Berserk God of War

Chapter 312: Chapter 312: Appearance of Bone Beast Blood

For a while, Ning Old Grand Dowager finally spoke in a hoarse voice, ”Vice Palace Master of the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace, Qin Heng!”

Sikong Jing’s mouth twisted into a cold sneer, ”Ning Old Grand Dowager really is well-informed. Now that I am standing right here, come and kill me if you dare!”

His tone was casual and dismissive, showing contempt for everyone present.

Ning Old Grand Dowager’s breathing quickened again. She futilely threw the token back to Sikong Jing, clenched her fist tightly, and said to Ning Shouye in a low voice, ”Let them... go!”

With the token of Vice Palace Master of the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace in her possession, her Ning Family couldn’t afford to kill, didn’t dare to kill.

Sikong Jing caught the token and swept a glance over everyone from the Qian Family, ”Qian Jingsui died because of me. I am the Thunder Wing Dragon Snake Knight who killed in the Qianbei Building. If you have the guts, come to the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace and kill me.”

Having said that, Sikong Jing turned, mounted his horse, and looked at Ning Jingjing, ”General Ning, let’s go!”

Thud, thud, thud...

The sound of horse hooves grew rapid, and eighty thousand Black-armored Soldiers flowed away like a dark tide, disappearing at the end of the street.

Sikong Jing had come boldly, using the lives of the Qian Family people and the token of the 66th Corps to force the Ning Family to release them, and left with poise under the Ning Family’s dominance, leaving behind the name of the Thunder Wing Dragon Snake Knight.

He was indeed the chief culprit who killed Qian Jingsui, but neither the Ning Family nor the Qian Family dared to touch him.

The name Qin Heng held too much deterrent power.

”Mother, are we really letting them go just like this?”

Ning Shouye clenched his fists tightly; his Ning Family had never been so humiliated, shamed by a bunch of soldiers.

”We can’t afford to provoke the Vice Palace Master of the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace,”

Ning Old Grand Dowager, gritting her teeth, added coldly, ”But some can provoke them. Inform the Long Night Star Palace immediately. The incident in the Qianbei Building has been investigated, and it was the doings of the little devils from the Long Night Black Burning Army. He still holds Qin Heng’s token.”

The Qianbei Building had suffered more than just the death of Qian Jingsui, but also the death of Gu Wei, a student of the Long Night Star Palace.

More importantly, the holder of Qin Heng’s token must be of no ordinary status, and the Long Night Star Palace would surely take it very seriously.

Having said that, Ning Old Grand Dowager quickly went to comfort Qian Yinzhong, who was bleeding from the mouth.

Onlookers still pointed and murmured, while some followed in the direction of the Long Night Black Burning Army, anticipating what might be an even more thrilling action by the experts of the Xingluo Palace to hunt down the man from the Holy Dragon Palace.

It might be even more exciting than the incident in front of the Ning Family’s door.

Meanwhile, the eighty thousand Black Burning Army moved orderly through the streets of the Long Night Imperial City.

Along the way, Elder Wei had explained to Ning Jingjing what had happened in the Black Burning Camp over the past two days. When she heard that the outcome had attracted the Beigong Commander and led to a promotion to the 66th Corps, Ning Jingjing was completely stunned.

Wearing a red dress and riding on a Black Steed, she caught up with Sikong Jing, ”You shouldn’t have said I was the commander. You are the one who did all this, not me.”

Sikong Jing looked up and smiled, asking in return, ”Is General Ning blaming me for overstepping?”

His way of establishing such a great reputation was a blow to the proud Ning Jingjing.

Because she did nothing, she definitely did not want unearned gains.

Sure enough, Ning Jingjing paused and then unexpectedly shook her head, ”I am not blaming you. I just feel uneasy about getting the 66th Corps position for nothing, and I don’t like depending on others.”

She disliked relying on the Ning Family, and even more so depending on anyone else.

This was a habit Ning Jingjing had developed since she was young, and the undeserved position of 66th General made her uncomfortable.

Sikong Jing looked at her intently, ”I’m sorry, but you have no choice but to take it now.”

”If you don’t take it, the Ning Family will force you out of the Long Night Black Burning Army.”

