"Young and insensible? Hehe, get out of the way. I respect you because you are a Kingdom Knight and have always been righteous, serving the country and the people. Your actions have made me admire you, so I only left her with one arm out of respect. "
Ding Ning gave full play to his Oscar-winning acting skills, exuding a terrible killing intent. He grinned like a villain and said, "Those who offended me before have now been buried in the mass grave. Do you want to leave an arm or the life of your father and your daughter? Choose."
"Sir, are you really not going to bend the rules?"
Qu Wuyou's slightly hunched body slowly straightened up, and his tone had already taken on a tough tone.
Throughout his life, he would rather die than submit. Who would've thought that he would lower his head for the sake of his daughter in his old age? Who would've thought that the other party would be so tyrannical?
"Make an exception? Seeing that you are a Kingdom Scholar, it is not that I cannot accommodate you. How about this, if she is not willing to cut off one of her arms to apologize, then as her father, you can also cut off one of your arms. "
Ding Ning was really afraid that he would force Qu Wuyou to fight with him. This old man had a bad temper. He immediately released a strong momentum and suppressed Qu Wuyou as a warning.
Shock flashed across Qu Wuyou's eyes. At this moment, in his perception, Ding Ning was as unfathomable as a vast ocean, making him feel that he could not resist.
He was not afraid of death, but he did not want his daughter, whom he had found with great difficulty, to die. A hint of determination flashed in his eyes, and he said resolutely, "Okay, I'll cut off one of my arms to apologize to you. I hope you can keep your word. Otherwise, I'll definitely seek justice from you even if I gather the strength of the National Warrior's Mansion."
"I've never been threatened in my life, but at the same time, I've never had the habit of going back on my word. You can rest assured."
Ding Ning said in a light tone.
"No, I'll take care of the trouble I caused. I don't need you to apologize for me."
Ye Qingxuan shouted with tears in his eyes. He took out a short sword and slashed at his own arm.
"Pu!"
Blood splattered everywhere. Qu Wuyou's seemingly withered palm grabbed the sharp blade of the short sword like lightning.
The wound was so deep that the bone could be seen, and his fingers were almost cut off. But his expression did not change at all, as if the hand did not belong to him. He looked at Ye Qingxuan lovingly and said, "Jing 'er, I'm a man, but I didn't fulfill the duties a man should have. I'm sorry to your dead mother, and I'm sorry to you and your sister. I can't make it up to you in this life. If possible, I'm willing to use my life to exchange for your mother and back, but I don't have this chance. Today, father's arm, take it as my apology to your dead mother."
Ding Ning was shocked and moved. Qu Wuyou's figure, which was not very tall, became so tall and straight in his eyes.
His father's love was like a mountain, so heavy that he could not breathe. He felt a lump in his throat and almost cried. He suddenly missed his father. "No … no … I don't want to … sob sob sob … Mother loved you so much.
"No … No … I don't want to … Sob sob sob … Mother loved you so much. Even before she died, she kept muttering your name. She didn't hate you, nor did she blame you. She said that you left us for the sake of all the commoners in the world. What you did was proper, important matters. She told us not to blame you. Sob sob sob … You will always be a hero in her heart. Sob sob sob … Father, my sister and I hate you, but … but we miss you too … Sob sob sob …"
Ye Qingxuan grabbed Qu Wuyou's hand that was still bleeding. He was already crying like a pear blossom in the rain. He was out of breath. The last bit of grudge in his heart finally disappeared. He completely accepted the father he had hated for decades.
Hearing Ye Qingxuan cry out "Father" heartbreakingly, Qu Wuyou trembled all over. He hugged his daughter tightly and sobbed. His face was already covered in tears.
In this life, he had been injured, bled, and sweated. But even when he was disabled and disheartened, he had never shed a tear.
The Thirteen Guardians were all men of steel. They only had their country in their eyes. Crying was a disgrace to them. It was something only cowards would do.
But at this moment, he could not stop his tears from flowing freely. He had waited too long for this call of "Father". Now, he had finally waited.
Men did not cry easily unless they were deeply hurt.
No matter how strong a man was, there would always be softness and fragility in his heart that could not be touched. Such was the tenderness of steel.
Seeing the father and daughter crying in each other's arms, Ding Ning felt a lump in his throat. He did not feel good. But no matter what, he had achieved his goal and it was time to retreat.
Around him, the dense cracks in the space were still raging like a spider's web, making it impossible for people to pass through. But this was not a problem for him, who could find the space node.
Leaving a bottle of healing medicine on the ground, Ding Ning quietly left through the space node.
The outbreak point of this disaster was in the Ulun Valley. The space storm radiated and spread around the valley. Although it was not as exaggerated as tens of thousands of miles as Ren Huang said, the area within a radius of hundreds of miles must have been affected.
Fortunately, this place was located in the Altai Mountains. It was surrounded by mountains, which effectively prevented the further spread of the disaster. Of course, it was certain that the mountains had been affected. It was estimated that it would take more than ten or twenty years for them to recover to their original state.
Except for a desolate town a hundred miles away where hundreds of families lived, there were usually few people, so the disaster situation should not be so serious.
