Chapter 45: The End of the Music

Du Fei casually flicked his hand in the air, and another pill fell into his right hand, bouncing up and down with his movements.

At this moment, countless eyes were fixed on the pill, as if trying to see what Du Fei was going to do.

A faint, slightly cold smile appeared at the corner of Du Fei's mouth. He calmly watched the Long family martial artist quickly retreat. Just as the figure was about to completely disappear from sight, Du Fei lightly flicked his right hand.

"Whoosh..."

Following Du Fei's action, a red light like a thread of fire instantly traversed several dozen steps, shooting straight into the left back of the Long family martial artist. The martial artist's entire body trembled, and his originally running figure suddenly froze on the spot. A moment later, his body convulsed, but he still struggled to turn around, wanting to see Du Fei one last time. It seemed he couldn't understand why his protective true qi couldn't block this killing move at all.

Before he could finish this thought, the pill inside his body exploded with a loud bang. His entire body instantly shattered into pieces, and limbs and fragments flew in all directions. The feet that landed on the ground were still twitching slightly, but after a moment, they slowly stopped.

Du Fei, who had witnessed this extremely bloody scene, seemed to see nothing. He smiled slightly, lightly tapped his right hand, and the remaining three pills instantly fell into the storage ring on his left hand, disappearing without a trace.

It was as if nothing had happened at all.

Watching this rapidly changing scene, Du Zhen Tian slightly pinched the beard on his chin, his eyes not moving at all, as if everything was within his expectations. He just smiled faintly.

On the other hand, Lian Ji's expression was extremely strange. Several times, he seemed to want to take action, but when his gaze fell on Du Fei, he subconsciously looked away.

No matter how much hatred he had in his heart, at this moment, he didn't even have the strength to move.

Because he knew that if Du Fei's pills were thrown at him, he wouldn't have the slightest chance of survival. Although he didn't know why Du Fei hadn't acted, he still couldn't die at this moment.

Du Zhen Feng's face twitched, his gaze slowly meeting the other two elders, and they all looked away simultaneously.

At this moment, how could he not feel a hint of regret? He seemed to already foresee his fate in the Du family after today. The corners of his eyes were twitching uncontrollably.

Originally, he had been certain that under the tightly linked schemes of himself and Lian Ji, not only Du Fei but even Du Zhen Tian would have no chance to counter. After today's events, he would not only avenge his deep grudge but also seize the position of the Du family head.

Who would have thought it would end up like this!

If Du Fei were just a Ninth Rank Martial Artist, he would still have a way to deal with him. But the value Du Fei displayed today was so astonishing that even the entire Du family was shocked!

At this moment, what he needed to consider was no longer how to turn the tide but how to save his life.

And the only way to save his life seemed to be through the family head, who looked extremely confident... Thinking of this, Du Zhen Feng's gaze fell on Du Zhen Tian's back, and he didn't know what to feel.

"This No-Yue City will be the Du family's territory from now on..." On the opposite side of the hall, Gong Sun Ze, who had been watching the show from beginning to end, now had a slightly darker expression. Even his playful smile had disappeared. Originally, he had thought that no matter how the Du and Lian families fought, the ultimate beneficiary would be the Gong Sun family. But he never expected that after the struggle, the Du family would suffer no losses, and Du Fei would display overwhelming power in No-Yue City. The Lian family, having lost so many family members, would likely never recover, even if they still had some strength left!

Compared to the various chaotic thoughts of the others in the hall, Du Zhen Tian's shock gradually faded. As early as the clan competition, Du Fei's decisive and ruthless methods had made Du Zhen Tian realize that this child was no ordinary person. Today's display further confirmed that his judgment was correct!

What comforted Du Zhen Tian was that he still had some support in the family. Otherwise, if he had allied with those three old men today, the Du family... would be finished!

A pill master who could casually kill an Eighth Rank Martial Artist and throw Eighth Rank pills as if they were free—no one would believe he had no background!

But even more terrifying was that he was only fourteen years old. At this age, to display such strength, his future achievements would be unimaginable!

Such a person, it was fortunate that he wasn't forced out of the family!

At this moment, Du Zhen Tian had already made up his mind. To retain Du Fei, even if it meant disabling those three old men, it wouldn't be a big deal!

