However, both He Hanqing and Venerable Lord Saber were still full of doubts.
The Concourse of the Underworld and the Four Seasons Tower had never had anything to do with each other. The martial world pact had long established that the higher-ups of the Four Seasons Tower were all listed in the exemption list of the Concourse of the Underworld.
The so-called martial world pact could, of course, be a piece of paper and could not be counted. However, the prerequisite for it not to be counted was that the party who broke the pact was strong enough to bear the consequences of breaking the pact. Unless it was not completely considered, it was better to abide by the pact. It was better not to break it if possible!
After all, it was never a good or trivial matter to always be on guard against the other party's counterattack, plot, ambush, and revenge. This was especially so when the people of the Concourse of the Underworld knew that although they were strong and powerful, they inevitably paled in comparison to the Four Seasons Tower.
In that case, why would there suddenly be such an operation today?
It was impossible to cover up this move. Even if He Hanqing and Venerable Lord Saber were to be silenced, it would be useless. The traces of the Concourse of the Underworld's actions were too obvious. The Four Seasons Tower would definitely find out after this. With the Four Seasons Tower's temperament, both parties would fight to the death. The Concourse of the Underworld, who was at a disadvantage in terms of strength, could only be defeated!
Emperor Song had said that Venerable Lord Saber was unwise, but in the eyes of Venerable Lord Saber and He Hanqing, the Concourse of the Underworld was the unwise one!
No matter how confused He Hanqing and Venerable Lord Saber were, the battle would not stop just because of their doubts. In the blink of an eye, a few more screams were heard. The last few subordinates of Venerable Lord Saber had also died tragically in the hands of the other Yama Kings from the Concourse of the Underworld.
On the side of the Four Seasons Tower, other than Venerable Lord Saber and He Hanqing, there were only a few survivors. The situation was irreversible and almost a foregone conclusion!
In this battle, the elites of the Hall of Spring had been slaughtered!
The King of Equality appeared in the air with a face full of pity, murmuring, "Sin, sin …"
He mumbled, "This life has been evil, I have come to expiate. There is no enmity between life and death. This life is over, but there is still the next. Go now, the gates of hell will open …"
Venerable Lord Saber took a deep breath. "Emperor Song, the Four Seasons Tower will never let this matter go. The Concourse of the Underworld will regret this. You have money, but you have to live to enjoy it!"
He turned around and shouted, "Let's go!"
"If Venerable Lord Saber wishes to leave, we will not stop you." Emperor Song's expression was indifferent, "However, His Excellency Supreme Lord Spring Frost needs to stay."
He said calmly, "You don't need to leave too much. Just a head is enough."
He Hanqing chuckled, a ruthless glint flashed across his eyes as he said, "The Concourse of the Underworld has only sent seven Kings and two envoys here today. At most, there are a few Gold-ranked assassins … I and Venerable Lord Saber admit that we are no match for such a combat power … However, if you think that you can keep me here with just this, it will be your wishful thinking."
Emperor Song placed his hands behind his back and said indifferently, "Whether we can do it or not, we will only know after we try. What do you think, Supreme Lord He? "
With a flash of saber light, Venerable Lord Saber moved swiftly to He Hanqing's side and said coldly, "Even if this reputed one has always been at odds with He Hanqing, I will not sit back and do nothing as a colleague of the Four Seasons Tower at this juncture of life and death!"
He said coldly, "Emperor Song, I believe you can see that although we are at a disadvantage today, it is only He Hanqing alone. If you want to kill him, you will have to pay with the life of one of the ten of you brothers! If this reputed one were to join in … hehe … "
Venerable Lord Saber sneered and said, "Even if you can kill He Hanqing in the end, at least three of the ten Yama Kings of the Concourse of the Underworld will be reduced! I can also guarantee that I will be able to retreat unscathed. After all, I am not like He Hanqing, who is severely injured! "
"Such a clear situation, can't you, Emperor Song, see through it?"
"It's fine if you kill an ordinary expert of the Four Seasons Tower, but if you kill one of the four Supreme Lords, you have to think about the consequences!"
Emperor Song stood in the air with his hands behind his back. His gaze was resolute and he did not speak.
Of course, he knew that what Venerable Lord Saber said was the truth.
Everyone had already reached this level, and no one could lie to anyone else. Between each other, there was no one who could brag to each other.
The situation was as such, simple and clear as day.
There was no doubt that his side had an overwhelming advantage in this battle. There was no doubt about it.
If there was only He Hanqing alone, ten of them working together and paying a certain price was guaranteed to be able to kill him. Now, however, there was an additional Venerable Lord Saber. If they really wanted to kill He Hanqing, they would need at least two to three people's lives to be able to do it.
Yes, it was only possible to do it!
Moreover, Venerable Lord Saber could not be left behind!
They were all experts of the same level. It was not difficult to join forces to intercept and defeat the other party, but to kill the other party without paying the same price, the difficulty would increase by more than ten times. Based on the current combat strength, it was absolutely impossible.
Emperor Song's expression was as calm as ever. While he was still contemplating in his heart, he saw a person from his own camp rushing forward.
"There's nothing more to say. He Hanqing's time has come to an end. He must return to his position today!"
First Court King Qinguang had already made his move.
As he did so, King Pingdeng, King Taishan, and King Chujiang attacked in unison. The four of them had covered the entire sky with the ghastly fog.
