The Yan Family's Downfall

Many people present had their attention drawn to the hazy Golden Light Barrier, including the two enshrined experts of the Yan Family, who both showed looks of surprise.

"Hmph, this Golden Light Barrier can last for quite some time. Feel free to kill the enemy, esteemed experts, and don't worry about this old man's safety!" the Old Master Yan said with a cold snort.

Yan Xu, however, adapted quickly. He let out a loud laugh, "Hahaha, good! Since Old Master has such a means of self-defense, I can rest easy. You old turtle, come and take your life!"

Immediately, he accelerated his assault before the reinforcements from the Seven Kill Squad could arrive.

In an instant, Li Qing's pressure increased greatly.

Every palm strike from Yan Xu carried an extremely potent force, making the tiger's mouth of his hand holding the Peerless Hammer go numb.

Just now, his mind had been captivated by the Golden Light Barrier, and he was struggling to defend himself, being pushed back step by step.

Just as Yan Xu's palm was about to land on him, the other five death warriors finally charged in.

These individuals were all fearless, attacking Yan Xu without any regard for their own safety.

"Seeking death!" Yan Xu repelled Li Qing with a palm strike, then turned to face the attacks of the five Seven Kill Squad death warriors.

"Wind Piercing Hand!"

Yan Xu's strike was incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, his fingers pierced through the throat of one death warrior, his movements brutal and ruthless.

However, before the man died, the punch he had thrown continued with unabated force, striking Yan Xu on the head.

The other four were even more unfazed. The death of their companion, with whom they had spent their days, did not cause a flicker in their eyes.

They offered no defense, only attacking relentlessly, trading injury for injury, life for life!

Bang!

Yan Xu, having taken a punch to the head, was not severely affected. However, being entangled by these four desperate individuals, he could no longer spare a hand to deal with Li Qing.

All of this happened very quickly, but Li Qing's reaction was even faster.

He charged forward, unleashing a cleaving hammer strike from the Ancient Profound Hammer Technique.

The Peerless Hammer, weighing over two hundred jin, struck Yan Xu's shoulder with immense force and a gust of wind.

Crack!

A crisp sound echoed, the sound of bone breaking.

The eyes of the Yan Family expert turned red. The intense pain stimulated his mind, driving him to the brink of madness.

"Aaaargh! I'll kill you!" Yan Xu roared, his disheveled appearance terrifying.

However, with half of his shoulder crippled, Yan Xu was no longer much of a threat. Li Qing merely watched him coldly, watching as he was entangled by the other four desperate death warriors.

The five of them became locked in a struggle, and the scene quickly turned bloody.

Yan Xu's fist once again exploded the head of one man, while the others respectively drew short weapons and stabbed at his vital points.

Short knives, daggers, and thin swords opened several wounds on his body, and blood sprayed out rapidly.

Just as Yan Xu was about to trade another life, Li Qing, from the side, unexpectedly swung his hammer, ending his life.

On the other side, Tian Long's situation was not as favorable.

Although he had the support of several members of the Seven Kill Squad, the old man named Mo Nan was terrifyingly powerful. Facing the encirclement of six people, he still firmly held the upper hand.

The might of internal martial arts was fully displayed.

"Old Man Mo, no wonder you haven't reached the Internal Energy level yet. It turns out you've also cultivated an external martial art, and your mastery is quite profound." Tian Long, whose pressure had significantly lessened, could finally catch his breath.

Mo Nan's expression was calm, his every move methodical. He not only blocked Tian Long's attacks but also effortlessly dealt with the desperate entanglement from the five death warriors.

"My aptitude for martial arts was too poor, and I saw no hope of cultivating Internal Energy, so I switched to the Iron Cloth Technique. Heavenly Dragon Gang Leader flatters me."

"Heh heh, take another saber strike from me!"

Seeing that the battle on this side would not end anytime soon, Li Qing had no intention of interfering. With the help of the Seven Kill Squad, neither side could gain the upper hand.

He turned his gaze to the Old Master Yan, who was completely enveloped in the Golden Light. This kind of miraculous thing was something he had never seen before.

