Swordholder

"You...you!!"

Lu Sidao uttered two words in succession, trembling with anger, and for a moment he could not utter a complete sentence.

But deep down he was laughing with ecstasy.

Haha, great!

That's wonderful!

You big idiot!

Do you dare kill Gou Zhanjun?

This undoubtedly offended Prefect Gou Zongdao to death!

Lu Sidao's gaze toward Chen Yuan was cold and piercing, as if he were looking at a dead body.

He was certain that the Chen family would be destroyed today.

Even if Chen Xiaoying were there, so what?

He didn't believe Chen Xiaoying could stop the enraged Tianqing County government forces.

Previously, Niu Huanxi died, offending the prefect!

Sun Wu's death angered Grand Master of Law Enforcement Sun Chengzong!

Now that Gou Zhanjun has been killed, he has completely forged a blood feud with Prefect Gou Zongdao!

The more Lu Sidao thought about it, the happier and more pleased he became.

"Chen Qingcang, even if the Princess Consort of Zhen Dong intervenes today, she cannot save your Chen family!"

Lu Sidao roared inwardly, then looked at the group of Gou family followers behind Gou Zhanjun.

The group of people were already terrified and stood frozen in place.

Our young master... just like that, he died?

Isn't that too hasty?

All of this is a long story, but the battle between Gou Zhanjun and Chen Yuan didn't last very long.

Before they could even react, Gou Zhanjun's head was gone!

You must know that Gou Zhanjun is a peerless genius that the Gou family has only seen once in a century!

Even seasoned experts from Tianqing County might not be able to kill him easily, yet he died at the hands of a mere human youth!

Just then, Chen Yuan, sword in hand, strode up to the Lu family members, a ruthless smile playing on his lips:

"What? Are the Lu family all a bunch of good-for-nothings?"

Didn't you just yell at me to come down and die?

"I'm here now, what the hell are you all standing there for?"

"Go ahead, please fuck me to death!"

"presumptuous!"

Another middle-aged man from the Lu family roared angrily, pointing a finger at Chen Yuan, "Do you know the monstrous things you've done...?"

Before he finished speaking, Chen Yuan had already charged forward at incredible speed, cleaving him in two with a single sword strike!

The remaining members of the Lu family were terrified, their eyes snapping open!

"Stop your fucking nonsense! If you don't fuck me to death today, I'll fuck you all to death!"

Chen Yuan gripped the Tianzheng Sword tightly and shouted loudly, charging straight into the Lu family crowd, his sword rising and falling!

Puff puff!

A whole host of heads flew into the air!

All the onlookers on the shore were stunned.

Has Chen Yuan completely gone mad?

He slaughtered all the executioners of the Lu family as soon as he landed, and killed Gou Zhanjun in more than ten rounds. Now he wants to massacre the entire Lu family.

That's the prestigious Lu family, a renowned family of Xuanxiang!

"The cultivators at the Dharma Body Realm must retreat immediately! All mid- and high-level cultivators at the Yellow Court Realm, along with several elders, must advance and surround him to kill him!"

Seeing his people being slaughtered, Lu Sidao was enraged and gave a loud order.

boom!

Several powerful figures moved simultaneously, closing in on Chen Yuan to attack.

However, Chen Yuan did not engage in combat with the Yellow Court cultivators at all, but instead mercilessly killed the Lu family disciples with low cultivation levels in the Dharma Body Realm.

"Damn it! Chen Yuan, if you've got the guts, don't hide!"

Lu Sidao's eyes were bloodshot with rage, and he led seven or eight Huangting Daoists to surround and intercept them.

Chen Yuan completely ignored them, targeting only the weak and showing no mercy in his killings.

"You little beast! How dare you slaughter my Lu family's members!"

I will surely slaughter every member of the Chen family to avenge those who died today!

The Lu family cultivators roared and sent out their men to chase after the Chen family members who were boarding the ship to escape!

To his astonishment, he discovered that the boat had already sailed away from the lake shore, which made him so angry that he almost vomited blood.

He turned to look at the Gou family members who stood there dumbfounded, and shouted angrily:

"Are you all idiots? This man killed your young master, why aren't you taking revenge?"

These words awakened the Gou family members, who were all shaken and immediately rushed forward to surround and attack Chen Yuan.

Hundreds or even thousands of cultivators surrounded Chen Yuan, finally trapping him firmly within the encirclement.

"roar!"

Chen Yuan raised his head and roared, his battle power surging wildly, and a powerful wave of energy directly repelled seven or eight Huangting Daoists.

He then pounced on the court-level cultivators like a tiger, actually carving a bloody path through them!

Those on the shore who witnessed this scene were filled with utter horror.

Chen Yuan's combat strength is so formidable?

No wonder they survived the aristocratic family assessment competition!

Too monstrous!

Niu Sengru, Sun Chengzong, Qi Boheng, and others, who were secretly watching the battle, stared wide-eyed.

Watching the boy slaughtering indiscriminately, the men's eyes revealed an undisguised surge of killing intent.

If this human prodigy is allowed to grow unchecked, he will surely become a major threat to the Beastmen in the future!

Among them, the prefectural magistrate Gou Zongdao was almost insane.

He never expected his only son to intervene, and even less did he expect his son to die by Chen Yuan's sword in an instant, so fast that he had no time to stop him.

