Chapter 89: Fighting Against the Strongest of the Imperial Clan
"No problem, sir." Tonis said softly, his magical power trembling, the space around him was shrouded in his magical aura. His figure flashed like lightning, and the sword in his hand attacked Yun Xiao and Yun Ba, facing a three-star Dou Huang and a four-star Dou Huang, Tonis had no problem at all.
"Big brother, second brother, don't let the Huangs, Qians and Luos escape." Yue Cheng said to Yue Long and Yue He, while holding the Yinyang sword in his hand, he directly pounced on the people of the three families. Yue Cheng intended to give the three families a permanent lesson this time.
"Kill." Yue Long came back to his senses, and Yue Cheng's performance just now seemed to have shown him the future of the Yue family. He gave a slight command to the black-clad mercenary group behind him, and he himself also quickly charged into the crowd of the three big families.
A loud and urgent neighing sound rose, a hundred horses' hooves rapidly attacking the people of the three major families. This scene was nothing new to the Black Shadow Mercenary Group from Ghost Abyss, but for the people of the three major families, it was different. They had already lost in terms of momentum, and seeing a Dou Wang expert being killed with just one move by someone from the Yue family, they were already filled with fear, no match at all.
"Brothers, take them down!" Dong Daniu felt a bit uneasy seeing the Black Shadow Mercenary Group's men, each with an imposing aura. He couldn't help but feel stifled, as if he was being suppressed. The strength of the Black Shadow Mercenary Group wasn't much higher than his own 200 men, but their aura was something he couldn't match.
Seeing the Heiying Mercenary Corps attacking, Dong Daniu let out a loud roar and charged into the crowd of the three families first. Yue Zishan and Yue Zifeng also grasped their own weapons and rushed in.
The three big families were also the opponents of Heiying Mercenary Group and Dong Daniu's gang of robbers, dozens of people died in an instant, and they began to flee separately.
Yue Cheng's hand swung down with a sword, and one of the Huang family's three-star masters fell to the ground in front of him. Immediately afterwards, Yue Cheng didn't rush to find his opponent either, but instead began to survey the battlefield.
Dong Dainiu was matched against Huang Hui, while Yue Long and Yue He were matched against the two four-star Dou Ling cultivators of the Huang family. Yue Zishan and Yue Zifeng were matched against the heads of the Luo and Qian families, respectively. As for Dong Dainiu's several Dou Ling masters, including the six Dou Ling masters from the Black Shadow Mercenary Corps, they were also matched against the Dou Ling cultivators of the three major families.
In short, the number of Dou Ling in the Yue family now is more than the sum of the three major families. As for Xiao Tian Hu and Zi Dian Xuan, these two sixth-grade magic beasts, due to Yue Cheng's orders, they cannot show their true strength and can only pretend to be around one-star Dou Ling's strength on the battlefield.
As for the most thrilling battle, it belongs to the half-empty sky. The loud explosive sounds of power can be heard even tens of miles away. Tonis countered two Dou Wang masters and didn't fall behind, vaguely holding a slight upper hand.
Although Tonys had the upper hand, it was not easy to kill two people. The two fighting kings were not easy to deal with when they joined forces.
"Brother-in-law, I'm here." Dozens of people surged out from the edge of the battlefield again, and their attire was exactly that of the Yan family.
The master of the Yan family, Yan Renxiong, heard that the three major families were once again besieging the Yue family and immediately gathered the people in the clan to come and assist the Yue family. As soon as he arrived at the Yue family, Yan Renxiong was startled. Although he knew that the three sons of the Yue family had returned, the current strength of the Yue family was also a bit too powerful.
Yan Ren Xiong didn't have time to think much, and quickly joined the battle circle. With a member of the Yan family joining in, the three major families were no match for them. In an instant, the people from the three major families had been reduced by more than half, suffering heavy losses.
Watching Yan's family arrive, Yue Cheng felt a bit moved. The Yan family was indeed kind to the Yue family and could be considered one of their most reliable allies.
"Boom boom" The sky above kept transmitting the sound of powerful explosions, waves of energy ripples scattered, and the ground was also flying sand and walking stones. The great war in the Douwang realm is not something that ordinary people can participate in.
"Roar to the heavens, Tiger." Yue Cheng softly called out to the Xuan Tian Hu that was not far in front of him.
