Before Du Yuntao could finish speaking, Du Min sneered dismissively, "That little bastard’s strength indeed exceeded my expectations, but back then, there was only Elder Liu. Now, it’s the entire Hao Family!"
"In the Hao Family, there are more than fifty elders like Elder Liu! How could that little bastard possibly survive?"
"This..."
Du Yuntao listened to Du Min’s words and was at a loss for a rebuttal. After all, as Hao Jian’s wife and the Young Madam of the Hao Family, Du Min naturally knew far more about martial artists than he did.
After so pondering, Du Yuntao finally smiled slightly and said, "Alright then! Let’s go witness that brat’s demise! If he really dies, then our Du Family can rise to beco a powerful family, like the Jiang Family!"
"The Jiang Family?"
Du Min sneered arrogantly and said, "The Jiang Family is nothing! Dad, your vision needs to be broader. With the Hao Family backing us, our Du Family can dominate both Su Province and Southern Province completely!"
"But the Jiang Family still has Lord Jiang Manor!" Du Yuntao shook his head.
"Jiang Yuanzheng? The Hao Family has plenty of people like Jiang Yuanzheng!"
Du Min sneered sinisterly and said, "If the Jiang Family doesn’t behave, after wiping out the Ye Family, we can annihilate their Jiang Family as well!"
Saying this, Du Min imdiately grabbed her father and gleefully headed toward the hall ahead.
The Hao Family, as the dominant martial arts family in Zhongzhou, had a rather massive estate.
Thus, it took the Du father and daughter quite a while to reach the hall’s rear entrance.
Sensing the silence in the hall ahead, Du Min imdiately pushed open the door and exclaid with a grin, "Dad, hubby, that little bastard is dead... Ah!!!!"
Before she could finish speaking, Du Min let out a shrill scream, utterly shocked by the scene before her.
As Du Yuntao stepped in behind her, his legs buckled, and he nearly collapsed on the spot.
For within the hall, the Hao Family elders, whom Du Min thought of as undefeatable, lay sprawled across the floor in grotesque positions.
Judging from their mangled appearances, they were unmistakably dead!
And the Patriarch of the Hao Family, Hao Zhiyuan — Du Min’s father-in-law.
At this mont, he knelt on the ground, his eyes lifeless, his entire being resembling a dried corpse.
In front of him, Ye Fei slowly lowered his hand, his face calm and serene as he turned his gaze coldly toward Du Min.
"You... you... what are you doing?"
Du Min stared at Ye Fei — whom she had believed to be dead — standing intact before her and looking her way. In that instant, she felt as though she couldn’t breathe.
"What am I doing?"
Ye Fei chuckled lightly and replied, "Killing people, of course."
"Kill... killing? Are you saying... that you killed all these elders and... and the Hao Patriarch as well?" Du Min trembled as she spoke.
But the next instant, she fervently shook her head, "Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! How could you possibly kill the Hao Family elders and the Patriarch? I don’t believe it! I refuse to believe it! This must be an illusion!"
"Yes, it must be an illusion! Hahaha! I worked so hard to get rid of that slut and beco the Young Madam of the Hao Family. How could the Hao Family be destroyed by a little bastard like you? I don’t believe it! I don’t believe it!"
As she spoke, Du Min frantically clutched her hair, resembling a crazed woman.
anwhile, her father, Du Yuntao, knelt numbly on the ground, murmuring to himself, "The Hao Family is finished... The Du Family... The Du Family is finished too..."
At this mont, a young woman seed to sense sothing and suddenly rushed into the hall—none other than Du Yue, the Du Family’s second daughter, who once encountered Ye Fei in Southern Province and was shaken by his palm strike.
Seeing her sister Du Min in a frenzy and her father Du Yuntao in a stupor, Du Yue hurriedly ran to them, crying out, "Sister! Dad! What’s wrong with you two?"
