Chereads / Emperor of Desolation / Chapter 16 - Chapter Sixteen: Give in

Chapter 16 - Chapter Sixteen: Give in

Just as Beifeng was about to get up, Shi Hao flew down from the air like a young roc. Then, with a stomp, his foot landed on Beifeng's chest. His eyes were bright as he looked down at him.

With a "boom", the mountain trembled slightly. The powerful young Beifeng instantly lay on his back again, unable to rise. No one would doubt the strength in the little one's foot.

The people of the Beicun were shocked. Beifeng, this talented young man who was revered by his clansmen, unexpectedly lost, and to a young child at that.

Many people from Beicun drew their bows and nocked their arrows, ready to shoot Shi Hao and rescue Beifeng.

Shi Feijiao and the others were extremely angry and also drew their huge bows, preparing to shoot back. A chaotic battle was about to break out.

With a whoosh, Shi Hao grabbed Beifeng's collar and forcefully lifted him up, blocking himself in front of the people of Beicun to protect himself.

Beifeng was furious. Usually calm and composed, he could no longer control himself. Today was an utter humiliation. Being caught by such a little brat was even more unbearable than being killed. He struggled desperately and punched towards the little one.

Although Shi Hao lacked combat experience, he was quick to react. With a glow emanating from his other hand and symbols rotating, with a "slap", he struck first and landed on Beifeng's chest, causing his body to tremble violently and blood to gush from his mouth. His fist lost its strength.

The little one didn't stop. Grabbing Beifeng, who was much taller than himself, he quickly jumped and rushed towards where Shi Linhu and the others were.

Beifeng was tall and slender. Being carried like this, most of his body was dragging on the ground, touching the thorns and rocks. His hair was disheveled. Compared to the handsome and cold young man before, it was a world of difference, extremely disheveled.

Still eight or nine meters away, the little one suddenly threw Beifeng out. With a "thud", he landed in front of Shi Linhu and the others. He rolled a few times and spat out a few mouthfuls of blood, his eyes filled with resentment and anger.

"Little brat, weren't you vicious? Be arrogant again!" Shi Feijiao didn't care. After saying that, he strode forward and then stomped down. With a "crack", four or five of Beifeng's sternum bones broke immediately.

They were of similar strength, but Beifeng was now a prisoner and couldn't resist. Using his sternum to resist the sole of the foot, he naturally couldn't bear it. He sweated profusely from the pain and groaned.

"Little one, you're too kind. There were several opportunities earlier when fighting the enemy to seriously injure him, but you missed them. And after catching him, you were too lenient. This is very dangerous for you." Shi Linhu instructed beside him.

"Yi ya!" The little one seemed a little embarrassed, completely different from the fierce look like a little tiger earlier. This was his first time fighting so desperately. Mainly because he saw several uncles in the clan almost being shot dead and the other party was so unreasonable, he was anxious and went to fight.

"Hey, friends of the Shi Village, please show mercy. Let's talk. Things can be discussed." The people of the Beicun were anxious. If such a young man with astonishing potential in the wild was killed, it would be a huge loss for their clan.

"Discuss? When you were seizing the prey we worked hard to hunt, killing my clansmen, and drawing your bows ruthlessly and coldly, why didn't you think of this?!" Shi Linhu said angrily.

"Bang!"

On the other side, Shi Feijiao stepped on it again directly. With a "crack", one of Beifeng's arm bones broke, causing his face to twist, but he didn't say a word.

"Stop, quickly stop. Everything is our fault. Isn't it okay to apologize here?" A middle-aged man in Beicun shouted, very anxious.

And the leader of their hunting team also shouted, requesting a negotiation. He was over two meters and three or four meters tall, with an imposing manner. But at this moment, he was no longer as tough and aggressive as before.

"Negotiate your mother! No matter what, give him a beating first!" The father of Er Meng said angrily. These days, the people of Shi Village have been holding back their anger. How could it be settled with just one word?

"Boom"

His huge palm came down and slapped Beifeng's face, directly causing the skin to split and the flesh to rupture. The whole person flew several meters sideways.

"Kid, you still dare to glare. My brothers were almost shot dead by you, four or five of them. Each arrow was vicious, passing through the internal organs. Where's your arrogance? Come again!"

"Bang"

When Beifeng rolled under Shi Linhu's feet, he also kicked out directly. Such a huge force of several thousand kilograms was enough to trample a fierce beast. No matter how powerful Beifeng was, some more bones broke. His mouth twitched, and blood and sweat flowed together.

Not long ago, he was arrogant and domineering. Now, he was a prisoner, with disheveled hair and covered in blood, not saying a word, a huge contrast.

