Chapter 24

*Gag~*

Finally, someone vomited.

Jiang Chen stood with his sword, blood droplets continuously falling from the blade. His face was indifferent, as if all of this was commonplace. It was hard to imagine that a fifteen-year-old boy could have such a calm demeanor and such ruthless means.

Many people looked at Jiang Chen as if they were seeing a devil.

The younger generation of the Murong family, including Murong Ying, all had pale faces. They looked at Jiang Chen, unsure of what to feel. Not long ago, Jiang Chen was merely an object of their disdain, a wastrel among the young generation of Tianxiang City. But now, everything had changed too quickly.

"This little brat has actually advanced to the Qi Sea Realm."

Murong Zhan was greatly alarmed. Jiang Chen's advancement to the Qi Sea Realm surprised him, but what surprised him even more was Jiang Chen's strength. The person killed just now was a mid-stage Qi Sea Realm expert, yet he couldn't withstand a single strike from Jiang Chen.

"Haha, Murong Zhan, who knows who will die today."

Jiang Zhenhai laughed heartily. Jiang Chen's dominance exceeded his expectations. Now, he finally understood where Jiang Chen's confidence came from—it was the confidence of strength.

"Three of you, attack together and kill him."

Murong Zhan ordered the other three Qi Sea Realm experts. In a one-on-one fight, he might be the only one capable of dealing with Jiang Chen.

"Kill him."

Jiang Zhenhai roared, unleashing his peak late-stage Qi Sea Realm combat power, engaging Murong Zhan in battle. For a moment, neither had the upper hand.

"Kill!"

The Jiang family's elite guards launched their attack. Jiang Chen's single strike that killed a mid-stage Qi Sea Realm expert boosted their morale. They fought like wolves and tigers, clashing with the Murong family. The Murong family, despite having a few more Qi Sea Realm experts, was left with a deep shadow in their hearts due to Jiang Chen's ruthlessness. Their morale was clearly inferior to the Jiang family's.

"Attack together."

The three Qi Sea Realm experts surrounded Jiang Chen in a pincer formation. Their yuan energy oscillated, beginning to凝聚 their powerful combat techniques.

"You guys, even if there were a hundred of you, you'd still die."

Jiang Chen's lips curled into a cold smile.

Suddenly, Jiang Chen moved. His figure blurred, and he disappeared from his original spot. In the next instant, he appeared in front of an old man, his sword already piercing through the old man's head, entering from the front and exiting from the back.

The old man's eyes were wide open, unable to die in peace, as he never saw how Jiang Chen made his move.

"Roar, Surging Palm!"

At the same time, the mid-stage Qi Sea Realm expert attacked. He used all his strength to strike a palm, carrying the momentum of surging rivers. The early-stage Qi Sea Realm expert also didn't dare to slack off. Jiang Chen's dominance terrified them. If they didn't attack together, their fate would be the same as the other two.

*Whoosh whoosh...*

The early-stage Qi Sea Realm expert launched a series of golden lights, each like a sharp sword, forming a golden net that enveloped Jiang Chen. The two attacks came from both sides, perfectly coordinated.

Unfortunately, they were facing Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen didn't even pull out the sword that had pierced the old man's head. Facing the two attacks, he casually pointed at the early-stage Qi Sea Realm expert.

*Whoosh!*

A golden light shot out, like a golden meteor, moving at an extreme speed.

*Bang bang bang...*

The golden light from Jiang Chen's point collided with the golden net, sparking a large amount of sparks. However, under Jiang Chen's golden light, the golden net was completely shattered.

*Pfft!*

A sound of a piercing, the golden light penetrated the old man's body, passing through his heart, and he died on the spot.

On the other side, the mid-stage Qi Sea Realm expert's Surging Palm was approaching. The dragon pattern in Jiang Chen's Qi Sea oscillated, and a terrifying force surged like a tide. Jiang Chen suddenly punched, striking the old man.

*Boom!*

The light from the Surging Palm shattered upon impact.

*Crack!*

The two fists collided. In terms of physical strength and power, they were not in the same league. The old man's arm was shattered like foam by Jiang Chen's punch, blood spraying out, and bone fragments scattered on the ground.

*Ah...*

Such intense pain, even with the old man's mid-stage Qi Sea Realm cultivation and mental fortitude, he couldn't help but let out a piercing scream.

"Die!"

Jiang Chen, like a devil from hell, grabbed the old man's neck and twisted it with a sudden force, silencing the scream. The old man's body slid to the ground.

In less than a minute, four Qi Sea Realm experts were all killed by Jiang Chen. Not one of them could withstand a single move from him, completely annihilated.

"What?"

Murong Zhan, who was battling Jiang Zhenhai, roared with bloodshot eyes. He never expected such an outcome. Four Qi Sea Realm experts, his heart was bleeding. These experts were the foundation of the Murong family.

"Kill..."

