Chapter 110: The Death of Zhou Ying

  Although the city of Luo is vast, for a strong warrior like Wu Huang, it doesn't take long to reach any place. Upon hearing the news that Zhi Zhouying had died and was about to be flogged, Luo Cheng instantly flew into a rage and broke through the air, leaving behind three people with pale faces.

  "This person seems to be Luo Cheng, the Blood Emperor."

  "That Zhou Ying seems to be very important to him, it looks like this is going to be another big battle! Blood Emperor Luo Cheng is the strongest person outside of the Wu Zun strongmen, and can even rival them. Now that he's furious, even the Wu Ding clan will have a headache!"

  "Never mind, these things have nothing to do with us, let's just not get involved."

  Outside the City Lord's Manor, Zhou Ying's corpse was hung high up, surrounded by many of the City Lord's Forbidden Guards below, attracting a lot of people to point and whisper.

  "Ah, what a beautiful girl! But why did she have to offend the Wu Ding clan? Isn't that just asking for trouble? Now look at her, even in death she can't rest in peace." An old man sighed, his only response was another sigh.

  "Begin!" At this time, Ta Shu suddenly rushed over. Originally, Wu Ding Wenqiang was going to come in person, but he needed to go and settle the aftermath of Wu Ding Chengfeng's affairs, so he let Ta Shu come instead.

  In front of the crowd were five horses, and after receiving the order, the Imperial Guards immediately lowered Zhou Ying's body and prepared to put it into a pre-prepared rope.

  "You're asking for trouble!"

  Just then, a furious roar came from afar, it was Luo Cheng.

  Whoosh!

  In the blink of an eye, he arrived. Tower Uncle soared into the air, looking at that bloody light and listening to that familiar voice. He immediately let out a loud roar: "Blood Emperor Luo Cheng, you dare to come to my City Master's mansion to seek death!"

  Ta Shu was the top strongman of the Wu Ding clan, while Luo Cheng was a strongman from another side, and they naturally knew each other. However, Ta Shu, although powerful, was only at the late stage of Martial Emperor, and his combat strength was slightly inferior to that of Luo Cheng, so he was somewhat worried. But such a commotion was enough to shock the old ancestor of the Wu Ding clan in the City Lord's Mansion, and he just needed to hold on for a while.

  Luo Cheng arrived, but he didn't look at Ta Shu at all, and instead stared blankly at the white-clad Zhou Ying below. Although she was dead, she died very peacefully, without any worries or regrets. She was freed from the turmoil of the world and accompanied her brother Hua in death, forever and ever...

  "Ah! How foolish I am!" Only now did he realize that Zhou Ying had already known the news of the young master's death. His heart was bleeding, he was blaming and self-reproaching, with too much sorrow.

  "Go to hell!" The five Uding guards holding Zhou Ying immediately turned into five streams of blood, which then entered Luo Cheng's body. Luo Cheng caught Zhou Ying's corpse and looked at her face, still with a relieved expression, and said with some blame: "Why are you so stupid! If killing Udin Chenfeng could avenge the young master, I would have killed him long ago! You're free now, but how can I explain this to the young master?"

  "Ah! Ah! Ah!" Two drops of blood tears dripped from Luo Cheng's deep red and eerie eyes, he could only vent the sorrow, anger and self-blame in his heart with a loud howl.

  Ta Shu did not stop him, after all, he was no match for Luo Cheng. He was stalling for time, waiting for Lao Zu's arrival. The others didn't even dare to utter a word, fearing that the enraged Blood Emperor would turn them into blood water.

  "Blood Emperor, are you looking for death?"

  At last, an elderly ancestor of the Wu Ding clan arrived, and Ta Shu immediately went forward to pay his respects. Afterwards, he retreated to one side, feeling a great deal more at ease in his heart.

  Luo Cheng suddenly got up at this time, looked at Zhou Ying lying in his arms, and said warmly: "I'll take you home!"

  Having said that, he was about to leave when the old ancestor of the Wuding clan felt himself on the verge of exploding with rage. How could he be ignored like this? Even if this person were the Blood Emperor, it wouldn't be acceptable!

  "Come and go as you please? It's not that easy!" He slapped out a palm, striking Luo Cheng.

  In an instant, everyone felt the surroundings cool down. Unbeknownst to them, Luo Cheng had already drawn out his Heaven-Slaying Sword. Over the past year or so, this sword had absorbed countless amounts of fresh blood and had now recovered to the level of a low-grade spiritual artifact. In terms of power, it even surpassed more than half of all low-grade spiritual artifacts.

  Luo Cheng raised his knife and turned around. Everyone who saw his bloodshot eyes felt a chill run down their spine, as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.

  Whoosh!

  One sword cut out, like a dazzling blood-colored light suddenly appeared in the world, instantly merged with that palm strike.

  No collision as intense as imagined, the two powerful attacks calmly returned to nothingness. Seeing this, Wu Ding's old ancestor's face solidified and said, "How is that possible."

  He couldn't believe that Luo Cheng was so formidable, although Luo Cheng had always been strong, he was only able to contend with Wu Zun, and would still lose to him. Now it seemed that his strength didn't stop there, this was truly too shocking.

  "Are you going to fight? If you want to fight, I'll accompany you. Today will be the decisive battle between us; if not, I'll leave! Tomorrow, I will destroy the entire Wu Ding clan!" Luo Cheng's killing intent was retracted, and his expression was calm. The old ancestor of the Wu Ding clan opposite him looked ugly, he really wanted to keep Luo Cheng here, after all, Luo Cheng posed a huge threat to his Wu Ding clan, but now it wasn't the right time yet! Everything had to wait until the other four old ancestors recovered before proceeding.

