155 Kill one and make an example
Ye Haotian's speed was not fast, just like walking and wandering on the streets on weekdays, but he didn't pause or hesitate at all, as if he didn't see the short knife on Xu Heihu's neck at all.
The last trace of blood on Zheng Taiyuan's face also completely faded with Ye Haotian's approach, he didn't expect Ye Haotian to actually ignore Xu Heihu's life and death, even if he was a master of the Four Realms, it was impossible to stop himself before he killed Xu Heihu.
"If you die, I will avenge you. ”
Ye Haotian's cold voice came into the ears of everyone in the field, he had already taken three steps, and the chill in the hearts of several patriarchs when they heard this resolutely indifferent voice rose sharply.
"Stop him! Yan Sha, Xu Changqing, you guys, join forces to kill him!"
Zheng Taiyuan finally couldn't control the fear in his heart, and roared at the patriarchs of several major families on both sides.
No one shot.
Instead, the patriarchs retreated and made way for Ye Haotian.
"Okay, okay...... You're so good. ”
Zheng Taiyuan laughed angrily, he didn't expect that the offensive and defensive alliance agreed upon before entering the City Lord's Mansion would actually turn into a joke at a critical moment, and these old foxes who swore to fight with the son of the demon god had all become treacherous traitors!
Seeing that no one made a move, Zheng Taiyuan was desperate, he knew that he would not be able to leave the City Lord's Mansion today, his heart was crossed, the killing intent in his eyes suddenly rose, and the short knife in his hand stabbed Xu Heihu's neck fiercely......
......
......
The sharp blade was less than half an inch away from Xu Heihu's throat, Zheng Taiyuan was a powerhouse in the Three Realms, and he didn't even need a blink of an eye to kill, just when everyone thought that the main body of Quicksand City was dying here, a bowstring vibration suddenly sounded in the hall, and a small red arrow flew through at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye, and slammed into Zheng Taiyuan's knife-wielding arm!
At the same time, a violent aura of destruction and killing erupted from the soles of Ye Haotian's feet, and the hard stone ground exploded like a spider web, and his body chased after the small red arrow, and the black long knife turned into a black band of light that covered the sky and the sun, and slashed forward.
The short knife in Zheng Taiyuan's hand had already cut through Xu Heihu's neck, but the small red arrow that suddenly shot into his arm made his body tremble, and the short knife almost fell to the ground.
However, after all, he is a powerhouse of the Three Realms, and the inability to exert force in his arm does not mean that the aura in his body cannot function, with his cultivation, as long as the aura is revealed, it can also shatter Xu Heihu's heart!
But before the aura in his body could penetrate his body, he felt a flower in front of him, a cold neck, and the world around him suddenly spun, and then he saw his body and the blood gushing out of his neck like a spring......
One knife and one arrow, perfectly coordinated and impeccable.
Ye Haotian kicked down Zheng Taiyuan's headless corpse with a kick, and cut the cow tendon rope on Xu Heihu's hand with his backhand.
Xu Heihu's head and shoulders were already soaked with the blood spurted out by Zheng Taiyuan, and he didn't have the slightest fear on his face, but he was frightened by Ye Haotian's sudden knife.
"Damn, can you say it in advance, it scares me to death!"
Xu Heihu complained with palpitations, but he clearly felt that the tip of Ye Haotian's knife was rubbing his neck, and the terrifying chill made him break out in a cold sweat.
Ye Haotian glanced at the wound on Xu Heihu's neck, the wound was very shallow, and it did not hurt the meridians, at this time, Zhuzhu also put away the antler bow and walked over slowly.
There was a dead silence, and everyone looked at Zhuzhu with horror on their faces.
The patriarchs of the major families present today did not participate in the daytime battle, and they also heard that Ye Haotian's little maid was proficient in archery skills, but they didn't expect it to be so strong.
Zheng Taiyuan is a powerhouse in the Three Realms, and his alertness and reaction speed to danger far exceed that of ordinary people, even if it is a bow cultivator in the Three Realms, it is impossible for him to hurt him when he is on guard, and Zhuzhu actually did it, and the arrow was so fast that he didn't have time to react at all, could it be that this petite and weak little girl is also a powerhouse in the Four Realms?!
The shock was followed by a deep fear.
At this time, Ye Haotian's voice sounded.
"I'm sorry, I'm late, I think the Senate can start now. ”
As he spoke, he pulled over a chair and sat down, threw the long black knife in his hand onto the table, and looked coldly at the trembling chiefs and patriarchs in the hall. completely ignored the few family members from Zheng Taiyuan's family.
......
......
The Senate is an ancient tradition that has been handed down since the founding of Quicksand City.
This kind of assembly is very common in the border cities of the Great Xia Kingdom, and its role is that when there is a major event related to the safety of the people in the city, or when a decision is to be made that has a major impact on the future development of the city, the major prestigious family forces will gather together and vote to decide the final result and direction.
The reason why there is such a tradition is inseparable from the chaotic and special environment and folk customs on the border, taking Liusha City as an example, if you don't give those prestigious families a certain right to speak, and don't coordinate the interests of each family, Xu Heihu and his hundreds of soldiers alone don't have the luxury of establishing a foothold in the remote desert.
Not long after Ye Haotian entered Quicksand City, he inquired about the local customs and folk customs, and after getting acquainted with Xu Heihu, he also had a more detailed understanding of several major families in the city with some inheritances, but it was the first time that he really got together with the main affairs of each family.
Before Ye Haotian entered the door, the major families continued to put pressure on Xu Heihu, and finally made a stiff Zheng Taiyuan angrily, and now Ye Haotian killed Zheng Taiyuan with violent and violent means, and the attitude of the patriarchs of the major families suddenly changed.
The cultivation world has always respected strength, and it is only for those hairy boys who have just debuted, which of the big people in Quicksand City on the scene today does not understand the truth that a big man can bend and stretch, and the reason why they didn't do it at the beginning was that they were worried that an accident would happen and they wanted to leave a way back for themselves.
Of course, there is another important reason that although they also have dealings with the demons behind their backs, they are all petty fights, and they are far less thorough than the Zheng family. Food is an important strategic material in the Great Xia Kingdom, the most important reason why the demon race is suppressed by humans is that the lack of food restricts the development of the population, otherwise I am afraid that it will dominate the continent long ago, and the Zheng family will trade with the demon clan with food, which is equivalent to forcing the entire family into a dead end.
Zheng Taiyuan died without turning a blind eye. The headless corpse was lying behind Ye Haotian, and his head fell in the middle of the council room, in the face of this situation, where did the major families dare to say anything to hand over Ye Haotian's words, and put all the responsibility on the Zheng family.
For the several major families in Quicksand City, Ye Haotian had heard Xu Heihu talk about it many times, he knew that they didn't have much evil deeds except for the Zheng family, and now that the enemy is current, everyone in the city is a powerful help, they can change their attitude, that is what Ye Haotian is most willing to see, while these old foxes bowed their heads and admitted their mistakes, he also helped them say good things to Xu Heihu, and promised that they would not turn their old bottom after defeating the demon army.
