more than ten minutes, he realized what Jiang Liu was doing.

This kid is holding back!?
Upon realizing this, General Yang flew into a rage, thinking, "You're going easy on me, the second-best player in the entire server? Are you looking down on me?"
But then he realized what Jiang Liu meant.

Is this trying to stop my health bar?

He didn't want to force me to use my ultimate move, nor did he want the battle to end too quickly.

Is he stalling for time?

General Yang frowned slightly, glanced at the red arrow above Jiang Liu's head, and suddenly realized what was happening.

He actually wanted to keep the job offer!
Although he had long suspected that Jiang Liu had this intention, he was still shocked when he confirmed it again, marveling at the boy's extreme audacity.

Isn't that incredibly audacious?

Who are currently aiming for an employment contract?
Top 20 players in the Chinese server in terms of combat power!
The Celestial Empire is the number one, second, and third most powerful nation!

Zone 1 and Zone 2!

And what about the river?

One person ranked fifty or sixty on the overall combat power list!

For someone to snatch an employment contract from the big shots in Zones 1 and 2 is no less difficult than snatching food from a tiger's mouth.

He not only thought about it, but he actually did it; he was incredibly audacious.

Awesome! I've never admired many people in my life, but you're one of them.

General Yang thought to himself that he was appreciating Jiang Liu more and more.

But while you can appreciate it, you still have to fight for it when it comes to what you want.

This employment contract is related to the funding support for the Taiyao Department; each contract represents 10% of the funding, and we can't let outsiders take it away.
Huh?
Something seems amiss? As if he had just realized something, General Yang suddenly froze.

It seems, it appears, perhaps, probably, possibly
Is this kid from the Taiyao tribe too?
He suddenly remembered that Jiang Liu in front of him was also a member of the Taiyao tribe, but he hadn't admitted it, and the other party was denying it as well.

But whether he admits it or not, Jiang Liu's personal file is in the Taiyao Department.

In other words, the employment contract he had could also increase funding for the Taiyao Department.

so
What have I been doing for the past few hours?

General Yang couldn't help but reflect on himself.

For the first few hours, he didn't know that Jiang Liu was the one holding the employment letter, which is why he kept chasing after him.

Later, he caught up with the player who was hiding underground with the employment letter and discovered that it was Jiang Liu, someone who was nominally one of his own.

But by then, he had been kept in the dark for several hours, and he was already furious. He didn't care who it was; he just wanted to teach the other person a lesson.

Now that he had vented his anger, he had regained his initial composure.

After careful consideration, he realized that he no longer had any reason to fight Jiang Liu!
Jiang Liu is practically one of us, so for an ally to fight against another ally is just plain stupid.
He hadn't forgotten that there was a most powerful enemy waiting for him outside.

Nightfall Cherry Blossoms, Taiye City, these are the real enemies!
Besides, even Nangong Wentian is a petty person and not worth worrying about.

Then the problem is coming.

How can we stop this battle?
General Yang frowned, unsure of what to do.

Should we get him to take the initiative and beg for peace?
He couldn't open his mouth.

Since I can't bring myself to ask, I can only wait for the other party to stop first.

Ten minutes, twenty minutes, thirty minutes.
The two of them smashed the area 10,000 meters underground into a pile of mud.

After Jiang Liu unleashed his True Phoenix Dharma Form, he maintained an advantageous position, forcing General Yang to adopt a passive defensive stance.

General Yang was waiting for Jiang Liu to tire himself out and stop to negotiate, but Jiang Liu showed no intention of stopping. On the contrary, he became more and more courageous and excited as he fought.

stop?

I'm sorry, but I have absolutely no intention of stopping until the True Phoenix Dharma Image disappears.

Ten minutes, twenty minutes, thirty minutes.
"Five Elements Spiritual Ascension Technique!"

"Five Elements Revolving Sword!"

"True Phoenix Dharma Appearance!"

Another wave of heat blasted over General Yang, making his veins bulge and his face contort with rage. He couldn't help but yell, "It's been over an hour! Aren't you tired?!"

"what?"

General Yang, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke, causing Jiang Liu to be slightly taken aback. He subconsciously nodded and said, "I'm tired."

