Erhu took the lead, charging at a Flame Gate master at the pinnacle of the Dark Energy stage. He let out a loud shout, and his right fist thundered forth, the arm shimmering and swelling to several times its original size, exuding a terrifying aura.
The Flame Gate master faced Erhu’s attack, instinctively striking back to block, but his fist shattered upon contact with Erhu’s.
Erhu’s fearsome punch, unstoppable as bamboo splitting, smashed into the Flame Gate master’s head, which burst open like a watermelon on impact.
White brain matter mixed with crimson blood sprayed out in a gruesomely vivid scene that turned onlookers pale and made their stomachs churn.
Although Erhu was only at the pinnacle of the Dark Energy stage, he had just killed an expert of the same level with a single punch. It was his first kill, but his face showed no fear, only a hint of exhilaration.
"Awesome, let’s keep going!"
After exploding a head with one punch, Erhu was even more excited and attacked the next person, while Dahu also began to move. His momentum was no less formidable, killing a Flame Gate expert at the late stage of Dark Energy with a single move.
In no time, Dahu and Erhu became like twin gods of death, slaughtering through the group of Flame Gate masters.
Although Dahu and Erhu were only at the pinnacle of Dark Energy, they possessed Innate Divine Strength and held endless power within their bodies, enhanced by their practice of Tongbi Divine Fist.
It had greatly triggered their power to the limit. Probably even masters at the Initial Stage of Transformative Energy were no match for the two brothers in terms of strength.
The group of Flame Gate masters numbered about thirty, mostly at the level of Dark Energy, among them six or seven masters at the Transformative Energy level, all of which were taken care of by Kuang Shi.
The rest were utterly dominated by the brothers Dahu and Erhu, each one killed with a single punch, all dying under the power of Tongbi Divine Fist in extremely bloody and brutal fashion.
After a minute, all of the Flame Gate people had been massacred, none of them having any chance to resist, dying terribly, either with their heads blown apart or their chests shattered.
The air was thick with the stench of blood, and both Dahu and Erhu were soaked in it, looking terrifying.
Through this carnage, the two had truly transformed from ordinary men, leaving behind their past lives and embarking on a path completely different from ordinary people, eventually becoming two War Gods by Xiao Yifeng’s side.
"How does it feel to kill for the first time?"
Xiao Yifeng looked at the two.
"It’s thrilling, very exciting!"
Erhu said excitedly, while Dahu seemed much calmer, yet there was no sign of fear in his eyes.
"Good, since you two call me Boss and follow me, killing is the skill you most need to learn. If you don’t know how to kill, you can only wait to be killed by others."
"If you want to avoid being killed by others, you must strive to improve your strength. Your current strength is still weak, and you need to work hard to enhance it."
"Both of you have immense potential in your bodies. As long as you can trigger it and gain control, you can become real Strong Ones."
Xiao Yifeng spoke seriously.
"Don’t worry, Boss, we definitely won’t let you down!"
Dahu and Erhu promised emphatically.
"Good, I believe in you two!"
Xiao Yifeng nodded, his eyes narrowing slightly as he looked at Kuang Shi: "Take these corpses to Flame Gate and tell them, ’All who are from Flame Gate, set foot in Tianhai, only to die!’"
Kuang Shi nodded gravely.
Yanjing, Xiao Family.
In the Xiao Family hall, Situ Yan said to Xiao Ding in a deep voice, "I think we should directly invite one of the Xiao Family Retainers to deal with that kid; we can’t go on ."
"Invite a Retainer? That seems a bit excessive, after all, he has Xiao Family blood flowing in his veins. If a Xiao Family Retainer takes action, it won’t look good if word gets out!"
Xiao Ding spoke, hesitating somewhat.
"Now that even members of the Hidden Assassin at the Qi Condensation Realm can’t kill him, if we don’t call upon a Retainer, are you waiting for him to come and kill us?"
Situ Yan’s face was cold, his eyes flickering with ruthlessness.
Xiao Ding’s gaze flickered, as he pondered something.
"Elder Sister-in-law, you really are cruel enough. To deal with Yifeng, you even want the Xiao Family Retainer to make a move. Do you realize the Xiao Family Retainer only takes action when the Xiao Family is in dire straits?"
Just then, Xiao Han walked in, his expression cold as he stared at Situ Yan.
"And what of that? This lad will eventually strike at the Xiao Family, to its detriment. Since that’s the case, I’m simply eliminating a hidden danger in advance!"
Situ Yan retorted coldly.
"You truly are obstinate and beyond help!"
Xiao Han’s complexion turned ugly, a flicker of anger crossing his eyes.
"Xiao Han, remember your place. I am your elder sister-in-law, the Lady of the Xiao Family. Is that any way to speak to me?"
Situ Yan looked at Xiao Han and rebuked him in a stern voice.
"You are not worthy of being my elder sister-in-law, much less the Lady of the Xiao Family!"
Xiao Han said unapologetically.
"How dare you! Xiao Han, how can you speak like that?"
Xiao Ding suddenly slammed the table and stood up, his gaze deep and filled with an angry expression as he stared at Xiao Han.
Xiao Han huffed heavily and turned to leave.
"Look at your brother. It seems he is deliberately choosing to stand with that boy and oppose us!"
Situ Yan looked at Xiao Ding with an indignant face.
Xiao Ding could not help but sigh, his eyes reflecting a complex look.
"Regardless, that boy must die. If he does not, I will not be at peace!"
Situ Yan dropped a sentence and walked out.
In Yanjing, a farm resides in the suburbs.
Within this farm lies a modest courtyard surrounded by a variety of flora creating a pleasant scenery, the location itself peaceful and serene.
In the courtyard, an old man in a white lab coat, cloth shoes, with pale hair and a face full of wrinkles, was using scissors to prune a flower. Several shadowy figures were hidden nearby, seemingly protecting the old man in secrecy.
At that moment, a man walked in—it was Xiao Han.
Xiao Han glanced at the old man a few times and walked straight over.
Xiao Han approached the old man from behind and bowed in greeting.
And this old man was evidently Xiao Han’s father, Elder Master Xiao from the Xiao Family, Xiao Yuanshan.
"What are you here for?"
Xiao Yuanshan continued pruning the flowers, not turning around.
"Father, I’ve come to discuss an important matter with you."
Xiao Han said, standing behind Xiao Yuanshan.
"Haven’t I already told you? I will not get involved in Xiao Family affairs. If there’s something, go discuss it with your elder brother. I just want some peace and quiet!"
Xiao Yuanshan said sternly.
"It’s about the matter concerning Second Brother’s son, Xiao Yifeng!"
Xiao Han blurted out.
