Legend of Swordsman - Chapter 3422
Chapter 3422 Execution
“Zhao Mang, what nonsense are you talking about? Hurry up and scram!” The head of the Zhao family was extremely shocked and furious.
He had finally found an opportunity to curry favor with this green hate saint and use it to benefit the Zhao family. Yet, at this moment, Zhao Mang actually came out to cause trouble and even directly cursed the Saint Qingyan and Beast in front of everyone, how could the patriarch of the Zhao family not be angry?
However, Zhao Mang coldly snorted, he said, “Isn’t it so? In the entire Bone Flood Dragon Realm, who doesn’t know that this Saint Qingyan is a beast with a human face? Just in the past hundred years, who knows how many women have died in his hands and were tortured to death by him. If fourth younger sister falls into his hands, I’m afraid her fate will not be any better.”
Zhao Mang’s words caused Zhao Ling, who was in the middle of the hall, to tremble.
It was because she had heard of Saint Qingyan’s infamous name that she was so frightened when the head of the Zhao family wanted to gift her to Saint Qingyan as a maidservant.
If it was anyone else, even if she was unwilling, she would not be so frightened.
“Head of the Zhao family, it seems that your Zhao family doesn’t really want to hand Zhao Ling over to me?” Saint Qingyan had a bewitching smile on her face as she looked at Zhao Yong, the head of the Zhao family.
Being looked at by Saint Qingyan, Zhao Yong’s heart trembled, however, he forced a smile and said, “Saint Qingyan, you’ve misunderstood. The entire Zhao family respects you greatly and is willing to gift Zhao Ling to you as a maidservant. As for this Zhao Mang that you see now, although he still has my bloodline, I’ve already severed my relationship with him. Furthermore, my Zhao family has already decided to completely expel him from the family. Therefore, his words can not represent my Zhao family at
all.”
“Is that so?” Saint Qingyan raised his eyebrows.
“Yes, yes.” A handsome man beside him echoed, “Lord Qingyan, it’s not just father. As his older brother, I haven’t acknowledged him as my younger brother for a long time. Our Zhao family doesn’t have a trash like him.”
This person was one of Zhao Mang’s two older brothers, the eldest son of the Zhao family.
“Right, right, he’s not a member of our Zhao family!”
“Hmph, although our Zhao family isn’t considered a big family, we still have some prestige in Wu Xin City. How could we allow a useless existence like him, who can’t even gather divine power, to exist? We should have chased him out of the family a long time ago.” “It’s fine if he’s a useless person, but he actually dares to speak shamelessly and insult the green hate saint. He really deserves to die. Grandmaster, I suggest that we directly execute Zhao Mang.”
Voices continuously sounded in the hall. No one was on Zhao Mang’s side at all. They all said that they wanted to expel Zhao Mang from the family. There were even a few who suggested that Zhao Mang be directly executed.
“Directly execute him?” Zhao Yong frowned slightly.
“Why? Is Grandmaster Zhao unwilling to part with him?” Saint Qingyan looked over at this moment.
Zhao Yong immediately reacted. At the same time, he also saw Saint Qingyan’s intention, immediately, he coldly said, “That’s right. This Zhao Mang has always been disrespectful toward his elders. Today, he even insulted Saint Qingyan in front of everyone. This is simply disrespectful. What is the point of keeping such a person in this world?
“He should be directly executed so that the hatred in Saint Qingyan’s heart can be appeased.”
Zhao Mang’s body trembled when he heard these words. However, he still clenched his teeth tightly and stared at Zhao Yong with his scarlet eyes. Zhao Ling also looked at Zhao Yong with a face full of disbelief.
As the saying goes, a vicious tiger would not eat its own son. However, for the sake of the clan’s interests, Zhao Yong had first planned to sacrifice his daughter, Zhao Ling, to curry favor with Saint Qingyan. Now, in order to dispel Saint Qingyan’s anger…he had actually made the decision to kill Zhao Mang!
“Grandmaster Zhao, since you want to execute him, I wonder who should do it?” Saint Qingyan casually asked.
“Although this Zhao Mang has offended you, Saint Qingyan, if you were to do it yourself, it would be a loss of status. Therefore, I won’t trouble you with this matter. Let me, the value of the Zhao Clan, do it myself.” Zhao Yong’s expression was cold, his gaze toward Zhao Mang no longer had a trace of kinship.
“Zhao Yong, you’re really ruthless!” Zhao Mang gritted his teeth, however, he then burst into laughter, “Haha, kill me If you want to. After all, I’m not of much use in this world. Being able to die by your hands can be considered as repaying the favor of your bloodline. Zhao Yong, remember this. From now on, I, Zhao Mang, will no longer owe you anything!”
“And all of you!”
Zhao Mang’s eyes were bloodshot. He looked as if he was madly looking at the powerful warriors of the Zhao family around him. These powerful warriors looked at him with extremely cold gazes.
“Haha, a group of heartless people. No wonder the Zhao family could only stay in this small Wu Xin City for so long. With you people around, I’m afraid that it won’t be long before the Zhao family will completely cease to exist!”
“Just wait. All of you just wait. This day will come sooner or later!”
“The Zhao family is destined to be destroyed. They are destined to walk on the path of strangers!”
“Zhao Mang, you still dare to boast shamelessly when death is at hand!” Zhao Yong shouted angrily.
“You shut up!” Zhao Mang coldly glanced at Zhao Yong. The coldness in his eyes caused even Zhao Yong, a rank seven True Saint, to tremble. “Zhao Yong, I only hate myself for being born into such a filthy family like the Zhao family. I hate myself for being too weak and unable to bring my fourth sister away safely. But let me tell you, even if I die and become a malicious ghost after I die, I will forever haunt the Zhao family and make them restless until the day I see you die and the day the Zhao family is completely destroyed!”
“Impudent!”
Zhao Yong’s gaze turned cold, and he did not allow Zhao Mang to continue speaking. His figure flashed, and he transformed into a sharp ray of light that charged toward Zhao Mang.
Everyone in the hall saw this ray of light that was filled with killing intent, and no one stepped forward to stop it.
As for Zhao Mang, he was still laughing maniacally, and it looked as if he was about to be shattered by that ray of light.
However, suddenly…
Buzz!
A wave of power erupted in the middle of the hall without any warning.
The figure that Zhao Yong was charging towards was immediately struck by this wave of power. In an instant, he was blasted away like a cannonball and smashed heavily into the wall of the hall. The wall instantly exploded, however, the entire room did not collapse.
This sudden scene caused everyone in the hall, including Saint Qingyan, to jump in shock. Soon after, they immediately noticed the two figures that appeared out of thin air in the middle of the hall.
One of these two figures was a young man in a golden robe, while the other was a sloppy old man in grey robes who stood beside the golden-robed man like a guard. After the two of them appeared in the middle of the hall…the casual sounds of conversation also slowly echoed in the hall.
