The Eternal Holy King
Chapter 37

After hearing this, Uncle Zheng and Liu Yu were momentarily stunned at first.

Both looked up, surprised. After staring at Song Qi for a long time, they then said slowly, "This ... how is this possible?"

"I'm sorry for being frank. Even though you two are members of the Su family, I'm afraid you don't seem to know much about the young master of both your families."

Song Qi said, "Second Young Master Su is not a Qi Refinement Warrior. But he has the ability to kill them. I am a Level 8 Refinement Warrior but I dare not say that I will win the fight against Second Young Master Su."

Over the past ten days, Song Qi had achieved a breakthrough in the realm and was cultivating up to Level 8 Condensing Qi using low grade spirit stones from Su Zimo.

"You are the Qi Refinement Warrior?"

"And the Level 8 Qi Refinement Warrior?"

"Second young master has the ability to kill the Qi Refinement Warrior?"

"Even the Level 8 Qi Refinement Warrior did not dare to be sure about defeating the second young master in the fight?"

A series of doubts emerged, leaving the Uncle Zheng duo a little confused and lost.

They had always thought that Song Qi was just a friend of the pessimistic world that Su Zimo knew. They interacted with him for days but did not know that the latter was a Qi Fighter.

Song Qi added, “My travel destination to the Su family this time is also because of Second Young Master Su. He entrusted me to protect you all."

These words shocked the Uncle Zheng duo even more.

The second young master actually had the ability to give instructions to a Level 8 Qi Refinement Warrior!

Uncle Zheng pondered for a moment and realized that Song Qi would not cultivate such baseless nonsense.

Suddenly, Uncle Zheng's face changed greatly as thoughts flashed through his mind. He suddenly asked, “The second young master killed King Yan. Can he still escape the capital?"

Song Qi's eyes dimmed and he smiled bitterly. He didn't answer.

Uncle Zheng's expression turned ugly. He seemed to be getting old instantly.

He watched Su Zimo grow up and looked at the latter like his own son.

In his heart, the blood feud of the Su family was obviously important but not one tenth of Su Zimo.

"Sighs." Uncle Zheng closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.

Liu Yu said in annoyance, "This is all Luo Tianwu's fault. If he had not told the second young master about what happened 16 years ago, the second young master would not have died!"

Uncle Zheng frowned and shook his head. He said, “The news of King Yan's death has not spread here. The lord of Jian An City was not stupid either. Would he believe Luo Tianwu's words? Even though Luo Tianwu led 50,000 soldiers and horses to the attack, he might as well not manage to defeat Jian An City."

Liu Yu's eyes were filled with endless anger. He said coldly, “Luo Tianwu is merciless and cruel. He did not forcibly launch an attack. Instead, he gathered the innocent villagers in ten villages near Jian An City and placed these villagers on the frontlines to shake Jian An City! As long as these villagers retreated, Luo Tianwu would give the order to slaughter them. The villagers are unarmed and have no way out. They could only run to Jian An City."

"What!" Uncle Zheng was stunned.

This tactic is cruel.

If a hundred thousand villagers ran towards Jian An City, it would create a great power that could not be ignored. As long as City Lord Jian An opened the city gates, the villagers would swarm around like bees. Right behind them were Luo Tianwu's 50,000 troops. Jian An City will definitely be taken down!

If Jian An City refused to open the city gates and chose to look on indifferently, the soldiers on the city walls would have to watch helplessly as their people in Yan Country were slaughtered. This would generate massive fear and panic in the city and also affect the morale of the army.

Moreover, there was a high probability that some of the villagers at the foot of the city gate were their relatives.

The great battle had not even begun and Luo Tianwu had won half of it!

However, these innocent people in Yan Country were the sacrifices behind his victory.

Although the Su family had lived in Ping Yang City all this time, they had always considered themselves to be citizens of Yan State. They were born in Yan State and raised there. They have a great sense of belonging to their home country.

Uncle Zheng waved his hand and suddenly said softly, "You can tell the young master about the news of King Yan's death. However, please don't tell him that Luo Tianwu expelled the people from Yan Country and attacked the city! Given the temperament of the young master, I'm afraid …"

At this moment, the door to the room located not far from there suddenly opened.

Uncle Zheng and the trio turned to look back.

