Ye Xuan’s voice was cold and ruthless.
He glanced at the corpses in the courtyard, his eyes filled with astonishing killing intent!
These were his family members, yet they had been brutally murdered by the Fang family, not even leaving behind intact corpses.
If his younger sister hadn’t suddenly crushed the jade pendant, alerting him that something was wrong so he could rush back with all his might…
If he had been even a little slower on the road, his sister’s limbs would have been torn off, and she would have been defiled.
These beasts had to die!
Not even the gods themselves could save them now!
“Good, good, the Ye family is saved!” A smile finally appeared on Ye Zeyun’s lips.
He knew Ye Xuan had left the Ye family to bring reinforcements.
Now that Ye Xuan was back, it meant the reinforcements were here too.
At this moment, the heavy burden was finally lifted from his heart.
Perhaps, their Ye family truly could become the new overlord of Hongtu Town.
“Who…
who are you?!”
“Impossible!”
In stark contrast to Ye Zeyun’s pleasant surprise, the Fang family members were thoroughly terrified.
None of them had expected the Third Elder to actually have his hands severed.
Since the severed hands on the ground didn’t belong to Fang Ling’Er, they naturally belonged to the Third Elder.
Just moments ago, in the nick of time, Ye Xuan had used his spiritual qi as a sword to slice off the Third Elder’s hands.
But how could this be possible?!
The Third Elder was at the 7th Layer of the Strong Spirit Realm!
Even if the beast soul he awakened was of a slightly lower tier, he was still an expert!
Opposite them, Ye Xuan offered no explanation.
He merely uttered a single, apathetic word.
“Die.”
Without wasting any breath, Ye Xuan reached out and grabbed at the Third Elder before him.
Though the Third Elder had lost both his hands, he was not someone who would just wait around to be slaughtered.
With a cold shout, his entire body erupted with dazzling spiritual qi.
The spiritual qi surged into the sky, forming a massive bird above his head.
This was the Black Spirit Bird, a low-tier wild beast soul.
However, it was completely useless!
As the Heaven-Defying Battle Intent Technique circulated, Ye Xuan’s body radiated golden light, and a giant golden hand descended from the heavens.
The Third Elder’s beast soul was instantly crushed by the golden hand!
Following that, Ye Xuan’s hand clamped down on the Third Elder’s head.
There was no sympathy, no hesitation, and not even a harsh word.
There was only a resounding BAM.
The head shattered, sending brain matter flying in all directions.
The Third Elder was dead.
His head had been directly popped like a balloon by Ye Xuan!
The sight was intensely shocking.
Killing the Third Elder didn’t stall Ye Xuan’s momentum.
Bathed entirely in golden light, he resembled a Golden Armor War God as he charged toward the Fifth Elder next.
In this courtyard, only the few elders possessed formidable cultivation bases.
In any battle, one naturally had to cull the strongest first.
“Ye Xuan!
So your cultivation is actually this strong.
Does that mean you were the one who killed the Eighth Elder and Fang Shaohan?” At this moment, the Fifth Elder finally had a sudden epiphany, waking up to reality!
Ye Xuan said nonchalantly, “Congratulations, you guessed right.
Your reward is death.”
As his words fell, Ye Xuan’s fist blasted toward the Fifth Elder’s head.
The Fifth Elder didn’t dare to be careless; his expression was even laced with panic.
His strength was inferior to the Third Elder’s, so how could he possibly be a match for Ye Xuan?
He originally thought he was here to vent his anger, but he never expected to be marching to his own death.
If he had known earlier, he would have insisted the Patriarch come along!
He couldn’t die here.
He had to go back and deliver the news!
PFFT!
A mouthful of blood suddenly sprayed from the Fifth Elder’s mouth.
His speed was instantly boosted.
However, he didn’t choose to fight Ye Xuan.
Instead, he turned tail and ran.
His figure kicked up a gust of wind, vanishing from the courtyard in a single breath.
This scene completely dumbfounded the surrounding Fang family members.
“I’m not seeing things, am I?
Did the Fifth Elder…
just run away?”
