om."You...get out of here!" Qin Ming picked up a damp towel and wiped his mouth before roaring angrily."Rest assured, we're leaving right now. Do you think I want to be here I don't want to see any of...[ ]

Boom!

A deafening roar echoed through the air, shattering the heavens. The shockwave sent trees flying in all directions, reduced to splinters and dust. Sand and stones danced across the landscape.

Pffft!

At the same time, the old man spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood, and his whole body flew backwards like a kite with a broken string.

With a powerful thrust, it flew out over a hundred meters before crashing into the ground with a deafening boom. It created a massive crater and its entire body was shattered to pieces, every bone broken and every meridian severed.

"The Warlord" struggled to raise his head and uttered a few words before slumping back with no sign of life.

"Why Why did you have to assassinate Ling Shuai" Not far away, Xue Biqian slumped to the ground, her face etched with utter despair.

In a short while, Ling Hao arrived before her.

"I'm so sorry, I'm truly sorry. I didn't know the sect members were going to target you," Xue Biqian said with tears in her eyes, kneeling before Ling Hao.

"This has nothing to do with my father, please spare his life, I'm willing to do anything for you."

"Get up!" Ling Hao said lightly, then turned and walked toward the garden gate.

"Please... please spare my father," Xue Biqian kowtowed several times towards Ling Hao's back before tremblingly getting up and following after him.

Deep in my heart, I pray that my father had nothing to do with this. If he did, no one could save him.

One minute later, Ling Hao arrived at the manor square.

Here the battle has also ended, the opponent's people under Xuan Pang and Judge's joint attack have all fallen down, including warriors of the War God realm. The square is littered with limbs and cries of pain.

Xue Zhongkun was covered in wounds, slumped on the ground, with several other elderly men who were also badly injured standing guard around him.

All the other guests who had come to the party had already left ten minutes ago, having all departed from the estate.

"Big brother!"

"Young Master Ling!"

The four judges looked at Ling Hao and greeted him.

"Mm!" Ling Hao nodded slightly.

Then Shen Le briefly recounted what he had learned.

"Hmm" After hearing Shen Le's words, Ling Hao was slightly surprised. He paused for a moment and said, "Where is Xue Zhongrui"

"In the villa!" Shen Le finished and looked at Tang Lin: "Mr. Lin, go get him out!"

"Good!" Tang Lin nodded and walked towards the villa.

In a moment, Xue Zhongrui walked out with Tang Lin's support.

"Xue Zhongkun, you really are a menace!" Seeing the scene unfolding in the square, Xue Zhongrui roared to the heavens.

Poof!

Qi and blood attacked the heart, coupled with the spread of toxins, Zhang opened his mouth and spat out a large mouthful of dark red blood.

Then, he slumped down just as suddenly, as if aging several decades in an instant.

"Dad!" Xue Biqian arrived at the square and cried out in grief, running towards her father.

"Tell me the whole story, or you'll be left as a corpse!" Ling Hao strode towards Xue Zhongkun.

"Hmph, you think you've won" Xue Zhongkun looked at Ling Hao and sneered.

"Seeing you like this, haven't given up" Ling Hao said faintly.

"What do you say!" Xue Zhongkun's eyes suddenly lit up, and he shouted towards the front: "Don't you make a move yet, what are you waiting for!"

Whew! Whew! Whew!

Before his words could even fade, a wave of dark figures flew in from outside the manor walls. There were over a hundred of them, crashing to the ground one after another, lifeless and still.

A sea of foreign mercenaries, many with assault rifles in hand.

"What!"

Upon seeing these people, Xue Zhongkun roared in alarm, his face full of astonishment.

"Your Xue clan is truly despicable. Not only did you collude with sects to assassinate a national pillar, but you also conspired with foreign forces. You deserve to be exterminated!"

A man's voice sounded outside the manor.

Not long after, Lu Yue and Qinglong led a thousand Blood Shadow Warriors into the room.

"Greetings, Commander!" As they approached Ling Hao, everyone knelt on one knee and shouted in unison.

"Speak up!" Ling Hao raised his hand.

Even before the news reached him in the morning that the Xue family was inviting Shen Yue to a banquet, he had a vague suspicion that this grand feast today was likely not ordinary.

The events of the Chu clan's downfall would have reached Jianghai, and if the Xue clan were to make a move, they would have certainly made all the necessary preparations.

Originally, he was capable of deploying the Shadow Gate himself, but to prevent unnecessary casualties, after some thought, he still called Lu Yue and asked him to bring a contingent of Bloodshadow Warriors to Jiang Hai.

"Thanks, Commander!" the crowd shouted before rising to their feet.

"Brother!" Lu Yue and Qinglong came to Ling Hao's side.

"Mmm!" Ling Hao looked at the two people and smiled faintly.

"Brother, all these people are from the Xiyun Chamber of Commerce!" Lu Yue pointed at the foreign martial artists on the ground.

A few days ago, when the Yingmen went to suppress bandits, they received advance notice from the Xue family through informants. They all hid in the suburbs of Jianghai. Today, they are preparing to cooperate with the Xue family inside and out.

"Xiyun Merchant Guild! Very good!" Ling Hao's eyes flashed a hint of ferocity.

After he finished speaking, he took out his phone and sent a message to Baihu who was miles away.

Find the power of Xifeng Country in the Shadow Realm, and kill them!

After putting away his phone, he looked back at Xue Zhongkun and said, “Now, can we talk”

Phew!

Xue Zhongkun let out a long, heavy sigh, his whole body drained of energy. He looked like a fallen overlord.

"To the victor belongs the spoils. There's nothing more to say. Kill or mutilate as you please!"

"As you wish!" Ling Hao responded in a deep voice.

Whew!

Before his words even left his lips, Ling Hao snatched the Blood Shadow War Blade from Lu Yue's hand. With a flick of his wrist, a cold light flashed across Xue Zhongkun's neck.

Pfft!

The next moment, a skull shot up into the sky, blood spurting like a column.

He didn't actually need to ask. Today's events were definitely the result of collusion between several prominent families in the capital and the Xue family, who then got their sect involved.

In recent times, the Chu clan was destroyed. The other prominent clans certainly felt the pressure and tried every means to eliminate him as soon as possible.

To him, those gates were going to be leveled sooner or later, so whether Xue Zhongkun said it or not didn't really matter.

Even if Xue Zhongkun were willing to speak, he could only confess to a few people at most, which would be meaningless.

Those few gates, one could completely say that this was their personal behavior, unrelated to the gate itself. Then, releasing the people would be the end of it all.

Plop!

At this time, Xue Biqian stood up and came before him, once again kneeling down to Ling Hao, choking out her words.

"Lingling, I know the Xue family has committed a grave crime this time, deserving of annihilation. However, everything that happened was done by my second uncle and the sect."

"My father has never been involved in this from the beginning to the end, please spare my father and let go of the other innocent people in the Xue family."

"I, I am willing to exchange my humble life for theirs. Please, Lord Ling, grant this request."

After finishing his words, he drew out the hairpin from his head and, without the slightest hesitation, plunged it into his own heart.

"Qian'er, no!" Xue Zhongrui cried out in pain. left.Yikes!Seeing this scene, both the shark and the punk were startled, their eyes filled with boundless horror.Qi burst forth, killing without a trace!At least a powerful warrior of the later stage...
