What?
Wipe out the Cheng Family?
Chang Qianqian and Chang Hao shuddered all over, looking at Qin Jun in disbelief.
With Daji and the Howling Celestial Dog here, they naturally did not doubt Qin Jun could do it. They were just chilled to the bone. Was it all because Cheng Jie had offended Qin Jun?
"Hehehe, sure. I can't stand anyone daring to provoke our young master either." Daji licked her lips and smiled seductively. The Daji from Investiture of the Gods had never been a softhearted woman. Disaster for the country and people referred not only to her beauty, but also to her methods.
The Howling Celestial Dog said nothing, but a low, furious canine growl rumbled from its throat.
Chang Qianqian and Chang Hao were speechless. Sure enough, like master, like subordinates. All they could do was mourn for Cheng Jie and the Cheng Family.
The Cheng Family's location was easy to find, because everyone in the city knew it.
Qin Jun made no preparations and directly led Daji and the Howling Celestial Dog toward the Cheng Family to kill.
Before long, the group arrived outside the Cheng Family estate. A small street ran before its gates, lined with vendors doing business under the Cheng Family banner, while two squads of guards patrolled nearby.
"What an impressive Cheng Family!"
Qin Jun clicked his tongue in wonder. Within Qing Tan City, the grandest and largest estate he had seen was the Cheng Family estate. Its walls alone stood four meters high, impossible for ordinary people to climb over. The entire estate covered an enormous area, and there was even a small mountain within. Mist drifted around it as birds flew in and out, giving it the air of an immortal mountain.
Just looking at the estate was enough to show the Cheng Family's status and wealth in Qing Tan City.
"Halt! Unauthorized people are not allowed into the Cheng Family!"
A guard raised the long staff in his hand and shouted. The other patrolling guards quickly gathered around, their expressions hostile as though they might attack at any moment.
Qin Jun curled his lips and walked straight toward the gate.
"Courting death!"
The staff-wielding guard roared and swung his staff at Qin Jun's head. If an ordinary person had been struck, his head would likely have burst on the spot.
As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, how could Qin Jun possibly be hit? He raised his right hand and easily caught the staff. The tremendous force made it impossible for the guard to retain control of it.
"Hmph! You're the one courting death!"
Qin Jun's right leg flashed upward like lightning and kicked the guard squarely in the chest. The force sent him flying backward while coughing up blood.
These guards were generally only at the second or third layer of the Qi Refining Realm. How could they possibly be a match for someone at the Foundation Establishment Fourth Layer?
It was like a flock of sheep trying to wrestle with a tiger!
Daji and the Howling Celestial Dog did not make a move, because these ants were no match for Qin Jun at all.
When he reached the estate gates, Qin Jun kicked the tightly shut doors, blasting them open. The power of the Foundation Establishment Realm far surpassed that of the Qi Refining Realm. By Qin Jun's own estimate, his strength was at least five thousand jin!
If such power landed on a human body, it would be utterly devastating!
The guards did not dare stop him. One after another, they stared at Qin Jun in dumbfounded shock. They had only seen such power from their family head.
"Look! Someone broke into the Cheng Family estate!"
"Damn! Who are they? They're actually this bold?"
"This is huge!"
"Tsk tsk, someone's about to be in trouble!"
The citizens passing by the estate discussed it animatedly. The news quickly spread, sweeping through the entire city like a plague.
The various families swiftly received word.
Meanwhile, Qin Jun and his group entered the Cheng Family estate. Before long, Cheng Family cultivators rushed in from all directions and surrounded them.
"It's you!"
Cheng Jie emerged from the garden with a middle-aged man. The moment he saw Qin Jun and the others, his eyes turned red, especially when he saw Chang Hao.
He now hated Chang Hao even more than Qin Jun, because Chang Hao had crippled his right arm. It would take several months for it to recover.
"Today, the Cheng Family must disband!"
Qin Jun declared domineeringly. The system had only said to destroy the Cheng Family; it had not said he had to kill every last person.
There were many slaves and servants in the Cheng Family. They were innocent, and Qin Jun did not wish to harm them.
"Fuck you! Say that again!"
Cheng Jie roared in fury. The middle-aged man behind him began sizing up Qin Jun and the others. He had an ordinary face and a thin build, dressed in gray robes that made him look no different from a household servant, yet the sinister look in his eyes was chilling.
Qin Jun also noticed the gray-robed middle-aged man. He was actually a Foundation Establishment cultivator!
Although Qin Jun was also in the Foundation Establishment Realm, he lacked experience. His cultivation had advanced too quickly, leaving his foundation unstable. In terms of actual 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 offended someone you can't afford to provoke!" Chang Hao sneered coldly.
Though he seemed to be offering a kind reminder, he was clearly provoking Cheng Jie.
Qin Jun did not care. The Cheng Family had to be destroyed today anyway.
With that thought, Qin Jun placed his right hand behind his waist and pulled out the Desert Eagle from thin air, an ill-intentioned smile spreading across his face.
"Second Uncle, it's them! Hurry and kill them for me!"
Cheng Jie was beside himself with rage and hurriedly urged the gray-robed middle-aged man behind him to act.
Bang—
At that moment, a gunshot tore through the clamor, plunging the entire Cheng Family into silence.
Qin Jun held the Desert Eagle up in his right hand, while Cheng Jie's body stiffened. A bloody hole had appeared in his forehead. His eyes were unfocused, and blood trickled down from the wound in a horrifying sight.
"Ding! Side Quest completed—Eradicate the Roots: Kill Cheng Jie! Received 534 Experience Points!"
Cheng Jie himself had been worth thirty-four Experience Points. Added to the reward for completing the quest, it was not enough to level up, but Qin Jun was still quite satisfied.
Silence!
Chang Qianqian and the others stood with their mouths agape, while the cultivators stared blankly at Qin Jun.
The gray-robed middle-aged man's face darkened instantly. Cheng Jie was the eldest young master of the Cheng Family, yet Qin Jun had killed him right in front of him!
With a boom, the gray-robed middle-aged man suddenly attacked. Flames burned around his right fist as he charged Qin Jun. In just two strides, he was less than two meters away. He was so fast that Qin Jun had no time to react.
Slap—
The gray-robed middle-aged man only saw a white blur flash before his eyes. Then an enormous force struck the right side of his face, and in an instant, his body flew backward out of control, crashing directly into a distant tree.
The cultivators who had been about to attack trembled all over in fright. Their feet seemed rooted to the ground, and none dared advance.
"Tsk tsk, is this a spell?"
Qin Jun clicked his tongue in amazement. A fist bursting into flames defied scientific principles; only a spell could explain it.
"Just a low-grade spell." Daji snorted disdainfully. As she spoke, she waved her delicate hand, apparently feeling that slapping the gray-robed middle-aged man had dirtied it.
Chang Qianqian watched excitedly. If a woman could become as powerful as Daji, her life would not have been lived in vain!
Little did she know, Daji was not truly a woman. She was a demon fox, and she even had nine tails!
Chang Hao subconsciously touched his own face. At first, he had been filled with lustful desire for Daji, but now he no longer dared harbor improper thoughts toward her. All that remained was fear.
At that moment, Qin Jun fired at the gray-robed middle-aged man, who was struggling to climb up from the ground. It was already his limit just to stand after losing his ability to fight. How could he dodge? His head was blown apart on the spot.
