C1119 Bodhisattva Heart
Xavier frowned. He first looked at the hostages held by Bayloc and the others as if he was thinking about something.
A moment later, Xavier nodded and stood behind Bayloc and the rest.
With Xavier's protection, Bayloc became more confident and shouted at Feng Yixiu, "Brat, what are you waiting for? Do you want me to kill someone before you kneel? "
Bayloc then signaled Enforcer No. 6 with his eyes. Enforcer No. 6 immediately understood what he meant. He raised the shining broadsword in his hand and was about to slash it towards the child.
"Wait!"
Feng Yixiu shouted for them to stop. His straight legs started to bend slowly, and his knees got closer and closer to the ground.
Although the whole process took only three seconds, it was longer than six hours in everyone's eyes.
They had seen countless people kowtowing to the 'King', but they had never seen a dignified Asura King kneel to an enemy for the lives of slaves and civilians.
Back then, Nether King seemed to have faced a similar choice. Facing his wife being held hostage, his choice was to fight alone, even at the cost of his life.
However, the threat the enemy posed to Feng Yixiu was only his slaves and some civilians. He could have ignored it, but he gave up his dignity in exchange for their lives.
To the ruler of a country, dignity was something that was sometimes more important than one's life!
When Great Clan Elder saw Feng Yixiu's legs gradually bending, he could not hold back his tears any longer and shouted, "My Lord … I'm sorry … "
When he thought about how he betrayed the king for the sake of his granddaughter's life, it was as if countless sharp swords pierced his heart. If he was given another chance to choose, he definitely would not do this again.
The two couples whose children had been inexplicably captured were witnessing how their king was willing to give up his dignity for their child. They could no longer hold back their sobs as they kneeled on the ground, terrified and restless.
The tens of thousands of spectators around the square all had a solemn expression. No one dared to look down on Feng Yixiu just because he knelt down. Instead, it was the image of the new king in their hearts that was infinitely elevated.
The moment Feng Yixiu's legs were about to touch the ground, Ofina finally couldn't take it anymore and forcefully pulled Feng Yixiu up, ignoring Hu Jiu'er's obstruction.
"Your Majesty … You are a dignified Asura King, how can you kneel to a petty person? The dignity of a King cannot be trampled upon like this! " Ofina said anxiously.
"Out of the way!" Feng Yixiu suddenly let out a strong spirit press and forcefully pushed Ofina away as he said coldly: "Dignity of a king? What qualifications does a king who cannot even protect his own people have to become a king? "
After saying that, Feng Yixiu's legs started to bend again, but this time, his speed was a lot faster.
In fact, his heart was suffering. It was not easy for him to make such a decision.
As a man, Feng Yixiu valued his dignity more than his life. If Bayloc wanted his life, his movements would not be so slow. However, the second time he knelt down, he had already made up his mind!
But at this moment, a scene that no one expected happened. A silver light flashed and a bloody line appeared on Bayloc's and the other two Wu steelers' necks.
Bayloc did not even have the chance to feel pain. He watched helplessly as he got closer and closer to the ground before finally landing heavily on it.
The only thing he saw before he lost consciousness was Xavier shaking the blood off his mechanical dragon spear with a disdainful look on her face, and then abruptly lifting her foot and stomping towards him.
Hu Jiu'er was the first to react. Before Feng Yixiu could kneel down, she helped him up.
Feng Yixiu looked at the three corpses that were gradually falling down and still couldn't figure out what happened. He only came back to his senses when he saw Xavier's stomp on Bayloc's head.
Xavier had actually killed Bayloc and the other two Enforcer members at the crucial moment.
Don't say that Feng Yixiu didn't think of such a thing. Even Bayloc probably hadn't expected this. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let Xavier stand behind them so easily.
Feng Yixiu rushed to hongzhuang and lvyi's side, using Sen Luo's Domain of Power to treat their wounds.
hongzhuang and lvyi's faces gradually turned red, and the blood-red mark on their necks also gradually faded away.
"Your Majesty … "Sorry, we shouldn't have come over to watch the show. We've troubled you …" hongzhuang said guiltily.2
"It's alright... I said that I would protect you all, but I did not do it well enough to scare you all. " Feng Yixiu said gently.
Under the support of his two granddaughters, Great Clan Elder tremblingly walked to Feng Yixiu and said with his head lowered, "Your Highness … Thank you for saving my granddaughter. If I ever do something that betrays you again, I will definitely be struck by lightning! "
Feng Yixiu waved his hand indifferently and said, "No need to be polite, Great Clan Elder . I know that you were coerced, so you don't have to blame yourself."
The parents of the two children also arrived in front of Feng Yixiu. They knelt in front of Feng Yixiu with respect and constantly expressed their gratitude.
Everyone in the Wu Steel Palace looked at Feng Yixiu with a glimmer in their eyes. It was a look of longing and awe.
Xavier felt the burning gazes from the surroundings and suddenly asked, "Feng Yixiu, is what you said before true?"
"What do you mean?" Feng Yixiu was a bit confused.
"You didn't mean if I wanted to. Is Asura King's door always open to me? " Xavier finally broke into a smile. Xavier's face was also slightly flushed.
Feng Yixiu smiled, and then revealed a puzzled expression: "Did I say that? "Why can't I remember …"
Hearing that, Xavier's face darkened. He immediately turned around and was about to leave, but he was stopped by Feng Yixiu: "I was just joking with you. Do you have to be so excited? Of course what I say counts! "
Xavier slowly turned around and knelt on the ground like a bolt of lightning. She lowered her head and said respectfully, "I pay my respects to Your Highness Asura King!"
Under the lead of the eight Nether General s, the rest of the Nether General s also stood behind Xavier and knelt on the ground without hesitation.
All the elders and hall elders led by Great Clan Elder kneeled down one by one. All Enforcer also knelt down along with them.
The tens of thousands of people in Asura King Palace also kneeled down like a wave. Their eyes were filled with reverence and respect.
Everyone shouted out in unison, "We pay their respects to Your Highness Asura King. If the crowning ceremony before was due to authority and helplessness, then this time, they would have truly submitted to him!
Although Feng Yixiu did not have a gorgeous crown on his head and his clothes had become tattered during the battle, in their eyes, he carried an unparalleled royal prestige!
In the entire arena, there were only two people who did not kneel. One was a Thousand Apparition Sea Monster, and the other was Hu Jiu'er.
The Thousand Apparition Sea Monster looked at the worshipping scene in front of him and asked doubtfully: "Not long ago, these people were disdainful of Feng Yixiu as the king, why has their attitude changed so much now?"
Hu Jiu'er had been looking at Feng Yixiu's back the whole time, and said with a burning gaze, "He has the heart of a Bodhisattva, this is the true way of kings!"
