Chapter 129: Please Give Me a Chance

Seeing Qin Hu yield on the spot, everyone was horrified.

No one expected that the high and mighty City Lord Qin Hu would be such a coward!

Zhu Xiyan also felt a chill in his heart.

He clearly wanted to save Qin Hu, but he was scolded by the flustered Qin Hu, leaving him speechless for a moment.

"Qin Hu, you and I have a blood feud!"

Su Lang's cold voice came, "How do you expect me to spare you?"

"Lord Su Lang, it's all because I failed to recognize your greatness. I was wrong; I shouldn't have provoked you!"

Qin Hu wept bitterly, his voice trembling, "Please… please give me a chance! Give… give me a chance to make up for my mistake!

I… I… I have been operating in Nanlin City for quite some time!

I have many Spirit Stones, I have many treasures, I am willing to give them all to you in exchange for my miserable life!"

Facing the unbeatable Su Lang and the terrifying crisis of death, Qin Hu completely abandoned all his posturing and lowered his head as humbly as a beggar.

Had he not been hanging from Su Lang's Ice Sword at this moment, he would have knelt directly on the ground to kowtow and beg for mercy.

"Seeing as you are sincerely repentant, I will give you a chance."

Su Lang's lips curled up slowly. Hadn't he come to Nanlin City precisely for more funds to upgrade the System's functions?

Now that there was an opportunity to make a big haul directly from the City Lord of Nanlin City, he naturally couldn't let Qin Hu die just like that.

"Thank you, Lord Su Lang! My deepest thanks, Lord Su Lang!"

Having been granted a chance by Su Lang, Qin Hu suddenly saw a glimmer of hope in his despair, and his eyes erupted with the excitement of having survived a disaster.

"Humph, you only get one chance. If you dare to play any tricks, don't even think about living."

Su Lang sneered, and with a thought, the ten-meter-long Ice Sword suddenly collapsed, dissipating into icy power.

*Thud!*

"Qin Hu is grateful for your mercy, my lord, and would never dare to have any ulterior motives again!"

Qin Hu fell to the ground and immediately scrambled to kowtow to Su Lang.

"Mhm."

Su Lang nodded faintly, his gaze shifting to Zhu Xiyan.

*Hiss…*

Stared down by Su Lang's cold gaze, Zhu Xiyan instantly trembled and sucked in a breath of cold air.

He knew it was his turn for his fate to be decided!

If he took one wrong step, what awaited him would definitely be an incredibly miserable end!

"Lord Su Lang, Zhu Xiyan knows his mistake!"

"I beg Lord Su Lang to be magnanimous and spare me this once!"

Without hesitation, Zhu Xiyan's knees buckled, and he knelt directly on the ground, his forehead hitting the floor with a loud bang!

"Zhu Xiyan, if you can pay a price that satisfies me, I might consider sparing your life."

Su Lang looked down at Zhu Xiyan, a hint of excitement and anticipation flashing in his eyes.

This Zhu Xiyan was the controller of the Four Seas Merchant Guild and a massive fat sheep.

In Nanlin City, the wealthiest people were Qin Hu and Zhu Xiyan; he wondered how much wealth he could squeeze out of them.

"My lord! I am willing to pay any price!"

Seeing a chance to live, Zhu Xiyan immediately showed the same ecstatic look of survival as Qin Hu.

"In that case, have someone go and raise the money immediately."

Su Lang smiled faintly, "Whether you live or not depends on how much 'Life-buying Money' you can provide."

"Yes, yes!"

"We will go raise the money right away and will certainly not disappoint Lord Su Lang!"

Qin Hu and Zhu Xiyan kowtowed like pounding garlic, even creating two large pits in the ground.

The onlookers sighed incessantly at such a scene.

However, they also knew that if it were them, they would likely be even more humble than Qin Hu and Zhu Xiyan!

At this moment, Qin Hu and Zhu Xiyan called out, and several trembling Martial Artists immediately stepped out from the crowd.

These Martial Artists were all from the Four Seas Merchant Guild and the Alliance Branch.

They were all scared witless by Su Lang, lacking even the courage to lift their heads and look at him.

"You all heard Lord Su Lang's words, didn't you!?"

"You must make up for the offense against Lord Su Lang at all costs! Go do it immediately!"

Qin Hu and Zhu Xiyan were both terrified and lingering in fear, their voices so urgent they could barely speak clearly.

"Yes! Your subordinates understand!"

The several Martial Artists nodded hastily and then left quickly.

"Hehe, don't disappoint me!"

Looking at the departing Martial Artists, Su Lang felt an itch in his heart like a cat's paw scratching.

However, there was one more thing he hadn't forgotten.
