"I’m here to collect a debt!"
As Xiao Zheng got out of the car, he spoke with a smile.
His domineering presence imdiately changed the expressions of everyone in the Lu Family.
Lu Zhenyu was the first to react, looking at Xiao Zheng, trembling with anger: "Debt collection? Such arrogance! I don’t care who you are, trespassing on Xiunv Peak and crashing through our Lu Family’s gate; just one of these cris is enough for to kill you a thousand tis over!"
"Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Four Dead Soldiers, hear my command, slaughter this ignorant brat imdiately!"
He spoke with murderous intent.
If looks could kill, Xiao Zheng would have died a thousand tis under Lu Zhenyu’s fierce gaze.
With Lu Zhenyu’s order, the twelve death soldiers nurtured in secret by the Lu Family appeared in the courtyard. Their martial skills were formidable, beyond the abilities of common sects in the martial arts world to cultivate.
However, in Xiao Zheng’s eyes, this foundation was not worth any more than dog shit.
Xiao Zheng’s gaze swept over the twelve death soldiers, then fell on Lu Zhenyu: "It seems great minds think alike. You want to kill , and coincidentally, I want to kill you. And not just you, even that old man hiding in the back mountain; he must die too."
"You can sense the ancestor’s presence?" A glint of shock flashed in Lu Zhenyu’s eyes.
In response, Xiao Zheng sneered and said, "Is it that hard? A stench of decay I could sll from the foot of the mountain, even worse than that old man I killed in Zhonghai City before."
Upon hearing his words, Lu Zhenyu’s expression changed once more, asking in horror: "The old man you ntioned, could he be the Ghost King?"
"Probably, I recall him calling himself that." Xiao Zheng said with a smile.
The Lu Family gasped.
They were the most aware of the Ghost King’s strength, yet this young man claid to have killed him. So timid Lu Family mbers began to fear Xiao Zheng.
Lu Zhenyu slowly regained his composure, and after staring at Xiao Zheng for a long ti, he suddenly sneered: "I know who you are now; the Evil God has graced us with his presence. Our Lu Family truly failed to welco you properly."
"Stop with the useless chatter; those heads of yours will soon be mine," Xiao Zheng said with a smile, his heart filled with murderous intent.
Lu Zhenyu instinctively took a step back, terrified.
Only when he sensed the mockery in Xiao Zheng’s eyes did he realize his own sha and anger, saying: "Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Four Dead Soldiers, attack! What good is the Evil God? Today, this will be your burial ground!"
Upon receiving orders, the four death soldiers finally made their move.
Each employed techniques remarkably similar to those of the Ghost King. As they acted, a chilling sinister aura spread, filled with hideous evil ghosts roaring amidst the dark energy.
"Petty tricks."
Xiao Zheng said slowly, then a spear, manifested from Gang Qi, appeared in his hand once more.
With a sweep of the spear, the terrible force shattered the dark aura.
Xiao Zheng then moved as if unopposed, thrusting the spear casually forward, taking the lives of three death soldiers in an instant. This was because he held back, not wanting to end the ga too quickly; otherwise, one spear could kill all twelve.
"I wonder how long you can hide, old turtle."
Xiao Zheng glanced at the back mountain, smirking coldly inside.
To force out the Lu Family ancestor, his attacks grew even more fierce. In his hands, the spear wielded like a True Dragon, its tip a gleaming cold light, splattering blood across the battlefield.
Among the remaining nine death soldiers, six fell at Xiao Zheng’s hands!
The final three resisted stubbornly!
Witnessing this, Lu Zhenyu felt a surge of fear. But with the ancestor yet to appear, he did not plan to flee. After all, though Xiao Zheng was formidable, the ancestor might still have a chance to kill him.
With three more spurts of blood, the last three death soldiers fell to Xiao Zheng’s spear.
After eliminating all the death soldiers, he swung his spear, its tip aid directly at Lu Zhenyu’s throat. Lu Zhenyu turned pale with fear, yet found himself unable to move, watching the spear’s tip inch toward him.
Just as Lu Zhenyu was about to wet his pants, the spear’s tip stopped an inch from his throat.
Though spared, he was scared half to death.
Seeing Lu Zhenyu’s terrified expression, Xiao Zheng shook his head and said, "I intended to spare your life, but you’re a waste with no value."
At his words, Lu Zhenyu tried to cry for help.
But before he could speak, his throat was pierced by Xiao Zheng’s spear!
"The family head is dead!"
"Everyone, run! Escape to the back mountain!"
"If the ancestor acts, we can all survive!"
With Lu Zhenyu’s death, the Lu Family panicked, fleeing in all directions before Xiao Zheng could act. This scene would surely astonish other prestigious families in Jiangnan Province.
After all, the Lu Family had ruled Jiangnan Province for years; few had seen them so frightened.
All this impossibility was due to Xiao Zheng alone!
"Run, all of you, into the back mountain."
"Without your lives, I wouldn’t know how to flush out that turtle hiding inside."
Xiao Zheng held the spear, letting the Lu Family flee before him.
As for himself, he walked step by step toward the back mountain.
This leisurely deanor made it seem he was on a leisurely tour rather than a killing spree.
The Lu Family finally reached the back mountain.
Xiao Zheng arrived too.
He watched as they escaped into the valley entrance, soon hearing their screams. The mountain wind carried a heavy scent of blood.
Thump!
A dried corpse flew out of the valley, landing at Xiao Zheng’s feet.
Soon, a second corpse followed.
A third, a fourth...
Xiao Zheng glanced at the corpses, surprised to discover these were the people who’d just fled inside. Knowing their identities, his curiosity about the dark valley deepened.
Soone walked out of the valley slowly.
He had a youthful face, surrounded by demonic aura.
Xiao Zheng only glanced at him, a mocking smile appearing at the corner of his mouth!
