268 Do You Think Yousre Actually Worth That Much? (1/2)

Both He Hanqing and Venerable Lord Saber still had doubts in their hearts.

There had never been any connection between the Concourse of the Underworld and the Four Seasons Tower. There had even been a martial arts world covenant between them that listed all the higher-ups of the Four Seasons Tower in the exemption list of the Concourse of the Underworld.

The so-called martial arts world covenant was, of course, simply a letter and could easily be disregarded. However, for it to be so, the prerequisite was that the strength of the particular party must be strong enough to bear the consequences of a breach. If one did not consider thoroughly, it was better to comply with the covenant and not tempt fate by breaking the rules.

After all, to always be on guard against the Four Seasons Tower's counterattacks, plots, ambushes, and revenge were by no means a good or simple matter. It was particularly so when the Concourse of the Underworld knew that despite their formidable force and undeniable capabilities, they still paled in comparison to the Four Seasons Tower.

Thus arose the confusion over the happenings today.

These actions could not be possibly have been sanctioned. Even if the Concourse of the Underworld managed to kill both He Hanqing and Venerable Lord Saber, the clues the Concourse of the Underworld would leave behind were too obvious. It would be impossible for the Four Seasons Tower not to find out eventually. Being as they were, the Four Seasons Tower would fight endlessly until death came to one of the parties. Forthe Concourse of the Underworld, who was at a disadvantage in terms of strength, defeat would only bring about death.

Emperor Song had said that Venerable Lord Saber was unwise, but in Venerable Lord Saber and He Hanqing’s view, the Concourse of the Underworld was the unwise one!

No matter how doubtful He Hanqing and Venerable Lord Saber were, the battle would not stop just because of their doubts and hesitation. In the blink of an eye, a few screams could be heard. The remaining subordinates of Venerable Lord Saber had died tragically in the hands of the other Yama Kings.

Besides He Hanqing and Venerable Lord Saber, there were only a few of survivors from the Four Seasons Tower. It was an irreversibly, serious loss, and defeat had almost become a concluded outcome!

This was tantamount to having all the elites of the Hall of Spring slaughtered simultaneously.

The King of Equality's face was full of compassion. Appearing in the air, he murmured, ”Ah, sin... Sin...”

His mouth moved as he muttered softly, ”For this life was full of evil, so here we come for salvation, between life and death, there is no injustice and hatred. This life has ended, be there for the next. Go now, quickly; the gate to the afterlife is open...”

Venerable Lord Saber took a deep breath, ”Emperor Song, the Four Seasons Tower will never forgive today's actions. Concourse of the Underworld, you shall regret this. Even if you havemoney, you will need your life in order to enjoy it!”

He then turned around and shouted, ”Let's go!” ”

”If Venerable Lord Saber would like to leave, we will not hinder you.” Emperor Song’s face was indifferent, ”However, Supreme Lord Spring Frost here has to stay.”

He smiled faintly, ”Well, we don't actually need all of himto stay behind, just his head will suffice.”

He Hanqing chuckled even as a glance of violence flashed across his eyes. Chillingly, he uttered, ”It appears that there are only the Seven Kings and two envoys from the Concourse of the Underworld who are here today. At most, you brought along a few Gold-ranked assassins. With such combat might, this old, useless one and the Venerable Lord Saber will have to admit defeat. However, if you want to keep this old man here just by relying on these, you are merely hoping in vain, and probably suffer from some form of delusion as well.”

Emperor Song had both of his hands behind his back, as he lightly uttered, ”Whether it is possible or not, we will have to do it in order to know. What do you say, Supreme Lord He?”

With a brazen flash of the saber, Venerable Lord Saber moved to He Hanqing’s side. In a cold voice, he whispered, ”Even if this reputed one has always been at odds with He Hanqing, at this juncture of life and death, this reputed one shall as we are both of the Four Seasons Tower! ”

He uttered icily, ”Emperor Song, I believe that you can see it yourself. Although we are somewhat disadvantaged, one of your brother’s life will be the price to kill He Hanqing! And if you were to add me to the equation also... well... ”

Venerable Lord Saber continued to sneer, ”Even if you managed to kill He Hanqing in the end, the ten Yama Kings of the Concourse of the Underworld would have three members less, at the very least. I can even guarantee it. After all, unlike He Hanqing, I am uninjured.”

”How could Emperor Song not see such a clear and distinct situation?”

”It's alright if you kill the ordinary members of the Four Seasons Tower. However, if you kill one of the four Supreme Lords, you have to think about the consequences!”

Emperor Song hovered in the air with his arms behind his back. His eyes were resolute, but he did not speak.

He naturally knew that what Venerable Lord Saber had said was but the truth.

Since everyone had already reached such levels, a lie would not be able to deceive anyone. There was no feeling each other with simple deception.

The situation was so simple and clear.

In this battle, his side had undoubtedly occupied an overwhelming advantage.

If He Hanqing had been alone, the ten of them working jointly would definitely be able to take He Hanqing down, albeit at a sore price. However, there was Venerable Lord Saber now. They would have to sacrifice at least two to three people’s lives to kill He Hanqing alone.

Yes, it was entirely possible!

Moreover, it was impossible to keep the Venerable Lord Saber behind!

They were all experts of the same level. Working together to block or defeat the other party was not difficult at all. However, if they really wished to kill the other side by not paying the same price, the difficulty level would have surged up more than ten-fold. By comparing their current combat power, it was an impossible feat.

Emperor Song’s expression was unreadable, while he coldly calculated the situation, a person from his own camp could be seen rushing forward without leave.

”There's nothing much left to say. He Hanqing's time is up and he must be returned to the afterlife today!”

First Court King Qinguang had already made his first move.

Following that, the King of Equality, King Taishan, and King Chujiang had simultaneously acted. The four of them instantly enveloped the whole sky with the underworld's fog.

Two silhouettes could be seen looming elusively within the mist, seeking for an opportunistic attack.

They were Ox-Head and Horse-Face, the two envoys of the Underworld.

He Hanqing was extremely angered and bitter. It was indeed the first time in his life he had encountered such dire enemies.
