Chapter 1709: Chapter 1710: The So-called God of Killing
Zixuan Hall, Purple Pavilion.
Luo Qing followed Su Chengyu back to the Purple Pavilion and walked into Zixuan Pavilion, but he was not in a hurry to make a move against Su Chengyu.
After all, Xu Nanzhi was no longer here, and the simplest thing he needed to do next was to stall Su Chengyu.
Seeing that the other party didn’t intend to act imdiately, Su Chengyu also didn’t rush. He rose and walked to the side of the tea table after leaving Luo Changping’s side.
After surveying the area, he sat in the seat where Xu Nanzhi had previously sat.
“Nan Zhi sat here before, right?”
Luo Changping lifted his head, glanced, and nodded.
Luo Qing crossed his hands together, leaned against the distant railing, and quietly observed inside.
After sitting down, Su Chengyu sipped the tea brewed by Xu Nanzhi, and the familiar taste brought him a sense of distant tranquility.
Looking up and gazing toward the direction his eyes were facing, Su Chengyu couldn’t help but reveal a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
A thousand miles away, Xu Nanzhi evidently had been keeping an eye on the direction he was in too.
Luo Qing noticed Su Chengyu’s action, unconsciously picturing a figure in his mind, then couldn’t help but say, “You remind of an old acquaintance, I have to say, you’re very much like him.”
Su Chengyu was a bit surprised, and after a thought, he looked up at Luo Qing and asked, “Su Zhedian?”
“Hmm?”
Luo Qing was sowhat taken aback, evidently not expecting Su Chengyu to know this na.
Luo Changping’s heart tightened upon hearing this, not understanding why Su Chengyu would voluntarily ntion this na.
However, having concealed it all his life, Su Chengyu nearly proactively stated this ti.
“Su Zhedian is my father.”
The unexpected answer caused Luo Qing to raise his head in surprise, looking at Su Chengyu before him, he chuckled a few tis bitterly, saying, “So it is, truly his son, your style is really like his. What a sha, what a sha…”
Listening to Luo Qing’s tone, Su Chengyu blinked and said, “Seems like you were indeed friends with my father.”
“I admired his carefree nature, sothing I’ve sought all my life but never attained.”
After pausing a mont, Luo Qing continued, “Strictly speaking, it’s not just admiration; it’s risen to the level of envy. But that’s all there is to it.”
Su Chengyu chuckled lightly, “So, you’re saying there’s no way you’d spare because of my father?”
“I’ve said it before, I am not him. So no matter what relationship I had with Su Zhedian, I cannot let you go because of personal reasons. This is the farthest you can go.”
Luo Qing didn’t imdiately act, but a large part was because of the Blood Covenant.
As long as either Xu Nanzhi or Luo Yunshan is alive, the Blood Covenant’s efficacy will exist.
Should Luo Qing act against Su Chengyu, it will inevitably have a significant impact on Luo Yunshan.
Having quickly understood Luo Qing’s aning, Su Chengyu looked up at the figure crowned as the God of Killing by Xia Country, calmly stating, “Not unexpected, after all, unlike Jiang Mo, you didn’t directly pledge allegiance to Xia Country, right?”
Luo Qing remained silent for a mont, then looked at Su Chengyu, saying, “You even know that?”
Su Chengyu rose while continuing to regard the environnt of Xu Nanzhi’s life in the Luo Clan and spoke calmly.
“Though I don’t know much about your Ancient Clan, I certainly know so things about Xia Country. The Ten Killing Gods are by no ans the strongest ten among the Ancient Clan, nor likely the ones who earned the most rit in the centennial battle. And observing Jiang Mo’s current stance, the so-called Ten Killing Gods are likely just ten Ancient Clan mbers Xia Country desires to recruit. But Jiang Mo chose Xia Country, and you chose the Luo Clan, am I right?”
Seeing Su Chengyu reveal what the God of Killing title represents, Luo Qing ceased to conceal and straightforwardly spoke.
“So I advise you to let it go; unlike that Luo Changping over there, and even more unlike Jiang Mo, nothing will change my stance, nothing will make betray the Luo Clan.”
Despite the impassioned speech, Su Chengyu couldn’t sense any pride, instead, it felt more like a self-mockery.
“So it seems, even if I threaten you with your life, you wouldn’t disclose anything about Nan Zhi’s whereabouts to .”
Luo Qing perceived Su Chengyu had intentions to act, finally standing and looking at Su Chengyu, calmly saying, “Just understand, I respect any decision made by the Elder Council, and my personal will is insignificant before the collective will of the Luo Clan. My only task is to trap you here.”
Bam!
Wind swept like clouds in disarray, and before Su Chengyu could take the initiative, sensing his dormant power, Luo Qing was the first to strike at Su Chengyu.
With a sweeping force pressuring Su Chengyu back several ters, he had no choice but to loosen his grip on the Dragon Slayer Sword, channeling the uncontrolled blade speeding towards Luo Qing.
Predictably, Luo Qing deftly dodged the Dragon Slayer’s strike with a sidestep, observing the scrambling Su Chengyu, Luo Qing’s expression remained indifferent.
“Is this it? What about the sword you wielded against Luo Bing?”
Su Chengyu lifted his hand, summoning the Dragon Slayer Sword, it swiftly reversed direction towards Luo Qing again, who without even turning his head, repelled it with a single hand, sending the Dragon Slayer spiraling back to Su Chengyu’s grasp.
Su Chengyu eyed the person before him handling his attacks with ease, squinting, he said, “Why rush? It couldn’t take that sword; you rember it?”
As his words accompanied a myriad of sword shadows rushing towards Luo Qing, the latter dodged while retreating, and his cautious stance clearly signaled an intention not to allow Su Chengyu any chance to counter.
“Why? Thought you said you wouldn’t go easy, why are you only defending?”
Despite being the aggressor, every striking move seed overwhelmingly aggressive; Su Chengyu, however, knew it was rely to bind his hands and feet, preventing him from seizing the opportunity to fight recklessly. At present, the focus was more on controlling the overall picture rather than pursuing details, forsaking an imdiate advantage to leave no counterattack opening for Su Chengyu.
“You already knew.”
Luo Qing spoke rather discontentedly, puzzled internally as to how a figure like Su Zhedian could sire such a cunning offspring.
If it weren’t clear to him that Su Chengyu had no reason to deceive, he would suspect those previous words were purely ant to scare him.
After all, Su Zhedian was not terrifying, but to all Ancient Clan mbers, his fearso reputation was even greater than Xia Country’s present threat.
“Since you don’t attack, it’s my turn.”
Knowing the opponent refrained due to the Blood Covenant, Su Chengyu did not hold back in the slightest.
On the contrary, it was upon confirming this that Su Chengyu’s actions grew more unrestrained.
Unfortunately, Su Chengyu could not again use Immortal Decapitating and Divine Enthronent now, otherwise with his current strategy of trading injuries for life, the opponent wouldn’t have any defense, even dodging would be restricted.
