Chapter 155 Kill
Outside, a cold wind howled; inside, all was deathly silent.

Hong Jinfeng froze on the spot, his mind filled with various information about Su Chen.

The fact that he could defeat Hong Qi, who was at the peak of the Bone Forging Realm, after achieving only the minor stage of Bone Forging, and whose strength was comparable to Hong Ke, who was at the first stage of the Blood Moving Realm, was astonishing.

I thought this was Su Chen's limit, but I never expected that he would directly step into the Blood Transformation Realm.

The surging power of qi and blood made Hong Jinfeng's eyelids twitch.

Just how much strength is this guy hiding?
Why does seeing him always bring such heavy pressure and boundless fear?
unimaginable!

At this moment, Hong Jinfeng, who was at the third level of the Blood Transformation Realm, felt a chill run through his body and mind, and all of this was caused by the person in front of him.

But these were secondary; he was more interested in knowing how Su Chen cultivated.

From cultivating internal organs to moving blood, it might take an ordinary person most of their life to achieve this, but Su Chen has only been cultivating for a short time and is still very old, yet he has already reached a height that others can hardly reach in their entire lives.

Given a few years, Su Chen has achieved such success. If we continue to let Su Chen grow unchecked, what will become of him?

Thinking of this, Hong Jinfeng was filled with endless killing intent amidst his shock, and his gaze toward Su Chen became extremely cold.

kill!

Non-my family, its heart must be different.

Moreover, the feud between the two sides had reached an irreconcilable point, and he could not allow Su Chen to continue to grow stronger.

Since that's the case, then let's fight to the death and nip it in the bud.

"So what if you've reached the Blood Transformation Realm? You're going to die today!"

An intense killing intent emanated from Hong Jinfeng without any attempt to conceal it, spreading in all directions and causing the surrounding temperature to drop to freezing point. Even from several meters away, one could still feel the bone-chilling cold.

Hong Jingrui had thought of these things as well. Although he had never actually met Su Chen, this meeting had left a deep impression on him, so much so that it almost overturned his understanding of Su Chen.

Without further ado, Hong Jinfeng charged forward first. He heard only the soft sound of footsteps on the ground before seeing a ghostly figure burst forth, leaping several meters in an instant and arriving in front of Su Chen.

A powerful force swirled around the palm, appearing blood-red under the reflection of the blood and qi, and even the air seemed to vibrate slightly.

Hong Jinfeng unleashed a palm strike, the force of which surged forth like a tidal wave, parting layers of air and transforming into a streak of black silk that roared towards him.

At the third level of Blood Transformation, one's power can extend more than a foot outwards. The power brought about by such a close-range burst is truly astonishing.

Almost as soon as the force was released, gusts of wind swept around, blowing dust and scattering fallen leaves.

However, facing Hong Jinfeng's murderous attack, Su Chen dodged it with agile footwork.

He leaped to Hong Jingrui's side, clenched his fist, and unleashed a powerful punch.

boom!
The palm strike was incredibly fierce, striking the pillar behind Su Chen with a thunderous sound that drowned out the shockwave from Su Chen's punch.

Hong Jingrui felt a terrifying force rushing towards him, and what he saw was as if he were seeing a giant tiger full of blood.

This punch intertwined five forces, possessing the sharpness of metal, the life and death of wood, the burning of fire, the softness of water, and the weight of earth. They constantly transformed into each other until they finally merged completely. When the punch was less than an arm's length away from Hong Jingrui, it collided with several times the force, exploding into a dazzling flower in the air.

"what?"

Hong Jingrui stared in disbelief at the scene before him, his pupils dilating in shock. The change was too fast; he hadn't even had time to react.

He had no idea that Su Chen's strength would erupt at the last moment with power several times greater than that of a normal Blood Refining Realm Level 1 cultivator, approaching the level of Blood Refining Realm Level 2.

boom!
Su Chen's violent force directly broke through the energy barrier hastily formed by Hong Jingrui, and then, with no reduction in momentum, it surged into his body like a tidal wave. The powerful impact forced him to stagger back several steps, and a mouthful of blood uncontrollably gushed out from his throat.

With just one move, Su Chen defeated Hong Jingrui, who was at the second level of the Blood Transformation Realm!

Upon seeing this scene, Hong Jinfeng's pupils suddenly contracted, and a familiar feeling welled up in his heart.

