An invisible force spread outward.
The Storage Ring in Lin Qingran's hand, along with the Immortal Jade he had given her that she wore around her wrist, were both pulled away.
Ding! Lin Qingran's cultivation has been crippled. Reward: 1000 Villain Points!
At the sight, Lin Qingran's expression stiffened. With a trace of ingratiation, she pleaded softly.
"Chen Xiao, do you remember? You gave me all of these back then..."
"I don't want any of them anymore! I only beg you to forgive me!"
Looking at the incomparably humble Lin Qinglian before him, where was the aloof and proud bearing she had once possessed as a daughter of the Lin Family?
Su Chenxiao smiled faintly.
He stepped forward and placed his hand around Lin Qingran's neck.
His fingers stroked her jade-smooth skin before slowly tightening...
"Don't be afraid."
"I'll forgive you soon enough."
"See over there? I'm forgiving them too."
Su Chenxiao pointed at Ye Hongtian in the distance.
The screams rang out without end.
"Ah!!!"
Ye Ling, who was being tortured, let out agonized howls again and again!
"Kill me! Father, kill me!"
His cultivation had been crippled, his ten fingers reduced to a bloody mess. Even the bones throughout his body had been shattered.
Ye Ling kept waking from pain only to pass out again, suffering the inhuman torment inflicted by his own father, Ye Hongtian!
Lin Qingran merely glanced over.
Her entire body seemed to plunge into an icy abyss as she shook her head desperately.
She had never seen Su Chenxiao look so cold and indifferent.
The terrified faces all around her, the pained wails in the distance...
And the intense suffocating sensation she felt now suddenly awakened her.
He truly wanted to kill her!
"Cough, cough... Su Chen... I was wrong..."
Tears spilled from her eyes. Lin Qingran's lovely face had gone pale with fright as she begged bitterly.
"I was truly wrong! Please, please, for the sake of what we once had... our feelings..."
"Spare me. I'll do anything you want. I can't die yet..."
She no longer dared to hope for forgiveness. All she wanted now was to live.
Su Chenxiao smiled and shook his head.
His gaze was ice-cold, yet he spoke in the gentlest tone, as though speaking to an intimate lover.
"Lin Qingran, you weren't regretting it."
"You only knew that you were about to die."
"Good night."
His right hand, tightly gripping her neck, kept contracting with force.
Under the disbelieving, horrified gazes of everyone around them—
Crack!
Su Chenxiao crushed her neck with his bare hand!
The cold smile on the young man's face seemed to freeze in place.
Lin Qingran's eyes widened as she died with her eyes open!
Ding! Lin Qingran has been killed. Congratulations, Host, for obtaining 1000 Villain Points!
The elders of the Lin Family and everyone in Qingcheng felt as though the sky had fallen.
Their last hope—the delusion that Su Chenxiao might spare them for the sake of his former feelings for Lin Qingran—was shattered at this moment.
Even Lin Qingran was dead...
Would Su Chenxiao still spare them?
Bang!
As though tossing away trash, he casually threw Lin Qingran's corpse onto the ground.
Her eyes were wide open, filled with regret and confusion.
Even at the very end, she had not believed that Su Chenxiao could truly bring himself to kill her!
"Phew..."
Su Chenxiao looked coldly at the corpse on the ground, the corners of his lips lifting slightly.
His thoughts had never felt so unblocked. Even the last trace of gloom in his heart seemed to dissipate.
At that moment, an incomparably beautiful figure slowly appeared at his side.
Su Yaohuang had appeared there at some unknown time.
Expressionless, she looked at Lin Qingran's corpse on the ground, then at her younger brother beside her.
Her vermilion lips parted as she spoke softly.
"Little brother, you did well."
"If the person you liked had merely ordinary talent, the Imperial Clan Su Family would still have the means to cleanse her meridians and marrow, altering her physique."
"It is only a pity that this woman had a heaven-shaking opportunity right beside her, yet she had eyes but could not see."
"How do you intend to deal with the remaining people?"
Su Chenxiao's expression was calm as he spoke slowly.
