Chen Zhenyu clutched his chest, looking Su Fei up and down.

"Brother, if someone hired you to cause trouble at the Chen Family, no matter how much they pay, we'll offer double. I'm a Hundred Households Officer of the Imperial Guard, I hope you'll give me some face."

Facing this situation.

Su Fei found it amusing and directly removed his black mask.

"Face? Chen Zhenyu, this must be your elder brother Chen Zhenfeng, and Chen Hu. It's been a while. Do I need to give you face? It's great that all three of you are here. See who I am."

As the mask was removed.

Su Fei's face was revealed. Chen Hu saw Su Fei.

He was so terrified he rolled off the bed, scrambling to escape.

"You're not dead. Are you human or ghost?"

Su Fei casually picked up a cup lid and flicked it with his finger. The cup lid, imbued with Xiantian True Essence, struck his knee.

With a 'snap', Chen Hu's knee shattered.

Chen Hu let out a scream, clutching his leg and rolling on the ground.

Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Chen Zhenyu grabbed a long saber from the corner and charged at Su Fei, his Xiantian Realm third-level True Essence erupting.

"Where are the guards? Rush in and kill him!"

The guards outside the courtyard heard the commotion and swarmed in. More than ten guards, armed with swords and sabers, rushed into the main hall.

Facing these Chen Family guards, Su Fei had no intention of leaving any alive.

He drew his saber.

With a clang, a saber's whine.

A lightning-like saber light flashed, instantly killing all the guards.

More than ten heads flew high into the air, blood gushing out and dyeing the carpet red.

Chen Zhenyu stared at the immensely powerful Su Fei before him, falling into a daze.

The Su Fei before him was vastly different from the Su Fei during the assessment a few days ago, the one who needed Captain Li.

They were like two different people.

Both were Xiantian Realm martial artists.

He felt he was far inferior to the strength Su Fei displayed today.

Chen Zhenyu was dumbfounded.

"Your saber art is so terrifying, I understand now. You were definitely hiding your strength before, weren't you?"

"If you're already this strong, why hide it? If I knew you were this strong, I wouldn't have provoked you at all."

"You're already this strong, why did you still conceal your abilities?"

"You must have some unspeakable motive, right?"

Su Fei remained indifferent to Chen Zhenyu's self-narration.

"Motive or no motive, Chen Zhenyu, you can only blame your bad luck for offending me."

Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Chen Zhenyu, facing the unfathomable Su Fei before him.

A glint of madness flashed in his eyes, and he unleashed all his True Essence, executing the Chen Family Saber Art's strongest killing move.

The saber, wrapped in a layer of golden Xiantian True Essence, became incredibly sharp. With a momentum of mutual destruction, it slashed towards Su Fei.

This was the Chen Family's ultimate secret technique, the Mountain Splitting Saber Art. This strike condensed all his True Essence. The saber wind howled, tearing the air with a piercing shriek.

Three saber energies slashed towards Su Fei.

Chen Zhenyu's face lit up with wild joy.

This strike was exhilarating.

It had surpassed his usual limits. Even his martial art realm, which hadn't advanced in several years, showed signs of loosening.

He believed that if he could kill the enemy before him, after today, his martial arts cultivation would surely advance to a higher level.

Facing this powerful strike.

Su Fei's eyes were calm as he circulated his True Essence.

"A dying struggle."

He drew his saber.

He unleashed only one strike.

A purple saber light descended like lightning, as if to cleave through all the gloom in the world.

The next second, the purple saber light cut into the golden light. A blast of energy erupted from the two of them, and the pillars in the main hall snapped.

The golden saber shadow was completely annihilated by the lightning.

Chen Zhenyu felt an immense force surge through his saber, his arm instantly going numb.

If you find this book enjoyable, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.

He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, already seriously injured.

He looked at the cold indifference in Su Fei's eyes with disbelief. His pride and joy, the Chen Family Saber Art, had been so easily broken by the opponent.

