Chapter 169 Killing Hong Demin, Departing After the Deed Is Done (Seeking votes for next month at the beginning of the month)

The blades flashed like dragons, their shadows overlapping, falling like a deluge from the sky.

Although it was an ordinary steel knife, it displayed extraordinary power when infused with force.

Before the steel blade even fell, the surrounding air was immediately compressed, creating gusts of air.

A wisp of blade light outlined a dazzling galaxy, rising from the sky and crashing down, exploding in Hong Dexin's eyes.

"Virtue and Integrity!"

A sharp, piercing scream rang out, and Hong Demin stared with bloodshot eyes at Hong Dexin, who had been cleaved in two, his face contorted with rage.

The other martial artists who had reached the Meridian Opening stage were stunned by what they saw and fell into a brief silence.

"Ah, you deserve to die!"

Hong Demin roared in fury, showing no further intention to fight the others. His eyes blazed with boundless rage, almost overflowing.

He leaped into the air, transforming into a ferocious beast, bursting forth with overwhelming killing intent.

The Yun clan experts were shocked to see this, staring at the scene before them in astonishment, their gazes seemingly fixed on Su Chen.

Su Chen paid no attention to it. The moment he finished off Hong Dexin, he drew his sword and left, disappearing into the chaotic crowd.

"You little brat, get back here right now."

Seeing Su Chen run away after killing people, Hong Demin became like a madman, his face hideous, roaring repeatedly.

However, he was too late. When Su Chen's figure disappeared from sight, Hong Demin went berserk.

"Die, die, die! All of you, die!"

He held nothing back, unleashing a furious barrage of attacks on those around him.

At this moment, he no longer distinguished between friend and foe, becoming like a killing machine, severing life and taking lives with every move he made.

"Elder, it's me, it's Hong Lang..."

While fighting the men in black, Hong Risheng suddenly felt a sharp pain in his body. He turned around and saw that Hong Demin had struck him with a palm.

The violent primordial energy of heaven and earth shattered his internal organs in an instant, causing his entire chest to explode.

His eyes were filled with resentment, and he coughed up a lot of blood with every word he spoke.

I never imagined that I would die not at the hands of the men in black, but at the hands of Hong Demin.

The blood splattered on Hong Demin's cheeks brought a sliver of clarity back to his eyes.

"This old guy's gone mad! Let's all attack and finish him off!"

The Yun clan experts standing nearby were all shocked by Hong Demin's brutal methods. In just a few breaths, Hong Demin had taken more than ten lives.

Without further hesitation, the group, their faces grave, launched a coordinated attack on Hong Demin.

Unexpectedly, Hong Demin had no intention of fighting the crowd. Instead, he threw himself into the melee and began to slaughter the men in black.

Seeing the black-clad men around them dying one by one at Hong Demin's hands, the five martial artists with open meridians all wore frosty expressions.

He acted ruthlessly, using all his strength to kill Hong Demin.

Bang bang bang!
The fierce clash of the six people shook the surrounding area.

A terrifying force far exceeding ordinary strength was unleashed, not only forcing everyone back but also destroying all living things within a five-meter radius.

The area where the fight took place was devoid of life and was a scene of utter devastation.

Even martial artists at the Blood Transformation Realm dared not approach easily and unconsciously kept their distance.

Hidden among the crowd, Su Chen did not immediately join the battle. Instead, he dodged and weaved, his eyes fixed on Hong Demin, who was being besieged.

Now that Hong Deqing and Hong Dexin are both dead, only Hong Demin remains of the three elders of the Hong family, so his next goal is to get rid of Hong Demin.

Hong Demin truly lived up to his reputation as the leader of the three elders of the Hong family. Even when facing the combined attack of five martial artists with the Qi Refining Realm, he did not fall behind in the slightest.

With such strength, even if Su Chen tried his best under normal circumstances, he might not be able to succeed, but at this moment, there is still a sliver of a chance.

So he's waiting, waiting for that sliver of opportunity.

While keeping a close eye on Hong Demin, Su Chen would occasionally glance around the room and quickly spotted the sneaky figure.

The speed of Baiyue Dao (the Moon Thief) is a huge advantage here, and when combined with his powerful strength, it makes him feel like a fish in water in battle.

They can even use their strength at the first level of Blood Refining to crush those at the second level, launch surprise attacks on those at the third level, and interfere with those at the fourth level.

