Berserk God of War-Chapter 134: Committing a crime against a superior, deserving of death by a thousand cuts
Chapter 134: Chapter 134: Committing a crime against a superior, deserving of death by a thousand cuts
Sikong Jing’s body shook, and seeing his father-in-law Su Zhenglong in peril before the city gates, he roared, "Father-in-law, hold on."
The response came from the mocking laughter of the Bandit Leader Ma, "Idiot, dare to show off your love in front of us, you might as well die first."
Bandit Leader Ma suddenly erupted with the power of the Earth Realm Second Level True Qi, but this True Qi was extremely sharp, obviously not something a common bandit could possess.
Of course, it was the standard cultivation technique of the Xia Country Army.
Bandit Leader Ma added, "Daring to rescue Yunye City, killing you, your soldiers will collapse without fighting."
With that said, he stormed forward to attack!
But Sikong Jing merely looked up coldly before swinging a slap out.
With a smack, the mightily advancing Bandit Leader Ma flew off like a broken kite, his scream tearing through the sky.
Now that Sikong Jing had absorbed the power of the Transcendent Warhorse, his realm had reached the Human Realm Sixth Level.
To him, the Earth Realm Second Level posed no threat!
Without saying a word, he held Su Yuexi with one arm and, like lightning, dashed toward the city gate, while shouting, "Everyone heed my command, slaughter the bandits."
By the time he finished speaking, he had already reached the city gates, boom, boom, boom...
With each punch, he obliterated those surrounding Su Zhenglong, bursts of blood mist exploded in front of the city gates like a rain of blood.
Sikong Jing then supported Su Zhenglong, "Father-in-law, are you alright?"
"Ajing!" Su Zhenglong’s voice trembled, having had a brush with death, he could hardly speak.
On the city walls, Duan Chengshan and the others opened their mouths wide, trembling as they said, "How is this possible?"
Bandit Leader Ma had been slapped away by Sikong Jing and the dozens of bandits attacking Su Zhenglong below the city gates had been blasted away. Was this something a petty criminal could do?
Everyone knew Sikong Jing was quite good, but at the time of the selection in Yunye City, he was only at the Dark Realm.
And what followed was an even more terrifying scene, unveiled before Duan Chengshan and the others.
They saw the thirty thousand soldiers of Yunye led by Ah Hu and Old Zhang charge into the tens of thousands of bandits, followed by a one-sided slaughter, with the bandits having no power to resist.
"Is this really our Yunye City’s City Guards?"
Whether it was Duan Chengshan, the City Lord Guard Officer, or the Jianghu people in Yunye City, all were dumbfounded.
This was not something the City Guards could do; this must be the elite of the Great Shang.
Before long, the bandits were completely annihilated.
Ah Hu and Old Zhang came to report before the city gates, "Brother Sikong, all the bandits have been cleared, not one survived."
At this moment, Sikong Jing had just finished treating Su Zhenglong’s injuries, but his eyes were filled with lingering coldness.
"Hmm, I know," he said.
Sikong Jing then suddenly raised his head and called out coldly, "Duan Chengshan, why aren’t you opening the city gates to welcome the return of Yunye’s soldiers."
Murderous intent rolled in Sikong Jing’s eyes.
During the time he treated Su Zhenglong’s wounds, Su Yuexi had told him everything that had recently transpired within Yunye City.
Sikong Jing now knew why his father-in-law had been fighting alone at the foot of the city, and why Su Yuexi, on seeing him, had leapt off the city wall without hesitation.
It was all due to Duan Chengshan’s coercion, he deserved to die.
Upon hearing this, Duan Chengshan’s body trembled slightly, and his own eyes also flashed with murderous intent...
Sikong Jing slapping him had happened nearly a month ago, but he couldn’t possibly forget it, and with Sikong Jing holding three pieces of Green Jade Paper, there must still be some extremely powerful treasures.
Otherwise, he couldn’t have grown stronger in less than a month.
"City Lord, we must not open the city gates, we must find a way to kill him. This youngster just flicked away the bandit leader of Earth Realm Second Level with a slap, he’s too dangerous," a guard officer advised quietly.