"Master, what's going on?" Xiao Tianhu had just killed a one-star Dou Ling and heard Yue Cheng calling him, so he quickly ran over.
"Help Tonis take down an opponent, don't transform into your true form." Yue Cheng said to Xiao Tian Hu.
Watching Toni's mid-air attempt to simultaneously kill two Dou Wangs wasn't an easy feat, and he couldn't let these two people escape later on. Yue Cheng could only send Xiao Tian Hu to deal with one of them. None of the three Dou Wangs from Yuan Bao Sect could be left alive; leaving any would only strengthen Yuan Bao Sect's power and become a future threat to the Yue family.
"Don't worry, master." Xuan Tian Hu let out a loud laugh and his figure suddenly floated into the sky. He gripped his large knife tightly and a huge blade of light chopped towards the Four-Star Dou Huang Yun Xiao who was fighting against Tonis. On Xuan Tian Hu's back, he deliberately condensed a pair of wings formed by demonic beast power, pretending to be the strength of the Dou Wang.
"With a loud roar, Yun Xiao's body fiercely fell to the ground in everyone's astonishment. As he lay dying, he stared at Xuan Tian Hu in mid-air with a terrified gaze, as if it was unbelievable, and muttered 'You... you are a Dou Huang strongman.'"
"Tunis, want me to help?" Xiao Tianhu floated in mid-air with a smile, looking at Tunis in front of him.
"No need, I can take him down right away." Tonis said, eliminating one opponent, Tonis suddenly felt a reduction in pressure, and the attack in his hand became even more fierce.
"Ah", after three moves, Yun Ba was killed by Tonis, and the three Dou Wang masters of Yuan Bao Zong were all dead. This scene was beyond everyone's imagination.
"Ah, Xiao Tian is also a Dou Wang master." The people from the Yue family looked at Xiao Tian in mid-air, and everyone was unbelievable. The follower beside Yue Cheng was actually another Dou Wang master. With one move, he killed the Dou Wang master who came from the Huang family. That's at least seven-star Dou Wang strength or above, it's too terrifying.
"Run!" one of the three families shouted first, and some people immediately ran around in all directions, causing chaos on the scene.
"Never mind, let's not pursue this." Just as everyone was about to chase after him, Yue Cheng called out to stop them.
"Third brother, why didn't you let us chase after them?" said Yue Long and Yue He as they arrived at Yue Cheng's side, looking puzzled.
"Big brother, second brother, let's go back and talk about it later, there's no rush at this moment." Yue Cheng said softly.
In the blink of an eye, all three major families had fled. After cleaning up the battlefield, it was discovered that this time, the three major families had suffered heavy losses. Almost all of the Three Families' Dou Ling practitioners were killed, and more than a hundred others also died.
In the grand hall of the Yue family, all the members of the Yue clan including Yue Zishan and Yue Zifeng were present. The master of the Yan family, Yan Wenyong was also among them.
Yan Renxiong was shocked after seeing the strength of the Yue family today, and he couldn't recover for half a day. The two Dou Wang experts had already become the number one force in Lijing Town. With the severe losses of the three major families this time, except for their respective family heads who escaped, there was no longer any power to contend with the Yue family.
Xiao Tianhu and Tonis, as well as Chen Biao, stood behind Yue Cheng, which made Yue Zishan also dare not sit down at first. A fourth-grade alchemist, a fifth-level magician, and a Dou Wang expert were present, but they just honestly stood behind Yue Cheng. Yue Zishan couldn't help but glare at Yue Cheng with all his might.
"Brother-in-law, congratulations! Having three sons as talented as these is truly enviable," said Yan Renxiong.
"Brother Yan is being polite, and I must also thank Brother Yan for his continued help to my wife's family." Yue Zishan said, if it weren't for the Yan family's constant support of the Yue family, the Yue family would have been finished long ago.
"Given our relationship as brothers-in-law, you're being too polite, little brother. I have something on my mind that I'd like to discuss with you today." said Yan Ren Xiong.
"Please speak, Brother Yan." Yue Zishan said, if there was something that the Yan family needed help with now, he would absolutely not decline.
The Yan family's patriarch glanced at Yue Cheng and then turned to Yue Zishan, saying: "Our young daughter Yan Xiaoxi is already twenty years old, Brother Yue has also seen her, she's reached the age of marriage. However, this girl is infatuated with magic and entered the Magic Academy, her talent isn't bad, and her appearance is passable too. Recently, I saw that she got along well with Young Master Yue Cheng, so I was thinking of arranging a marriage between her and Third Young Master Yue Cheng of the Yue family. What does Brother Yue think?"
