Chapter 1044  : Retribution

All the Ghost Shadow Guards were dead, and only Xie Jinnian was left beside Zongzheng Ming.

Xie Jinnian didn’t know martial arts, so he clearly couldn’t protect himself.

Zongzheng Ming could not help but feel flustered. However, he had been the monarch for more than 30 years and had seen many storms. He had also trained his temperament to be extraordinary.

He quickly suppressed this panic.

He began to recall why Jade-faced Rakshasa wanted to assassinate him.

He didn’t remember doing anything to offend the other party, and he clearly remembered that the rule of the Assassin Alliance was not to kill the employer.

“Jade-faced Rakshasa.” He decided to negotiate with the other party first. “I have no grudge against you. Why are you killing me? If someone gave your Assassin Alliance silver, I’ll give you ten times the amount.”

Su Xuan said coldly, “You’re not worthy.” Zongzheng Ming frowned.

Xie Jinnian looked at Su Xuan deeply.

Zongzheng Ming thought for a moment and said, “Or if you want to be an official, I can give you an official position. It’s not impossible for you to be a king with a different surname.”

The most important thing now was to stabilize this assassin. As for what price he would pay, that was something that could be fulfilled after taking back the throne.

Su Xuan looked at him in disgust and couldn’t be bothered to waste his breath on him. He raised the Rakshasa Sword and slashed at him.

“Leave him alive!”

Ning Rufeng stepped into the air and descended from the sky, blocking Su Xuan’s killing move.

When the weapons met, Ning Rufeng finally felt how much strength Su Xuan had used.

There was no need to resort to that to deal with an ordinary person.

How much killing intent did this kid have?

Ning Rufeng said seriously, “Junior Brother! You can’t kill him!”

Su Xuan asked coldly, “What if I insist on killing him?”

Ning Rufeng said with a complicated expression, “I can only stop you!”

Su Xuan said mockingly, “Can Senior Brother stop me on your own?”

Ning Rufeng opened his mouth. “The entire Assassin Alliance will stop you!”

Su Xuan sneered. “Not only is the Assassin Alliance in the business of snatching people, but they’re also benevolent and have started a business of saving people? When did you change the rules? You even want to protect your employer?”

Ning Rufeng wanted to say something but hesitated. He glanced at Su Xuan and said, “You’ve already violated the rules of the Assassin Alliance by interfering in Wei Xu’s matter. If you assassinate your employer again, where will the credibility of the Assassin Alliance be if word gets out? I’ll go to Master to plead for you on Wei Xu’s matter. If you’re obedient, I can even cover it up for you. Don’t make mistakes again and again. If you kill your employer, you’ll be executed by the Assassin Alliance!” Su Xuan said word by word, “Move aside.” Ning Rufeng frowned. “Junior Brother!” “I said, move aside!”

Su Xuan slapped Ning Rufeng’s chest.

Ning Rufeng was caught off guard and was sent flying. He knelt on one knee and used his long sword to draw a ten-foot-long ravine on the ground before stabilizing himself.

His junior brother was serious…

Su Xuan said to Xie Jinnian, “Get out of the way too, or I’ll kill you too.”

Zongzheng Ming clenched his fists. To him, Jinnian was loyal. He would not dodge.

Xie Jinnian silently dodged.

Zongzheng Ming was speechless.

Zongzheng Ming panicked and reached out to stop Su Xuan. “Don’t kill me! I’ll give you whatever you want!”

Su Xuan slashed down and cut off his tendons.

Zongzheng Ming let out a miserable scream.

Hot blood splattered across Su Xuan’s face. He did not even blink and continued to stare at him. He was like a demon from purgatory and a malicious ghost that wanted his life.

Su Xuan raised his hand and broke the tendons in his other hand.

Ning Rufeng frowned.

What was wrong with his junior brother?

Instead of killing Zongzheng Ming directly, he was torturing him.

Zongzheng Ming had suffered a lot among the commoners, but it was not to the extent of being skinned alive. After that, he had been the monarch for decades. He lived a carefree life. When had he ever suffered any pain?

