Chapter 475: Accident!
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
Shan Ling looked at the blood and the blade in his hand in disbelief .
”Why?” Shan Ling looked behind him . He knew that this was a stupid question because the blade that pierced his chest told him all he needed to know .
But . . .
He asked the question anyway .
He simply couldn't understand why someone would do this! Furthermore, they had the audacity to attack him in the Southern Region!
”Can't you figure out what's happening?” Crown Prince Lin Tianrong squinted as he looked at Shan Ling .
He loved Shan Ling's expression .
The greater the disbelief in his opponents face, the greater his satisfaction .
Shan Ling looked at Lin Tianrong .
Shan Ling had never felt such rage in his life . Not even when he felt threatened by Fang Zhengzhi in The Vast World .
”Why? Could it be that you don't want him to die? That's impossible . I am very sure that you want him dead!” Shan Ling's face was flushed .
He knew for a fact that Lin Tianrong wanted Fang Zhengzhi dead .
There are no eternal enemies, only eternal benefits . When their goals were the same, they could work together .
That was why he believed Lin Tianrong .
However . . .
He never expected that Lin Tianrong would try and save Fang Zhengzhi by stabbing him in the back when he was trying to kill Fang Zhengzhi .
He needed a reason .
”Crown Prince, you are right . I do want Fang Zhengzhi dead, but I also want you dead!” Lin Tianrong chuckled icily . His body was shaking with joy . He pulled his sword out .
Blood splattered everywhere .
The eight hangers-on rushed to Lin Tianrong's side . Their robes flapped in the wind .
”You want me dead?” Shan Ling shuddered, blood flowing from the open wound in his chest . He glared at Lin TIanrong .
”To be honest, there was a small detail that I left out from the story . . . when Fang Zhengzhi had kidnapped you, he killed you!” Lin Tianrong explained .
”Haha, you expect that useless person to be able to kill me? Do you think the King will believe that story?” Shan Ling's eyes were icy, blood trickling from the edge of his mouth .
”Does it matter? Fang Zhengzhi and yourself would both be dead by then . Whatever I say, goes . ” Lin Tianrong chuckled .
Shan Ling remained silent .
Lin Tianrong was right . Dead men couldn't speak . They would have no choice but to believe Lin Tianrong .
Even if . . .
The King didn't buy it . . . he couldn't do anything about it .
Wage war with the Great Xia?
Demand that the Great Xia hand over the Crown Prince to be tried for murder?
Both of those options were impossible!
”Give me a reason why you have to kill me!” Shan Ling didn't want to debate this issue . All he wanted was a reason .
”If you don't die, there will be no peace!” Lin Tianrong added .
”I see . ” Shan Ling stopped shuddering . He calmed down, realizing that death was about to come .
He finally understood .
He had told Fang Zhengzhi something just now .
He had blamed Fang Zhengzhi's fate on his . . .
Greed!
Right now, the Crown Prince was giving him a taste of his own medicine .
His greed, his l.u.s.t for the throne was the cause of his death!
How ironic .
He had thought that he was punis.h.i.+ng others for their greed, never once realizing that he was even greedier .
The irony was clear .
That being said, he had to admit that Lin Tianrong was right . As long as he was alive, the Southern Region would always be a cause for worry for the Great Xia .
Shan Ling had no other questions .
He turned to look at Lin Tianrong and Su Qing, smirking as he did so .
”I am sure Official Su had already predicted this when you came to find me that day . What a great plan!” Shan Ling chuckled .
He knew whose plan this was .
It was Su Qing's .
By convincing Shan Ling, they had secured Shan Ling's attendance on this journey .
”You are too kind!” Su Qing replied as he bowed to Shan Ling . He instinctively took a step backward .
”Boom!”
A crack appeared beneath Su Qing's feet, almost as if the ground had been sliced open .
It was extremely sudden .
But Su Qing managed to dodge away .
”It is no wonder you are the Crown Prince . Your attacks are swift and powerful despite your injuries . I am in awe!” Su Qing retreated even further as he saw the crack .
”Settle this within 15 minutes!” Crown Prince Lin Tianrong looked at the crack, his gaze icy . He lowered his sword and ordered the eight hangers-on to strike .
”Yes!” The eight hangers-on nodded .
”I never expected that Official Su would be this powerful . Haha . . . the Great Xia is saturated with talents . Today, I will like to see how powerful the Crown Prince's hangers-on are!” Shan Ling chuckled as he radiated an icy aura .
This was a piercing aura .
The blood flowing out of Shan Ling's wound froze . It glistened like a ruby . . .
”Die!”
”Go to h.e.l.l!”
” . . . ”
The shouts echoed through the air .
The eight hangers-on sprang into action like specters in the night . They were within striking distance in the blink of an eye .
Shan Ling leapt into action .
He swung his blade as he charged the group of eight .
