Supreme Demon God

Chapter 40: Hoist by His Own Petard

There were not many residents in Sun Martial City, with a total of less than 100,000.

There were not many cultivators, about 10,000 to 20,000, and most of them were only Qi Refining Realm cultivators. There were even fewer people who could cultivate to the Foundation Building Realm, let alone the Core Formation Realm.

Before Song Qian's persecution and the instigation of the remnant forces of the four major families, those people ran to the Mo Family's mansion one after another, wanting to become an enemy of the Mo Family.

After being killed by Mo Xiu, everyone was so frightened that they never dared to have the thought of fighting the Mo Family again.

Since Mo Xiu could not be dealt with, the next thing to face was the massacre of Song Qian's 100,000-man-army.

Although these people were easily persecuted and prone to incitement, they were not fools and knew what the right choice was. Therefore, seeing that they were going to fight Song Qian's 100,000 armies, they rushed to the Mo Family and said they would stand on the Mo Family's side

At this time, those warriors from the Mo Family were officially dispatched.

After receiving Mo Xiu's instructions, Mo Ruyi led the people of the Mo Family and the warriors in Sun Martial City, lying in ambush everywhere in the city, waiting for Song Qian and the others to come to the door.

Of course, they heard the shouts of killing near the city gate, but they didn't know what was fighting with Song Qian's 100,000 armies, so they all felt a little strange.

Although there were also city guards, there were a total of about two thousand people, and the two thousand or so city guards could be said to be miscellaneous in the miscellaneous army. Few had participated in the battlefield fight, so people expected these newbies to be completely defeated before they officially met Song Qian's 100,000 armies.

Therefore, it was impossible that those city guards were fighting with Song Qian's army.

That being the case, where did the shouts of killing near the city gate come from? When would Sun Martial City have an elite army that could match Song Qian's 100,000 armies?

"Patriarch Ruyi, are you sure Song Qian and the others will flee?" Someone asked, feeling a bit unsure.

Of course, Mo Ruyi was also not sure, but this was what Mo Xiu told her, she was willing to unconditionally believe in Mo Xiu's judgment.

Upon hearing this, she nodded, "I'm sure!"

"Are you that they will come because of being defeated, and not with a hundred thousand armies?" Someone asked again.

"Where did so much nonsense come from? Our Patriarch has already come out in person, do you think she still has to take a personal risk?" A gentleman couldn't help but say disdainfully.

Hearing this, everyone shut up, but the worry in their hearts was inevitable.

Soon, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps. After everyone looked up, they saw Song Qian leading the armies and retreating, fleeing here.

"kill!"

Mo Ruyi let out a soft cry and immediately led the warriors from Sun Martial City to kill Song Qian's army.

Song Qian was leading the army to retreat. Without any sign, he heard a scream of killing, and a crowd of black and heavy people appeared behind him, making him almost lose his soul in fright.

"Not good! There is an ambush!"

Before Song Qian could make a response, the warriors in Sun Martial City had already rushed into the army, cooperating with Mo Xiu's Demon Puppets to fight.

The relatively orderly formation just now was suddenly disrupted. The army had an advantage in numbers, but now this advantage no longer existed.

The scene was out of order, and only the screams of death could be heard. Song Qian also roared out his order, but no matter how he gave orders, it wouldn't help.

Blood spattered, and from time to time, soldiers or warriors from Sun Martial City fell down with a scream.

"It's over!" Song Qian's face finally turned pale.

At this moment, he finally understood what was called "hoist by one's own petard".

Before, he didn't take the warriors of Sun Martial City seriously at all, thinking that if his 100,000 armies were dispatched, these people in Sun Martial City would be like lambs to be slaughtered. At best, they would struggle for the last time and try their best to find troubles at the Mo Family's mansion.

But he didn't expect that after he said he wanted to slaughter the city, it instead forced these people in Sun Martial City to the opposite side of him, the Mo Family.

Originally, it was nothing to stand on the side of the Mo Family. After all, what he said was true, he was really going to massacre the city, and he was not joking. A hundred thousand armies were indeed enough to defeat the Mo Family and destroy the entire Sun Martial City.

But the three thousand Demon Puppets that popped up out of nowhere disrupted his plan from beginning to end, reducing his 100,000 armies to only thirty or forty thousand. His army was completely defeated.

If he knew this a long time ago, he would not say anything to lead the army into Sun Martial City, or say anything like slaughtering the entire Sun Martial City.

Now, it was too late to regret it!

He was afraid that the remaining thirty to four thousand troops could not be kept, and it was even possible that Song Qian would become Mo Xiu's prisoner.

"Nothing like this will happen!" Song Qian gritted his teeth, used his True Energy, and shouted, "Everyone, rush to me!"

Five hundred guards followed Song Qian and broke through. The remaining soldiers also rushed to him but were killed to death along the way. But still, many of them broke through and fled behind Song Qian in embarrassment.

Most of the soldiers who failed to break through the encirclement smoothly either died under the claws of the Demon Puppets or died in the hands of the warriors in Sun Martial City.

"Chase!"

