NOVPUBWhen they met, would they choose to negotiate? If it really came to blows, could Shi Jingtian defeat him? They couldn’t help but worry.
The burly elder spoke in a deep voice, "Trust in the Stone King... he is already no less than the Ancestors of Martial Saint of our Shi Family, he will not be defeated..."
The burly elder could only hope that Shi Jingtian would win.
"Given the Stone King’s character, he wouldn’t choose to negotiate with Dao Wufeng, and is likely to take action. Relying on his own cultivation and having become an Entering Saint, along with the ’Eye of Stone King’ in his possession, he must win!"
The burly elder thought silently to himself, he understood Shi Jingtian’s character very well—domineering, unwilling to endure the slightest grievance, definitely bound to clash with Dao Wufeng!
But the burly elder’s complexion changed soon after, as he noticed cracks emerging on the surface of those stone sculptures, revealing the flesh underneath.
"The Stone King’s Divine Skills are failing... could it be that the Stone King..."
At this, dozens of Shi Family Martial Artists were all astounded.
These disciples of the Li Family had been turned into stone sculptures by Shi Jingtian’s use of the Eye of Stone King, and now that the Divine Skills were gradually failing, the implications were clear!
"Impossible... The Stone King was comparable to the Martial Saint ancestor of the Shi Family, he cannot be defeated... There must be some mistake!"
A great number of Shi Family Martial Artists shook their heads repeatedly, unwilling to believe that Shi Jingtian, who had achieved Entering Saint, could have met with disaster.
"Could it be... Mr. Su really did take down Shi Jingtian?"
And the most delighted was naturally Li Zhengao. He looked at everything happening before him with some surprise, yet still felt uneasy, fearful it might just be a false hope.
"Literacy Paradise has been opened... could it be..."
Before long, Li Zhengao sensed something, his heart pounding.
"Father... Senior Blade!"
Staring intently into the distance and seeing two figures, he finally let go of his worries, crying out!
The ones who had entered Literacy Paradise were naturally Su Changkong and Li Song.
"Zhengao... you’re unharmed, that’s wonderful."
Upon seeing Li Zhengao, Li Song also let out a sigh of relief, repeatedly expressing his feelings.
Li Song firmly patted Li Zhengao’s shoulder; seeking out Su Changkong in the Great Flame Empire was undoubtedly the right decision Li Zhengao had made.
"Mr. Blade... our Li Family really has nothing to repay you with, the most valuable thing is the Divine Seed within me..."
Li Song looked at Su Changkong, gratefully speaking. Su Changkong had saved their entire family, and Li Song was willing to offer up the most precious treasure of the Li Family as repayment, which was the Divine Seed within him.
Su Changkong listened with some amusement and shook his head speechlessly, "Head of Li Family, do you all really see me as someone who rises early without cause and is solely driven by self-interest? I am not interested in your Li Family’s Divine Seed, keep it for yourselves."
For the current Su Changkong, he indeed did not need repayment from the Li Family. The Divine Seed was extremely important to the Li Family; it could help their family survive better in the future and even rise gloriously again. Su Changkong was not about to deprive them of it. His gains were already sufficient, and there was no need to covet others’ meager offerings.
"Thank you... thank you..." Li Song gratefully expressed his thanks.
The youths of the Li Family who had been petrified started to recover with the death of Shi Jingtian, except for a few who had been used to threaten Li Song and had been killed, the rest were mostly unharmed.
Unlike the Li Family, whose members felt a huge relief, the burly elder and other Shi Family Martial Artists were filled with despair. They knew in their hearts that with Su Changkong and Li Song returning safely, and with Shi Jingtian’s Divine Skills also failing, everything was already clear—Shi Jingtian had indeed died at the hands of Su Changkong!
The burly elder managed to squeeze out a faint smile on his face as he bowed to Su Changkong, "Senior Blade, there was much disrespect before; we were blind to your stature. Please have mercy, Senior Blade. Our Shi Family is willing to pay any price to beg for your forgiveness!"
The burly elder was much older than Su Changkong, yet repeatedly addressed him as senior, humbling himself greatly. He knew clearly in his heart that with Shi Jingtian dead, all they could do was meekly beg for mercy, hoping Su Changkong would show them great compassion and spare them, spare the Shi Family!
