"Ah!"
Gao Qiu's scream suddenly rang out, shrill and agonizing.
Su Qian appeared from a distance, his eyes filled with bone-chilling killing intent.
He was Su Yuanba's eldest son, which made him Su He's older brother.
Su Qian said coldly, "Well, well. I've certainly seen it all now. Fang Tooth Sect actually dared to lay hands on someone from my Su Family."
He had originally been drinking here with Su Li, but he had never expected to run into something like this.
He had thought Su Li could handle it, but he had never expected Fang Tooth Sect to actually dare kill someone from the Su Family.
When Han Xi saw Su Qian, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
The direct descendants of the Su Family had all appeared. It seemed that nothing would happen today.
Su Qian coldly looked toward Hu Huan. "Gang Leader Hu, you'd better give me an explanation. Otherwise, this matter today... I'm afraid it won't end peacefully."
Before Hu Huan could speak, Gao Qiu roared, "Brat, you're courting death!"
Having lost one hand, he was furious beyond measure. More importantly, Su Qian's cultivation was only at the Foundation Establishment Peak Stage. He himself, however, was at the early Core Formation stage.
Having his arm severed by someone in the Foundation Establishment Realm was simply a humiliation.
Hu Huan hurriedly pulled Gao Qiu back, his expression gradually turning solemn.
Su Qian had an extraordinary bearing, and he was also in the Foundation Establishment Realm. If Li Qingqing truly had a Foundation Establishment cultivator backing her, there would have been no reason for them to borrow a little silver from Gao Qiu.
Could they really be members of the Su Family?
At that moment, Hu Huan suddenly began to panic.
Hu Huan cupped his hands and said, "May I ask your name, Young Master?"
Su Qian said indifferently, "The Su Family. Su Qian."
Su Qian?
Hu Huan furrowed his brows. He had never heard that name before.
The Su Family had only arrived in Bright Moon City less than twenty years ago. Whether direct or collateral descendants, the younger generation rarely showed themselves, so Hu Huan found the name Su Qian somewhat unfamiliar.
However, seeing Su Qian's confident and composed demeanor, he still felt somewhat uneasy.
After thinking it over carefully, Hu Huan still said:
"Young Master Su Qian, if you can prove that you're a member of the Su Family, I'll immediately release Li Ying and Li Xiu."
When Su Qian heard this, he was so angry that he laughed.
"Hahahahaha!"
Seeing Su Qian laugh wildly without the slightest restraint, Hu Huan's expression instantly darkened.
Gao Qiu said coldly from the side, "Deputy Gang Leader, they're definitely putting on an act. I investigated Li Qingqing. She absolutely has nothing to do with the Su Family."
Hearing this, the trace of caution in Hu Huan's heart weakened further.
After laughing for a while, Su Qian grew tired. He looked at Hu Huan mockingly. "Gang Leader Hu, are all the people in the Fangtooth Gang idiots?"
Su Li could not help saying, "Ain't that the truth? This is the first time I've seen someone this stupid in Bright Moon City."
"Insolence!"
Hu Huan could no longer endure it. In his fury, he lost some of his reason.
Coupled with Gao Qiu's claim that these people could not possibly be from the Su Family, he attacked directly, rushing toward Su Qian with the force of thunder.
A monstrous might spread through the area. Hu Huan's attack consisted of two powerful strikes containing the force of lightning, causing Su Qian's expression to change drastically. After all, the gap between their realms was simply too great.
In front of a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, Su Qian, who was only in the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, was no different from an ant.
What puzzled Su Qian most was that Hu Huan actually dared to attack and kill a direct descendant of the Su Family in Bright Moon City. Was he not afraid of dying?
Could he be insane?
"Hu Huan, you're courting death!"
Su Qian roared. As a direct descendant of the Su Family, he naturally had a life-saving trump card. However, just as he was about to use it, a figure suddenly blocked his path.
"Boom!"
A tremendous sound rang out. Hu Huan shot backward like an arrow released from a bow, smashing into a several-meter-deep crater in front of Crimson Courtyard as fresh blood poured from his body.
A figure stood in front of Su Qian. He had a clean, handsome face, a tall and slender build, and an exceptionally striking appearance.
"Young Master!"
Cries of alarm rang out, and Ruoxi's face was filled with delight.
Su Qian also reacted, his face lighting up. "Fifth Brother."