But no matter how she shouted, Du Min and Du Yuntao—one deranged, the other dazed—completely ignored her.
Watching this scene, Ye Fei turned and walked away.
Du Yue scread with rage as she saw this and shouted, "Ye Fei! Stop right there!"
"What is it, Miss Du? Do you have sothing to say?" Ye Fei asked indifferently.
"You... you did this to my sister and my dad, you..."
Du Yue sobbed uncontrollably as tears stread down, unable to articulate her words.
But Ye Fei showed no trace of compassion and said coldly, "Back in Tianxing City, I already told you. You overestimate yourself, not realizing that before , you’re rely ants, easily crushed under my hand."
"Pitiful people must have their detestable qualities! Since you dared provoke , you should prepare to face destruction at my hands!"
"Demon! You’re a demon! You’ll face retribution sooner or later!" Du Yue hissed through clenched teeth, shouting fiercely.
"A demon, you say?"
Ye Fei burst into laughter upon hearing Du Yue’s words and replied, "If it ans protecting the ones I must protect—my family, my friends—then becoming a demon? Why not?"
With this, Ye Fei stomped his foot fiercely and strode out of the Hao Family’s estate.
As Ye Fei departed, a thunderous rumble was heard, and the ground trembled!
The Hao Family!
The martial arts family standing tall in Zhongzhou for a century collapsed in ruins, leaving only Du Yue kneeling at what remained of the Hao Family’s grand hall, her gaze vacant...
"Did you hear? The Hao Family in Zhongzhou was wiped out!"
"What? Impossible! The Hao Family might not have top-tier experts, but it has countless Hua Realm elders. Who could accomplish such a feat?"
"Who else? Mr. Ye, of course!"
"Mr... Mr. Ye? Oh my god! What happened exactly?"
"I heard that the Hao Family, biting off more than they could chew, visited Mr. Ye’s relatives to humiliate them. In response, Mr. Ye stord Zhongzhou alone and annihilated the Hao Family’s vaunted elders in one move, wiping out the Hao Family completely!"
"Just for humiliating his relatives, he wiped out an entire family? That’s... That’s beyond ruthless!"
Such conversations spread like wildfire, resounding across the entire Chinese Cultivation World!
The Hao Family’s extermination struck fear far greater than the previous destruction of the Ma Family!
After all, martial arts families differed significantly from ordinary wealthy clans!
As news of the Hao Family’s downfall swept across sects and martial families, though many exclaid about Ye Fei’s tyranny, a sense of dread took root in their hearts.
Orders were swiftly issued: not only should Ye Fei never be provoked, but neither should his family. Violating this would result in eternal expulsion from the sect!
That day, Ye Fei annihilated the Hao Family, shaking the Chinese Cultivation World!
In the Ji Family of Yunzhou Province.
In the Ji Family’s backyard, a young man was wielding a long sword, tracing magnificent arcs in the air.
At his side, a slightly older man watched with a smile of approval and said, "Haowu, your Taiyi Sword technique has improved greatly recently!"
"That’s all thanks to your guidance, Senior Brother Lu!"
The young man, Haowu—the Hao Family’s second son—laughed while wiping his sweat and said, "If not for your recomndation, I would still be a doorman here in the Ji Family. I wouldn’t have had the chance to train in the Taiyi Sword!"
"Haha, that’s also because of your solid foundation! Although the Hao Family kept a low profile, its Wind-controlling Fist is an excellent technique for honing fundantal skills. It makes your moves so fluid. Combined with your inherent talent, you’ll undoubtedly beco one of Ji Family’s core disciples in due ti... No, wait, you’re already a core disciple! After all, the woman you’re going to marry bears the Ji surna!" Senior Brother Lu said with envy.
They were both recruited disciples of the Ji Family; in other words, guards and enforcers!
Yet being enforcers for the illustrious Ji Family was more prestigious than being the head of an ordinary clan, so martial artist families sent their mbers here in droves every year.
