confrontation

Meanwhile, within the Feng family, the family members and their allies gathered in the main hall, seated on luxurious chairs. At the forefront sat four elderly men, the patriarchs of the four families. Everyone appeared calm, and one of them said, "No need to worry, with the four of us here, even if Long Chen breaches the innate world, we can kill him."

Another laughed, saying, "Ha ha ha, you're right, he is the only one worth paying attention to in the Long family. As for the others, even the strongest of them haven't reached the Spirit Cleansing Realm, isn't that so?"

Another added, "We'll let him watch his family be destroyed before him!"

"You're right!" others agreed happily.

Feng Ru drank a cup of warm wine merrily, and the four chatted happily, quickly downing six cups of wine.

Suddenly, they heard the sound of rapid footsteps. Upon hearing the sound, Feng Ru frowned and threw the empty wine jar to the ground. Tang Xin and the others stopped talking and followed the sound with their eyes.

They saw a family servant in grey clothes rushing towards them in a panic, so anxious that he stumbled to the ground accidentally.

Feng Ru felt angry and rebuked him, saying, "How can you behave in such a panic?!" His voice was like a thunderclap, immediately frightening the servant.

Tang Xin's eyes moved slightly, and he immediately stood up and walked towards the servant. "Tell me, what happened to make you so panicked?"

Only then did the servant remember his task. "It's the Long family! Many members of the Long family are here! Including Long Chen! They are killing everyone they see. They've killed many of our brothers."

These words were like a bolt from the blue, causing the faces of the four men to darken suddenly.

Bang!

Feng Ru suddenly stood up and looked at the sword placed aside. He stretched his stiff palms, spread his fingers, and grasped the sword handle. He picked up the large sword and swung it several times, creating a shocking strong wind.

He said angrily, "Why does he care so much? Since they dared to come to us, we must welcome them. I'll make sure to spill their blood here today!"

After saying that, he prepared to leave the hall. Seeing this, Tang Xin and the others immediately prepared to leave for the front yard, followed closely by their four patriarchs.

Soon, they began to hear the sounds of fighting clearly. After a few more steps, they smelled the pungent scent of blood. The strong scent made their expressions grow darker. How many people had died already? Thinking about this, everyone hastened their steps towards the front yard.

Gradually, the scene before them became clear. Many of their clan members, dressed in family attire, were already lying on the ground in disarray. Corpses were scattered everywhere, and blood was everywhere. The surrounding grass and trees were stained with dense patches of blood.

The fighting continued, as they witnessed a member of their clan beheaded by a Long family member with a sword. The biggest problem was that this person's cultivation level was at the Spirit Cleansing Realm but was killed by someone from the Body Refining Realm. The fury in the patriarchs' hearts could no longer be suppressed and rose to the sky!

Veins bulged fiercely on both sides of Feng Ru's temples, and his eyes were extremely red, like a mad beast!

He shouted, "I'll kill you all!" and took his sword, rushing towards the crowd with a single attack, attempting to split the nearest Long family member in half. The young Long family member was immediately terrified to death and accidentally fell to the ground!

At this moment, Long Chen, who was among the crowd, suddenly noticed this scene. Focusing his eyes, he raised his arm, pointed in the direction, and flicked his finger!

Screech---

A stream of innate energy shot from his fingertips and pierced Feng Ru's head in an instant, then exploded like a watermelon! Blood splattered everywhere.

Feng Ru's headless body fell directly to the ground. Seeing this horrific scene, the remaining three patriarchs were immediately frightened and their faces turned pale!

One of them shouted, "Long...Long Chen?!" Tang Xin's pupils shrank quickly. He never expected that Feng Ru, who had reached the half-step innate level like them, would not be a match for Long Chen!

Long Chen shook his head, too lazy to talk nonsense. He immediately leaped, like a fierce tiger pouncing on the ground, sweeping along the remaining winds and clouds, devouring mountains and rivers!

Facing this power, Tang Xin and the others were immediately scared and couldn't move. Their hearts pounded violently, as if about to jump out of their chests. Tang Xin on the side wasn't in a better state either. His first reaction was not to fight but to retreat quickly and get away!

Soon, Tang Xin, who was stunned, became Long Chen's target. The cold, sharp blade caught everyone's attention. With a gentle slash, it closed the throat, and blood splattered everywhere!

Tang Xin's eyes widened, filled with unwillingness, and his expression gradually dimmed. He then fell directly to the ground, lifeless.

At this time, Long Chen saw him decapitate two more people effortlessly. The Long family members fighting couldn't help but feel refreshed and fought more bravely.

On the other hand, everyone on the battlefield looked pale and lacked fighting spirit. Long Chen said coldly, "If you want to survive, kill a member of the Long family in a one-on-one duel, and I'll spare you."

He looked at them coldly, making them feel a suffocating sense of pressure. It was as if they would lose their lives and become corpses if they said another word.

Tick... tick...

Points of innate energy gathered on the battlefield, and anyone whose cultivation level reached the Spirit Cleansing Realm was suppressed to the Body Refining Realm.