Especially the yellow Talisman pasted on his chest, which strongly resembled the talismans described in immortal cultivation novels.

"Old Mo, why haven't you killed the traitor Tian Long yet!" The Old Master Yan was also getting anxious. Seeing Li Qing cooperate with the suddenly appearing individuals to kill Yan Xu, he finally began to panic internally.

The three death warriors surrounding him now had bloodshot eyes, using all their might to hack at the Golden Light Barrier around the Old Master Yan.

"How could this be, how could this be!"

"Why won't it break? What kind of strange thing is this!"

"Damn it! Break for me!!!"

Their mortal enemy was right before their eyes, yet they were blocked by a strange Golden Light. They were driven mad, wishing they could devour the detestable Old Master Yan inside alive right now.

Li Qing observed this scene without rashly approaching.

This Golden Light Barrier was clearly no ordinary object; it seemed like a divine technique from legends.

To be honest, if the Old Master Yan hadn't appeared so flustered now, looking like he had exhausted all his trump cards, Li Qing would have wanted to retreat immediately.

Who knew if this old man would suddenly produce a Talisman that could summon fire or call down lightning? That would be dangerous.

Just as Li Qing began to consider retreating, a crisp cracking sound suddenly echoed.

Crack!

The Golden Light Barrier dimmed in an instant, then fine cracks appeared, like fragile porcelain about to shatter.

Finally, with the relentless, desperate efforts of the three death warriors, the Golden Light Barrier exploded, scattering into a rain of golden light that vanished into the air.

The yellow Talisman on the Yan Family patriarch also shattered along with it.

"No! Impossible! How could it be destroyed so quickly? Didn't they say it could last for a day and a night, that ordinary people's fists and weapons could never break it?"

The Yan Family patriarch was stunned. He watched the vanishing Golden Light Barrier, his legs immediately starting to tremble.

"No!"

Seeing the shattered Golden Light Barrier, the three death warriors went mad and lunged at the white-haired old man, tearing, devouring, and clawing at Yan Qitian like hungry wolves.

Li Qing's mouth opened, wanting to stop them. He wanted to question them about the origin of the Golden Light Barrier, but it was too late.

Revenge against the Yan Family was the Seven Kill Squad's sole purpose for living. They were so eager to drink his blood and eat his flesh that they wouldn't give Li Qing a chance to speak.

The Yan Family patriarch was as dead as dead could be. The others in the mansion were still fighting.

To end this as quickly as possible and obtain the Medicinal Wine Recipes he desired, Li Qing used Outer Strength and shouted in a deep voice, "The Yan Family patriarch has been executed. Why aren't you all quickly laying down your weapons!"

This shout was loud, echoing inside and outside the Yan mansion, and everyone heard it clearly.

"Father!" the Second Young Master Yan screamed, but Zhao Kou didn't give him a chance to say more before cruelly slitting his throat.

Swish!

This second young master, who had committed many wicked deeds in Obsidian City, met his end on the spot.

At this point, everyone else turned their gazes towards the mansion. Seeing that the Yan Family patriarch was indeed dead, they dared not continue fighting. They dropped their weapons and fled like frightened birds.

"The Yan patriarch is dead, the Yan Family has been wiped out!"

"The Yan Family is annihilated!"

The guards and thugs the Yan Family had kept immediately scattered.

Meanwhile, inside the mansion, Tian Long, who was still fighting Mo Nan, laughed heartily, "Hahahaha, the Yan Family patriarch is dead! Old Mo, I won't make things difficult for you. Let's stop here. I'll double what the Yan Family used to give you!"

Mo Nan also knew that the situation was completely beyond recovery. Their martial artist retainer had been crippled first, and Yan Xu had died at Li Qing's hands. There was indeed no need to continue fighting.

"Alas! Forget it!" Mo Nan sighed, withdrew, and with a few leaps, broke free from Tian Long and the members of the Seven Kill Squad.

Thus, this great family that had stood in Obsidian City for many years completely collapsed!