The Blood Refining Realm One defeating the Blood Refining Realm Two is just like the Bone Forging Minor Completion Realm Strongly Killing the Bone Forging Perfection Realm at that very moment. It is so vividly presented in front of him that he feels as if he has been in another world.

"Jingrui, are you alright?"

A moment later, Hong Jinfeng stepped forward and stood in front of Hong Jingrui, reaching out to grab him.

The moment the force touched Hong Jingrui's wrist, Hong Jinfeng's expression changed drastically; he had never seen such chaotic power before.

Within Hong Jingrui's body, it seemed as if countless forces were surging within him, with various forces recklessly destroying his internal organs. With just a simple contact, he could feel three or four different forces, each no weaker than Hong Jingrui's own.

puff!
Hong Jingrui coughed up another mouthful of blood, his momentum weakened, his face suddenly turned pale, his brows furrowed deeply, and the wrinkles on his face tightened together.

Every inch of his skin betrayed his pain.

Wow!
Just as Hong Jinfeng was about to help Hong Jingrui sit down, a sudden whooshing sound rang out. Looking in the direction of the sound, he saw that Su Chen had no intention of giving Hong Jingrui a chance to recover and was charging straight at him.

"court death!"

Seeing this, Hong Jinfeng roared and suddenly struck out with a palm, unleashing a torrent of dark energy that swept towards Su Chen like a tidal wave.

Su Chen's eyes narrowed, a fierce light flashing within them. Undeterred, he threw a punch, his inner strength circulating wildly and instantly condensing in his palm before being unleashed with a thunderous roar.

boom!
Two terrifyingly powerful streams of energy collided violently, creating a deafening impact like the thunder of drums, and spewing out terrifying droplets of energy that shot in all directions.

"A hidden dagger!"

Su Chen did not stop. Taking advantage of the moment when his fist and palm collided, his other arm violently shook. At the critical moment, he seized the opportunity and the knife in his sleeve burst out, turning into a dazzling blade of light that fell down and slashed diagonally at Hong Jingrui's shoulder.

Click.

The goose-feather blade pierced through flesh and blood, colliding with bones and producing a crisp metallic sound.

puff!
This strike completely shattered the balance within Hong Jingrui's body, causing him to uncontrollably spurt out a mouthful of blood.

"Jingrui!"

Hong Jinfeng's eyes widened in surprise, and he exclaimed.

However, Su Chen responded with the decisiveness of cutting water with a knife; the blade sliced ​​through bone, producing a harsh, grinding sound.

As the goose-feather dagger was withdrawn, a large amount of blood gushed from Hong Jingrui's wound.

Su Chen took a few steps back, staring intently at the two of them with a deep gaze.

"you……"

Blood kept flowing from Hong Jingrui's mouth and wounds, and his vital energy was getting weaker and weaker, but his eyes were fixed on Su Chen, full of resentment.

He was unwilling to die like this, killed by Su Chen without even a chance to make a move.

"I...I...am not...willing...to..."

thump.

Before he could finish speaking, Hong Jingrui stopped breathing completely, his dead fish-like eyes never leaving Su Chen.

Hong Jinfeng's eyes were bloodshot, his body trembling. He closed Hong Jingrui's eyelids, then glared at Su Chen and said through gritted teeth, "I want you dead!"

"It's your turn."

Su Chen smiled coldly, uttered a word, and then his figure shot out, a storm of energy surging forth like a tidal wave.

When he saw Su Chen charging towards him, he could no longer suppress the hatred in his heart and charged forward to meet Su Chen head-on.

Bang bang bang!
At this moment, the two seemed to have transformed into human-shaped energy, their every move radiating energy, each strike a collision of forces.

It is a clash of vital energy and a duel of techniques.

The entire room was filled with the energy emanating from the two of them, flying everywhere and turning everything in its path into dust and debris.

In less than ten breaths, the two had exchanged over a hundred blows, their momentum undiminished.

After a fierce exchange, the two retreated. Hong Jinfeng stared at Su Chen with a solemn expression, his breathing somewhat disordered.

In contrast, Su Chen remained calm.

He gave Hung Kam-Fung no chance to recover and charged forward again. Hung Kam-Fung cursed under his breath when he saw this.

Bang bang bang!
The two clashed again, even more fiercely than before. Su Chen unleashed his power relentlessly, without weakening in the slightest, and gradually began to gain the upper hand, suppressing Hong Jinfeng.