Mo Ruyi did not intend to let Song Qian go, and soon led the warriors in Sun Martial City to pursue Song Qian and others.

...

About half an hour later, Song Qian led the remnant soldiers to hide in an uninhabited dilapidated house.

Mo Ruyi also led the warriors of Sun Martial City to hunt down here and surrounded the house completely.

What happened to the Mo Family before, almost exactly the same happened to Song Qian at this time. The so-called retribution was nothing more than the same.

Song Qian looked at the embarrassment of his people in the yard, and then roughly counted the number of people, and found that the thirty or forty thousand people just now was reduced to only less than one thousand left.

Just now, even his 30,000 or 40,000 people were not those guys' opponents, but now that there were less than a thousand people left, his team was completely reduced to lambs waiting to be slaughtered. Moreover, even if this yard was enough for all his people to hide, they still could not hide for a lifetime.

"I'm guilty!" Song Qian sighed, looking regretful.

"My Lord..." The soldiers wanted to exculpate Song Qian.

Song Qian waved his hand, indicating that everyone didn't have to make excuses for him.

Soon he said again, "Now, we only have one chance kill Yan Ran and capture Mo Xiu alive. Originally, our goal was also this. As long as this goal was achieved, the death of our brothers will not be in vain. After returning, I can explain to His Majesty. Besides, Mo Xiu should have the final say in Sun Martial City now. Only by capturing Mo Xiu alive can we get away smoothly."

He said, looking around, "Where is Qin Huaili and the others?"

"My Lord, this way!"

Everyone retreated to the left and right, and then saw a few guards escorting the main Qin Family members headed by Qin Huaili to Song Qian.

Although the scene was chaotic just now, these guards of Song Qian were not simple after all. They were much stronger than ordinary soldiers. The people of the Qin Family had always been controlled by these guards, so they were neither killed nor had a chance to escape.

Qin Huaili, the former head of the Qin Family, was also embarrassed at this time, even more embarrassed than Song Qian and the others.

He lowered his head and seemed to have no courage to look at Song Qian.

Song Qian didn't talk nonsense with Qin Huaili and the others, just made a gesture with his eyes, and the guards pulled out their swords and put them on the necks of the main members of the Qin Family including Qin Huaili.

After doing this, Song Qian looked at the mysterious man in a black robe and a ghost mask, hesitated for a while, and said, "I may trouble you next."

"Yeah." The ghost-maksed man nodded.

Among the people present, only he seemed to be the calmest, without the slightest embarrassment, and he didn't seem to worry at all.

After the ghost-masked man nodded, Song Qian secretly felt relieved.

After that, he looked in the direction of the gate of the courtyard and waited quietly, waiting for the warriors from Sun Martial City to attack.

The yard was noisy for a while, and soon, he heard a "boom", the door was broken open, Mo Ruyi led the warriors of Sun Martial City into the yard.

Without waiting for the two sides to fight again, Song Qian shouted, "Hold on!"

Mo Ruyi raised her slender hand, motioned to everyone, and moved slowly.

"Are you Mo Ruyi of the Mo Family?" Song Qian's eyes fell on Mo Ruyi.

"Exactly." Mo Ruyi nodded gently.

Song Qian glanced around and asked, "Where is Mo Xiu?"

The crowd timely separated a path as a figure came to Mo Ruyi's side and looked at Song Qian.

"You are Mo Xiu?" Song Qian saw Mo Xiu in person for the first time.

"Yes." Mo Xiu nodded.

Song Qian looked at Mo Xiu up and down, then turned his attention to Qin Huaili and others, "You should be familiar with Qin Huaili, Patriarch of the Qin Family, but now the Qin Family has been destroyed by me, do you know why?"

The Qin Family belonged to the aristocratic family in the Fu City of the Azure Prefecture, not the aristocratic family in Sun Martial City.

Both Sun Martial City and Fu City were in the Azure Prefecture, but there was still a distance between the two cities.

Mo Xiu knew everything about Sun Martial City but didn't know much about the situation in Fu City, so he just learned that the Qin Family was destroyed by Song Qian.

As for why the Qin Family was destroyed by Song Qian, Mo Xiu didn't know and didn't care much.

Without waiting for Mo Xiu's answer, Song Qian continued, "It's all because of you! Because you made Qin Huaili a Storm Pill, the Qin Family was destroyed by me."

If it was just for this reason, the Qin Family was really wronged, and it could be seen how unreasonable Song Qian was.

Having said that, if Song Qian had not been an unreasonable butcher, he would have never said that he would slaughter the entire Sun Martial City either.

Of course, the reason for the Qin Family's destruction was more than this. There were many interest entanglements behind it, but those interest entanglements had nothing to do with Mo Xiu, and Song Qian had no reason to elaborate.

His eyes were fixed on Mo Xiu and laughed, "How is it? Do you feel a little guilty? Now, their lives are in my hands. If you want to save them..."

"Guilty? Why should I feel guilty?" Mo Xiu shook his head slightly, "What are they? Why should I save them?"

"Ugh"

Song Qian was stunned, never expected that Mo Xiu would answer like this.
