âChenfeng, Iâve always said not to underestimate us old folks.Now you know Iâm still as sharp as ever, right?â As the second metal needle pierced Wu Guotianâs heart, he felt a sharp pain.
Turning his head, he tried to keep his voice calm, knowing that today was truly the day he would die.
âOld Wu, I know youâre tough.
Letâs hurry on now!â Ye Chenfeng hadnât noticed anything wrong with Wu Guotian.
Wu Guotian shook his head, his complexion growing paler, and said with a trembling voice, âWhen one gets old, one can no longer keep going.
Iâve spent my whole life busy for Huaxia Country; itâs time for me to stop and rest.
Chenfeng, would you promise me one thing?â
Seeing Wu Guotianâs increasingly pale face and hearing his incomprehensible words, Ye Chenfeng realized something was wrong with Wu Guotian.
He rushed to Wu Guotianâs side, and when he saw the small blood hole in Wu Guotianâs chest, he hastily said, âOld Wu, why didnât you say earlier that the metal needle had pierced your heart?
Arenât you treating your life as a joke?â
Ye Chenfeng quickly placed his right palm against Wu Guotianâs back, and his Soul Force slowly infiltrated Wu Guotianâs body.
After probing with his Soul Force, Ye Chenfeng could feel that the metal needle had pierced through Wu Guotianâs heart.
Wu Guotianâs heart was rapidly failing, and at this moment, Ye Chenfeng wasnât completely certain he could pull Wu Guotian back from the Ghost Gate Pass. á´á´á´ á´á´á´ ę°Ęá´á´ É´ovel(ę°)ÉŞre.ná´t
All he could do was his best.
The members of the Soldier King Group looked with concern at their commander, who had been hit by the metal needle in his heart.
They had been trained under Wu Guotianâs hands; many of them were orphans who grew up in the Soldier King Group.
For them, Wu Guotian was not only their commander but also their father, and their feelings for him were profound.
Abert and the elite operatives from eight other countries, upon seeing Wu Guotian in critical condition, wore smug smiles on their faces.
A surviving elite from Country H stood in front of Wu Guotian and said, âBeing pierced through the heart by a metal needle leaves no chance of survival.
Youâre just wasting your energy.â
The first thing Ye Chenfeng needed to do was to expel the metal needle from Wu Guotianâs body.
He coldly glanced at the Country H elite standing in front of Wu Guotian and said tersely, âGet out of my way.â
The elite from Country H, carried away by his emotions, said, âYe Chenfeng, donât go too far.
Donât think that just because you can kill me anytime, you can order me around.
Am I not speaking the truth?
Wu Guotian is surely done for.â
As the words of the Country H elite had barely fallen, a soft âpfft!â sounded.
The metal needle, which had been buried in Wu Guotianâs heart, shot out from his chest and, before anyone could react, embedded itself in the throat of the Country H elite standing in front of Wu Guotian.
âUhh uhh uhhâŚâ The elite from Country H made painful noises, clutching his neck tightly, his body struggling incessantly.
Now, he finally understood why Ye Chenfeng had told him to get out of the way.
Unfortunately, it was already too late for him; the light in his eyes gradually faded, and his body slowly fell to the ground.
The remaining seven elites from other countries hadnât expected Wu Guotian to survive, and it was instead the elite from Country H, who had openly rejoiced at Wu Guotianâs peril, that had died first.
They knew they couldnât blame Ye Chenfengâas he had already warned the other man.
Besides, even if they wanted to blame Ye Chenfeng, they lacked the ability to do so.
The Soldier King Group alone outnumbered them, not to mention that Ye Chenfeng himself was a formidable presence.
Using his Level Nine Soul Force, Ye Chenfeng did everything he could to heal Wu Guotianâs damaged heart.
All Wu Guotian could feel was a stabbing pain.
With a weak voice, he said, âChenfeng, you still havenât told me if you would agree to one thing for me?â
âOld man Wu, canât you keep quiet for a moment?
Otherwise, you really are going to die,â Ye Chenfeng said with irritation.