“Don’t panic!
We still have the Seventh Elder here…”
Before the Fang family members could even finish their sentence, the Seventh Elder in the middle of the crowd also turned and fled.
His legs emitted a brilliant glow of spiritual qi, clearly having gathered all his power into them to maximize his escape speed.
But just as the Seventh Elder reached the doorway, Ye Xuan’s body suddenly materialized before him.
The Fifth Elder had managed to escape earlier because Ye Xuan simply hadn’t anticipated him fleeing without the slightest warning.
Now that he was prepared, how could he possibly let the Seventh Elder get away?
He reached out and grabbed the Seventh Elder directly by the throat.
No matter how the Seventh Elder struggled, it was utterly futile.
His cultivation was an entire layer weaker than the Fifth Elder’s.
Facing Ye Xuan, he naturally lacked the strength to resist.
“If you know what’s good for you, release me right now!
Otherwise, our Fang family will never let you off!” Despite being captured, the Seventh Elder still dared to threaten him.
Ye Xuan didn’t even bother replying.
He simply squeezed!
CRACK!
CRUNCH!
Blood sprayed.
The Seventh Elder’s neck was entirely crushed by Ye Xuan, causing his head to roll off his shoulders like a bouncing ball.
The Seventh Elder was dead.
Having killed the Seventh Elder, Ye Xuan secured the courtyard doors and swept his gaze over the remaining Fang family members gathered in the center.
Wherever his eyes lingered, no one dared to meet his gaze.
It felt as if the being standing before them wasn’t a man, but an almighty, exalted deity.
“The ‘noble’ Fang family is nothing more than this,” Ye Xuan spoke indifferently, a cold sneer tugging at the corners of his mouth.
The next moment, golden light blossomed, enveloping the entire courtyard.
Every single Fang family member fell to their knees.
Ye Xuan’s sheer pressure was something they couldn’t possibly withstand.
However, Ye Xuan did not deal the killing blow to them.
Instead, he turned to look at his own clansmen.
“They treated you like dogs, casually humiliating and even killing you.
Do you not hold resentment in your hearts?
If you do, I will give you the chance to exact your own revenge.
Now, pick up your weapons and chop off their heads!
Release all the grievances you’ve harbored over these years.
Kill…
Kill…
KILL!”
Ye Xuan repeated the word ‘kill’ three times, each one more impassioned than the last.
Although his tone sounded aloof, his killing intent and raw emotion were steadily erupting.
As the final ‘kill’ echoed out, a young man was the first to step forward.
“I’ll do it!”
This young man was Ye Xuan’s older cousin, Ye Shanhan.
Gripping a longsword, he marched toward a Fang family member.
Though a hint of fear remained in his eyes, it was vastly overshadowed by anger and madness.
“Fang Daji!
You were the one who stole my woman!
Yin Hong and I truly loved each other, yet you used your status as a Fang family member to take her away!
Now, die for me!”
SLICE!
With a soft sound, a single sword thrust pierced his heart.
But one thrust was clearly not enough.
SLICE!
SLICE!
SLICE!
SLICE!
SLICE!
The sword in Ye Shanhan’s hand danced, stabbing Fang Daji’s body into a bloody honeycomb.
His actions set the blood of the younger generation boiling.
For years, they had been enslaved by the Fang family, forced to live like dogs.
But they were human!
And as humans, they had their dignity.
“I’ll do it!”
“Me too!”
Weapons in hand, the youths of the Ye family marched toward the Fang family members one after another.
At this moment, they held their heads high and puffed out their chests.
The surrounding air felt more refreshing than ever before.
“Fang He!
When we were kids, you constantly bullied me and even forced me to drink your piss.
I still remember that humiliation to this day!
Now, I’m paying it back tenfold!”
“Fang Xiang, you said that whenever I saw you, I had to kneel.
But now, this granddaddy is done kneeling!
Go to hell!”
The younger generation went completely mad with slaughter.
Blood flowed across the entire floor.
The courtyard was filled with agonizing screams.
This was the world of cultivators.
The strong preyed on the weak.
