346 The Rise and Fall of the Royal City (Seventy-Four Chapters)
His calm gaze suddenly accelerated, and he arrived in front of Young Master Hu in an instant. The blade roared with the sounds of dragons and tigers, and the power of the thunder and fire was so strong that it turned black.
He slashed at the young master of the tiger's body without any mercy, cutting him in two neat, even halves from top to bottom, leaving him horrified.
I can't believe I died like this. I was so cute and beautiful. Any human who saw me would want to take me back. My value would be immeasurable. How could anyone bear to kill me so cruelly?
Only the final, unspoken threat seemed to say, 'Father will never let you go.'
The two enormous tiger carcasses, fallen to the ground, lay silently. No matter how glorious they had been before, they were now just a few feet away in the yellow earth.
With the gentleman's knife in hand, a faint dragon's roar emanated from its blade before fading into silence. It hung gracefully at his waist, perfectly in harmony with his form.
[Kill Points increased by 1500!]
[Kill Points increased by 1500!]
The two beams that passed before my eyes, as expected, meant that if someone was stronger, they would give me tens of thousands of dollars.
For example, an ordinary person's cultivation level will always be five or ten points; it won't decrease as their cultivation level increases or decrease as their cultivation level decreases. It's really tempting.
With a clear and tranquil mind, I adhered to my true self and acted according to my heart. Standing alone in silence, I gazed at the destroyed crops before me, a touch of regret in my heart.
Destruction is indeed easier than anything else.
Yun Baiyi waited quietly. The night breeze was cool, blowing away the dust, the uneven ground, and the damaged farmland and crops. What a waste!
In the distance, Zhang Dazhuang and his group arrived unhurriedly. Yun Heiyi was carried on a stretcher and sat simply. His face had already regained some color.
Zhang Dazhuang stepped forward and whispered, "Son-in-law, the two who escaped have been killed."
He nodded. "Okay. Thank you for your hard work tonight."
A figure descended from the sky, graceful and light, like willow catkins dancing in the wind. Her clothes fluttered in the breeze, like the wings of a fairy. Her long hair flowed in the wind, like black clouds. Dressed in a brocade court robe, she was capable and efficient, and quickly arrived at her lover's side.
"Greetings, Miss!" Yun in black, Bai in white, and the others called out in unison.
Upon seeing the visitor, he smiled gently, "The general in black is injured and needs to rest well. I'll trouble Su'er to take care of the details."
He nodded slightly, walked over to Yun Heiyi's side, and asked her in a low voice.
She took out a jade bottle containing a pill and gently instructed him to take it. Yun Heiyi didn't stand on ceremony and said in a low voice, "Thank you, Miss."
Then she added softly, "Miss, it seems no other demonic beasts dare to come here for the time being. Miss and Young Master, please go back and rest. We'll handle the rest of these miscellaneous matters."
Yun Su thought for a moment, nodded in agreement, and said softly with concern, "You should go and rest well first. We'll discuss this matter again once you've recovered. For now, defense is the priority."
"Yes, Miss," Yun Heiyi replied.
Yun Baiyi came to his side and quickly explained to Yun Heiyi and the others.
Upon hearing this, the pressure on Yun Heiyi involuntarily and slowly dissipated. With an adult present, he finally felt at ease. Having someone to rely on made other forces think twice.
After thinking for a moment, he whispered what he was thinking, "Judging from the current situation, this tiger demon tonight doesn't seem to have been instigated by anyone. It seems more like it was arrogant and charged headlong into the tiger's lair."
If he had been instigated to come, the young master of the Tiger Clan probably wouldn't have come at all; in fact, he would likely have been more cautious and done some preliminary investigations beforehand.
Zhang Dazhuang remained silent. The life-or-death struggle had dampened his initial surge of pride. Although he was stronger than others, the innate toughness of the demon beast's physique and its own supernatural abilities made it difficult to defeat it.
I used to think that if I became a Martial King, I would definitely kill all the monsters and build a peaceful village.
We must build a village that is free from attacks by monsters, evil spirits, and ghosts.
Yesterday's weight, the dreams of the past, viewed in the present, now, I've achieved much and seen much more. Yet, they remain elusive.
However, he quickly came to terms with it, thinking, "Becoming a Martial King is already a rare achievement, and this exhilarating feeling is truly wonderful."
Besides, with her son-in-law, this place is exactly what she expected. In fact, it's even better than she imagined.
Yun Su looked at the man, the breeze seemed to transform into invisible currents, gently blowing the hem of her lover's clothes, and she looked up at the fertile land destroyed by the violent force.
His figure did indeed appear somewhat lonely at that moment. Seeing this, I felt a strange pang of heartache.
A figure dedicated to the well-being of all people is slowly emerging, and it is not simply about being willing to sacrifice everything for the well-being of others.
His figure appeared somewhat lonely, as if he were grieving the destruction of the crops in the field. He also seemed unwilling to manage trivial matters, delegating them entirely to his subordinates.
I don't know if it's the happiness and excitement of this trust, or a sense of helplessness about it.
Suddenly, he thought of the Holy Emperor. No wonder his father so highly praised the Holy Emperor; the Holy Emperor's orders were always strictly obeyed. He didn't respect any of the other princes except for the Holy Emperor.
He sighed inwardly, 'Heaven and earth are silent, yet calamities continue. Slaughter is relentless, and the strong defy the heavens!'
Sometimes I would see my father looking at the man in the royal city with an admiring gaze.
The holy emperor in the capital city, though lacking arrogance, confidence, and imposing presence, did possess a trace of compassion and detachment towards the current situation, along with a hint of weariness after the carnage.
'In the end, he couldn't withstand the test of time.' This was the image of the sage emperor I once held for him. Now, looking at my lover again, I find it utterly laughable. How could I possibly belittle myself in the way the sage emperor did?
For example, if it weren't for her lover's help, how could she have started such a primary school in this border region? She would carefully cross the river, one step at a time, and there would surely be a sturdy rope above her that she could hold onto at any time.
Otherwise, in the river's undercurrents and deep waters, one could easily sink to the bottom without a sound.
Even if you tie your own rope, if it's not strong enough and someone with ill intentions cuts it, it's the end of your life. So-called grand ambitions and great undertakings cannot be changed in the slightest by things you disapprove of.
For some reason, I recalled the stories of herb gatherers I had heard. Why were they all about fathers and sons, and not other people? Why was it always one person going down and the other going up, taking turns?
Instead. Wouldn't it have been more profitable if both of them went down at the same time? Thinking about it now sends chills down my spine.
One person shouldn't enter a temple alone, two people shouldn't look into a well together, three people shouldn't hug a tree together, and one shouldn't think too deeply or ponder too much.
I shook my head slightly. Indeed, one must read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles to truly understand the hardships of life.
"The strong settle disputes and stop conflicts; the victor sets the rules!" This sentiment is profound.
No wonder, even my father was a little anxious after the Holy Emperor disappeared for a while. Just like here, with my lover here, he is the anchor of stability.
