Chapter 156: Brothers Reunite
Upon seeing Zhao Zhuo appear, Jing Bu Si and Jing Bu Mie cheered and said: "Boss, you've come out of the pass, it's really great. If you hadn't come out, we probably wouldn't have been able to hold onto our dwellings either."
Zhao Duo heard this and couldn't help but look puzzled, saying: "What's going on? Could it be that someone else is fighting for our place to live?"
Zhao Diao naturally couldn't understand, the ones who could snatch their residence were certainly powerful cultivators, but how would powerful cultivators look down on this remote and simple courtyard.
When Jing didn't die, and Jing wasn't destroyed, he told Zhao Zhuo about the changes in Wang Hai City during those days. Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but reveal a surprised expression, and finally sighed: "It turns out that there are so many cultivators who aren't afraid of death."
Su Chuanzong, who was standing beside him, sneered coldly: "That's a top-grade congenital spiritual treasure. Even Dao Zun and Dao Zhu would be moved by its existence, let alone other cultivators. If there wasn't any reaction, that would be the strange thing."
He waved his hand and Zhao Xiao smiled: "What's there to be afraid of? We're not easy to bully either. If they want to take our territory, they'll have to have the strength for it."
As he spoke, Zhao Zhuo's body emitted a powerful aura, and the many cultivators around him immediately sensed the aura emanating from Zhao Zhuo. The powerful aura instantly dispelled the thoughts of many people, and some cultivators even cursed loudly: "This is a scam! This is a blatant scam! You, a high-ranking cultivator of the Return to One period, actually ran to the poor district to grab territory, isn't this too humiliating?"
Zhao Duo's actions immediately calmed down many restless cultivators, although Zhao Duo's cultivation in Wang Hai City was really nothing to speak of, but in this small poor district, there were really not many people who could compare to Zhao Duo.
It's been a few days and gradually, cultivators who have entered the Unity Realm started to appear in the slum area, so a new round of scramble for territory began.
Under Zhao Zhuo's calm and composed demeanor, the dilapidated courtyard was as stable as Mount Tai in a storm.
On this day, Zhao Zhuo suddenly woke up from his meditation, and inexplicably felt a sense of palpitations in his heart.
Zhao Zhuo didn't know why he had a palpitation feeling, thinking about it over and over again, Zhao Zhuo still couldn't understand.
Unable to meditate, Zhao Zhuo simply left his residence and wandered aimlessly on the main street. Unbeknownst to him, he had walked to an alley entrance.
When Zhao Zhuo came to his senses, he was shocked in his heart and a look of surprise appeared on his face. This alley entrance was the most familiar to Zhao Zhuo, because deep in the alley was the home where he, Zhao Feng, Zhao Luan, and Su Xiu had lived for over ten years.
"Listen up, kid! If you know what's good for you, get out of here immediately and hand over the house. Otherwise, I'll take your life!"
A very loud and harsh voice rang out in the courtyard, where three cultivators stood, their faces similar, with cruel expressions, they should be triplet brothers, the one who spoke first should be the eldest of the three.
These three people's cultivation is not bad, their strength is all in the middle of the Returning to One stage, I believe that if the three of them join hands, even a high-ranking Returning to One stage cultivator would not be able to easily defeat them.
And opposite the three, a man with an ordinary appearance and a foolish temperament leaned against the wooden door, with fresh blood hanging from his mouth, his eyes staring at the opponent, gritting his teeth: "This is my home, I won't let you have it no matter what"
"Good kid, it seems you really want to die! With your cultivation at the Nascent Soul stage, you actually dare to block my way? Earlier was just a lesson for you. Since you're so ungrateful, then go die!"
The weak and feeble Zhao Feng said stubbornly: "You can have me die, but as long as I'm not dead, no one will take over my home"
A man frowned and said, "Big brother, what's the point of so much nonsense? I've said it before, just kill him directly. Now look, after wasting so many words, we still have to kill him in the end."
Lu Da was furious and laughed: "Old Three, you go send him on his way. Remember, don't let him die so quickly, he actually dared to offend the three tigers of the Lu family."
Lu San nodded and took heavy steps, his powerful momentum slowly pressing towards Zhao Feng.
Not bad, that man is Zhao Feng, neither Su Xiu nor Zhao Zhuo had expected Zhao Feng to appear in the old house of Wang Haicheng.
After getting separated from Su and Zhao Lian, Zhao Feng had been inquiring about their whereabouts all along. Unfortunately, the power of Chongxiao Sect was too strong, and Zhao Feng couldn't even investigate Luo Tong's background, let alone know whose hands Zhao Lian and Su Xiu had fallen into.
After escaping the pursuit of Chong Xiao Zong, Zhao Feng quietly nursed his wounds and returned to Wang Hai City. For Zhao Feng, Wang Hai City was his roots, and in this home where he had lived for decades, he could feel the breath of his family. He buried his head in bitter cultivation, almost oblivious to the outside world. It was precisely this diligent cultivation that allowed him to raise his cultivation to the level of Fa Xiang in such a short period of time with his innate spiritual intuition.
