Berserk God of War-Chapter 763: Two Letters
Chapter 763: Chapter 763: Two Letters
Finally, Sikong Jing unceremoniously accepted the second Qianyuan Soldier Killing Map that belonged to Su Old Demon, and naturally, he couldn’t put it down.
Seeing Sikong Jing tucking it away, Su Old Demon smiled satisfactorily.
But deep in his eyes, there was a hint of sorrow and sighs.
Because, the moment his granddaughter Su Yuexi was taken away, her son-in-law had already started on the same path as himself, and his son-in-law’s words just now were crystal clear, he was determined to fight to the end.
That’s why Su Old Demon had made up his mind to give Sikong Jing the Qianyuan Soldier Killing Map, to aid him in his struggle.
But even if Sikong Jing’s military talent was extraordinarily strong, the path of a non-combatant was still full of thorns, with the risk of dying in battle looming at all times.
Shaking his head gently, Su Old Demon chased away his sorrow, realizing he must impart some more advice to Sikong Jing...
"Ajing, whether I could have become stronger than the Qianyuan War Emperor, I have no certainty at all,"
"After all, I am standing on the shoulders of those who came before me, and military strategies are extremely complex matters."
"However, I cannot give you the first original map, otherwise, it would bring you the life-threatening disaster that your sister spoke of, and I am also planning to tear the original into pieces and scatter them among those great powers chasing after me."
At this point, Su Old Demon’s voice became hoarse.
Sikong Jing was stunned, staring at him blankly, not understanding his intention.
Slowly, Su Old Demon explained, "By tearing it into pieces, with the largest piece going to Zhenglong, and only Zhenglong able to unlock it, I want to ensure his protection at Willow Leaf Saint Manor, irreplaceable!"
"Isn’t Willow Leaf Saint Manor using Zhenglong to lure me out? Well then, I shall make an appearance for them to see."
In an instant, a glimmer of understanding flashed in Sikong Jing’s eyes, he finally realized what Su Old Demon intended to do.
If the original were given only to his father-in-law, then his father-in-law would become the target of all, but by tearing off the largest piece for him and scattering the rest among various powers, the risks would be divided equally.
Every power would have a piece, just that the Willow Leaf Saint Manor’s piece would be slightly larger, preventing him from becoming a universal enemy.
Yet, after some thought, Sikong Jing added, "Grandpa Su, you don’t have to make a decision right now, you can find a place to recuperate in peace first, as long as Yuexi is with him, my father-in-law won’t be treated badly by Willow Leaf Saint Manor either."
He felt that now was not the time for Su Old Demon to make an appearance; the key was to recover from his injuries in peace.
There would be plenty of opportunities for Su Old Demon in the future to overturn Willow Leaf Saint Manor and rescue his father-in-law and Yuexi.
In response to Sikong Jing’s suggestion, Su Old Demon revealed a faint smile.
"I am still the same stubborn man, I just want to fight against those hypocrites, to slap their faces; I also want to use the Qianyuan Soldier Killing Map to instigate conflicts across the Central Plains..."
"With your Detoxification Pills, I have already recovered eighty percent of my power; I will step on them one by one."
"They all think that I have diminished in strength due to the beast poison, but they definitely didn’t expect, Ajing, that you have something to alleviate the beast poison."
"Hahaha..."
Saying this, Su Old Demon laughed wildly, finally looking a bit like a demon.
After the laughter subsided, he turned to Sikong Jing again.
"Previously, I lured those hypocrites to the Northern Mountains with a Battle Puppet Substitute, while I hid here, preparing to find Wu Yan. Now that I have, it’s time to truly go to the Northern Mountains and have a good time with them."
Having said this, he threw two items onto the stone table, which were two envelopes.
Su Old Demon continued to instruct, "These were left behind by your parents, and they’ve always been on the stone table, but they are connected to the Spirit Origin Small Secret Realm, which will gradually collapse upon opening the letters."
"That’s why I’ve kept them earlier, to prevent your sister from getting them."
"I haven’t seen the contents of the letters, nor can I open them... They probably require your blood to be opened."
Pausing for a moment, Su Old Demon looked intently at Sikong Jing, patting his shoulder heavily, "I’m leaving now, you must not disappoint Yuexi, and you must achieve what I could not."
Having said that, Su Old Demon took a step forward, lightly brushed past Sikong Jing’s shoulder, and struck a handprint.
The next instant, a passage leading outside materialized in the Spirit Origin Small Secret Realm.
At this moment, Sikong Jing’s mind became somewhat flustered, and he quickly turned around, calling out, "Grandpa Su, I can create the real medicine to cure the beast poison in your body, but I need a few more days to experiment."
The Thousand Beast Flower Blood Drop would truly cure the beast poison in Su Old Demon’s body.
But the Feiyun Butterfly had said...
Even someone as powerful as Su Old Demon would need to dilute it with water, and because of his strength and the uncertainty of his Cultivation Technique, even dilution required modifications and trials.
For example, he might need to blend in the blood of another demon beast to ensure it wouldn’t affect his own meridians and Cultivation Technique.
Hearing this, Su Old Demon paused briefly and laughed, "Since it will take a few days, you go ahead and test it out first. I’ll take it when I come back."
After speaking, Su Old Demon completely flashed through the exit and vanished.
In an instant, the Spirit Origin Small Secret Realm fell silent, while the passage above remained.
After a while, Sikong Ling pouted and said, "Brother, why is Grandpa Su in such a hurry? Isn’t it just a few more days of waiting? Those major powers won’t be able to withdraw from the Northern Mountains in just a few days, right?"
Sikong Jing remained standing, silent for a long time.
"Brother?" Sikong Ling called out, puzzled.
It wasn’t until then that Sikong Jing finally looked at his sister and said hoarsely, "Grandpa Su... probably won’t come back."
"Ah? Doesn’t he want to be cured anymore?" Sikong Ling asked with a look of confusion.
"Because he... can’t wait to see Yue Xi’s grandmother," Sikong Jing murmured, teeth clenched tightly.
As his words fell, Sikong Ling also froze, and then tears began to fall heavily.
With a sobbing voice, Sikong Ling said, "But, but if he was here, maybe Sister-in-law and the others could have been protected."
To this, Sikong Jing fell silent.
Perhaps that was the case, but Grandpa Su couldn’t wait any longer.
And as the public enemy of the entire Central Plains, while protecting Yue Xi, he might also bring even greater danger to them.
"Don’t think too much about it. Maybe after seeing Yue Xi, they can change Grandpa Su’s mind?"
Suddenly, Sikong Jing managed a slight smile as he wiped the tears from his sister’s cheeks, then changed the subject, "Now, let’s hurry and see what our parents have left us."
With that, Sikong Ling pulled herself out of her sadness, following her brother with anticipation toward the stone table.
Staring at the two envelopes on the table, Sikong Jing said, "We should each take one."
Nodding her head, the siblings each summoned a drop of blood, allowing it to fall on separate envelopes.
Hum...
In the next instant, the envelope Sikong Ling had touched glowed brilliantly, while Sikong Jing’s showed no reaction whatsoever.
Suddenly, Sikong Jing was dumbfounded. What’s going on?
Could it be that I am not the biological child?
As Sikong Jing was completely baffled, Sikong Ling’s envelope had already stopped glowing, and the seal opened automatically.
The two looked at each other and then Sikong Jing said with a hint of dejection, "Ling’er, try this one."
