Chapter Fifty-Seven: Instantly Killing Everyone

  As expected, Li Donggui flashed a barely perceptible pleading gaze, clearly hoping that Xia Chen could cooperate.

  He knew it was unrealistic, even if the real Zhengxuan sect disciples came, the Yang family would not retreat, but the Zhengxuan sect was the last straw to save his life, and he had to grasp it firmly, even out of instinct.

  Xia Chen understood his intention, smiled faintly and said: "Don't worry, your Li family has been serving Zhengxuan Sect for many years. Now that you're in trouble, I will definitely lend a hand to help. If anyone dares to move against you, I'll make them die without a place to be buried."

  Li Dongkui felt grateful and guilty at the same time, thinking that he had dragged his brother into the war between the Li and Yang families for no reason, which would put him in harm's way. However, looking at his strength, it seemed quite strong, and at least he should be able to escape safely.

  "Are you a disciple of the Zhengxuan Sect?" Yang Zhen looked at Xia Chen and asked word by word.

  "What? Is there a problem?" Xia Chen said calmly.

  Yang Zhen's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, and he shouted: "What kind of fake disciple are you? The Zhengxuan Sect is a renowned sect, how could it be in this remote small city? You're clearly an imposter. Take him away and kill him."

  "Let me come!" a sturdy man immediately responded.

  He came up with a ferocious and sinister look, clenching his fists, and sneered: "You little brat, you deceived my family's old master, I will dig out your heart in public and make you die miserably."

  Bang!

  No sooner had he finished speaking than a fierce and powerful fist landed heavily on his chest, followed by the sound of his entire skeleton shattering.

  The burly man let out a loud cry, stumbled backward, and slowly lowered his head to look at his chest which had completely caved in. A look of extreme shock flashed across his face before he fell backwards onto the ground.

  "Is there anyone else who wants to dig into my heart? Come out." Xia Chen said calmly.

  The entire audience was silent, and everyone stared at Xia Chen with eyes that were shocked beyond measure. This young man seemed ordinary, but he was actually so strong!

  Many people even shuddered, this strong man's cultivation was not bad, and he was about to break through the second heaven of Houtian, but he was killed by Xia Chen in seconds. How strong would that young man be?

  Yang Zhen's face changed drastically, and he roared in anger: "You little beast, you dare to kill my people! Everyone, get him together and chop him into pieces!"

  A dozen or so guests at the Yang family door suddenly drew out their sharp blades and rushed forward, shouting wildly: "Everyone come together, he can't withstand it."

  Xia Chen suddenly drew a short sword from the storage space and stabbed it into the throat of one of the gate guests. Then, the sword edge directly cut horizontally, tearing apart the guest's neck, and then drew out a semicircular cold light, cutting off the necks of three gate guests who had just approached him.

  "Kill him!" The two door guests shouted and jumped up, their paired hands gripping a large knife that fell heavily.

  Xia Chen didn't even lift his head, the short sword rose, and directly held up the two people's full-force chopping knife. As soon as they fell, there were two swooshing sounds, and he stabbed through the throats of the two men again.

  In the blink of an eye, he killed six people in a row, and all were fatal blows. The opponent didn't even have room to dodge.

  Pffft! Pffft! Pffft!

  The scene was filled with the continuous dull thud of blades entering flesh, but there wasn't a single scream. Everyone either had their throat cut or was stabbed in the trachea, unable to make a sound, and fell to the ground.

  This dumb and tragic slaughter scene shocks everyone's heart endlessly.

  Xia Chen showed no mercy, he was not fond of slaughter, nor did he enjoy cruelty, but if he didn't use ruthless means, he couldn't subdue his opponents.

  Bang! The last guest at the door stared wide-eyed, clutched his throat with both hands, and fell to the ground in agony.

  Xia Chen bent down, tore off a piece of cloth from his body, wiped the blood on the short sword, and said lightly: "Is there anyone else who doesn't believe I'm a disciple of Zhengxuan Sect? Come again!"

  Everyone looked at him with fear and awe, no one dared to treat him as an ordinary young man anymore. At this moment, Xia Chen was no different from the God of Murder.

  Li Dongkui's expression was dull, he could see that Xia Chen was not simple, but he didn't expect that Xia Chen would be so complicated!

  Even the old man in the back of the crowd, who was indifferent to everything, couldn't help but raise his head and gaze at Xia Chen with a cold, murderous glint in his eyes.

  Yang's heart was as if it had been fiercely grasped, stirring up a terrifying and overwhelming wave.

  Even if he had the same level of cultivation as the dozen or so guests, it would still be impossible for him to instantly kill them all like Xia Chen did with his chopping and slicing.

  This can only represent one fact, that Xia Chen's cultivation has surpassed his own, and it's not just by a small margin! How is this possible? Is he really a disciple of the Zhengxuan Sect? Today, after finally pushing the Li family to the brink of despair, should they give up just because of this mysterious young man? No, no way!

  Yang Zhen was silently roaring in her heart, her teeth chattering with rage.

  He suddenly turned his head, looking at the frail old man, his eyes filled with a pleading expression, but the old man's face was expressionless, and he only cast his gaze towards Qin Chuan, slightly nodding.

  Yang Zhen immediately understood, turned his head, and his face suddenly became ferocious: "Qin Chuan, now is the time for your Qin family to show loyalty. You all come together and get rid of this little beast."

  Qin Chuan was taken aback, and then he became extremely angry. Seeing how formidable Xia Chen was, even if he himself took action, he might not be a match for him. If the whole family joined in, wouldn't that lead to heavy casualties? Yang Zhen's move was clearly a case of borrowing a knife to kill someone!

