84: A head full of big men

Jiang Liu was very satisfied seeing the despair on Su Ze's face. He thought of how his beloved grandson was forced to blow himself up—what a desperate situation that must have been to make such a decision?

That was why he wanted Su Ze to experience the same feeling!

"Alright, take this despair with you and apologize to my grandson in the underworld!"

"Wait a moment!" Just as Jiang Liu was about to strike, he was interrupted.

If it were anyone else, he wouldn't have listened at all.

But this person was his own son, Jiang Sheng.

He looked at Su Ze with a look of gratification and said, "Father, leave him to me! I want to avenge Tianlong with my own hands!"

"...Very well." Jiang Liu nodded.

Although Jiang Tian was his favorite grandson, he was, after all, Jiang Sheng's biological son; it was only right that Jiang Sheng be the one to take revenge.

"Then I'll leave him to you!"

Hearing this, Yu Shenghuo prepared to continue resisting, but he was slapped into the dirt by the white tiger.

Behind Jiang Sheng, the black snake had already coiled around his body, then underwent Weaponization on his left arm, turning into a syringe-like short spear fixed to his arm.

At the same time, a faint snake shadow coiled around Su Ze, pinning him in place so he couldn't escape.

"Kid, I won't let you die quickly! I'm going to inject toxin into your body and slowly corrode it, letting you feel what it's like for your internal organs to melt before you finally die in agonizing pain!"

He raised the venomous short spear and arrived in front of Su Ze. Just as he was about to stab down—

Suddenly, an azure dragon halberd fell from the sky, forcefully smashing the short spear in Jiang Sheng's hand!

His soul beast also reverted to its original form because of this, turning into a giant black snake struggling in pain under the azure dragon halberd.

Corrosive blood flowed everywhere, but it was quickly sucked away by the azure dragon halberd.

Jiang Liu's expression changed drastically as he hurriedly shielded his son behind him.

This move with the azure dragon halberd was so fast that he couldn't even see it clearly.

In other words, if that halberd had struck Jiang Liu instead of Jiang Sheng just now, he wouldn't have been able to escape either.

With such formidable strength and such a weapon, only one name came to Jiang Liu's mind: Dragon Tamer Xiao Sheng!

"How can he be here? Wasn't he coordinating with those guys from the Eastern Corps to detonate Mount Fuji? Fusang suffered such heavy losses; did they really just let him come back so easily?"

In fact, they not only didn't dare to stop Xiao Sheng, but they also wished they could hold a fireworks festival immediately after he left to calm their nerves.

Unfortunately, the eruption of Mount Fuji had caused a large number of civilian deaths, so they could only spend these few days pretending to be in pain, bowing and apologizing before various media outlets; they didn't dare to show their joy openly.

Following the azure dragon halberd, Xiao Sheng, dressed in white, slowly and unhurriedly arrived in the air above.

In an instant, the azure dragon halberd transformed into a small but terrifyingly powerful emerald flood dragon, coiling around Xiao Sheng's body.

The black snake was thus liberated and slithered back to Jiang Sheng's side.

However, its body had shriveled significantly; after all, most of its essence blood had just been sucked away by the azure dragon halberd.

Then, the Biyun Flood Dragon coiled around Xiao Sheng looked at the Winged White Tiger below with great hostility, letting out a dragon roar that scared it into tucking its tail and fleeing.

Yu Shenghuo, who had been completely smashed into the dirt, was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Oh? There's actually someone under the tiger?"

Seeing this, Xiao Sheng waved his hand casually to rescue Yu Shenghuo from the ground. Then, a beam of emerald light enveloped him, and Yu Shenghuo's injuries were instantly healed.

Not only were the broken bones in both hands set and returned to their original positions, but Yu Shenghuo even felt that some of the life force he had burned during the previous battle had been restored.

"Father... what do we do? It's Xiao Sheng! With him here, it's impossible for us to succeed in our revenge today! We might even end up getting ourselves killed!" Jiang Sheng said in a panic, looking at the figure in white above.

"What are you panicking for!" Jiang Liu rebuked him.

He then whispered a reminder: "Just remember, that kid Su Ze is still a Great Xia Spirit Guard under your command. You were just disciplining him; even Xiao Sheng can't interfere with that!"

Hearing this, Jiang Sheng swallowed and said, "We... we were just conducting normal training. Does Lord Xiao Sheng have a problem with that?"

"It's nothing," Xiao Sheng said as he descended from the air. "I just happened to be bringing a message in my capacity as the Honorary Legion Commander of the Great Xia Spirit Guards' Eastern Corps."

"Su Ze!" he called out after landing on the ground.

"Hey, I'm here!" Su Ze immediately jogged over to Xiao Sheng. With this backer present, he felt especially confident now.

"Very good, have you already grown this big?"

Su Ze was stunned for a moment. Did this sentence mean he knew him? And it was the childhood version of himself!

Before he could react, Xiao Sheng continued very solemnly: "I am now conveying the orders from the Headquarters of the Great Xia Spirit Guards' Eastern Corps."

"In view of the fact that Spirit Guard Su Ze has repeatedly thwarted the plans of the Fusang Dark Guards, killed a large number of Fusang Dark Guards, and forced out many hidden moles in Great Xia, although he has only been a member for a short time, he has performed outstanding military service. He is hereby promoted to the Detachment Commander of the Thirteenth Detachment of the Great Xia Spirit Guards' Eastern Corps!"

Su Ze was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed.

What had been troubling him before was that Jiang Sheng had become his direct superior, which meant he could use various methods to target him.

Even if this attempt failed because of Xiao Sheng's appearance, there was no guarantee what kind of means would be used next time.

And he was unwilling to be forced out of the Great Xia Spirit Guards like that.

Now, he had also been promoted to a Detachment Commander. Being on equal footing, he naturally didn't have to follow the other's orders anymore.

Jiang Sheng frowned and said, "Lord Xiao Sheng, I don't mean to question you, but the Eastern Corps has a total of four brigades and twelve detachments. Where did a Thirteenth Detachment come from?"

Xiao Sheng smiled and said, "There is one now. In view of the fact that Beishan City has suffered two consecutive attacks from the Fusang Dark Guards in a short period, the Corps Headquarters has decided to establish an additional detachment in Beishan City."

"Su Ze will serve as the Detachment Commander. As for the members, you can choose from existing Great Xia Spirit Guards to join."

Su Ze smiled even more happily. There was no need to choose; he immediately incorporated all the previous Great Xia Spirit Guards into the squad.

The expressions of Jiang Sheng and the other man became increasingly unsightly.

But it wasn't over yet. Su Ze pointed at the Skinny Monkey in front of him and said, "Him, I want him too!"

That person immediately shuddered in fear, clutching Jiang Sheng's leg and saying, "Lo... Lord, if I go over there, they'll definitely torture me to death. I... I don't want to!"

Jiang Sheng was in a foul mood; he kicked him away and said, "You disgraceful thing, if he wants you, then take him. Don't let him foul my sight here!"

"Haha, did you hear that? Come over here!" Sun Hao grabbed him and pulled him over.

The Skinny Monkey was immediately surrounded by a group of burly men with ill intentions, and he instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

"Training us, were you? Don't worry, we'll give you some good 'training' too!"

"He... Help! No!"
