Chapter 180: Chapter 36: The Curtain Falls

Luo Liyu was suppressed by the opponent’s surging vitality, his meridians felt like they were frozen solid, clogged within his channels, unable to function properly.

"Boss." A glimmer of survival desire flashed in Luo Liyu’s eyes, he pleaded in a trembling voice, "Spare me, give me a way out. It was my fault, I was blind."

But before he could finish speaking, the figure seemed to have lost patience.

Bang!

The figure slammed him hard onto the ground, making Luo Liyu’s head spin.

Before he could regain his senses, a right foot had already landed on his chest.

Boom.

A huge hole was suddenly stomped into the floor, cracks spread from the landing spot of the big foot.

With a crisp crack, it was extremely clear amidst the falling dust.

The unconscious Condensed Primordial Eighth Rank expert had his chest crushed by a single stomp.

"Humph!"

Exhaling a thick breath through the nose, the red figure did all this and then looked around.

Those around were shocked and at their wit’s end by Luo Liyu’s suffocating death.

If, when Hong Weiqing was killed just now, they were still in doubt, thinking they were dreaming.

But now, Bai Hongqian and Luo Liyu, two top experts of the Condensed Primordial Eighth Rank, were so effortlessly defeated before Lin Yuan.

They were now fully awake, fully realizing just how terrifying the person before them was.

"Three supreme figures of the Yanghua level, being toyed with like this by him. What level of cultivation is he?" The Hong family members vigorously rubbed their eyes, staring at the mountainous figure.

"Bai Hongqian, Luo Liyu, both at my level, yet he just, he just killed them so effortlessly?" Laughing Buddha Mei Andao was stupefied, a storm of shock surging in his heart.

As the second in command of the West River Alliance, he was full of confidence regarding this operation. Yang Diancang and he had discussed the operation plan countless times, being unanimously recognized among the core elders of the West River Alliance that after this battle, they would firmly grasp their footing in Yanghua, possibly even replacing the Pei family.

But now, Lin Yuan appeared.

Not only was he underestimated by Hong Weiqing, but also by everyone else. Such strength was simply too startling and outrageous.

"Third level! Only those at the third level have this kind of power." At this moment, Mei Andao could no longer smile, arriving at a chilling answer: "No, this person may even comprehend part of the fourth level’s profound meaning."

As an upper city’s wanderer, he naturally heard about the horrors of those big figures in the upper city. But now, a living example appeared right before him, stripping him entirely of his courage to resist.

Just when Mei Andao was overwhelmed by Lin Yuan’s terrifying powers, spotlight-like rays suddenly landed on him.

"Laughing Buddha, Mei Andao!" A deep voice rang out.

Mei Andao suddenly heard his name, feeling as if a huge hand grasped his heart, nearly halting its beat, an icy sensation sprouting from his body.

The next moment.

The figure instantly flickered to his side.

Like dark clouds pressing down, Mei Andao’s vision went black, and he collapsed limply.

"Escape, escape, escape."

Hong Jincheng’s internal alarms blared, constantly shouting. Others had no more will to fight; staying around such a terrifying presence was tantamount to courting death.

Hong Jincheng’s body swiftly retreated, moving towards the building’s exit.

"After this battle, the Pei family will completely surpass the Hong family. Everything is over!" As he retreated, a sense of sorrow welled up in Hong Jincheng’s heart.

"Our Hong family’s hundreds of years of foundation, generations of hard work, now destroyed by a mere country bumpkin. I hate it!"

Thinking of his painstaking efforts and meticulous planning, accumulating for so long, only to fail at the brink of seeing dawn made his heart fill with grief and indignation. Moreover, with Hong Weiqing’s body not yet cold, he hadn’t even had the chance to retrieve his corpse.

An unnameable fury suddenly rose within him: "I must escape, by any means necessary, to destroy the Pei family. I’ll kill Lin Yuan’s entire family, let him taste the pain of losing his loved ones."

