Chapter 188: Chapter 188 The death penalty can be avoided, but the living sin cannot escape.

Xia Hongbo still made it close to Su Luo, but at this moment, his strength had dissipated, and he could no longer harm Su Luo.

Xia Hongbo mustered his energy, attempting to circulate his Inner Strength again, only to find that whenever he tried, he was met with excruciating pain, and his Inner Strength refused to flow.

Even the forceful use of Inner Strength only intensified his internal injuries.

"Pu!"

Xia Hongbo immediately spat out a mouthful of blood mist.

Especially since the Great Luo Immortal Gold Sword Embryo was automatically drawn out from his body, blood spurted wildly, and it seemed as if all his strength was being drained away. He staggered and ended up kneeling on the ground, barely managing to prop up his body to avoid lying flat like a dead dog.

Xia Hongbo looked up, his face filled with resentment and confusion, "You... how did you do it?"

How could Su Luo’s Great Luo Immortal Gold Sword Embryo, which was clearly several meters away in the ground, silently appear behind his back?

Could it be that the sword could fly on its own?

In fact.

That was indeed the case. Su Luo controlled the sword with Divine Sense. Although the Great Luo Immortal Gold Sword Embryo wasn’t exactly a flying sword for defeating enemies, as a Cultivator, guiding the sword with Divine Sense was not difficult.

Especially since Su Luo’s current level of Cultivation had already broken through the Ninth Level of Qi Refinement, controlling the sword with Divine Sense was even more effortless for him.

But naturally, Su Luo wasn’t about to explain this to Xia Hongbo.

He reached out and grabbed the Great Luo Immortal Gold Sword Embryo, which then appeared in Su Luo’s hand. Su Luo looked at Xia Hongbo with a cold gaze, "You can ask Jiang Hongying this question in hell."

Having said that,

Su Luo was about to make his move.

Xia Hongbo was utterly terrified. He hurriedly said, "Su Luo, you can’t kill me. I am Xia Yi’s father, your father-in-law. You cannot kill me."

Even though it was humiliating, for a Martial Arts Grandmaster to plead with an Inner Strength Martial Artist like this was a disgrace, Xia Hongbo no longer cared.

As the Family Head of the Jinling Xia Family, as a Martial Arts Grandmaster, he still had plenty of good days ahead. He didn’t want to die.

However, upon hearing these words, Su Luo’s expression grew even colder, "Are you even fit to be Sister Yi’s father? Is there such a father in the world who indifferently watches his own daughter get captured and even killed in front of him without a hint of concern?"

Xia Hongbo panicked, he could genuinely feel Su Luo’s intent to kill.

"No matter what, I am Xia Yi’s father, Nian Nian’s grandfather. The ties of blood cannot be severed. If you kill me, would Xia Yi and your daughter truly not blame you?" Xia Hongbo, desperate to live, hurriedly searched for excuses.

He had no confidence in what he said, considering how callous he had been towards Xia Yi in the past.

But Su Luo hesitated.

Xia Hongbo was heartless towards Xia Yi, but did Xia Yi feel the same way about Xia Hongbo? Had she really lost all affection for him?

If he truly killed Xia Hongbo directly, even if Xia Yi didn’t blame him, would she feel upset inside?

Seeing Su Luo’s hesitation, Xia Hongbo, as if grasping a lifeline, immediately added, "Just spare my life, and I promise I won’t pursue this matter ever again. As long as Xia Yi is willing, our Jinling Xia Family will take her back into the family, and I will add her name to the ancestral records."

Su Luo sneered.

Return to the Jinling Xia Family?

Re-enter the ancestral records?

Knowing Xia Yi as he did, even if she had the chance, she probably wouldn’t want to return to the Jinling Xia Family.

"Xia Hongbo, in light of the fact that you are Sister Yi’s father and Nian Nian’s grandfather, I’ll spare your miserable life for now." Soon, Su Luo made his decision.

Upon hearing this, Xia Hongbo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

His life was spared.