Holding on the side of the door, Su Hong stood there. His face was still pale and his body was weak. However, his pair of eyes gradually regained their shine.

"Young master, you ..." Tears flowed in Liu Yu's eyes. He was choked by his words.

The man in front of him had patiently endured for 16 years in order to avenge the Su family's infighting. After learning that there was no hope for revenge, she almost fell awake, bedridden and sad.

Nevertheless, when he heard that the people in Yan Country were in trouble, he stood up without hesitation!

Although his body was weak and his injuries had yet to recover, he did not hesitate in the slightest.

This was because he was the son of the Wuding God, Su Mu, the descendant of the Su family and the young master of the Su family!

"Young master, your health is not good. How do you have the strength to fight? Record your order. our 5,000 black armored cavalry will help you to fight this battle!" Liu Yu gritted her teeth and said.

Uncle Zheng looked worried. He said, “Second young master can't possibly survive. Young master, please don't let anything happen to you. Otherwise, the Su family bloodline would be lost!"

There was a flash of deep sadness in Su Hong's eyes.

He had carefully hidden the disputes of the Su family because he did not want to burden his sister. He never expected to end up with such an outcome.

"You don't understand."

Su Hong suppressed the sadness in his heart and shook his head, “If Zimo really was the one who killed King Yan. I have to go and stop Luo Tianwu. This was because if King Yan was dead and Jian An City was taken away, Zimo would definitely become a sinner of the Yan State and leave behind a bad name for centuries. How can I, Su Hong, bear to let this happen?"

"But ..." Uncle Zheng's partner wanted to persuade him but was interrupted by Su Hong.

"Dad once swore that he would protect the people in Yan State for life, let the commoners have a safe and peaceful place protected from the flames of war to live. Now, the people in Yan Country are in trouble. I, Su Hong, would rather die on the battlefield with horses and corpses than hide here!"

Su Hong took a deep breath, his eyes sparkling brightly. He said in a deep voice, “Anyone who attacks the borders of the Yan State should be killed! Anyone who kills people in my Yan Country should be killed!"

At this moment, Uncle Zheng seemed to have seen Su Mu's shadow on Su Hong.

In a daze, he seemed to have returned to 20 years ago when he followed Su Mu in clinching victory across the battlefield and advancing boldly at all times!

Such familiar words, familiar scenes, the same bravery and the same look of one's prowess. There's nothing to be afraid of!

Su Hong raised his voice and said, "Where is the black armored cavalry!"

Not sure when, but 5,000 black armored cavalry had already gathered outside. Each of their gazes burned like fire and exuded the power of boundless desire to fight in battle.

Suddenly, Uncle Zheng's old eyes cried. Kneeling on one knee, he said loudly, "Zheng Zhe is willing to follow the general to attack and kill foreign enemies and protect our Country Yan and my people!"

All 5,000 black armored cavalry descended from their horses and kneeled on one leg in a coordinated manner. They shouted, "I am willing to follow the general to attack and kill foreign enemies and protect the Yan State and my people!"

Su Hong clenched his fists and said loudly, "Prepare the horses and follow me to the battlefield. May the glory of the black armored cavalry return!"

Watching this scene, Song Qi's heart was suddenly filled with admiration and respect towards this man before him.

As a Level 8 Qi Refinement Warrior, he could look down on all humans but at this moment, Song Qi took off his hat to the humans.

He experienced enthusiasm that he never had before.

He experienced family strife and village hatred that he had never had before.

He experiences a deep feeling of love for people and a deep love for the ground beneath his feet.

At this moment, Su Hong's body shook. He suddenly turned around with his back facing everyone and stretched out his palm to cover his lips. After which, he put his hand down, looking normal and without a trace of weirdness.

However, Song Qi could see it very clearly. On Su Hong's palm, there was a flashy pool of red blood!

Although Su Hong's body was weak, it was no longer in a severe condition. Therefore, there was no way he would cough up blood.

Song Qi was well aware that such a situation would only occur when one's heart was too much pain but had nowhere to vent pain.

Although Su Hong did not reveal much after hearing the news of Su Zimo's death, he had chosen to hide his sorrow deep within.

Previously, Song Qi was hired by Su Zimo to protect the Su family from harm.

However, at this moment, Song Qi really wanted to protect this man from the bottom of his heart!

Such a person does not deserve to die.