”If you don’t take it, the brothers will also feel bad, and of course, you have done your share of the work. Without your way of managing the army, how could I have easily commanded the 99th Army?”

Sikong Jing was not that good at comforting others; he preferred to speak his mind as if on the battlefield.

”But...”

Ning Jingjing felt even more distressed, thinking that if even Pan Zha could betray them, what good were her military management skills?

However, before Ning Jingjing could finish her sentence, Sikong Jing said, ”There’s nothing to ’but’ about. We are all warriors of the battlefield, not some delicate ladies or dainty young masters. Why should you care about it so much?”

Ning Jingjing was struck with a realization. Wasn’t she a lady of a major family?

”The children of the battlefield are straightforward and bold, taking what needs to be taken and killing what needs to be killed.”

”Moreover, the 66th Corps is not so easy to conquer. If I’m not mistaken, the former 66th Corps General must absolutely detest you, and there are many others in the other corps who are disobedient.”

”These troubles have all been brought upon General Ning by me; it’s up to you to settle them. Standing firm is more difficult than conquering the world.”

Sikong Jing spoke deliberately, his eyes glittering with intensity.

This was the trial given to oneself by the Beigong Xianfeng.

But he would not take action again without Ning Jingjing’s agreement, and he believed that Ning Jingjing would certainly be able to settle things.

Her pride wouldn’t allow herself to accept help again, and Sikong Jing should not interfere rashly either.

It was not out of a lack of boldness and straightforwardness, but Ning Jingjing also needed to hone herself and not be dependent on others.

Ning Jingjing’s expression changed unpredictably. Finally, she sighed deeply and stopped dwelling on the matter, nodding firmly, ”I accept your sentiment. Once we return to the 99th Castle, I shall treat you to a drink.”

”Excellent, straightforward!” Sikong Jing laughed heartily, not saying anything further.

The next moment, Sikong Jing suddenly reined in his warhorse.

His eyes fell on a building adorned with jewelries, and the three big characters on it were none other than: Wanbao Pavilion!

This was the Wanbao Pavilion that had produced the White Moon Fan.

But Sikong Jing did not intend to shop; instead, he was looking at a few words written on the Light Crystal Plate outside the Wanbao Pavilion.

They read: Bone Beast Blood.

And following that was: In three days, Wanbao Pavilion auction!

At that moment, Ning Jingjing also rode up and looked at the words on the Light Crystal Plate of Wanbao Pavilion, gently saying, ”Wanbao Pavilion requires a membership, or a verification of one’s wealth in Light Crystals to participate in the auction.”

”However, I can take you inside.”

She had long been aware that among the two medications Yao Changgeng had written to treat Su Yuexi, one of them was the Bone Beast Blood.

”General Ning, could you lend me a hundred thousand Ming King Crystals?” Sikong Jing suddenly asked.

Instantly, Ning Jingjing’s expression became blank, and she smiled wryly, ”Sikong Jing, you don’t seem to have much of an idea about Ming King Crystals. Let me put it this way: even a business family like the Qian Family might not be able to gather one hundred thousand Ming King Crystals in three days.”

Sikong Jing was taken aback and then began to smile bitterly.

But the Bone Beast Blood was right before his eyes, and he was very unwilling to let it go.

Seeing this, Ning Jingjing sighed softly, ”Come and see in three days. Maybe it won’t cost that many Ming King Crystals, or maybe there will be other opportunities, such as if the person who wins the auction is someone I know.”

Sikong Jing could only nod, and then he continued to lead the Long Night Black Burning Army away.

However, just as they had left the Long Night Imperial City, Sikong Jing suddenly gestured for the eighty-thousand-strong army to halt. At the same time, numerous figures appeared ”whoosh whoosh whoosh,” each of them covered in starlight.

At the same time, onlookers who had been following the Long Night Black Burning Army also rapidly appeared.

Of course, there were people from the Qian Family and the Ning Family as well!

Ning Shouye was one among them, and he chuckled quietly, ”The masters from the Long Night Star Palace have indeed arrived. Now, let’s see if that kid will die, and if Ning Jingjing dares to be arrogant anymore?”
