Chapter 256 - A Sin Too Big to be Pardoned
“I would only like to say that my father’s personality and mine are slightly different…”
When those ten over elders heard that, they didn’t understand, looking towards Zong Shou at a total loss.
In the next instance, Zong Shou laughed out coldly, “Uncle Qiu, Uncle Hu, let them attack and cut people. No matter which family, no matter what identity, kill them all. Within Gantian Mountain, anyone that dares rebel against me will all be killed! Today, we can’t be biased.”
The moment he said that, not only did those ten over elders felt like they had heard things wrongly, but even Qiu Wei was stunned on the spot. Even with his shrewdness and intelligence, he didn’t know how to react. He didn’t know whether or not he should try to persuade or to follow the orders.
Even Hu Qianqiu hesitated. The 3 thousand wind splitting mo knife soldiers didn’t make a move. Zong Shou’s brows were locked tight. In the next instance, he smacked the grade 4 Windrider foal under him. In just a few breaths he crossed hundreds of feet, reaching the front of those panicky looking sky fox race members.
The lightning winged sword in his hand slashing as he beheaded one of them, splitting head and body into two! Then, that Windrider foal stood up on 2 legs and stepped down with its hooves. The grade 4 war horse’s majestic body was filled with a few million kilograms of strength, directly smashing the head of another person into meat paste.
Zong Shou turned around suddenly, his eyes filled with rage, “I said attack! Did the 2 of you not hear me?”
That Qiu Wei was jolted back to his senses. After being chided by Zong Shou, not only was he not annoyed, but his eyes grew bright, filled with joy.
Hu Qianqiu sighed before grinning. Following which he hollered towards his men, “You brats, are you deaf or mute? Haven’t you heard what the prince said? Why aren’t you chopping them up?”
Qiu Wei politely bowed towards Zong Shou, “Qiu Wei heeds your order!”
Those ten over Zong family race elders felt rage attack their hearts as they pointed right at Zong Shou, their bodies trembling continuously.
It was still that white-haired old man which reacted quickly, his voice stammering, “Stop! Stop! Prince are you crazy? Don’t forget that we are your blood relatives. Moreover, our sins don’t mean that we have to die. I will let them apologize to you, please prince be merciful and let them live!”
Those close to a thousand Zong family people were totally in panic and fear. Originally, most of them looked down on Zong Shou when he looked at them. Only then did they realize that this thin and weak looking teen was already above all in Gantian Mountain, whose words were the law. If he wanted to kill them, he just needed the thought.
Zong Shou, at the side, laughed out without making a sound. The chill in his gaze slowly retreated. Just as the 10 over elders relaxed slightly and thought that they had some hope.
Zong Shou’s lightning winged sword waved towards the side, another snow colored sword light slashed across. Another head flew up, tumbling around on the ground.
This sword was like a signal. Those 2 thousand iron tiger halberd warriors, 3 thousand wind splitting mo knife warriors all started attacking expressionlessly. Waving their halberds and mo knives, striking out cleanly. In just that instance, 5 thousand heads fell to the ground. They were all experts trained on the battlefield, and they acted without any hesitation. Most people cried out in pain but were unable to make a noise.
The area in front of Zong Shou was instantly dyed red.
All of a sudden, a blood light surged into the heavens within this ten miles area, a vengeful aura boiling. Hundred thousand armored warriors nearby including those hundred over thousand eye wolf troops were all silent.
The people in front of him were all people with a bit of power within Gantian Mountain city. They were all born in rich families. A few of them were from aristocratic families, and their backgrounds were unusual.
At this moment they were like dogs, all of them killed in this area. To everyone here, it was an unimaginable blow to their heart.
When they looked towards Zong Shou once more, they only felt that this prince seemed a little taller. He still gave off no aura and internal energy but there was a pressure which made it tough for one to disregard him.
Those 10 over elders were unable to make a sound, shocked as they looked at those corpses. A few of them couldn’t help but tear up.
It was Zong Gang who smiled brightly right away, “I Zong Gang have followed the ruler since I was 26, fighting with him for 10 years. However, I have never felt so good killing like today! How delightful! The prince and the ruler are indeed different. Why not we kill all those direct bloodline people!”
That gaze of that red-faced old man constricted once more. Following which he said hysterically, “Zong Shou you are crazy! You all are crazy! They are all the elites of our Zong Family. Their bloodline was naturally several times purer than your branch bloodline, 3 tails at birth! Bastards like you dare to attack. I will invite the race uncle. If I Zong Rui dies, you won’t become the race leader!”
That white mustache old man’s face was dark. His gaze was as dark as a knife which stabbed towards Zong Shou, “The prince is vicious, killing his relatives. It isn’t the blessing of the Zong Family. I will ask the race uncle to remove you as the heir to the family! Not to mention becoming the monster king, you can forget about continuing as a prince!”
When his words were said out, 2 people pounced towards Zong Shou like crazy tigers, their faces filled with a frenzied violent intent.
However, before they even got close, Zong Gang had leaped over with his horse. The mo knife in his hand swept out with lightning-quick speed.