"I'm a little tired."
"Kill them all."
The moment those words fell, everyone present turned deathly pale!
"What?!"
His hands and face were covered in his own son's blood.
Ye Hongtian, looking like a vicious ghost, was struck as though by lightning. He turned his head in disbelief.
Ye Ling, lying on the ground nearby, had long since lost all signs of life!
Unable to endure the bone-shattering torture, he had died miserably at the hands of his father, Ye Hongtian!
An elder of the Ye Family rushed forward.
His face was pale, and his shriveled old hands tightly clutched Su Chenxiao's robes as he fell to his knees, weeping and begging.
"Young Master Su, Young Master Su!"
"You promised us that you would not touch the Ye Family!"
Su Yaohuang frowned.
With a wave of her hand, a blast of force sent the Ye Family elder flying, his fate unknown.
"You think you are worthy of negotiating terms with my little brother?"
Su Chenxiao looked at the members of the Ye Family and spoke with mockery and ridicule.
"When did I ever promise such a thing?"
Upon hearing those words,
Ye Hongtian's expression turned crazed. His face twisted with resentment as he charged at Su Chenxiao, heedless of his life!
"Bastard!!"
"I'll kill you! I'll kill you!!"
He had personally tortured his own son to death!
All to preserve the Ye Family bloodline!
Yet now, the other party had actually gone back on his word?!
Ding! Ye Hongtian's Dao Heart has shattered. His Divine Soul is in turmoil, and he has fallen into madness. Reward: 500 Villain Points!
Facing Ye Hongtian, whose killing intent surged as though he wished to devour someone alive,
Su Yunxiao merely released the pressure of the Shattering Realm.
It sent Ye Hongtian tumbling uncontrollably to the ground, his body covered in blood!
Boom!
"Patriarch!!"
Ye Hongtian only felt as though his entire body weighed as much as Mount Tai. His bones seemed ready to shatter, and he could not move at all.
Su Chenxiao did not even spare him a glance. Instead, he spoke to his sister, Su Yaohuang, beside him.
"Sis, I'll leave this place to you."
A captivating light flickered in Su Yaohuang's beautiful eyes as she smiled gently.
She knew that her younger brother had finally come to terms with it.
Her younger brother had grown up.
With some affection, Su Yaohuang rubbed Su Chenxiao's head and said,
"Don't worry. Leave this place to me."
"Little brother, you only woke up not long ago. Hurry back and rest."
"If Mother and Father return and see you here, they'll blame me and Eldest Brother again."
Su Chenxiao nodded and turned to leave.
After her younger brother left,
Su Yaohuang withdrew her gentle expression, and her face turned cold in an instant.
Her vivid, flame-like hair drifted softly in the air. Like an emotionless empress, she swept her gaze over every despairing person present.
"You may resist."
"But the result will be the same."
Rumble...
Endless flames surged forth like ocean waves!
The terrifying fire burned everything away, swallowing hundreds of people in a sea of flames in an instant!
The Four Great Dao Lineages and the three clans of Qingcheng all turned pale with horror, fleeing in terror in every direction!
"No!!"
"I don't want to die!!"
"Su Chenxiao, I won't let you go even if I become a ghost!!"
Screams and curses rang out without end...
Before death, some regretted too late and accepted it calmly, while others cursed endlessly and rose up in resistance...
But the result
Was the same.
On this day,
Countless living beings of the Cangshi Realm witnessed an incomparably shocking scene they would never forget for all eternity!
Beneath the dim and chaotic night sky,
Ash filled the heavens, phoenix cries rang long and clear, and flames transformed into a dazzling Phoenix that blotted out the sky and rose into the heavens!
No one knew what they had done wrong.
They only knew this:
On the ninth day of the eighth month, in the year 963 of the Tianxuan Calendar of the Cangshi Realm, at border Qingcheng—
Heaven howled and earth wept as divine flames descended into the world.
The Four Great Dao Lineages and the three clans of Qingcheng were all consumed by blazing fire, sinking into eternal damnation!
