Chapter 677: Sworn Brothers!
"The Saint Martial Assembly..."
Su Yi's eyes lit up. The Saint Martial Assembly was the biggest event in the Central Region. The Divine Sword School would participate, as well as Sacred Mountain.
"In the Saint Martial Assembly, top two means top two. It's a deal. You better keep your word when the time comes."
Su Yi nodded. If a Soul Tamer at the third grade of the Yuan Emperor Realm, someone like Lifetaken Yama Xi Wuqing, can join the Divine Demonic Sect for the Saint Martial Assembly, it would undoubtedly greatly strengthen the power of the Divine Demonic Sect.
"It's a deal. Remember, just the top two!" Xi Wuqing swept his sleeve. The top two in the Saint Martial Assembly are the pinnacle showdown among the younger generation of the entire Central Region. The most outstanding young talents in the Sacred Mountain will participate. To enter the top two requires extraordinary talent that can be recognized by the world.
"Why would that be difficult!" Su Yi felt confident. If he couldn't even enter the top two in the Saint Martial Assembly, how could he step onto the Sacred Mountain in the future?
"Good, if you really make it to the top two, my old bones will join your sect, no problem." Xi Wuqing raised his eyes and took a sip, his eyes gleaming.
"Here, let me have a sip too." Su Yi snatched the wine gourd from Xi Wuqing's hand, afraid that he would drink it all.
"Kid, there isn't much of this wine left. Save some for me, okay?"
"Senior Xi is being so stingy. Next time, I'll give you some good wine back!""Haha, what kind of good wine can a kid like you bring out? Not all wine can be called good wine, you know."
"For ordinary wine, I wouldn't dare bring it out. Next time, I'll make sure to satisfy Senior Xi!"
"Speaking of which, you understand my personality pretty well, kid. No need to call me 'senior', I'm not that old yet."
"Senior isn't old, so how about this? Since we have a connection, let's become sworn brothers, even with an age difference. What do you think?"
"You want to become sworn brothers with me?"
"By the heavens and earth, today, I, Su Yi , and Xi Wuqing become sworn brothers, supporting each other in times of trouble and sharing happiness. We may not be born on the same day, but we aim for the same day... Ah, no. That's not fair. Let's just support each other in times of trouble and share happiness. If either of us breaks this oath, lightning shall strike on the same day, with thunder from the heavens!"
"Hahaha, you little rascal, you're really... but you're honest. Come, today Xi Wuqing and Su Yi become friends of the opposite sex, we face difficulties together, share blessings together. If we go against this oath, let the thunder strike us, let the five thunders blast our heads!"
"Hahaha, bro!"
"You stinky kid."
"..."
After a while, Su Yi lies on the ground, drunk, without using any energy. He finally gets his wish for a good sleep and falls asleep.
Looking at Su Yi lying on the ground, Xi Wuqing gazes at the dark sky. His eyes shine brightly, whispering softly, "Success or failure are just fleeting. The green mountains remain, the sunset appears several times. With white hair, I've watched the autumn moon and felt the spring breeze on the river. A cup of strong wine brings joy when we meet. Countless stories, ancient and modern, all become laughter!"
As the words fall, filled with sighs, Xi Wuqing seems to be moved by something and also falls to the ground asleep.
...
"A young boy, so ruthless!"
In the vast mountains and a small town, several strong men were lying on the ground in all directions. One tall man in a green outfit had an unpleasant expression on his face, his eyes filled with coldness.
"Boss, that kid is really ruthless. He crippled all of us. If you hadn't arrived earlier, we would have all ended up in the belly of a demon beast."
One man, covered in blood, looked terrified. They all had been disabled and encountered a demon beast. Usually, people would get swallowed, but they managed to escape a disaster.
"Search! Find him! As long as he's still in the Forest of Demons, there's no way that kid can escape. Inform all the brothers to look for him. No matter who he is, we must not let him go. Otherwise, others will think that my Blood Blade Mercenary Group is afraid!"
The tall man in the green outfit filled his eyes with murderous intent. An invisible aura of bloodthirst emanated, making people tremble.
...
The next day, in the morning.
Su Yi gradually woke up and slapped his head, then sat up immediately.
"Hey, did you wake up?" said Xi Wuqing , sitting cross-legged next to Su Yi , opening his slightly closed eyes and looking at him with a helpless expression.
"Yes, I did," Su Yi rubbed his eyes and glanced around. Then his eyes suddenly lit up as he looked at Xi Wuqing and asked, "Hey, bro, did we become sworn brothers?"
Although his mind was still a bit confused, Su Yi remembered clearly that they had bowed and become brothers yesterday.
"You're quite perceptive, kid. I, Xi Wuqing , have experienced so much in my life, yet I fell into your hands," Xi Wuqing said helplessly, giving Su Yi a disapproving look. He had been cautious and careful his entire life, but yesterday he fell into the hands of this kid without any defense, and now they were sworn brothers. If this gets out, he won't be able to face anyone.
"Big brother, we can't speak like that. Yesterday we bowed and paid respects together. In the future, we'll share good times and help each other in tough times. Otherwise, bad things will happen to us. Let's not invite trouble upon ourselves."
Su Yi chuckled, thinking about the ceremony they had performed together. Now he had someone he could rely on.
"Ah... like a falcon hunting all day, only to be pecked in the eye by a little chick. You sly kid."
Xi Wuqing let out a sigh, feeling like he had fallen into a trap set by this young boy.
"Alright, I acknowledge you, you little brat," Xi Wuqing said. "But let me make it clear, if you can't rank in the top two of the Saint Martial Assembly, I won't join your sect either. I've lived my whole life as a free man, and I don't want to be a part of any sect."
"The Saint Martial Assembly..."
Su Yi suddenly slapped his forehead, only then realizing the matter of the Saint Martial Assembly. Yesterday, he did promise Xi Wuqing, also a man, that he would participate in the Saint Martial Assembly and enter the top two before Xi Wuqing would join the sect.
"If you regret it, you don't have to go," Su Yi said.
Xi Wuqing looked at Su Yi, in the Saint Martial Assembly, the young generation of the entire Central Region would participate, as well as the outstanding disciples of Sacred Mountain. To enter the top two meant surpassing the outstanding young generation of all the major sects in the Central Region, and ultimately having to confront the strongest young generation of Sacred Mountain. The difficulty could be imagined.
Looking at Xi Wuqing, Su Yi shook his head. On his firm face, his gaze was resolute, with a slight smile. He said, "I will participate in the Saint Martial Assembly and definitely enter the top two!"
Originally, Su Yi planned to go directly to the Chaos Realm. He didn't want to participate in the Saint Martial Assembly, which included disciples from Sacred Mountain and the Divine Sword School.
However, at this moment, there were conditions from Lifetaken Yama Xi Wuqing.
Su Yi knew very well that participating in the Saint Martial Assembly was not a big deal. However, if he could get Xi Wuqing, another man, to join the Divine Demonic Sect, then it would all be worth it.
