Chapter 168: 118, Show No Mercy
Chen Yuhe immediately walked forward, unable to restrain his eagerness, and approached the Hou Family Warrior controlled by Tong Hu, hissing in a low voice.
"Speak quickly, where is the Hou Clan's mansion treasury, where is your family head in seclusion, and where are the other members of the Hou Clan?"
Seeing so many people on the rooftop, the Hou Family Warrior was obviously frightened. He kept his head down and his body trembled slightly, unable to speak for a long while.
Chen Yuhe thought the man was scared silly, and perhaps because his own voice was soft, the warrior hadn't heard him clearly, so he took a few more steps forward, ready to ask a second time.
But it was these few steps that dramatically changed his expression...
In their eyes, the Hou Family Warrior, merely at the five levels of body refinement, suddenly erupted with a burst of powerful True Qi, instantly blowing away a large section of the rooftop tiles.
In an instant, dust and smoke filled the air
Amidst a thunderous roar, a blood-red sword light nearly a hundred meters long suddenly sprinted through, like a rainbow piercing the sun. The dark night sky brightened with a flash of red light, casting an eerie blood-red hue over the City Lord's Mansion.
True Qi Manifesting Technique, Grandmaster. This person was not just some patrolling warrior; he was clearly a powerful secret weapon hidden by the Hou Mansion!
How was it possible for the Hou Mansion to have a Grandmaster?
Liu Fufeng, Tong Hu, and the four Dan Embracing Phase warriors all had two thoughts of fear flash through their minds, and they no longer restrained their auras. Their auras erupted suddenly, and they all sped off in all directions to find cover.
Chii-La...
The sound of the sword light slicing through flesh was heard, and Tong Hu grunted, his face turning pale as he looked at the four-inch wound on his right shoulder, his brows furrowing deeply. Instead of anger, he felt a sense of relief at having survived a catastrophe.
Among the six, he had been closest to the man who erupted suddenly, so it was normal for him to be hit.
He was relieved because, fortunately, the blood-red sword light was not aimed at him; otherwise, it would not have been just a minor injury on the shoulder.
"Not good, Chen Yuhe!"
It wasn't just Tong Hu; Liu Fufeng and the other four also had this thought flash through their minds. They turned their heads to look at Chen Yuhe, suddenly struck with horror.
The shock brought by the sword light to everyone was incomparable to what Chen Yuhe was currently facing. He had no idea how a warrior with merely five levels of body refinement could suddenly become a high-level Grandmaster and display such a terrifying sword technique.
Chen Yuhe was clearly caught off guard, his eyes full of panic. He hadn't even managed to draw the Jiang Yu Sword at his waist; overwhelmed by fear, he only managed to form a blue True Qi barrier around his body, relying solely on his Grandmaster's physical resistance to block the blood-red sword light.
"Spare me..."
Clearly, Chen Yuhe knew that his physical body alone couldn't withstand the sword light. Unfortunately, his four-word plea for life was cut short as the sword light, like a rainbow piercing the sun, passed through the left side of his chest and penetrated his body.
Pu-chi...
A gush of blood sprayed out, and like a kite with its string cut, Chen Yuhe's body was carried backward for hundreds of meters by the force of the blood-red sword light. The True Qi dispersing from his body trailed a streak of blue light, finally crashing down like a cannonball into the courtyard behind the City Lord's Mansion.
Jiang Yu Sword Chen Yuhe, a long-renowned Grandmaster from Wanyang County.
Just in an instant, his life or death became unknown!
Liu Fufeng and the other five, upon witnessing this scene, felt a chill rise abruptly over their heads, their minds short-circuiting for a moment.
"You idiots, just passing peacefully would have avoided all troubles, but you had to seek punishment instead of enjoying the drink offered. Now, go die!"
Hearing this voice, Tong Hu's body stiffened instantly, and he then looked up toward the figure slowly emerging from the dust and smoke, his pupils widening yet again in shock.
"How could this be... It's only been a year?"
Tong Hu was almost screaming inside. He could never have imagined that the Grandmaster who intervened would be Hou Yuxiao, who had cravenly kneeled to him a year ago in Tianling County.
The Zhaoyang Disturbance and Hou Yuxiao's shamelessness were deeply ingrained in his memory. Following that, the news from Tongling County also made him realize that this young demon path family head was no simple character, which is why he deliberately led his passage through Zhaoyang this time, aiming to eliminate this threat once and for all.
"How could this be... How could this be..."
The news that the Hou Clan had a hidden Grandmaster had already shaken him deeply, but when he realized this Grandmaster was Hou Yuxiao himself, he was so frightened he couldn't even speak, the intense shock continuously screaming inside him.
His mental shock ceased as soon as he met Hou Yuxiao's piercing gaze!
Hou Yuxiao clearly knew what he was shocked about. The intense murderous intent in his sharp eyes gradually ascended, and Tong Hu, understanding the meaning in his eyes, realized that he knew something he shouldn't have known, causing his legs to suddenly weaken.
In just one year, from the Ten Layers of Body Openings to the Grandmaster Realm.
If this were to spread, it would surely shock the entire world, and then Hou Yuxiao, including the entire Hou Clan, would immediately become the target of public criticism!
"Quick, split up and run!"
Realizing this, Tong Hu was utterly terrified, unable to suppress the fear within him, and he screamed, taking the lead in fleeing back the way they had come.
Startled by him, the others also prepared to scatter and escape, but upon seeing the direction Tong Hu was escaping toward, they frowned slightly, cursing under their breath at his shameful act, and then changed course to head in his direction.
A Grandmaster who had just killed Chen Yuhe might not even be escapable by Liu Fufeng, another Grandmaster, let alone the four Dan Embracing Phase masters who would be facing certain death if they actually split up and fled.
