Chapter 544: Spoils of the battle (2/2)
Aside from that, it was obvious that Su Dong had been the hunter while Zou Qiang was the hunted. In a situation where Zou Qiang -who was obviously suited better to fight in close combat- simply tried to escape and save his life instead of fighting, the chances of him successfully escaping from Su Dong were nearly zero.
Instead, if he had tried to hold his ground, even if he hadn't won the fight, it would be possible for him to pressure Su Dong and perhaps make him give up if he felt that it wasn't worth it.
Unfortunately, Zou Qiang had already been too terrified of the Su family from the beginning that the thought of fighting didn't even cross his mind.
Having Shun Long being the scapegoat and fight against the members of the Su family while he tried to escape was already the best scenario possible.
Shaking his head, Shun Long placed everything that he had obtained inside the 'Stone of Time' before he turned his attention towards Ying Gui.
Seeing that his feet were trembling in fear, Shun Long jumped on top of the first carriage and asked him seriously
''Do you know how to handle the 'Ironhide cows' or should I do it?''
Naturally, Shun Long wouldn't look down on Ying Gui just because he was afraid. Although he was definitely foolish for meddling in a fight of 2 families that reached far beyond what he could normally handle, he was still a merchant in the end. If he didn't take any risks in his life, it would be impossible for him to expand his network of clients.
Ying Gui immediately woke up from his shock when he heard Shun Long's voice, and nodding his head he replied in a hurried manner
''O-Of course!''
There was no way that he was going to allow Shun Long to become his driver. In his eyes, Shun Long was already much more terrifying and worthy of respect than the members of the Su family!
After all, an early rank 3 Nascent Soul stage cultivator killing those experts from the Su family who had managed to chase away all of his guards was already unbelievable.
Although Ying Gui didn't know exactly how strong Su Bao and Su Dong were, just from the fact that they had managed to scare off not just all of his normal guards, but even Zou Qiang, his head of guards as well, Ying Gui guessed that they must have definitely been at least early rank 6 Nascent Soul stage cultivators. After all, even if there were 2 of them, if they were just 2 peak rank 5 Nascent Soul stage cultivators Zou Qiang wouldn't have been so afraid of them.
''No, for that Su Dong to chase away Zou Qiang all by himself, his strength is probably even above the early rank 6 of the Nascent Soul!''
At the same time that he came to this conclusion, Ying Gui also cursed Zou Qiang in his heart for abandoning him to save his own life.
If it wasn't for Shun Long who had stayed behind to protect him, it wouldn't have been Su Dong and Su Bao who had died today, but him.
As he touched the back of his neck, Ying Gui felt a cold shiver in his heart, as he hurriedly went forward and sat on the back of the biggest 'Ironhide cow' in the lead, before he started to lead his 4 carriages deeper inside the 'Flame Lion canyon'!
