Chapter 1347: Chapter 437: Killing and Interrogation, Five Great Feudal Towns, the Four Su Siblings, Long-Lost Excitement_4
"Hoo......"
Of course, Xia Hong wouldnât give them a chance. He just took a slight breath and then blew a powerful gust of wind at the soldiers in front of him.
With a physical strength of Ten Thousand Forging Level, even just channeling the energy from his bones to blow out the wind had a force of hundreds of silvers and more.
"Ah..."
"Ah... spare me..."
The soldiers barely moved two or three steps before being swept directly into the Bone-Eroding Path by the whirlwind Xia Hong blew, just like He Qing before them. They barely managed to scream a few times before their flesh was scraped clean by the Black Wind, leaving only white bones.
"You beast, this is my toll for passage, happy now?"
Xia Hong raised his head to look at the Bone-Eroding Path and deliberately shouted mockingly.
Hoohoohoo......
The sound of airflow from the Bone-Eroding Path suddenly intensified, and some currents could even be seen trying to escape outward, clearly showing the Black Wind Generalâs somewhat infuriated reaction.
"Canât get out, then everything is negotiable! With a strength of more than Hundred Jun, returning from here might be risky..."
Reflecting on the horrific chase by the Black Wind General inside the Bone-Eroding Path just moments ago, Xia Hongâs expression turned a bit grim. He stood in place pondering for a while before swiftly flying north.
"Sir, I am Su Jing, willing to serve beside you with my younger siblings from now on, begging you to take us in..."
Seeing Xia Hong turn away to leave, Su Jing hurriedly started kowtowing on the ground, and his siblings Su Xu, Su Zhi, and Su Xingâer immediately followed suit, kowtowing toward Xia Hong.
Unfortunately, the four kept banging their heads on the ground for over ten times, yet even after Su Jingâs mouth dried out from speaking, there was no response from Xia Hong.
"Brother, that gentleman has already left."
The youngest, Su Xingâer, couldnât help but lift her head first, only to find no one in front of her, and immediately spoke out with extreme disappointment.
Third brother Su Zhi showed a self-mocking look on his face, speaking in a defeated tone: "Our qualifications werenât even considered by those County City Stewards, how could this powerful and young gentleman possibly take us in?"
Second brother Su Xuâs expression also turned bleak; he stood up and picked up the severed arm of eldest brother Su Jing, turned to look at the mangled bodies on the ground, his expression tinged with despair: "Brother, with so many people killed, Bai Shui County will surely investigate sooner or later. Forget Qingtan Village, we canât stay in Evergreen Valley anymore either."
Not returning to Qingtan Village wasnât a big deal since their parents were already dead, but the problem was that they couldnât stay in Evergreen Valley anymore; where could they possibly go?
Leaving Evergreen Valleyâs territory, given their strength, was utterly impossible!
Realizing this, the expressions of Su Zhi and Su Xingâer turned equally desperate.
"No, wait!"
However, Su Jing, who had remained kneeling without moving, suddenly lifted his head, not showing the slightest despair, but instead turned to look at the bodies on the ground, full of hope and ecstatic joy.
He stood up immediately, casually picked up a corpse, and threw it towards the direction of the Bone-Eroding Path, then shouted to Su Xu and the others: "Quick, help me toss all the bodies on the ground into the Bone-Eroding Path and clean this place up."
Su Xu and the others were stunned, unable to grasp big brotherâs intentions, but seeing Su Jing handle it so eagerly, they helped him process it.
"Thatâs right! That gentleman asked so many questions just now; he must be from the Outer Domain. He definitely doesnât want his information exposed, deliberately leaving these bodies for us to handle!"
Soon, third brother Su Zhi was the first to realize.
Upon hearing that, Su Xu also jumped to realization, his face breaking into a joyful smile, working with even more enthusiasm.
Even the youngest Su Xingâer caught on, turning to look northward, her eyes full of strong anticipation.
In no time, the four siblings cleaned up the scene thoroughly.
At last, Su Xu and Su Zhi struggled to drag a big saber in front of Su Jing and quietly asked: "Brother, this is He Qingâs saber, Ten Thousand Forging Level, even covered with a layer of silver..."
Su Jing glanced at the Ten Thousand Forging Level big saber, though a flash of greed passed through his eyes, he quickly suppressed it with resolve, saying sternly: "Throw it in!"
The reluctance showed on Su Xu and Su Zhiâs faces, yet they still combined efforts to lift the saber and threw it into the Bone-Eroding Path.
After cleaning up, the four brothers stood in place, exchanging glances, waiting nearly forty or fifty breaths, but heard no motion and saw no sign of Xia Hong.
"That gentleman hasnât arrived?"
"Brother, could you be mistaken?"
"That gentleman is so strong, heâs not afraid of being investigated!"
Listening to Su Xu and the othersâ words, Su Jingâs expression turned slightly doubtful, wondering if he had overthought it.
But soon, he clenched his fist, saying firmly: "That gentleman is our only chance to live, letâs chase northward, he was injured just now and probably wonât run far."
Clearly, Su Xu and the others held considerable trust in their big brother Su Jing, and seeing him lead the way north, they immediately followed.
Since it was chasing, the pace naturally couldnât be slow.
The four siblings quickly darted four or five kilometers north, but unfortunately, they failed to catch up to Xia Hong, not even finding the slightest trace he left behind.
"Brother, daylight is almost breaking, we canât catch up, letâs find a place to hide!"
Upon second brotherâs reminder, a touch of disappointment crossed Su Jingâs face. Seeing the skies already lightening slightly, he could only nod in resignation.
