"Dad... why... why?" Matthew asked, his face filled with shock and pain.
Ma Wenhua’s eyes were brimming with sorrow and regret, but he quickly regained his composure and said calmly, "Because you brought doom upon our Ma Family! And because, as your father, I don’t want you to suffer unbearable torture at the hands of our enemies!"
As he spoke, Ma Wenhua suddenly pulled out a dagger. Matthew’s eyes imdiately lost their light, and he fell lifelessly to the ground.
"One wrong step leads to another..."
Ma Wenhua looked at the lifeless body of his son, Matthew, on the ground. Then he turned to Ye Fei, who stood before him like an unparalleled God of Killing, and took a deep breath before saying, "I thought I had planned everything out perfectly, yet I never expected you, Ye Fei, to be this powerful. Even Master Wei is no match for you! I regret it. Our Ma Family should never have provoked you!"
"Regret? It’s too late now!"
Ye Fei said indifferently, "You may die now."
"Die? Haha! I will die, of course! But do you think destroying our Ma Family will leave you unscathed?"
Ma Wenhua laughed hysterically, reaching for the edge of the round table and pressing a button.
Suddenly, a screen popped out from the round table.
On the screen appeared a middle-aged man.
Ma Wenhua’s expression twisted as he snarled, "I’m hiring you to kill soone. The reward will be all the wealth of our Ma Family!"
"Oh, all the wealth of your Ma Family? That’s no small sum. Tell , who do you want dead?" the middle-aged man on the screen said with a grin.
Upon hearing this, Ma Wenhua imdiately turned the screen towards Ye Fei and shouted, "Him! Ye Fei of Su Province! Kill him! The reward will be all the assets of our Ma Family, yours for Blood Kill to claim!"
Blood Kill?
Ye Fei frowned as he heard Ma Wenhua’s words and glanced at the man on the screen.
During the Soul Search on the assassin sent by Demon King Hall, Ye Fei had learned that China also had assassin groups, among which Blood Kill was the most famous.
In fact, Demon King Hall initially sought Blood Kill to assassinate him, but for so unknown reason, Blood Kill declined.
Who would have thought that the na Blood Kill would resurface within the Ma Family.
Before Ye Fei could finish his thoughts, the man on the screen suddenly exclaid, "Ye Fei? Holy crap! Your Ma Family wants us, Blood Kill, to assassinate Ye Fei?"
"Yes! Exactly! Doesn’t Blood Kill brag about being able to kill anyone? Kill him, and all of our Ma Family’s wealth is yours!"
Ma Wenhua sneered coldly at Ye Fei with twisted laughter, "Ye Fei, this is the price you pay for destroying our Ma Family! I’ve been prepared for this! Our Ma Family is dood, but you won’t be spared either. Prepare to face endless assassins hunting you! Hahaha..."
"Hahaha my ass!"
Ma Wenhua’s manic laughter was abruptly interrupted as the man on the screen cursed, "Your Ma Family is a bunch of morons; don’t drag us Blood Kill down with you, alright?"
"Uh... What do you an by this? Doesn’t Blood Kill claim to kill anyone?" Ma Wenhua asked, visibly stunned.
"That cos with a caveat, understand?"
The man replied irritably, "Blood Kill absolutely does not touch people ranked in the top three of the Blood Slaughter Bounty List. We wouldn’t dare!"
"Top three of the Blood Kill list?"
Ma Wenhua froze upon hearing this, clearly aware of the infamous list. He gasped, "You an... You an he is in the top three of the Blood Kill list?"
"Top three? What are you even talking about? Ye Fei is ranked number one on the Blood Kill list! Such an unrivaled powerhouse, and your Ma Family dares to provoke him? You’re out of your damn minds!"
The man straightened up and bowed respectfully toward Ye Fei through the screen. Then the connection abruptly went black, showing that the man on the other end had terminated the call.
Ma Wenhua stared blankly at the blackened screen, paralyzed where he stood.
"Why! Why are you ranked first on the Blood Kill list? Why!"
