The crowd thought it over, and the more they did, the more terrified and shocked they beca. It was truly horrifying.
"Cough, cough."
At that mont, Mr. Liu suddenly bent over, coughing violently.
With each cough, he spat out more blood, thick and vibrant.
Black Sword King and others wanted to support him, but Mr. Liu firmly waved his hand, refusing their help.
Xiao Zheng stood there, watching the scene, silent.
Without Xiao Zheng’s command, Long Qie and the others did not take action either.
After the coughing subsided, Mr. Liu stood up once more, looking earnestly at Xiao Zheng.
"This ti, I lost. However, this battle between you and was instigated solely by , and my brothers below bear no relation to it. Xiao Zheng, considering that we once had a cordial relationship, spare them, please. I am willing to take my own life!"
"Mr. Liu, you must not!"
Black Sword King and the others cried out in shock, "Even if we die, we will not leave you! We still have so many people here, and we can definitely fight our way out with Mr. Liu. After we recover, we can make a coback!"
Black Sword King and others all had a resolute look in their eyes, showing genuine support for Mr. Liu. At this point, they were determined to even sacrifice themselves if needed, to break out with Mr. Liu!
"Shut up!"
Mr. Liu chastised them sharply, "Is it because I am wounded now that you no longer listen to ?"
Black Sword King and the others were severely startled, falling on their knees, "We absolutely have no such thoughts."
"Then don’t talk!" Mr. Liu said coldly, "Leave everything to ."
Having said that, Mr. Liu then turned his head toward Xiao Zheng, "This is my final request. Please agree to it!"
Long Qie and the others were visibly moved when they saw Mr. Liu’s determination.
And Xiao Zheng remained silent.
His thoughts were sowhat complex.
He never expected, the fierce and cunning Mr. Liu, would, in the end, be willing to sacrifice his own life for his brothers.
He slowly nodded.
"I agree to your terms."
Mr. Liu laughed heartily, "Xiao Zheng, from this mont on, all grievances between us are settled."
Having said that, he turned to Black Sword King and the others, "After I die, you must not harbor resentnt, nor plan any vengeance, understand?"
Black Sword King and the others cried out in sorrow, "Mr. Liu, no!"
Mr. Liu, now severely injured, could have been easily restrained by them and then they could’ve broken through with him. But they were absolutely loyal and revered him like a deity, not daring to disrespect him one bit, so at that mont, they all fell to the ground, hoarsely pleading.
However, Mr. Liu was unmoved, instead he repeated sternly.
"Do you all understand?"
His voice was loud enough to strain his injuries, causing his body to sway again.
Black Sword King and the others were greatly alard and finally, having no other choice, could only reply softly:
"We understand."
"Haha, Xiao Zheng, I can assure you, they won’t cause you any trouble." Mr. Liu laughed despairingly into the sky.
Then he picked up a broken sword from the ground, placed it against his neck, and with cold eyes swept over his brothers and his adversary Xiao Zheng, as well as the mbers of Sky Net.
"Xiao Zheng, I, Mr. Liu, have road freely for many years, never submitting to anyone. You are the first, and will be the last. But rember, Mr. Liu does not die by your hand, but is defeated by my own shortsightedness."
After speaking, Mr. Liu looked again at his brothers, his eyes filled with reluctance.
"Mr. Liu!!!"
Black Sword King and the others, eyes moist, scread loudly.
But no one could stop Mr. Liu’s resolute belief. He looked up at the sky, tears in his eyes, and let out a long cry: "Errrgh!!!"
Suddenly, with a flash of the sword, Mr. Liu made his final utterance, "Brothers, we will et again in the next life!"
Having said that, whoosh!
A spray of hot blood splattered all over the faces of the Black Sword King and others.
A generation of heroes ultimately perished by his own sword, how tragically needless.
"Mr. Liu!!!"
The Black Sword King roared wildly.
His body froze in that instant, like a statue encapsulated with vigor and tragic grandeur.
The Black Sword King and others wailed loudly.
Even the Onmyoji shed a few tears.
Long Qie and others were all deeply moved.
The manner of Mr. Liu’s death truly rited the title "heroic overlord"!
Reviewing his entire life, although he often lost to Xiao Zheng, he could still be considered an outstanding figure! Even in defeat, his brilliance wasn’t diminished, especially since his opponent was the Evil God!
"Indeed, to be able to be Mr. Xiao’s adversary, Mr. Liu definitely had so extraordinary aspects," Long Qie sighed to himself.
Xiao Zheng, looking at Mr. Liu’s body, also remained silent, his heart filled with myriad emotions.
If Mr. Liu hadn’t harbored such great ambition initially, perhaps they could have still been friends.
Afterward, Xiao Zheng looked toward the Black Sword King and others and said indifferently, "You all heard Mr. Liu’s last words, now lay down your weapons, and you can all survive."
The Black Sword King, Grey Wolf King, and others exchanged glances, their eyes struggling.
What they wanted most now was to fight against Sky Net, to die gloriously in battle rather than live in disgrace.
But, if they did that, they would be defying Mr. Liu’s dying wish!
Eventually, the Black Sword King sighed deeply, dropped his sword.
The Grey Wolf King also dropped his weapon.
Seeing that their leaders had done this, although the others were reluctant, they knew Mr. Liu’s dying wish was most important, so they too discarded their weapons and surrendered, though most of them did so with reluctance in their eyes.
"Take them all under your control," Xiao Zheng instructed Long Qie and the others.
"Yes."
Long Qie and his companions imdiately took control of the Black Sword King and his n.
Although they had surrendered, for the sake of preventing any accidents, they still had to do this.
Afterwards, Xiao Zheng solemnly instructed Long Qie to give Mr. Liu a proper burial.
During this process, Titan and others also hurried over, seeing the battle had already ended, they were full of regrets.
Titan said dejectedly, "I thought there was going to be a great battle."
Long Qie patted his shoulder and laughed, "You also made a great contribution. If you hadn’t destroyed their armory, our battle certainly wouldn’t have been this smooth."
Then, Long Qie recounted the events that had just occurred.
Hearing that Mr. Liu had killed himself for his n, Titan was imnsely respectful, "Truly befitting Mr. Xiao’s enemy, that deanor alone is deeply admirable."
"Yes."
Long Qie nodded in agreent.
anwhile, Xiao Zheng walked over to them, his voice cold as he said, "Settle them down first, then kill them all!"
"What?"
Upon hearing this, both Long Qie and Titan were stunned.
Kill them all?
Xiao Zheng had just promised Mr. Liu to spare them!
They were all puzzled, wanting to ask questions. But just as they were about to speak, they saw Xiao Zheng walking toward the docks, his silhouette looking sowhat desolate.
