Chapter 7415
Ferocious reputation
This is an irreconcilable blood feud! It's a hatred so intense that the Lü family would give anything to reduce him to ashes!
"You beast! How dare you kill my son! I will make you pay with your blood!!"
Lu Zhuo's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like a madman! He stared intently at Xiao Chen, actually believing that he had seen through the "truth"... This kid must have suffered serious damage to his true energy from the series of battles, and his aura has not yet recovered!
Without any further hesitation, he grabbed the hundred-refined longsword that the guard had dropped, slammed his toes into the ground, and pounced through the air like an enraged eagle!
The blade flashed coldly like lightning, carrying boundless hatred and a resolute killing intent to perish together, aimed straight at Xiao Chen's head!
Seeing this, Ji Yin moved slightly, about to make a move, but was stopped by Xiao Chen raising his hand, his tone indifferent:
"I will personally kill the members of the Lü family. You protect Miss Zhou and the others, and don't let any outsiders disturb my peace."
Dealing with someone like Lü Zhuo... for him, it's no more difficult than crushing an ant.
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Chen swayed slightly, leaving only a blurry afterimage in his original position, and then he leaped out like a cheetah, the strong wind he brought making the ground gravel rustle!
In the blink of an eye, he had already closed in on Lü Zhuo!
Lu Zhuo's eyes were bloodshot with rage. With a roar, he swept his long sword out horizontally with a frenzied, all-consuming momentum. The blade sliced through the air, drawing a tragic silver arc, aimed straight at Xiao Chen's neck!
"Die, you old man...!!"
He wanted to personally cut off the head of this beast to pay tribute to his tragically deceased son!
Lu Zhuoneng has been in charge of the Lu family for decades, firmly holding the position of the head of a top family in the western region. His strength is far superior to that of Lu Wenhou... He is a genuine high-level expert of the Celestial Realm, and his cultivation has long since reached the highest level!
However, even with this level of strength, he was still far inferior to Xiao Chen!
With a flick of his wrist, Xiao Chen drew the Reverse Scale Sword and slashed it upwards at the chilling blade light!
This sword can evolve through bloodlust, absorbing the essence and blood of powerful beings to temper its blade.
Even though Xiao Chen didn't need to rely on this sword at all, he was happy to let it get stained with some blood and accumulate some "experience".
"You want to fight me with a knife? You... you're far from ready!"
As the cold words fell, the sword light suddenly surged!
A massive sword shadow, condensed as black as ink yet faintly radiating a chilling golden light, burst forth from the tip of the Reverse Scale Sword, growing to a length of over ten feet against the wind.
Like a dark dragon that had been lying dormant for a long time, baring its fangs and claws, carrying a terrifying aura of destruction, it fiercely crashed into Lü Zhuo's blade!
Wherever the sword passed, the air let out a shriek of unbearable pressure, the surrounding temperature plummeted, and even the light seemed to be swallowed up. A suffocating pressure instantly enveloped the entire area!
Feeling that chilling power that penetrated straight to the soul, the madness on Lü Zhuo's face was instantly replaced by boundless terror!
His pupils suddenly shrank to the size of pinpoints, and his heart stopped!
This kid's strength... how could he be this strong?!
Shouldn't he be exhausted of his true energy and his aura unstable?! How could he still unleash such a world-shaking sword strike?!
Unwilling! Unbelievable!
Lu Zhuo roared and poured all his life's power into the blade. The longsword hummed and trembled, bursting out with a blinding cold light as he tried to block with all his might!
However, the power of the Reverse Scale Sword is not something that ordinary iron can withstand!
"Clang... Crack!!"
Amidst the ear-piercing clang of metal clashing, a teeth-grinding cracking sound rang out! The finely forged steel longsword in Lü Zhuo's hand, capable of severing a hair with a single blow, shattered like rotten wood, its broken blades scattering everywhere! The devastatingly sharp sword energy, still undiminished, crashed fiercely against his protective aura like a raging torrent!
"puff……!"
As if struck by a massive hammer, Lü Zhuo coughed up a mouthful of blood and flew backward like a broken sack, crashing heavily to the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust!
"Patriarch!!"
Upon seeing this, the other top experts of the Lü family were filled with rage. They no longer cared about the rules of the martial world or the dignity of ganging up on the weak. They roared and rushed towards Xiao Chen from all directions!
In an instant, the wind howled with fists, palm shadows were as thick as mountains, blade light was sharp, and sword energy crisscrossed! Countless killing moves intertwined to form an impenetrable net of death, fiercely enveloping the proud figure in the arena!
Xiao Chen's expression remained unchanged, his eyes filled only with a chilling killing intent.
These people might be considered experts in the western region, capable of shaking an entire area with a stomp of their feet, but in Xiao Chen's eyes... they're nothing but chickens and dogs!
At this moment, he seemed to have transformed into a precise and efficient killing machine, advancing instead of retreating, and charging straight into the crowd!
Sword light flashed and clashed, and blood blossoms bloomed wildly!
There are no fancy or complicated moves, only the simplest, most direct, and most deadly chopping, thrusting, slashing, and cutting!
With every sword strike, someone falls! A spurt of blood gushes from their throat, a gruesome hole is pierced through their chest, or their limbs are severed, and they writhe on the ground screaming in agony!
Blood and flesh flew everywhere, and cries of agony filled the air!
In the blink of an eye, none of the top experts from the Lü family who rushed forward were able to stand! They were all turned into mutilated corpses scattered on the ground, or lay in pools of blood, their bodies groaning in agony as they lay dying!
With each kill, Xiao Chen could clearly feel the Reverse Scale Sword in his hand tremble slightly, a faint warmth flowing through its blade, and its sharpness seemed to have improved even further.
Although he didn't know how far the sword would grow in the future, this visible transformation gave him a bit more hope.
Inside Qiyun Manor, this scene, which resembled a hellish inferno, deeply shocked all the guests present!
Some people have only heard of the infamous name of "Devil" Xiao Chen, but they never expected that his methods would be so ruthless and decisive! He would wipe out an entire family without hesitation, leaving no room for leniency!
The martial arts world is brutal, and the extermination of entire families is not uncommon, but to carry it out in such a ruthless and swift manner in front of a large audience is still too shocking!
Everyone, including the heads of those aristocratic families who prided themselves on being hard-hearted and used to life and death, couldn't help but tremble with fear and feel their hands and feet go cold. The only thing left in their eyes when they looked at Xiao Chen was deep-seated awe and fear!
This naturally includes Jiang Xueren and Su Yu, who are hidden in the crowd.
Su Yu's beautiful eyes widened, filled with shock and horror. From that rainy night when she broke into Xiao Chen's villa injured, she felt that this man was shrouded in a mysterious mist.
Only then did she realize with horror that it was not a fog... but a bottomless black hole that seemed capable of swallowing all light! There was no way to see what terrifying secrets were hidden inside!
Su Yu once thought that Xiao Chen's warning, "If the Blood Demon Society dares to reach out again, I will slaughter them," was just the arrogant words of a young man.
Now it seems... that was no exaggeration or intimidation.
He truly has the qualifications, the ability, and... a chilling ruthlessness!
Jiang Xueren's eyes were equally heavy. As the leader of the Blood Demon Society's western branch, he was most sensitive to the aura of killing and death. (End of Chapter)