The moment he lost focus, Su Fei unleashed a saber strike.

A stunning saber gleam flashed.

Chen Zhenyu's arms were severed by the saber light, and hot blood splashed all over the carpet.

Su Fei didn't rush to finish him off.

Instead, he spoke word by word.

"Captain Chen, you used military crossbows and hired assassins to intercept an Imperial Guard General Banner Officer. Do you know your mistake?"

The searing pain engulfed Chen Zhenyu. He trembled all over, almost fainting from the agony, his eyes filled with terror.

"General Banner Officer Su, spare my life! I know I was wrong. It was a moment of foolishness. Please, for the sake of our shared status as fellow Hundred Households Officers, let me go this once. Please don't kill me. Just let the laws of the Imperial Guard deal with me."

Su Fei let out a cold laugh.

"Fellow officers? Let the laws deal with you?"

"When you sent people to assassinate me, did you ever consider our camaraderie?"

With that, Su Fei struck again with his saber.

Chen Zhenyu's head flew high into the air, his eyes still frozen with the last vestiges of shock and unwillingness.

His headless corpse crashed to the ground, blood gushing out.

Seeing this, Chen Zhenfeng lunged forward, attempting a desperate struggle, but Su Fei struck him in the chest with a palm.

The Xiantian True Essence surged like a raging fire burning his heart. Chen Zhenfeng, the eldest son of the Chen family, died on the spot.

Su Fei slowly walked towards Chen Hu. The latter, seeing his father's tragic death and his uncle's severed arm, had never witnessed such a scene.

Tears streamed down his face as he kowtowed on the ground, his head banging like a pestle.

"Lord Su, spare my life! I will never dare to offend you again. Please, let me go."

"Now you know your mistake? It's too late."

Su Fei brought his saber down. Blood spurted from Chen Hu's throat, and he quickly died.

After dealing with the core members of the Chen family, he didn't stop. He put on his black mask again.

He patrolled the Chen family mansion.

Any guards who resisted were killed by having their meridians shattered.

Half an hour later, the Chen family mansion was silent.

Su Fei stood in the center of the main hall, looking at the mess on the ground, and slowly sheathed his saber.

He placed the Gale Crossbow in the living room.

Using his blood-stained saber tip, he began to write on the wall.

"The Chen family colluded with the Qingzhou Army to trade military supplies in secret. We have now exterminated the Chen family to act on behalf of Heaven."

With this message, the downfall of the Chen family would likely not cause too much of a stir.

Even if a Hundred Households Officer of the Imperial Guard died, it would be treated as a scandal.

Some things were never meant to see the light of day.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the mission 'Revenge for grievances, retribution for enmity'. You have received the reward Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms and forty years of cultivation. Do you wish to claim it now?]

Su Fei was secretly pleased. He then searched the bodies of the three Chen family members and found several thousand taels of silver notes, which he pocketed.

He left the Chen mansion with a flourish.

The Chen family of Qingzhou, a clan that had been entrenched in Qingzhou for many years, was reduced to dust under his saber.

As for killing so many of the Chen family's guards, Su Fei felt no regret.

If his strength and fists weren't powerful enough, it wouldn't have been the Chen uncle and nephew and their guards who died, but himself.

In this world where strength is paramount, power is always the most important thing.

Su Fei used the salvaged silver to buy a pot of wine, a roasted duck, and a few pounds of pig's head meat.

He considered it a celebration of his revenge.

Upon returning home, he put away his finances and placed the purchased wine and meat on the table.

He first ate and drank heartily.

Then, he silently recited in his mind.

"System, claim Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms and forty years of cultivation."

[Claiming reward, acquired martial art Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms (Initiate level), forty years of cultivation.]

In an instant, the move diagrams for the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms entered Su Fei's mind: Dragon Ascending to Heaven, Soaring Dragon in the Sky, Dragon Appears in the Field, Dragon Wags its Tail, Twin Dragons Play for Water, Six Dragons Ride the Wind
