Chapter 88

It turns out that during the time Chu Feng and the others were away, a major event occurred in the Chu family. In the mine near the mountain, rare black iron ore was discovered, and after exploration, it was found that the ore deposit was abundant.

This black iron ore is the best raw material for manufacturing weapons, more valuable than gold, virtually a treasure trove that could multiply the Chu family's profits by hundreds of times.

So when the black iron ore was discovered, the Chu family was overjoyed and began secret mining, implementing strict confidentiality measures.

However, there is no wall that does not let the wind through. Someone unknown leaked the news of the black iron ore, and once the news was out, it quickly aroused the jealousy of various forces in the neighboring town.

Led by the Xu family, their long-time rivals, the Xu family joined forces with the two strongest families in the mountain area, the Ma family and the Wang family, to attack the Chu family, aiming to divide the black iron mine.

Chu Renyi, who was handling business outside the town, rushed back upon hearing the news, but he was ambushed by the Ma family. If it weren't for Chu Feng's timely arrival, he would have been killed.

"What a despicable Xu family, they are truly tired of living."

After hearing the details, Chu Feng was so angry that he gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with murderous intent. Without even mounting a horse, he leaped and ran straight toward the Chu family's direction.

"Feng, don't go, it's too dangerous." Seeing this, Chu Renyi hurriedly tried to stop him.

But Chu Feng's speed was too fast. All he saw was a gust of wind, and Chu Feng had already disappeared. At this moment, Chu Renyi, who had wanted to say more, could only swallow his words.

After a long while, he finally regained his composure and said in great surprise, "Feng's speed, could it be that his strength has already surpassed the Spirit Warrior Realm?"

Hearing Chu Renyi's words, the heavily injured Chu family members were also shocked, their mouths wide open. To surpass the Spirit Warrior Realm at such a young age, what did that mean? It was almost beyond their comprehension.

The mountain town is the foundation of the Chu family, where the order is maintained by the Chu family, and the people are protected by the Chu family. It would not be an exaggeration to call this small town a miniature kingdom.

Due to the recent discovery of the black iron ore, the Chu family had already set up multiple layers of defense in the mountain town to prevent anyone from harming the Chu family.

However, under the joint attack of the Xu, Ma, and Wang families, the multiple layers of defense in the mountain town were all breached, and almost all the townspeople were slaughtered. Only the Chu family was still making a final stand.

But even the strong Chu family could not withstand the combined forces of the three families. All the Chu family members, except for the elderly, sick, and weak, were either dead or injured, suffering heavy losses.

At this moment, the only ones still capable of fighting were the Chu family's patriarch, Chu Yuanba, and the Chu family's experts like Chu Yuan. They were defending the last line of defense, protecting the elderly, sick, and weak, and safeguarding the foundation of the Chu family.

However, no matter how powerful Chu Yuanba was, he could not withstand the combined forces of the three patriarchs. At this moment, his face was as pale as paper, his body covered in blood, and he was kneeling on the ground, gasping heavily.

"Father." Seeing that Chu Yuanba was no longer able to fight, Chu Yuan quickly came to his side, scanning the surroundings with a wary gaze, deeply afraid that someone would kill his father.

After Chu Yuanba was defeated, the four forces also stopped fighting, and the bloody battle finally came to a brief calm.

"Chu Yuanba, I see you as a man, so I will give you a dignified death. Commit suicide," said a slightly fat, short, and bearded old man, the patriarch of the Xu family.

Looking at the three old men and the severely injured Chu family members around him, Chu Yuanba's face was full of sorrow as he said,

"I, Chu Yuanba, can commit suicide, but please spare my Chu family."

"I promise that my Chu family will leave this mountain and never return."

"Haha, are you a fool, or do you take us for fools? To spare your Chu family is to let a tiger return to the mountain, leaving a future threat."

"Chu Yuanba, you can only blame yourself for not knowing your place. If you had agreed to share the black iron mine with the three of us, this would not have happened. It is you who has brought the Chu family to this point."

"None of your Chu family will leave here alive today. You all commit suicide, and we will leave you whole bodies."

The Xu family patriarch's words were cold and merciless. After so many years of rivalry with the Chu family, he had long harbored deep hatred and would never give the Chu family a chance to breathe.

"Ah~~~"

"Ugh~~~"

Just at this moment, a series of惨叫声 suddenly came from outside the Chu family compound, one after another, even several at once, creating a terrifying scene.

At this moment, everyone inside the Chu family compound was shocked, especially the people from the Xu, Wang, and Ma families, who became instantly uneasy.

Because all the Chu family members had been forced into the compound, and those outside were all their own people.

However, the惨叫声 only lasted for a moment before falling silent, but this silence was even more unsettling.

"Tap tap tap"

"Lord, save me!"

Suddenly, a Xu family expert, his face full of panic, ran into the Chu family compound, shouting for help as he ran.

"Swish swish swish"

Before he could take three steps, a cold wind swept past him, and a black iron broadsword flew toward him.

With a "thud," the Xu family expert's head flew into the sky and fell to the ground like a watermelon, while his body remained standing, still in the running position.

"This..."

At this moment, the people from the Xu, Wang, and Ma families were all shocked, their faces turning pale, because the Xu family expert who was killed was a Spirit Warrior Eighth Rank expert.

A Spirit Warrior Eighth Rank expert was so easily killed, and right in front of the three patriarchs, which showed how powerful the person who made the move was.

Just as everyone's nerves were on edge, a clear sound of footsteps suddenly rang out outside the Chu family compound, breaking the silence.

But the calm and steady footsteps at this moment made people feel so uneasy and even terrified, with each step causing their hearts to throb painfully.

Finally, under everyone's gaze, a figure appeared in their line of sight, a young man.

A young man wearing a blue robe and holding a large banner.

The banner was special, with a green coiled dragon carved on it and three large characters in the middle, the emblem of the Azure Dragon Sect, the "Azure Dragon Banner."

But compared to the imposing Azure Dragon Banner, the young man was even more terrifying, his youthful face covered in blood, his entire body exuding a bloody smell and a menacing killing aura.

"Thud"

Suddenly, the young man's banner fell to the ground with a "thud," embedding itself in the stone slab and creating cracks.

"Those who dare to attack my Chu family today will die!"