"What" Yue Cheng was the first to be surprised, what's wrong with himself, and he would actually have a woman come to propose to him.
"This..." Yueshan was also stunned for a moment, and then looked at Yuecheng. Three years ago, Yuecheng was asked by the Yi family to divorce, but Yuecheng had made a three-year promise. In theory, the engagement between Yuecheng and Yiqian had not been formally lifted. As for Yan Xiaoxi from the Yan family, Yueshan understood that girl well, and if Yuecheng really married her, Yueshan would naturally not object.
"This, what do you think, Cheng Er?" Yueshan also didn't know how to respond. In his heart, he was actually willing to form an alliance with the Yan family through marriage. The young lady from the Yan family was indeed not bad, and the relationship between the Yan and Yue families was currently good, without any issues. Especially since the Yan family had helped out a lot for the Yue family's sake recently, the Yue family couldn't refuse the Yan family's proposal, let alone this time it was personally proposed by Yan Renxiong himself.
Everyone in the Yue family turned their attention to Yue Cheng, and everyone smiled at him. The Yue family also knew that people are like this, just like the Yi family, because of Yue Cheng's original reputation as a waste, the Yi family was unwilling to marry Yue Cheng, and even came to the Yue family to break off the engagement, which undoubtedly gave the Yue family a slap in the face, it was a great insult. It was also because of this that Yue Cheng chose to commit suicide, fortunately, Yue Cheng did not succeed in committing suicide, and he underwent tremendous changes, no longer the waste he once was. The current Yue Cheng is absolutely a genius, a real genius.
"Hmph" Yue Cheng's followers, Xiao Tian Hu, Zi Dian Mang, Chen Biao, Tonis, and Dong Da Niu couldn't help but stifle a smile. It seemed their master was still quite popular, as someone had come to propose. Xiao Tian Hu, Tonis, and Zi Dian Mang knew that their master already had a fiancée on Zuo Xing Island, the pampered daughter of the Sima family.
Yue Cheng couldn't help but turn his head and stare at the five people for a moment. The five people immediately stopped and disappeared.
"Mr. Yue Cheng, what do you think about this matter? If you're not willing, just tell me directly, I also know that my daughter is not a match for Mr. Yue Cheng." Yan Renxiong saw that the 5th-level magician and the Dou Wang expert, as well as the 4th-grade alchemist, all addressed Yue Cheng as "Mr. Yue" and "Master", so he didn't dare to address him by name directly anymore.
Seeing the hesitant expression on Yue Cheng's face, Yan Renxiong originally didn't have much hope. He just thought that since his daughter and Yue Cheng seemed to have some ambiguous relationship before, he might as well try to probe this time. If it works out, that would be great; if not, then so be it. Given the relationship between the Yan and Yue families, if the Yue family becomes powerful, the Yan family will still follow along with them. It seems that supporting the Yue family from the beginning was the right choice.
"Uncle Yan, it's better if you call me by my name. I'm not used to being called 'young master', it's not that I disagree, but I'm worried that Xiaoxiao might disagree." Yue Cheng said softly, as for Yan Xiaoxiao, Yue Cheng wouldn't refuse her, thinking back to when he had eaten a lot of tofu from her before.
"This, Young Master Yue is willing, and Young Master Yue's nephew can rest assured. Last time when Xiao Qi returned to the Magic Academy, I asked for her opinion, and Xiao Qi had already agreed." Hearing that Yue didn't refuse, Yan Renxiong couldn't help but feel great joy. The last time he saw Yue win the championship of the five major families, and seeing his daughter's attitude towards Yue, Yan Renxiong later asked his daughter about it, and Yan Xiaoxi also agreed.
Now the strength of the Yue family is evident to everyone, and the three brothers of the Yue family are all spirited and talented, with a high position at a young age. Especially Yue Cheng, who has a fifth-level magician, a fourth-grade alchemist, and a Dou Wang expert as his followers. His future prospects will definitely not be bad. After the Yue family becomes stronger, their daughter will be happy following Yue Cheng, and the Yan family will also become stronger. Yan Renxiong feels grateful to the Yi family, if it weren't for the Yi family wanting to cancel the engagement with the Yue family, how would the Yan family have had this opportunity?
