Chapter 332 (1/2)
Witnessing another seven members of the NanGong family fall into pools of their own blood, filled with innumerable sword slashes, and turning into minced meat in a flash, Yu ManTian who was standing by the side could bear it no longer. With a loud roar like a tiger, he rushed into the battlefield, the greatsword in his hands waving around wildly, carving out a circle around him. He could not bear the loss of talents the most, and decided to jump into the battle. Besides, the Heavenly Blade Troops would not care if he was the third in command of the Yu Family or not, or whether he was an esteemed XianTian realm expert. They would just throw themselves forward without any hesitation!
Ling Chen sighed. For someone of Yu ManTian's character, it was only a matter of time until he interfered. However, since he had come into the scene, her plans could not follow her optimal schedule any longer. While Yu ManTian was a XianTian realm expert with rich battle experience, the battlefield was after all an unpredictable place. If anything happened to him, how would Ling Chen account to Yu BingYan? As such, Ling Chen raised up her right hand. Those of her side, upon seeing this, would know that she had set the order for complete and utter annihilation of the other party!
Shouts sounded from all four directions, followed by the swift sounds of wind breaking as shaft after after of black-colored spears rained down upon the Heavenly Blade Troops, without any sign of stopping! The closely cl.u.s.tered spears seemed to block off every single ray of light from the skies as they descended!
Under the light of the torches, the blood spurting out from various injuries took on a rose-red hue, accompanied by the lengthy screams of the victims in pain. A mult.i.tude of Heavenly Blade Troops had rushed over without concern for their lives, but in an instant, they had become fodder for Ling Lei, Ling Dian, and Yu ManTian!
The rain of spears continued for a good hour, to the point that while the spears were still raining, there were no longer any more screams of pain below!
After a ”Halt!” command from Ling Lei, all the soldiers on duty straightened themselves in attention. Not a single noise could be heard then! Such a huge area, but without a single survivor! The 3,000 members of the Heavenly Blade Troops were uniformly turned to human mush, completely unrecognizable!
Only now did the perpetrator of this entire event, Ling Chen appear. Upon seeing the gore in front of her, her face blanched as she wobbled a little, before forcing herself to speak to Ling Lei, ”Get all your men to disarm and advance into the palace, while rea.s.suring the public. As for Yang KongQun's and Long Xiang's groups, we'll wait for the young n.o.ble to make a decision.” The moment she finished, she quickly returned to the residence before throwing up incessantly.
Yang KongQun stood mutely on the spot, seeming like a living corpse as he stood there. At this moment, anyone could see the despair in his eyes. Suddenly, he burst into a fit of insane laughter.
Staggering along, he pointed to Ling Zhan and laughed, ”Old Ling, it seems like I, Yang KongQun, have lost! I've completely been defeated! Hahaha…”
Ling Zhan sighed and waved his hands to stop Ling Lei who was about to pounce on Yang KongQun. He solemnly declared, ”That's right, you've lost. Old Yang, you have no way to rise back up again!”
Yang KongQun gave a hollow laugh, as his face regained some semblance of calmness, ”While I might have lost, I still want to know. How was I defeated? I planned far ahead, every step carefully constructed for a whole twenty years in secret! However, while I was beaten, I still don't understand it at all, and I can't rest in peace without knowing! I believe that my schemes and plots were not able to be easily seen through, because even my wife knows nothing about them! So tell me, in whose hands did I lose? Was it that I've never been able to tell your true colors? Or was it that I've always been making a mistake?!”
Ling Zhan slowly shook his head, his eyes full of pity. ”Old Yang, the one who has defeated you is not me, but my grandson, and my only grandson, Ling Tian! Three years, ago, he was already waiting for you to carry out this plan to ambush you! Which meant that, three years ago, Ling Tian already had absolute confidence in routing you! However, you delayed your plans by three years, so how could you not lose?”
”Ling Tian? Three years ago??” Yang KongQun called out in disbelief, ”Stupid Old Ling, are you trying to swindle a dying man?”
Ling Zhan shook his head instead, coldly remarking, ”Old Yang, why would this old man still lie to you at this time? While you had been meticulously planning for the past twenty years, your target in the end was just my Ling Family and within Sky Bearing! From the start, my Tian'er never saw you as an opponent, for his goal was merely to use you as a stepping stone to conquer the entire world! Compared to him, how could you still think of victory? But you need not feel depressed, as even I was unaware of my grandson's ambitions. This is what is called 'ambition does not restrict itself to the old!”
”Turns out that you were really muddle-headed for your whole life, to not even know that your grandson was so outstanding, with such foresight!” Yang KongQun stood in shock for a while, before he finally realized! He let out a hearty laugh, ”That's right! How could I be compared to someone who wants to hold the entire world in his grasp! While I am running along, he is already flying in the sky! How could I not lose? Haha, this old man admits his defeat wholeheartedly! I'm no longer unresigned to it!”
