"Don't you notice already? Lord Shaoyang has not used any skills yet while the spirit almost used all tricks in the sleeve but has not managed to land even a hit," Wei Xi explained to the two confused souls who watched the battle in a daze.

"It seems we made the correct decision to join the Empire…" Liao Zhenya muttered in a low voice after she watched Tang Shaoyang in the battle.

"Then Captain Cao was telling us the truth that if Lord Shaoyang joined the battle with us, he would kill most of the zombies. We will gain fewer levels…" Zhen Yang recalled Captain Cao's words during their meal. He thought it was just boastful talk, but that was not the case.

"Hahaha…" Wei Xi laughed proudly because it was funny to him. A few months ago, he was in these two positions as well. He was worried about the future leader and also whether they could pass the disaster?

He kept questioning himself to the point he stopped doing that and put his full trust in his leader. Wei Xi had been in their position, now he became the one who was proud of his Lord.

"If you have to ask me or the others, I do believe that none of us know how strong the Lord is. His power is immeasurable, we can trust him," Wei Xi laughed. It was his genuine feelings to his Lord.

*** ***

Just like Wei Xi said, Tang Shaoyang had not used any skills in the battle while he had seen Bronson's skills.

"It seems this is the limit…" Tang Shaoyang had not finished his words as suddenly noticed a shadow however from the back.

He immediately activated Spirit Eyes and he saw the horse he had been ignoring was right behind him now. The horse stood with the two hind legs. The animal was still trying to trample him.

"It seems this is my win," Bronson said while observing Tang Shaoyang's expression. The man had a mad grin while fighting but that disappeared as soon as the man noticed Darcos was about to trample him.

Bdump!

Using the front hoofs, Darcos trampled Tang Shaoyang's shoulder. To Bronson's surprise, the man did not budge. Sure, his soles sunk to the ground from the impact, but the man was still standing.

[[Dispersal] triggered! The attack power has been negated by 50%!]

[Dispersal] was a passive defensive skill. If the skill triggered, it would negate 50% of the attack on him. It was an overpowering skill, it just that the trigger chance was around 20% to 30%. Darcos was so unlucky that the attack triggered the skill, not it would change the situation as he still had [Mana Shroud], [Flame Shield], and [Dragon Scale].

Tang Shaoyang's body spun around as he slapped the horse with freehand. Darcos was sent flying with just one slap.

At the same time, he raised the battle-ax, grinning widely at the shocked Bronson, "It seems you could never win against me, Knight Slayer!"

[Thousand Slashes]

Bronson snapped out of his shock when he saw the thousand of the battle axes.

[Extreme Swiftness]

[Darkness Enhance]

[Protection of Darkness]

Dang! Dang! Dang!

A thousand slashes were blocked, all of them. Tang Shaoyang could feel it from the battle-ax as he felt resistance from each of the slashes. After a moment of surprise, it was replaced with delight.

Even though Bronson managed to block a thousand attacks in the span of three seconds. The Knight Slayer fell on his back. As the dust dissipated, Bronson's sorry figure came into sight.

The Knight Slayer's hands were trembling as he could no longer use them to fight after all of that. That meant he had lost, there was no way he could continue the battle under this condition.

"I lost…" with a sigh, Bronson slowly brought the sword next to him, the sword rested next to its master for the final moment. Even though his hand was under a fierce trembling, he did not let it go until now.

"The winner takes everything. I will not resent you even if you use me as a sacrifice," Bronson closed his eyes.

Tang Shaoyang grinned ear to ear as he approached the Knight Slayer. There was a magic circle on top of Bronson's forehead. Instead of sacrificing Bronson, he touched the magic circle with his palm.

"Unfortunately, your journey will not end here. You have shown me that you are more than having potential. Now you have to dedicate your life to serve me, Bronson the Knight Slayer!]

[Do you want to establish a contract with Grade S Spirit, Bronson the Knight Slayer? Yes/No?]

[You have established a contract with Grade S Spirit, Bronson the Knight Slayer!]

Bronson and his horse dispersed into black smoke and entered his forehead. Bronson had become the eighth contracted spirit.

—Thank you for your mercy, My Lord. This servant Bronson will dedicate his life for your glory!

"Good to know that," Tang Shaoyang smiled in return.

"Let's see, double down? Grade S+ Spirit, I want that one for my collection now," Tang Shaoyang smirked as he spoke those words without realizing that he would hurt the prideful magus.

—So we are merely a collection to you, now!?

As someone who had a social standing in society, that was an insult to Zowen. Collection, it was more like they were Tang Shaoyang's slaves instead of standing as an equal status.

—Tsk, Lightning Bitch started it again. You should know that the Master does not have ill intention behind his words. He is just excited for the next summoning.

Karan responded while clicking his tongue.

Tang Shaoyang knew that both were about to become noisy. He immediately cut off the connection and flew toward the sky once again. After some thought, he decided to use 1.5 million zombies instead of 2 million sacrifices.

"How many zombies in the city we killed? We have sacrificed less than two million zombies in total…" He was not expecting the zombies would be this many.

*** ***

"Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn!" King Biron kept cussing as his eyes looked toward Hangzhou, his main city.

Not only did he lose the connection with his ten million zombie armies and Sheron, but he also lost twenty Zombie Consorts. It took huge resources to have twenty Zombie Consorts, now he lost all of them.

"Whoever attacked my city, you will feel this King's wrath. I will make you beg me to kill you, I will do everything to make you suffer all eternity!" King Biron roared furiously.

He and his army were still far away from Hangzhou. But as soon as the connection was cut off, he picked up his pace. They returned with full speed.

*** ***

Meanwhile, Tang Shaoyang was unaware of the incoming bigger zombie armies. He was focusing on becoming strong by sacrificing the zombie corpses.

He used 1.5 million zombie corpses for the next summoning. The same phenomenon repeated, a little bit fiercer than Bronson's summoning phenomenon but still scary nevertheless.

[You have summoned Grade S Spirit, Aerelion the Dark Wyvern!]

Despite the additional five hundred thousand sacrifices, he could not summon Grade S+ Spirit. This was a big loss to him.
