Chapter 63: Annihilation of the Entire Family!

"granduncle!"

A shrill scream echoed in front of the Gao family's main hall. When the Gao family members watched helplessly as the highly respected elder was cleaved in two in mid-air, his blood splattering like rain, everyone's eyes turned red.

The fourth great-uncle of the Gao family, the pillar who has led the family for decades, is still unmatched in prestige within the clan, despite his advanced age and declining strength.

Even the current head of the family, Gao Yuanfeng, often needs to consult this old man on major decisions. Over the years, it is precisely because of his steady approach and accurate judgment that the Gao family has been able to stand firm in Changshan County.

But now, this respected elder has been so cruelly murdered right before their eyes.

"Fight him!"

Several elders of the Gao family completely lost their minds and, disregarding the arrows raining down on them, charged towards Chen Sheng like madmen.

However, while martial artists at the Marrow Transformation Realm might be able to barely withstand a rain of arrows, those of slightly lower cultivation levels simply did not possess such an ability.

"Whoosh whoosh—"

The arrow pierced the air and arrived in an instant.

The three elders at the forefront were instantly riddled with arrows. They staggered forward a few more steps before finally collapsing unwillingly into a pool of blood. One of the elders, even as he breathed his last, stared intently in Chen Sheng's direction, his eyes filled with resentment.

Gao Yuanhe stared at Gao Qicheng's corpse on the ground, then glanced at his great-uncle's mangled body, his eyes blazing with murderous intent. He suddenly pulled a crimson pill from his pocket and swallowed it without hesitation.

With a "crack," the pill shattered in my mouth, and a surge of scorching heat instantly coursed through my entire body.

This is the "Blood Burning Pill," which can stimulate a martial artist's potential in a short period of time, causing the user's strength to surge. However, the price is equally heavy—after the effects wear off, at best, one's cultivation will be greatly damaged, and at worst, one's meridians will be completely severed, leading to death.

"boom!"

Gao Yuanhe's blood and qi surged, his internal energy surged like a tide, the veins on his face bulged, his eyes were bloodshot, and he seemed to have transformed into a ferocious beast that would devour anyone who came to eat him.

Even more shockingly, he grabbed Gao Qicheng's corpse and used it as a shield to hurl at Chen Sheng.

"Chen Sheng, you treacherous dog, pay for your uncle's life!"

Gao Yuanhe leaped into the air, his long sword slicing through the air with a blinding flash of cold light. With the enhancement of the Blood Burning Pill, the power of his strike was even three points stronger than that of his uncle from the Gao family before!

Upon seeing this, Li Huaisheng, who had been standing quietly to the side, was about to intervene, but Chen Sheng was faster than him.

"Tear--"

With a flash of light, Gao Qicheng's body was cleaved in two in mid-air, blood raining down. Amidst the blood rain, Gao Yuanhe's blade arrived, aimed straight for Chen Sheng's face.

With this strike, Gao Yuanhe completely abandoned defense and adopted a life-for-life fighting style.

However, when he wanted to exchange his life for his, Chen Sheng refused to oblige, because Gao Yuanhe simply did not deserve it.

"boom!"

The two longswords collided with a deafening roar, and the violent force swept outwards, causing the bluestone slabs on the ground to crack inch by inch.

Gao Yuanhe's robes were torn to shreds by the force of the attack, but he was completely unaware of it. Instead, he frantically channeled his inner energy and blood, unleashing one powerful strike after another, his swordplay growing fiercer and his sword light more intense!
To his disbelief, even after consuming the Blood Burning Pill and sacrificing his life for power, he still couldn't suppress Chen Sheng.

Chen Sheng's swordsmanship appears simple and unadorned, with each move being the most basic sword technique, yet he always manages to perfectly neutralize his attacks. The sword light flows smoothly, like flowing clouds and water, leaving no flaws to be found.

Worse still, Gao Yuanhe was already feeling a series of sharp pains within his body—a sign that the Blood Burning Pill was about to cause a backlash.

He knew that if he couldn't finish the battle quickly, he would face a fate worse than death, and the Gao family would be completely destroyed.

