Chapter Eighty-four: Pursuing Shangguan Yu!

  "Who are you? What do you want?" asked Shi Wei Ba.

  In front of the guard A Ba, there was a man in black, and the man in black even covered his face with a black cloth. This outfit was really too strange, under the bright daylight, wasn't this getup tantamount to telling others that he wasn't a good person?

  "Hmph, you'll soon find out what I'm going to do!" The man in black was naturally the same dark figure from before, and now he had caught up with the guard A Ba who had just left.

  A Ba took a detour on the small path, while Shangguan Yu and his two companions took the main road. As it turned out, they were all headed to the Nanman Kingdom, so Shangguan Yu didn't have much to worry about. The reason he spared Xiao Yan was not because of a sudden surge of kindness, but because he knew Xiao Yan wouldn't live for long anyway. That palm strike had landed squarely on Xiao Yan's chest, and as a warrior in the Tianbing realm, he couldn't withstand Shangguan Yu's attack.

  The man in black rushed towards the guard A Ba, and before A Ba could react, he directly hit A Ba's neck with a palm knife. The speed of this man in black was too fast, circling around to A Ba's back, A Ba had not even reacted yet.

  A Ba fell to the ground, while the man in black had A Ba on his shoulders. He quickly walked back the way he came, and soon saw Xiao Yan still far away.

  "Hum, you all wait for me, when I return to the palace, I will definitely ask my father to tear you into pieces! And that dog slave, after I go back, I will also make him suffer a miserable death! No, this is still not enough, I want to disable all of you and then torture you every day!"

  Xiao Yan cursed non-stop on the spot, spewing out all sorts of vicious words. Shangguan Yu had crippled him, and this blow was simply too great for him to bear. Suddenly, a series of footsteps came from behind him.

  Xiao Yan excitedly turned his head, not even noticing the pain on his body. "Father King, Father King, is that you?" Xiao Yan exclaimed excitedly. But when he saw the person in front of him, he was stunned.

  The person who appeared in front of Xiao Yan was the black-clothed man, and on his shoulder, he was carrying another person. The black-clothed man walked to Xiao Yan's side and directly threw the person on his shoulder beside Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan looked at the person who had been thrown over, and it turned out to be Shi Ba, the guard who had just left.

  "Who are you? What do you want?" Facing the man in black, Xiao Yan was terrified. The Gemini insect had already died, and soon, the King of Zhennan might arrive.

  "What's with you? Hmph!" The man in black sneered, "Naturally, I've come to take your life!"

  "No! Don't kill me, my father is the King of Zhen Nan. If you spare my life, I'll make sure you become rich and powerful. Whatever you want, I'll give it to you! Just please don't kill me, killing me won't do you any good." Xiao Yan was still trying to bribe him at this time.

  "King of Zhen Nan? Just a small dynasty! What I want, you can't provide. Go in peace, and next life, open your eyes wider!" The man in black had just finished speaking, when he took out a long gun and directly stabbed it into Xiao Yan's chest.

  "Huh......" Xiao Yan looked at the black-clothed man in incredulity, "Why... must... you kill me?"

  "Fine, die and make it clear. Only when you're dead can your father, the king, go crazy and avenge you by attacking those three people from earlier. Don't blame me, this is also a way for me to avenge you. The prince of the royal family should be a martial artist at the Wang Ji boundary, right? Killing those three people from earlier shouldn't be difficult." The man in black said with a sinister smile.

  Before Xiao Yan could react, the man in black directly drew out a long spear. "I don't have much time to waste here, I suppose your father the king will be arriving soon too."

  The man in black took another look at the dead Xiao Yan and the guard Ah Ba lying on the ground. He put away his long gun and chased after the direction where Shangguan Yu and the other two had left.

  One minute later.

  "Your Highness, something's gone terribly wrong!" a guard kneeling on the ground cried out in terror.

  "What's the hurry?" It was Xiao Zhen, the King of Southern Man, who spoke up. In the Southern Man Dynasty, his status was similar to that of Weiwu Wang of the Flying Feather Dynasty. The King of Southern Man looked like he was in his forties and was already a strong Ghost King realm expert.

  "Reporting to Your Highness, Young Master Xiao Yan and his seven guards are all dead. Only one guard is still breathing." The kneeling guard stammered.

  "What?! You scoundrel!" The King of Nanman kicked away the guard kneeling on the ground. Xiao Yan, as his son with the highest innate talent and also the one he valued the most, how could he be dead?

  That guard was kicked dozens of meters away, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground. The King of Southern Town didn't even glance at him, but instead continued walking forward. The other guards were also trembling with fear, not daring to breathe loudly.

  "Xiao Er, Xiao Er!" Zhen Nan Wang Xiao Zhen rushed over, he lifted up Xiao Yan's body and shook it violently. "Xiao Er, you can't die! You're your father's hope, how could you die?"

  Xiao Zhen's eyes were bloodshot, "Who exactly has a grudge against me and the Xiao family? How dare they kill my son! If I find out who did it, I'll tear them to pieces!" He put down Xiao Yan in his hand and stood up to observe the surroundings.

