You're Not Worthy to Say Anything About Him

Although the Thunder Python Sword was immensely powerful, it consumed an enormous amount of vital energy. Unless necessary, Tang Tian was unwilling to use it lightly.

Now that the Tang Family's experts had also joined the attack against the Lin Family, cultivators above the Organs-Hiding Realm would not come looking for him.

With Tang Tian's strength, charging into the Lin Family experts' ranks was truly like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.

The strongest cultivator in the Lin Family was Lin Changdong. Though a few of the other elders had Early Soul-Emergence Realm cultivation, their aptitude limited them, and their strength was quite ordinary.

Watching Lin Family members below fall one after another, blood spraying everywhere, Lin Changdong was filled with regret.

He should never have let Lin Yichen go to the Tang Family to propose marriage to the Qin Family. Otherwise, how could a dispute have arisen and led to the life-and-death battle that followed?

If this continued, sooner or later, the Lin Family would be reduced to him alone.

Moreover, Lin Changdong knew that he was no match for Tang Lingyun. If they continued fighting, only defeat and death awaited him.

"Tang Lingyun, must you truly be so ruthless?"

Lin Changdong gnashed his teeth, his longsword repeatedly stabbing toward Tang Lingyun's chest.

Yet he had no chance whatsoever of injuring his opponent.

Tang Lingyun remained calm. "What, you were the one who said we should fight to the death, and you're also the one calling me ruthless. Are all you Lin Family people this shameless? Since you insist on an endless fight, I'll grant your wish. After today, there will be no more Lin Family!"

Lin Changdong's face turned exceedingly ugly at those words. He roared, "Brother Tiande, if the Qin Family comes to our aid, I guarantee that the Lin Family will offer one-third of our assets in thanks."

The more he had once wanted to avoid facing an expert like Tang Lingyun, the more he was now forced to face him.

Qin Tiande was greatly tempted, but Ye Qingyuan stood in front of him, making him secretly furious.

"Brother Ye, how about you stay out of this matter? Once I join forces with the Lin Family to destroy the Tang Family, I will properly repay you."

Qin Tiande could only promise Ye Qingyuan benefits.

Ye Qingyuan smiled faintly and shook his head. "Brother Qin, say no more. Either you and I fight, or you behave and stay where you are. The Lin Family and Tang Family can settle their own affairs. We only need to wait patiently for the outcome."

Wait for the outcome?

What a joke. Given everything happening before their eyes, what was there left to wait for?

Because of Lin Yichen's death, the Lin Family's morale had already weakened considerably. Now, under Tang Tian's slaughter, the battle had become even more one-sided.

If they delayed any longer, even if the Qin Family wanted to help, it would be too late.

"Let's do it!"

Qin Tiande gritted his teeth and decided to take the gamble.

Now that Lin Yichen was dead, if the Qin Family wanted to gain enormous benefits, they could only tie themselves to the same boat as the Lin Family.

"Looks like Brother Tiande has made his decision. Then make your move."

Ye Qingyuan's expression remained tranquil. Among the heads of the four great families, he alone stood apart from worldly affairs and was also the most mysterious.

It could be said that although they were both Soul-Emergence Realm experts, no one knew just how powerful Ye Qingyuan truly was.

"Qin Family members, heed my command! Quickly aid the Lin Family and destroy the Tang Family!"

Qin Tiande shouted loudly. A long saber then appeared in his hand, and he was the first to slash at Ye Qingyuan.

Ye Qingyuan shook his head. "Brother Tiande, why must it come to this? You harm others and yourself."

"Men die for wealth, birds die for food. The four great families should have had a reckoning long ago."

A cold gleam flashed in Qin Tiande's eyes as his long saber reached Ye Qingyuan.

With a wave of his hand, Ye Qingyuan produced an azure longsword and met the attack.

"A Top-Grade Spirit Artifact?"

Qin Tiande's voice trembled. Only now did he recall that the family head before him rarely involved himself in worldly matters, yet loved artifact forging above all else.

If one could forge artifacts, would the weapon one used be inferior?

Then he looked at the saber in his own hand. It was merely a Lower-Grade Spirit Artifact. Compared with Ye Qingyuan's weapon, it suddenly seemed rather shabby.

"Ah!"

At that moment, a shrill scream rang out, drawing Qin Tiande's attention.

"You damned bitch! Yuexi!"

Qin Tiande's eyes nearly split apart as he saw Qin Yuexi pierced through by a snow-white longsword, blood scattering across the ground.

The one who had attacked was Ye Ruxue. Since the Qin Family had made their stance clear, there was no need to be polite any longer.

Ye Ruxue had long found Qin Yuexi displeasing. Now that she could act, how could she show mercy?

"Thank you for making it possible for me to meet him, but you're not worthy to say anything about him."

Ye Ruxue spoke so softly that only Qin Yuexi could hear her.

Him?

Qin Yuexi's eyes grew unfocused. As she neared death, Tang Tian's face unexpectedly surfaced in her mind—his arrogant, peerless bearing, his complete disregard for her pride. It filled her with regret and hatred!

"You should reflect on your own daughter's death. Since you chose to seek benefits, you must also pay the price. You insulted my daughter just now. Sorry, but I'll be taking your life."

Ye Qingyuan looked at Qin Tiande, coldness flickering in his gaze.

No one could humiliate his precious daughter—not even with a single filthy word!

Qin Tiande's eyes were bloodshot, his rage beyond restraint. He roared, "Ye Qingyuan, kill me if you can! Do you think I'm afraid of you? What are you pretending to be so lofty for? Go die!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

His long saber slashed several times in succession, tearing crack after crack through the air as he fought Ye Qingyuan desperately.

Ye Qingyuan's expression turned icy. The sword in his hand struck with even greater sharpness, as though he had found his opponent's flaw, evading the terrifying saber force.

If Tang Tian had had the time to glance at Ye Qingyuan then, he would have fully understood why Ye Ruxue was so cold.

Like father, like daughter!

When Ye Qingyuan became angry, even his aura turned colder.

Ye Ruxue glanced at her father fighting Qin Tiande, then looked into the distance at Tang Tian, already covered in blood. Her figure flashed, and she swiftly rushed toward Tang Tian.

Jia Shiming and Xing Zhan stood on the viewing platform like mere passersby, watching the four great families engage in a chaotic melee in the square.

"General, the conflict between two families has now escalated into a deathmatch between all four great families. It's truly too chaotic..."

Jia Shiming watched with his heart pounding, deeply afraid that these people would kill until their eyes turned red and spare not even him.

Xing Zhan was unconcerned. He waved his hand and said, "What are you afraid of? With me here, nothing will happen to you. As for the four great families fighting, it's only a minor scuffle. Starfall City truly should change its landscape."

Sweat beaded on Jia Shiming's forehead. He stood obediently and did not dare say another word.

Tang Tian was not a bloodthirsty person, but he showed no mercy in his attacks. Once one showed mercy to an enemy, one merely gave oneself a chance to die.

Why had he desperately raised his cultivation during this time?

To vent his anger?

He also needed to use his own strength to prove to the world that he was not trash!

Tang Tian happened to see Qin Yuexi die, but he felt no sympathy.

When everyone made a decision, they had to take responsibility for themselves.

Tang Tian was deeply moved by Ye Ruxue, but he could not help feeling worried as well. Qin Tiande would surely hate her to the bone...

"Tang Tian, die!"

At that moment, Tang Tian saw a dazzling streak of white before his eyes. A long saber carrying a fierce aura had already reached him!
