The heavy snow was still falling.
On a day like this, Luo Yunhai should have been sitting in a pavilion wearing a heavy coat, brewing tea while admiring the snow. Perhaps he would have even invited a friend for a few rounds of chess.
However, what were powerful and influential families in the face of absolute strength? Utterly defenseless.
This battle had left Luo Yunhai profoundly shaken, and he could only laugh mockingly at himself.
Perhaps this is what people an when they say that as long as you can't blot out the sky with a single hand, you'll eventually et your match? That must be it.
Luo Yunhai reflected with bitter self-mockery, his gaze falling upon the group of top Fist Masters he had hired at great expense. Ever since Chen Yang had made his move—delivering two kicks and a single question—these n hadn't dared to budge.
To put it nicely, they were observing the situation. But in reality? They had long since lost their nerve, scared witless. If they weren't so uncertain of Chen Yang's intentions, they probably would have already turned tail and fled.
Only a fool knowingly walks into disaster!
Perhaps finding the wait tedious, Chen Yang lowered his head and gently stomped his foot.
BOOM!
A deafening roar followed as the hall's floor violently exploded. Dust billowed half a ter into the air, and the exquisitely carved coffin was blasted to smithereens along with it.
***
By now, it was already ten-thirty.
Aside from another muffled bang from within, there was no other movent from the highly-watched Luo Family estate. Hundreds of people had been waiting since early morning, braving the wind and snow. As the hours passed, they all grew more certain of their speculation: the Luo Family, despite their grand display, had truly t with disaster.
Fortunately, news began to spread via mobile phones.
According to those with insider information, the Forr Chief Military Commander had indeed arrived. He dealt with one group of people on behalf of those girls, then produced a list and dealt with another.
"Luo Yunhai was scared completely stiff, and Young Master Luo Chen's coffin was stomped to smithereens..."
"The so-called experts they hired to hold down the fort didn't dare let out a single fart the entire ti."
"But rumor has it that Luo Yunhai's greatest trump card is the imperial clan, and they are about to arrive."
As these scattered bits of news erged, not just the street, but all of Cangyun City was in an uproar.
Just what kind of existence was the Luo Family? For such a top-tier, powerful family to be so thoroughly humiliated, unable to even see a funeral through to its end. If the news wasn't absolutely reliable, who would believe it?
So ti had passed since the last incident with the imperial clan, and most had thought the matter concluded. But now, it was clear that it was far from over.
The wind fills the tower before the mountain storm arrives.
Far from showing any sign of clarity, the situation was only escalating. The Luo Family had lost all face, true, but if the imperial clan got involved, who could predict the final outco?
THUD. THUD. THUD.
Suddenly, a large troop of n advanced with heavy steps. The sound bood like rolling thunder, and with each footfall, the very ground seed to tremble. A dense mass of figures appeared at the end of the main road, their presence emanating an overwhelming pressure that enveloped the entire scene.
"Is that... are the mbers of the imperial clan here?"
"They look like they're from the Antarctic Imperial Clan! That's a terrifying number of people!"
A wave of fear swept over the crowd, leaving them fretful and anxious. Although everyone knew Luo Yunhai had another card to play, no one expected the Antarctic Imperial Clan to arrive with such formidable montum.
Then again, upon further reflection, it made sense.
In the last battle, Sovereign Dugu had died, and the Antarctic Sovereign, Tang Jinyuan, had been gravely injured. Chen Yang was the only prodigy in this mortal world who had a chance to break through to the level of Divine Conquest. With such enmity between them, one side was destined for destruction.
"You got lucky and escaped last ti, but this ti, not even a Daluo Golden Immortal descending to Earth could save your damn life!"
From within the ranks of the Antarctic Imperial Clan, soone threw out a sentence brimming with killing intent and extre mockery, eliciting a round of hearty laughter. Dozens of imperial clan experts swept their mocking gazes across the surroundings before finally fixing their eyes on the Luo Family Estate before them.
Following that, a middle-aged man at the head of the formation barked harshly, "Chen Yang, your cris are heinous! Your very existence is a desecration and violation of this mortal world. You cannot be allowed to live."
"Our Great Elder will personally kill you! If you know what's good for you, kneel down obediently. Perhaps we'll even leave you a complete corpse."
In an instant, the entire main thoroughfare fell silent.
From the sound of it, the imperial clan was casting aside all concerns about seniority, preparing for the strong to bully the weak. The imperial clan had already suffered a heavy blow. This Great Elder must therefore be the strongest remaining warrior of the Antarctic Imperial Clan. If he made a move, could Chen Yang possibly survive?
In the center of the formation, an old man with snow-white hair and a beard was ditating with his eyes closed, and everyone around him treated him with reverence. It was none other than Tang Likun, the Great Elder of the Antarctic Imperial Clan.
With a cold snort, Tang Likun's wrinkled, bark-like eyelids snapped open. A cold glint in his eyes, as sharp as a blade, pierced the swirling wind and snow.
CLANG!
A massive broadsword was drawn from its sheath.
WHOOSH.
With a powerful throw of his right hand, a cold light flashed. The broadsword tore through the air, transforming into a dazzling streak of light aid straight for the Luo Family Ancestral Mansion.
"BWAHAHA!!"
Luo Yunhai's earlier dejection and lethargy vanished. His eyes flashed as he let out a savage laugh. "You little bastard, did you hear that? The imperial clan is here! You won't escape today, even if you sprouted wings!"
Luo Yunhai seed to have gone mad, pointing at Chen Yang and roaring, "You're celebrating too early! Do you rember how you treated just now? I will return it to you a thousandfold, ten thousandfold! You can't even begin to imagine the influence I, Luo Yunhai, command!"
anwhile, the scene grew restless. After glancing around, the hired experts could no longer remain still.
"What you've done today has gone too far, Chen Yang," one of them said. "Even as the Forr Chief Military Commander, you can't just be so bloodthirsty. Does this an you can kill whover you please from now on?"
"Listen to our advice and surrender obediently," another added. "Don't make this any uglier than it has to be."
Seeing the tide turn, these n who had remained silent all this ti began to speak up one by one, all pointing their fingers at Chen Yang. At this stage, their goal wasn't to earn rit, but simply to avoid fault.
Of course, the selfish and dark side of human nature was on full display at that mont.
Chen Yang smiled but remained silent.
In the next second, however, Chen Yang suddenly whipped his head around, his eyes catching a cold gleam streaking from the horizon.
SWISH.
Chen Yang sprang into action, grabbing the three girls and Yang Hu and yanking them to the side.
Almost simultaneously, a sharp, ear-piercing sonic boom echoed through the air.
Before the crowd could react—
BOOM!!
The massive blade descended from the sky. The entire hall's roof instantly vanished, obliterated. The ground ruptured, sending countless fragnts of rock and clouds of dust into the air.
Smoke and dust billowed, obscuring the sky. Then, cries of agony rose from all directions.
When the dust finally settled, a massive war blade was deeply embedded in the ground at the hall's entrance. More than half of the Luo Family Estate had been destroyed in that single blow. The entire area was a wreck, looking as if it had been plowed over.
"No, no!!" Luo Yunhai scread, climbing out from the rubble. His body was streaked with blood and his hair was a ss as he yelled in desperation, "How could you attack indiscriminately? This is my Luo Family!"
