Chapter 97: Chapter 097: Losing the Negotiation Opportunity
Su Zhenglong’s face dramatically changed as he exclaimed, "Ajing, why have you come back?"
He was both shocked and fearful. If Sikong Jing had returned, what would happen to Yue Xi?
How could she possibly escape the city now? If both men of the house were to die here, the two women would surely endure unspeakable humiliation. How could he die with peace of mind?
"Father-in-law, rest assured. Yue Xi is now safe, and how could I possibly let you fight alone?" Sikong Jing knew what Su Zhenglong was worried about and calmly reassured him.
He then drew out his long spear and flung the corpse of a Chu Family’s Human Realm master aside.
With his spear horizontally positioned, he swept his gaze over the people of the three great families and coldly said, "From today onward, Yunye City will no longer have the Three Great Families."
Buzz!
No sooner had his words fallen than Sikong Jing hurled his long spear towards an attacking member of the Hai Family from the Human Realm.
With a scream, the high-level expert from the Hai Family was struck squarely by the spear tip, his head exploding like a smashed watermelon.
"Dark, Dark Realm Eighth Layer."
It was only then that Su Zhenglong realized his son-in-law’s realm had improved again, having reached the Dark Realm Eighth Level, all within less than a month since he married Yue Xi.
However, the Dark Realm Eighth Layer was still too weak. Even if Sikong Jing were exceptionally monstrous, he surely couldn’t withstand the assault of so many attackers.
But he had himself as well.
With this thought, Su Zhenglong gave a mighty shout, "Ajing, today we father-in-law and son-in-law will blow up the entire city together!"
Having said this, his Big Long Saber cleaved through the air, forcing Chu Rongxian harshly back.
The corners of Sikong Jing’s mouth twitched slightly, really wanting to say that he alone was enough, but how could he bear to dash his father-in-law’s spirited heart? He had no choice but to hold back some of his power and let his father-in-law shine.
In this manner, the father-in-law and son-in-law duo, one with a spear and one with a saber, caused the entire scene to erupt with continuous terrified screams, frightening everyone out of their wits.
"Patriarch Chu, quickly summon people to form an array. We can’t continue in this disorganized way anymore."
"Darn it, darn it, darn it. Su Zhenglong is one thing, but how can this criminal be so terrifying when he’s only at Dark Realm Eighth Level?"
"And there’s also Su Yue Immortal; she must absolutely not come here!"
The people from the Three Great Families cried out in alarm, among them Chu Rongxian, who was the strongest, a high-level expert of the Human Realm Ninth Layer. Yet, compared to Su Zhenglong, a prodigy of the same realm, there was quite a gap.
Ren Zhong was at the Human Realm Eighth Layer, and there was another Ren Family elder at the Human Realm Eighth Realm.
Now, the only option was to lead with these three in formation to battle!
Yet even so, they were still continuously driven back by Sikong Jing and Su Zhenglong. If Su Yue Immortal were to join, their deaths would be miserable, they would crumble.
Fortunately, luck was on their side, Su Yue Immortal hadn’t shown up.
"Brother Jing, Father..." Su Yuexi looked at the chaotic scene, her palms sweating with nerves.
Sui Yu remarked earnestly, "Sister-in-law, don’t worry. Brother Sikong and your father will be fine. Even ten times as many people would be useless."
At this moment, he was overwhelmed with emotion. Although his brother was only at the Dark Realm Eighth Level presently, this was merely his achievement in less than a month since starting over. He was still that brother, the invincible Sikong God General.
No matter if it was the Human Realm Eighth Layer or Ninth Layer, his brother could break the seemingly impossible Heavenly Dao rules of tier crossing.
Suddenly, Sui Yu asked, "Sister-in-law, your father is very good to Brother Sikong, right?"
Su Yuexi was taken aback for a moment then gently countered, "Why do you ask?"
With a smile, Sui Yu lightly replied, "Because brother held back his power. If it were the old days, the enemy wouldn’t have had the slightest power to resist. He rarely allows others to assist in a fight."
Only Sui Yu could see that Sikong Jing was paving the way for Su Zhenglong to kill.