I've consumed hundreds of thousands of Rejuvenation Pills, how can I not be exhausted?
But what can I do if I'm tired? You've put so much pressure on me. What if I stop and get counter-attacked?
I dare not stop, I dare not stop.

"You know how to complain about being tired."

General Yang couldn't fathom what Jiang Liu was thinking, and was too embarrassed to call a halt, so after a long pause, he finally managed to utter, "Why don't you take a break?"

Want to take a break?

Jiang Liu looked at General Yang with a puzzled expression, then seemed to remember something, looked at General Yang with a wary gaze, and shook his head repeatedly: "I'm not tired, I won't rest."

You wouldn't let me rest earlier, you wouldn't let me rest later, but now you're letting me rest? What are you up to, you old rascal?

there is only one truth.

He wants to delay my True Phoenix Dharma Form time so he can turn against me!

My True Phoenix Dharma Form only has a few tens of minutes left. Do you think I'd be a fool to ask me to stop now?

Jiang Liu not only didn't stop, but instead increased the speed of his sword strikes, reducing General Yang's health bar to below 50%.

"The Five Elements Revolve, Sword, Sword, Sword!"

General Yang: "."

Is this what young people are like? Their energy is fucking boundless!

While marveling at this, he was also wondering why the Dharma form of this limited pool bloodline hadn't disappeared yet.
The limited-time bloodline's Dharma form is supposed to last only 1 hour, right? Why is it still there now that the time has passed?
He didn't know, and neither did any of the players except Jiang Liu, that the duration of the Dharma Form would double after the bloodline was purified in the limited pool.

Whether it was the purification of bloodline, the ∞-level spiritual root, or the effects of the God King Body, General Yang and other players, including Ye Longying, knew nothing about it.

The reason is simple: who would be foolish enough to spend tens or hundreds of millions of spirit stones to upgrade a limited-time pool item that is already at its maximum level by one level?

It's already a fully upgraded limited-time item, and if you pay double the price to boost its stats, no one with a sound mind would buy it.

Except for the river.

Jiang Liu is mentally sound, but he's only half as capable!

How can you not buy it at 0.1% off?

Others complained that he bought too much!
General Yang had been holding back because he thought the True Phoenix Dharma Form would only last for one hour.

She endured it, thinking that once the True Phoenix Dharma Form disappeared, she would tell this kid why the flowers were so red.

But now, an hour has passed, and the True Phoenix Dharma Form has not disappeared, and it is unknown how long it will last.

Depend on!
I can't bear it anymore, no need to bear it anymore!

I'm going to fight back!

I'm going to beat this brat to ten lives!
boom!
General Yang's previously restrained power suddenly erupted, and his terrifying aura swept across dozens of miles, causing Jiang Liu's expression to change drastically, and he subconsciously retreated a thousand meters away.

Damn, that old man Deng has gotten angry again.

Getting so worked up in just a few hours, what's the point of cultivating immortality with that kind of mentality? Can't you just go back to growing vegetables?
"Just because I'm not showing my teeth doesn't mean I don't know Hello KT!"

"My Heavenly Dragon Technique"

General Yang's aura erupted like a volcano, just as he was about to summon his Heavenly Dragon Dharma Form to vent all the anger he had been holding back.

Sudden.

A system voice suddenly rang out, resounding throughout the heavens and earth, forcibly interrupting his spellcasting.

[Attention all players, the tenth job offer has been sent out!]

[Attention all players, the tenth job offer has been sent out!]

[Attention all players, the tenth job offer has been sent out!]

Three consecutive system voices echoed in the underground space, causing General Yang's Heavenly Dragon Dharma Image to be suppressed once again.

The final employment contract has arrived!

General Yang was clearly stunned, staring blankly at Jiang Liu, the system voice that had just disappeared echoing in his ears, and he felt extremely awkward.

I was just about to unleash my fury when your tenth job offer arrived. What do you mean by this?
Is the plan to protect this kid, or is it fate?
He frowned, his face darkened, and after hesitating for a few seconds, he still flicked his sleeve, snorted coldly, and left in anger.

"Hmph, I'll let you off this time, but if you're so capable, you'd better never come out of the underworld again!"

Jiang Liu: “.”

Jiang Liu scratched his head, watching General Yang rise from the ground, thinking that he had gone a bit too far this time. He would stop when this battle was over.
