68 -068: Encountering the Woman in Black Again
The entire place fell silent at that moment, and then came the cry, “Run!”
With Lei Dinghai dead, there was no chance of survival for anyone who remained.
Whether it was the people from Luoshui Jade Line or Thunder Wing Trading House, they all roared and scattered in every direction, attempting to escape.
However, all their efforts were in vain, as Sikong Jing, along with Old Zhang and Ah Hu, dashed out and cut down each person trying to flee.
They had to slaughter them all, or else there would be too much trouble.
Thunder Wing Trading House would certainly seek revenge, but if everyone was killed, then no one would know who did it.
So, they all died!
In the blink of an eye, only Xiao Wu and his niece Xiao Mei were left alive in the courtyard, along with Luo Ning, who sat collapsed next to the weapons rack.
Though the three of them had different feelings, they were all stunned on the spot.
The former two were scared, while Luo Ning was shocked…
The hellish scene was caused by Sikong Jing—the place where he was supposed to have no chance of surviving had simply flipped around, all thanks to a small Primordial Truth Pill and his invincible combat strength!
The feelings in Luo Ning’s heart were indescribable at this moment.
Footsteps sounded, and Sikong Jing, covered in blood, walked step by step toward Luo Ning.
Meanwhile, Old Zhang and Ah Hu approached Xiao Wu and his niece, not to harm them, but merely to keep an eye on the two for now.
Without a word, they understood what Sikong Jing meant.
The two warriors didn’t understand why it was like this, as if a mere glance from Sikong Jing was enough for them to comprehend his intentions.
They didn’t know that Sikong Jing once was the Invincible God General, whose every word and action could influence the entire army.
“Young Master Sikong, I’ve wronged you,” Luo Ning found herself apologizing desperately, not knowing what else to say.
The situation before her was of her making, and although it wasn’t her fault, Xiao Wu was her man!
Sikong Jing said nothing more but reached for the greatsword on the weapons rack and threw it in front of Luo Ning, saying, “It may not be your fault, but you said you wouldn’t cause me any trouble, and yet trouble has come.”
“So, it’s up to you to kill these two,” he said, pointing to Xiao Wu and his niece.
The two felt a chill run through them, and Xiao Wu immediately fell to his knees, crying out loud, “Cousin, I was wrong.”
Xiao Mei pleaded, “Xiao Ning, I’m your second mother…
You can’t kill me, or your father will be furious.”
At that time, Luo Ning grasped the greatsword, clearly understanding Sikong Jing’s intent.
He still didn’t want anymore trouble, so apart from herself, everyone else in the alley had to die.
Taking a deep breath, Luo Ning, with determined eyes, dragged the greatsword forward, “From the moment you colluded with Thunder Wing Trading House, you already betrayed Luoshui Jade Line, betrayed my father, you brought this on yourselves and cannot live.”
Pu pu…
With a swing of the sword, both of their lives came to an abrupt end.
After executing them, Luo Ning’s entire body shook violently.
She had never imagined that the people who were close as kin yesterday would die by her hand today.
Their betrayal was all for ambition, profits, and hearts filled with envy and spite.
Taking another deep breath, Luo Ning looked towards Sikong Jing and handed the greatsword over, “Please, Young Master Sikong, deal with it.”
For someone like Sikong Jing who detested trouble so much, he might decide to silence her as well, ensuring that no one else would know.
Luo Ning felt some fear but didn’t understand why she still passed the sword over.
What she feared was the terrifying possibility that Sikong Jing would annihilate the entire Luoshui Jade Line as well.
Yet, Sikong Jing shook his head and didn’t take the sword. 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
“You still owe me a Primordial Truth Pill.”
“Although the current situation arose because of you, you are a trader who keeps his word, it’s just that you trusted the wrong person.”
As he said this, Sikong Jing couldn’t help but laugh bitterly to himself.
Wasn’t he just like Luo Ning, trusting too much in the Emperor of Great Shang and Yan Ruyu, which had led to his downfall today?
Luo Ning let out a long breath, “I will definitely get the Primordial Truth Pill, but I’m afraid I can’t fulfill your second condition of two hundred men.”
The two hundred experts he had promised to Sikong Jing had all died here.
It would be impossible for Luoshui Jade Line to find more experts within a short period of time.
“Then you owe me one.
As for the death of so many people, that’s for you to figure out,” Sikong Jing said, and then he left the courtyard directly.
Ah Hu and Old Zhang, of course, followed him.
They were the supervisors, after all.
Of course, they were well aware that supervision was useless now; if Sikong Jing wanted to leave, ten of them wouldn’t be able to stop him.
In any case, they just wanted to follow Sikong Jing; there was a sense of unswerving determination in their hearts.
After Sikong Jing and the two others had left, only Luo Ning was left alone in the courtyard, facing the corpses.
She collapsed to the ground, her mind replaying the sight of Sikong Jing wielding a gun and killing enemies, and she murmured, “Who exactly was he before he was exiled?”
Meanwhile, Sikong Jing had left Ru Yun Town and arrived at the foot of Ru Yun Mountain, his brow furrowed.
“Brother Sikong, is there some difficulty?”
Old Zhang couldn’t help but ask.
They shared Luo Ning’s curiosity, wondering how formidable this fierce individual must have been before his exile?
One thing was certain though, Sikong Jing was definitely one of the Great Shang Army.
“I need to pursue the Flowing Cloud Flying Squirrel deep into Ru Yun Mountain, but the Flowing Cloud Flying Squirrel can soar to the skies and burrow underground.
I need people.”
“Luo Ning was supposed to give me people, but now there are none.”
Sikong Jing explained that to suppress the Earth Realm True Qi in his father-in-law Su Zhenglong’s body and to stabilize his internal organs, the inner core of the Flowing Cloud Flying Squirrel was exactly what was needed, but as he said, traps needed to be set with manpower to catch the creature.
Otherwise, it could easily escape.
“Never mind, perhaps I don’t need people now,” Sikong Jing suddenly spoke again.
Perhaps, being the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts, he could see through the Flowing Cloud Flying Squirrel’s demonic power flow, becoming an existence even more adept at flying and burrowing than the Flowing Cloud Flying Squirrel itself.
However, he then looked at Old Zhang and Ah Hu and said, “Fellows, I don’t know if you dare to join me on a trip inside.”
The two men exchanged glances.
They would have been reluctant to enter deep into Ru Yun Mountain before, but now they did not hesitate at all.
Sikong Jing seemed to give them endless confidence.
Just as the three of them were about to step into Ru Yun Mountain, footsteps sounded from within the mountain.
Sikong Jing stopped, and saw a black-clothed woman with long and ferocious scars on her face coming towards them, her body radiating the peak True Qi of the Human Realm, and an icy aura that warned strangers to keep away.
“It’s her.”
An image flashed through Sikong Jing’s mind, the same woman he had encountered outside the Su Residence after Su Xuefeng’s birthday banquet.
At the time, Sikong Jing had not seen her face clearly, but he could still recognize her by her aura.
However, he had no dealings with this woman and without any greeting, he brushed past her and quickly disappeared into the mountain.
Of course, Sikong Jing was unaware that the black-clothed woman was Su Yue Immortal.
The moment Sikong Jing and his companions vanished, Su Yue Immortal’s steps faltered slightly.
“He has just killed people, many people,” she thought.
Shaking her head since the matter was of no concern to her, Su Yue Immortal murmured to herself, “The Flowing Cloud Flying Squirrel is too cunning; I can’t catch it alone, I need to recruit some help in Ru Yun Town.”
