Chapter 104: Today I will make you all die.
The surging black energy shot straight into the sky.
Under a clear blue sky, the autumn air was crisp and refreshing. But now, clusters of dark clouds had gathered, appearing unusually conspicuous!
"Go and take a look!"
Nowhere is there a shortage of onlookers, and many martial artists flocked towards the Li residence.
But as soon as they reached the street corner, they were startled by the oppressive and powerful force and stopped in their tracks.
Zhang Ping glanced at the gate with the plaque that read "Li Mansion" and pressed it.
Boom! The violent force blasted the entire gate and the courtyard walls on both sides to smithereens. He turned to Lu Yu and asked, "Where are Sister Rou and the others?"
Lu Yu's Adam's apple bobbed as he suppressed his shock: "Madam and the others were taken to the Nangong family by Miss Xiao. They shouldn't have left yet."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a gust of wind swept up from the ground, raising dust so high it made it impossible for people to open their eyes.
When Lu Yu opened his eyes again, he saw that Zhang Ping had already flown away into the sky!
"This..." Lu Yu's mouth gaped open as he stared blankly at the departing figure.
After a brief silence, the martial artists who had come to watch the spectacle suddenly erupted into a frenzy!
"Flying through the air! It's flying through the air!"
"That person...that person is actually a Marrow Transformation Realm expert, just like Lord Lieyun Mountain!"
"Looks like he's only in his early twenties? That's terrifying!"
......
Zhang Ping made no attempt to conceal his aura as he flew through the air, his imposing presence sweeping across Lanjiang City.
The figure swept across the sky above the Demon Extermination Bureau.
Inside the main hall of the Demon Extermination Bureau, the hundreds of people who were gathered for discussion were instantly swept over by this powerful aura, and they all stood up in shock.
"Don't panic! It's a martial artist!" Lie Yunshan, sitting at the head of the table, frowned and was the first to leap out of the hall. The others followed closely behind.
Looking up, I saw a figure flying low overhead.
"Who is that? Besides Lord Lie, has the imperial court sent other experts at the Marrow Transformation Realm?" Leng Feng, the head of the Leng family, was filled with doubt and surprise. That figure was definitely not Senior Wen Gaoyang from the front line. Moreover, if Wen Gaoyang were to return, he would definitely come to the Demon Extermination Division first.
"Looks... kind of familiar?" On the other side, Nangong Feiyan frowned slightly. Dressed in plain clothes, her demeanor remained capable and dignified, but she looked noticeably more tired than she had been six months ago.
"Lord Lie, should we send someone to investigate?"
A stranger at the Marrow Transformation Realm is flying around the city so recklessly. Whatever his purpose, we cannot stand idly by.
The speaker was a newly transferred demon-slaying warrior, at the Blood Essence Realm. He looked towards Lieyun Mountain, but noticed that the official's expression was solemn, and his gaze shifted to the other side.
Following his gaze, everyone was shocked to see a black pillar of blood energy shooting into the sky from the direction of the Li residence, which had not yet dissipated!
"What is this...?!" Most people, unaware of the attributes and blood essence, turned pale upon seeing this strange phenomenon.
Although Lie Yunshan's expression did not change, his eyes were full of doubt.
"Come with me and take a look!"
Before he finished speaking, his blood and energy suddenly erupted, and with a whoosh, he chased after the direction where the figure had disappeared!
No one dared to be negligent, and they all unleashed their qi and blood, following closely behind.
The Nangong family.
Fu Huiying's face was ashen, and her hand gripping the sword tip trembled slightly due to the loss of control over her blood and qi, her fingers clenched tightly.
She glared at the two greedy men before her, gritting her teeth, and said, "This weapon was left to us by Zhang Ping! If he returns, he will make you pay a hundredfold!"
Knowing that the other party coveted the items they brought from the martial arts school and the Lu family, she had kept this item in her possession. She never expected Nangong Fugui to be so brazen, disregarding even Xiao Ling'er's feelings and directly snatching it away.
"Heh!" Nangong Fugui smugly stroked the newly acquired "Reincarnation Divine Skill" booklet, completely unconcerned.
