1122 Great Destroyer Heavenly Bow, Just Kill, There’s No Need to Talk (2)
Zhang San was once the number one scout in the world. Back then, when rebuilding Great Wei, he had been severely injured when facing an enemy, and his Martial Dao foundation had been destroyed.
Originally, with his status, it wouldn’t have been a problem for him to be a rich noble in the capital of Great Wei and live a stable life.
But he was unwilling.
Zhang San had his own pride. He was unwilling to be a useless person waiting to die in front of his brothers, with whom he had fought.
He left the capital and came here because he could see the Great Wall of the human race.
When he left the capital, he only took the Great Destroyer Heavenly Bow that made him famous. Everything else, gold, silver, jewelry, and all his wealth, he left in the capital.
“Soon, soon.” Zhang San looked at the Great Wall a hundred kilometers away with turbid eyes. “I can’t hold on any longer. Your Highness, if you’ve really died, I can still follow you after I die. But I haven’t been able to find out who harmed you. I’m useless for not being able to avenge you.”
A few tears fell to the ground.
After an unknown period of time, the sadness on Zhang San’s face instantly disappeared. He became incomparably cold, and his hunched body straightened.
“Since you’re here, come out. Why sneak around like a thief?” Zhang San said coldly.
Pa pa pa—
A figure stepped out of the forest tens of meters away and applauded. “As expected of the number one scout in the world back then. Even though you’ve grown old, you can still discover my traces.”
This person arrived more than ten meters away from Zhang San. He seemed apprehensive and didn’t continue forward.
He looked at Zhang San and said, “Brother Zhang, we meet again.”
“It’s better not to meet,” Zhang San said coldly.
The man shook his head and smiled bitterly. “Brother Zhang, you should understand why I’m here.
“As long as you agree, I promise that your grandson will no longer need to risk his life at the border. I can guarantee that he will enjoy wealth and glory!
“Brother Zhang, you know what I’m capable of.”
“Of course you can do it,” Zhang San said coldly. “As a member of the grotto-heavens, letting someone enjoy wealth is nothing.
“But I’ve also said it before. The Zhang family will fight for our own wealth and honor. We don’t need to wag our tails and bow to anyone. No matter how many times you come, my answer is the same. Give up.”
“Brother Zhang, why bother doing this?”
The man said sincerely, “With all due respect, your injuries are incurable. How long can you last? If you die, won’t the outcome be the same? Your grandson is only a first-rank martial artist now, right? Can he protect the Great Destroyer Heavenly Bow?
“Moreover, Brother Zhang, in your current situation, you can no longer use the Great Destroyer Heavenly Bow, right?”
“Try me!” Zhang San’s originally turbid eyes flashed and became clear as a fierce aura rose from his body.
The almost tangible killing intent revealed the battles he had experienced.
The expression of the person opposite Zhang San didn’t change much. He only looked at Zhang San. “Brother Zhang, I have no ill intentions. You don’t have to do this. If I wanted to fight, I wouldn’t have come to discuss it with you repeatedly.
“To be honest, Brother Zhang, not to mention that your Martial Dao foundation is already destroyed, even if you still had your cultivation, if our grotto-heavens really want to use force, do you think you can withstand it?”
“Haha.” Zhang San laughed sadly. “Have you never used force? Don’t lead the life of a whore but still want a monument put up to your chastity[1].
“We weren’t afraid of you back then, and we’re not afraid now. If you want to snatch the Great Destroyer Heavenly Bow, then bring it on!”
Zhang San sat upright on the limestone, his back straight, his voice powerful.
The man looked at Zhang San and slowly said, “Brother Zhang, as long as you’re alive, we won’t do anything to you. Otherwise, the King of Men and the others won’t let this matter rest.
“But with all due respect, Brother Zhang, I’m afraid your body won’t be able to last long. How long do you think the King of Men and the others can take care of your grandson? One year, two years? Eight years, ten years?”
The person’s tone sounded very polite, but anyone could understand the threat in his words.
