Humans, starting with chat groups, rampage across the heavens.

"Bang!"

Having never seen a musket before, Jia Lienu had no time to dodge the attack at such close range. With a gunshot, a finger-sized hole appeared on Jia Lienu's forehead, and his body fell to the ground with a thud.

Xu Qi, with his eyes half-closed in a pretentious manner, blew a breath into the muzzle of the gun and said:

"What kind of Grand Master are you? You're nothing but a chicken and a dog!"

Xu Qi'an then picked up the musket again and aimed the muzzle at Jialiebi.

Seeing that Jia Lie Nu, who had the cultivation of a third-grade Grand Dou Master, had died, Jia Lie Bi and another elder were both shocked.

Seeing Xu Qi'an point the gun at him, Jia Liebi did not hesitate at all and immediately dodged away.

Knowing Xu Qi'an's situation, Yao Lao did not hesitate and controlled Xiao Yan's body to attack another elder. The white flames swept across the sky, and before the elder could react, he was burned to ashes.

Having witnessed the deaths of two of the clan's elders one after another, Jialiebi was terrified. He suddenly activated all his fighting spirit and turned to flee towards the backyard.

Seeing Jialiebi fleeing, Xiao Yan and Xu Qi'an did not rush to give chase.

Lu Chen walked over to Xu Qi'an, smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and said:

"Alright, stop pretending!"

Xu Qi'an stopped pretending, put away the musket, and clicked his tongue, saying:

"The muskets made by the Imperial Observatory are really powerful, but they consume too much mana. That last shot almost drained me dry."

Xiao Yan, who had regained control of the body, walked over and said mockingly:

"How's it going? If not, take a break first, and then watch my performance."

"I can't go on anymore, I'm too weak. I'll leave the rest to you."

"I need to recover first; there are other family members coming later."

Xu Qi'an waved his hand and said.

Xiao Yan didn't waste any more time. He handed control of his body back to Yao Lao and charged towards the backyard.

……

Utan City was not large to begin with, and the news of the attack on the Jialie family quickly reached the ears of other forces.

After receiving the message from his clansmen, Obaba, the patriarch of the Obaba family, one of the three major families in the city, hesitated for a moment before immediately summoning the other two Grand Master elders and a group of elite warriors to head towards the Garlie family's residence.

Although Obapa is still unsure who attacked the Jia Lie family, the Xiao family is the most likely culprit.

The Obama family has always stood together with the Jialie family to fight against the Xiao family. If something really happens to the Jialie family this time, then the Obama family alone will no longer be able to fight against the Xiao family.

However, in Obapa's heart, he was also looking forward to the Xiao family and the Jia Lie family facing off.

If the Xiao family and the Jialie family can both suffer heavy losses, then the Oba family will become the sole dominant force in Wutan City.

……

The Xiao family also received the news.

Xiao Zhan, who had already fallen asleep, immediately summoned the three elders of the Xiao family for a meeting.

After a brief discussion, the four decided to take a small number of elite clansmen to the Jialie family to investigate.

If the Jialie family is truly severely damaged, they will not let go of this opportunistic chance to take advantage of the situation.

……

Besides these two, other forces in the city, such as the City Lord's Mansion and the Mittel Auction House, also received the news and sent spies to investigate.

……

On the side of the Jia Lie family.

Yao Lao controlled Xiao Yan's body to charge ahead, while Lu Chen and Xu Qi'an followed behind leisurely.

When Lu Chen arrived at the backyard, it was already littered with corpses and blood.

"Brother Lu, has Jialiebi run away? I've searched the entire backyard but can't find him."

"Having regained control of his body, Xiao Yan walked over and said."

"No doubt about it."

"There's a hidden room in the middle of the house, where Galebi and a few others were hiding."

Lu Chen looked up at the house in front of him and said.

Under Lu Chen's divine sense, no movement of the entire Jia Lie family could escape his detection.

"The vase on top is the mechanism for the secret room."

The three of them walked into the middle room together, and Lu Chen pointed to the bookshelf and said.

Xiao Yan immediately stepped forward and turned the vase, and a hidden door instantly opened in the previously smooth wall next to it.

Jia Liebi and several elderly people, women, and children were hiding inside.

Seeing that Lu Chen and his group had found their way here, despair immediately crossed Jialiebi's face, and he asked in a deep voice:

"Who are you people? I have no grudge against you, why are you trying to wipe out my Jia Lie family?"

"The Jia Lie family has never even seen my face, how would they know we have no grudge?"

Xiao Yan spoke slowly, removing his bamboo hat and mask as he spoke.

"It's you?!"

Upon seeing Xiao Yan's face, Jia Liebi's face immediately showed a look of horror.

"That good-for-nothing brat from the Xiao family!"

"You actually possess such strength?"

"Alright, Chief Jialie now knows my identity, so he can die in peace."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yao Lao took over Xiao Yan's body again, raised his hand and unleashed a palm strike, engulfing everything in a deep white flame that reduced Jia Liebi to ashes.

The remaining elderly people and children were already trembling with fear, but Lu Chen saw deep hatred in their eyes.

Seeing Jialiebi die, the old men gritted their teeth and lunged at Xiao Yan, but before they could get close, they were also turned to ashes by the flames.

Only four terrified children remained in the dark room.

"Kid, they're all yours now. It's up to you whether to kill them or let them go."

After saying this, Yao Lao flew back into his storage ring.

Looking at the four children huddled in the corner, trembling with fear, Xiao Yan felt conflicted.

Despite Xiao Yan's fierce words, he only has the experience of a teenager, both in his past and present lives, and cannot truly be that ruthless.

Lu Chen noticed Xiao Yan's inner turmoil and stepped to his side, saying:

"Since you can't make a decision, why not give them the opportunity themselves?"

As he spoke, Lu Chen walked up to the four children, took out a short knife and a piece of candy from his storage bag, and looked at the first child, asking:

"Here's a candy and a knife, which would you choose?"

"Choose the right one and you'll survive."

The child hesitated for a moment, tossing the candy between Lu Chen's two hands, before finally pointing at it and saying:

"I choose this one."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chen raised his hand and ended his life with a single palm strike, then said calmly:

"At such a young age, he already knows how to be patient and disguised; he's extremely cunning. This child must not be allowed to live!"

After speaking, Lu Chen looked at the second child and asked:

"Candy or a knife, which would you choose?"

The child raised his hand tremblingly and said:

"I'll choose the knife! I'll choose the knife..."