What was more, Ding Ning believed that the Human Emperor, as the guardian of the Human Realm, took the responsibility of protecting the common people. He would not watch the innocent people in that small town be affected by the disaster, and he would definitely find a way to protect them.
As for those warriors who had escaped, Ding Ning could not guarantee their safety. After all, it was not easy to run hundreds of kilometers in such a short time. This made him a little worried. He was afraid that his friends had not escaped in time and died.
But there was nothing he could do. Things happened too suddenly. When he arrived at the valley, many familiar faces had already escaped with the crowd. He couldn't chase after all of his friends and put them into the space.
Of course, he did not know that the area of destruction of the space storm was much smaller than he thought. Except for dozens of warriors who were unfortunately killed, most of them were safe and sound.
Because the man from the Great Snowmountain and Crazy 'Ole were in different directions, they used their own methods to seal the whole space at the same time, controlling the disaster in a limited atmosphere.
But it was not so easy to seal the space, not to mention that the space storm was raging. They all paid a high price. The man from the Great Snowmountain was a little better, but Crazy 'Ole's beard and clothes were dyed red by his own blood.
Renhuang had also arrived a long time ago. Although the area affected by the disaster was much smaller than he had expected, he had not fully recovered from his injuries. Mobilizing the power of heaven and earth to seal off the entire space made his injuries even more serious. He vomited blood from his mouth. If it were not for the support of Renhuang, he might have already died by now.
This worried him. The tribulation of the Three Realms was coming, but his injuries were getting more and more serious. He needed to fall into a long sleep to recover. When the tribulation came, who could stop it?
Therefore, his top priority was to find a powerful spokesperson to turn the tide. Otherwise, once the human world fell, not only would he lose his Human Emperor Fruit, the whole human world would be plunged into misery and suffering.
Very few people knew that his path was the Way of all Living Beings, and the Renhuang Fruit was closely related to the prosperity of the Human Realm. The more prosperous the Human Realm was, the more stable the Law of Heaven and Earth would be, and the more powerful the power he could exert.
With his strength, he naturally noticed the middle-aged man and the crazy old man from the Great Snowmountain. However, the middle-aged man from the Great Snowmountain gave him a feeling that he couldn't see through. As for the crazy old man, although his strength wasn't bad, he couldn't let a crazy person carry the banner of the Human World.
This made him very annoyed. If he had not been trapped in the Kunpeng World for so long by Ming Di, the human world would not have fallen to this state.
As for Ding Ning, the Human Emperor did not really consider him. After all, although he had great potential, he was still too weak.
Moreover, in the Kunpeng World, Ding Ning seemed to be very close to Ming Di and the Fairy of Jiutian. This made the Human Emperor even less willing to consider Ding Ning and directly excluded him.
The office building of the committee, which was also the center of the spatial storm, had long been razed to the ground. Not only was it flat, but there was also a huge crater on the ground.
Near the crater was a spatial collapse area formed by dense spatial cracks. The broken space was as dark as ink, and people did not dare to take a step closer.
Ding Ning was very conflicted at the moment. He could feel that his Five Elements Martial Spirit was in the crater and wanted to go in to take a look. But the spatial collapse emitted a terrifying aura, and he did not dare to go near it.
He could not just give up like this, could he? He had already given up once, and he did not want to give up a second time.
In the past, he did not have any concept of Martial Spirit. He thought that even if he lost it, he could just cultivate it again.
But after seeing the touching scene of Qu Wuyou and Ye Qingxuan, father and daughter, crying together, Ding Ning was deeply moved and did not think that way anymore.
Sometimes, there were some things that could not be turned back once they were missed. It would lead to lifelong regret and remorse.
Just like Qu Wu You, even though his daughter had forgiven him in the end, his wife's death would always be a thorn in his heart. He would never be able to let go of it for the rest of his life. That guilt and guilt would accompany him until he passed away. Perhaps he would only be relieved when he passed away.
Although the Martial Spirits weren't his wife, they were like his children, and he had cultivated them bit by bit to form them.
Back in the Langya Realm, he had no choice but to give up his Martial Spirits in order to save his life. He had thought that they would completely collapse and disappear, and he would not feel anything.
But now, not only did the Martial Spirits not collapse, they gave him a sense of resentment, like that of a child who had been abandoned by his parents. This caused his emotions to become complicated. It was as if he had faintly felt a sense of guilt.
It was just like back in the Luori Continent, when he had decided to let Xuan Ji devour the artifact spirit of the Heavenly Annihilation in order to deal with the Heavenly Tribulation. Although he had never shown it, he had always felt very guilty. It was as if he had personally strangled his newborn child to death. It made him feel a deep sense of guilt.
However, artifact spirits had spirits, but Martial Spirits did not. Only when a spirit was poured into the Martial Spirit could it be considered an independent and complete soul.
Thus, Ding Ning's emotions were unprecedentedly complicated. The Five Elements Martial Spirits seemed to have undergone some kind of change in the Doomsday Storm and had given birth to their own consciousness.
In other words, the Five Elements Martial Spirits now had their own spirits. Although their spirits were still immature, they truly existed.
But was this Martial Spirit still a Martial Spirit?
