Chapter 1410 - 1410 1396 Killing Xiong Shuobo
Chapter 1410: Chapter 1396: Killing Xiong Shuobo Chapter 1410: Chapter 1396: Killing Xiong Shuobo Su Zhanze was stunned and said, “You want me to take the Dragon Slayer Sword out and then think of a way to save us when I come back?” He could hardly contain his laughter.
“Yes, this is a precaution. Don’t think that I covet your Dragon Slayer Sword. I’m afraid that if something goes wrong, the Dragon Slayer Sword will fall into Longhun’s hands, and then it will become their weapon. As soon as you all escape, I will immediately return the Dragon Slayer Sword to you.” Xiong Shuobo added, “I have no other choice. I worry about the people of the Thirty-Six Islands encountering unexpected dangers. Now we can only rescue half of them first and then find a way to save the others. You know this is a last resort.”
“Believing you would be stupid,” Chen Yu said. “And you even want our Dragon Slayer Sword.”
Da Wu said, “What nonsense are you spouting, youngster? Our Sect Leader said it’s just a precaution for the greater good of the Immortal and Demon realms.”
Su Zhanze kept his cool and said, “I think this plan is unreliable. We cannot do this.”
“What, you want everyone to stay here and perish? You can’t be that cruel,” Xiong Shuobo said somewhat agitatedly.
“We should wait for the people from the Thirty-Six Islands to come.”
“But we have already waited for three days. After today, they might still not arrive, and tomorrow we will likely be surrounded by the Dragon Slaying Clan. Then, no one will be able to escape.”
“Then we must still wait.”
“You are too heartless,” Xiong Shuobo said, realizing that it would be impossible to make him hand over the Dragon Slayer Sword.
Wan Shajiang joined the conversation, “I think the Vice Alliance Leader is right. We can’t fully trust the people from the Thirty-Six Islands. We need to find our own way.”
Su Zhanze looked over and asked, “Sect Leader Wan agrees with Alliance Leader Xiong?”
“We have no choice. We have already waited for three days, and they have not arrived. We cannot wait any longer; we must figure out a solution.”
“No, I disagree. We cannot do as you say.” Su Zhanze had just finished analyzing the situation with Chen Yu. If two groups left, it would certainly be a disaster. The few hundred people remaining inside would have no way to confront Longhun’s three thousand, not to mention Longhun’s martial arts prowess. How could a few hundred people last for three days?
Seeing Su Zhanze was unyielding, Xiong Shuobo angrily said, “I am the Vice Alliance Leader. Since Lou Xuancheng is dead, I am the highest authority here, so you are to follow my instructions. I have decided that the factions led by me and Wan Shajiang will be the first to leave, and Su Zhanze, you will stay with the rest.”
Su Zhanze’s eyes flashed dangerously and said, “You can’t do this.” It was clear that this move was sending him to his death, as those left behind wouldn’t last even a day.
“I am the Alliance Leader, and my word is the command.” Xiong Shuobo couldn’t seize Su Zhanze’s Dragon Slayer Sword but didn’t want to stay and die either. He had to find a way to leave first.
Su Zhanze shook his head, staring fixedly at Xiong Shuobo, and asked, “Vice Alliance Leader, are you sure you want to do this?”
“Yes, I must do it. We cannot risk everyone’s lives based on the people from the Thirty-Six Islands.”
Su Zhanze forced a smile and said, “Alright, I agree.”
Xiong Shuobo was somewhat incredulous and asked, “You agree?”
“Of course, for the greater good. You should go out and then find ways to help us.” Su Zhanze called out and said, “Bring me my Dragon Slayer Sword. I want to hand it over to the Vice Alliance Leader to take it out.”
“Really? That’s great. It seems Sect Leader Su is someone who considers the bigger picture.”
Chen Yu shouted, “Don’t do it. They will surely abandon us. We must not trust this guy’s lies.”
Su Zhanze roared, “Didn’t you hear what I said? Bring me the Dragon Slayer Sword.”
Chen Yu had no choice but to have someone fetch the Dragon Slayer Sword.
Xiong Shuobo was still somewhat in disbelief. Could all of this be a dream? He reassured him, saying, “Don’t worry. Once I am out, I will surely find a way to rescue you.”
“Of course, how could I not trust your character,” Su Zhanze thought back to how this man had embarrassed him during the last Alliance Leader conference. For his own ends, he insisted on dwelling on the matter of who drove Fang Ziren mad. While everyone was investigating how Fang Ziren died, he reaped tremendous benefits and managed to deflect attention from himself. Now not even jumping into the Yellow River could clear his name, and yet he still aspired to take the Dragon Slayer Sword from his hands. That big grizzly must think he had taken amnesia pills to forget all those events.
“It’s just a precaution.”
“Of course, it must be for this reason, considering the greater good.”
Wan Shajiang too was somewhat incredulous. Was all this for real? Could Su Zhanze be this willing to die? After all the trouble to obtain the Dragon Slayer Sword, to simply hand it over to Longhun—could this guy really be on drugs? How unreliable was this old thing, Xiong Shuobo? He knew too well. If he handed over the Dragon Slayer Sword, how could Xiong Shuobo possibly return to rescue him? It was an impossible scenario.
One of the subordinates, cradling the Dragon Slayer Sword, approached—it was Su Zhanze’s sword protector.
Chen Yu was also stunned. How could Su Zhanze do such a thing? His brain had not yet caught up.
