Martial Arts Universe: With a single command, 100,000 iron cavalry will sweep across the martial wor
Chapter 29 Going Back on One's Promises
Su Yan looked at Su Qingfeng with eyes full of admiration. She hadn't expected her father to be even more cunning than her; this time, Murong Bo and his son were probably going to be played to death by her father.
Xiao Feng looked at Su Yan's father and thought to himself, "No wonder this girl is so clever; she must have learned it from her father." However, he wasn't too worried now. He just needed to stay by Su Yan's side and protect her; he could leave the rest to Su Yan's father.
At this moment, all the martial artists around Xingzilin were silent, and no one dared to make a sound. Everyone wanted to see if this grandmaster who had suddenly appeared would ultimately kill Wu Xiangjun of the Song Dynasty.
Duan Zhengchun, Song Qingshu of Wudang, and Yue Buqun of Huashan were all filled with remorse. They had never imagined that the young girl was actually the daughter of Wu Xiangjun of the Great Song Dynasty, a princess of the current dynasty. If they, these martial arts practitioners, had truly harmed the princess, they would surely have been besieged and annihilated by the imperial army. Now, they could only hope that the Grandmaster could eliminate Wu Xiangjun to avoid future retaliation.
The Yin-Yang School's Dongjun had been keeping an eye on Su Qingfeng ever since he appeared, pondering how to approach this Wu Xiangjun—this man was far more difficult to deal with than Yan Dan, whom he had encountered before.
Seeing that Murong Bo's men had swiftly and decisively killed the old grandmaster, Su Qingfeng couldn't help but admire the two men's formidable strength. Murong Bo, seeing the old man dead, said to Su Qingfeng with a grim face, "Lord Wu Xiang, the man is dead, can you release my son now?" Su Qingfeng coughed lightly and shook his head, saying, "Not now."
Murong Bo's aura surged, causing the surrounding trees to shake and dust to fly. He glared at Su Qingfeng: "Does Lord Wu Xiang intend to go back on his word?"
Seeing that he was truly angry, Su Qingfeng smiled and said, "Don't be hasty. I only said I would release Murong Fu after killing that old grandmaster, but remembering that you fought with my wife, you still have to do one more thing for me as an apology." Murong Bo trembled with rage: "You...you've gone too far!"
Su Qingfeng pressed the tip of his knife between Murong Fu's legs and said leisurely, "Nonsense. Murong Bo, you only need to do one more small favor, and you can get your son back. Otherwise, the Murong family line will likely end—unless you can have another child." Murong Fu looked at his father in terror, fearing he would be abandoned. Seeing Su Qingfeng using his son as leverage again, Murong Bo cursed, "You scoundrel! What else do you want?"
Su Qingfeng smiled and pointed to the restless martial artists who were about to attack the army: "See those people? They tried to attack my men just now. Have your Innate Realm subordinates clear out the ones below the Innate Realm. That shouldn't be difficult, right?"
Murong Bo looked up and saw a dense crowd of nearly a thousand people. He felt dizzy: "This... nearly a thousand people! I only have twenty-odd men under my command, how can I possibly kill them all?" Su Qingfeng, however, remained unhurried and continued speaking to Murong Bo...
"Murong Bo, do you think I'd believe you? Even with only two Grandmasters and twenty-odd Innate Realm experts left, it's more than enough to accomplish this; it'll just take a little longer." "**, you're a real **."
"We're the same kind of people, except now you're a ** (a term used to describe someone who is corrupt or oppressed), and I'm an official."
"Lord Wu Xiang, this is the last time. If you go back on your word again, I will spare no effort to kill you all." "Understood, understood. You may begin your performance."
Wan Guan and the others now had a new understanding of Su Qingfeng's ruthlessness—he was practically treating Murong Bo as his henchman. Murong Bo's Achilles' heel was in Su Qingfeng's hands; if they didn't comply, the Murong family might truly be wiped out. "Attack! All of you, attack! Kill those martial artists, leave no one alive! Xiao Wu, all of you, attack too!" "Yes, Master!"
At this moment, over a hundred more of Murong Bo's men emerged from the surrounding martial artists. While most of them were only at the first or second level of the Innate Realm, two of them were Grandmasters. Together with the previous twenty-odd Innate Realm experts, they charged towards the martial artists and began their attack.
"Run! They're all innate masters, we can't beat them!" "Damn it, fight them! Otherwise we'll all die!" "Attack together! Otherwise we'll all be dead!"
"No, don't kill me! I was just here to watch the fun..."
