Shi Yintian was taken aback, but he quickly led the way. When they arrived at the edge of the training ground, the surrounding soldiers quickly made way for them when they saw the young general. Yue Qianchou silently stood beside Shi Yintian and looked at the simple wooden platform. It would have been fine if he didn't look, but once he did, he immediately gasped in shock.
A bare-chested man was tied up with his hands behind his back, and an executioner was standing beside him, ready to execute him. The man was tall and muscular, and even though he was tied up, one could still feel the murderous aura emanating from his body. His eyes were filled with killing intent, and it was obvious that he was someone who had been through a lot of killing. What shocked Yue Qianchou was not these, but the fact that this man's upper body was bare. Apart from his face, there was not a single patch of unscathed skin on his upper body. There were all kinds of mottled scars of various shapes and sizes, obviously left behind by the baptism of various weapons. On his chest and arms, there were also a few fresh wounds that had yet to dry.
Damn it! This guy really crawled out from a pile of corpses, he probably used his scars as tattoos. Yue Qianchou shook his head slightly, it was a pity that such a good general was killed just like that, but this was not his business. His gaze swept across Zhang Peng's body a few times, and just as he was about to leave … Suddenly, someone behind him said softly, "Leader, this man has Innate Spiritual Roots."
Innate Spiritual Roots? Yue Qianchou was startled, he didn't need to turn around to know that it was his subordinate who was talking to him, others wouldn't call him Leader. Yue Qianchou immediately focused his gaze on the man, and after a closer look, he was shocked once again, it really was Innate Spiritual Roots.
Anyone who entered the cultivation world must have Spiritual Roots, and people like Yue Qianchou were only exceptions. Spiritual Roots were also divided into different grades, and the so-called Innate Spiritual Roots were the ones with the highest aptitude for cultivation. It was rumored that one could achieve twice the results with half the effort. It seemed that there hadn't been such a person in the cultivation world for a long time, and he didn't expect to meet one. Yue Qianchou immediately turned his head and whispered into Shi Yintian's ear, "Spare him, I have great use for him."
Shi Yintian actually heard the words of the person behind him, and although he didn't understand what it meant, since Yue Qianchou had spoken, his father would definitely give him face, so there was hope for Zhang Peng to live. Thus, he said in a low voice, "This order can only be revoked with my father's order. There is still some time before noon, why don't Mister inform my father?"
"Let's go." Yue Qianchou didn't say anything else. Shi Yintian quickly led him towards the main tent. of
When they arrived at the main tent, the other soldiers stayed outside. After the two of them entered, Yue Qianchou smiled at the figure in the middle who was holding a map and said, "General, how have you been?"
Shi Wenguang turned around, and his face lit up. He took a few steps forward and bowed, "Mister, you're here."
Yue Qianchou smiled and nodded. His main purpose of coming here was to inform Shi Wenguang of the news from the capital, and to let Shi Wenguang know that his family was safe, so that he could focus on his rebellion. The two sat down, and after explaining the situation in the capital, Yue Qianchou smiled and said, "Great General, I have a request!"
Shi Wenguang waved his hand and smiled, "Mister, please don't joke around. With Mister's ability, what request do you have for me? I should be the one asking for a favor."
Yue Qianchou didn't speak any more nonsense. If he continued, the Innate Spiritual Roots outside would be beheaded. He immediately said with a solemn expression, "I'm not joking. Just now, I saw a person who will be executed at noon. I hope that General can be merciful and give this person to me. I have great use for him."
Shi Wenguang looked at his son suspiciously. He suspected that his son was the one who begged Yue Qianchou to save Zhang Peng. Shi Yintian smiled bitterly and waved his hand, "Father, please don't doubt me. It really has nothing to do with me."
"General, please don't think too much." Yue Qianchou paused and said, "Let me explain it to you this way! When I passed by the execution ground, I discovered that Zhang Peng is not an ordinary person. He has excellent spiritual roots, and I wish to take him as my disciple. I hope that General can give me this face. "
"So that's how it is. I will naturally give Mister face." Shi Wenguang stood up and took out a token from the bottle on the table. He handed it to Shi Yintian and said, "Pass down my order, Zhang Peng's execution is to be postponed and brought to my tent."
Shi Yintian's face lit up with joy. He received the token and respectfully said, "This General will obey."
Yue Qianchou laughed and continued to converse with Shi Wenguang. Not long after, the tied up Zhang Peng was brought in by Shi Yintian. Shi Wenguang sat behind the table and stared at the newcomer with a gloomy expression.
