One Man Annihilates a Clan

"Useless resistance. You know nothing of power!"

Chu He spoke calmly.

Then, his raised palm pressed downward.

The black-robed Protector, along with the Charm Clan members who had just broken free and tried to flee, were all enveloped. A heavy domain of force spread out, and the gravity throughout the entire hall abruptly increased by more than a thousandfold.

Boom!

With a thunderous roar, the entire hall was reduced to dust, and even the ground sank deeply downward by a layer.

The Charm Clan members who had still been trying to flee were instantly crushed to death by the gravity. The black-robed Protector at the Half-step King Realm only held on for one extra breath before his body shattered inch by inch into pulp amid an unwilling roar.

Chu He had long since flashed into the air. He glanced at the ruins below and only looked away after confirming that no life aura remained within.

He looked toward the Zhang Family disciples who had noticed the disturbance and were rushing over from all directions.

They had obediently run over themselves, saving him the trouble of killing them one by one.

These people all harbored alien powers within their bodies, and each was shrouded in blood baleful intent and resentment. They had clearly killed many innocent people who bore them no grudge. Within the Zhang Family estate, the heaps of white bones were the best proof.

These people deserved to die!

Chu He stood quietly with his hands behind his back, waiting.

Only after most of them had arrived did he make his move.

With a wave of his hand, countless shattered stones on the ground erupted into motion.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Pebbles shot through the air like falling meteors, trailing flames ignited by the tearing and scorching of space as they bombarded the Zhang Family disciples, who still had no idea what was happening.

Blood flowed into rivers!

Today, the Zhang Family was wiped out!

Chu He remained silent.

He suddenly realized that after reading in the Book Repository for several decades, his state of mind had changed somewhat.

Before, he had only wanted to sign in quietly until he could lie low and become the strongest.

He had not wanted to meddle in any trivial affairs.

Good people, bad people!

What did they have to do with him!

That had been his mindset when he had first arrived.

But today.

He had first meddled in a minor matter at the foot of the mountain, and after coming up here and seeing the Zhang Family's monstrous crimes, he had directly acted to flatten them.

His mindset had changed a little!

Chu He stroked his chin as he analyzed it.

It probably was not entirely because of reading books.

His strength had also grown, and his mindset had changed along with it.

He had become more free-spirited.

He had been weak before, so he had needed to tread carefully.

Now, there was no need!

Simply put, he had swelled with confidence!

"Forget it! It's only a small matter. No need to dwell on it. I'll let the little girl out and return to the Book Repository to keep staying there."

Chu He moved, vanishing from where he stood.

The Zhang Family dungeon!

Zhao Yuling was imprisoned inside a cage forged from gold and copper.

She was in terrible condition, utterly bedraggled!

Her hands and feet were bound by black chains. These were Law-Sealing Chains, suppressing all the True Qi in her body. Even her body had become weak and limp, unable to muster any strength.

The entire cage was shrouded in a greedy, sinister yin aura that seeped into Zhao Yuling's body from every direction.

Her mind was hazy and muddled.

"Little Chu Brother!"

"Little Chu Brother! Don't run!"

Dreamy murmurs escaped her lips, and her fair cheeks were flushed with excited crimson.

At that moment, the space behind her twisted, and Chu He appeared with his hands behind his back.

Seeing Zhao Yuling's bashful expression as she called his name, Chu He looked astonished.

What was this girl dreaming about?

Chu He sniffed.

The yin aura throughout this dungeon carried a greedy power capable of stirring the desires within one's heart and magnifying them without limit.

After being corroded by such power, Zhao Yuling should have gone mad, roared wildly, and worn a hideous expression.

Why did she look like this instead?

Chu He was curious.

He could not resist sensing with his heart.

Then his brows lifted, and a strange look appeared in his eyes.

What this girl had been stirred into was actually lust!

Damn!

This little girl had her lust aroused, so why did she keep calling his name?

What a sin!

After thinking it over, Chu He did not interrupt her directly.

Of course, it was not because he had discovered that Zhao Yuling was fantasizing about him and wanted to enjoy the sense of accomplishment.

He did not have that kind of perverse taste.

He did not interrupt because Chu He had realized that this was the best opportunity for Zhao Yuling to break through.

Over the years, her cultivation had accumulated long ago to a sufficient extent. It had only been suppressed because of her state of mind.

After so many years, her state of mind had steadily grown more stable. This time, she had been captured and tempered by the Charm Clan's greedy yin aura. If it lasted any longer, she might be crippled, but right now, it was just right.

Her state of mind stood at the brink of collapse, but it was also at the very limit of being tempered.

Fortune and misfortune were only a single step apart.

With a wave of Chu He's hand, the chains binding Zhao Yuling shattered apart.

At the same time, a bead appeared in his hand.

The Dao Realm Pearl!

Combined with Zhao Yuling's current circumstances, it could raise her cultivation of the mind to another level.

Chu He reached out and pressed it down. The bead melted into Zhao Yuling's smooth, jade-like forehead and entered the sea of her consciousness.

After that.

Three King Breakthrough Pills!

The medicinal power melted in Chu He's palm before being sent into Zhao Yuling's body.

"I've done everything I can. The rest will depend on you!"

Chu He sat down cross-legged, folded his arms, and watched quietly.

Zhao Yuling, who had been wildly chasing after Chu He, suddenly felt a chill in her mind. Her awareness and thoughts gradually returned.

She recalled her current predicament.

Alas!

She sighed, seeming somewhat reluctant to let it end.

However, now was not the time to savor those things. She was in danger and needed to escape as soon as possible—that was what mattered.

She knew what was important.

Just as she closed her eyes in thought, trying to devise a way to escape.

An unfathomable thought appeared in her mind, reminding and urging her!

Break through!

Break through!

At the same time, the True Qi that had originally been suppressed within her body began to circulate on its own, charging toward the barrier of her realm.

She was given no time to consider whether this was the right moment to break through.

It had already begun. There was no turning back.

From the Innate Realm to the King Realm was the first emergence of a martial will's prototype, the process of compressing and refining True Qi into true essence.

Once it began, it could not be stopped.

If it stopped, it meant failure.

If it failed, she would suffer backlash. At best, she would be severely injured; at worst, she would die.

Zhao Yuling understood this very well.

So, once she realized the situation, she began actively controlling the True Qi in her body, circulating her Cultivation Method and attempting a breakthrough.

Although the opportunity to break through had arrived abruptly.

Zhao Yuling did not panic.

Chu He had long since told her what she needed to do when breaking through.

Step by step!

Zhao Yuling had accumulated enough, and Chu He had also given her several layers of protection. The King Realm held no difficulty for her.

It went very smoothly!

Amid a howling sound, surging power rose layer upon layer like crashing waves, striking the gold-and-copper dungeon with loud clangs.

The King Realm.

She had succeeded!

A smile appeared on Chu He's face. He placed the two sheets of blood paper in Zhao Yuling's hand, then moved and vanished.

He had done everything he needed to do. It was time to return and continue signing in.

P.S. Thanks to big boss Taihuang Shijie for another generous hundred-unit reward.