Among the many men in black at the scene, the majority were murdered.

"Hahaha, the four great clans, I, Hong Demin, will remember the hatred of your annihilation of my Hong clan today. You just wait, as long as I live, I will sooner or later kill my way into your clan and avenge this blood feud."

Hong Demin was covered in blood, his eyebrows were furrowed and his eyes were bloodshot. His silver hair was draped over his shoulders. He gritted his teeth and said.

A pair of extremely cold eyes swept across the area, taking in all five martial artists who had reached the Qi Refining stage. The murderous intent emanating from him was undisguised, and one could feel his anger even from several meters away.

His gaze finally settled on the powerful member of the Yun clan. His mouth opened, and a chilling voice echoed from Hong Demin's lips: "From this day forward, I will make sure none of you can sleep or eat in peace!!!"

The five men stood there, staring intently. For some reason, upon hearing Hong Demin's murderous words, they all felt a chill run down their spines and were filled with dread.

A chill ran straight to the head, making one's scalp tingle.

"kill!"

The Yun clan expert frowned, uttered a single word, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes, revealing his complete intent to kill.

The others felt the same way; the two sides were now locked in a life-or-death struggle, and neither side could let Hong Demin go tonight, whether for their own sake or for their families.

Otherwise, he will surely suffer Hong Demin's hysterical retaliation in the future.

The revenge of a martial artist who has opened his meridians?

Just thinking about it makes my heart tremble.

Aside from martial artists of the same level, who else could possibly be a match for a martial artist who has opened the meridians? To encounter one would mean certain death!

The five men swarmed forward again, unleashing a barrage of deadly moves, completely surrounding Hong Demin and leaving him no way to escape.

Faced with the overwhelming attack of the five men, Hong Demin became increasingly frenzied, fighting with a reckless abandon.

"Oh no, he's going to take us all down with him!"

One of the martial artists who had reached the Meridian Realm changed his expression drastically when he saw that Hong Demin would rather be injured than let him go.

In the ensuing bloody battle, he was no match for Hong Demin and was forced to retreat repeatedly, completely helpless.

In this life-or-death struggle, Hong Demin finally managed to tear a gap in the seemingly unbreakable blockade of the five.

"Stop him!"

Upon seeing this, the Yun clan expert's expression changed drastically, and he shouted.

"Hahaha, too late. Get your coffins ready. When the time comes, I'll make you taste the pain of losing your loved ones, friends, and family."

Hong Demin laughed wildly three times. His unusually ferocious face and sinister laughter sent chills down the spines of the five men.

The five of them unleashed their fastest speeds ever, but they still couldn't stop Hong Demin.

As Hong Demin was about to escape, the five people were both shocked and anxious, and a sense of fear began to grow and spread among them.

If Hong Demin gets away, no one will ever have a peaceful life again.

Just as everyone was extremely anxious, a figure suddenly appeared in their sight, darted out from the side, and slashed at Hong Demin with a knife.

Looking at the anxious expressions of the people behind him, Hong Demin sneered repeatedly, his mind and body involuntarily relaxing a little.

But in the next instant, Hong Demin caught a glimpse of a burly figure approaching, wielding a steel knife and slashing at him.

"Hmph, looking for death!"

He was stunned for a moment, then sneered. There are all kinds of people these days. A Blood-Moving Martial Artist actually swung his knife at a Meridian Opening Martial Artist.

It’s really asking for death!

Despite his severe internal injuries, Hong Demin still didn't take his opponent seriously.

Suddenly, he raised his hand, and a layer of azure light appeared on his hand, enveloping his arm.

boom!
The steel knife fell, but Hong Demin neither dodged nor flinched. He raised his arm, his palm slightly clenched.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he forcefully stopped the steel knife at a distance of half a meter, making it difficult for it to advance any further.

The crowd was initially delighted to see someone intervene, but upon discovering it was a Bloodthirsty Warrior, they were somewhat disappointed.

When he saw that Su Chen's attack was blocked by Hong Demin with one hand, he knew that Hong Demin's momentum was gone.

Even so, the group was still somewhat unwilling to give up and did their best to catch up.

Suddenly, everyone's steps came to a halt, and they stared in horror at what lay ahead.

Click.

The moment Hong Demin caught the steel knife, a crisp cracking sound rang out, and fine cracks appeared on the blade, spreading rapidly.