The only ones who could make his brother act this way were those to whom he gave his whole heart, even he himself had only received such an opportunity once.
Su Yuexi was even more baffled. Could Brother Jing be stronger than he appeared?
"Ren Zhong, die!"
Just at that moment, Su Zhenglong suddenly slashed at Ren Zhong’s waist. The latter’s Protective True Qi shattered, the saber pierced his belly, his eyes bulged in disbelief, and then he breathed his last!
Another Family Head from the Four Great Families had died.
At that moment, the spectator stands erupted in uproar. Today, they witnessed yet another fierce battle between the father-in-law and his son-in-law.
Yesterday, it was a brutal beating of Su Yuexi, but today was even more explosive as they confronted the Three Great Families.
Before this, no one thought they could win, everyone believed they were doomed, but in the instant Ren Zhong died, everyone seemed to realize, they were invincible.
"Su Zhenglong, I want you dead."
The people from the Ren Family roared frantically and rushed forward even more wildly.
"Dare to touch my father-in-law, die!" Sikong Jing’s cold voice rang out, leaving a trail of fresh blood wherever his long spear went.
Kill, kill, kill...
One life after another fell. Su Zhenglong was responsible for the heavenly killing, Sikong Jing for the reaping. They caused such fear in the people of the Three Great Families that they forced them to retreat from the arena.
In the blink of an eye, the Three Great Families, led by Chu Rongxian, were pressured so much they could barely breathe.
He turned his head to see, only three masters from the Human Realm were left, his mind completely in turmoil. How could they continue to fight?
"Su Zhenglong, stop fighting, let’s talk peace," Chu Rongxian realized that the momentum was against him and shouted frantically.
Su Zhenglong’s expression stiffened slightly, hesitant, as after all, this was the Martial Arts Arena of Yunye City, and the City Lord would definitely care if they talked peace, perhaps there was still a chance to stay in Yunye City.
He did not want to be wanted, did not want to take his family on the run; he was still waiting for Yue Xi to truly return.
"Patriarch Chu, no need for peace talks. See who I have here?"
Just then, a voice came from the direction of the spectator seats, unmistakably Luo Tong’s again.
Simultaneously, there came a scream: "My Lord!"
Sikong Jing turned around, a flash of anger across his face; his mother-in-law Mei Xiaofang had ended up in Luo Tong’s hands.
In an instant, Chu Rongxian’s eyes brightened, and he quickly changed his tone and laughed loudly, "Family Head Luo, well done. After today, I will support your Luo Family to become one of the Four Great Families."
With those words, Luo Tong laughed loudly; seizing Mei Xiaofang was precisely for this promise.
Everyone was focused on the slaughter in the arena, only he sensed something amiss and noticed Su Zhenglong’s wife mingling in the crowd.
By capturing her, he could curry favor with the Four Great Families and avenge past deep-seated grudges.
And he gained more than he had anticipated.
"Xiaofang..."
"Mother..."
The voices of Su Zhenglong and Su Yuexi screamed out from different directions.
At that moment, Chu Rongxian looked at Su Zhenglong and laughed wickedly, "Su Zhenglong, I am not talking peace anymore. I want your wife..."
Before he could finish, Sikong Jing abruptly looked towards Sui Yu, "Kill him!"
Sui Yu smiled slightly and casually released a True Qi.
With a bang, the previously arrogant Luo Tong suddenly stiffened, his head shook violently.
The spectators around him saw, Luo Tong’s temples appeared to have been penetrated by something, vibrating from one side to another, blood gushing from both sides of his head.
Su Zhenglong and Su Yuexi, father and daughter, were stunned, bewildered, not knowing who had made the move.
The boastful Chu Rongxian’s voice caught in his throat; how had Luo Tong just died?
"It’s Su Yue Immortal, she must be nearby," Hai Ke hid in a corner and shouted, trembling all over.
Sikong Jing’s lips twitched slightly. What Su Yue Immortal? It was clearly Sui Yu, but of course, he wouldn’t explain. Instead, he pointed his long spear, "Chu Rongxian, you’ve lost your chance to negotiate."