"Zhang Ping? He's rotten to the bone! Even if he crawls back alive, what good will it do? My Nangong family kindly took in his woman; that's an immense favor! He'll have to be my Nangong family's slave for the rest of his life to repay that debt!"
In his eyes, no matter how talented Zhang Ping was, he was still just a minor martial artist in the Body Refining Realm. He couldn't even make a ripple in front of the behemoth that was the Nangong family.
Even if you come back alive, you'll still have to behave like a dog!
"Young Master is right." Xie Feng bowed and nodded, turning to Fu Huiying and the other person:
"Ladies, it would be wise of you to hand over your weapons. Fighting will only damage the harmony and make Miss Xiao lose face."
That face disgusted Lu Wanrou, who cursed, "lackey!"
Xie Feng's face flushed red, and he laughed in exasperation. For the past two weeks, he had repeatedly pledged his loyalty and willingness to be her protector, only to be ignored. Now they were calling him a lackey?
Alright! I, Xie Feng, will be your lackey!
Seeing that the two refused to give in, the surrounding onlookers from the collateral branches all spoke up, their words full of advice but also revealing their desire to curry favor with Nangong Fugui.
Nangong Fugui slightly raised his head. He rarely came to this secluded corner before; he hadn't expected this member of the collateral branch to be so adept at handling things. He clicked his tongue twice, raised his hand, and his lips moved:
"move……"
Before he could even utter the word "hand," Nangong Fugui suddenly froze.
He subconsciously looked up and realized that the azure sky had been obscured by thick dark clouds.
Plop. A drop of cold rain fell on his slightly balding forehead.
The weather changed so quickly. Everyone around looked up at the sky.
Boom!
A thunderclap boomed in the clouds, and a figure appeared amidst the lightning and thunder!
"Tell me, who should be treated like a slave?"
……
"That's... the direction of the Nangong family?" The heads of the various families who followed saw the dark clouds that suddenly gathered above the Nangong family from afar, and their expressions varied.
The Leng family and the Nangong family have always been at odds, and their conflict runs deep. Leng Feng glanced at Nangong Feiyan with a gloating expression.
The latter completely ignored him, but its speed of flight clearly increased.
……
"You want to steal their things? And you want me to be your slave?"
The sound that followed the thunder made everyone's eyes widen.
In the center of the crowd, Fu Huiying and Lu Wanrou heard that incredibly familiar voice, and their beautiful eyes instantly turned to the sky. When they saw the figure standing in mid-air, tears welled up in their eyes.
"It's Zhang Ping...he's back." Fu Huiying smiled, her smile filled with relief. She loosened her grip, and the crimson broken sword tip she was holding fell to the ground with a "thud."
Amidst the thunder and rain, Zhang Ping looked down, and wisps of dark flames rose from his body.
A chilling killing intent!
"Who...who are you?" Nangong Fugui's face turned deathly pale. He couldn't believe it.
Although he had never met Zhang Ping, he could guess seven or eight parts of the truth from the reactions of Fu Huiying and the other person.
Even more deadly was that Zhang Ping was in the sky! Standing suspended in mid-air!
Before the outbreak of the demonic chaos, Nangong Fugui might not have understood what it meant, and might even have thought it was the work of demons or an illusion.
But ever since the Fifth Commander of the Great Wei Demon Extermination Division descended upon Lanjiang City from Lieyun Mountain, his figure flying through the air has shown all the warriors of Lanjiang what a true powerhouse is!
At that moment, regardless of the size of the family, all the heads of the families must personally greet them as a sign of respect!
Since then, the warriors of Lanjiang have all realized that the Bone Forging Realm warriors that the Nangong family relied on were nothing more than minor figures who added popularity to the other party!
Flying through the air is the mark of the sixth stage of body refinement—the marrow entry stage!
Nangong Fugui's mind was in complete chaos, his lips trembled, and he couldn't utter a single word.
He threw the copy of "The Reincarnation Divine Skill" on the ground as if it were a hot potato.
"M- ...
The surrounding Nangong collateral relatives were firmly suppressed by the terrifying blood energy pouring down from the sky, unable to move.
"You dared to bully my lady? Today you will all die!"
