Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 34 - : Better Late Than Never
Chapter 34: Chapter 34: Better Late Than Never
Song Qingyuan finally couldn’t keep his composure.
He had thought the Arrow Guards could accomplish something, but they couldn’t stop Shi Hao at all, and he had thought the Iron Guards could stop Shi Hao, yet they were also swept aside just the same.
This young man was definitely a martial master, and had even reached the Primary Level martial master’s Peak, stronger than himself.
“Go and ask the Third Ancestor to come out!” Song Qingyuan said in a heavy voice.
What, to actually ask the Third Ancestor to come out?
The people of the Song Family all shuddered at heart, as the Third Ancestor was another Primary Level martial master in the Song Family, and also the strongest.
However, the Third Ancestor had suffered too many injuries when he was young, and had accumulated a lot of problems in his old age. Each time he made a move, he would be in great pain, and the physician had also said that every time the Third Ancestor took action, he would live at least two years less.
This was truly gambling with one’s life.
The situation… had it really become so dire that even the Third Ancestor needed to be called out?
“Go!” Song Qingyuan commanded sharply, he was clearer than anyone about the importance of the Third Ancestor. Although this master was not keen on taking action, as long as he existed, the Song Family was among the Five Great Noble Families.
But once the Third Ancestor was gone, although the Song Family wouldn’t fall out of the ranks of the Five Great Noble Families, they would definitely rank last.
This meant that the Song Family would lose a lot of business, and under a vicious cycle, it might even affect the foundation of the Song Family, pulling open the curtain to their decline.
If there were a choice, he certainly wouldn’t want to take such a risk, but if the Third Ancestor wasn’t called out today, the Song Family would be utterly defeated. Then, perhaps tomorrow, they might be attacked by the other four Great Families and be expelled!
Don’t think that because the Five Great Noble Families are listed together, they are as close as family. What a joke, Mengyang City is only so big, who wouldn’t want to occupy a larger share of the benefits?
Shi Hao had no patience to wait for this Third Ancestor to come out, he continued forward, “Where is Song Tianming? Didn’t he want to kill me by his own hands? I am here!”
Song Tianming was actually among the crowd, sitting in a wheelchair, shivering all over. How could he dare to come out at this time?
My God, had he known Shi Hao was this strong, he would have been crazy to make an enemy of such a person!
Are you sick? If you are so strong, why pretend to be a cripple?
Instead of reflecting on his own actions, he pushed the blame onto Shi Hao.
“Oh, found you.” Shi Hao had already spotted Song Tianming in the crowd, changed direction, and walked toward him with easy strides.

Song Qingyuan had no choice but to stand out, this was the Song Family’s territory, how could he allow someone to do as they pleased?
“Stop right there!” he shouted, not rushing forward lightly. As the only one, he felt that he was very likely not Shi Hao’s match.
But Shi Hao ignored him and continued walking toward Song Tianming.
Song Qingyuan had no choice but to burst forward in a lunge, attacking Shi Hao.
“Seeking death?” Shi Hao’s eyes flashed fiercely, and he turned back with a punch.
Song Qingyuan had no choice but to catch it, also with a punch, aiming for Shi Hao.
Bang!
The collision of their fists was shocking, and Song Qingyuan let out a scream as his arm bone was actually broken, piercing through clothing and jutting out.
Mom!
That was a martial master, and in a head-on punch exchange, had his strength overpowered and his bone directly broken?
Heaven, how strong was that young man? And how incredibly tough were his bones?
Shi Hao smiled. He hadn’t used forceful energy yet, but after several days of medicinal baths and the Tyrant Body Technique, his physical strength had far surpassed that of a martial master’s level. In fact, he was confident he could take the attacks of a Cloud-Piercing Crossbow head-on.
To clash head-on with him?
Wasn’t that like using an egg to smash a stone?
Shi Hao withdrew his fist, not bothering with another strike; a minor character was not worth paying attention to.
He continued walking towards Song Tianming.
Song Tianming was scared to the point of wetting himself, shivering non-stop, and even though he was surrounded by his clansmen, he felt not even the slightest bit of safety. He felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, cold to the bone.
“Who’s the junior who dares to act so recklessly in our Song Family!” a loud shout boomed like thunder.
An old man with a hunched back appeared, as skinny as a skeleton, with only his eyes full of ferocity.
It was the third elder of the Song Family, Song Yuanliang, at the Primary Level martial master Peak!
Seeing this elder, the Song Family members seemed to gain their backbone all at once, bracing themselves together.
This is the third elder, as long as he takes action, any enemy can be settled.
Even Song Tianming suddenly found the courage to shout at Shi Hao, “Shi Hao, you dared to provoke our Song Family, today you will be left with no place to bury!”
“Truly unrepentant!” Shi Hao shook his head and continued forward.
“How audacious!” Song Yuanliang roared and charged towards Shi Hao.
As he took each step forward, his hunched figure stretched out, towering half a head above the average man, but his body was still withered and thin.
“Die!” he unleashed a palm strike, with a fierce wind stirring, terribly unfathomable.
A high-level star martial technique, Southern Dipper Palm.
Shi Hao didn’t even turn his head, just swung a punch backward.
Boom!
Song Yuanliang was immediately sent flying, thud, and crashed to the ground. He struggled to his feet, swaying as if he could collapse at any moment.
My god, Song Yuanliang is no match for Shi Hao with just one move!
Now, with the Song Family’s Arrow Guard, Iron Guard, and two Primary Level martial masters all defeated by Shi Hao, it means that Shi Hao has toppled the entire Song Family with his own strength!
Although the Song Family still had hundreds of people, could their combat power be compared to the Arrow Guard, Iron Guard, and the two martial masters?
Such a fearsome youth!
Decisive in killing, like an Asura!
Song Tianming was trembling with fear again. With even the third elder no match for Shi Hao, who else could save him?
Tick, tick, tick, a liquid began to flow from the wheelchair, emitting a strong foul smell.
Song Tianming was so scared that he wet himself in public.
Thud, thud, thud, all of a sudden, a scramble of footsteps came from outside, followed by many people screaming. Then, squads of soldiers armed with Cloud-Piercing Crossbows stormed in.
The City Guard Army, finally arriving, albeit late.
However, better late than never, the people of the Song Family breathed a long sigh of relief at the sight.
Now, the stalemate could finally be resolved.
At worst, they would move out of Mengyang City in a few days to avoid Shi Hao’s edge.
——In Hua Yuan Nation, where martial prowess was revered, since Shi Hao exhibited such formidable strength, as long as he wasn’t rebellious, he would certainly be recruited by the officials and rise to prominence.
Shi Hao still not stopping?
What a joke, this time the City Guard Army has nearly fully mobilized, with more than eight hundred men. With so many Cloud-Piercing Crossbows firing at once, even an advanced martial master would have to avoid them, right?
Unless Shi Hao was insane, he wouldn’t be so headstrong.
Of course, the Song Family members actually welcomed Shi Hao being that headstrong, to get rid of the troublemaker with the hands of the City Guard Army.
“Stop right there!” City Guard Commander Luo Qi shouted. Though he was only an advanced martial disciple, with the City Guard Army under his command, even the heads of the Five Great Noble Families would have to address him as “Commander Luo”.
Thus, he was naturally full of arrogance.
Shi Hao turned to look at him and said indifferently, “Are you going to stop me?”
“Presumptuous!” Luo Qi bellowed, “A mere commoner, why do you not kneel upon seeing this commander?”