"Criminal General Zhang Peng greets General." Zhang Peng's voice was loud and clear as he knelt down. Yue Qianchou who was sitting not far from him could feel the valiant aura coming from his body.
Shi Wenguang shouted in a deep voice, "Zhang Peng, you have violated the military rules and should be beheaded. However, there is an expert who begged this General to accept you as his disciple. If you agree to be his disciple, this General can consider sparing your life. "
Yue Qianchou smiled as he stared at Zhang Peng, thinking that he would definitely accept this person as his disciple. Who wouldn't want to live? Who would have thought that Zhang Peng would look around, and after his gaze paused on Shi Wenguang, he replied, "I wonder which expert wishes to accept me as his disciple, please enlighten me."
Shi Wenguang raised his finger and pointed. Yue Qianchou stood up and smiled, "It's me."
"Criminal General would rather accept death." Zhang Peng glanced at him and said nothing else. Everyone in the tent was stunned. Yue Qianchou asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with being my disciple? You would rather die than submit? "
Zhang Peng knelt down and sized him up, then snorted coldly, "Judging from your age, you're not even as old as I am, how can you be my Master? If I submit, wouldn't it be a great humiliation to me? How would I dare to submit?"
"Impudent!" Shi Wenguang immediately shouted, "Mister accepting you as his disciple is your fortune, you really don't know what's good for you. Men, drag him away and behead him."
"Wait!" Yue Qianchou smiled and waved his hand, stopping the general from showing off his military might. He circled around Zhang Peng twice and said, "How can I be your Master?"
"I have the strength to lift a thousand catties, and the courage to conquer the three armies. If you can defeat me, I will take you as my Master." Zhang Peng proudly declared.
'Damn it! If it weren't for your Innate Spiritual Root, I wouldn't care if you were dead or alive. You're just a commoner, and you want to fight me? ' Yue Qianchou sneered, "Your strength is like an ant in my eyes. Your bravery is nothing in my eyes. You think too highly of yourself. If I want to defeat you, it'll be as easy as lifting a finger."
Then, a bewitching red light flashed on the tip of his finger, and in the blink of an eye, the ropes that Zhang Peng had tied him up broke. Yue Qianchou shouted, "Get up, show me what you've got. I want to see what you're capable of."
Zhang Peng looked at the neatly broken ropes on his chest and was stunned for a moment. He then shook off the ropes, stood up, and stretched his body. His bones cracked, and he cupped his fists and shouted, "Excuse me, watch my fist!"
'Damn it!' 'He's really not holding back.' Yue Qianchou circulated his True Yuan and pointed a finger at Zhang Peng's fist. The fist and finger collided in the air. Yue Qianchou sneered, while Zhang Peng's face twitched. He felt that the half of his body that had punched out had gone numb, and he couldn't move at all. The winner was decided, and the Shi father and son looked at each other in dismay. 'So powerful!'
Yue Qianchou retracted his finger and said with an expressionless face, "If you're not convinced, you can try again."
Zhang Peng's body took a long time to recover. He stretched his body, but didn't say a word. He walked to the weapons rack at the side of the tent, and took out a long steel spear that was as thick as a baby's arm. He shouted, "Again!"
His strong body pounced at Yue Qianchou, and like a bolt of lightning, the spear went straight for Yue Qianchou's chest. Yue Qianchou laughed coldly, and his index finger glowed with a demonic red light again, and he pointed it at the spear's head.
With a sizzling sound, the spear began to melt from the spearhead all the way to the end of Zhang Peng's hand. The spear fell to the ground like molten iron. Zhang Peng only felt his hand burning, and he hurriedly threw the spear away. However, he didn't give up, and threw another punch at his opponent's face.
"Hmph!" Yue Qianchou snorted coldly, intending to teach him a lesson. He retracted the red light on his finger, and flicked away Zhang Peng's heavy fist. Then, he quickly pointed at Zhang Peng's chest. Zhang Peng immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, and his whole body was sent flying by the finger. He flipped a few times in the air, and fell to the ground. He looked like he was on the verge of death.
The Shi father and son were shocked once again, and they looked at each other speechlessly. Yue Qianchou expressionlessly stared at the person moaning on the ground. He said coldly, "What strength pulling a thousand catties? What bravery? You can't even compare to one of my fingers. How can you say that? Is this all you have? You really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. If you're not convinced, and you still have the strength, you can try again. "
Zhang Peng clutched his chest, and his whole body seemed to collapse. His face was pale, and he staggered to his feet. He staggered to the front of Yue Qianchou, and knelt down. He kowtowed, and said, "Zhang Peng is convinced, and pays his respects to master."
