Chapter 194: Chapter 194 Clinging to a Wretched Existence

"Grandfather!"

As Song Qingshan fell to the ground, Song Yan screamed and rushed forward, but was held back by Song Jie gripping her wrist.

Song Jie, with bloodshot eyes, looked at Song Yan and said, "Xiao Yan, leave the Song Family now!"

Tears streamed down Song Yan’s face as she choked up, "The Song Family is about to be no more, so many guards fought and died for it, how can I, a member of the Song Family, leave?"

Grinding his teeth, Song Jie said, "It’s because they all died that you should leave!"

"No!"

Song Yan struggled to free herself from Song Jie’s grasp and said through her tears, "I won’t go! I want to fight to the death just like them!"

She watched in agony as the guards she used to call uncles and grandfathers fell one by one into pools of blood, feeling as if her heart was bleeding.

They were just guards of the Song Family, but now they were fighting for it, willing to pay with their lives.

She couldn’t just leave them behind.

"Shut up!"

Song Jie shouted angrily, his eyes still bloodshot, looking at Song Yan, "Xiao Yan, Brother knows your talent in the Martial Path is strong. Right now, only you have the potential for vengeance for the Song Family!"

"To tell you the truth, Grandfather had already spoken to me alone. Perhaps he had foreseen this day. He told me that if one day the Song Family faced total destruction, everyone could die, but you, Xiao Yan, must not die!"

"With your Martial Path talent and Qin Chuan’s help, within ten years, you will surely reach the King Realm!"

"Xiao Yan, Brother is begging you, please leave the Song Family now, okay? As long as you’re alive, the Song Family won’t be considered extinct!"

Desperation covered Song Jie’s face.

He had already been established as the next Heir to the Family Patriarch. At such a time, knowing it meant certain death, he would never take a step away from the Song Family.

With tears covering her face, Song Yan of course understood what Song Jie meant. She also knew very well that her own talent in the Martial Path was indeed extraordinary and that only by clinging to life could she have the chance for revenge in the future.

But leaving just like that felt so cruel!

She would rather die!

But if everyone died, who would avenge the Song Family?

"Go!"

Song Jie roared, suddenly pushing Song Yan away and then, without any hesitation, charged towards Zhang Longwang.

He was aware that even if he made it to Xuan Qing, he still had only one path: death.

If death was inevitable, why not do something within his power before he died?

In his eyes, Zhang Longwang was the main culprit behind the Song Family’s tragedy, and even if it meant his own death, he wanted to take that bastard down with him.

"Brother!"

Song Yan screamed heart-wrenchingly, her hands clenched so tightly that her fingernails pierced into her palms, yet she felt nothing.

"You’re courting death!"

Seeing Song Jie charging at him, Zhang Longwang immediately shouted and raised his fist to meet him in combat.

"Bang!"

The fists of Song Jie and Zhang Longwang collided, and blood immediately began to flow.

After all, Zhang Longwang was the president of the Jiangcheng City Black Dragon Commerce Guild. Being in that position, his strength was naturally significant. Although not as powerful as Hua Xiong from the Dark Energy Late Stage Realm, he was still a Martial Artist at the Dark Energy Middle Stage Realm.

As for Song Jie, who had only just reached the Dark Energy Initial Stage Realm, he was no match for Zhang Longwang.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

To Zhang Longwang’s astonishment, despite being weaker, Song Jie fought with all his might.

"Ahhh, die! Die!"

Song Jie fought like a madman, completely disregarding his fists that were already a bloody mess, still furiously swinging at Zhang Longwang.

"Brother!"

Song Yan’s tears blurred her vision.

"Go! Just go!"

After hurling several punches at Zhang Longwang, Song Jie seized the chance to yell at Song Yan.

"You think you can leave? You’re dreaming!"

Zhang Longwang’s face was twisted in brutality as he suddenly moved like a bolt of lightning, appearing right in front of Song Jie, and threw down a heavy punch.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Song Jie, like a punching bag, had no strength to fight back and received over a dozen punches to the chest from Zhang Longwang, blood spurting from the corner of his mouth.

"Go... just go..."

In a sudden burst of all his strength, Song Jie tightly clutched Zhang Longwang, his bloodshot eyes looking in Song Yan’s direction, he gritted his teeth and said.

Despite his severe injuries making his voice faint, Song Yan still understood his intentions.

"I’m going! I’m going!"

Song Yan wiped her tears, took one deep look at her brother and then at Song Qingshan, who was not far away and whose fate was unclear.

Finally, her gaze swept over the bodies of those uncles and grandfathers lying in pools of blood; her eyes grew extraordinarily resolute, and then she turned and ran.

She knew that with Xuan Qing there, no one from the Song Family would survive, just as Song Jie had said, only if she survived and got away would she have the chance to seek revenge.

"Grandfather! Brother!"

As she ran, Song Yan gritted her teeth and said, "And those uncles and grandfathers whose names I don’t even know, who fought to death for the Song Family, one day, I will personally take my revenge for you, and then, I’ll come to join you!"

The moment Zhang Longwang saw Song Yan attempting to flee, he became frantic, bellowing, "Stop right there!"

He tried to stop her, but Song Jie held him firmly, making it impossible for him to break free.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

He swung his fists furiously, striking Song Jie repeatedly while roaring, "Let go! Let the fuck go!"

Xuan Qing had intended to eliminate all members of the Song Family, and if Song Yan escaped, the news of Xuan Qing’s actions against the Song Family would surely spread.

By then, not only would Xuan Qing be scorned, but the whole Black Dragon Commerce Guild would be shunned by the upper echelons.

Song Jie let Zhang Longwang strike him, his gaze steadfast, tightly holding onto Zhang Longwang, even in death he wanted to gain a chance for his sister to escape.

"Elder Xuan, don’t let that woman escape; she is Song Qingshan’s granddaughter!"

Seeing Song Yan about to get away, and himself unable to get free from Song Jie’s grip, Zhang Longwang had no choice but to call upon Xuan Qing for help.

"Worthless!"

Xuan Qing gave Zhang Longwang a cold look and then rushed towards where Song Yan was.

With his cultivation, he almost instantly caught up with Song Yan, who had already made it several hundred meters away.

Song Yan looked at Xuan Qing, standing in front of her, her face turning ashen. Was she not even capable of gasping for breath?

"I said I would kill all the Song Family, how could I possibly let you leave alive?"

Xuan Qing said indifferently.

Song Yan’s face showed no fear, she glared at Xuan Qing, her teeth gritted, "You will get what you deserve! Even if I become a ghost, I won’t let you off!"

Having said that, without any hesitation, she gave her all in a desperate attack towards Xuan Qing.

"Hmph!"

Xuan Qing let out a cold snort, "A mere insect dares to spout off in front of me?"

With that said, he raised his hand and smacked down towards Song Yan.

"Bang!"

The next second, an old man with white hair and carrying a wooden box on his back suddenly stood in front of Song Yan, raised his hand, and clashed with Xuan Qing’s palm.