What he didn’t say was that the City Lord himself being only at Earth Realm Third Level might already be no match for Sikong Jing.
However, Duan Chengshan simply smiled faintly and ordered, "Open the city gates wide."
"City Lord..."
A group of guard officers were incredibly surprised, their faces filled with confusion.
Duan Chengshan arrogantly chuckled, "I am the City Lord appointed by the Great Shang Dynasty to govern Yunye City. With just a word from me, the thirty thousand soldiers of Yunye City must obey my command. What do you think a criminal like him could possibly do to contend with me?"
As soon as he said this, the guard officers came to a sudden realization.
Indeed, the soldiers of Yunye City were to obey the City Lord first, and only then listen to the City Guard General.
After all, no matter how formidable Sikong Jing was, he was merely a criminal.
Boom...
The city gates opened. Sikong Jing, having placed the injured Su Zhenglong on a carriage taken from the bandits, joined Su Yuexi on horseback and led the thirty thousand Yunye soldiers into the city.
"Ha ha..."
After everyone had entered the city, Duan Chengshan arrived with the guard officers to greet them, laughing heartily, "Congratulations to the soldiers of Yunye City for returning safely from danger and for slaying tens of thousands of bandits, rescuing Yunye City from fire and water." freewёbnoνel.com
"This is a great merit. I will request recognition of your bravery from Yunzhou City."
Duan Chengshan started by immediately making promises to the thirty thousand Yunye soldiers, buying their loyalty.
Then, without giving Sikong Jing a glance, Duan Chengshan asked, "Where is General Chou Ye? Why didn’t he return with you?"
Ah Hu, with a grim expression, stepped forward to report, "City Lord, both General Chou Ye and Lord Xing E are dead."
Duan Chengshan was not surprised by this answer, merely opening his mouth to sigh, "Ah, how unpredictable the affairs of life are! How exactly did General Chou Ye and Chief Xing perish?"
This time, no one answered.
Sikong Jing’s voice then followed, "Duan Chengshan, while I was out there fighting for life and death, you dared to bully my family inside the city?"
Upon hearing this, the surroundings fell silent for a moment.
Suddenly, a City Lord’s Guard officer stepped forward and rebuked Sikong Jing, "How dare you, a major criminal, call the City Lord by his name?"
A second guard officer stepped out and shouted, "Dismount and kneel! Now is not the time for a criminal like you to speak."
With their voices, Duan Chengshan and the others loomed over Sikong Jing with an overpowering aura.
However, a cold gleam flashed in Sikong Jing’s eyes, and his long spear flew out swiftly.
Pff, pff...
After two flashes, the hearts of two Human Realm Level guard officers were directly pierced, and they died instantly on the spot!
The entire crowd was stunned, staring in disbelief at the scene, and even Su Zhenglong on the carriage couldn’t help but be dumbfounded.
Ajing, why act impulsively again?
At the same time, Duan Chengshan was also staring wide-eyed in shock, asking frantically, "You criminal, you dared to kill my men?"
Wiping the fresh blood off his long spear, Sikong Jing spoke indifferently, "Duan Chengshan, I killed Chou Ye and I killed Xing E. Indeed, the ways of the world are unpredictable, but how do you wish to die?"
Buzz!
Duan Chengshan trembled violently all over, not believing what he was hearing and staring at Sikong Jing, "It was you, you killed Chou Ye and the others?"
"Yes," Sikong Jing replied emphatically.
By now, the thirty thousand Yunye soldiers already knew about this, and there was no longer any need to hide it, as no one dared to disobey Sikong Jing.
They had followed Sikong Jing through unimaginable warfare.
They had defeated the Princess of Xia Country, rescued personages from the Jin Sect, and escaped from the pursuit of Xia Country’s army numbering in the millions.
Such feats, even if boasted about, would not be believed by anyone.
"You, you’re committing insubordination, a crime deserving of death a thousand times over," Duan Chengshan couldn’t restrain himself from roaring.
Slap!
At that moment, Sikong Jing stepped forward, a slap sending Duan Chengshan tumbling to the ground, then he returned to his horse, "I’d like to see how you’re going to make me... deserve death a thousand times over."