"Bang"

The people of Shi Village hated his arrogance before. That cold and arrogant look made people grind their teeth in hatred. At this time, they all stepped forward, each giving a kick or a slap. Living in the wild, everyone had a strong body. After this round, Beifeng was almost dismantled. Countless bones were broken and he collapsed there.

"Stop!"

The people of Beicun were extremely anxious. They drew their huge bows and were about to rush up to rescue. Because if this continued, Beifeng would either be disabled or useless. Don't expect this genius to rise again.

"All of you stop. Stand aside. It's not over yet. We'll talk when we're less angry!" Shi Feijiao said.

Everyone gave a kick or a slap. It didn't take long for Beifeng to be beaten beyond recognition, with a swollen face and broken bones everywhere, looking miserable, without a trace of the cold look anymore.

At this time, a group of children also rushed up. Especially Pi Hou, who kicked him hard and said, "You almost shot my dad dead. You were so arrogant. How about now? You were still caught by the little one!"

"Our little one in the clan is only a little over three and a half years old. You're over ten years old and couldn't even defeat him. What's there to be arrogant and proud of?" A group of children scolded while beating.

At this moment, a group of people surrounded Shi Hao, praising him without stint. Even the people of Shi Village didn't expect him to be so powerful, directly catching a terrifying young man comparable to Shi Linhu.

"Friends of Shi Village, have you vented your anger差不多了? It's almost enough." The people of Beicun were extremely anxious. If this continued, the genius would become disabled. What's the difference between him and a dead dog then?

"Then let's talk!" Shi Linhu sat down on Beifeng's body with his butt, completely treating him as a stool. This made the hearts of the people of Beicun tremble. Such a strong man, nearly two and a half meters tall. With such a hard sit, even a wild ox would have to lie down.

But having to yield to circumstances, they could only persuade him with kind words and dare not show dissatisfaction.

"We are all friends in the wild. Even if there are some conflicts, we'll still see each other often. Please bear with us and forgive our recklessness this time." A person in the Beicun hunting team who was good at talking said.

"I spit! What seeing each other often? Sounds nice. Why didn't you do this earlier? Why did you shoot my clansmen?!" Shi Feijiao scolded.

Shi Linhu waved his hand and said, "Stop the nonsense. We don't want to hear it. Say, how will you compensate us?"

"Well..." The people of Beicun frowned. The leader of the hunting team said, "How about we apologize here and give all the prey to you?"

The father of Er Meng rolled his eyes and said, "This prey was originally ours. You injured so many of us. Is an apology enough?"

"How about this? We'll withdraw from this mountain forest from now on and never cross the border again. How about returning your hunting area to you?" The people of Beicun said.

"Bullshit. This was originally ours. You've talked for a long time without any sincerity!" A person with a bad temper in Shi Village shouted.

Shi Linhu waved his hand and said, "I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you. It's okay to let this lad go. In addition to the conditions just mentioned, leave all the weapons on your bodies. Then you can carry him back. Don't show up in our territory again."

"What? No way!" The people of Beicun shouted. For them, weapons were like their second lives. Living in this mountain, how could they survive without these weapons?

You should know that metal ores are scarce here and difficult to mine. It's very difficult to have a handy weapon. It requires a long time for casting and grinding.

"Then there's nothing more to talk about. Come on, cut this lad's head off and return it to the people of Beicun." Shi Linhu roared.

"OK!" A young man responded loudly and lifted a broad sword to cut down and kill Beifeng.

"Don't! We agree!" An important figure from Beicun shouted and hurriedly stopped.

The others from Beicun had ugly expressions. Someone said, "Do we really have to hand over so many weapons?"

"Weapons are gone and can be recast again. Although it takes time, there is still hope. But if the person is gone, there is no chance of revival at all. Beifeng has extremely high talent and is rare in this wild. He can protect our clan in the future."

The people of Beicun compromised. Piles of iron arrows were moved over, as well as dragon-horn bows and sharp broad swords. Their hearts were bleeding.

There would have been a bloody battle, but the sudden appearance of the little one and his confrontation with Beifeng, this terrifying genius, actually changed the situation and avoided a bloody conflict. Otherwise, no one knew how many people would have died.

A group of people returned fully loaded and returned to Shi Village.

In the following days, Shi Village was peaceful, but the depths of the mountains were not calm. From time to time, there were beast roars that shook the mountains and made rocks roll down.

"Chief, the terrifying suanni in the depths of the mountains is probably dying of old age. It has been roaring and struggling recently."

Someone came to report to Shi Yunfeng.

"That's a true ancient species. It's considered a hegemon in the depths of the mountains. If we can obtain its remains, extract the true blood, and copy the original precious runes on its bones, it's undoubtedly like opening an astonishing treasure!"
