Resurrection Empire-Chapter 1059 - 413: Regret (Part 2)

Ren Zhong heard this and took a deep breath, feeling a sense of helplessness welling up in his heart.

He also began to loathe himself like this.

In his true intent, he did not want to exonerate the ancestors of Ma Xiaoling.

In the end, Ren Zhong could only say, "An eye for an eye, when will it end?"

He was already planning in his mind to quickly send a message to Ma Dafu and Ma Xiaoling, telling the father and daughter to leave quickly, to hide for a while and avoid the limelight.

He never expected that just as he was preparing to send a message to Ma Xiaoling, the training ground's gate was pushed open from the outside, and Ma Xiaoling, in her Silver Armor, rushed in with Shi Lin, Wang Qiao, and others.

Even from a distance, Ma Xiaoling noticed Ren Zhong on this side and shouted boldly, "Ren Zhong, you're not being honest! Since you're going on a secret mission, why don't you take us along? Instead, you take these newcomers?"

Seeing this, Ren Zhong frowned, silently thinking, "This is bad."

He wanted to rush over to cover her mouth, but it was already too late.

Ma Xiaoling was already obstinately sticking her neck out, raising her right hand, and pointing her thumb at her face, saying, "I know the matter you're handling can't be simple. The stronger the people you take, the better. But I think you should find a balance, considering both strength and reliability. Although I'm only a Seventh Level warrior, you know my skills, I'm not as good as you, but at least I am a member of the Yangsheng Ma family..."

Bang!

Ren Zhong managed to cover her mouth with his hand, yet it was a step too late.

Behind them, Yu Chengde had already clearly heard everything.

In a fury, he leaped into the air, allowing the alloy War Mace on the back of his black Level Nine armor to slide down, attracted by magnetic force, into his hand.

Ren Zhong looked back and saw Yu Chengde descending like an eagle.

Ren Zhong shouted, "Sir Yu, stop!"

But the enraged Yu Chengde paid no heed.

The engines on the back of his armor spewed forth Flowing Flames, propelling him forward like a meteor, "Ma Family people? Silver Armor and Big Gun! You are indeed that person's descendant! Die for me!"

Despite Yu Chengde's fierce approach, Ren Zhong shielded Ma Xiaoling behind him, making Yu Chengde hesitant to strike immediately. Anxious, he could only reluctantly suppress his killing intent and control his emotions, transmitting to Ren Zhong's wrist watch, "Mr. Ren, step aside! I've realized you were right earlier, an eye for an eye, when will it end. My deep-seated hatred with the Ma family is a matter of the past. I know there's a rightful owner to every grievance and debt, but I can't let go of this obsession in my heart. I promise you, I'll only kill her, and then I'll definitely let go!"

Seeing Yu Chengde unrelenting, Ren Zhong did not step aside, still wanting to drag Ma Xiaoling away to temporarily avoid the danger.

Unfortunately, Ma Xiaoling, being a straightforward person, simply sidestepped Ren Zhong's obstruction, moving forward, while transmitting to Ren Zhong, "I've already told you, you've brought too many outsiders recently, they're unreliable. You're not wearing armor now, go to the side first, I'll hold him off, you go quickly!"

Ren Zhong was so furious he trembled, but there was no time to look back, as a violent explosion behind him sent him flying forward.

In mid-air, Ren Zhong was caught by Wang Qiao, and turning back, he saw Ma Xiaoling being blasted sideways.

As she flew halfway, her Silver Armor disintegrated and collapsed, and then Ma Xiaoling hit the ground with a thud.

Yu Chengde, seizing the advantage, continued to charge forward with his War Mace, intending to deliver a fatal strike. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

At this moment, Bai Feng, Shi Lin, and several Level Eight warriors who had joined the Ren Group for some time now stood protectively in front of Ma Xiaoling.

"Move aside, I'm only killing her, I won't harm the innocent."

Yu Chengde extended his long mace, slanted it toward the ground.

The remaining bit of reason restrained Yu Chengde, barely recalling the reason for his presence there.

Killing the Ma family could be seen as a personal vendetta, but a massacre would be going too far and would trouble Ying Hao.

Using this distraction, Ren Zhong managed to put on the Red Blade Armor that flew to him in mid-air, standing in front of everyone.

"Yu Chengde, I have shown you enough respect and understood your plight. But now is wartime, and this is the army. I am your direct superior and just gave you an order which you did not execute. In my army, military orders override all. What you have done is enough to warrant a death sentence."

Yu Chengde: "But I..."

"No buts, even if you have personal animosity, you must wait until the war is over to address it. Without my permission, how dare you kill my trusted subordinates and disrupt morale? Regardless of any past between the Yangsheng Ma family and you, now you are comrades in the same army. Your actions are equivalent to wielding a blade against comrades and defecting in battle. Even if I value your talents and understand your feelings, I cannot but kill you."