As Hong Jinfeng fought, he became increasingly alarmed. He no longer had time to delve into why Su Chen's strength and blood energy were so formidable. Faced with Su Chen's relentless onslaught, he even felt a slight urge to retreat.

Su Chen sensed this retreat and his offensive became even more ferocious. No matter what, he would not let Hong Jinfeng go today.

Today, either Hung Kam-fung dies, or Hung Kam-fung dies; there is no other outcome!
"what!"

The prolonged battle caused Hong Jinfeng to lose focus for a moment, which Su Chen seized upon. However, instead of killing his opponent with a single strike, Su Chen threw a punch, his fist the size of a sandbag, aimed directly at Hong Jinfeng's face, catching him completely off guard.

Half of his cheekbone shattered instantly under Su Chen's terrifying fist, twisting his entire face. But Hong Jinfeng didn't care at all. As Su Chen's attacks became more and more terrifying, his desire to retreat intensified, and a fear of death lingered in his heart.

Unfortunately, Su Chen gave him no chance to escape. A barrage of punches, palm strikes, and kicks surged like waves, one after another. He seemed to have transformed into a tireless machine, attacking Hong Jinfeng from all directions. The anger and killing intent on Hong Jinfeng's face gradually faded, replaced by the fear of facing death. He didn't want to die, and he certainly didn't want to be beaten to death by Su Chen!
But this is no longer something he can decide.

Su Chen had no intention of letting him leave. He blocked all of Hong Jinfeng's escape routes, giving him no chance to escape.

Then, he started punching him repeatedly.

It pounded on his face, on his chest, all over his body... like a human punching bag, bearing the endless rage unleashed by Su Chen.

He suffered greatly until his death!
Hong Jinfeng stood with his head down, and there was no trace of the Hong clan leader's former glory on his body. Instead, he was covered in wounds, bloodstains, and a body that was swollen beyond recognition.

Clang.

Hong Jinfeng's body fell heavily to the ground in front of Su Chen, raising a cloud of dust, which gradually calmed the killing intent in Su Chen's heart.

After a long while, Su Chen walked towards the two of them, not forgetting his original intention, and bent down to explore.

The two men held high positions, yet they possessed nothing of value. Su Chen had anticipated this and, unconcerned, turned and left the abandoned house.

He settled Hong Ming and Li Mo in another place, and since so much time had passed, it was time to go find them.

Not long after Su Chen left, a figure entered the abandoned house.

Even though he already knew the outcome, when he saw the three corpses, an indescribable shock instantly swept over him.

Wen Qingqiu stood there dumbfounded as if he had seen a ghost, his expression changing.

Recently, his strength has improved, and he originally intended to take revenge on the Hong family, but he accidentally saw Hong Jinfeng and Hong Jingrui.

So they followed the two to this place, and unexpectedly witnessed an earth-shattering battle.

What terrified him even more was that the ultimate victor in this battle was actually that young man!
The shock it brought him lasted for a long time.

After a short while, Wen Qingqiu recovered, his face filled with wild joy: "Three corpses are enough for my demon blood to advance further. This is truly a godsend! Hahaha..."

After saying this, he showed no disgust and carried the three corpses into the night.

Inside a certain inn.

"Master, why aren't you worried about Junior Brother at all?"

Li Mo paced back and forth, and seeing Hong Ming sitting calmly reading a book, he couldn't help but ask.

He vaguely guessed that Su Chen was planning to seek revenge on those people.

He was very worried about going alone, and the fact that he hadn't returned for so long made him even more worried.

"What are you worried about?" Hong Ming said without looking up. This is the Bone Forging Realm, a Bone Forging Martial Artist. The ones who should be worried are Hong Jinchen and his group.

Even so, one could still detect a hint of worry in Hong Ming's eyes, after all, Su Chen had offended the Hong family!
"of course……"

Squeak.

Before Li Mo could finish speaking, the door opened, and Su Chen, who had changed into clean clothes, walked in.

"Are you alright?" Li Mo asked anxiously upon seeing Su Chen, and Hong Ming also stood up.

Su Chen shook his head: "I'm fine. Let's go, let's get out of here first."

It was still early, and there was no curfew in Fengbei City, so Su Chen planned to take the two of them to the Qiao residence.

"Okay!" The two nodded.

Half an hour later, the three arrived at Fengbei City.

