Rage!
Utter rage!
Hong Yu's eyes were completely bloodshot. They seethed with furious flas, which morphed into raging Fire Dragons swirling within his pupils.
After finding his three rewards in the Royal Treasure Vault, he had lunch with Sister Qin.
Just as they finished eating, Sister Qin had wanted to catch up with him, but unfortunately, she was summoned by an edict from His Majesty the King of the Qin Kingdom.
So, Hong Yu took the opportunity to co back for a bit.
When he returned to Little Feng's room, however, he was t with a scene of utter chaos. The broken table, the burnt wooden bed, and the blood on the floor filled Hong Yu with a deep sense of unease. He imdiately enveloped the entire Beichen Mansion with the Spiritual Power he'd gained from his recent breakthrough.
And that was how he discovered all of Beichen Xin's vile acts at the Lotus Pond.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Hong Yu would never have believed a six or seven-year-old girl could possess such a venomous heart.
Especially when he heard Little Feng ask, "Did I do sothing wrong?"
Hong Yu instantly felt like his heart was breaking.
That's right!
'Did Little Feng do anything wrong?'
'He didn't do a single thing. How could he be in the wrong?'
'Besides…'
'Even if Little Feng had done sothing wrong, he's still just a child. Did he need to be punished like this? Tortured like this?'
And so, Hong Yu exploded with rage!
"Whoever dares to harm a single hair on Little Feng's head, I'll wipe out your entire clan!"
With a furious roar, Hong Yu's figure flashed like Thunder, and in a few leaps, he landed at the edge of the Lotus Pond.
Using his Dragon Roaming Body Technique to tread on air, he moved at a speed that the thugs, who were mostly at the Essence Realm, could not possibly guard against.
Hong Yu snapped the hand of the thug who was gripping Little Feng tightly and snatched the boy back.
Cradling Little Feng in his arms, Hong Yu took out a Rejuvenation Pill and had him swallow it. The pain in Little Feng's body gradually faded, but the desolate despair in his eyes remained jarringly conspicuous.
"Little Feng, are you okay?"
Hong Yu asked.
Little Feng shook his head and burrowed deeper into Hong Yu's embrace, as if seeking warmth and protection. He whispered, "Brother, can you take away from here? I want to leave. I don't want to stay here anymore."
"Okay, I'll take you away."
Hong Yu was stunned for a mont, then let out a soft sigh.
He held Little Feng and turned to leave.
However...
Beichen Xin spun around, a savage look twisting her face. "How audacious! You dare to ignore ? I'll kill you!"
As she spoke, Beichen Xin's long whip ca cracking toward them with a SWISH.
With his back to Beichen Xin, Hong Yu snorted coldly. A layer of Flowing Light shimred around his body, and the leather whip was instantly repelled, snapping back with a CRACK across Beichen Xin's face.
A bloody red welt was branded onto her fair cheek.
"Ah? AHH!"
A shrill, ear-piercing scream erupted. Beichen Xin pointed furiously at Hong Yu and Little Feng. "You're finished! I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you both and throw you into the Lotus Pond to feed the fish..."
"Go! Get them!"
"If you kill them both, I'll reward you handsoly! If anyone dares to shrink back, I will report you to my mother and have her punish you severely!"
At the ntion of Wang Fei, the hesitant thugs were instantly galvanized, surging forward with murderous intent.
To them, charging at Hong Yu would, at worst, earn them a beating.
But if they offended Beichen Xin and earned Wang Fei's ire, they would suffer a fate worse than death!
"I don't want to kill anyone in front of Little Feng. Get out of my way," Hong Yu said coldly.
"Hmph, it's not you who's going to be doing the killing. It's us who are going to kill you!"
"This is the Beichen Mansion! How dare an outsider like you act so outrageously?"
The thugs gritted their teeth.
Hong Yu glanced at Little Feng. "They hit you just now, didn't they?"
Little Feng nodded subconsciously, but then his eyes flickered with conflict. He sighed softly. "Brother, let's just go. I don't want to get you in trouble..."
"Little Feng, do you know?"
Hong Yu suddenly patted Little Feng's shoulder. Little Feng flinched, and Hong Yu continued, "There's a certain kind of person in this world. No matter how much you yield to them, they'll still charge at you like a rabid dog and take a bite. And they absolutely won't let go until you're dead. The only way to deal with people like that is to wipe them out completely!"
"Alright, Little Feng, close your eyes. Don't open them, understand?" Hong Yu said.
Little Feng, only half-understanding, humd in agreent and hugged Hong Yu tightly with his frail body.
Hong Yu took a deep breath and scanned the dozen or so thugs. "I was planning to spare your lives. But since you insist on forcing my hand, then today I don't mind using your blood to avenge Little Feng."
"Brat, you're too arrogant."
"You're courting death!"
The thugs flew into a rage and charged forward, seething with killing intent.
A cold light glinted in Hong Yu's eyes. Taking a deep breath, he used his Wandering Dragon Body Technique to surge forward.
Holding Little Feng with one arm, he shot out his other hand like lightning and seized one of the n by the neck. This was the thug who had just pulled Little Feng's ear. A vicious glint flashed in Hong Yu's eyes as his five fingers suddenly tightened.
CRACK!
Blood spilled from the man's mouth. His head lolled to one side, his life extinguished.
"Actually, I didn't want to kill anyone today. But since you're so eager to die, you can't bla !"
Hong Yu took another step forward. The thug before him now was the one who had just been holding Little Feng down.
With a cold glance, Hong Yu kicked out.
The kick landed squarely on the thug's chest. With a dull THUD, the shape of a footprint bulged out from the man's back, while his chest caved in, forming a perfectly matching indentation.