Two silhouettes loomed in the ghastly fog, appearing and disappearing unpredictably, waiting for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
They were Ox-Head and Horse-Face, the twin envoys of the Concourse.
He Hanqing was enraged. It was the first time in his life that he had encountered such a muddle.
What price had the person who had bought his life offered? Why would the Concourse of the Underworld be so reckless as to target them at all costs? Even the scheming and cunning Hanqing was baffled. It was hard to imagine!
However, the other party attacked again. He Hanqing had no time to think. With a long howl, he attacked with all his might!
"What price can kill me, He Hanqing?" He Hanqing asked sternly after exchanging a blow with First Court King Qinguang.
While they were speaking, First Court King Qinguang was the first to rush forward, indicating that he was the most desperate. The most desperate person was usually the one who had accepted the payment and agreed to the mission.
Since he could not think of it, he might as well ask.
"You want to know?" First Court King Qinguang chuckled strangely.
He Hanqing's eyes flared with ice and fire at the same time. His secret technique had been activated; the countless forces of souls that he had devoured over the years were all activated. "Are you going to tell me or not?"
First Court King Qinguang chuckled and said, "He Hanqing, your old life isn't cheap at all. One million silver taels. I've only given the other party a twenty percent discount, so it's a deal at eight hundred thousand silver taels."
"Eight hundred thousand silver taels …" He Hanqing was at a critical juncture in his cultivation, and he was besieged by the three kings. When he suddenly heard the price, he was so furious that he felt dizzy.
I, He Hanqing, am only worth eight hundred thousand silver taels?
If you had said three to five taels, that would be an insult to me and I wouldn't be angry. If you said it was tens of millions of silver taels, or millions of gold taels, or even hundreds of thousands of mystical stones and mystical crystals, it would still make sense.
But what about eight hundred thousand silver taels?
Your Concourse of the Underworld has sent out dozens of gold-ranked assassins, ten Yama Courts, and two emissaries at the same time, all for eight hundred thousand silver taels?
Does this mean that your evaluation of me, He Hanqing, for eight hundred thousand silver taels is already more than worth it? A lowly life can be sold for eight hundred thousand silver taels. It's so worth it. Kill him quickly, or else he'll regret it. This is the biggest insult!
A gust of sword energy rushed up from within his body.
Just as he was in a trance, he could no longer suppress Ling Xiaozui's sword energy. He Hanqing spat out three mouthfuls of fresh blood with a cry. A black fog dissipated around him.
All the forces of souls that he had devoured throughout his life had dispersed at this moment.
Eight hundred thousand silver taels …
He Hanqing had been defeated in an instant.
"He Hanqing, do you think you're worth that much?"
First Court King Qinguang guffawed. "Eight hundred thousand silver taels is already a high price for your lowly life!"
He Hanqing was infuriated, spitting out a few more mouthfuls of fresh blood as he tried his best to parry the attacks. However, King Qinguang and the other two kings attacked with all their might, completely suppressing He Hanqing into a disadvantageous position where he could only take a beating without being able to retaliate.
"First Court King Qinguang, you're courting death!" With a flash of saber light, Venerable Lord Saber dashed forward.
A silhouette flashed. King Song stood in front of the saber light in an elegant manner, his sword energy soaring into the sky. "Venerable Lord Saber, we're not done yet."
Venerable Lord Saber was enraged. "King Song, don't you regret this!"
With a flash of saber light, Venerable Lord Saber's body disappeared without a trace in an instant. What appeared in front of everyone was a saber!
The saber in the sky had revealed itself for the first time!
A thick saber that was over 30 meters long lay across the sky, and it shone with a brilliant light. It was like a brilliant sun had suddenly appeared in the sky, and it illuminated the world, causing it to shine with an extraordinary aura.
King Song took a deep breath. "Stop him with all your might! Let the four of them finish off He Hanqing first! "
King Yanluo and King Zhuan Lun responded to his call and moved forward. King Song waved his long sword, becoming one with it as he faced Venerable Lord Saber head-on.
In terms of cultivation base, King Song and Venerable Lord Saber were roughly on par. It would be difficult to determine the winner or loser in a one-on-one fight within a short period of time, at least they would not be at a disadvantage. However, being evenly matched was one thing; being able to kill the other was another. As for completely restraining the other's movements, it was not the same thing; it was impossible to do so!
Even if King Yanluo and King Zhuan Lun were to unite, the situation was still not optimistic to fully restrain Venerable Lord Saber.
The current situation was clear. Once Venerable Lord Saber could not be stopped and was allowed to rush over, allowing him to join forces with He Hanqing, then the operation of the Concourse of the Underworld tonight would be a complete failure.
The Concourse of the Underworld had practiced for a few times in advance for this operation. It could be said that they were determined to succeed in this operation. He Hanqing would definitely die, there was no chance of survival.
However, it had never occurred to them that Tiantang City had an additional Venerable Lord Saber whose cultivation base was higher than He Hanqing's!
This change was too unexpected, causing a fatal flaw to appear in the Concourse of the Underworld's perfect ambush.
For so many years, Venerable Lord Saber had never appeared here. According to the Concourse of the Underworld's information, there had always been animosity between the five Venerable Lords and the four Supreme Lords. Although they minded their own business, they were not on good terms with each other. However, these two people had suddenly joined forces to fight. This change was unimaginable, far beyond their expectations. However, this change had happened right when they were on the move.
The ten Yama Kings of the Underworld felt like they had just been f * cked.
