Upon hearing the voice, Su Hong and the rest had a big shock. They paused momentarily before they slowly turned back.
"Second Young Master!"
"Second Young Master is back!"
"Second Young Master is not dead!"
The crowd cheered.
Su Hong pressed his lips tightly together, feeling emotional. He was very weak and feeble from the injuries. But there seemed to be a sudden influx of invisible force, and he felt energized.
Unlike Song Hong and the rest, although Song Qi was just as happy, he was more surprised and shocked.
Song Qi was very clear that it was very difficult to slay the king in the capital and to then fight one's way out of the heavy encirclement.
The capital of the Country of Yan had not just two to three Qi Refinement Warriors, but an entire cultivation clan with them!
No one would be able to escape under the siege of the Imperial Army as well as the Qi Refinement Warriors.
Song Qi knew that even if he reached Level 10 perfected realm, he would never be able to do it. Perhaps, the Foundation Establishment Cultivators would be capable of accomplishing it.
Of course, that was only a possibility.
In Song Qi's eyes, Su Zimo had become even more mysterious and frightening!
Song Qi turned to look at Luo Tianwu. There was pity in his eyes, as he thought to himself, "The City Lord has yet to realize how formidable the opponent that he faces is."
Seeing that Su Zimo had returned safely, given Luo Tianwu's shrewdness, he forgot himself momentarily and was dumbstruck as well. There was disbelief in his eyes.
The gray-robed Qi Refinement Warrior behind him was even more shocked, frowning in silence.
"Advisor, why is Su Zimo still alive? Didn't you say that he will definitely be dead?" Luo Tianwu asked in a low voice.
The gray-robed Qi Refinement Warrior shook his head. "I have no idea as well. Perhaps he is lucky and he did not encounter any Qi Refinement Warrior. Otherwise, how can he escape from the capital?"
For some unknown reason, Luo Tianwu could sense fear as he stared at Su Zimo on the city tower.
"Advisor, should we be defeated, you must make sure to protect me. At most, we can return to Cang Lang City and wait for a comeback."
The gray-robed Qi Refinement Warrior replied steadfastly. "Your highness, you can rest assured that if things are not going our way, I will leave with you first."
"Good!" Luo Tianwu relaxed slightly, feeling reassured.
…
On the city tower.
"Su family? Second Young Master?"
Cao Wenxing had a shock upon hearing the shouts from below the city tower. He pointed at the back of Su Zimo, looking left and right, speaking in a low voice, "When did this person arrive?"
His soldiers remained silent.
On the one hand they had no wish to give him a reply, on the other, they had no idea as well. It seemed as if the person appeared out of thin air.
Cao Wenxing was used to ordering his troops around. Now that his soldiers refused to say a word, he could not help but scold them at the top of his voice. "A bunch of useless fools. How dare you allow an outsider to get onto the city wall. What's the use of having you!"
Right then, Su Zimo slowly turned to stare at Cao Wenxing with no expression on his face. Cao Wenxing felt his scalp turn numb under this consistent stare. All of a sudden, Su Zimo asked, "Did you give the orders to have our people outside the city killed?"
"Yes, but so what?" Cao Wenxing took the sword from his waist. He steadied himself and shouted.
"He… nothing much."
Su Zimo smiled, his eyes turned cold as he said, "As the City Lord who guards the border of the Country of Yan, not only did you not protect your people, instead you order a massacre of them…"
At the mention of this, Su Zimo paused slightly, there was a burst of coldness from his eyes that one's heart could not help but jump a bit. He hollered, "What is the use of having you!"
Swoosh!
Su Zimo leaped down, he was still in mid-air but everyone could hear a loud shriek.
The Cold Moon Saber was unsheathed.
Su Zimo held the Cold Moon Saber in his hand and jumped from mid-air, swinging his arm to form a huge arc. It was as if he was trying to split apart Mount Hua, as he swung the saber toward Cao Wenxing's head!
This stroke was full of flaws.
But, this stroke was too vicious!
It was so vicious that Cao Wenxing shuddered, unable to come up with a counterattack. He instinctively raised the huge sword in his hands to shield his head.
The flash of light from the saber was glaring, every soldier could not help but squint their eyes.
Snap!
The sword broke in half.
Poof!
There were flashes of blood.
Su Zimo sheathed his saber.
Cao Wenxing widened his eyes in shock. There was a strange, vertical red line between his eyes, cutting his face into two.
The next moment.
Cao Wenxing's body was split into half, and he flopped down onto the ground. Red blood kept spewing out, staining the bricks red under the wall in no time.
All of the soldiers were aghast.
One stroke!
Cao Wenxing who was at the Connate realm was split into half by the person in front of them!
Su Zimo went to Wei Mingcheng's side, stretching out his hands to help him up. "Can you still fight?"
"Yes!"
Wei Mingcheng disregarded the pain in his chest, he clenched his teeth and shouted. "Mister, please be assured. I will get the troops to aid the black armored cavalry outside the city now, we will get rid of the external enemies!"
"No need." Su Zimo waved his hand, shaking his head. "There must not be any internal strife within Jian An City because of this. We must not implicate the people in the city."
Wei Mingcheng hurried to say. "Mister, you are being too polite. It is our honor to be able to fight along the black armored cavalry. No one would say no to it."
"We are willing to fight along the black armored cavalry and behead the enemy!" The soldiers on the city walls shouted.
It was not until then that Su Zimo finally understood the heights of glory that the black armored cavalry achieved back then, as well as the important figure that his father was to the soldiers.
His father's achievements were so great that the king felt uneasy and insecure. This was why calamity befell him.
Su Zimo said softly, "Open the gate and let the people of the Country of Yan in first, and settle them down. If you still want to slay the enemies, then you can join us outside the city to fight against the enemies."
Wei Mingcheng agreed immediately. He looked at the soldiers around him and swung his arms, shouting. "Let's go, let's open the gate first!"
Wei Mingcheng paused for a second before he turned to look at Su Zimo. "Once the gate is open, all the people would flock in. Mister, you will not be able to go out for the time being. You would have to wait."
"No need."
Su Zimo smiled and turned toward the side of the wall and jumped off.
Everyone on the city walls were shocked!
Jian An City was one of the cities along the border of Country of Yan. The city wall was sturdy and much higher than other cities. It was as tall as 100 feet!
A small piece of stone would split into pieces if it fell off from the city walls, notwithstanding human beings.
Wei Mingcheng and the rest hurried forward to take a look at the bottom of the walls.
At the same time, the two armies who were engaged in a fierce battle on the battlefield noticed this scene as well. All the soldiers could not help but gape in shock, their eyeballs almost falling out.
Su Zimo fell from the top of the city wall at an alarming speed.
Bang!
There was a deafening sound.
Many soldiers could feel the tremor in the ground!
Su Hong and the rest could not help but break out into a cold sweat for Su Zimo.
They certainly knew that Su Zimo was not a fool or a madman. Since he did this, he would definitely be alright.
However, what he did was still very shocking to all of them present.
The Postnatal Experts, Connate Experts and even the two Qi Refinement Warriors from the two sides of armies could not help but shiver.
The muscles on Luo Tianwu's face twitched slightly, he paled as he tried to maintain his composure.
When Su Zimo dropped to the ground, a lot of dust and gravel came flying up.
Under the watchful gaze of countless eyes, a figure loomed in the billowing dust. He took steady strides as he walked towards them, and they could gradually make out his outline and facial appearance…
