Chapter 513: Chapter 513: Mr. Xiao, Are You Scared?

Seeing Xiao Zheng’s desolate departure, this left Long Qie and Titan completely puzzled.

Xiao Zheng had clearly promised before to spare the lives of Mr. Liu’s men, but now he had changed his decision.

Both of them greatly admired Mr. Liu’s suicide, for he died for his brothers with profound righteousness!

Therefore, they found Xiao Zheng’s command somewhat unacceptable.

Titan couldn’t help but say, "Long Qie, what exactly is the reason for this?"

After an initial confusion, Long Qie calmed down and looked in the direction where the Black Sword King and the others were.

In the dark of night, although the Black Sword King and his men appeared calm, flames of hatred burned deep within their eyes.

Long Qie suddenly understood.

"If Mr. Xiao were killed by someone and the opponent spared our lives, what would you do?" Long Qie asked in a deep voice.

"I..."

Titan was about to speak but then gave a bitter smile.

If such a situation really occurred, even if the adversary showed him a kindness greater than heaven, he would still spare no effort to take revenge!

There would be absolutely no compromise.

Nor would he give up.

In the history of Huaxia, there was an assassin named Yu Rang. His lord, Zhi Bo, had been killed by Zhao Xiangzi, so he sought revenge.

To avenge his lord, Yu Rang made multiple attempts to assassinate Zhao Xiangzi, even maiming himself and swallowing burning coals to hoarsen his voice!

Yet, after each failed attempt, Zhao Xiangzi captured him and released him repeatedly, treating Yu Rang with sincere respect.

But until the end, no matter how kind Zhao Xiangzi was to him, Yu Rang’s resolve never wavered, he persisted.

If it were Long Qie or Titan, they would act even more fiercely than Yu Rang! And probably, so would the Black Sword King and the Grey Wolf King.

Long Qie said intently to Titan, "These men are like a pile of bombs; without their deaths, Sky Net will never be at peace."

Titan could only nod gravely.

Following that, they began to take action.

Long Qie first ordered his subordinates to gather wine and meat from within the island, prepared a feast, and hosted the Black Sword King and others.

The Black Sword King and his men, now prisoners, were slightly stunned to see such hospitality from their captors. Then, without demur, they raised their cups in a silent toast to Mr. Liu and ate and drank quietly.

In their eyes shimmered a fierce determination. Though they had little communication, they had reached a consensus.

Come what may, they had to survive.

And then, seek every opportunity to take revenge!

Meanwhile, as the Black Sword King and his men feasted, Long Qie and Titan had already mobilised the forces under Sky Net, gathering them together.

Then, the assault began!

The Black Sword King and his men, unarmed and unprepared at the moment, were thrown into panic by this sudden attack.

And with the attackers being Sky Net, how could they possibly withstand the assault, even with their considerable martial prowess?

The Black Sword King and the others desperately resisted. They roared in confusion, "Why is this happening? The Evil God had already agreed to let us go, are you going back on your word?!!"

Titan said solemnly, "Killing you is because we respect you."

Long Qie also said, "Would you give up on revenge?"

The Black Sword King and the others were taken aback.

Then they understood.

Following that, they all laughed heartily, "You’ve done well. Since that’s the case, let’s engage in this final battle! You’ve done quite well indeed; at least before death, we could pay distant respects to Mr. Liu and have a hearty meal, haha."

The Black Sword King and his companions were all very bold and valiant.

Thereafter, both sides engaged in an even fiercer slaughter, blades and swords colliding, blood and fire blazing, roars of anger, cries of agony, and war cries soared into the sky.

Eventually, the Black Sword King and his companions were defeated, each of them perishing one after another until only the Black Sword King stood alone.

Long Qie, Titan, and the others shed tears. They, too, were reluctant to do this, but the Black Sword King posed a threat to Sky Net!

This is Jianghu.

In Jianghu, one sometimes has no control over their fate.

This isn’t just to say that various forces will compel you to do things you dislike. It also means that sometimes, you must act against your principles for something more important.

*Hiss!*

Long Qie’s axe traced a cold gleam through the night sky and severed the Black Sword King’s head. Eventually, the Black Sword King’s body fell to the ground with a thud.

At that moment, Mr. Liu’s power was also completely rooted out.

...

After returning to Zhonghai, Xiao Zheng felt very heavy-hearted. Alone, he ascended to the rooftop of the villa with a bottle of alcohol in hand, watching the distance, and silently drinking.

"Mr. Xiao."

At this moment, a voice rang out.

Xiao Zheng turned to look.

The speaker was Long Qie.

Xiao Zheng picked up a bottle of alcohol from beside him, tossed it to Long Qie, and then gestured to the side, "Sit."

Long Qie caught the bottle of alcohol, sat down beside Xiao Zheng, opened the lid, and drank it down in large gulps, finishing half the bottle in one go.

Xiao Zheng was also drinking.

The two men drank in silence, neither speaking a word.

In the end, it was Xiao Zheng who spoke first, "You all must not understand, and must be quite dissatisfied with the order I gave."

Long Qie, however, shook his head.

He spoke in a grave voice, "Mr. Xiao, your health... must be getting worse."

"Hmm?"

Xiao Zheng’s body shook slightly as he turned to Long Qie.

And Long Qie also looked squarely back at Xiao Zheng without any evasion.

Finally, Xiao Zheng slowly nodded and said, "That’s true, how did you know?"

Long Qie said, "Mr. Xiao, as I know him, is a man who keeps his word. The only exceptions are when his promises pose a threat to those around him."

"The Black Sword King and his men were a very formidable force. If they were allowed to go free, they would definitely pose a huge threat to Sky Net. To eliminate this threat, killing them was the only choice!"

"And if it were the Mr. Xiao of the past, how could he have cared about these people? Even if the Black Sword King and his men were ten times stronger than Mr. Liu, the Mr. Xiao of the past would have had no fear."

"But now it’s different."

Long Qie’s voice was low, "You’re afraid. You fear that your health is deteriorating, and that you will even die in the end. And after that, you won’t be able to protect Sky Net and the loved ones around you.

So, you must remove all threats as much as possible! Even if it means bearing enormous sins, even if it means going against your principles, you will not hesitate!"

Xiao Zheng laughed.

Then, he clinked his glass with Long Qie and merely said, "Drink."

"Drink."

Long Qie laughed as well.
