Chapter 246: Chapter 246 Ruler, Please Kill Him

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

The knife shadow was sharp. It spun whilst charging towards the sky. In an instant, it covered several thousand feet and chased the middle-aged spirit master, bringing with it vast knife energy as it chopped down.

A long horse slaying machete cut that already heavily hurt Xue surnamed middle-aged man into 2, blood light spurting all about.

Then, Zong Gang hollered, “Zhenshan Pass as been broken! If you don’t surrender today you will die!”

Astral energy-charged about, and a vast energy tang out of tens of miles around.

Not only were the soldiers and archers on the city wall totally silent, but even those who lined up and edited the camps, portion of which who had stepped on the city walls, also all stopped in their tracks. Their eyes were filled with shock and loss, not knowing how they should react. At this moment, although ten over a thousand of them were gathered, none of them dared to act. They couldn’t attack the three people over the city wall.

Hu Zhongyuan and Tan Tao followed closely behind and stepped into the city gates. The former swept the scenes within and knew that they had won, he couldn’t help but laugh out loud, “It feels so good to follow the prince! I knew the prince was intelligent, winning all battles. How wouldn’t he be able to take down the Zhenshan Pass!”

Zong Shou was just stepping on the city walls, regretfully keeping the cloud flame knife in his hand. Zong Gang and Zong Yuan really knew how to steal the spotlight. He was originally prepared to show his majesty, killing the remaining 2 people. He wanted people to say that “prince Zong claims the pass at night, god knife killing 3 Xuanwu”. This way, Zong Yuan’s Ruohai Straits achievements wouldn’t overshadow his. Who knew these two fellows both acted to break his dream, how annoying.

However, when he heard what Hu Zhongyuan spoke, he couldn’t help but burst out laughing. This fellow was sucking up again.

Winning all battles, he wasn’t that skilled yet. As for being intelligent, it didn’t have much to do with him.

He looked at his hand deep in thought, his eyes shining a weird glow. This luck praying talisman along with his six gods defensive knife technique was actually terrifyingly strong.

A top martial arts technique along with a bit of luck helped to raise the killing strength and accuracy of his cloud flame flying knife by at least one time!

If it was him before, at most he would give that middle-aged spirit master light injuries, not humiliating the term of being a sure hit was not bad already.

However, just now not only were 2 Xuanwu ancestors killed in one knife, and even that Return to Sun spirit master couldn’t avoid being heavily injured.

“Previously, when the six gods defensive knife technique was trained to the end, it was an earth crushing level technique, but with this luck prying technique, it might even have a chance of reaching the heaven shocking realm. Below the celestial realm, each knife would be fatal...”

Just as he thought about that, Zong Shou was suddenly awkward. Then he felt that Li Luo and Shi Dan arrived behind him.

He observed Li Luo who was covered in blood up and down. Although his injuries were heavy, it didn’t hit any crucial area. Only then did Zong Shou smile, “Thank you! It was all thanks to you just now!”

He reached out with his hand over You Wusheng’s corpse and obtained several pill bottles. Sweeping with his mental sense, the corner of his lips coldly raised upwards.

This You Wusheng was probably working for that Zong Shiyuan because of this stuff. That fellow was really willing to spend.

He didn’t take it to heart, casually throwing a golden pill bottle towards Li Luo.

The latter was shocked when he grabbed it, when he opened he was filled with loss, “this is dragon blood earth energy pill!”

His face showed his internal struggle. After a while, he exhaled deeply, “I can’t accept this item! The prince has already paid me my salary for protecting you at Jiefu City!”

Zong Shou slightly waved his sleeves, saying”it’s okay” before walking towards the middle-aged spirit master’s corpse in the distance.

Li Luo slightly hesitated before placing the pill bottle into his shirt, not rejecting it anymore.

Shi Dan’s heart jolted as she saw that. The earth energy pill was a saint item for earth chakra experts. This dragon blood earth energy pill was the creme of the crop. It was a mutated version from the earth energy pill, it’s medicinal properties were strong.

Not only could it 100% cause a 7 meridian Xuanwu ancestor raise a grade, but along with the use of some other spiritual herbs, one could get a thread of dragon blood, changing their potential, obtaining the strength of a god dragon which would hugely increase their power.

This Zong Shou didn’t even look at all and gave it to Li Luo. This magnanimity was truly what a ruler had.

Before this after the Ruohai Straits battle, Shi Dan thought Zong Shou was small-hearted and calculators when he dealt with money. Now, she had some understanding that when he needed to be generous, he really didn’t even hesitate.

Looking at Li Luo’s gaze, it was filled with respect. Maybe in the future days, even if Zong Shou didn’t join the common people path, he might just pledge loyalty to the prince.

Although there were thousands of soldiers around, Zong Shou didn’t care. He treated them like they didn’t exist as they walked into the city walls.

With Zong Yuan and Li Luo protecting beside him, there was indeed no need to be careful.