Staring at the pitch-black screen, Ma Wenhua’s face remained filled with disbelief.
If Master Wei was the Ma Family’s trump card, then Blood Kill was Ma Wenhua’s ultimate strategy!
As the Family Head, watching the destruction of his bloodline, he had long prepared to go down in flas.
But what was this now?
Blood Kill won’t even grant him the chance to drag others down with him, cutting off all communication instead?
"I hate this!"
Ma Wenhua wailed toward the heavens before slumping weakly to the ground.
In this mont, he regretted it!
He regretted ever indulging his son’s whims in provoking Ye Fei. Even surrendering all the Ma Family’s wealth would have been better than total annihilation!
But such regrets were obviously far too late!
Ye Fei calmly waved his hand, walking toward the door as black Demon Flas suddenly ignited from thin air, engulfing the entire hall.
The Ma Family mbers finally reacted, staring in shock at the blaze consuming the Ma Family mansion. They tried to flee outside but found the doors were inexplicably sealed shut and couldn’t be opened.
As for Ma Wenhua, the Family Head of the Ma Family, he slumped helplessly in the hall, completely engulfed by the Demon Flas.
Outside the mansion.
Watching the raging flas, hearing the chorus of screams, and seeing Ye Fei walk out through the doors, his figure illuminated by the Demon Flas, he appeared like a true Demon King.
A middle-aged man standing outside trembled uncontrollably.
He was a major figure in the Southern Province, the Family Head of the Jiang Family, and the father of Jiang Yushuang!
Known as the strongest below the Innate Realm—Jiang Yuanzheng!
This ti, after months of seclusion, he had finally erged. Though he had not yet broken into the Innate Realm, his strength had greatly improved.
Only a thin veil separated him from reaching the Innate Realm!
Upon hearing that Uncle Xu had been killed by Ye Fei and hundreds of Jiang Family mbers had been annihilated, Jiang Yuanzheng was filled with fury and was planning to visit the Ye Family to exact revenge!
As for Ye Fei’s reputation, Jiang Yuanzheng had heard rumors of the young Martial King.
But in the end, hearing alone lends itself to uncertainty. Now, as a Half-step Innate expert bolstered by his foundation as the strongest below the Innate Realm, he felt confident in settling scores with Ye Fei!
Yet, before he could act, he sensed the overwhelming energy emanating from the Ma Family’s fierce battle.
Ye Fei’s clash with seven Innate Martial King puppets was happening close to the Jiang Family, and it was impossible for Jiang Yuanzheng to ignore such a presence.
But when he arrived at the Ma Family, the scene shocked him to his core!
Ye Fei’s steely gaze fell upon him, and Jiang Yuanzheng’s body instantly trembled as he dropped to his knees, bowing respectfully, "Greetings, Martial King!"
"You must be Jiang Yuanzheng?"
Ye Fei surveyed the Peak Hua Realm aura emanating from Jiang Yuanzheng’s body and remarked indifferently.
"Indeed!" Jiang Yuanzheng nodded hastily, his heart racing with relief.
It was fortunate that his idea to confront Ye Fei was just a fleeting thought, yet undeveloped—he had been drawn to the Ma Family’s dramatic battle.
Facing Ye Fei’s overwhelming presence and the sight of the Ma Family annihilated by Demon Flas, Jiang Yuanzheng understood that if he had erged from seclusion earlier and ventured to confront Ye Fei, he might now be sharing the Ma Family’s fate!
eting Ye Fei’s emotionless yet commanding gaze, Jiang Yuanzheng quickly said, "The Ma Family brought this upon themselves! I, Jiang Yuanzheng, shall take this as my warning and ensure that the families of the Southern Province pledge allegiance to Mr. Ye moving forward!"
"I hope so."
Ye Fei responded with detached calm, his figure disappearing into thin air without leaving a single trace.
Witnessing Ye Fei vanish so suddenly, Jiang Yuanzheng’s heart was overco with even greater dread.
