Special War God

Chapter 137 Teasing Song Honglian

Xia Zhongnan felt helpless. He had originally planned to take advantage of the fierce battle between Lang Zhengfeng and the five governors to launch a surprise attack with the spirit beasts to rescue Lang Zhengfeng. However, Xu Qian's sudden weird laughter completely disrupted his plan. At this moment, they had become the focus of everyone's attention, and it was hopeless to launch a sneak attack.

Seeing this eye-catching team in the air, the most surprised person in the audience was Lang Zhengfeng. He just looked up hastily to prevent the five people surrounding him from suddenly attacking, but he never expected that this glance would make him dumbfounded and unable to look away. If the five governors of the Bai Kingdom were not also attracted by the scene above, Lang Zhengfeng might have been defeated.

He roared in anger in his heart. Life situations are indeed different. Although they both entered the Immortal Palace, Xia Zhongnan obviously got a lot of opportunities and lived a very comfortable life. He could even take Xu Qian on a second-level spirit beast and lead a spirit beast team to travel. After he entered the Immortal Palace, Xu Dejing, who was originally traveling with him, disappeared in an instant; then he encountered Song Honglian, the governor of Yangzhou, Bai State, and another cultivator in the Returning Void Stage. The other party treated him like an enemy who killed his father and attacked him without saying a word. He fought with the two of them many times, and the other party actually had three more helpers in the middle of the battle, which eventually put him in a dilemma of being besieged by five people.

Previously, he denounced Song Honglian as a mad dog, but now it seems that Song Honglian and others have obviously identified him, because he not only killed Song Honglian's father, but also wiped out the other party's entire Manchu clan. How could others let go of such a deep hatred easily?

After Lang Zhengfeng glared at Xia Zhongnan and his group, he lowered his head again to face the five opponents in front of him, as if he did not recognize Xia Zhongnan. He had already seen that those spirit beasts were only at the second level, and Xia Zhongnan and others were only at the Spiritualization Stage, while the enemies he faced were five Void Returning Stage cultivators. The difference in cultivation strength between the two sides was huge. If he forced himself into the battle, he would just give up his life in vain. Therefore, he pretended to have nothing to do with the team in the air, not wanting Xia Zhongnan and others to be involved in this dispute.

Xia Zhongnan noticed the change in Lang Zhengfeng's expression and understood what he was thinking. He couldn't help but feel a little respect for him. At this critical moment of life and death, Lang Zhengfeng not only did not regard him as the only hope for survival and tried his best to drag him into danger, but also tried to prevent them from getting involved, showing his true colors of valuing friendship and loyalty. He was indeed a trustworthy fellow traveler.

However, Xu Qian did not understand Lang Zhengfeng's good intentions. She sat on the back of Qiongqi and said sarcastically, "Senior Lang, why are you so unlucky? Last time, the enemy surrounded and wiped out 300,000 troops, and now you are trapped here again. Where is your usual dignity?"

The five governors of the Bai Kingdom were slightly surprised when they saw the formation of Xia Zhongnan and his group, but they did not interfere too much and wanted to attack Lang Zhengfeng again. Xu Qian's words stopped them, and Song Honglian raised his head and asked, "Miss, may I ask what is your connection with this monster Lang Zhengfeng?"

Xu Qian curled her lips slightly and responded, "Who do you think you are? What does the matter between me and Lang Zhengfeng have to do with you?"

Feeling the provocation from Xu Qian's words, Song Honglian was filled with murderous intent and ignored her. He clenched the pair of Nether Judge's Pens in his hands and rushed straight towards Lang Zhengfeng. He didn't want to waste any more words, and he had made up his mind in his heart that after dealing with Lang Zhengfeng, he would go to Xu Qian to settle the account.

Unexpectedly, Xu Qian did not give in and asked again: "Hey, who is that guy called Song Shihong? He looks a bit like you."

Hearing the name Song Shihong, Song Honglian's mind was shaken, and the energy he had gathered was shaken. Fortunately, the four companions around him worked together to restrain the opponent, otherwise he might have been killed by Lang Zhengfeng when he saw the flaw.

Song Honglian forced himself to steady himself, stepped back a few steps, looked up at Xu Qian and asked, "How did you know about Shi Hong? Is he okay?"

Xu Qian answered the question irrelevantly and asked back: "Why should I tell you? Don't you know the truth?"

Song Honglian suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "Shihong is my own son. I beg you to tell me where he is."

Xu Qian heard this and laughed, "That's more like it. It seems he is indeed the 'son of yours' you mentioned!"

Song Honglian was furious, but Song Shihong was his favorite son. He thought he had died in the governor's mansion in Yangzhou, but now that he heard Xu Qian mention it, he decided to suppress his anger and asked humbly, "Please tell me where Shihong is."

Xu Qian laughed loudly and continued, "Your 'son' tried to invite me to the governor's mansion in Yangzhou, hoping to use the large number of people in the mansion to deal with me. As a result, I ordered people to slaughter all the old, young, and children in the governor's mansion in front of him, and then cut off his dog's head cleanly!"

"what--!"

Song Honglian could no longer bear it, and with a roar, he rushed towards Xu Qian who was floating in the air without hesitation.

At this moment, a black iron spear instantly gathered in Xia Zhongnan's hand. He leaped into the air from Qiongqi's back and faced Song Honglian, who was attacking him headfirst. This duel was his first direct confrontation with a cultivator in the Returning Void Stage after his Yuanshen cultivation had been greatly improved. He had no fear or joy in his heart, but instead poured all his spiritual consciousness into the black iron spear in his hand...

The cultivators around were all watching this sudden team of strange beasts. Now they saw that a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage dared to face a cultivator in the Void Return Stage alone. They could not help but stare at the scene in amazement.

Lang Zhengfeng thought to himself that it was terrible. He knew Xia Zhongnan, who always won with wisdom and strategy. When had he ever seen Xia Zhongnan dare to fight against a cultivator in the Huanxu period alone?

He really didn't understand why Xia Zhongnan was so unwise. If there weren't four Huanxu period cultivators still keeping a close eye on him, he would have stepped forward to rescue him without hesitation.

Song Honglian saw a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage coming towards him, but he did not pay too much attention to him. His eyes were always fixed on Xu Qian, because she was his real target.

As the two were getting closer and closer and were about to collide in mid-air, in an instant, the black iron spear in Xia Zhongnan's hand flew out and shot towards Song Honglian's heart at an incredible speed.

Song Honglian originally did not take the rushing Jindan cultivator seriously. Half of his energy was focused on protecting Xu Qian to prevent Qiongqi from escaping with her, and the other half was on guarding against Xia Zhongnan's attack. He was ready to use the two spiritual pens in his hands to block and kill Xia Zhongnan if the spear stabbed at him.

No one, including Song Honglian, expected that Xia Zhongnan would use the spear as a flying needle at this moment.

Others had not expected this and at most they just shouted in surprise; but for Song Honglian, one wrong step could mean the end of the whole situation.