"Then I'll just let Father take charge of everything." Yu Cheng said softly to Yu Zi Shan, after all, women aren't afraid of having a few more.
"Alright, then it's settled." Seeing that Yue Cheng didn't object, Yue Zi Shan was also very pleased. Next, the two family heads surprisingly began to hastily discuss the marriage between Yue Cheng and Yan Xiao Qi, which made Yue Cheng feel a bit depressed - this was just an engagement, not a wedding yet.
Let the two discuss their marriage, Yue Cheng was with Yue Long, Yue He and others behind Xiao Tianhu made a gesture, and several people found an excuse to leave the hall.
"Big brother, second brother, we should set off now." Yue Cheng said softly to Yue Long and Yue He. The three brothers had agreed that in the afternoon, they would completely destroy the Luo family and the Qian family, and only then slowly move on to the Huang family, making them live in endless fear before finally dealing with them.
"Alright, let's set off. First, we'll uproot the Luo and Qian families, so they can't jump around under the eyelids of the Yue family like a fly anymore." Yue Long said lightly, with a flash of murderous intent in his deep eyes. This time, the Luo and Qian families actually dared to come after the Yue family again; that was absolutely unforgivable.
Yuexin led the way out of the Yu family home, followed by a large group of people. After an entire afternoon, Yuzishan and Yan Renxiong had not yet finalized the details of Yuexin's marriage to Yan Xiaoxi, so Yuexin and others returned once again to the Yu family home.
"Where have you all been? Why did it take so long for you to come back, Long Er, He Er, why are there bloodstains on your bodies?" Seeing everyone walking back into the hall again, Yue Zi Shan took a glance and was startled to see that everyone had some bloodstains on them.
"It's nothing, Father. We just properly burned down the Luo and Qian families. From now on, Liying Town will no longer have these two families." Yue Long said lightly, having just exterminated two families was as simple as a daily routine for him.
"What, you've just wiped out the Qian and Luo families in a few hours?" Yue Zishan's eyes widened in astonishment. Yue Zifeng, as well as Yan Renxiong and the others who had stayed behind at the Yue residence, all felt it was somewhat inconceivable that in just these few hours, two families had been annihilated.
It's actually quite normal, as the strong men of the Qian and Luo families were all killed. Yue Cheng didn't chase them at first because he knew they would eventually return to their families. He went in the afternoon, expecting to catch them off guard. However, when Yue Cheng and his men arrived at the two families' homes, those who had escaped earlier were packing up their belongings, preparing to leave Liting Town. These people were already terrified, and their strength was no match for the Yue family's current power. They were simply slaughtered, with only a few women and children spared by Yue Cheng. The two family heads were killed, and their large mansions were burned down in one go.
"Father, tomorrow you can send someone to take over the businesses of both families, all the shops and businesses of the Luo family and Qian family. Our family, the Yue family, will have 70% and the Yan family will have 30%. What do you think, Father?" Yue Cheng said softly to Yue Zi Shan. Considering that the Yan family had supported the Yue family, and now they were going to be in-laws again, Yue Cheng could only give 30% of the shops and businesses to the Yan family. Anyway, these were just small change for Yue Cheng.
"This is naturally no problem for me," said Yue Zishan, coming back to himself and addressing Yan Renxiong.
"Then thank you, Brother Yue." Yan Renxiong slowly came back to his senses. The three-tenths of the shops and business that the Yan family had obtained from the Yan and Luo families were simply like getting another Yan family. This was no small sum.
The Yan family's Xiong couldn't help but feel sorry for the Luo and Qian families, if they hadn't listened to the Huang family's flattery, they wouldn't have come to deal with the Yue family in such a foolish manner, this is good, instead they ended up sacrificing their entire family, I believe those two families' people must be dying with their eyes open.
After the crowd dispersed, Yue Cheng returned to his room. As for dealing with the Luo and Qian families, Yue Cheng didn't take them seriously at all. The only thing that made Yue Cheng slightly worried was Yuan Baozong, who had a relationship with the Huang family. Yue Cheng wasn't afraid of Yuan Baozong himself, but he was somewhat afraid that if Yuan Baozong's people were provoked by him, they would take revenge on him even more fiercely. This time, he had killed three Dou Wang-level experts from Yuan Baozong, so he needed to be extra careful with Yuan Baozong.
