High Martial Arts: First day of dropping out of school, reward: Devouring the Emperor's Body

Chapter 163

Five martial artists at the Heaven and Earth Realm from the White European Empire knelt down in unison, groveling and begging for mercy from the martial artists of the Great Xia.

To be honest, this was somewhat unexpected for Li Mo.

Although the people of the White European Empire were indeed afraid of death and valued their lives, and were very easy to surrender.

But this is a martial artist at the Heaven and Earth Realm!

It is the highest combat power below the God of War!

It's no exaggeration to say that it represents the face of a country.

They would rather die in battle than surrender.

Moreover, the higher the level of a martial artist, the higher their mental state; otherwise, they would not be able to cultivate to a high level.

Seeing this, even Mo Yi couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder the White Ou Empire has seen fewer and fewer high-level martial artists in recent years; even the Heaven and Earth Realm martial artists have become such spineless cowards!"

Li Mo echoed, "A country like this probably has no future!"

The entire White European Empire's military was rotten to the core, held together only by its veteran generals.

However, the current situation has left the warriors of Great Xia in a dilemma.

Although there are international conventions on the humane treatment of prisoners of war, and Li Mo had previously captured many prisoners of the White European Empire, there has never been a precedent of taking a martial artist at the Heaven and Earth Realm as a prisoner of war between different countries.

Martial artists at the Heaven and Earth Realm often hold very important positions in the military, typically at the level of army group commanders, and without exception, all of them hold the rank of general.

From a long-term perspective, killing them would definitely be better.

After all, the consequences of losing five army group commanders are unimaginable.

Back then, the White European Empire used nuclear weapons to kill a large number of mid-level officers in the Great Xia Dynasty, which caused Zhao Zhenyuan a lot of headaches. He even went so far as to use a lot of resources to train new recruits and snatch resources from the Martial Arts University.

These are five top-ranking officers!

I wonder how many resources the White European Empire would need to cultivate such a talent.

It's no exaggeration to say that it could directly determine the outcome of this battle for the alien ruins.

However, there are advantages to not killing them. Five top-tier officers can be exchanged for many good things from the White European Empire, and it's not impossible that they might even be offered an exorbitant price.

Unable to make a decision, Mo Yi turned to Li Mo and asked, "Li Mo, what do you think?"

Li Mo looked at Mo Yi in surprise. Although he had been promoted to general, such a big decision was not something he could make.

Clearly, only Zhao Zhenyuan can decide how to execute these five people!

"Why are you asking me? Go ask Zhao Shuai!"

Mo Yi gave a wry smile: "I'd like to ask that too. We just used an electromagnetic pulse bomb, and all our communication equipment has malfunctioned. Now I don't dare to deactivate the Seven Meridians Locking Yang Formation and take them back, for fear they'll turn against us! So I'm in a real dilemma!"

Originally, the best-case scenario for Mo Yi was that the five people would put up a stubborn resistance, and then they would kill them.

No one expected that a martial artist at the Heaven and Earth Realm would actually surrender!

But Mo Yi doesn't trust these people from the White European Empire. They are among the most untrustworthy people in the world, so now he's caught between killing them and not killing them.

"Don't worry! I'm not asking you to make the final decision, I just want your advice!"

Such a big matter was one that even Mo Yi, a general, dared not make a decision lightly, which is why he asked Li Mo for a question.

Given this, Li Mo offered his own advice.

"Alright! This is indeed a difficult matter. I'll be frank then: it would be best to kill half and spare the other half!"

The warriors of the White European Empire have never been honest. Once the Seven Meridians Locking Yang Formation is lifted, these five Heaven and Earth Realm warriors will recover their cultivation. If they turn against us then, even if the Great Xia side has seven Heaven and Earth Realm warriors, it won't be easy to deal with them. The result will only be mutual destruction.

However, if a martial artist at the Heaven and Earth Realm were taken prisoner, it would indeed be a tremendous threat to the enemy nation.

Therefore, Li Mo suggested killing half and leaving the other half.

Kill two and leave three, or kill three and leave two, it doesn't matter.

On the one hand, even if only half of them are killed, it is equivalent to killing two enemy army group commanders, thus eliminating two huge threats to our country.

On the other hand, it can also deter the other survivors from acting rashly.

Even if the enemy were to betray us, our seven Heaven and Earth Realm warriors would find it easier to deal with them.

At present, Li Mo's suggestion is indeed the best solution.

Mo Yi nodded, then praised, "Hmm! No wonder Commander Zhao praised you for being so shrewd and calculating, unlike a twenty-year-old! It's true!"

Li Mo's lips twitched slightly: "Is this a compliment or an insult?"

To Li Mo's surprise, what Mo Yi did next was even more cruel than his advice.

Mo Yi walked up to the five people and said slowly, "We have already come up with a plan on how to deal with you."

"You all know your positions are important, so surrendering as prisoners is impossible!"

Upon hearing this, the warriors of the White European Empire immediately turned pale.

"What do you mean by this, Mo Yi! If we surrender, our country will pay a huge price to get us back! What else do you want?"

"Exactly! This is already a bargain for your Great Xia!"

Once captured, the warriors of the White European Empire become remarkably tough.

They seemed quite certain that the people of Daxia would not execute prisoners.

Even martial artists at the Heaven and Earth Realm are no exception.

Mo Yi, however, didn't indulge them. Instead, he said coldly, "Our plan is simple: only half of you can live! Either two or three survive. We won't lift a finger; you decide!"

"I'm giving you three minutes. If you haven't made up your minds by then, I'll kill you all!"

After speaking, Mo Yi walked to the side and quietly watched the reactions of the five Heaven and Earth Realm warriors from the Baiou Empire.

Clearly, Mo Yi intends for them to kill each other!

Murder and kill!

For the people of the White European Empire, who always valued their lives, killing each other was not an impossible thing.

They could kneel before the enemy without hesitation to save their own lives, let alone kill their own teammates.

Therefore, as soon as Mo Yi finished speaking, the five Heaven and Earth Realm warriors, who had seemed to be of one mind, suddenly had their own thoughts.

The next moment, the five people inside the Seven Meridians Locking Yang Formation attacked their own people without any hesitation!

They weren't this ruthless even when dealing with their enemies!

Because they knew each other quite well, all five of them targeted each other's weaknesses...

This gave Li Mo and the others a good show to watch right there!

Knowing that these five individuals were all of extraordinary status, Zheng Jiahao even shook his head and sighed, "What a pity! The electromagnetic pulse bomb damaged their electronic equipment. Otherwise, if this scene could have been recorded and sent to the White European Empire, wouldn't the White European Empire have collapsed immediately!"

Zheng Jiahao is right. How disheartening it would be for the people if a general of a nation were to kill each other to save his own life and then become a prisoner of the enemy.