Wu Guotian stubbornly spoke, âChenfeng, I know Iâm truly old now.
Whether I can survive today or not, I wish you would promise me one thing.â
Seeing that Wu Guotian was persistent, Ye Chenfeng could only say, âOld man Wu, stop beating around the bush.
I promise, alright?â
Upon hearing Ye Chenfengâs agreement, Wu Guotian indeed stopped talking.
As the Soul Force inside his body was being drained, beads of sweat densely covered Ye Chenfengâs forehead and cheeks.
Feeling Wu Guotianâs heart wound slowly healing, Ye Chenfeng finally let out a sigh of relief.
He needed to conserve his strengthâfor who knew what dangers lay ahead?
Therefore, he couldnât afford to deplete his Soul Force significantly.
For now, he just needed to save Wu Guotianâs life, and he could thoroughly treat him after they left this place.
Once Ye Chenfeng felt that Wu Guotian was no longer in mortal danger, he withdrew his hand from Wu Guotianâs back.
The members of the Soldier King Group, seeing their commander was now out of danger, all finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, Abert and the other seven elite operatives from various countries widened their eyes in disbelief as they saw Wu Guotian survive a heart pierced by a metal needle, knowing that all of it must be Ye Chenfengâs doing.
Wu Guotian, feeling himself truly out of mortal peril, was filled with the joy of a narrow escape from deathâwho wishes to die, after all?
Wu Guotian said, âChenfeng, donât forget what you promised me just now.
Now I realize that I truly am old.
I want to leave the Soldier King Group in your hands to manage.
I know you may dislike constraints, but the Soldier King Group would be a significant support for you.â
âChenfeng, I believe you will need it in the future.
Moreover, even if you decide to take the present members of the Soldier King Group and leave it, I wonât have any objections.
As long as you can find and eliminate the Empireâs strongholds within our Huaxia Country, then lend a helping hand when Huaxia Country faces difficulties, that would be enough,â he continued.
âAs long as you can do these two things, whether the Soldier King Group exists or not wonât have any impact on Huaxia Country anymore.
This is the symbol of the commander of the Soldier King Group, and now I am handing it over to you.â
Wu Guotian took out a golden token from inside his clothing and stuffed it into Ye Chenfengâs hand.
It was engraved with a large âĺ ľâ character.
Wu Guotian knew that with his own abilities, he was simply no match for the Empire.
In his opinion, the only person in Huaxia Country capable of standing up to them seemed to be Ye Chenfeng alone, which is why he made this decision at this critical moment.
Having come close to death, Wu Guotian suddenly saw many things clearly.
It was now the time for the younger generation, and the things he could do for Huaxia Country were diminishing.
Handing over the Soldier King Group to Ye Chenfeng might be a good choice.
Although he knew Chenfeng was someone who disliked constraints, he wasnât trying to shackle Chenfeng.
Even if Chenfeng led the current members away from the Soldier King Group, as long as he could stand up and resolve a crisis for Huaxia Country in its time of need, Wu Guotian would be very satisfied.
Ye Chenfeng had been considering training a batch of true experts to have the strength to sweep through the Ancient Martial World in the future.
However, the members of the Victory Sky Society generally had poor foundations.
To train experts quickly, Ye Chenfeng needed to find some with good fundamentals, and the Soldier King Groupâs members were a decent choice.
If it was as Wu Guotian said, he could even take all the members away from the Soldier King Group.
After pondering for a moment, Ye Chenfeng asked, âOld man Wu, are you really planning to do this?
If I truly can take the members of the Soldier King Group with me and leave, then I accept your conditions.
Whenever Huaxia Country faces a crisis, I will definitely stand up.
After all, my blood flows with that of Huaxia.
I wouldnât just stand by and watch the country perish.â
Wu Guotian nodded in satisfaction and said, âChenfeng, every time I see you, I witness miracles.
I really donât know how far you can go in the future.
I hope that one day Huaxia Country will shine because of you.â (To be continued.