  But thinking of the consequences... reminded of the terrifying expert in Yang's house, Qin Chuan's face suddenly twisted.

  Yang Zhen saw that he didn't move, his eyes turned cold, and he said sternly: "How dare you disobey me, Qin Chuan! Do you want your Qin family to be exterminated?"

  Qin Chuan was struggling inwardly, but in the end, he still prioritized the threat to the Yang family. He let out a faint sigh and said: "Master Yang, this Xia Chenxiu is very powerful, I don't have the confidence to deal with him alone. Can we ask Master Yu for assistance? If our two families work together, we will definitely chop him into minced meat!"

  Yu Yongcheng's face changed drastically, and he cursed in his heart: Old Qin, you want to drag my family down with you, what a loss for both of us!

  Yang Zhen was exactly what he wanted, he had never thought of staying with the Yu and Qin families, and had long planned to destroy the two families after taking over the Li family. This move could kill Xia Chen and consume the strength of the two families, achieving two goals at once.

  He nodded and said: "Lao Yu, this little beast is indeed very fierce. You and Qin Chuan go together, be more careful."

  Yu Yongcheng cursed in his heart, but as a person under the eaves, he could only respond: "Alright, I will join forces with Master Qin to capture and kill this son."

  The two exchanged a resentful glance and each led their respective guests away.

  Xia Chen's expressionless face gazed at them as he spoke, "Two family heads, do you plan to aid the wicked and bully, wanting to provoke the dignity of my Zhengxuan Sect?"

  Yu Yongcheng sneered, "Zhengxuan Sect? You're just a mere beast in tiger's skin! You helped the Xia family today and killed so many of our people. I, along with the master of the Qin family, will definitely tear you to pieces!"

  "Then you can prepare to die!" Xia Chen said solemnly: "Those who offend the Zhengyuan Sect will be punished no matter how far away they are!"

  Yu Yongcheng and Qin Chuan locked eyes again, shouting in unison, and the power of the threefold heaven burst out without reservation, like two ferocious chariots, one left and one right, rushing towards Xia Chen with a fierce impact.

  Xia Chen's mouth corner revealed a hint of ruthless killing intent, his body flashed, like a willow catkin blown by the wind, lightly avoiding, already in front of a gate guest.

  The guest's face showed a look of terror, just as he was about to turn and run, a cold gleaming blade had already silently pierced his throat.

  "Bastard!" Yu Yongcheng and Qin Chuan shouted in unison, never expecting Xia Chen to suddenly turn around and slaughter these weak door guests instead of confronting them head-on.

  The two of them hastily turned around and attacked Xia Chen once again.

  Xia Chen completely ignored the two of them, constantly changing positions with his mysterious and unpredictable movements, making it impossible for Yong Cheng and Qin Chuan to even grab his clothes.

  Every time he changes a place, there must be one door guest who falls down. No matter how to dodge, resist or fight desperately, it is useless. In the face of the fivefold sky, the only ending for these door guests is a tragic death.

  Blood splattered everywhere, but eerily, there were no screams of agony, only the increasingly angry roars of Yu Yongcheng and Qin Chuan. However, the two men were like Kuafu chasing after the sun - they could only see Xia Chen's footsteps, but would never be able to catch up.

  In the blink of an eye, most of the guests from both families had fallen to the ground in a pool of blood, all killed with one strike. Among them were several late-stage second-order cultivators, but in front of Xia Chen's sharp blade, there was no difference between late-stage second-order and late-stage first-order.

  Yu Yongcheng and Qin Chuan's eyes were bloodshot, these two guests represented the main strength of the two families, but now it was not even a quarter of an hour, yet they had already lost their lives, and the two men were heartbroken.

  Suddenly, Xia Chen appeared in front of another person. Qin Chuan instantly let out a loud and furious roar: "Stop! You beast! How dare you kill him? I'll never end with you!"

  That man was Qin Luo. At this moment, Qin Luo was so scared that his heart and gall were broken, and he shouted wildly: "Xia Chen, I'll kneel down for you, please don't kill me, beg you, beg..."

  His voice suddenly stopped, his hands tightly grasped the short sword inserted into his throat, his face twisted into a ball of pain, and then he fell down silently.

  Xia Chen's face was expressionless as he drew out his short sword: "If you're going to die, then just die. Why so much nonsense?"

  Qin Chuan's head buzzed loudly, his eyes turned bright red, and he charged forward crazily, shouting: "You little beast, I'm going to fight you to the death!"

  Xia Chen gazed coldly at him, no longer moving from his spot. He waited until Qin Chuan rushed in front of him before suddenly kicking out with one foot, striking Qin Chuan's chest.

  Bang!

  Qin Chu's chest suddenly caved in, and fresh blood spurted out, flying backwards, heavily smashing onto the ground, rolling over a few times, coincidentally stopping beside Qin Luo's corpse.

  He ignored the blood gushing from his mouth, struggled to prop up half of his body, and with trembling hands covered in blood, he gently closed Qin Luo's eyes that refused to die, his gaze filled with infinite tenderness.

  "Haha, retribution indeed! My Qin family was disloyal and unrighteous from the start, we shouldn't have survived in this world. No matter how hard we tried to cling to life, we couldn't escape death. This is truly retribution!" Qin Chuan suddenly burst out laughing loudly, looking at Li Donggui: "Brother Li, my Qin family owes you, today I'll repay everything all at once."

  Bang! He slapped his forehead hard and fell down beside Qin Luo with a thud, dead on the spot.