Hong Demin sneered, preparing to take action to eliminate Su Chen.

Suddenly, the smile on his face vanished, and a sense of unease welled up in his heart.

In a flash, Hong Demin caught a glimpse of Su Chen raising his other arm, and then a strange whooshing sound suddenly rang out.

His eyelids twitched instantly, and then he felt a surge of energy locking onto his body.

In the next instant, a cold glint appeared out of nowhere, rapidly climbing from the depths of his eyes and instantly filling his pupils, whistling with chilling killing intent.

"what?!"

Hong Demin was terrified, his hair standing on end. He was completely unprepared for Su Chen's sudden attack. *Sizzle!*

After waiting for dozens of days and nights, Su Chen unleashed a brutal attack, a strike that had accumulated all of his strength, and it landed squarely on Hong Demin's body.

With a single strike, a gust of wind arose, causing the two men's skin to ripple, their hair to become disheveled, and their clothes to flutter wildly.

At that moment, time seemed to stand still, with only a sliver of black cloth fluttering in the wind.

Puff puff.

It wasn't until the blood gushed out that everyone snapped out of their daze, but their hearts remained unsettled for a long time.

"Damn!"

A discordant voice suddenly rang out, but no one paid any attention to it at the moment.

Not far away, when Baiyue Dao saw Su Chen's true face under the black cloth, he suddenly exclaimed in surprise and his expression changed drastically.

Damn it, he said that Su Chen looked a bit strange before. It turns out that this guy disguised himself as him and took advantage of the situation.

Now he actually killed Hong Demin in his own appearance, and what's worse, others saw it. It's simply unforgivable!
"It was intentional, this guy definitely did it on purpose!"

Bai Yuedao gritted his teeth, his anger rising, cursing Su Chen countless times in his heart.

Still not satisfied, he burst out cursing, "You're a complete scoundrel!"

Everyone looked in surprise and saw Baiyue Thief Dog's desperate act, and they were immediately stunned.

It wasn't your father who was killed, why are you jumping up and down?
Could he be an inside agent who has infiltrated our ranks?
The idea was cut off as soon as it popped into my head.

The crowd saw the Moon Worshiping Thief rushing away, tearing off the black cloth covering his face as he ran, revealing his true appearance with a smug look.

Su Chen, panting heavily, stared at the half-dead Hong Demin when he suddenly heard a familiar voice.

Upon closer inspection, his pupils constricted as he saw Baiyue Dao, bearing his own appearance, striding towards him.

Before long, Baiyue Dao arrived in front of Su Chen, ignoring Su Chen's astonished expression, and turned his gaze to Hong Demin.

Under the questioning gazes of the crowd, Baiyue Dao raised his steel knife and slashed off Hong Demin's head with a single stroke.

Click!

The body was severed from its head; Hong Demin's life force was completely gone, his body collapsed, and his head fell to the ground.

"Humph!"

After finishing off the enemy, Baiyue Dao let out a soft snort, a hint of smugness on his face, as if he were enjoying the thrill of revenge.

Su Chen was slightly dumbfounded, not expecting that this guy had the same idea as him.

He disguised himself as Baiyue Dao, and Baiyue Dao disguised himself as him. Both of them were trying to better hide themselves, but now it seems that they had made things worse.

Fortunately, he didn't use his real face when he was with the Moon Worshipper.

"Why are you still standing there, run away!"

With Hong Demin dead, their business was over.

Even if they don't kill these small fry, those who are hostile to the Hong family won't let them go.

He and Su Chen killed Hong Demin. If they didn't run away, they would be surrounded by five martial artists who had reached the Qi Refining stage. By then, it would be too late to escape.

After saying that, Baiyue Dao ran into the forest in a flash, and Su Chen followed closely behind without hesitation.

The two quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Whose men are they?"

The Yun clan expert was still somewhat incredulous that Hong Demin had died so tragically at the hands of two Blood-Transferring Warriors. He looked around and then at the other four people, his eyes filled with questions.

The other four shook their heads; none of the martial artists they brought this time were as powerful as this.

To use the Blood Transformation Realm to defeat the Meridian Opening Realm cultivator is a skill in itself, even though Hong Demin was seriously injured beforehand.

People with this ability are no ordinary people, and even if they knew it, they wouldn't reveal it casually.

Seeing that he couldn't get any information out of them, the Yun clan expert shook his head and didn't pay any attention.