The tendons in his hands were severed one after another, and it was simply so painful that he was in pain. He fell to the ground in a sorry state, and the entire ferry was filled with his miserable screams.

Ning Rufeng flashed over and stood in front of Zongzheng Ming. “Junior Brother!”

Unfortunately, Ning Rufeng was no match for Su Xuan.

Su Xuan forced him back with a move before stabbing his sword into Zongzheng Ming’s thigh!

Zongzheng Ming screamed at the top of his lungs. The immense pain and humiliation in his body made it impossible for him to maintain the dignity of a kinz.

Tears and blood flowed out.

But all of this was far from over.

Su Xuan slashed again and cut off his hamstring.

Ning Rufeng was shocked.

What grudge did his junior brother have with Zongzheng Ming? Was he so ruthless?

He had only nodded his head when he killed, but his junior brother looked like he did not want Zongzheng Ming to die easily.

It was as if dying just like that was too easy on him.

Although Zongzhengm Ming planned to start a war with the Su family’s army, didn’t they not fight yet?

How did his junior brother do it… as if Zongzheng Ming had killed his entire family?

In the story of the storyteller, not only was he humiliated with the princess, but he was also slaughtered. The Matriarch was also forced to beg for food on the streets, and the mistress of the family was kidnapped to the military camp to be humiliated.

Su Xuan held the bloody sword and looked down at the struggling Zongzheng Ming.

As Xie Jinnian looked at Su Xuan, a thought-provoking glint flashing across his eyes.

Su Xuan’s longsword gestured at Zong Zhengming, as if he was looking for a better place to attack.

Zongzhengm Ming was bold enough, but at this moment, in front of this young man with a face full of blood but a calm expression, his psychological defense was completely defeated.

The man in white did not only cut off his tendons, but also his dignity and pride.

He lay on the ground and looked at Su Xuan pleadingly. “Let me go… I beg you.. let me go…”

Su Xuan slowly stepped on his ankle.

Crack!

Zong Zhengming fainted from the pain.

Su Xuan stepped on another one.

Crack!

Zongzheng Ming woke up from the pain again.

He roared crazily, “Jade-faced Rakshasa, you won’t die a good death!”

At this moment, a warship suddenly drove over from the water.

“Fire!”

Accompanied by the order of the people on the ship, ten arrows shot towards Su Xuan.

Su Xuan turned around and raised his sword, breaking all the cold arrows that flew over.

At the same time, two experts used their qinggong and rushed over. They carried ZongZheng Ming back to the warship.

Not all the troops of the six tribes had been moved north. There were still some who had to guard the camp.

This warship came from the Vermillion Bird Division under the Ji family.

Su Xuan chased after him, but Ning Rufeng opened his arms and stopped him.

He threw away his sword and looked at Su Xuan sincerely. “Junior Brother! This is the end! No matter how the King of the Southern Wilderness offended you, you’ve already taken revenge! Look, you’ve crippled him! He won’t be able to recover for the rest of his life! Don’t be stubborn anymore! There are more than a hundred sailors on the ship. Do you really think your strength is endless?”

Su Xuan walked away.

Ning Rufeng gritted his teeth. “Junior Brother! You’ll regret it!”

The warship quickly retreated.

Seeing that Su Xuan actually wanted to board the ship, the general on the ship ordered the arrows to be released again.

This time, there was no need to be wary. All the archers were deployed.

An overwhelming number of arrows shot towards Su Xuan.

As Su Xuan slashed down the arrow, he quickly jumped up on the waves.

Under everyone’s shocked gazes, he landed steadily on the deck of the warship!

The archers drew their bows and aimed at him. There was no fear in Su Xuan’s eyes as he said coldly, “Hand him over.”

A green-robed man walked out of the cabin.

The navy on the ship automatically made way for him.

He looked at Su Xuan’s side profile and said calmly, “Ninth Junior Brother.” Ning Rufeng held his forehead.

“I already told you not to go up.. Sixth Senior Brother is here to catch you!”
