X-Dragon Era-Chapter 499 - s 361-363 A Decade-Long Promise_4
Above Yinglong, Xin Yun’s right hand held a jade seal aloft, which spun slowly in the air. Upon closer inspection, one could see nine dragons entwined on the seal, radiating a dazzling array of treasured light—a clear sign that it was no ordinary object!
With a gentle push of his right hand, the jade seal levitated and expanded in response to the wind. At the same time, the nine Jade Dragons coiled around it took flight and roared as they freed themselves from the seal, releasing an indescribable and overwhelming power that ran rampant.
Feeling the terrifying pressure emanating from the jade seal, and the formidable aura of the nine Jade Dragons, Luo Fu’s expression became more serious than ever. It was clear... this was a magical artifact, an Innate Spiritual Treasure powerful enough to kill him!
But being able is one thing, and succeeding is another. A knife can kill a man, but whether it actually will is determined by many factors. Even faced with such a terrifying magical artifact, Luo Fu remained entirely unafraid. In fact... Luo Fu was the type of person who believed he could withstand even the falling sky. No matter the opponent, he had never shown fear. Back then... even when surrounded by the Nine Great Experts, fear was not something seen in him!
However, even though he knew no fear, he still had the necessary judgment. Luo Fu knew that under the power of this magical artifact, even if he survived, his odds of living were akin to nine deaths and one life, with survival chances nearly zero. Was he afraid of death? No... how could the God of Slaughter fear death? How could one become the God of Slaughter if they feared death? Only those who are indifferent to life and death, or who see death as returning home, could possibly rise to become a renowned God of Slaughter!
Just as Luo Fu was mustering his courage, preparing to confront the Treasure Seal head-on, Xin Yun chuckled, "Hmm... your confidence remains as strong as ever. But... have you considered that in this battle, let alone whether you can survive, first of all, your remaining five children will die. And the probability of you surviving is virtually zero. In the end... even if you barely survive, what harm could you possibly do to me?"
"You!" On hearing Xin Yun’s words, Luo Fu exploded in rage. The reason for his anger was because he could not refute Xin Yun’s point. Once the fight began, he would be incapable of protecting his five children, who would be turned to dust in an instant during such intense combat.
And even if he fought to the end, Xin Yun would likely remain unharmed; at most, his magical artifact would be broken, and he would simply walk away, leaving Luo Fu with no way to affect him.
Looking at the furious yet helpless Luo Fu, Xin Yun smiled faintly and raised his right hand, reclaiming the Kongtong Seal. Though powerful, using the Kongtong Seal just once would consume tens of thousands of Immortal Stones, and Xin Yun was now left with just over eighty thousand Immortal Stones—hardly something he was willing to squander casually. Besides... killing Luo Fu was something Xin Yun actually did not want to do.
On seeing Xin Yun withdraw the magical artifact, Luo Fu was stunned. Just as he began to wonder, Xin Yun’s voice rang out again: "Now we can continue our discussion. As I said before, I can save your two sons!"
Luo Fu’s eyes lit up upon hearing Xin Yun’s statement. Possessing such strength, Luo Fu’s wisdom was undeniable; a fool could never become an expert.
From Xin Yun’s actions, Luo Fu understood Xin Yun’s motive. Clearly... although willing to help, Xin Yun did not wish to do so under threat. Now... Xin Yun had proved with facts that he had the capacity to speak to Luo Fu on equal terms, even from a condescending vantage point given the current situation.
After contemplation, Luo Fu took a deep breath and said, "Alright, I apologize for my improper behavior just now and hope you won’t mind. Please save my two poor children."
Hearing Luo Fu’s words, Xin Yun was taken aback. He had never heard of Luo Fu apologizing before; it was an unbelievable tale in the last lifetime.
But after a moment’s thought, Xin Yun understood. Luo Fu had truly made a name for himself in the last life after going mad; his heart was full of murderous intent, and with everyone that could have possibly mattered to him dead, who could make him apologize in this world? Death was but a trivial matter; indeed, Luo Fu could truly claim to be fearless!
While contemplating, Xin Yun smiled and shook his head, "There’s no need for apologies; I don’t want any. Saving your two sons is not an issue. However, this is how the world works. You and I are not kin, so if I save your children, what benefit would you offer me in return?"
"This! I..." Upon hearing Xin Yun’s words, Luo Fu was at a loss. After so many years in seclusion, he had no valuable treasures left!
Yet, after only a brief hesitation, Luo Fu made up his mind and looked firmly at Xin Yun, "Whatever you want, I’ll give it to you. Even though I don’t have it now, as long as it exists in this world, I can get it for you!"

Hearing Luo Fu’s words, Xin Yun smiled slightly. If it was Luo Fu saying this, it certainly wasn’t a bluff. With his relentless spirit, even the Ten Great Families would be wary of him. If he wanted something, it was generally better to give it to him to avoid stirring up trouble.
After some thought, Xin Yun smiled and said, "I lack nothing, so I don’t need anything from you. However... I have a city that currently requires a commanding general to guard it. If you agree to protect it for ten years, I will save your sons!"