Sighing slightly in his heart, Du Zhen Tian's gaze slowly fell on Du Fei's calm face. He was extremely curious to know what Du Fei intended to do next after creating this situation.

As if sensing Du Zhen Tian's gaze, Du Fei slowly turned his head and then revealed a rather kind smile. His gaze slowly scanned the hall, and after a moment, his eyes brightened, landing on Lian Ji's pale face.

Without any hesitation, Du Fei slowly walked over. When Lian Ji's pale face almost turned transparent, Du Fei smiled faintly and said casually, "Lian Zhen sought his own death. If you want to avenge him, just come find me... I don't mind killing a few more of your Lian family... At the same time, I'll give you a friendly warning: it's best not to have too much contact with the Long family. If you don't want to end up like the Long family, being wiped out by me, Du Fei..."

After saying this, Du Fei didn't look at Lian Ji's expression, but laughed loudly and then slowly walked back to his seat, taking Xiao Ai's already stunned hand and smiling gently, "The Lian family is too dirty, affecting our mood. Let's go outside and find something good to eat."

After saying this, he didn't care about Xiao Ai's surprise, just smiled softly and then led Xiao Ai out of the hall.

Outside the hall, it was filled with Lian family guards, but as Du Fei approached, they all stepped back in fear, some even falling to the ground, trembling uncontrollably, without the strength to resist. Regardless, there was no one blocking Du Fei and Xiao Ai's path, and in an instant, their figures slowly disappeared into the night.

A faint breeze blew into the hall, and the corpse of Lian Zhen, stuck to the pillar, fell to the ground. Black blood splattered everywhere, making the ground even more bloodstained. His lifeless eyes stared at the direction where Du Fei had disappeared, as if expressing his unwillingness.

After a moment, a series of sighs echoed in the hall, and the sound of people drawing in cold breaths could be heard continuously. Almost everyone's eyes were filled with disbelief, and some were even slapping their faces, as if trying to wake themselves up.

"Cough, cough..."

After a moment, Gong Sun Ze was the first to speak. He slowly stood up, bowed slightly to the four directions, and said, "Today's events... Today's events... the Gong Sun family will take our leave!"

After saying this, he didn't wait for anyone's reaction, but waved his hand and quickly led the Gong Sun family members away.

Seeing this, the representatives of other major and minor forces also snapped out of their shock and quickly bid farewell and left. In no time, the originally crowded hall was almost empty.

In the hall, only the Lian and Du family members remained, their gazes complex and heavy.

Du Zhen Tian was also quite helpless about this scene. If Lian Ji had also been killed by Du Fei, he wouldn't mind wiping out the entire Lian family. But the current situation... although many of the Lian family's younger members were dead, the higher-ups were largely unharmed. Even if he took action, he would suffer significant losses.

Thinking of this, Du Zhen Tian gave up on this rather unrealistic idea and just bowed slightly, then smiled faintly, "Today's events... I, Du, won't pursue them further. But if Fei doesn't want to let this go, then..."

At this point, Du Zhen Tian couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

Seeing this, Lian Ji's expression returned to normal. At this moment, few could tell what expression he was showing. He took a deep breath and said calmly, "Today, it was my Lian family who acted rashly, and we have no one to blame but ourselves... No matter what, the Lian family will give Du Fei a satisfactory explanation. I hope today's events won't affect the relationship between our two families... The Lian family has some matters to attend to, and the grand banquet ends here. I apologize for not seeing you off."

"Then, the Du family will take our leave!" Du Zhen Tian didn't waste words, just waved his hand and led the Du family members out in an orderly manner.

In no time, the hall was left with only the Lian family members, their gazes falling on the numerous bodies on the ground, their expressions extremely complex.

After a moment, women and children ran out from the corners, throwing themselves onto the bodies, wailing loudly. The entire Lian family was instantly shrouded in sorrow, and the grand celebration had indeed turned into a funeral.

Lian Ji clenched his fists, his body trembling uncontrollably. After a moment, blood began to seep from his palms, and a voice filled with hatred, as if coming from the depths of hell, echoed.

"Du Fei! Today's events won't end like this!"

"Even if I have to go to the ends of the earth, the Lian family will definitely avenge today's humiliation!"
