Chapter 37 - Black Armored Cavalry Going for a Battle
Upon hearing this, both Uncle Zheng and Liu Yu were momentarily stunned at first.
The two turned their heads, looking shocked. After staring at Song Qi for a long time, they then said slowly, “This… how is this possible?”
“Pardon me for being frank. Although both of you are members of the Su family, I’m afraid you don’t seem to know much about your family’s second young master.”
Song Qi said, “Second Young Master Su is not a Qi Refinement Warrior. But he has the ability to kill them. I’m a Level 8 Qi Refinement Warrior but I dare not say that I will win a fight against Second Young Master Su.”
During the past ten days, Song Qi had already achieved a breakthrough in the realm and cultivated till Qi Condensation Level 8 using the inferior-grade spirit stones from Su Zimo.
“You’re a Qi Refinement Warrior?”
“And a Level 8 Qi Refinement Warrior?”
“Father once swore that he will protect the people of the Country of Yan for life, let the commoners have a safe and peaceful place protected from the flames of war to live in. Now, the people of the Country of Yan are in trouble. I, Su Hong, would rather die on the battlefield with the horses and corpses than to hide here!”
Su Hong took a deep breath, his eyes glistening brightly. He said in a deep voice, “Anyone who attacks the borders of the Country of Yan must be killed! Anyone who slays the people of my Country of Yan must be killed!”
At this moment, Uncle Zheng seemed to have seen Su Mu’s shadow on Su Hong.
In a daze, he seemed to have returned to 20 years ago when he followed Su Mu in gaining victories across the battlefields and advancing courageously all the time!
Such familiar words, familiar scene, same boldness and same display of one’s prowess. There was nothing to fear!
Su Hong raised his voice and said, “Where is the black armored cavalry!”
It was not sure when, but the 5,000 black armored cavalry had already gathered outside. Each of their gazes were burning like fire and emanating boundless will power to fight the battle.
Suddenly, Uncle Zheng’s old eyes teared up. Kneeling down on one knee, he said loudly, “Zheng Zhe is willing to follow the general to attack and kill the foreign enemies and protect our Country of Yan and my people!”
All the 5,000 black armored cavalry dismounted from their horses and knelt down on one knee in a coordinated manner. They hollered, “I am willing to follow the general to attack and kill the foreign enemies and protect our Country of Yan and my people!”
Su Hong clenched his fists and said loudly, “Prepare the horses and follow me into battle. May the glory of the black armored cavalry return!”
Watching this scene, Song Qi’s heart was suddenly full of admiration and respect for this man before him.
As a Level 8 Qi Refinement Warrior, he could look down on all mortals but at this very moment, Song Qi took his hat off to a mortal.
He experienced the enthusiasm that he never had before.
He experienced the family feud and country hatred that he never had before.
He experienced the feelings of deep love for the people and deep love for the land under his feet.
At this very moment, Su Hong’s body trembled. He suddenly turned with his back facing everyone and stretched out his palm to cover his lips. Thereafter, he put down his hands, looking normal and without any traces of oddity.
However, Song Qi could see it very clearly. In the palm of Su Hong, there was a pool of glaring red blood!
Although Su Hong’s body was weak, it was no longer in a severe condition. As such, it was impossible that he would cough out blood.
Song Qi was well aware that such a situation would only occur when a person’s heart had ached too much but had no place to vent the pain.
Although Su Hong did not express much upon hearing the news of Su Zimo’s death, he had chosen to conceal his sorrows deep in the heart.
Previously, Song Qi was hired by Su Zimo to protect the Su family from dangers.
However, at this moment, Song Qi really wanted to protect this man from the bottom of his heart!
Such a man did not deserve to die.
