Compensation
Anyone who wasn't from the Yellow Emperor's era would not be able to understand just how bitter Ye Zichen felt when he said that.
Take his life.
The man in front of him was someone who had fought for the Yellow Emperor's life. During the battle between the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou, Houqing's sacrifice had an indelible effect on the Yellow Emperor's future victory.
He was a hero, a martyr …
Yet, Ye Zichen was standing against him and saying that he would take his life with a trembling voice.
Houqing smiled. The sudden appearance of this person might have given him some pressure, but saying that he would take his life was far too comical.
Who was he?
He was one of the four Zombie Progenitors, someone who lived as long as the heavens and earth. Yet, this kid actually said that he would take his life?
Houqing shook his head, then looked coldly at the cut up corpses of the fox spirits. Their deaths didn't affect him at all.
"You said that you would take this king's life?"
Houqing's expression expressed his disdain. Ye Zichen looked at him silently, and the memories in his mind uncontrollably appeared in front of his eyes …
However, he quickly discarded them. He couldn't afford to reminisce about the past in a situation like this.
Even if he was Houqing, the general he was most proud of during the Yellow Emperor's era, he still had to step over him!
"Yes," Ye Zichen replied with certainty.
Ye Zichen replied confidently, then changed the direction of his sword. Through the blade, it was possible to see just how cold his expression was.
The blade shone with a bone-piercing cold light, and the infusion of spiritual energy caused Xuan-Yuan Sword to hum.
The skinny Houqing raised his eyebrows and shrugged, "I nearly forgot the most important question.
"I almost forgot the most important question. How did you know I was Houqing? There shouldn't be anyone in this generation that knows this king's name. "
Houqing shuddered.
The arm that held the sword trembled slightly. After hesitating for a long time …
"I … am the Yellow Emperor!"
"The Yellow Emperor?"
Ye Zichen had thought that Houqing's emotions would fluctuate greatly after revealing his identity. To his surprise, Houqing merely raised his eyebrows and repeated the words "the Yellow Emperor" in confusion as if he didn't know him.
Not long after, a playful smile appeared on Houqing's face. He clapped his hands and nodded.
"So it's you. However, This King has to thank you. If it weren't for you leaving his corpse in the wilderness, This King wouldn't have been able to find such a good vessel to let This King live in!"
"You're not Houqing," Ye Zichen shuddered.
"This King is obviously not Houqing. This King is just occupying the body of that pitiful fellow that you abandoned. However, This King has always been reasonable. When This King occupied this body, this little fellow also gave his approval. "
Houqing smiled faintly. Then, his expression changed and he smiled playfully.
"Do you know, it was this little guy who begged This King to occupy his body. At that time, he only asked this King to fulfill his wish, which was to kill you. "
As soon as he finished speaking, Houqing's body began to tremble slightly.
It didn't take long before Houqing spoke again.
"That little fellow is very excited to hear that you're here. Why don't I let you two meet?"
Whoosh.
A faint light flashed between Houqing's brows. After pausing for a few seconds, his tightly shut eyes suddenly opened.
The first thing that entered Ye Zichen's vision was his bloodshot eyes. Ye Zichen could tell just how much resentment he had.
"Yellow Emperor."
"It's me. Long time no see."
Ye Zichen was certain that the person in front of him was the real Houqing controlling his body when he sensed Houqing's resentment.
He knew very well what Houqing resented him for …
"Long time no see?" Houqing suddenly frowned, then snorted. "It really has been a long time. You've been living quite comfortably all these years. You've enjoyed the love of the people. Mhmm … You've also broken through to the Immortal King level. Not bad, huh? As your general back then, this subordinate is very happy for you. "
"Houqing, why do you have to say that? Your existence had an irreplaceable effect on the battle against Chiyou. I remember all of that," Ye Zichen said sadly.
"Then shouldn't this subordinate thank you, Your Majesty? You actually still remember this subordinate after so long. Should this subordinate bow to Your Majesty as a subject?" Houqing's eyes were filled with playfulness. Then, his gaze turned sharp as he roared angrily. "Yellow Emperor, stop pretending with me. I've fought countless battles for you, but what did you do to me in the end? You didn't even collect my corpse! How laughable. What's the point of saying such meaningless things to me? All I know is that my corpse was eaten clean by the wolves. "
As soon as he finished speaking, Houqing suddenly tore off the long robe that covered his entire body.
Ye Zichen's pupils contracted when he saw what was inside.
"Do you see that? Do you see it clearly? It was the wild wolf that gnawed away the flesh on my body, leaving me with only this skeleton. Now you're saying those righteous words to me. Do you think they're going to work on me? "
"It was my fault for not collecting your corpse. I don't want to mention the details. No matter what, you'll definitely think that I'm just making excuses, "Ye Zichen took a deep breath.
Ye Zichen took a deep breath. There was no point in saying anything more when the other party was so agitated.
What's more, it was indeed his fault for not collecting Houqing's corpse.
"I can make it up to you."
"Make it up to you?" Houqing smiled disdainfully, then pointed his dry finger at Ye Zichen's nose. "Didn't you just say that you're going to take my life? Now you want to make it up to me? I'm telling you, I don't need you to make it up to me. I just want your life. As long as you die, I'll also disperse my soul. Then, we can take care of each other on the way to the Yellow Springs, right? My Majesty! "
Houqing's expression was close to going mad. Ye Zichen sighed in his heart. He didn't know how to respond.
I've lost way too much money.
However, at that very moment, Houqing, who had been in a frenzy, suddenly stopped. In this state, it was as if a body-freezing technique had been cast on him. Seeing this, Su Liu'er yelled, "Don't worry.
Seeing that, Su Liu 'er called out, "Ye Zichen, kill him now!"
Su Liu 'er, who had fought against him earlier, knew that even if Ye Zichen was an Immortal King, he wouldn't have a hundred percent chance of winning against Houqing.
When experts fought, everything was decided by a hair's breadth.
As long as Ye Zichen could kill Houqing in one strike, then everything would be over.
However, Ye Zichen shook his head. Even if I'm going to attack Houqing, I have to do it openly.
Yet, Houqing, who had stopped moving, suddenly moved again. When he came back to his senses, he slapped Su Liu 'er, then cursed angrily.
"Stupid bitch, you want to screw laozi over?"
"Houqing, stop," Ye Zichen roared. Houqing ignored Su Liu 'er and snorted, "You actually didn't attack me just now. Not bad … My impression of you has improved a bit. Didn't you say that you would make it up to me?"
"Yes!"
