Chapter 562: Huo Ziheng doesn’t even bother to take their lives
The entrance to the Huo family's courtyard was crowded with people.
All the villagers came, including men, women, old, young and children.
Standing in the center of the blockade and looking around, every face was filled with anger and indignation.
When they saw the old monster Du appear, the hearts of the people from the seven countries shrank.
The poison is invulnerable and he is really still alive.
But after such a big commotion and lasting for such a long time, almost all the familiar faces appeared, except Bai Yu and Su Jiuni, who never showed up.
Wen Renjing closed his eyes, a bitter taste in his mouth.
Clenching his fists to calm himself, Wen Renjing bowed again, half-bowed forward, and spoke loudly, "For our past mistakes, we are burdened with sins. We dare not ask for forgiveness, sir. Whether to beat us or kill us is entirely up to you! But now the situation in the Central Plains is urgent. Nan Sang's ambitious war has plunged the people of the world into dire straits and made their lives miserable! Please, sir, for the sake of the innocent people, save this world!"
He pursed his lips and straightened up. "When the world is settled, no matter what price you ask us to pay, we will do it! Today, Wen Renjing cut off his arm in front of you to prove his oath! In the future, you can take my life at any time!"
After he finished speaking, he drew out the sharp blade from his waist. Silver light flashed in the air and blood splattered everywhere.
A piece of an arm fell to the ground soaked with sewage, wrapped in half a wide purple satin sleeve, and was covered in blood.
The noise suddenly died down.
Wen Renjing's movements were so fast that people were caught off guard.
By the time the people around him reacted, his left arm was already empty.
Not to mention that the surrounding villagers were stunned by his ruthlessness, even people like Emperor Dong Pu who were used to seeing storms were shocked for a moment.
The Emperor of Dongpu was hoarse, "The King of Mobei——"
Wen Renjing pressed two acupuncture points on the severed arm to stop the bleeding. His face turned pale with pain, and beads of cold sweat oozed from his forehead. "One arm cannot atone for sin. I, Wen Renjing, once had ambitions to dominate the world, and I'm sure you all do too. We come to you today, begging for mercy. Although we are ordinary people, isn't it because we are at a disadvantage and have been forced into a desperate situation? Mr. Huo is a man of great insight. Those high-sounding words will only pollute his ears if they fall into his ears."
The pain from the wound was so severe that his face paled even further as he spoke, his eyelashes wet with cold sweat. "Wenren's broken arm is both a testament to my sincerity in coming to you for help and a way to end my own ambition. I beg you... to have mercy on me and save the lives of the people in this world from suffering!"
There was silence all around.
Madam Huo stood at the gate of the yard, watching the scene coldly, without any emotion.
The dog blood, poisonous insects brought by the boys and girls, as well as the old man's laxatives were waiting on the side.
The villagers who were surrounding the Huo family did not retreat. Although they had calmed down temporarily, they were still determined to protect the Huo family. As long as Mrs. Huo shouted, they would immediately drive these bastards out.
"Da Huang, see there are some bones on the ground! Hurry up and pick them up and eat them!"
When everyone heard the sound and looked, they found that the poisonous old man who was originally in the encirclement had slipped out at some point and dragged back a big yellow dog.
"Da Huang, you little greedy cat, come on! Don't you listen to grandpa? Go! That's meat raised by eating delicacies from mountains and seas, it's so delicious!" The old man patted the dog's neck, and his triangular eyes staring at the broken arm were brighter than a dog's eyes.
Everyone: “…”
Emperor Dong Pu quickly picked up the broken arm from the ground before the dog could reach him and hid it behind him. He said helplessly, "Old Du, please show mercy."
"You know Grandpa? But Grandpa doesn't know you!" The poisonous old man grinned and laughed twice, then stopped laughing. The old monster's ferocity reappeared after a long time, "No mercy!"
But the old man was fierce and Dahuang was timid. Dahuang howled twice and ran away with its tail between its legs.
The old man stood up angrily, put his hands on his hips and yelled at the dog's butt, "Grandson! You are really promising!"
The solemn scene was abruptly destroyed by the old man, and the emotions were stuck in the air, neither angry nor funny.
There was no movement in the Huo family yard.
Wenren Jing struggled to stand there, black stars beginning to flash before his eyes.
Emperor Feng Lan took a deep breath, walked over to him, and pulled out a prepared dagger from his waist. "Mr. Huo, I, Feng Lan, was also involved in the Huo family tragedy. Before I came to ask for help, I was already prepared to offer my life. The decision to involve Feng Lan was made by me alone. I hope that my life can dispel some of the hatred in your heart and give my Feng Lan nation a chance to survive!"
Emperor Dong Pu was overwhelmed. He snatched the dagger away and shouted, "Are you two only thinking of self-harm to atone for your sins? None of us came here today because we are afraid of death! But the Huo family tragedy has already happened. Even if we are all dead, time cannot be turned back! If we really want to pay off our debts and eliminate our sins, it is better to stay alive and do more good for the people! With our status and position, as long as Mr. Huo asks, we can do anything he wants! If we die, who will do the work? I believe Mr. Huo would prefer us to repay in this way!"
"Speaking of urgency, none of you are more anxious than I am. I have already lost half of my Dongpu." The Emperor of Dongpu's eyes were bloodshot, and he smiled sadly. "Inside Yanwei Pass, Chicheng, Yancheng, Fancheng... there are corpses and cries everywhere. I wish I could drive the Nansang army out of the country immediately. If you have to beg me for my life, I can die now. It's just one life. But do you want it, Mr. Huo?"
The emperors were speechless.
Huo Ziheng has six disciples, each of whom is very talented.
Nangong Qingyu, an abandoned child of the royal family, fought his way through the blood and seized the throne of Dai Yue with his own strength.
Bai Yu would have kept quiet, but when he really started, he built a killing hall overnight, took the head of Emperor Nansang, picked on the cracks between the countries, and played with them in his hands with ease.
Su Jiuni has a calm personality and doesn't like intrigue. She can defeat anyone with her force alone, and her straightforward approach makes other countries shudder at her.
Although the three younger generations of the Su family have achieved less, they are all outstanding in their respective fields.
If Huo Ziheng really wanted revenge and wanted their lives, he only needed to tell his disciples, and they would have turned to dust long ago.
Huo Ziheng didn't even bother to take their lives.
After realizing this, several people's shoulders slumped and their bodies became dejected.
Is there really no way out?
I ran here with a glimmer of hope, but now that hope is shattered, the overflowing despair is so fierce that it can drown people.
While the emperors of the seven kingdoms were feeling grief-stricken, they suddenly heard light footsteps from behind the courtyard wall.
The steps are not heavy, but steady.
Emperor Dong Pu and the others were stunned, and their gray eyes slowly lit up again.
"Huo Ziheng, what are you doing out here? Go back! I won't let you be soft-hearted!" Madam Huo turned around immediately when she heard the footsteps, looked at the man walking slowly towards her, and said angrily through gritted teeth.
The man smiled at her, as gentle as before, but his face was a little paler than before. "Ah Xian, let me say a few words to them."
Whenever he smiled like this, she always found it hard to refuse.
Mrs. Huo was angry at herself for being incompetent, but she still gave way to the man.