Zhang San stared at the man with a cold expression. “Do you think I’ll submit just because you’re threatening me with Qiyun? Tang, you’re underestimating me too much.
“Back then, when His Highness was still around, your Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven didn’t dare to say a word. Don’t think you can act high and mighty just because His Highness isn’t around…”
A hint of shame and anger flashed across the man’s face. His voice turned cold. “Brother Zhang, I’m being polite. Don’t be ungrateful!”
Zhang San smiled. “Haha, I, Zhang San, am unyielding and strong-willed. I have no need to be grateful to you!
“So what if you’re from the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven? Even if Tang Qianluo is standing here, I’ll still tell him to get lost!
“His Highness handed the Great Destroyer Heavenly Bow to me, so I will definitely not let it down! As long as the bow is in my hands, even if I’m not around, the bow will definitely not fall into the hands of thieves!”
The smile on the man’s face disappeared, and his expression turned extremely cold. “Brother Zhang, I’ve already given you enough face by visiting you three times.
“But since you don’t know what’s good for you, I have nothing else to say.
“Zhang San, let me tell you. A few days ago, the scouts of the border army retrieved the Snow-Drinking Rampant Saber from the Demon Realm. There were thirty scouts in a group, but only two of them returned alive. Your grandson, Zhang Qiyun, stayed in the Demon Realm to cover the retreat and died without a complete corpse.”
Gruu!
A strange red color flashed across Zhang San’s face. He was shocked and furious and couldn’t help spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Zhang San trembled and shouted angrily, “Tang Shiyi!”
“Zhang San, you have no descendants. So what if you guard the Great Destroyer Heavenly Bow?” Tang Shiyi laughed loudly. “Are you going to bring it to your grave?”
Tang Shiyi stopped pretending and said arrogantly, “If you’re alive, the King of Men and the others will still care about your old friendship and protect you. If you die, even the King of Men and the others have no reason to guard the Great Destroyer Heavenly Bow. In the end, the Great Destroyer Heavenly Bow will still fall into the hands of our Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven! Do you believe me?”
Gruu!
Zhang San was already seriously injured. Being agitated made his old injuries relapse.
His body swayed as he stared at Tang Shiyi.
He really wanted to say that he didn’t believe him!
But he knew that with the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven’s shamelessness, they would definitely dare to do it!
Back then, they had been forced to become cannon fodder. It was all thanks to the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven!
If not for their good luck and some strength, Great Wei wouldn’t exist today. They would have long been plotted to death by the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven!
Although Yang Hong had coincidentally become the King of Men, his actions were still restrained by the grotto-heavens.
Zhang San gritted his teeth. “Even if I destroy the Great Destroyer Heavenly Bow, I will definitely not allow it to fall into the hands of the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven!”
Although he had no evidence, he suspected that Zhou Shu’s disappearance was very likely related to the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven!
Back then, one of Zhou Shu’s enemies had been the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven. And after Zhou Shu disappeared, the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven had tried to kill them all!
“Zhang San, a connate divine weapon is strategically important to the human race. If you dare to destroy a connate divine weapon, you will be a sinner of the human race and will have a bad reputation for ten thousand years!” Tang Shiyi sneered.
“So what?” Zhang San spat out the blood in his mouth and swayed again. He said coldly, “Do you think I, Zhang San, care about mere infamy?
“I only hate that my cultivation isn’t here. Otherwise, even if I die, I will bring you along!”
Tang Shiyi laughed loudly. “Haha, even if you still had your cultivation, you’re no match for me.
“If not for the King of Men and the others, I could kill someone like you with a single breath. You’re useless. Why are you still alive and wasting food? Why don’t you hurry up and die?”
“You’re right. A useless person like you is a waste of food.” Suddenly, an extremely cold voice sounded. “Zhang San, since you want him to die, just kill him. Why waste your breath?”
Before the voice finished speaking, Zhang San felt a surge of strength appear out of thin air in his body. A long-awaited feeling surged into his heart. He raised his arm, and the Great Destroyer Heavenly Bow appeared in his right hand. It shone brightly as his left hand rested on the bowstring.