Thousands of martial artists were thrown into chaos by Murong Bo's forces, screams filling the air. However, facing numerous innate masters, they were utterly unable to mount an effective resistance. Even the few innate masters among the martial artists were killed before they could even make a move, killed by four grandmasters under Murong Bo's command.
Su Qingfeng looked at the more than one hundred ambushers who had suddenly appeared and secretly rejoiced: "That old fox really did have a trick up his sleeve. Luckily I was alert, otherwise if these people had suddenly attacked my army, the consequences would have been unimaginable."
Wanwan watched from the side and whispered, "Su Qingfeng, you're really cunning." She hadn't expected that Su Qingfeng could force Murong Bo to reveal all his hidden forces. After this battle, Murong Bo's men would surely suffer heavy casualties—after all, there were nearly a thousand people in the martial arts world, and if they knew they had nowhere to escape, their final counterattack would be enough to take many people down with them.
Snapped!
Su Qingfeng raised his hand and gently patted Wanwan's bottom, correcting her, "That's called being smart. If I weren't smart, I would have been killed long ago."
Wanwan blushed, grabbed Su Qingfeng's ear, and scolded, "You little rascal! If you spank me again, I'll never forgive you!"
"You're used to it, don't be angry."
After the guard released his grip, Su Qingfeng glanced at Murong Bo, who was still glaring at him. At the moment, Su Qingfeng couldn't do anything about this cunning old man.
He just wanted to stall a little longer, hoping that Li Qiushui would arrive soon. If he really called for Xiao Feng's father, Xiao Yuanshan, and Xiao Yuanshan wasn't there, then he would have no choice but to take the women with him and slip away as quickly as possible.
Su Qingfeng turned to Lin Shiyin beside him and asked, "Lin Shiyin, if that old scoundrel tries to harm me, will your cousin save me?"
Lin Shiyin looked him up and down, then shook her head: "No way. With you in such a state, how could my cousin possibly save you?"
Upon hearing this, Su Qingfeng pushed Lin Shiyin away and said, "Fine, I don't know you. Get out of here. From now on, I don't have a friend like you who doesn't value loyalty."
Seeing that Su Qingfeng was pushing her again, Lin Shiyin immediately drew her dagger and threatened, "Su Qingfeng, do you want to die?"
"Put the knife down! Can't you see what's going on? I still have hostages. If they escape, we're all doomed." Su Qingfeng was annoyed when she saw Lin Shiyin brandishing a knife. This Lin Shiyin was anything but cute; she was always pulling out knives these days.
Seeing his nervous look, Lin Shiyin raised her chin arrogantly and said, "You're the one who's doomed, I'll be fine."
Su Qingfeng deliberately provoked her: "If you're so capable, why don't you go and kill Murong Bo?"
Lin Shiyin scoffed and rolled her eyes at Su Qingfeng: "Don't try to provoke me. Murong Bo is a Grandmaster, and I don't want my cousin to fight him. My cousin isn't in good health, and I won't let him fight."
She could actually see through Su Qingfeng's plan—if they were really in danger, Su Qingfeng would still rely on her cousin to save him. Right now, she was just trying to scare him; if Su Qingfeng said a few kind words, she wasn't incapable of agreeing.
"Lin Shiyin, our friendship ends here."
Su Qingfeng pushed Murong Fu to Zhou Zhiruo and Zhao Min beside her, then turned and walked towards Su Yan.
Seeing that he was truly ignoring her, Lin Shiyin quickly stopped him and asked, "Hey, where are you going, you idiot?"
Su Qingfeng said irritably, "Are you blind? Can't you see I'm going to find my daughter?"
"Damn it!"
Zhou Zhiruo and Zhao Min were stunned for a moment. This Su Qingfeng actually abandoned Murong Fu to them and wandered around like nothing had happened. Wasn't he afraid that Murong Bo might suddenly attack?
Zhou Zhiruo asked Zhao Min in confusion, "Zhao Min, why did that guy throw hostages at us? Isn't he afraid Murong Bo will capture him?"
Zhao Min felt a surge of anger just looking at Su Qingfeng. She hadn't wanted to get involved, but her master, Zhou Zhiruo, had already dragged her in. Now, she just wanted to watch these Han people fight amongst themselves.
