Chapter 420: Chapter 414 Confusion (5 updates)

"Jiuyou, I’m sorry..." Su Chen seemed not to hear what Xu Zhenxiong had said, murmuring to himself.

Then.

His breath suddenly became low and oppressive.

He was going to self-destruct.

He redirected all of his Divine Soul into the Divine Mansion, and then began to mobilize the Mysterious Qi Power and Physical Strength outwards, intending to self-destruct along with his already battered body outside of the Divine Mansion.

But just then.

"Stop!" A hurried voice came from afar.

Ling Zhigao.

It was Ling Zhigao.

As it turned out, the moment Xu Zhenxiong arrived at the tavern, Ling Long had secretly notified her father using a Sound Transmission Talisman.

She knew that Xu Zhenxiong would kill Su Chen.

She wouldn’t allow Su Chen to die!!!

She wouldn’t allow it.

But, she couldn’t save Su Chen herself, where would she get the strength?

She could only notify her father.

"Brother Ling, what’s wrong?" Xu Zhenxiong was startled and gave Ling Zhigao a glance: "Why are you here? For this kid?"

Ling Zhigao didn’t say anything, but instead took a distant look at Su Chen, and with that glance, his breath hitched.

Su Chen looked too pitiful at this moment.

He was almost inhuman, his breath feeble, with both legs broken and his right arm gone.

This... even if saved now, he would be ruined!

Though there were healers who could treat him.

But, regenerating arms and legs was no easy feat, not the least for Su Chen at his current strength.

Moreover.

Even if there were healers who could do it, it would be very difficult for Su Chen to return to his former self, from a super genius to perhaps a second-rate talent.

Ling Zhigao didn’t know what was special about Su Chen. He didn’t know that Su Chen had a Divine Mansion, nor that Su Chen had practiced True Fire Body Refinement.

He simply saw Su Chen as an ordinary martial arts cultivation genius, and his thinking was not wrong if applied to an ordinary genius.

"Father, save him!" At the same second, Ling Long shouted out loud. She supported Su Chen, her face streaked with tears. It was all because of her. She felt self-reproach as if her heart was being squeezed and cut by a knife.

"Brother Xu, his name is Su Chen, he can’t die. His background is not to be trifled with. If something happens to him, the Xu Family might be finished too!" Ling Zhigao spoke gravely.

He was alluding to the might behind Su Chen.

But, obviously, his tone was not very firm, at least not the kind of firmness intent on saving Su Chen!!!

Ling Long was taken aback, her beautiful eyes flashed with fear, her father’s attitude made her nervous.

Her father didn’t seem as determined as she had imagined to save Su Chen.

Her father was at the Ninth Rotation Dongxu Realm Middle Stage, although not as strong as Xu Zhenxiong, but if he really wanted to save someone, mostly he could.

But now...

"Brother Ling, our relationship is quite good. I don’t want to fall out with you, so give up on saving this kid! He insulted Yaoyao, he hit Yaoyao, not even the Heavenly King himself can save him!" Xu Zhenxiong sneered coldly, his intent to kill paramount: "So what if he has a background? If it comes to it, let the people behind him wipe out my entire Xu Family!"

Xu Zhenxiong really was a madman.

Utterly fearless of heaven and earth!

Ling Zhigao couldn’t help but sigh. Why did Su Chen have to provoke Xu Yaoyao? He had actually insulted Xu Yaoyao, hit Xu Yaoyao? This was... this was practically begging for death!

No wonder Xu Zhenxiong was so unrestrained, determined to kill.

No wonder Su Chen ended up so pitiful.

"Brother Ling, I have to kill this kid!!! If you really want to save him, then let’s fight!" Xu Zhenxiong continued, his voice practically materializing with killing intent.

"Father..." Ling Long became increasingly anxious, her eyes pleaful as she looked at Ling Zhigao.

Ling Zhigao, however, refused to meet Ling Long’s gaze and took a step back with stiff determination, "Brother Xu, please do as you wish!"

Ling Zhigao had backed down.

For two reasons.

First, he truly was no match for Xu Zhenxiong. Although there was only a minor realm’s difference, he was well aware that in actual combat, he was far inferior to Xu Zhenxiong.

Second, Su Chen was already ruined. Staying alive, he would only be a burden to his daughter. Better that he died. No matter what background Su Chen might have, at least at this moment, he was nothing but a cripple with no future ahead. His daughter could not marry him.

"Father!!! You..." Ling Long’s delicate body shuddered violently, as if struck by thunder and lightning. Her face drained of color as tears streamed down like rain.

She felt disappointed.

Desperate.

She never expected her father to give up on Su Chen so readily.

She thought...

Yes!

She thought...

Suddenly, Ling Long came to despise herself!

From beginning to end, she had been so presumptuous.

She considered Su Chen good for nothing and was dissatisfied and resentful when the Burning Heaven Sect took him as a disciple—what was the result?

She thought it wouldn’t matter if she brought Su Chen back to the Ling Family for just one day. But what was the result?

She thought bringing Su Chen to Xu Yaoyao could help him. But what was the result?

She thought calling her father would save Su Chen. But what was the result?

Ridiculous!

It was truly ridiculous!

She had been a joke all along, a presumptuous joke.

Ling Long bit down on her teeth so hard they were close to breaking.

The next second.

Thud...

Suddenly.

Ling Long actually fell to her knees on the ground.

Dignity, she did not want it anymore.

All she wanted was to save Su Chen.

She knelt on the ground, bowing her head to Ling Zhigao, bowing repeatedly with force.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The sound was crisp, her forehead stained bright red.

Her voice was crying and hoarse, "Father, since mother died, in these eleven years, I’ve never asked you for anything!!! This is the first time your daughter is begging you! Please save Su Chen! I truly like him! I’m begging you! Your daughter is begging you!"

"Ling Long, get up! Get up now!!!" In the same second, Su Chen shouted, loudly commanding. He could feel Ling Long’s regret and apology, but in fact, he didn’t blame Ling Long. She was simply innocent, as pure as a piece of paper. Her view of the world was beautiful, even though she had been bullied, humiliated, and mocked in the Ling Family. She was only saddened but lacked the deep-seated hatred; because this world is cruel, it’s the kind of cruelty where a life doesn’t matter, where the worthless should die.

Ling Long, lifting her head, her eyes red and teary, stared at Ling Zhigao, her eyes now filled with nothing but pure pleading...

At this moment, Xu Yaoyao was somewhat baffled.

Everything before her was completely beyond her imagination.

She thought once her grandfather arrived, he would avenge her, Su Chen would kneel before her and apologize. She thought with her grandfather’s arrival, Su Chen’s end would be so miserable he might even die here, and she would be happy, triumphant, and joyful. But the reality was...

Inside her, there was another indescribable feeling of oppression, shock, frustration, and a bit of regret.

Especially seeing Ling Long, her good friend, kneeling and kowtowing on the ground, only added to her confusion.
