Chapter 91: Rather Die in Battle than Compromise!

  Xiao Zhen picked up three stones from the ground, and his right hand moved. The heavenly energy around his right hand surged, and the three stones seemed to have turned into gold, shining brightly. Xiao Zhen's right hand held the three stones, coldly staring at Shangguan Yu and the other two.

  But Shangguan Yu also felt that something was wrong, Xiao Zhen was a warrior of the Wang Ji realm, and it would be very difficult to escape from his hands. However, no matter how difficult it was, he couldn't give up. There were still many things waiting for him to do, and he couldn't die yet.

  "Whoosh"

  Three pebbles seemed to tear through the air, carrying an unbeatable sharpness, and sank into the heads of three horses. The speed of these three pebbles was much faster than the arrow feathers shot by Qin Shou, and their momentum was even more overwhelming. Xiao Zhen let out a cold hum, facing the killer of his son, he would not let the three of them die so easily.

  Bang

  The three horses all fell to the ground, fortunately, the three of them also reacted quickly. Shangguan Yu jumped off the horseback in the first time, and Qin Shou and Zhu Shoucheng did the same. However, there was no joy on their faces, because Xiao Zhen stood right in front of them.

  With this delay, the guards from the royal palaces in the rear also rushed over. With Xiao Zhen in front and the guards behind, the three of them were surrounded in the middle. Xiao Zhen was a martial artist at the Wang Ji boundary, and among those guards, there were also martial artists at the Hou Ji boundary.

  "What kind of people are you guys? Why are you chasing us three brothers for no reason?" Seeing that they really couldn't escape, Upper Official Yu had to grit his teeth and speak up.

  "Stop pretending to be loyal to me! You killed my beloved son, did you ever think there would be a day like today? Do you know that Xiao Yan was the one I loved most among all my sons? Why did you kill him?! My son has always been obedient and had no grudges against any of you, why did you still kill him?" Xiao Zhen roared.

  At this time, Shangguan Yu was not prepared to reason with Xiao Zhen either. Who is right and who is wrong, who can say accurately? In the world of martial artists, there is no such thing as right or wrong. Whoever has stronger strength, whoever has a bigger fist, whoever is right.

  However, Xiao Zhen's next words made Shangguan Yu stunned. He said, "Of course, I can also give you an opportunity. As long as you are willing to acknowledge me as your father, I will spare your lives!"

  At the sight of Shangguan Yu and Qin Shou's appearance, Xiao Zhen knew that they were absolutely not older than his son Xiao Yan. From this, it can be seen that Shangguan Yu and Qin Shou's talent is much higher than Xiao Yan's. If he could take these two young men as adopted sons, then Xiao Yan's death would not be a loss at all.

  Shangguan Yu couldn't imagine that someone's heart could be so cold-blooded. The death of his son, Di Shuo, didn't pain him; what pained him was only the loss of a highly talented descendant. It turned out that there were indeed all kinds of people in this world, and Shangguan Yu had gained some experience.

  "How's that? I'll give you time to think about it. If you want to live, you have to acknowledge me as your father. Otherwise, with your current level of martial arts skills, I can kill you all with just one slap!" Xiao Zhen said slowly.

  "I'd rather die than acknowledge a thief as my father! You think you can be my father? You're not even worthy of being compared to one of my father's fingers!"

  Qin Shou looked at Shangguan Yu with a strange gaze, and Shangguan Hong felt that it was impossible for Shangguan Yu to have such a high status in his heart. Indeed, Shangguan Yu was also an orphan, and in Qin Shou's heart, the image of his father was equally lofty.

  "Even if it were just one of my father's toes, it would be better than you! Do as you please, whether to kill or to cut!" Qin Shou also said with a very tough tone.

  "Right! Isn't he just a Town South King? What do we have to fear?! Even if you're a martial artist at the extreme of Wang Ji, what can you do to us?! We'll still dare to fight you! And even if it's death, 18 years later it will be another generation of heroes!"

  "Alright, alright!" Xiao Zhen's anger burned hotter, his voice growing even colder. "I had originally intended to spare your lives, but I didn't expect you to be so ungrateful! Since that's the case, then you no longer have any need to live either!"

  Xiao Zhen looked at the guards in the Wang Fu and pointed, "You guys make these three people useless for me, it doesn't matter if they are seriously injured or disabled, as long as you don't kill them. I still need to use them to sacrifice my son!"

  "Hmph, the Southern Barbarian King, I presume? Do you know who we are? You should at least know of the Zhen Wu Men! The three of us are all disciples of the Zhen Wu Men. If you kill us, the consequences will be more than a small king like you can bear!" Zhu Shoucheng finally spoke up.

  When he heard the three words "Zhen Wu Men", Xiao Zhen's pupils slightly contracted. "I don't resent Emperor Gu for not seeing me, I resent him for not knowing my abilities. When the heavens and earth are destroyed, the True Martial Emperor of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths will arrive!" The True Martial Emperor was a shocking genius, and the Zhen Wu Men he created has been passed down to this day. And the strength of the Zhen Wu Men is not something that a small Nanman kingdom can compare to.

  Xiao Zhen's eyes flashed with a fierce light, "You are disciples of the True Martial Gate? What proof do you have?"