However, Su Luo’s next words sent chills down his spine.

"For Sister Yi’s sake, I’ll spare you the death sentence, but our issues are far from over!" As his words fell, Su Luo acted, severing Xia Hongbo’s meridians and abolishing his Inner Strength.

He didn’t kill Xia Hongbo, but from that day forward, Xia Hongbo would fall from a powerful Martial Arts Grandmaster to a mere mortal, an ordinary person.

Even because of the severed meridians, he was worse off than an ordinary person.

"You... you’ve crippled me?"

Pain swept through his entire body, and Xia Hongbo’s eyes were filled with rage and desperation.

This was even more unbearable than killing him.

"Better call for help quickly, otherwise, if you die from losing too much blood, don’t blame me," Su Luo said with a cold snort and turned away.

Xia Hongbo was left alone, roaring in despair in a pool of his own blood.

...

Elsewhere.

Zhou Shihao had already met up with Wan Chuanxiong.

Soon, he received another phone call, which immediately darkened Zhou Shihao’s complexion.

"Mr. Zhou, what’s wrong?"

Wan Chuanxiong frowned slightly, sensing an ominous premonition.

Zhou Shihao gritted his teeth and said, "Su Luo has appeared. Xia Hongbo’s side has been utterly defeated. Even Xia Hongbo himself has been seriously injured and has been urgently taken to the hospital. According to Xia Hongbo, not only has Su Luo fully recovered from his injuries, but he has also become even more formidable."

Wan Chuanxiong exclaimed in shock, "That’s impossible."

He knew very well how severely Su Luo had been injured; it was already a miracle that Su Luo could have traveled so far while seriously wounded.

How could it be possible that in just a few hours, Su Luo’s injuries had fully recovered?

"I also think it’s impossible," Zhou Shihao immediately looked at Shen Qingzhi and asked, "What exactly is going on with Su Luo?"

"I’m not sure," Shen Qingzhi shook her head, but she could feel the oppressive gaze of Zhou Shihao. She knew that such an answer might only raise more suspicions.

After a moment of thought, Shen Qingzhi suddenly suggested, "Could it be related to some elixir he’s taken?"

"What elixir?" Zhou Shihao immediately pressed, his gaze somewhat intimidating.

Shen Qingzhi was about to explain, but then she realized that this should not be her attitude. She was always cold toward Zhou Shihao.

Thus, Shen Qingzhi’s voice also turned colder: "How would I know what elixir he has taken?"

Shen Qingzhi made up the story about Su Luo taking an elixir, but it was not completely without foundation; after all, when Su Luo stayed at the Qing Zhi Bar, Rose had mentioned that Su Luo was refining elixirs in his room, which meant it was true that Su Luo knew how to refine elixirs.

Such an explanation would not have any loopholes.

But to be honest, Shen Qingzhi was also very curious about how Su Luo’s injuries had recovered so quickly.

Could it be that just because they had had a few passionate encounters in the cave, his injuries had healed and he had become even stronger?

But apart from that, Su Luo had indeed done nothing else.

This was baffling to Shen Qingzhi.

However, she didn’t need to understand. As long as she knew that Su Luo had left the cave and that his injuries had recovered and he was safe, that was enough for her!

It wasn’t in vain that after being tormented by Su Luo several times, she endured the pain in her body to lead Zhou Shihao and others away.

"That kid Su Luo, able to conjure a strange sword out of thin air and to become invisible, if he has some elixir that can rapidly heal injuries, it’s very likely to be true," Wan Chuanxiong said at this time.

Clearly, anything strange happening to Su Luo no longer surprised him at this point.

But it was also because of this that his interest in Su Luo became even stronger.

"No matter what the cost, we must capture Su Luo alive. We have to obtain those secrets he holds!"

In Zhou Shihao’s eyes blazed a fierce ambition. Now, his intention to capture Su Luo had shifted more towards the benefits.

And benefits often drive people to madness.