Hong Yu retracted his foot and continued forward.
The next thug to appear before him was the one who had fanned the flas and forced Little Feng to hide under the bed.
"Bullying the weak... deserves death!"
Hong Yu threw a punch.
The man's head exploded. He died a grueso death as blood pooled on the ground.
Hong Yu rushed forward again. The thug in front of him this ti had held Little Feng's head, waiting for Beichen Xin to smash it with the Heavy Hamr.
Seeing Hong Yu appear before him and glancing at the three corpses behind him, the man stamred in panic, "S-Spare ... I-I'll tell you who ca up with the idea... I-It was him..." He pointed at the Earth Soul Realm thug. "He was the one who gave the Young Miss the hamr and said they should play whack-a-mole with Young Master Feng..."
"Thank you for telling !"
A look of joy spread across the thug's face, but Hong Yu simply flicked a finger, sending a bolt of energy like a sharp arrow through the center of his forehead. It pierced straight through his skull. "It's just a sha. I said that anyone who hard Little Feng deserved to die!"
"You... you..."
The man collapsed, unwilling to accept his fate.
Hong Yu struck again. This ti, the one in his grasp was the Earth Soul Realm expert.
Seeing the Godslayer-like Hong Yu before him, the man's face turned deathly pale. He cried out, "N-No, don't kill ..."
Hong Yu's palm shot out and grabbed his neck.
Slightly raising his arm, he lifted the Earth Soul Realm expert high into the air, completely ignoring his struggles. "I believe Little Feng also told you not to hit him, didn't he?" Hong Yu said flatly. "Did you listen to him then?"
"I-I was just following orders..."
the thug shrieked.
Hong Yu glanced at Beichen Xin, who had already collapsed to the ground in fear. "I'll settle the score with her, too," he said faintly.
As soon as the words left his mouth, Hong Yu flung his arm, throwing the man into the Lotus Pond.
SPLASH! SPLASH!
The Man-eating Fish in the Lotus Pond sward him. The thug's screams were incessant but brief. In an instant, he was devoured completely, leaving only a skeleton to sink to the bottom of the pond.
"Demon! You're a Demon..."
"Run! This guy is a madman..."
The remaining thugs scread in terror and tried to flee.
But how could Hong Yu let them leave?
A pale blue light shot from his left eye—his Cyan Eye. The Ice Divine Blade split into several beams that simultaneously entered the bodies of the remaining thugs.
The expressions on their faces froze instantly. Then, they clutched their heads and began to scream endlessly.
Blood stread from all seven orifices as they were tornted to death by the pain.
One step, one kill!
Hong Yu's rage had reached its absolute peak.
He glanced at the bodies without a trace of pity. In his eyes, their suffering was insignificant compared to what Little Feng had endured.
Hong Yu walked over to Beichen Xin.
The once-arrogant Little Princess of the Beichen Family was now a panicked ss, cowering in a corner, hugging her knees, and trembling uncontrollably.
Her current appearance was a stark contrast to her earlier domineering and insolent deanor.
Hong Yu took a deep breath and patted Little Feng's shoulder. "Little Feng, I'll leave her to you!"
Hong Yu set Little Feng down on the ground.
He slowly opened his eyes and stared at Beichen Xin, a complex light flickering in his gaze.
'Does he hate her? He does!'
'But does he truly hate her? He feels like he doesn't!'
'In reality...'
'The young Little Feng didn't understand it himself, but it was his own kindness acting up.'
He looked at Hong Yu. "Brother, let's go! This place... isn't for !"
Seeing Little Feng's clear eyes glisten with unshed tears, and the stubborn way the little guy bit his lip to keep them from falling, made Hong Yu's nose sting.
He took a deep breath. "Alright, we'll go! If the Beichen Family won't have you, then you'll co live with !"
"Okay!"
Little Feng nodded earnestly.
At such a young age, he had wandered from place to place with his mother. Then, the mother he depended on had died from illness.
He had co here carrying his mother's dying wish to find his father, only to suffer such tornt and setbacks one after another before he could even et him.
Little Feng was truly in despair.
He squeezed his eyes shut, refusing to let the tears fall, and gritted his teeth. "I'm sorry, Mom. I couldn't do what you asked of ..."
Scooping up Little Feng, Hong Yu turned to leave.
However...
He had underestimated the venom in a certain young girl's heart.
The mont Beichen Xin saw Hong Yu turn his back, a blood-colored, chilling light flashed in her eyes. Her slender hand gripped a dagger that glinted with a sinister coldness.
This dagger actually bore a Bloodthirsty Rune, making it an extrely vicious Spirit-Level Primordial Weapon.
If an ordinary person were cut by this dagger, the wound would bleed ceaselessly until they died.
'How could Beichen Xin possess such a wicked weapon at such a young age?'
"Go to hell!"
Beichen Xin aid the dagger at Little Feng and lunged.
Hong Yu's heart sank. 'How could a little girl like Beichen Xin possibly hide from his senses?' Her actions thoroughly enraged him. He whipped around and kicked at her, roaring, "Get lost!"
Beichen Xin shrieked. The dagger clattered to the ground as her body was sent flying far away.
She was kicked more than ten ters through the air by Hong Yu, ending up snagged upside down on a branch hanging low over the Lotus Pond. As the branch swayed, the Man-eating Fish below leaped excitedly, splashing the water as they tried to reach their delicious al.
Beichen Xin's face was ashen with terror. She began to wail, "Help! Help ..."
Beichen Xin struggled and wailed. The branch that had snagged her clothes snapped with a loud CRACK. With one final scream of "AHHH!", her body plunged toward the ravenous school of Man-eating Fish in the Lotus Pond below...