  Two guards were shot to death, and three guards were killed with a single punch. The other two guards died in the same way as Xiao Yan, all being shot to death by someone. Xiao Zhen looked at the sleeping guard A Ba, "Someone, wake this guard up for me!"

  Facing the furious Xiao Zhen, the guards naturally listened very carefully. However, after a moment, they woke up Guard A Ba. When Guard A Ba woke up, he looked around in a daze, and when he saw Xiao Zhen, his whole body was even more shocked.

  "Your Highness!" Eunuch Ah Ba knelt down on the ground, and he was still familiar with King Zhen Nan Xiao Zhen.

  "Hmm, tell me what the three people who killed my son look like? Which direction did they escape in?" Xiao Zhen's surface had already returned to calmness, but his voice carried a chilling coldness.

  Guard A Ba's heart was violently trembling, he didn't know how Xiao Zhen knew that Shangguan Yu and the others were three people. His eyes flickered a few times, "Reporting to Your Highness, at that time I was the first one to be knocked unconscious, so I basically didn't know what the specific situation was."

  "Crack!"

  "Ah......!" A shrill cry of despair rang out, followed by the sound of Abao's pained low growls. The hearts of all the guards were lifted up, and as they saw the situation before them, a chill ran through their minds.

  King of Zhen Nan, Xiao Zhen's right foot was stepping on the left hand of his guard, A Ba. It could be clearly seen that A Ba's left hand was bleeding. Xiao Zhen calmly withdrew his right foot and returned to his original position. A Ba's left hand had already become unrecognizable, as if it were a lump of rotten mud.

  "How dare you lie in front of me?! Your guts are quite big, I'll give you one more chance. If you don't tell the truth, I'll have your whole family sliced to pieces!" Xiao Zhen said in a deep voice.

  "'I dare not, I dare not,' Ah Ba said painfully. 'I am willing to draw the appearance of those three men and inform Your Excellency of the direction they left in, only please spare my family.'"

  "As long as you honestly tell the truth, I will naturally spare your whole family. Come, bring him a piece of paper and let him draw!" Xiao Zhen said in a low voice.

  A clever guard, seeing that no one else had any paper, tore off a large piece of white lining from inside his clothes. He knelt down on the ground and said, "Your Highness, we didn't bring any paper, I don't know if this piece of white cloth will do?"

  "Hmm, okay," Xiao Zhen looked at this guard with a hint of appreciation, "Give him that white cloth and have him draw those three people!"

  The guard got up from the ground, walked to Guard A Ba's side, and spread out a white cloth on the ground. Guard A Ba looked at this guard, opened his mouth, but didn't say anything. He dipped his right hand in the fresh blood on his left hand and started drawing on the white cloth.

  As a martial artist, Ah Ba's memory wouldn't be too bad. As for saying that he would alter the portraits of Shangguan Yu and the three others, Ah Ba didn't have such an idea at all. Although Shangguan Yu spared his life, if it weren't for Shangguan Yu, he also wouldn't have encountered this disaster.

  Before long, the portraits of Shangguan Yu, Qin Shou and Zhu Shoucheng were drawn. "Your Highness, these three are the murderers who killed Young Master! They went in this direction, seemingly heading to the Nanman Kingdom!"

  "Hmm, I see." But when Xiao Zhen took over the white cloth and took a look, his eyes widened. "Is it the three of them?!" Xiao Zhen exclaimed.

  When he arrived, Xiao Zhen also saw Shangguan Yu and the other two. Although Shangguan Yu and the other two had a bloody aura on their bodies, Xiao Zhen could never have imagined that those three were his child-killing enemies.

  "Now that my son is dead, what's the point of you still being alive?" Xiao Zhen kicked away the guard A Ba, "Let's go!"

  Guard A Ba also flew out dozens of meters away, he untied and smiled. Xiao Yan died, but Xiao Zhen came after him, then A Ba didn't expect to survive either.

  Xiao Zhen directly jumped onto the horse's back, "Leave some people to collect my son's body and bring it back to the palace. As for the other dead guards, just bury them on the spot! The rest of you, quickly follow me in pursuit, we must avenge my son by cutting those three murderers into pieces!"

  "Xiao Yu, isn't the capital of the Nanman Kingdom just up ahead? It looks like it's far inferior to our own Feathered City. I wonder how many beauties are inside the city." Of course, only Qin Shou could say something like that.

  Three people appeared at the gate of Nanman City, and Shangguan Yu also looked at the city wall of Nanman City. "Forget it, Flying Feather City will probably not be able to return for a long time."

  "I also want to see what kind of place Fei Yu City is, that it can produce two outstanding disciples like you two." Zhu Shoucheng also spoke up.

  As for Zhu Shoucheng's words, Qin Shou and Shangguan Yu also ignored them. Shangguan Yu took the lead in walking forward, "Let's go, we're entering the city!"