  Whoosh!

  Luo Cheng left, carrying Zhou Ying's cold corpse out of Luo City. Wu Ding Shi Lao Zu also left, needing to inform the others about this matter. The other people present quickly dispersed as well. Ta Shu gazed in the direction Luo Cheng had departed, his eyes filled with mixed emotions.

  In the city of Luo, the situation is becoming increasingly severe. Almost everyone has learned about the news of Blood Emperor Luo Cheng's battle with an old ancestor of the Wu Ding clan. Some people are excited, while others remain silent...

  Deep within the castle, the old ancestor of the Wudeng clan who had just fought with Luocheng entered a secret place. All the old ancestors of the Wudeng clan were here, and four of them were sitting cross-legged to heal their wounds.

  "What's wrong, Old Six?" one of the elderly men asked.

  "Just now I fought with Blood Emperor Luo Cheng."

  "Blood Emperor, I don't know where this evil creature came from! He actually has a grudge against my Wu Ding clan. However, although he's not bad, he's still no match for you!" Another person said.

  Wu Ding Liu Zu's face looked unwell as he shook his head, saying: "We only exchanged one move, and from that move alone, it seems he may not be weaker than me!"

  "How is this possible!"

  After the shock, there was silence, a long and endless stillness.

  "Ah!"

  At this time, Taiye finally opened his eyes, let out a long sigh and said: "The situation is unfavorable to us! With Dugu Chengtang, Guijian Huang Liu Yidao, and Xuehuang Luo Cheng growing up, my Wuding clan really has no foothold."

  "Great Elder, for now we still have the upper hand. After all, it's not easy for those three to make further progress. Once you've recovered, Great Elder, we can wipe out Cheng Tang Valley, Chen Clan, Niu Clan and Ming Yang Sect in one fell swoop! What use is a genius? What use is an evil prodigy? A dead genius is no longer a genius!"

  "Keep an eye on their every move at all times, we can't afford to make any mistakes now!" Old Master also didn't want to start a war at this time.

  ……

  Luo Cheng left Luocheng with Zhou Ying's body and headed towards Qingshan Town, where Zhou Ying would finally rest.

  Whoosh!

  Luo Cheng did not disturb anyone and brought Zhou Ying's body alone to the small hill outside the backyard of the Xu Mansion.

  Two years have passed and this place is once again filled with lush flowers and grass, full of vitality.

  This is where Gongzi used to come often. Luo Cheng buried Zhou Ying here, which was also a very good choice.

  Luo Cheng did not hold a grand funeral for Zhou Ying, because he knew she didn't like it. So he simply arranged a grave site for her, with the epitaph: "Tomb of Zhou Ying! Written by Luo Cheng."

  "Miss Ying, rest in peace! I will avenge your death with the blood of all the Wu Ding clan members! I hope you and Young Master can still meet again below. Luo Cheng's heart turned cold once more, one by one, the people he wanted to protect left him, he was unwilling, but reality was cruel, his heart gradually turning colder."

  Looking at Zhou Ying's grave for a while, Luo Cheng suddenly burst into loud sobs, and as he cried, he kept choking back sobs.

  "Gongzi, Luo Cheng owes you an apology. Luo Cheng failed to protect Miss Ying well, it's all because of Luo Cheng's incompetence!"

  Suddenly, Luo Cheng took out several jars of wine and started drinking heavily.

  Wine is a good thing, it can make one drunk and forget all worries! Luo Cheng really wishes he could get drunk right now! His heart is so tired! Really so tired!

  "I thought that in this life, I would meet a noble gentleman and obtain the sacred bloodline, making me the happiest person! " Luo Cheng poured down a tank of wine, spilling it all over the floor. "Only now do I realize that I am actually the most pitiful one! Clearly having the opportunity to reach the pinnacle, yet unable to protect my dearest ones! Without your companionship, even if I reached the pinnacle, what's the point? Who will share in my success? Am I destined to be alone?! Ah! Ah! Ah!"

  "Gentleman, do you still remember when we first met? At that time, I was just a little beggar who was about to starve to death. Just as I was about to die of hunger, you appeared, along with Miss Ying. I will always remember that moment, you took me to the restaurant to eat, it was the first time in my life that I felt warmth, and Miss Ying's smile was so beautiful, everything made people feel so warm."

  "I still remember when I first practiced the martial arts, I was so excited because my life was about to change, and this is also a gift from you, young master."

  "I still remember the first time I helped you block the enemy's attack, Young Master. You were so frantic back then, it was the first time I'd ever seen you like that. At that moment, I thought that even if I died, it would be worth it. In the end, you pulled me back from the clutches of the King of Hell."

  "I still remember the time I received the Blood Saint inheritance, and your heartfelt joy, as well as my own arrogance in looking down on everyone! I wanted to reach the pinnacle with you, and gaze out at life, back then I was so spirited and proud."

  "Do you still remember our last meeting? You, young master, stayed in the earth fire to let me live!"

  "Prince, why are you so foolish! Why are you still so kind? Didn't you promise Luo Cheng that you would never be kind again? Have you forgotten?"

  "Lu Cheng will never learn from you, never! Haha! Haha! Haha!"

  Lu Cheng was like a madman, laughing and crying at the same time, constantly thinking about the roads he had walked with Gongzi. In the end, he really got drunk, his heart was drunk, and he fell asleep in front of Zhou Ying's grave. Even when he was asleep, his mouth still occasionally made murmuring sounds like a dream, "Gongzi, where are you? Come back quickly! Lu Cheng misses you..."
