Chapter 7414
The Lu Family Should Be Destroyed
Lu Wenhou's voice stopped abruptly, as if an invisible hand had gripped his throat.
He froze, the fawning on his face instantly turning into extreme shame and indignation, his lips twitching uncontrollably.
But would he dare to be angry?
dare not!
Let alone the fact that Master is on the verge of death right now, even if Master were at his peak, he wouldn't be able to withstand two moves from this old man!
"Yes...yes, yes, yes! Senior is right! This junior will leave right away, right away!" He nodded and bowed repeatedly, as respectful as a dog, then turned and staggered backward, each step trampling on his own dignity, but in his heart there was only despair.
Ji Yin didn't bother to look at him again. He turned around and came to Xiao Chen, bowed deeply, and said in an extremely respectful tone, "Your subordinate has not failed in his mission."
Xiao Chen glanced at him expressionlessly, uttering a single word through gritted teeth:
"Kneel down."
"hiss……!!!"
A chorus of gasps erupted from all around! Everyone's heart leaped into their throats, and their pupils contracted sharply!
Has Xiao Chen gone mad?!
How dare he speak to this terrifyingly powerful expert who crippled the Blood-Clad Man in two moves with such a commanding tone?!
If this old man gets angry, even ten Xiao Chens wouldn't be enough for him to crush with a single finger!
However, the next second, something happened that made everyone's eyes nearly pop out and their jaws drop...
Without the slightest hesitation, Ji Yin knelt heavily on the hard granite ground with a "thump," his forehead almost touching the ground, his body trembling slightly, but he dared not utter a single complaint.
"Do you know where you went wrong?" Xiao Chen's voice was icy cold, devoid of any warmth.
"Your subordinate... Your subordinate harbored a gloating heart and failed to act in time to protect you, instead attempting to stand by and watch, almost putting you in danger!" Ji Yin's voice was filled with guilt and fear.
He was originally the master of the Yin Island, and he was unwilling to be subordinate to others. When he saw Xiao Chen being suppressed by the man in blood, he subconsciously wanted to see Xiao Chen's trump card, but he did not expect that Xiao Chen would see through him at a glance.
"Slap yourself a hundred times," Xiao Chen said indifferently. "If it happens again, you won't be alive."
"Yes!"
Without hesitation, Ji Yin raised his hand and slapped himself hard across the face!
"Clap! Clap! Clap!..."
The crisp sound of slaps echoed through the deathly silent manor, each slap like a heavy hammer blow to everyone's heart!
At this moment, everyone present, including Jiang Xueren and Su Yu who were used to seeing all kinds of storms, felt their brains "buzz" and their bodies stiffen, almost petrified!
They finally realized... that the terrifying old man was not Xiao Chen's follower at all!
Instead... a servant!
A top expert who could cripple Venerable Zhongnan in two moves didn't even have the slightest courage to resist in front of Xiao Chen. He knelt down without hesitation and slapped himself without a word!
Just who exactly is Xiao Chen?!
Countless complex gazes were cast like spotlights toward the tall, aloof figure in the center of the arena. There was shock, awe, and fear, but not a trace of contempt!
Xiao Chen ignored the gazes of those around him and looked at Ji Yin's mouth. He strode forward, step by step, toward Lu Wenhou, whose face was ashen.
His footsteps were light, almost silent on the ground. Yet each step felt like a blow to Lu Wenhou's heart, like the approaching death knell, chilling him to the bone and making his soul tremble!
The crimson killing intent in Xiao Chen's eyes had not yet faded, and his body was surrounded by an extremely suppressed bloodthirsty aura, like a demon god who had just stepped out of an endless sea of blood, making people dare not look directly at him!
"You...you don't come any closer...don't come any closer!!"
Marquis Lü Wenhou completely collapsed! His psychological defenses crumbled inch by inch under Xiao Chen's relentless pressure! Without the Blood-Clad Man as his backer, the Lü family was less than an ant in front of Xiao Chen!
He retreated in fear, but tripped over a pebble and fell to the ground with a thud!
“I…I really dislike being threatened.” Xiao Chen’s voice was terrifyingly calm, yet more chilling than any roar. “Although your existence has never posed any threat to me.”
He stopped in front of Lu Wenhou, looking down at this once arrogant genius of the Lu family, his eyes devoid of any emotion, only cold indifference.
"But you still deserve to die."
"Yes, he must die."
The last few words, like an icicle forged from millennia-old ice, pierced deeply into the heart of Marquis Lü Wen!
Lü Wenhou was in tears, all traces of the arrogance of a young master of the Lü family gone. He crawled to Xiao Chen's feet, grabbing his trouser leg tightly, his voice hoarse as a broken gong:
"Mr. Xiao... Mr. Xiao! Spare me! Spare my life!! I swear! I, Lu Wenhou, swear to heaven! From this day forward, I will never dare to lay a finger on Miss Zhou again!"
"I will never dare to be your enemy again! I am willing to offer up all the assets of my Lü family! I only beg you to spare my dog's life!!"
"No need."
Xiao Chen coldly uttered three words, leaving no room for negotiation in his tone.
The next second, his right hand shot out like lightning, his five fingers gripping Lu Wenhou's neck tightly like an iron hoop!
"Uh... Hehe..."
Lu Wenhou's eyes bulged out, and his tongue involuntarily stuck out. The intense feeling of suffocation made him struggle frantically. His hands futilely grabbed Xiao Chen's fingers, but he couldn't muster any strength at all!
Xiao Chen's eyes were icy cold, and he exhaled a slight burst of energy from his fingertips!
"Crack!"
A crisp sound of bones breaking was particularly jarring in the deathly silent manor, clearly reaching everyone's ears!
Lu Wenhou froze instantly, the light in his eyes dimmed and disappeared, his head tilted weakly to one side, and he fell completely silent.
Xiao Chen released his grip, and Lü Wenhou's body slumped to the ground like mud, his eyes wide open, dying with unresolved grievances.
He slowly raised his head, his cold gaze sweeping over the pale, trembling core members of the Lü family in the distance, and then over the guests who were silent as cicadas in winter...
The sound wasn't loud, but it resounded throughout Qiyun Manor like thunder, carrying an undeniable sense of judgment:
"It's not just him."
"Tonight, the Lü family... shall be annihilated."
Xiao Chen showed no mercy to his enemies.
This is his ironclad rule for navigating the world.
If the Lü family is not eradicated today, they will surely become a major threat in the future, causing endless trouble!
Although with his strength, he had no fear of any counterattack from the Lü family, he had people he needed to protect... friends, relatives, and even those strangers who were trustworthy enough to entrust their lives to.
He cannot protect everyone under his wing at all times. Only by nipping danger in the bud can he prevent future troubles!
Lu Zhuo and several core experts of the Lu family witnessed Lu Wenhou's neck being snapped by Xiao Chen. He died with his eyes wide open, his face twisted to the extreme, veins bulging like dragons, and the killing intent in his eyes almost solidified!
This little bastard... how dare he kill Lu Zhuo's most valued and promising only son?!
Does he even know what he's doing?! (End of Chapter)
