Mr. Bodyguard Novel - Chapter 1326
Chapter 1326 Metamorphosis (12.24.1)
Zhao Xingyi’s plea for mercy was completely unworthy of Jiang Feng’s attention. Jiang Feng, who had experienced too many life and death experiences, had a mentality set in his heart that if he wanted to kill me, he would have to have the consciousness of being killed by me.
However, out of respect for Dong Huang Jue, Jiang Feng still asked Dong Huang Jue, “Seventh Brother, what do you think? Shall we talk to him?”
“Let’s talk.” Dong Huangyue nodded.
Jiang Feng looked at East Emperor Jue and was silent for a moment. Soon, he raised his right hand and shouted, “Everyone, stop!”
Jiang Feng gave the order and the Black Wolf Cavalry instantly stopped attacking. They each turned around the head of the Black Scaled Wolf Cavalry and gathered back behind Jiang Feng without any command.
Jiang Feng looked at East Emperor Jue and asked, “Seventh Brother, what are you going to talk about?”
East Emperor Jue straightened his back and shouted, “Zhao Xingyi! Tell all of you to come over and put your weapons in front of us.”
“Alright!”
Zhao Xingyi replied and stood up first, followed by a middle-aged man with light green hair.
When the green-haired man appeared, Yao Dao, who was riding alongside Jiang Feng, whispered to Jiang Feng that this person was the City Lord of Star Condensation City, Zhao Xinyang.
Zhao Xingyi and Zhao Xinyang brought their subordinates to Dong Huangyu and Jiang Feng. Dong Huangyu waited for them to throw all their weapons in front of him before he looked at Zhao Xingyi and said, “Zhao Xingyi, now you are defeated prisoners. If you want to survive, take out some of your captives.”
Jiang Feng turned his head to look at Dong Huang Jue once again. Ever since he knew Dong Huang Jue, many things had happened to him. Although these things were unfortunate for Dong Huangyue, it had to be said that they gave Dong Huangyue unimaginable growth.
Jiang Feng simply stopped talking and sat down to see what Dong Huangyue would do next.
Zhao Xingyi and Zhao Xinyang were also stunned by Dong Huangyue’s words. At this moment of hesitation, more than 800 Black Wolf Cavalry pulled out half of the long saber at their waist.
Xiao Sha’s saber-soldier aura was cold, and Zhao Xingyi’s body trembled slightly as he immediately knelt on the ground.
Zhao Xinyang saw his son kneel down with a face full of grief and indignation, but in the end, he also failed to withstand the pressure and knelt on the ground together.
Zhao Xingyi and Zhao Xinyang both knelt down, so the rest of the Star Condensation City guards naturally knelt down as well.
“Zhao Xinyang, Zhao Xingyi. As officials of the Eastern Emperor Shaosi’s Manor, you two actually committed the crime of attempting to kill the Young Master. Do you know what kind of crime this is?” Dong Huang Jue took a few steps forward and looked down at the Zhao Clan father and son with a condescending gaze.
“Seventh … Seventh Young Master, we know that we are wrong. Please spare our lives. From now on, I, Zhao Xinyang, am willing to follow Seventh Young Master and serve him.” Zhao Xinyang said nervously to Dong Huangyue.
After hearing Zhao Xinyang’s words, East Emperor Jue nodded lightly. He directly took out two sets of slave ankles from his storage magic treasure and threw them in front of Zhao Xinyang and Zhao Xingyi.
“Since you’ve decided to follow me, then show your loyalty.”
When Zhao Xinyang saw the slave ankle in front of him, his face immediately turned pale. This ankle was the symbol of a slave in the entire Great Void Continent. No matter how high your cultivation is, you will be looked down upon by everyone after wearing this slave anklet.
As Void Divinity Race wrote in the Slave Act, “slaves are the personal property of their owners and are protected by the property laws of Void Divinity Race.”
Obviously, the word “private property” was enough to tell the status of slaves in the Great Void Continent. They were like teacups and horses that could be disposed of by their masters at will.
No matter what, Zhao Xinyang was from a noble family, so he couldn’t afford to lose face when he was made a slave.
After a long silence, Zhao Xinyang suddenly pulled out a short knife from his waist and stabbed it into his chest. Blood oozed out of his mouth as he said in a trembling voice, “The Zhao Clan of Star Condensation City would rather die than be a slave.”
“Father!” Zhao Xingyi didn’t expect Zhao Xinyang to be so decisive. He cried out while lying on Zhao Xinyang’s corpse.
At this moment, East Emperor Jue indifferently said to Zhao Xingyi, “Your father has the style of a noble. I, East Emperor Jue, admire this very much. What about you? Zhao Xingyi, do you have such a style?”
Dong Huangyue immediately pulled out the sword from the saddle and threw it at Zhao Xingyi.
Zhao Xingyi looked up at East Emperor Jue in shock. His bloodshot eyes were filled with fear and nervousness. Then, Zhao Xingyi picked up the sword thrown out by East Emperor Jue with trembling.
After hesitating for a long time, Zhao Xingyi finally threw away his sword and chose the slave ankle that Dong Huangyue had thrown him.
At this moment, Zhao Xingyi stopped crying. He was like a puppet that had lost its soul and collapsed to the ground powerlessly.
Anyone could understand that Zhao Xingyi was already crippled. What he threw away was not his sword, but his dignity and integrity.
Looking at Zhao Xingyi’s appearance, Jiang Feng felt a little unbearable. In the end, he still couldn’t bear it. He said, “Why, Seventh Brother? He’s no different from dying. The only difference is that he can still feel pain while he’s alive.”
East Emperor Jue sat upright on the back of the wolf. He, who had been calmly and indifferently dealing with everything just now, suddenly his eyes turned red.
Tears flowed out of East Emperor Jue’s eyes. East Emperor Jue looked at Zhao Xingyi and answered Jiang Feng’s question.
“Brother Feng, I did it on purpose. I just want to remember Zhao Xingyi’s appearance. Only by remembering his appearance will I not make the same choice as him when facing the same choice in the future.”
Dong Huangyue turned to look at Jiang Feng. At this moment, he was already in tears. His voice was hoarse as he said to Jiang Feng, “Brother Feng, when my father was still alive, I relied on my father. Now that my father is dead, I rely on you. I’m very scared,
I’m afraid that one day when you’re not by my side, I’ll become like Zhao Xingyi.
When my father was alive, I didn’t fight for his face. Now that my father is dead, I swear that I will never embarrass him again.
Brother Feng, promise me if I really become like Zhao Xingyi for some reason.
You killed me! ”
Jiang Feng looked at East Emperor Jue solemnly. At this moment, he had an illusion, as if East Emperor Jue had suddenly grown up.
Jiang Feng said very seriously to Dong Huang Jue, “Don’t worry, Seventh Brother. I will always support you. Furthermore, I believe that you will never become like him.”
“En!” “Let’s go, Brother Feng. Although tomorrow is the funeral day of my father, there will be a coffin sealing ceremony tonight. I want to hurry up and hope to see my father one last time before the coffin is sealed.” Dong Huangyue nodded fiercely and looked in the direction of Yilong City.
“Alright.” Jiang Feng replied and his voice suddenly rose, “Everyone, follow orders. Target Yilong City, move forward at full speed!”
