Chapter 89 Surrender (2/2)
As if sensing Zhou Yuan's intent to kill him, the Black Venom King's fear intensified. He threw away all other thoughts and hurriedly said, ”Your highness, I am willing to submit to the royal clan and work for them!”
Only then did Zhou Yuan's indifferent expression ripple slightly. The Black Venom King was after all an Alpha-Origin expert. If he sided with the royal clan, it would undoubtedly be a huge boost to their power.
Wei Qingqing earnestly reminded when she heard this.”Your highness, that fiend is vicious and cunning. Be careful of being betrayed.”
The general's faction had fought far too many times with the Black Venom King and knew just how sly he could be.
Zhou Yuan nodded in acknowledgement. He was naturally aware of this. Hence, he moved to Yaoyao's side and asked, ”Big sis Yaoyao, is there any way to control him such that he will not harbour any thoughts of backstabbing in future?”
Yaoyao pondered for a while, before her snow-white chin gently nodded. ”There naturally is, but the precondition is that the Black Venom King cannot put up even the slightest resistance, or the method will not succeed.”
Zhou Yuan nodded, lifted his head towards the Black Venom King and said in a cold voice, ”If you really mean it, give up on all resistance and allow me to deal with you.”
The Black Venom King's eyes flashed as hesitation flitted across his face. Abandoning all resistance was akin to putting his life in Zhou Yuan's hands.
”It seems that you are not willing. Since that is so, go accompany the slaughtered citizens of Great Zhou.” Iciness flowed in Zhou Yuan's eyes.
Tuntun's and Wei Canglan's attacks immediately grew increasingly ferocious.
The Black Venom King was steadily forced into a corner, the smell of death growing increasingly closer in his heart. In the end, he gritted his teeth and yelled, ”Your highness, I submit!”
The moment he said these words, the Genesis Qi around him rapidly receded into his body.
Swis.h.!.+
Wei Canglan's figure appeared in front of the Black Venom King as a palm strike was sent flying towards his chest.
Urgh.
The Black Venom King vomited a mouthful of fresh blood as his body fell from the sky, cras.h.i.+ng into the ground in front of Zhou Yuan and the rest. The former's face was deathly pale, showing that he had been seriously injured.
The Black Venom King ignored the intense pain from his body and hurriedly said, ”Your highness, your highness, I submit!”
Wei Canglan landed beside Zhou Yuan, a guarded look on his face as he stared at the Black Venom King.
Tuntun also descended as its giant body rapidly began to shrink. It eventually returned its usual appearance and jumped into Yaoyao's arms.
However, it was obvious that no one dared to underestimate it even in this form. Even Wei Canglan's gaze was filled with wariness when he looked at it.
”If you intend to submit, I will do something to you such that you will no longer be able to entertain any thoughts of rebelling.” Zhou Yuan's tone was indifferent as he stared at the Black Venom King.
Upon hearing these words, the Black Venom King's heart jumped as unease rose within him. However, under Wei Canglan's and Tuntun's watching eyes, the former ultimately forced himself to nod. At the end of the day, preserving his life was the best course of action.
”Restrain the Genesis Qi in your body and do not circulate it. Also, make sure that you have no thoughts of resistance.” Zhou Yuan's tone was cold as he continued, ”This technique can only be used once. If it does not succeed… you will die.”
The Black Venom King s.h.i.+vered as he listened to Zhou Yuan's murder-laced words.
Zhou Yuan then looked towards Yaoyao and saw her give a slight nod before she slowly walked forward, jade-green Genesis Brush in hand. The brush tip stopped three inches before the spot between the Black Venom King's brows and began to draw. An extremely complex Genesis Rune began to slowly take shape.
A long time later, the completed Genesis Rune slowly descended, landing between the Black Venom King's brows. It slowly submerged into his skin, leaving behind a green rune.
Yaoyao glanced at the Black Venom King and said, ”This is known as the Spirit Locking Son-Mother Rune. If you have any thoughts of rebelling, activating the mother rune will instantly destroy your Spirit.”
The Black Venom King was ashen-faced. He had evidently sensed something lock onto his Spirit.
Yaoyao pa.s.sed a piece of jade to Zhou Yuan on which an even more complicated Genesis Rune was carved. ”This is the mother rune. If you find any disloyalty in him, shatter the jade and he will die.”
Zhou Yuan felt a little happy as he grasped the jade. He looked towards the Black Venom King and said, ”Since that is so, you will work for the Great Zhou Empire in future. This may also be considered a form of atonement for the numerous innocents that died at your hands.”
The Black Venom King's expression was a mix between crying and smiling when he heard this. In the end, he could only nod. As the saying went, better a bad life than a good death, living was still better than dying.
”Understood your highness!”
