Chapter 374: Qi, Undefeated
Xiao Zhengyang was angry because those were his fighters, and this was his city.
The sura elder was angry because those were his livestock, and this was his farm.
The sura king was angry because those were his concubines!
If not for the sura elder\'s advising against it, the sura king would surely have turned Qi into a human farm for rearing concubines. The sura king excitedly dreamt of roaming through the city, claiming whatever human he chanced across.
Of course, the only reason the sura elder was able to restrain the sura king was because he already had quite a number of concubines at his disposal; otherwise, if he were dead set on it, no one would be able to change his mind.
The sura themselves were quite angry that other races had dared invade Qi, taking advantage of their own presence here. Qi was their hunting ground, and the other races were prohibited from it! However, on account of the elder\'s human-rearing plans, they had no choice but to temporarily back down despite their anger.
The sura elder emphasized, "Cooperating with us sura will guarantee the safety of you humans. What do you think you can accomplish by fighting to the last? You\'ll have nothing but a pile of rubble and a city of bones! Is your pride really worth that much?"
The sura fighters cheered the elder, shouting, "The weak will be bullied, the weak won\'t be able to fend for themselves! If you want to live, let go of your pride!"
The elder cleared his throat and continued, "Is it really worth continuing to fight? Is what lies behind you worth protecting with your very lives? Why not choose a better solution?"
Some of the hunters within Qi began to ponder the elder\'s questions seriously. Could they truly win?
The elder\'s voice reached a crescendo. "No, you have no hope of victory at all! Only if you kneel and beg us for mercy will you have a chance to live!"
The sura fighters added, "Humans have never been able to defeat the sura, and they never will!"
"If you keep fighting, everyone in Qi will die. On the other hand, if you surrender, most of you will be able to continue living. Choose wisely!"
Some hunters in Qi slowly dropped the weapons in their hands, but as they did so, an arrow in the ?sky shone above the entire battlefield, whizzing toward the sura elder like a brilliant comet.
The sura elder spread his palms and summoned a wall of blood in front of him, which stopped the arrow in its tracks.
"Do you all want to die?!" Xiao Zhengyang shouted. "Hold your weapons firmly in your hand! If you let go of your pride now, the human race will never be able to prosper!"
Xiao Zhengyang knew that, as the governor, he would have to take action before the sura elder could reduce the fighters\' morale even further and force mass desertion of his troops.
"Qi will not become a farm for the sura. Even if we all fall, this will remain a city of humans—this I promise you!"
The sura elder sighed. "As the governor, shouldn\'t you be more logical? Submitting to the sura is the only chance you humans have at surviving."
Xiao Zhengyang snorted. "Submitting and allowing ourselves to be reared as livestock? I\'d rather die."
The sura elder shook his head. "An illogical choice. You are hardly suited to be a governor."
"As a sura, your criticism holds no weight." The fluctuations in Xiao Zhengyang\'s genetic energy grew stronger. He glowed like a sun, one whose rays struck the entire battlefield. Glancing at him and feeling the warm rays of light hit their faces, the human hunters\' morale rose dramatically, and they faced the sura with renewed determination. Xiao Zhengyang shouted, "We will not submit! Qi will not fall!"
The fighters picked up the chant. "We will not submit! Qi will not fall!"
"We will not submit! Qi will not fall!"
The chant quickly spread all around the city.
"We will not submit! Qi will not fall!"
"We will not submit! Qi will not fall!"
"We will not submit! Qi will not fall!"
Along the other three fronts, blood pooled on the ground outside the city walls, with human and alien corpses alike strewn all over. With their numerical disadvantage, the humans were on the losing end on all fronts, but no one tried to turn and flee. These hunters might have engaged in internal strife now and then, but when push came to shove, they united and worked together to fend off a mutual foe.
When Zhou Ming heard the voices coming from the other side of the city, he turned around, noticed the radiance in the air, and understood that the governor had made his move. As he slaughtered the alien fighter in front of him, he shouted, "The governor will shield us! Qi will not fall!"
His team members echoed, "The governor will shield us! Qi will not fall!"
Morale quickly rose among the fighters in the field.
"The governor will shield us! Qi will not fall!"
"The governor will shield us! Qi will not fall!"
"The governor will shield us! Qi will not fall!"
The fighters fought bravely with the last dregs of their stamina. They were unable to turn the tide with their last hurrah, but their defensive lines didn\'t crumble, either.
Among the other fronts, the same chant could be heard echoing into the air: "The governor will shield us! Qi will not fall!"
These words emboldened the fighters all over Qi.
"It looks like I\'ll have to kill you before these humans from Qi learn to kneel." The sura elder frowned.
"Come at me, then!" Xiao Zhengyang\'s light glowed even more brightly as his punches rained down toward the sura elder, who defended himself again with his wall of blood.
However, the scorching fists melted the blood and broke through the elder\'s defenses, causing the sura fighters\' eyes to widen in amazement. Who would have expected that a human could grow so strong?
The sura elder waved an arm, transforming the shreds of the bloody wall into venomous snakes that shot toward Xiao Zhengyang from all directions, blocking off his escape routes.
