Upon seeing the eerie smirk on Jiang Xiaobai’s face, AnRan knew that his boss was about to stir things up again.
“Fatty, remember this, while brute force can overpower sometimes, it is strategy and cunning that will always swing the tide in your favor,” Jiang Xiaobai said.
“It also gives you a fighting chance to escape death when push comes to shove.”
AnRan responded with a thoughtful nod, “Boss, I am not very good with cunning and strategies. Do you have anything to teach me?”
Jiang Xiaobai smirked, “That’s easy, remember this, no matter the method, as long as it achieves the goal, it is a good method.”
“And the first thing you need to cultivate, is shamelessness!”
“Huh?”
“Stop asking and get ready, I am going to help you change your appearance.”
Jiang Xiaobai took a bit of his time to alter AnRan’s appearance, giving him a completely new face.
AnRan still wore a jowly face, though it was now devoid of the mottled birthmark. In its place was a ghastly sabre scar, and Jiang Xiaobai also gave him a bald-headed look.
Jiang Xiaobai forcefully swapped out his weapon, replacing it with a long spear, making AnRan’s entire presence seem more ferocious and brutal.
Looking at his masterpiece, Jiang Xiaobai was extremely satisfied, and he likewise disguised himself as an extremely slovenly and skinny monkey.
After they finished, they both looked at each other and could not help but burst into laughter.
“Don’t waste time! Now, listen to my arrangement!”
“Sure Boss, your word is my command!”
“Great, pick up your weapon, charge ahead, and hunt down those guys!”
Listening to this, AnRan was bewildered. Were they planning to hunt them down right then and there?
Though he didn’t understand the plan, AnRan went along. He lifted up his long spear and charged towards the enemy.
Jiang Xiaobai followed closely behind. Though they were few, they had a fierce aura around them.
A group of five people, who were making their way up front, suddenly felt the terrifying murderous intent from behind. They all turned around and found Jiang Xiaobai and his cohort chasing after them.
“What’s the meaning of this?” the leader of the five-person team exclaimed, preparing himself for a fight.
At that moment, Jiang Xiaobai suddenly channeled his energy into his throat, boosted his voice by hundreds of times louder.
Suddenly, a thunderous roar echoed throughout the mountains.
“Hong Shixian’s head is on them! Kill them and claim the bounty!” His voice was so loud that it could be heard within dozens of miles radius.
The five-person team was flabbergasted.
What’s going on?
They didn’t even get to see one hair of Hong Shixian, let alone talk about his severed head.
“What do you mean? We haven’t even seen the shadow of Hong Shixian!” the leader retorted angrily.
“Stop lying! I personally witnessed you all murdering Hong Shixian, and now, you want to flea with his head!” Jiang Xiaobai’s voice remained as powerful and daunting as before.
The five-person team was enraged by the accusation. How could this farce be played on them?
Meanwhile, Jiang Xiaobai and AnRan had already approached them and began to brawl. It turned into complete chaos in no time.
Jiang Xiaobai intentionally held back, creating a stalemate with AnRan and the five-person team.
Whenever the opposing team tried to escape, they would chase. When the opposing team chased them, they would retreat.
It was an elaborate cat and mouse game.
The aim was simple: to hold up the five-person team.
Witnessing this hair-raising scenario, more players started to arrive, drawn by the tumult. As soon as they arrived, they saw Jiang Xiaobai engaged in a fight.
Jiang Xiaobai quickly glimpsed at the new arrivals. There were seven of them with similar strengths, none of them being in the Transcendence phase, they were all in either the late or middle phases of the Yuan Infant.
“Hurry, Hong Shixian’s head is on them! Brothers, let’s kill them first and I ask for only a million top-grade spirit stones in reward.” Jiang Xiaobai called out to the newcomers.
As soon as the words came out, the five-person team almost spat blood.
The leader of the team urgently explained, “Nonsense, we don’t even have the head on us! We haven’t seen even a trace of Hong Shixian.”
“Stop your bullshit, I saw you brutally murder Hong Shixian with my own eyes.
There wasn’t even a body left!”
Jiang Xiaobai shouted, sounding almost genuine, “The head is on you! If you don’t believe it, show everyone your storage ring!”
Such a move, was it even possible?
Everyone present understood that if a storage ring fell into someone else’s hand, the owner would most likely not get it back that easily.
The newly arrived team frowned and didn’t immediately join the fight. They wanted to observe the situation first.
During this time, two more solitary fighters arrived. They too seemed to have taken Jiang Xiaobai’s words seriously and immediately charged into the group from two different directions.
The scene became chaotic.
The first group of seven people also began to panic.
Regardless of the truth, they decided to join the fight. What if it was true? What if the bounty was snatched away?
Just like that, the situation became utterly chaotic!
A group of people were engaged in a massive fight, causing a dizzying spectacle of various attacks.
However, the ironic thing was due to the similar strengths of the people, despite the number mismatch, nobody could immediately overpower the other.
This was exactly the situation Jiang Xiaobai was happy to see.
He slipped through the chaotic fight screaming occasionally, leading AnRan to the outskirts of the battlefield. They didn’t care how intense the fight was at the core.
Meanwhile, more and more people arrived because of Jiang Xiaobai’s previous roar. They arrived at the chaotic scene and with Jiang Xiaobai’s covert instigation, joined the fight as well.
Over time, the scene that started with just over a dozen people turned into a brawl involving seventy to eighty people.
It was utterly chaotic as everyone’s opponent became everyone else except their own teammates.
As for the five-person team that Jiang Xiaobai accused at the beginning, well… they had already been crushed to a pulp in the chaos. Their storage rings? Well, they naturally wound up in Jiang Xiaobai’s hands.

Due to the delay in information dissemination, the newcomers didn’t know who actually had the “prize”. But they didn’t want to miss the opportunity and all joined the skirmish.
The scene grew bigger and the situation became increasingly complicated.
During this time, Jiang Xiaobai had already retreated to the surrounding areas along with AnRan. They occasionally launched sneak attacks and blocked incoming attacks before swiftly dodging away.
“Boss, you are a genius!”
“Hehe, this is nothing. It’s just the beginning. The real drama is yet to come.” Jiang Xiaobai sneered, “I’ll show them the consequences of messing with me!”