Su Qingfeng entrusted Murong Fu to Zhao Min and Zhou Zhiruo's care, a fact witnessed by all. Everyone now assumed that Zhao Min, the Yuan Dynasty princess, was siding with Wu Xiangjun. Zhao Min was both anxious and angry. How could she now secretly instigate infighting within the Han martial arts world? The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She kicked Murong Fu, muttering under her breath:
"What is he afraid of? Didn't he see that there are soldiers with crossbows all around? Guan Guan has been staying close to Su Qingfeng the whole time."
"Even if Murong Bo suddenly makes a move, Su Qingfeng has the army protecting him, and Guanguan can immediately get him away. I even suspect that Su Qingfeng is deliberately luring Murong Bo into making a move—so that he can then control Murong Bo and negotiate with him."
Zhou Zhiruo, upon hearing this, glared angrily at Su Qingfeng and said to Zhao Min:
"This person is too cunning; we need to be wary of him in the future."
On the other side, Murong Bo saw Su Qingfeng walking towards the army and intended to seize him, but suddenly saw Su Qingfeng smile at him. Murong Bo was stunned, unable to understand why Wu Xiangjun was smiling at him.
He glanced at Guan Guan beside Su Qingfeng, then looked around at the heavily guarded soldiers holding crossbows, and suddenly realized—Su Qingfeng had deliberately lured him into making a move.
Murong Bo thought to himself, if he made a move now, the army would surely unleash a chaotic barrage of arrows, and that female grandmaster would definitely take Su Qingfeng away instantly. If he failed, Su Qingfeng would definitely use his son, Murong Fu, to threaten him again. He stared at Su Qingfeng, gritting his teeth and muttering under his breath:
"Insidious, this Lord Wu Xiang is truly too insidious... Fortunately, I saw through his scheme, otherwise next time his condition would probably be for me to kill my own people."
Guan Guan was led by the hand by Su Qingfeng, keeping a wary eye on Murong Bo the whole way. She didn't understand why Su Qingfeng wanted to leave the safe place, but since Su Qingfeng wanted to leave, she followed.
Su Qingfeng quickly walked to Su Yan's side, and Murong Bo still hadn't made a move. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief—this time, he was betting that Murong Bo wouldn't dare to act rashly.
Su Qingfeng came specifically because he was afraid Murong Bo might suddenly attack Su Yan. With him by Su Yan's side, he could teleport her away if danger arose. After stopping, Su Qingfeng turned to Murong Bo and smiled:
"Murong Bo, why have you learned your lesson this time?"
Murong Bo snorted coldly and said disdainfully:
"Hmph, don't think I don't know what you're up to. Trying to lure me into making a move? Lord Wu Xiang, you underestimate me."
"What a pity, what a real pity."
Su Qingfeng shook her head. Murong Bo refrained from making a move this time, but he'll probably be even less likely to fall for a trick in the future.
He glanced to the other side—Shi Feixuan had severely injured Xuanci and seemed poised for victory soon. Meanwhile, Huang Yaoshi and Hong Qigong were locked in a fierce battle, neither gaining the upper hand for the time being.
Su Qingfeng thought to himself:
"Huang Yaoshi's fighting style is... really terrible."
Just then, Su Yan and Huang Rong walked up to Su Qingfeng and overheard his whisper. Huang Rong immediately raised her fist angrily and said to Su Qingfeng:
"**If you dare speak ill of my father again, I'll have to take action!"
Huang Rong was shocked that Su Qingfeng had only just arrived and was already gossiping about her father. Her father had fought Hong Qigong to save Su Qingfeng's daughter. Su Qingfeng, on the other hand, not only watched the spectacle but also made sarcastic remarks, infuriating Huang Rong so much that she wanted to teach him a lesson immediately.
Su Qingfeng looked at Huang Rong, simply smiled, and casually pulled Wanwan in front of him, saying:
"Huang Rong, you think you can beat me up? See my wife? She's a grandmaster. If you don't want to get beaten up, you'd better behave yourself."
Huang Rong stared at Su Qingfeng speechlessly. She never expected that this person would use others to threaten her. He was really despicable. She finally understood that Su Qingfeng was a complete scoundrel.
Wanwan's face flushed; she hadn't expected Su Qingfeng to speak to her like that in front of his daughter. She caught a glimpse of Su Yan's gaze and felt even more helpless.
Su Yan looked at Wanwan with a strange expression, then turned to ask Su Qingfeng:
"Father, when did you find a girl? Is this really my stepmother?"
Su Qingfeng walked to Su Yan's side and ruffled her hair:
"Girl, I haven't even said anything to you yet. How did you manage to escape from Suzhou?"
Su Yan blinked and replied playfully:
