Chapter 425: The target is the Grandmaster realm, eight years! (2-in-1)
Knowing that Su Jizi was the representative of the Su family and planning this matter from beginning to end, Song Changming felt a little relieved when he killed him tonight.
As for Zhao Boqi, he only made a compromise in order to preserve the last bit of the Zhao family's bloodline and agreed to help Song Changming lure out Su Jizi tonight.
Among them, there is naturally Hu Zhong’s tacit support.
The three parties worked hard to set up this situation.
Seeing that Su Jizi died before him, Zhao Boqi's expression became a little more happy.
Although he hated Song Changming for killing his ancestor, he also hated the Su family and Su Jizi.
"I hope you remember what you said before." Zhao Boqi looked at Song Changming and said in a solemn voice.
"What I promise you is a promise. I won't care about the few Zhao bloodlines you left behind." Song Changming said calmly.
"Okay." Zhao Boqi took a deep breath and mobilized his own Gang Qi to cut off the nine martial arteries in his body. At the same time, his internal organs were shattered, and he died completely.
He knew very well that Song Changming and even Hu Zhong allowed the Zhao family to leave a few babies to carry on the family bloodline. This was the limit.
As the head of the Zhao family, he was going to die no matter what, so it would be better to take his own life.
Song Changming looked indifferent as he watched the head of the Zhao family being forced to commit suicide.
The enemy is the enemy. It is impossible for him to feel compassion for his past enemies of life and death, and he rarely shows mercy to his enemies.
He threw out two corpse-turning talismans, turned the corpse into two pools of black water, and then flew away.
Soon, he returned to the sky above the main city, holding his breath, and his figure blended into the night.
His cold gaze fell far away on the most conspicuous mansion in the core city, which was the Changshengsu Mansion.
He stared for a moment, his thoughts spinning in his mind.
Suddenly, Song Changming stretched out his right hand, and the thunder seed in his body floated to the palm of his hand. He held it and turned it slowly.
Each rotation can attract the energy from the surroundings, creating circles of energy ripples.
And if Song Changming is slightly stimulated, this thunder seed will disturb the surrounding energy magnetic field and cause greater changes.
The thunder seed is the core of his 'Thunder Eater' orange characteristic, and its importance is comparable to the core in the body of the great demon.
A huge amount of golden thunder and destructive thunder are intertwined and condensed into such a small mine. If it is detonated, its power is no less than that of dropping a nuclear warhead.
"Long bright!"
At some point, King Cui and Hu Zhong both appeared next to Song Changming, staring at the thunder seed in his hand that contained terrifying energy fluctuations.
They are all masters, so they can naturally see how dangerous this thunder seed is at a glance.
Song Changming smiled faintly, put away the thunder seeds in his hands, and bowed his hands.
"I have met the king and the marshal. I never thought that I would disturb you two tonight. I hope you will forgive me."
Of course he knew what they were worried about.
"Chang Ming, don't be impulsive." Hu Zhong said first.
He was really afraid that Song Changming would lose his temper and throw the thunder seed, which looked very powerful at first glance, into the city.
"How could it be?" Song Changming squeezed his palm slightly and took back the thunder seed.
"Since I have promised the marshal, I will naturally not break it."
Seeing this, Hu Zhong breathed a sigh of relief.
Unknowingly, Song Changming had grown to a point where even he was afraid!
I still remember that when he taught Song Changming the Chiyun Sword, Song Changming was far from as powerful as he is now.
"I will place the blame for tonight's incident on Zhao Boqi. In addition, after tonight, if the Su family dares to cause trouble again, I will personally take action!" King Cui said to Song Changming with a serious look on his face.
These words are both comforting and wooing, and they can also be regarded as aggravated promises.
As for what King Cui would do if the Su Mansion caused trouble again, Song Changming naturally didn't ask any more questions and just thanked him.
In fact, in recent years, Song Changming was the only one who could make King Cui so interested.
King Cui nodded and disappeared into the night sky with Hu Zhong without stopping any longer.
Song Changming took one last look at the Su Mansion in the city, and returned to his residence without any unnecessary movement.
"Then the next step is the Grandmaster realm!"
Song Changming made it clear to himself the next big goal on the road to martial arts.
As for the last martial art vein in his body that had not yet been opened, he didn't take it too seriously.
The previous eight martial arteries had not been a bottleneck for him, and this last one was no exception. A breakthrough was inevitable.
And because he now has master-level strength, it is far beyond his current level.
Even if all nine martial arteries are connected in the future, there will be no qualitative leap forward in terms of his current strength.
Therefore, he naturally placed his expectations on the master realm in the future.
And once he officially sets foot in the Grandmaster realm, he will no longer have to worry about many things!
Song Changming stared at the candlelight in the room, his eyes flickering.
He fiddled with a simple ring between his fingers, which was the Qiankun Ring that he took off from Su Jizi's hand.
Although Su Jizi is not a martial arts master, as a relatively important member of the Changsheng family, he expects there to be a lot of good things in the ring.
There was a Qiankun Ring from the ancestor of the Zhao family before, but now that he has obtained another one, Song Changming's family wealth suddenly became much richer.
After a long period of practice, he was able to let go and spend as much as he wanted.
the next day.
Everything went as planned. Although Su Jizi was killed by Song Changming, the one who really took the blame was Zhao Boqi who had 'escaped'.
As for Song Changming, with the cooperation of Hu Zhong, he became an outsider in the murder.
The Su family indeed never caused trouble to him again, and they seemed to have let him go, both overtly and covertly.
The matter also came to an end.
As the days passed, fewer and fewer people even mentioned the demise of the Zhao family.
For the entire Cuibai Road, the Zhao family, as the top power, is actually very influential. It manages a large number of industries and is spread across the twenty-eight cities of Cuibai Road.
Its demise did have a big impact on the various places on Cuibai Road at first, but then these were taken over by major aristocratic families and divided up.
Cuibai Road is still the same Cuibai Road, nothing has changed, it's just that the Zhao family has been eliminated and kicked out of the chess table.
Day by day, month by month, year by year passes.
Every year new life is born, comes of age, rises, and emerges.
A new generation replaces the old, good shows are being staged in various cities and places, and wonderful stories are happening one after another.
In these stories, some people become the protagonists and some become the villains, but most people are just passers-by who witness these stories. All these constitute all phenomena in the world and various aspects of life.
Leicheng is located to the west of Cuibai Road. It has mountains and many stone veins. It is the place where Cuibai Road is most rich in spiritual crystal veins and jade.
There is a river here called Mine River.
The Mining River is wide, with the two banks separated by twenty miles. It was named because there are a large number of mineral treasures hidden at the bottom of the river.
The locals also called it the Mining Treasure River, so the river gave birth to a profession of mining people.
Most of the ships docked in this river are not fishing, but mining.
If a piece of valuable ore is fished out, it is much more valuable than fish.
However, recently there have been far fewer people traveling to mine.
It's not that there are no mines to be fished, but that the river has become dangerous in vain. Even the shores that used to be bustling with activity have suddenly become deserted, with only a few people lingering on the sides.
Some miners frowned and looked at the calm river with sad faces.
"Two months have passed. If we don't get out of the river, the family will be in trouble." A middle-aged man with dark skin wearing a bamboo hat sighed.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
"Don't take any more risks. Six pockmarked men left the river yesterday and didn't come back." Another older miner also shook his head and said.
"The officials in this city don't even think of a way. If this continues, we will really starve to death." Someone complained.
"What can be done? The officers and soldiers went out one after another, saying that there is a monster hiding in the river and eating people!" said a well-informed mine fisherman.
"Let me see, change your profession and don't risk your own life." Someone said.
"Oh, I've been working for half my life, and I'm done with it," the older miner sighed.
It’s easy for young people to change careers, but they don’t have the capital to do so when they’re older.
"No, I can only go out to the river to fish for mines. I want to try again!" The swarthy middle-aged man gritted his teeth and planned to get out of the river on the boat.
These days, some people have gone missing out of the river, but in fact many people have returned.
This is also the reason why miners still come out of the river with a sense of luck until now.
Even the miners who came back mostly caught fine ores that were rare in the past and sold them for a lot of coins.
Therefore, a more fantasy theory is also spreading, saying that the mine river has spirits, and after sacrificing living people, the mine river also gives feedback to other people.
It's a bit like the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the river god, praying for a good fish harvest and no floods in the coming year.
Of course, this is just a rumor that has been circulated. It is not known whether the mine river is showing spirits or whether it is true or false, but it is true that many people have obtained high-quality ores in the river during this period.
Therefore, there are still many people who choose to seek wealth through risk.