Just as they walked to the side of the city wall, horse rumbling sounds spread from the iron bridge. The thousand black fox iron cavalry, a mysterious armor wind dragon cavalry all surged over under the leadership of 2 Xuanwu ancestors.

Looking at the opened city gate, pretty much all of them were filled with disbelief.

This pass which was said that even hundreds of thousands of people couldn’t break was actually swiftly broken by just a few of them.

If one talked about miracles, then all of them had just witnessed one at the Ruohai Straits.

However, these 2 thousand people were all well trained. After being slightly shocked, they all came back to their senses.

They all surged in from the city gates, the 2 thousand cavalry all rumbled into the city. Their eyes were ice-cold, looking at the sides with killing intent.

“Kill anyone that doesn’t surrender!”

A few loud roars totally sounded out in the pass. It forcefully suppressed the whistle of Zong Gang. The sounds reverberating and appearing a lot sharper.

However, in the next instance, they heard several ringing sounds. Tens of people placed down their weapons. Then, just like a virus, the 25 thousand people in the pass all threw their weapons away.

Zong Shou grinned, looking down from the city wall, especially at the corpse of the middle-aged spirit master.

Currently, Tan Tao was searching the corpse. A moment later his expression slightly changed.

“Prince, this person has the sky fox Monster body, he seems to be someone from the 8 tail sky fox Xue family!”

After he finished, he took several items and jumped onto the city wall. Zong Gang and Zong Yuan’s expression changed. Then, they also leapt onto the city wall.

What the middle-aged spirit master was left with just talismans as well as commonly used pills.

After Zong Shou took the items, he naturally placed them into his sleeves.

The last one was a book which wrote “washing the world with snow”, 4 big golden words.

“Wash the world with snow?” So it really is people from the Xue family.”

Zong Shou recognized this item. This cultivation method was the technique the 8 tail sky fox Xue family used to stun the cloud world. It was a rarely seen martial and spiritual cultivation technique...

He casually flipped through it and noticed that it was just a draft. Moreover, there were cultivation techniques before the day wandering realm. The contents seemed to be obviously muted.

Taking a look, he wasn’t interested in it anymore and tossed it to Zong Gang. This book was of no use to him. But to Zong Gang and Ruoshui who were dual cultivators, it could be useful.

When Zong Gang closely flopped the book, and his expression was really ugly.

Tan Tao took a deep breath, “prince, it seems like it is the 8 tail sky fox Xue family are behind Zong Shiyuan. In the future, our Gentian Mountain needs to be wary of them. This Monster race royal family left this world to avoid calamity. Now they still want to return to take the throne and rule over us. There isn’t such a good thing in the world!”

Xuan Mountain City was where monsters and humans coexisted. However, most of them were half monsters. Tan Tao was also mixed blood which was why he was filled with hate as he spoke.

“Scoff! Zong Shiyuan really deserves to die.”

Hu Zhongyuan felt similarly, “He really doesn’t know he’s leading a wolf into the house? What a fool.”

Tan Tao and he originally didn’t get along, but in the battle today, they all went all out and the coordination formed a miraculous bond.

A pass defended by 3 Xuanwu ancestors and a Return to Sun realm spirit master was actually broken by them in one shot. The pride and happiness still hadn’t decreased. His impression for Tan Tao also changed slightly.

This fellow not only knew how to scheme and plot, but he was willing to spill fresh blood and sacrifice his life.

When he heard that, he looked towards Tan Tao who he felt looked more and more appealing to the eye.

Zong Yuan was deep in thought, “I know the power behind Zong Yang. It’s the 15th spiritual house. As for Zong Shi, if my guess is correct, it would be the 2nd spiritual house Daoming Sect. Along with this 8 tail Xue family. Overlord Duke and Qiu Wei’s position, although isn’t worrying, but they are under a lot of pressure.”

The overlord duke he referred to was Hu Qianqiu. Gantian Mountain had a few appointments, Zong Weiran would strange the elites and experts to various ranks.

The iron tiger race leader would be the hereditary overlord duke.

Tan Tao eyes showed an appreciative expression. Out of the few Zong Shou’s subordinates, the only one he held high hopes for was Zong Yuan.

“We can’t in fact stay here for too long. If we could it’s best if we rush to Gantian Mountain. If we are fast, we will be able to lock down the news and might attack them by surprise!”

As he said that, he hesitated once more. Following which he suddenly bowed towards Zong Shou, “prince! The 3 thousand soldiers on the city wall, prince please slay them!”

Zong Gang and the others were all shocked, following which they descended into silence.

The elite soldiers within Zhenshan Pass were mostly taught by Zong Weiran. They were far from You Wusheng’s personal troops, and to a certain extent, they were directly taught by Zong Weiran.

The people all saw that if it wasn’t for You Wushuang forcing them, these archers definitely wouldn’t fire at Zong Shou.

If he killed them all, it was a little cruel.

But if one thought about it, if traitors don’t pay the prince, what if people copied and shot arrows at the prince?