"I want him dead! Not only Chen Yuan, but the entire Chen family must be buried with my son!!"

Gou Zongdao's face was contorted, and he roared fiercely, looking like a vengeful ghost.

Prefect Niu Sengru quickly pressed him down, advising in a deep voice, "Lord Gou, please don't act rashly, wait a moment!"

"Screw you!"

Gou Zongdao suddenly flung his hand, knocking Niu Sengru away.

Niu Sengru froze, then immediately roared:

"Don't let this ruin our plans. If our son dies, we can just have another one!"

Gou Zongdao nearly vomited blood, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at Niu Sengru. "It wasn't your son who died, yet you make it sound so easy!"

"Didn't my good son Niu Huanxi die too? And I, damn it, was just enduring it too, wasn't I?"

Niu Sengru roared, his eyes bulging with fury.

The thought of Niu Huanxi caused him a sharp pain in his heart.

Many of Tianqing's senior executives around him offered their advice.

We haven't even dealt with the Chen family yet, and our top two leaders are already fighting?

That won't do.

"That's right, let's wait a little longer. The Chen family's senior members have not shown up yet!"

"If we intervene now, we can at most suppress Chen Yuan, but we won't achieve our goal of destroying the Chen family!"

Sun Chengzong also quickly spoke up to dissuade him.

The men had ferocious expressions; their goal was to wait until Chen Yuan was defeated, then for the entire Chen family to come to his aid.

Then, this group of people used the pretext of suppressing a riot to make their move, not only to kill Chen Yuan, but also to take the opportunity to destroy the Chen family!

But up to this point, not a single member of the Chen family's upper echelons has made a move.

Chen Yuan alone routed the Lu family, leaving corpses strewn across the battlefield!

"Useless! Is Lu Sidao's whole family useless? They couldn't even force Chen Yuan into a corner!"

Sun Chengzong cursed under his breath, his heart filled with resentment that the Lu family members were too weak in combat.

Gou Zongdao's eyes were bloodshot, and he wished he could rush into the arena and devour Chen Yuan alive.

Qi Boheng was even more shocked, secretly amazed by Chen Yuan's rapid progress.

He is now more than ten times stronger than when he caused trouble in the refugee camp outside Tianqing County.

The battle continues.

It took all the efforts of the Lu family's top leaders to barely manage to re-surround Chen Yuan.

At this moment, Chen Yuan was like a trapped beast, fearless and launching a frenzied counterattack.

The ground beneath his feet was littered with severed limbs and broken arms.

"A bunch of useless trash! You couldn't even subdue a mere human brat, what use are you!"

"Whoever performs the most powerful act to kill him will be richly rewarded!"

Lu Sidao, with disheveled hair and bloodshot eyes, roared madly, his heart filled with both shock and rage.

Chen Yuan was far too ferocious; half of the thousands of members of the Lu family had already perished under his sword.

Moreover, the Heavenly Demon-Slaying Technique is naturally effective against beast races, making it a nemesis of all beast-like creatures!

The demonic and malevolent spirits within them, upon which they relied for cultivation, were suppressed by Chen Yuan's righteous aura, making it difficult for them to fully unleash their strength.

Lu Sidao was completely puzzled. How could Chen Yuan, at such a young age, possess such a powerful and righteous aura?

"They're all a bunch of useless trash!"

A cold, old man's voice rang out, and an old man with a human body and a rat's head suddenly appeared, rushing straight towards Chen Yuan, who was surrounded.

"Ancestor!"

Upon seeing the old man with the rat-like head, Lu Sidao's face lit up with joy.

boom!

The Lu family patriarch's body surged with black light, and a terrifying pressure swept across all directions.

call out!

He was enveloped in overwhelming murderous aura, and moved with lightning speed, rushing into the battlefield in an instant. He circled around to Chen Yuan's back, intending to launch a sneak attack!

Lu Sidao held his breath, eagerly anticipating his ancestor's successful strike.

But at that moment, a burly old man suddenly appeared and exchanged a palm strike with the Lu family patriarch from a distance.

The two immense forces collided, creating a violent shockwave that sent all the onlookers flying.

The Lu family patriarch and the burly old man both staggered backward, their retreating force carving a deep furrow into the thick ground.

All eyes turned to the burly old man who had suddenly appeared.

"Chen Qingtian, it's you!"

The Lu family patriarch's gaze sharpened, and he once again unleashed his full power, closing in step by step.

Lu Sidao breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Even though the family head Chen Qingcang did not appear, Chen Qingtian's actions meant that the Chen family's higher-ups had officially intervened in the matter.

"Is your Chen family planning to protect a murderer?"

The Lu family patriarch pressed forward relentlessly, his aura surging to the heavens, his tone icy and chilling.

What constitutes harboring a criminal?

Chen Qingtian snorted coldly, his tone laced with sarcasm, "You scum, fighting amongst yourselves in front of my Chen family's gates, are you saying our master can't even say a word?"

"Oh."

The Lu family patriarch wore a mocking expression, his eyes filled with barely concealed malice. "Then what do you want to say?"

Chen Qingtian, his beard and hair flying wildly, roared, "Get lost! Don't fucking fight here!"

The Lu family patriarch's face instantly turned ashen.
