"What else did you expect?" Zhang Xiaohao rolled his eyes.
"Tsk tsk! Three days not seen, truly a sight to behold!" Murong Yu Yan circled around Zhang Xiaohao, speaking admiringly.
"Is everything taken care of?" asked Zhang Xiaohao.
"Mm-hmm." Murong Yu Yan nodded.
"Keep the items with you for now, let’s go!" said Zhang Xiaohao.
He drew back his Soul Power, and with a tap of his foot, he stepped into the Twelve Heavenly Steps, transforming into a bolt of lightning as he charged towards the remaining two great families.
Zhang Xiaohao, along with the Black Dragon Saint and Murong Yu Yan, stopped in front of the Shilangdao Family.
The Shilangdao Family was the second family allied by marriage to the John family.
"Kill!" Zhang Xiaohao commanded imperiously, sweeping a majestic Soul Power to erect a soul barrier around the Shilangdao Family.
Wielding the Fish Intestine Sword, he led the charge with the Black Dragon Saint and Murong Yu Yan.
In an instant, the sounds of slaughter shattered the heavens, with blood flowing like rivers.
A thick scent of blood permeated throughout the Shilangdao Family compound.
The Shilangdao Family fell, stepping into the shadow of the Roland Family’s demise.
Zhang Xiaohao, accompanied by the Black Dragon Saint and Murong Yu Yan—three people in total—rushed to the last allied kin of the John family—the Tianfuhuan Family.
Under the fierce attacks of Zhang Xiaohao and his companions, the Tianfuhuan Family, unsurprisingly, fell within a mere five minutes, completely eradicated by the trio.
In less than half an hour, all three of the John family’s allied families had been uprooted by Zhang Xiaohao, leaving not even a trace of their existence.
"Are you okay? Only the John family is left; do you need a rest?" Murong Yu Yan asked, flicking her hair aside.
"Strike the iron while it’s hot! Let’s hit them before they can react," Zhang Xiaohao said coldly.
His robust aura of killing intent surged into the night sky.
"Can you handle it?" Murong Yu Yan asked with concern.
"Do you want to find a place and give it a try?" Zhang Xiaohao responded with a question.
"Fine! Consider my words unsaid. After all, I’m just tagging along, you’re the killer, not me," Murong Yu Yan said.
"Haha... A man can never admit defeat. To ascend to the heavens, to demolish the earth, to stand tall under the sky, and to carve out a universe of ten thousand miles!" Zhang Xiaohao laughed heartily, with boundless pride.
"Turns out this guy isn’t as obnoxious as I thought, and he actually has some charm," Murong Yu Yan thought to herself as she watched Zhang Xiaohao.
"Let’s move! To annihilate the John family!" Zhang Xiaohao declared with a murderous aura.
New grudges and old, it was time to end them all.
Without delay, taking the Black Dragon Saint and Murong Yu Yan with him, Zhang Xiaohao tapped his foot and charged toward the John family.
The trio led by Zhang Xiaohao appeared a mile away from the John family.
To be precise, they were stopped by the guards of the John family.
The John family was lit up like daylight, with alarm bells ringing out above them. Centered around the John family, squads of patrolling guards swiftly moved through the darkness.
"Who goes there? Are you coming from the three great Roland families?" A One-eyed foreigner at the head of the guards asked coldly.
"It seems you received the news quite quickly, huh!" Zhang Xiaohao sneered.
"Hmph! Daring to eradicate allied families of the John family, you all deserve to die!" the One-eyed foreigner said, seething with killing intent.
"Haha..." Zhang Xiaohao laughed unrestrainedly.
"With such insignificance as you have, you dare talk to me about death? I’m really curious; where do you get such courage?" Zhang Xiaohao said with an imposing air.
"This is our John family’s territory, where do you think my courage comes from?" the One-eyed foreigner said arrogantly.
"Is that so? Open your dog’s eyes and watch how I uproot the John family and exterminate you completely!" Zhang Xiaohao said with murderous intent.
"Where is Little Black, give me a lance to skewer them!"
"Yes, Brother!!" the Black Dragon Saint Heir responded.
Grasping the black lance, he took a step and shot forward like lightning.
As the black lance swung, a giant black Jiao Long burst forth from it.
"Go to hell, all of you!" the Black Dragon Saint Heir growled.
The domineering black Jiao Long swept them up, surrounding the One-eyed foreigner and his group, and the savage power blasted into their bodies.
Blood sprayed everywhere, and a huge pit was blown into the ground.
In the face of the Black Dragon Saint Heir’s domineering strike, the One-eyed foreigner and his group didn’t even have a chance to react before they were slaughtered.
"Holy crap! Could he be any more fierce? Where on earth did Zhang Xiaohao find such a monster?" Murong Yu Yan thought shockingly to herself after witnessing the scene.
"Don’t just stand there! Wherever we’re killing, that’s where you should be picking up treasures! Don’t go to places we haven’t cleared; I’ve sensed several powerful presences in their lair! If you go there with your current strength, you’ll just be serving yourself up on a platter," Zhang Xiaohao reminded her.
"Okay!" Murong Yu Yan nodded.
"Let’s go! Let’s go on a killing spree!" Zhang Xiaohao said with murderous fervour.
Gripping the Fish Intestine Sword, he and the Black Dragon Saint Heir, shoulder to shoulder, charged toward the John family.
Even from a distance, a furious killing aura burst forth from the two of them, enveloping the John family.
"Kill!" Guards outside of the John family saw Zhang Xiaohao and the others coming to kill.
They roared wildly, transformed, and wielding swords, they charged at Zhang Xiaohao and his companions. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝔫𝔢𝔱
"Little Black, you and I should have a good contest, let’s see who can kill more!" Zhang Xiaohao declared spiritedly.
"Good! If I win, I want to eat candy," the Black Dragon Saint Heir replied.
The ’candy’ he referred to was naturally the Elixirs used for cultivation.
"Alright!" Zhang Xiaohao laughed loudly.
With a tap of the foot, he and the Black Dragon Saint Heir charged up lightning-fast.
"The heads are mine, I want to eat candy, come to me quickly!"
Both Zhang Xiaohao and the Black Dragon Saint Heir roared at the same time.
Weapons in hand, they plunged into the crowd.
Blood rained down; wherever they passed, no matter how strong the enemy, they were cut down with a single blow.
The over one hundred guards that rushed up were all slaughtered cleanly by Zhang Xiaohao and his companion in less than three minutes.
Murong Yu Yan’s initial shock had turned into numbness, and now it had become commonplace.
She earnestly did her job of collecting treasures, anything she deemed valuable was stored in her bag.
"Break for me!" Zhang Xiaohao growled.
With one slash of the Fish Intestine Sword, the Purple Gold Gate of the John family was destroyed.
With the two of them, Zhang Xiaohao walked in, a killing aura surrounding them.
"You’ve got some nerve to run wild in the John family’s land, you’re just asking for..."
Before the last word, ’death,’ could be uttered, the foreign leader was blasted to death by Zhang Xiaohao with a casual move.
