Unscrupulous and Lawless

"What?"

"Wipe out the Cheng Family?"

Chang Qianqian and Chang Hao trembled, looking at Qin Jun in disbelief.

With Daji and the Howling Celestial Dog present, they naturally didn't doubt Qin Jun's ability to accomplish it. It was just that they felt a chill in their hearts. Was it simply because Cheng Jie had offended Qin Jun?

"Heh heh heh, of course. I can't stand people who dare to provoke our Young Master either," Daji said with a charming smile, licking her lips. Daji from Investiture of the Gods was not a kind-hearted woman to begin with. Her notoriety for bringing ruin to the nation wasn't just about her beauty, but also her methods.

The Howling Celestial Dog didn't speak, but it let out a low growl, the kind dogs make when angry.

Chang Qianqian and Chang Hao were speechless. As expected, the subordinates were just like their master. They could only offer their condolences to Cheng Jie and the Cheng Family.

Finding the Cheng Family's location was easy, as everyone in the city knew it.

Qin Jun made no preparations and directly led Daji and the Howling Celestial Dog to the Cheng Family.

Soon, the group arrived in front of the Cheng Family mansion. A small street lay before the main gate, with various vendors conducting business. They all operated under the Cheng Family's banner, and two teams of guards patrolled the area.

"What a grand Cheng Family!"

Qin Jun exclaimed in amazement. The most impressive and largest mansion he had seen in Qing Tan City was this Cheng Family mansion. The walls alone were four meters high, impossible for ordinary people to climb over. The entire estate was vast, containing a small mountain shrouded in mist, with birds flying in and out, giving it the appearance of a celestial mountain.

Just looking at the mansion revealed the Cheng Family's status and wealth in Qing Tan City.

"Halt! Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter the Cheng Family!"

A guard shouted, raising his long staff. Other patrolling guards gathered, their expressions unfriendly, as if ready to attack at any moment.

Qin Jun sneered and walked directly towards the main gate.

"Seeking death!"

The guard with the staff roared and swung his staff towards Qin Jun's head. If an ordinary person were hit, their head would likely explode on the spot.

As a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Realm, how could Qin Jun be hit by him? He raised his right hand, easily catching the staff. The immense strength made it impossible for the guard to maintain his grip.

"Hmph! You're the one seeking death!"

Qin Jun's right leg shot up like lightning, delivering a powerful kick to the guard's chest. The guard spat blood and was sent flying backward.

These guards generally only had a cultivation base of the second or third layer of the Qi Refining Realm. How could they possibly be a match for someone in the fourth layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm?

They were like a flock of sheep trying to wrestle with a tiger!

Daji and the Howling Celestial Dog didn't make a move, as these ants were no match for Qin Jun.

Arriving at the mansion's main gate, Qin Jun kicked the closed doors. He kicked them open directly. The power of the Foundation Establishment Realm far surpassed that of the Qi Refining Realm. Qin Jun estimated his strength to be at least over five thousand jin!

Such power, if applied to a human body, would be absolutely devastating!

A group of guards dared not obstruct him, their eyes wide with astonishment as they watched Qin Jun. They had only ever seen such strength in their Patriarch.

"Look! Someone is trespassing into the Cheng Family mansion!"

"Damn! Who are they? How dare they be so bold!"

"This is explosive!"

"Tsk tsk, someone's about to have bad luck."

The common folk coming and going in front of the mansion chattered amongst themselves. The news quickly spread throughout the city like a plague.

Various families received the news rapidly.

Meanwhile, Qin Jun and his companions entered the Cheng Family mansion. Soon, Cheng Family cultivators appeared from all directions, surrounding them.

"It's you!"

Cheng Jie emerged from the garden with a middle-aged man. Upon seeing Qin Jun and the others, his eyes turned red, especially towards Chang Hao.

His hatred for Chang Hao now surpassed his hatred for Qin Jun, as Chang Hao had crippled his right arm, which would take months to recover.

"Today, the Cheng Family must be disbanded!"

Qin Jun declared domineeringly. The System had only said to destroy the Cheng Family, not necessarily to kill everyone.

There were many slaves and servants within the Cheng Family. They were innocent, and Qin Jun didn't want to harm them.

"You motherf***er! Say that again!"

Cheng Jie roared in fury. The middle-aged man behind him began to size up Qin Jun and the others. This middle-aged man had an ordinary appearance, a thin build, and wore a grey robe, looking no different from a household servant. However, the darkness in his eyes was chilling.

Qin Jun also noticed the grey-robed middle-aged man. He was actually a powerful cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Realm!

Although Qin Jun was also in the Foundation Establishment Realm, his experience was too limited. His realm had advanced too quickly, making his foundation unstable. In terms of combat ability, even a cultivator who had just entered the Foundation Establishment Realm could defeat him in a one-on-one fight.

"Your Cheng Family has offended someone you can't afford to provoke!" Chang Hao said coldly and mockingly.

Although this guy seemed to be offering well-intentioned advice, he was clearly trying to provoke Cheng Jie.

Qin Jun didn't care. The Cheng Family had to be destroyed today anyway.

Thinking this, Qin Jun placed his right hand behind his waist and produced a Desert Eagle out of thin air, a sinister smile appearing on his face.

"Second Uncle, it's them! Quickly help me kill them!"

Cheng Jie was furious and quickly urged the middle-aged man behind him to take action.

Bang—

Just then, a gunshot tore through the clamor, silencing the entire Cheng Family.

Qin Jun stood with the Desert Eagle in his right hand, while Cheng Jie stiffened. A bloody hole appeared on his forehead, his eyes unfocused, blood trickling down from the wound, a horrifying sight.

"Ding! Side Quest completed—Cut the weeds and remove the roots: Kill Cheng Jie! Gained 534 Experience Points!"

Cheng Jie himself had thirty-four Experience Points, plus the reward for completing the quest. Although he couldn't level up, Qin Jun was still very satisfied.

Silence!

Chang Qianqian and the others gaped, their mouths agape. The cultivators stared at Qin Jun, dumbfounded.

The middle-aged man in gray instantly grew somber. Cheng Jie was the eldest young master of the Cheng Family, and Qin Jun had killed him right before his eyes!

With a boom, the middle-aged man in gray suddenly attacked. His right fist, engulfed in flames, lunged towards Qin Jun. In just two strides, he was less than two meters away from Qin Jun, moving so fast that Qin Jun had no time to react.

"Slap—"

The middle-aged man in gray felt a white blur flash before his eyes, followed by a tremendous force hitting his right cheek. Instantly, his body was sent flying uncontrollably, crashing into a large tree in the distance.

The cultivators who were about to make a move trembled all over, their feet rooted to the spot, too scared to advance.

"Tsk tsk, is this magic?"

Qin Jun marveled, "Fists engulfed in flames defy scientific reasoning. Only magic can explain it."

"Just a low-level spell," Daji scoffed. As she spoke, she waved her slender hand, as if the slap she'd given the middle-aged man in gray had dirtied her hand.

Chang Qianqian watched with excitement. To be able to reach Daji's level of power as a woman would make this life worthwhile!

Little did she know, Daji wasn't truly a woman. She was a Demon Fox, and she had nine tails!

Chang Hao subconsciously touched his face. From his initial lust towards Daji to now, he no longer dared to harbor any improper thoughts about her, only fear.

At this moment, Qin Jun fired his gun at the middle-aged man in gray, who was struggling to get up from the ground. The middle-aged man in gray, having lost his combat ability, could barely stand. How could he dodge? He was shot in the head on the spot.