The Jiang family's elite guards roared, like they were on a high, raising their weapons to attack the Murong family. The Murong family members were ashen-faced. How could they continue fighting? The Qi Sea Realm experts were all dead, Murong Zhan was held back by Jiang Zhenhai, and there was still a terrifying devil on this side.

*Pfft...*

The entrance of the Murong family's mansion turned into a hell of slaughter. Blood and weapons intertwined, killing intent and screams filled the air. In just a few minutes, it turned into a one-sided massacre. The Murong family had no power to fight back, and two of their young geniuses were already dead.

The Murong family's assets, under the strong attack of Zhou Beichen, could no longer hold out. At the Murong residence, Murong Zhan was held back by Jiang Zhenhai, the four Qi Sea Realm experts were killed by Jiang Chen, and the rest became lambs awaiting slaughter, with no resistance.

In a battle, morale is always the most important. Once morale is lost, victory is lost.

"I won't fight anymore, I surrender."

"I also surrender."

"Don't kill me."

The Murong family members screamed.

Death is a terrifying thing, especially for those who have never experienced it and are on the brink of death. The edge of death often shatters a person's mind.

Surrender is also contagious. One person surrenders, and a hundred will follow. No one wants to give up the hope of living. Although they didn't know if surrendering would save them, they knew that not surrendering now meant immediate death.

*Swish!*

The Jiang family's elite guards surrounded the surrendering Murong family members, waiting for Jiang Chen's orders.

On the other side, Jiang Zhenhai and Murong Zhan also stopped. Jiang Zhenhai was in a daze, never expecting the battle to end so quickly.

"Jiang Chen, let them go."

Murong Zhan's eyes were bloodshot.

"Murong Zhan, there are many of your descendants here. With just one order from me, they will all die. I will then invade your Murong family, kill everyone who can breathe, and burn this estate to ashes. What do you think?"

Jiang Chen said calmly, as if talking about something ordinary.

"No."

Murong Zhan screamed. In his eyes, this young man was too terrifying, too terrifying. He had never seen anyone with such ruthless and cruel means.

He didn't even dare to doubt the truth of Jiang Chen's words, because Jiang Chen's eyes were too calm. With such eyes, not only could he burn the Murong family to ashes, but he wouldn't even blink at the slaughter of an entire city.

"Jiang Chen, I lost. Let my descendants go, and I am willing to die."

Murong Zhan closed his eyes in pain. He never thought he would have such a day, and he never thought it would come so quickly. One moment he was shining, the next he was reduced to fish and meat on a chopping block.

Tianxiang City was in chaos, and the Murong family's foundation would soon be destroyed. The battle here was one-sided. Murong Zhan knew he had lost, completely and utterly.

"You must die, and this cannot be a condition to exchange for their lives."

Jiang Chen said.

"Jiang Chen, what do you want? Must you exterminate everyone?"

Murong Zhan had never felt so terrified by anyone.

"Exterminate everyone? This is a game of life and death. If the situation were reversed today, and you, Murong Zhan, had the upper hand, wouldn't you exterminate my Jiang family? The answer is yes. Everyone understands the principle of cutting off the roots. Moreover, you wanted to use the Li family's power to destroy my Jiang family, which is also extermination, isn't it?"

Jiang Chen said.

"Haha, that's right. If the situation were reversed, I would also exterminate everyone. Jiang Chen, you won, but I still beg you to spare my descendants."

Murong Zhan laughed, knowing everything was over. With Jiang Chen's means, even if the Li family came now, they couldn't save him.

"Murong Zhan, I know you hate me and wish to eat my flesh. Now, I'll give you a chance. If you can defeat me, I will consider not killing them."

Jiang Chen said.

"Chen, no."

Jiang Zhenhai quickly said. In his view, the situation was already decided, and Jiang Chen didn't need to take this risk. Although Jiang Chen could easily kill mid-stage Qi Sea Realm experts, he had just advanced to the Qi Sea Realm. Murong Zhan was not comparable to a mid-stage Qi Sea Realm expert; he was almost at the Human Core stage.

"Father, it's fine."

Jiang Chen smiled. He wanted to fight Murong Zhan, not out of impulse. He had just advanced to the Qi Sea Realm and urgently needed to test his combat strength. Murong Zhan was undoubtedly the best choice.

"Jiang Chen, are you serious?"

Murong Zhan's eyes lit up, as if he saw hope. The faces of the surrounded Murong family members, including Murong Ying, also rekindled a glimmer of hope. They were terrified of Jiang Chen, but they were very confident in Murong Zhan's strength.

"Of course."

Jiang Chen shrugged, his face filled with confidence.

"Good, let me see how strong you really are."

Murong Zhan's aura surged, but he was inwardly sneering. Young people are always young and impetuous, not knowing their limits.

This is a great opportunity. If he could kill Jiang Chen in the battle, Jiang Zhenhai would be heartbroken, and there might still be a chance to turn the tide.