When Su Zhanze took the Dragon Slayer Sword, the eyes of Xiong Shuobo already shone with a green light. Su Zhanze did not immediately hand over the Dragon Slayer Sword to Xiong Shuobo but drew it instead, as if he wanted to admire it one last time.
In Xiong Shuobo’s eyes, he indeed needed that last admiration, for the Dragon Slayer Sword would no longer be his.
Suddenly, Su Zhanze turned around, calling out, “Those who waver the army’s morale, kill without mercy,” and brought the sword down towards Xiong Shuobo’s head.
Xiong Shuobo was still elated by the prospect of acquiring the Dragon Slayer Sword; how could he have anticipated such an incident?
He immediately pushed out both palms, emitting a Light Wave to protect his own head.
Su Zhanze was indeed injured, but after several days, he had recovered thirty percent of his strength. He had been eager to demonstrate his recovery, to see for himself how well he had improved. It just so happened that Xiong Shuobo presented him with an opportunity, which he was not going to pass up.
And it must be said, this fool’s martial arts had indeed improved a lot recently, but his brain seemed to have devolved just as much. How could he not realize that Su would never let him get away with it? If he succeeded, the army’s morale would collapse, and Su would be left with no choice but to die. Yet he dared to use the position of Alliance Leader to press Su; it was utterly detestable. Since he was sending him to death, Su might as well let him die first.
With a roar from Xiong Shuobo, the Light Wave blocked the Dragon Slayer Sword, but one of his feet sank to his knees.
However, as soon as the Dark Beast appeared, and before his men could draw their swords to help, there was a snap—Xiong Shuobo was already sprawled in front of everyone, his eyes still open, dead beyond any doubt.
The Dragon Slayer Sword was retracted. Su Zhanze, touching the Dragon Slayer Sword, looked at Xiong Shuobo, whose head was still intact, and said, “Sure enough, there’s not even a mark. It kills without shedding blood.”
Da Wu, pale-faced and terrified, asked tremblingly, “Su Zhanze, you have killed our Sect Leader,” his tongue seemed chilled, still fluttering.
Su Zhanze, as if he had let out a sigh of relief, said, “Didn’t you hear? Those who waver the army’s morale, kill without mercy. Is there anyone else who wants to waver the army’s morale, who wants to leave?”
Wan Shajiang was dumbfounded. He hadn’t expected Su Zhanze to kill Xiong Shuobo in front of everyone like that.
“I did it for everyone’s sake. Those who fear death will only bring harm to us all. If we had let him go, he might have come back to save those surrounded. If those surrounded thought they were abandoned, what kind of Deputy Alliance Leader would he be? The first thing he thinks about in danger is running away, wanting my Dragon Slayer Sword, and harboring ill intentions.” Su Zhanze turned to ask Wan Shajiang, “Sect Leader Wan, do you also wish to leave?”
There was no point in talking about leaving now. Wan Shajiang quickly said, “Xiong Shuobo truly does not understand. As Deputy Alliance Leader, he actually wavered the army’s morale and even incited me to leave with him. He deserved to die.” With the Dragon Slayer Sword in Su Zhanze’s hand—killing without spilling blood—Su Zhanze might arrange a similar charge of “wavering the army’s morale” for him. Now was the time to follow the wind.
Indeed, it had the desired effect of killing the chicken to scare the monkeys. Su Zhanze’s move proved to be effective.
Hu Nanyue of Demon Palace, Guan Yi, the Sect Leader of the Withered Leaf Sect, and Gu Xueyun of the Heavenly City Sect had just heard that Xiong Shuobo and Wan Shajiang were leaving and were on their way to stop them.
Instead, they saw Xiong Shuobo already lying on the ground, with Da Wu and Wan Shajiang’s faces pale as ashes. The blood inside the corpse was only just beginning to flow out.
Su Zhanze still clutched the Dragon Slayer Sword tightly in his hands.
Hu Nanyue asked, “What exactly happened?”
Su Zhanze replied, “Xiong Shuobo wavered the army’s morale and was splitting the ranks. He wanted to take his people and leave first, using his position as Deputy Alliance Leader to do so. I had no choice but to act.”
“You shouldn’t have killed him.”
“Why not?” Su continued, “He had already wavered the army’s morale. If I hadn’t killed him and let the situation escalate, everyone would be thinking of saving themselves. He was also using his position as Deputy Alliance Leader to oppress us. I had no option but to kill him.”
Su Zhanze went on, “By killing the Deputy Alliance Leader, I was considering the greater good. Of course, if you all think I was wrong, we can discuss it after we all survive. If anyone dares to suggest wavering the army’s morale, they’ll be opposing our Immortal City Sect and they’ll share his fate,” he had already turned away.
Everyone was shocked into silence.
Da Wu said, “Su Zhanze is taking his personal revenge under the guise of justice.” He, of course, waited until Su Zhanze had disappeared into the background before he dared to say this.
At this point, whatever was said did not matter. Xiong Shuobo was dead.
Su Zhanze had killed Xiong Shuobo under the name of justice, leaving everyone dumbstruck.
Hu Nanyue said, “Gu Xueyun, why don’t you handle this.”
Wan Shajiang was utterly convinced that if he dared to say another word, Su Zhanze would kill him as easily as he had Xiong Shuobo, and it would end in the same unresolved manner. Given the immense power of the Dragon Slayer Sword, Xiong Shuobo had thought his martial arts had greatly improved, yet he had his head split open. To Su Zhanze, killing him would be no different from crushing an insect.