"You don't want your life!" someone tried to dissuade him, but after the dark-skinned middle-aged man made his decision, he refused to listen and insisted on getting out of the river.
"That rumor is true! I saw with my own eyes that someone caught the best purple gold ore and sold it for a lot of money!" As soon as the middle-aged man said this, several people present felt a little desire.
Do you want to give it a try?
Just once, if you really catch the treasure, you will never go back again!
This inner voice made people want to move. Several miners opened their mouths, not knowing whether they wanted to say more words to dissuade, or whether they wanted to go together.
At this moment, the sound of heavy horse hooves suddenly came from the distance, one after another, and came with a rumble.
The ground also trembled, and even the boats tied to the shore were shaking.
These miners couldn't help but look back and saw a majestic group of soldiers wearing heavy armor approaching.
The ferocious power that hit their faces made them feel frightened when they felt it up close. Their faces turned pale and their eyes were filled with fear.
There were so many soldiers that they were really afraid of being trampled to death by these iron hoofs.
Instinctively, he wanted to run away, but his legs were frozen in place, unable to move at all.
Fortunately, this group of soldiers had no real intention to hurt anyone, and they stopped the momentum of the high-headed war horses in time when they approached the shore.
"Yes, it's the government's army!" A miner came over slowly and stuttered.
"They are not ordinary officers and soldiers, these are the Cui Banner Army! The main battle legion under the king's command!" There are also more knowledgeable miningmen who can tell that this group of army soldiers who have come from afar are completely different from their officers and soldiers in Leicheng. No connection.
"Cui Banner Army, that's great! The mine river is finally saved!" Many miners were overjoyed when they heard the name of Cui Banner Army, as if they had seen a real savior.
Compared with the city defense troops stationed in big cities and the government troops, the Cui Banner Army is obviously more trusted by the people.
This is not only the strength of the Cui Banner Army, but also the prestige that the army has developed day after day. Just the name is enough to make people feel at ease.
The original idea of going to the river also changed due to the arrival of the Cui Banner Army.
No matter what, no one is willing to risk their lives unless they have to.
"This is it." A man in official uniform said, pointing to the endless river in front of him.
He is a lieutenant in Leicheng, and this time he personally led the Cui Banner Army.
Beside him, an imposing general was staring at the river with his brows furrowed. This man was none other than Song Changming's number one general, Xiao Peibai.
To say he is a general is not so accurate now.
Counting from the time when the Zhao family died, more than eight years have passed!
Naturally, the number one general's cultivation strength is not standing still. With the help of the resources in the army, he has already opened up the first Tianwu vein.
With his excellent strength, he was promoted again by Song Changming and became the first small banner leader under his command.
Xiao Peibai raised his hand and said: "Seal the river bank and go for a few laps on it."
The order was given, and the five thousand fully armed soldiers behind them immediately dispersed. Dozens of centurions with innate cultivation strength rose into the air and flew towards the river to explore.
Lieutenant Leicheng on the side looked a little envious.
It can only be said that the Cui Banner Army is worthy of being the Cui Banner Army. With a casual move of the general, the innate-level generals flew out in a group. And this was just one of the Cui Banner Army. What he saw was not even this one. All the powerful innate-level generals in the Cui Banner Army.
Compared with the strength of the Cui Banner Army, the local military strength in the city seemed too mediocre.
A warrior in the Xiantian realm can count them with two hands. The gap is too big.
The lieutenant's heart was moved, and he suddenly asked tentatively: "General, I heard the city lord said that this time was led by the commander of the Cui Banner Army, I don't know"
Xiao Peibai glanced at him and said calmly with a straight face: "The commander-in-chief encounters something on the road. I will come back after handling it."
"That's good, that's good." The lieutenant didn't dare to ask any more questions.
To him, the Commander-in-Chief of the Cui Banner Army was truly a big shot, and was beyond his reach.
After a while, the group of Xiantian realm generals flew back one after another.
"Flag Master, no evil spirit was found!"
The reports from all the generals were exactly the same, they all failed to detect the evil spirit in the river.
In this case, it is either that there are no monsters in the river causing trouble at all, or that the population is missing due to other reasons.
Either the monsters in the river are extremely powerful, or they are very good at hiding, avoiding the detection and detection of all generals.
"Watch the shore and wait for the commander to come." Xiao Peibai chose to be safe and did not continue to advance.
I decided to wait for my commander to decide the next step!
