Ultimate Supreme Soldier King

Chapter 1587 1582: You’re in No Position to Negotiate with Me

Originally, when Su Chen came knocking, Barney was not very willing to make a move.But later on, he found out that Su Chen was alone and was a Saint Realm Martial Artist.

Only then did he come up with the idea of hunting Su Chen.

But who would have thought that Su Chen not only didn't become his prey but turned into a ferocious prehistoric beast!

Not only was his old capital lost, but he also got himself trapped.

He even had to self-recommend himself as a servant to Su Chen, looking as if Su Chen really needed him.

I am really powerful!

...

Su Chen suddenly spoke: "Do you know the Illita Family?"

"Illita Family?" Barney was visibly stunned and instinctively repeated those five words.

"What, you don't know them?" Su Chen frowned.

"How could I not know?! Even if they turned to ashes, I'd recognize them!" Barney's eyes revealed a look of hatred.

The Illita Family and the Andrew Family have a vendetta!

After Barney succeeded in his puppetry technique, he also heard about the Andrew family's annihilation.

He vaguely grasped a clue that the downfall of the Andrew Family seemed related to the thriving Illita Family!

Illita Family is renowned for producing witches and is quite a famous family in the Witch World.

The Illita Family's fame in producing witches doesn't mean they only have witches, but historically, their most famous individuals have been female wizards.

The Andrew Family was annihilated because they possessed something coveted by others.

This thing had a special allure for the Illita Family.

Although it's not 100% certain that the Illita Family was the one who targeted the Andrew Family.

From some traces over recent years, some threads can still be seen.

The development of the Illita Family has become more rapid over the past decade or so; this isn't achievable without some special opportunities.

However, the Illita Family is now in the limelight, strong in power, and it's clearly challenging and unrealistic for Barney to confront them alone.

Thus, he has been lying low, gathering energy.

But who knew he'd accidentally run into an iron plate?

Looking at Su Chen, Barney was practically on the verge of tears.

Su Chen's strength was overwhelming; even with four Holy Realm Martial Artists, one of whom was a High Rank Sword Dao Martial Artist, plus a wizard, they couldn't take him down.

Instead, they were taken down in one fell swoop by Su Chen, who now was sharpening his blade, ready to claim Barney's life as well.

After Barney told Su Chen the information he knew about the Illita Family, Su Chen said nothing for a long time, making Barney endlessly uneasy.

Meanwhile, Barney wasn't just sitting around waiting; he was nervously recovering his magic power, ready to flee at any moment.

"Alright, I accept your pledge, but with what will you convince me that you genuinely want to be my subordinate and not feign allegiance?"

Su Chen temporarily needed a guide, and Barney was clearly suitable. He wasn't familiar with the wizard's ways.

If he hadn't just drained Barney's magic power, Barney might have already used Shadow Magic to escape.

This was something Su Chen found quite helpless.

"In witchcraft, there are many contract magics. I can sign a loyalty contract with you," Barney said.

"Then tell me what the differences are between these contracts," Su Chen said, intrigued.

He himself inherited the Shikigami of Dongyin's Onmyoji, so he had some interest in signing contracts.

Just like the Shikigami contract he signed with Shuiyue Jingxiang, which was relatively equal.

He summoned Shuiyue Jingxiang to the human world to assist him in battle while 'paying' her with souls as compensation.

The stronger the Shikigami, the more souls needed when summoned.

Moreover, they can absorb the free 'souls' in the human world themselves.

Actually, most Shikigami are relatively free, and powerful Shikigami can even refuse the summoner's call.

But the Shikigami with such power is at least at the level of a 'Divine General'.

Generally, however, it's unlikely for Shikigami to refuse summoning.

The Shikigami Space is extremely dangerous, and being able to enter the human world, collect 'souls' for cultivation, or as currency, most Shikigami are delighted by the opportunity.

To get back on track, speaking about contracts, there are many types, especially in loyalty contracts, there are those of equality between the loyalist and the one being loyal to, which, although holds the essence of master-servant, doesn't bind the loyalist much.

If Su Chen and Barney signed this type of contract,

for example, if Su Chen died, it would have no effect on Barney. Moreover, if Barney didn't obey, Su Chen couldn't even punish him through the contract.

And then there are unequal contracts, which come in two forms: master strong, servant weak, and servant strong, master weak.

If the former, the servant's life would be completely controlled by the master.

This means that if they signed such a contract, Barney would be at Su Chen's mercy in the future.

But if it's the other way around, it's more like the master signing to acquire the servant's powerful strength.

Every time the servant's power is used, a lot has to be sacrificed.

For instance, if a person signs a contract with a demon,

that person needs to sacrifice life, soul, etc., to satisfy the demon's appetite; otherwise, the demon wouldn't help, and might even backfire on the master.

Although Su Chen didn't know much about contracts, he wasn't easily fooled by Barney.

After Barney gave Su Chen a brief explanation of contracts, Su Chen directly summoned Shuiyue Jingxiang.

The moment the Centaur-state Shuiyue Jingxiang Shikigami appeared, Barney was dumbfounded.

Damn it… how many unknown methods does this Eastern man still hide?

But soon Barney regretted it; after Shuiyue Jingxiang explained the different types of contracts,

Barney's face turned grey. This… damn it…

"Hmph, at a time like this, you're still playing tricks on me?" Su Chen snorted coldly, without hesitation delivering a kick to Barney.

This kick caused the dark long robe covering Barney to fall partially, revealing his face.

A pale yet not ugly young man appeared, looking somewhat delicate, but completely out of sync with the previously low and sinister voice.

"Please forgive me, spare my life. I… I am willing to be a slave for eternity, but I have a request, could you…"

"You have no right to bargain with me," Su Chen said calmly.
