Chapter 520: Chapter 231: Daytime Visit to Yang Lu, Whose Side Do We Help?
Peng Bo’s face showed a hint of bitterness. Seeing the ruthlessness in Li Xuantiang’s eyes, he knew it was useless to persist further. He could only grit his teeth and say, “Second Master, if you are willing to take these three children away, I, Peng Bo, am willing to risk this old life of mine to carve out a path of escape for you. How about it?”
“Leader Peng, as long as the green mountains are left, there is no need to worry about firewood. Why act in desperation?”
Li Xuantiang offered some advice, seeing Peng Bo’s determined expression, he knew that he wouldn’t listen anymore. After a moment of silence, he could only nod his head.
“Thank you, Second Master!”
Peng Bo respectfully bowed to Li Xuantiang, then touched the cheek of the infant in his arms before sternly addressing the two children:
“Xiao Ming, Xiao Feng, if I am not mistaken, you are both seven years old now, old enough to remember. Your fathers were killed by Wu Xiong and Han Jiuli. Once you have completed your cultivation, you must seek revenge on the Wushuang and Hanqiong families!”
Seven-year-old Liu Ming and Qin Feng, their bodies were covered with bruises, tear marks hung at the corners of their eyes—clearly, they had suffered much since Yang Lu was breached. At this moment, their spirits were in disarray. Upon hearing Peng Bo’s words, both could only look at him blankly, without any response.
A look of heartache flashed across Peng Bo’s face. He knew that the two little ones likely witnessed their many relatives being killed, and their spirits were on the brink of collapse.
But considering that Yang Lu had no hope left, he could only grit his teeth, endure the heartache, and each gave a slap to their small faces.
Slap…slap…
“Did you hear me? Are you deaf?”
The two children were stunned by the slap, their bodies quivered a few times, then they looked up at Peng Bo with eyes that instantly became clear.
“Wuuu… Granduncle, Granduncle, why did you come back so late? They’re dead, killed. My father, my mother, and even grandfather, all killed.”
“Wuuu… wuuu… Father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, and even elder brother and second brother, third sister, all have been killed. Granduncle, you must save them.”
Peng Bo being in his fifties, couldn’t help but have red eyes hearing the miserable cries of the two children.
The families of his two sworn brothers, Liu He and Qin Gu, had been completely wiped out, leaving only these two grandchildren as the last of their line. How could he not feel the same?
He looked down at his grandson, Peng Zu, in his arms, gritting his teeth, showing a hint of ruthlessness, and directly placed the infant into the hands of Liu Ming and Qin Feng:
“There’s no time for you to cry. From now on, little Zu will depend on you to take care of him. Remember, you must seek revenge on the Wushuang and Hanqiong families!”
After saying this, he rushed forward without looking back.
His target was the building on the outer perimeter.
Even fighting desperately, wanting to kill a Cold Resistance Level within a short time wasn’t likely, let alone four of them together. Opening up a path of escape for Li Xuantiang and the three was the sole objective.
Therefore, he planned to clear the Earth-digging Realm in these outer buildings first, preventing them from shooting arrows to block the path.
Watching Granduncle rush out, Liu Ming and Qin Feng hugged the infant tightly. Though tears still streamed down their faces, their expressions gradually became determined, and deep in their eyes, a seed of vengeance was unmistakably planted.
Bang…
Without hesitation, Peng Bo charged to the nearest building, leaped up, used the Ghost Head Black Blade to slash out a whirlwind, and directly lifted the roof.
“Ah…”
“Ah!”
“So cold…”
…
With the roof lifted, dozens of Earth-digging Realm archers were exposed under the sun. They first screamed miserably, then scattered like rats.
Some sought nearby cover; others painfully ran to other houses attempting to avoid the sunlight; still, others directly fled to the corners…
The scene was both ludicrous and filled with strong irony.
“Kill ’em, I’ll kill ’em, all of you die!”
Peng Bo, having ripped the roof open, didn’t think much further. He only knew that these people below were the arch-criminals who murdered his relatives. Instantly, his eyes filled with blood, he raised his blade and charged forward, ready to start a bloody slaughter.