"If even Fengbei City is bigger than Qinghe City, then wouldn't Dafeng City be even bigger?"

On the way here, Su Chen had already told the two the whole story in a simplified and tactful way, avoiding the important points.

Su Chen smiled and led the two to the Qiao residence.

When Qiao Qiliang learned that Su Chen had returned with his men, he hurriedly went out to greet them.

"Young Master Qiao."

"Master Hong, Brother Li, just call me Qiliang."

Su Chen introduced the two to each other, explaining that Qiao Qiliang had already arranged rooms and led the two to a new courtyard, where maids and servants were assigned to serve them.

After settling Hong Ming and Li Mo in, the two left. After chatting with Qiao Qiliang for a while, Su Chen returned to his room to rest.

……

In a small courtyard.

"My lord, look what I have brought back for you."

Wen Qingqiu excitedly carried the three corpses back, placed them in the yard, and shouted into the house.

"What are you yelling about?" The cloaked man snorted and stepped out.

Upon seeing the three corpses on the ground, he exclaimed in surprise, "Did you kill them all?"

Wen Qingqiu quickly shook his head: "No, they were killed by others, Your Excellency. They were Hong Jinfeng, the patriarch of the Hong clan, Hong Jingrui, the sect master of the Xuan Shui Sect, and another unknown but fairly powerful member of the Hong clan."

"Who killed him?" the cloaked man asked in surprise.

“He’s a young man. I guess he’s from the prefectural city. Otherwise, there’s no way to find someone like him in such a large place as Qinzhou. They’re just unlucky to have run into such a powerful young man,” Wen Qingqiu replied.

The cloaked man nodded upon hearing this, and after glancing at the three corpses for a moment, he said, "Good luck. I'm not planning on leaving anyway, so I'll use them to enhance your strength."

"Huh?" Wen Qingqiu was taken aback. The envoy wasn't leaving?

"What 'ah'? Dafeng City is about to undergo a major change. At that time, all kinds of forces will flock to Dafeng City, and it will become the center of Donglin Prefecture. Naturally, I will stay here," the cloaked man replied.

"Oh? Why is that?" Wen Qingqiu asked.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. You'll find out in time."

"Yes."

After a pause, the cloaked man asked again, "By the way, how's that guy I asked you to keep an eye on doing now?"

"He went to Da Yan City and hasn't returned yet."

"Then let's wait until he gets back to discuss it."

After saying that, the cloaked man told Wen Qingqiu to bring the three corpses into the house.

……

This day.

"Haha, Lao Su, look what good news I've brought you."

Before he arrived, laughter preceded his arrival. Qiao Qiliang walked over with a bright smile and light steps.

"What good news?" Su Chen raised an eyebrow and asked.

"It's news about the Hong family."

Qiao Qiliang chuckled and didn't keep them in suspense. "Hong Jinfeng, Hong Jingrui, and Hong Jinchen have all been killed. Now the Hong family is in complete chaos. When various forces learned that the Hong family was leaderless, they began to suppress it relentlessly. The Hong family had no choice but to shrink its power to Qinghe Town. Now there is no place for the Hong family in Dafeng City."

Upon hearing this, Su Chen smiled, surprised that the news had taken two days to spread.

“This is an opportunity,” he said, looking at Qiao Qiliang.

"What opportunity? You're not planning to take advantage of the situation, are you?" Qiao Qiliang was taken aback by his words.

Su Chen shook his head: "Taking advantage of someone's misfortune is meaningless; it's more interesting to wipe them out completely."

Qiao Qiliang: "..."

He was startled and looked at Su Chen in disbelief: "What are you thinking? Even if the Hong family has fallen on hard times, it is not something that you and I can deal with now. As long as the three elders of the Hong family are still alive, the Hong family will not perish."

"The three elders?" Su Chen was taken aback and exclaimed in surprise.

Qiao Qiliang nodded and said, "That's right. The reason why the Hong family can act so arrogantly in Qinzhou is entirely due to the three elders in the prefectural city. Otherwise, how could the Hong family be worthy of being called the number one family in Qinzhou? Not only the Hong family, but almost all the families in the five prefectures of Donglin Prefecture have their true core power in the prefectural city."

Su Chen remained silent for a long time, his expression complicated. He had thought he would be able to take action against the Hong family next, but now it seemed that his actions were just an appetizer.

This is a bit tricky...