Only to hear a loud clang. Zong Gang, Zong Gang was fixed on his horse whilst the other 2 were tossed backward, their faces flushing purple.
Zong Gang laughed coldly.
“You dare to assassinate the prince. This sin can’t be pardoned! Kill!”
The silver scale wind stepping beast under him stepped forward. One man and one horse with an afterimage knocked into the 2 of them. The mo knife waving, actually slicing the backs of the 2 Zong family race elders in the air, their bodies split into 2!
Zong Gang waved his knife once more, flicking away the blood on the knife. Pointing at the ashen white faces of the Zong family race elders, “What direct bloodline. It is meaningless. I have always been annoyed by all of you. If it wasn’t for the ruler stopping me, do you believe that I would be the first to wipe all of you out? If you want to remove him from prince then go ahead. The Zong family grand meeting, who knows who will win or lose. Let’s see whether or not my sky fox 800 thousand people or your direct bloodline has deeper roots. It is still my ruler who is better liked.
Zong Rui couldn’t speak anymore, under the suppression of this Zong Gang’s knife pressure, even opening his mouth was tough. Pretty much no one could have expected that Zong Gang was so bold and crazy to dare to kill sky fox race elders on the spot!
Zong Shou laughed involuntarily, Zong family grand meeting? He didn’t have the time. To settle this matter, there was a method which was several times simpler, so why did he have to choose such a problematic solution?
Oh right, who knows who that race uncle was, he didn’t even meet him before.
The grand elder was the leader of the race elders. The race magistrate was in charge of rewards and punishment. That race uncle was in charge of managing the ancestral temples and race produce, and his power was extremely heavy. It was taken up by people in the race who had the most prestige.
However, Zong Shou had never seen him before and didn’t even remember his name. He directly shook his head, “If you are unhappy you can call him over. Tell him that I will be waiting for him at Gantian Mountain peak…”
Whilst speaking, he was lazy to bother about these elders. Smiling as he took a look at that Ling Fakong and Ling Xuan. The two of them felt their hearts jump, once again lower their heads.
They were originally a little unhappy, this was pretty much a calamity towards the eye wolf race. However, at this moment their grievances had mostly disappeared. Towards his race, he punished them so heavily, much less the others.
Although the punishments were heavy, no one could say that he wasn’t fair.
Zong Shou looked towards Zong Hao and Zong Shiyuan at the end. The 2 of them were standing a little further, a thousand feet out. The latter was half-kneeling on the ground whilst Zong Hao’s expression fluctuated. A moment later, when he saw the corpses on the ground and then at Zong Yuan, he gritted his teeth. He jumped onto his horse once more and galloped towards the distance.
Zong Shou’s brows furrowed when he saw that, feeling slightly amused. This Zong Hao knew how to find a chance. He knew that he couldn’t fend off the enemy so he decided to give up, taking the risk to surrender. However, he left another way out which was not bringing Zong Yang over to surrender.
When he saw that he was so decisive in the killing, slaying close to a thousand Zong family people, he knew that he had no more hope of living and instantly fled.
However, wasn’t it a little too late?
“Zong Yuan!”
Before Zong Shou even gave an order, Zong Yuan’s dragon horn winged horse had charged out from the army.
He was staring at Zong Hao long ago. At this moment, under Zong Yuan’s control, that dragon horn winged horse was as swift as lightning. It instantly closed in by a hundred feet. Then, lightning gathered around the purple lightning spear in his hand. When 2 500 feet long lightning wings spread out by the spear body Zong Yuan tossed it out.
That purple lightning spear instantly accelerated to the maximum speed. The lightning power pushed it forwards before Zong Hao could even react, it had already pierced through him.
Zong Hao’s expression changed as he tried his best to dodge it. His shoulder was still pierced, and his body brought forwards by the momentum, pinning him right onto the ground in front.
Just as Zong Hao was feeling extreme pain, using all his energy to block that exploding lightning glow. Zong Yuan’s horse had already arrived in front of his body.
The horse knife in front of him flashing before he felt his eyes turn black. He couldn’t feel anything anymore. This knife started from his ears and passed his eyes, one knife slicing through his skull. Instantly, white liquid and blood spurted all over.
Zong Yuan didn’t even take a look, roaring towards the heavens, venting the rage and hatred in his heart.
That roar lasted a long time before slowly calming down. In the end, Zong Yuan rode the horse back by Zong Shou’s side, kneeling after he got off,” Zong Yuan has taken revenge. My wishes have been completed! From today on I will be the sword in prince’s hand, following your orders with no regrets!”
Zong Shou blinked his eyes and asked curiously, “I thought you would ask him about the past, about how your father died…”
“There’s no need!” Zong Yuan raised his head, he was expressionless, “I only need to know that the death of my father was because of this Zong Hao and his accomplices! No matter whether or not he was implicated, killing them all won’t be wrong.”
“Oh! This makes sense!”
Zong Shou broke out into a laugh, instructing him to rise. At this moment he was already by Zong Shiyuan’s side, looking down on this uncle.