Many forces attacked the Hong family tonight, including not only the four major clans and the prefect, but also many others.

Everyone was dressed in black, so it was normal that no one knew anyone else and couldn't guess the identities of Su Chen and Bai Yuedao.

The five men quickly turned their attention to the other members of the Hong family, showing no mercy whatsoever.

With Hong Demin dead, there was no need for the Hong family to remain.

Not far away, Su Chen hid in the shadows, observing silently.

The Moon Worshiping Thief was also hiding nearby, but he didn't look at the battlefield; instead, he stared intently at Su Chen.

That gaze seemed to see right through Su Chen, carrying a complex mix of emotions.

"Have you seen enough?" Su Chen said without turning his head. The battle was nearing its end, and it was about time to leave.

Having avenged his great grudge, the faint pressure that had been lingering in his heart vanished, and a hint of joy, which even he himself could not detect, emerged in his voice.

"no!"

Bai Yuedao coldly replied, "How could I possibly get enough of that handsome face?"

I can never get enough of looking at my own face!
Sensing the sharp gaze of Baiyue Dao, Su Chen turned his head to look at him, his expression shifting slightly, a strange feeling welling up in his heart.

Looking at her own appearance, she realized it was truly the first time she had ever seen a young woman getting married.

"Shouldn't you give me an explanation?" Bai Yuedao said in a muffled voice.

"What's there to explain? You've disguised yourself as me too."

"I was prescient... Don't change the subject. Shouldn't you explain why you exposed me?"

"I said I didn't mean it, do you believe me?"

Su Chen did not do it on purpose. At the time, he was nervous and worried, concerned that he would not be able to kill Hong Demin, so he did not care about the mask.

The reason they were exposed was because the commotion from their fight was so great that they were thrown into the air.

"Then let me ask you, why did you tear off the black cloth when you were wearing my face?"

Before Baiyue Dao could speak, Su Chen preemptively struck, and upon hearing this, Baiyue Dao's eyes suddenly became unfocused.

He stammered, "I... I didn't mean to. It was the wind... the wind accidentally blew my black cloth away."

Seeing Su Chen's disbelief, he waved his hand awkwardly and said, "Alright, alright, let's call it even."

Su Chen shrugged and got up to leave.

"Why are you going?"

Baiyue Dao stopped Su Chen and asked.

Su Chen glanced back and said, "The Hong family is finished. What are you still doing here?"

Upon hearing this, Baiyue Dao turned around and saw that the battle was over and all the Hong family members had been killed.

The entire square was littered with corpses, piled up like mountains, with rivers of blood flowing through it, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of blood.

Flames were flying everywhere, and the men in black had already begun to destroy the evidence.

"Wait for me."

Baiyue Dao withdrew his gaze and, seeing that Su Chen was no longer around, shouted.

On the road leading to Fengbei City.

Su Chen stopped in his tracks, turned around to look at the Moon Worshiping Thief who had followed him, and said in a deep voice, "Why are you following me?"

"I have nowhere to go. Why don't you find me a place? If all else fails, I'll go home with you," Baiyue Dao said with a shameless grin.

"Are you leaving or not?" Su Chen ignored him, his voice turning cold.

Bai Yue Dao clicked his tongue and snorted, "Fine, I'll go then."

Then, his figure flickered and vanished without a trace.

After walking for a while, Su Chen stopped and looked back in one of the directions behind him, coldly saying, "If you follow me again, don't blame me for being impolite."

After eavesdropping from the bushes, Baiyue didn't care at all: "Even if you tell me not to follow, I'll still follow anyway."

He wanted to see just who Su Chen was.

He hadn't gone far when Baiyue Dao noticed that Su Chen had stopped. He immediately sensed something was wrong and turned away.

Looking back, he indeed saw Su Chen following closely behind.

Su Chen pretended to chase for a while before stopping and speeding up to continue forward.

This time, however, he did not go to Fengbei City, but changed his direction.

To his dismay, the Moon Worshiping Thief seemed determined to follow him, and soon reappeared behind him, closely following him.

So he chased, Bai Yue stole away, chased again, ran away again, chased again, ran away again... After several rounds of this, Su Chen stopped.

He said loudly, "If you want me to take you home, you can."

"What are the conditions?" Baiyue Dao asked excitedly as he emerged from the bushes.

"Exchange your movement technique manual with me, and then you can stay as long as you want."

"Farewell!"
