Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1399: Chapter 1398: Ruthlessly Killing

”What the fuck are you talking about!” The man flew into a rage, kicking Han Shao in the face as he cursed loudly: ”Su Yang is already a dead man, how could he possibly have the time to deal with us? Ha, you actually think I’m scared of him? Even if he were standing right here, I wouldn’t show him any courtesy. I alone might not be his match, but with Master Wang and all the other Family Heads here, together, we’ll surely beat Su Yang to the point where even his own mother wouldn’t recognize him. Kneel and beg for mercy? Ha, if anyone’s going to kneel and beg, it will be him!”

Han Shao was hit until his mouth bled, but he still refused to show weakness, shouting loudly, ”Let’s see if you have the guts to say that in front of Master Su when he arrives!”

”I would love to say it to his face, but he’d have to be alive for that!” The man laughed loudly: ”But don’t worry, I’ll definitely go visit his grave later, and I’ll repeat these words over his headstone! I want to see if he’s going to jump out of the ground and trouble me.”

”Hahaha...” The crowd all around instantly burst into laughter, as someone shouted loudly, ”Well said!”

”With the way you’re talking, if Su Yang has any awareness beyond the grave, he’d surely burst out of his coffin in anger!”

”Hey, Old Ding, show some respect for the dead, will you? The man’s already dead, why insult him like that? Later, I’ll help you dig out his body, and you can say it to his face!”

”Hahaha, great idea, great idea...”

The laughter of the crowd was incessant, with Master Wang sitting on the main seat with a cold smirk on his face. In his opinion, everything was already settled. Tonight, Su Yang’s death was certain, and in a few minutes, he would kill all these people to cement his reputation!

Master Wang leisurely sipped his tea as he saw the time was almost up. He stood up and declared loudly, ”Half an hour is almost over, and it seems that Master Su of Pingnan Province is not coming tonight. Since that’s the case, I have to keep my word. Tonight, the Han Family, the Shi Family, and the Tang Family here must be annihilated, not a single one spared!”

Upon hearing this, the crowd below immediately became noisy, and Patriarch Shi shouted angrily, ”Wang, don’t go too far. If you want to kill, just kill us. The things done outside were all by us adults, what do the children have to do with it? Why capture all those breastfeeding babies of our families, what do you really mean by that?”

”Misfortune should not extend to one’s family members!” Patriarch Tang also angrily said, ”Moreover, they are just children. Master Wang, can’t you accumulate some virtue?”

”Accumulate virtue?” Master Wang scoffed, ”You all helped the criminal Su Yang to kill so many people in the Capital City, did you accumulate virtue? Su Yang has killed so many, did he accumulate virtue? He did so many things in the Capital City, causing the deaths of so many, did he accumulate virtue? Now you’re talking to me about accumulating virtue, what right do you have to say that to me!”

”Although Master Su has killed many, at least he didn’t kill children and defenseless old people!” Patriarch Han said solemnly.

”Heh, that isn’t kindness, that’s stupidity!” Master Wang said coldly: ”To eradicate the roots, you must eliminate them thoroughly. Not understanding such basic logic and still wanting to stand in the Capital City? Ridiculous!”

”That’s not stupidity, do you even have any humanity? What wrong have the children done?” Patriarch Han urged desperately.

”They’ve done nothing wrong, but they must bear the consequences of your mistakes!” Master Wang said coldly: ”Enough talk, let’s get on with it. Start with the youngest children. Since you seem to cherish them so much, let’s make you watch with your own eyes the price that must be paid for the mistakes you’ve made!”

With a wave of Master Wang’s hand, people afar immediately grabbed more than a dozen babies from their swaddling clothes.

The eldest of these children was no more than one year old, the youngest, probably only a month or two.

These people showed no pity or mercy towards these infants, just carrying them out by hand. The older children could cry, while the smaller ones were in a daze, completely unaware of what was happening.

”Let him go! Let go of my son!” a woman shouted loudly outside.

”Spare my daughter, I beg you, she’s only five months old...” a man outside pleaded on his knees.

”Please spare him, kill me instead, I’ll... I’ll die for him...” Another older man knelt on the ground, his head bloodied from kowtowing, loudly begging.

Master Wang coldly watched these people, declaiming loudly, ”Don’t you want these kids to survive?”

Desperately, people nodded, and Master Wang sneered, ”That’s impossible; I’ve said they must die, so they must die.”

The faces of those people turned deathly pale, and Master Wang coldly continued, ”I know you are furious. Take a good look at the faces of your own Family Heads. It’s their decision that led to this outcome. It’s not my fault; if anyone’s to blame, it’s them. They are the ones who have killed your children!”

These people turned their gaze to their respective Family Heads; some were disappointed, some despaired, some were filled with rage, some in agony, and others completely lost.

Although Master Wang’s words were bewitching, these people clearly understood that this wasn’t something that could be blamed on their Family Heads. No matter the mistakes of the Family Heads, they shouldn’t have implicated the children. This was entirely the fault of Master Wang and his cohorts!

Seeing that his words didn’t have the desired effect, Master Wang became somewhat irate. He waved his hand harshly and said sternly, ”What are you waiting for? The time is up! Kill them!”

At his command, the dozen or so people holding the children threw them up into the air, each drawing a long knife and swinging it toward the falling babies.

Those outside were asphyxiated, watching their children slowly descend from the sky, while the long knives drew ever closer to them, their hearts nearly stopping.

Just then, the air seemed to suddenly freeze. The dozen children in the sky slowly floated in place, not falling. And the long knives did not strike any of them. Everything at the scene was as if paused in time.

Suddenly after, these people witnessed a scene they would never forget for the rest of their lives.

Su Yang descended from the sky, waving his hands to gather all the infants in front of him. Then he flicked a finger lightly on one of the long knives, which immediately shattered into dozens of fragments that pinned the men with knives to the ground.

It was only after those men lay motionless on the ground did the people at the scene come back to their senses. Su Yang had landed on the ground by now, and the dozen children floated gently around him, like a group of balloons.