Thinking of this, a resolute glint flashed in Gao Yuanhe's eyes. After deflecting Chen Sheng's blade once again, he suddenly abandoned his sword, concentrated all his strength into a single punch, and struck Chen Sheng's chest.

If this punch lands, Chen Sheng will be seriously injured even if he doesn't die!

As for the price, he would likely be killed by Chen Sheng with a single blow. But this was his last chance—to exchange his life for injury, perhaps he could still buy a glimmer of hope for the Gao family.

He had originally expected Chen Sheng to retreat and dodge, and had even planned out his follow-up attack moves.

However, Chen Sheng's reaction once again surprised him!
Faced with this earth-shattering punch, Chen Sheng not only did not retreat, but instead took a step forward, gathering strength in his left fist, preparing to take the blow head-on.

Gao Yuanhe was overjoyed. Unless a martial artist makes good use of his left arm, his right arm is usually stronger than his left arm.

According to his observation, Chen Sheng was not adept at using his left arm. This was tantamount to courting death!

With this thought in mind, Gao Yuanhe's confidence soared, as if he could already see Chen Sheng's left arm broken, coughing up blood and flying backward.

Chen Sheng narrowed his eyes, his internal energy circulated wildly, and his blood and qi surged like a tide.

The official robe on his left arm fluttered in the overflowing energy, and even more surprisingly, his left palm shone with a pale golden luster, as if it were coated with a layer of gold lacquer.

"boom!!!"

The moment their fists collided, a deafening roar erupted, and a violent force swept outwards from the two of them, shattering all the surrounding bluestone slabs and filling the air with dust.

However, the expected scene did not occur.

On the contrary, Gao Yuanhe felt a terrifying force as his fists collided.

"Crack!"

A crisp cracking sound rang out, and Gao Yuanhe's right arm instantly twisted and deformed, the white bone fragments piercing through the flesh, drawing blood.

He was sent flying backward in shock and disbelief.

How can this be?

At this moment, only this question remained in Gao Yuanhe's mind.

How could Chen Sheng's strength be so terrifying? He had only recently broken through to the Marrow Transformation Realm, and he had even taken Chen Sheng's full-force attack with his relatively weaker left arm. Why was he the one who lost?

No one answered his question, and Chen Sheng didn't give him time to think.

Before he even landed, Chen Sheng had already caught up like a shadow, leaping up and stomping heavily on his chest with his right foot.

"puff--"

The terrifying force penetrated his body, and Gao Yuanhe's chest collapsed instantly. His internal organs were turned into minced meat by this kick. He opened his mouth to say something, but only blood kept gushing out.

In the moments before his life completely vanished, he vaguely heard Chen Sheng's cold whisper:

"Vulnerable."

……

Chen Sheng glanced at the corpse on the ground, then indifferently looked away.

He always knew that he was strong, but because he was used to winning by anticipation, he rarely faced off against martial artists of the same level. He would either use tricks to weaken his opponents or choose to launch sneak attacks, and he never truly tested the upper limit of his strength.

Today's battle, where he killed a martial artist of the same level with a single punch, proves that his strength is among the top even in the Marrow Transformation Realm.

Of course, this thought only flashed through his mind. If given a choice, he would still prefer to solve the problem in the safest way possible—why fight a fight when you can outsmart the enemy?

With the fall of Gao family's grand-uncle and Gao Yuanhe, both experts at the Marrow Transformation Realm, the Gao family's last resistance collapsed.

Chen Sheng looked around at the trembling Gao family members and servants, his eyes filled with no pity.

"Issue the order: Slaughter the entire Gao family, regardless of age, gender, or age!"

His voice was as cold as iron, echoing through the blood-soaked courtyard.

"Yes!"

The officers and soldiers responded in unison, and the sounds of swords being drawn echoed throughout the room.

A bloody massacre has officially begun.

Chen Sheng turned around, his back to the screams and pleas for mercy behind him, and slowly walked out. The sunlight shone on his blood-stained official robe, reflecting a dazzling crimson.

After this day, the Gao family will cease to exist in Changshan County.