  Before Zhu Shoucheng could speak, Xiao Zhen looked at the guards again and said, "Why haven't you taken action yet? These three people dared to impersonate true Wu Men disciples, it's a crime that cannot be forgiven."

  Zhu Shoucheng opened his mouth, he knew that no matter how much he said, it was useless. Shangguan Yu took out the You Long spear, even if there was no hope, he had to take a chance.

  "Qin Shou, brother, this might be our last time fighting side by side. I didn't expect that just on our first trip out for training, we'd encounter something like this. Brother, it seems we've dragged you into this mess."

  Upon hearing Shangguan Yu's words, Zhu Shoucheng merely smiled freely. "Junior brother is being overly cautious, there's no need to worry about implicating each other, let us fight one last time!"

  "That's right!" Qin Shou took out his bow and arrow, "Even if we die, we must die standing! We are disciples of the True Martial Gate, even in death, we cannot lose face for the True Martial Gate!"

  "Ten thousand miles of cloud-piercing arrows, one branch stands out alone, a string of pearls follows closely, three arrows are fired simultaneously!"

  Qin Shou initiated the attack, drawing his bow to its limit. Six arrowheads were aligned on the bowstring. The yuanqi in his hands poured into the arrowheads, and six arrows shot out simultaneously towards the guards opposite him. These six arrows formed a row, shooting past at an extremely fast speed.

  Xiao Zhen brought out a total of eighteen guards this time. Among them, four were Hou Ji Jing warriors, ten were Jiang Ji Jing warriors, and four were Bing Ji Jing warriors. Of the four Hou Ji Jing warriors, two were Gui Hou Jing and the other two were Ren Hou Jing.

  The four people in front were all warriors at the extreme of martial arts, and they were also existences as cannon fodder. Indeed, under Qin Shou's six arrows, these four people fell to the ground. They also played their role, dedicating their lives, allowing others to rush to the vicinity of the three Upper Officials Yu.

  "Bagua Swimming Dragon Gun!"

  Shangguan Yu also charged forward for a distance and stood together with the guards. As Qin Shou was an archer, he naturally needed to be protected from behind. Shangguan Yu grasped the You Long spear with both hands, blocking off the guards.

  One black and one white dragon rushed out, simultaneously engaging in battle with the four guards at the front. These four men were all martial artists of the Human General realm, attacking Yu Guan Yu together, who also felt a great deal of pressure.

  On the other hand, Zhu Shoucheng's pressure was even greater. The four Hou Ji Jing warriors all attacked him, and Zhu Shoucheng could hardly protect himself. The "Ling Wu Dao Fa" that Xu Mo used last time was this time used by Zhu Shoucheng.

  "The Lingwu Sword Method" in Zhu Shoucheng's hands also showed its due power, even when facing the four strong enemies, Zhu Shoucheng was able to hold his ground. Although Zhu Shoucheng's situation was very dangerous, although he had been defending more and attacking less, he indeed held off the four guards.

  "Whoosh"

  Four people who were fighting with Shangguan Yu, the boundary warrior, had two arrows pierced through their necks. The other two also had an arrow inserted in their arms, which was undoubtedly Qin Shou's masterpiece. Indeed, it is easy to dodge a visible spear but hard to defend against hidden arrows. Although they blocked Shangguan Yu's dragon gun, they failed to block Qin Shou's arrow feathers.

  Shangguan Yu was fighting the four guards in front, while Qin Shou had already pulled his bowstring taut. Qin Shou had been waiting for the best opportunity, and when it arrived, he would naturally shoot with the fastest speed. If he didn't shoot, then so be it; but if he did, he would definitely take someone's life!

  "The dragon rises from the depths!"

  The black and white twin dragons disappeared, replaced by a golden dragon. As soon as this dragon appeared, it instantly pierced the chest of a martial artist who was about to attack. Shangguan Yu looked at this guard coldly, his eyes filled with indifference.

  "Dragon's Tail Sweep!"

  While another guard was still reacting, the golden dragon moved again. The Yulong spear in Shangguan Yu's hand drew an arc, and the spearhead pierced the last person who had reached the boundary of Wu Zhe.

  Thus, the four human-shaped boundary guards fell. However, this not only failed to improve Yu's situation but also made his circumstances more perilous. Originally, the six guards behind could not join their battle circle, but now that the four human-shaped boundary warriors were dead, they could attack.

  Among the six guards, one Tianjiang realm warrior and two Dijiang realm warriors broke away to charge at Qin Shou. Meanwhile, another Tianjiang realm warrior led two Dijiang realm warriors to attack Shangguan Yu.

  Xiao Zhen coldly watched all of this, and for the dead guards, he not only wouldn't sympathize with them, but would instead scold them as useless. As the battle had progressed up until now, Xiao Zhen had also clearly understood the level of martial arts that Shangguan Yu's three people were at. Therefore, for the upcoming fight, he only needed to quietly observe and wait.

  In mid-air, the black-clothed man also saw all of this. "Hehe... Shangguan Yu, Shangguan Yu, I see how you're going to escape this time? With just your three such martial arts realms, wanting to escape is simply a dream!"