Just as Zhao Feng was about to go out again to gather news of Zhao Lian and the others, the disturbance in Wang Hai City began. Countless powerful cultivators poured into Wang Hai City, and before Zhao Feng could even figure out what was happening, the three major families were completely annihilated overnight. Then, the neighbors around him either fled or were killed, and in the blink of an eye, everything around Zhao Feng seemed to have become unfamiliar all at once.
On this day, three powerful cultivators finally came to the door. In fact, Zhao Feng was not without mental preparation, but having mental preparation is one thing, and he had never thought of letting others live in his old home.
Feeling the overwhelming aura that was like a mountain pressing down on him, the Northern Profound Heaven Secret Art circulated rapidly within his body. However, despite possessing an ancient cultivation technique, Zhao Feng was still unable to resist the powerful and oppressive aura emanating from Lu Tian's body.
It was as if he could feel the sound of his body cracking, a strong and intense pain that made him want to curl up into a ball, Zhao Feng could only grit his teeth and endure, forcing himself not to let out a cry of pain.
Lu San took a step closer to Zhao Feng, his sinister smile growing even more ferocious due to the painful expression on Zhao Feng's face.
"Go die"
Lu San's eyes flashed with a bloody light, and he let out a low growl from his mouth.
At this moment, a loud shout came: "You dare, I am Zhao Zhuo again, who dares to hurt my big brother!"
A chill of murderous intent came from behind, and before Lu San could react, a cold sensation crept up his neck. Then he saw a headless corpse standing there, with hot blood gushing out of the neck stump.
"Huh, why does this headless corpse look so familiar?"
Suddenly reacting, Lu San realized that the headless corpse was actually his own body. The terrified expression on his face froze instantly, because at this time, Jiu Zi Gui Mu's Yin Yang sword had already crushed his head into powder, and neither Fa Xiang nor Yuan Shen Zu Xiang had time to escape.
This change was so sudden that Lu Da and Lu Er didn't react until after Lu San had been killed. By the time they reacted, they realized their third brother had been thoroughly killed, without even a hint of possibility for rebirth.
Centuries of resentment, coupled with the deep-seated affection for their kin, caused Lu Da and Lu Er's eyes to turn bloodshot as they glared intensely at Zhao Zhuo, who had suddenly appeared in the small courtyard.
Zhao Duo's face was filled with shock and delight as he stared at Zhao Feng in surprise, saying that he had never thought that he would be able to meet Zhao Feng here.
Zhao Feng rubbed his eyes, still with an incredulous expression on his face, looking at Zhao Zhuo and excitedly trembling said: "You... you are my second brother, really my second brother?"
Zhao Duo felt a wave of warmth in his heart, looking at Zhao Feng's familiar face, still remembering how Zhao Feng had relied on his own hard work to collect money in order to open up their siblings' spiritual apertures.
Over a decade has passed, and Zhao Feng hasn't changed much in appearance, still having that rustic and sturdy look; if there's any change at all, it should be said that he has gained more maturity and composure compared to his younger years.
Falling beside Zhao Feng, Zhao Zhuo nodded happily and said: "Big brother, it's me, I'm Zhao Zhuo"
Whether it was Lu Da or Lu Er, neither of them could consider what kind of relationship existed between Zhao Zhuo and Zhao Feng. In their eyes, Zhao Zhuo was the murderer of their third brother, and only by killing Zhao Zhuo could they avenge their brother's death.
"Return my three brothers' lives!"
A loud roar came from Lu Da's mouth, and Zhao Zhuo only felt a thunderbolt falling on his head. However, this divine power couldn't do anything to Zhao Zhuo. He saw Zhao Zhuo stretch out his hand towards the top of his head, and a layer of sparkling light appeared, as if an invisible cover had enveloped him and Zhao Feng inside, while those thunderbolts falling from the sky couldn't enter the protective cover.
"It's just a small Thunder Fall technique, whatever means you have, bring it out, don't say I didn't give you the opportunity, no matter what, none of you will be leaving this courtyard today"
It suddenly occurred to him that if he hadn't walked here unconsciously and appeared in time, Zhao Feng would not have been saved. As soon as he thought of Zhao Feng walking around the Ghost Gate, Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine. If something had really happened to Zhao Feng, then even if he had cut Lu Da into pieces, what could he do?
His eyes revealed an undisguised strong intent to kill Lu Da and Lu Er, no matter what, he would definitely kill the two.
The intense killing intent emanating from Zhao Duan suddenly made Lu Da and Lu Er snap out of their trance, but even though they were now awake, their eyes still gleamed with a fierce red light as they glared at Zhao Duan, as if they would pounce on him the next moment and tear him to shreds.
Lu Da gritted his teeth and stared at Zhao Shuo: "What kind of person are you? Why do you want to kill my third brother?"
Zhao Duo sneered, taking a step forward and shielding Zhao Feng behind him. He coldly snorted, "What are you people? You dare to force my brother? Not only did you kill our third brother, but today the two of you will also not escape death."
At the beginning of the month, I'm seeking flowers and hope all brothers will smash flowers to support me.