He was a few months younger than Su Chen, so calling him Fifth Brother was perfectly appropriate.
Su Chen nodded at him, then looked toward Hu Huan and said indifferently:
"A mere Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator actually dared to attack a direct descendant of the Su Family. You truly don't know how to live or die."
The instant they saw Su Chen, many of the surrounding people were startled.
"That man looks so familiar!"
"Stop saying he looks familiar. He's Su Chen, the Young Clan Leader of the Su Family."
"My heavens, could these people really be from the Su Family?"
"It looks like the Fangtooth Gang is finished. If Su Qian really is a direct descendant, they're definitely doomed."
"He dared to attack someone from the Su Family. Hu Huan has truly lived to the end of his days. No, it would be more accurate to say that the Fangtooth Gang has reached its end."
Not many people knew Su Qian, but there were still quite a few who knew Su Chen.
Seeing Hu Huan suffer, they all revealed gleeful expressions.
Hu Huan's chest had caved in. An ordinary person would have died long ago from such an injury.
However, Nascent Soul Realm cultivators possessed astonishing vitality, which was why he had survived. Even so, he was still gravely wounded.
Hu Huan endured the excruciating pain throughout his body, hurriedly crawled to his feet, and knelt on the ground. His face was full of terror as he said:
"Young Master Su, spare me! I was deceived by slander for a moment and nearly harmed the Su Family..."
He had never imagined that these people before him really were members of the Su Family.
Most importantly, Li Qingqing—if she could summon so many members of the Su Family, why had she still been living in such misery at home?
Even if he had any doubts about Su Chen's identity now, it was already useless. After that exchange just now, he could be certain that he was absolutely no match for Su Chen.
"Enough!"
Su Chen said indifferently, "I don't like listening to this nonsense."
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure appeared beside Hu Huan like a ghost, and he brought his foot down.
The kick looked utterly ordinary, yet it directly crushed Hu Huan's Nascent Soul in his dantian.
Hu Huan's cultivation also plummeted to rock bottom as his Nascent Soul shattered, turning him into an ordinary mortal.
The surrounding people could not help sighing when they saw this.
A Nascent Soul Realm cultivator had actually been crippled like a pig or dog.
Su Chen said sharply, "If anyone dares to attack a direct descendant of my Su Family, what prestige will our Su Family have left in Bright Moon City?"
"Su Qian, take this man back to the Su Family. Execute him by beheading at the Martial Arena three days from now!"
He had not killed Hu Huan immediately not because he was merciful, but because he wanted to establish his authority—to make everyone tremble in fear at the mere mention of the Su Family. Otherwise, such incidents would happen again.
What had happened today was truly laughable. The members of the Su Family had already revealed their identities, yet someone had still dared to attack them.
And this had happened in Bright Moon City, no less.
Su Qian immediately nodded. "Yes, Young Clan Leader."
Although they were both direct descendants of the Su Family, Su Chen's status was above his.
He stepped forward, grabbed Hu Huan, and tossed him directly to Su Li.
"Take him back."
At that moment, Hu Huan's eyes were filled with despair. He knew he was finished. He had actually walked straight into the Su Family's line of fire.
At the same time, he hated Gao Qiu to the extreme.
If Gao Qiu had not misled him, he would have verified the other party's identity carefully before making any further plans.
As the Deputy Gang Leader of the Fangtooth Gang, he had naturally not been a foolish man to reach the Nascent Soul Realm. Yet today, he had still been brought down by one of his own.
Li Qingqing was merely an ordinary person. How could she have had the courage to impersonate the Su Family? That alone should have been enough to make him cautious.
However, Li Qingqing's status was lowly, making it difficult for him to associate her with a colossal power like the Su Family. Combined with Gao Qiu's misleading words, he had directly assumed that the people before him had nothing to do with the Su Family.
Hu Huan suddenly roared at Gao Qiu, "Gao Qiu, you dog-born bastard..."
He continued hurling vile curses from his mouth, but Gao Qiu had already been scared witless and was completely at a loss.
Su Chen gave a light grab, and terrifying force swept outward. The members of the Fangtooth Gang died on the spot, Gao Qiu naturally among them.
The destruction of the Fangtooth Gang filled everyone present with incomparable dread.
Was this the Su Family?
A Nascent Soul Realm faction was actually so weak before him.
Most importantly, Su Chen seemed to be far more formidable than the rumors claimed.