The howling cold wind blew past Hong Weiqing’s ear, as though he felt his hot blood already extinguished, only endless hatred filling his body.

"Lin Yuan needs some time to deal with Mei Andao. I’m sorry, Brother Mei, I’ll use your life as an opportunity to escape!"

Although Hong Jincheng’s heart was full of hatred, he was extraordinarily calm.

"Thunderous Nine Flashes."

Hong Jincheng shouted, stomping the balcony railing to pieces, like a cannonball, shooting outwards into the void.

But he underestimated the time Lin Yuan needed to deal with Mei Andao and overestimated the burst of his secret skill.

Bam!

A trace of horror flashed across Hong Jincheng’s cold and severe face.

Only seeing his right foot firmly grasped by a scarlet large hand.

"The other Hong family members all left gifts, and you just want to leave without saying goodbye?" A deep voice containing mockery echoed.

The next moment, an irresistible massive force forcibly altered his trajectory.

Only to see Hong Jincheng’s body whip back as if slapped away, spinning back from the air.

Boom boom boom!

His body continuously collided with wooden pillars and the walls inside the hall, breaking two half-person thick wooden pillars before barely landing.

But before the dizzy Hong Jincheng came to his senses, his neck was once again stepped on by a large foot.

Crack.

The scarlet figure did not hesitate, Qi Force spewing underfoot.

"Ugh ugh!"

Hong Jincheng instantly turned into a fish out of water. His body ceaselessly struggled and flailed, hands clutched his throat, desperately trying to draw air into his lungs, yet no matter how hard he tried, it was futile.

"Kill all the Hong family members, leave none alive!"

At this moment, Pei Zeqi finally regained his composure, an immense sense of exhilaration coursing through him, shouting loudly.

After speaking, Pei Zeqi’s figure erupted, slaughtering several Condensed Primordial initial stage minions in two flashes.

Seeing the Hong family’s struggling Guest Elders, a cold glint flickered across his face before he swept towards them.

"Kill.""Kill.""Kill."

Pei family disciples and enlisted Guests Elders loudly shouted. They already saw that the Pei family held an absolute advantage. The Hong family’s upper echelon had been rounded up, and hearts filled with immense excitement.

Twang!

The long sword hummed, instantly slaying the weep-faced monkey hidden in the crowd.

Only to see Hou Sixian’s azure robe billowing as he continuously flickered among the fighting groups, with each cold flash of light, a throat was sealed by his sword.

Finally, after a stick of incense’s time, the martial artists the Hong family brought were all massacred by the Pei family, not a single person escaped.

Hou Sixian panted heavily, the blade tip of his long sword still dripping with fresh blood.

His eyes swept across the scene. At this moment, under the efforts of the elders and enlisted, all the Hong family Condensed Primordial martial artists were completely exterminated.

"The third level, is it?" Looking again at the crimson figure in the center of the field, fear rose in Hou Sixian’s heart again, "I wonder when I can reach this level?"

"Even if I reach the third level, it’s tough to measure up to him." A look of admiration flashed in Hou Sixian’s eyes along with a sense of helplessness.

He knew how terrifying this figure truly was, that powerlessness without any strength to resist made any thought of comparison futile.

Swish!

The long sword returned to its sheath, Hou Sixian looked at Lin Yuan, who had already returned to his original place on the loft, and smiled bitterly, "Originally, I was in my early thirties, having reached the peak of the Condensed Primordial realm, but compared to Brother Lin here, it’s like comparing insects."

"A frog at the bottom of the well, a frog at the bottom of the well, it means someone like me."

Some talents are worlds apart from true geniuses.

But on the loft, Lin Yuan paid no mind to Hou Sixian’s thoughts, only noticing Mei Andao waking up beside his feet.

He didn’t kill Mei Andao because this person was from the upper city and knew the realms beyond the Condensed Primordial realm. Keeping him alive could potentially extort some information from him.
