241: After today, there will be no Hong Family in Tianbei City!

As soon as the Han Family took their seats, someone from the Hong Family stood up and shouted towards them.

“Haha, Han Family Head, you’ve finally arrived. I thought you would forfeit today.”

A middle-aged man, similar in age to Han Chi, smiled faintly, his facial muscles showing no change.

“The Hong Family Head thinks too much. Since you wish for a ten-year peace period with the Han Family, I naturally must accept it. Otherwise, wouldn’t I be rejecting the Hong Family’s good intentions?”

Han Chi raised his eyelids slightly and said indifferently.

“Why speak as two families when we are one? Once your two daughters marry into the Hong Family, you and I will be in-laws.”

Hong Li sneered.

“My two daughters are as beautiful as flowers, as beautiful as Heavenly Immortals. I’m just afraid your son won’t have that fortune in this life.”

Knowing that they would soon fall out, Han Chi didn't humor the other party in the slightest, his tone laced with barbs.

Hong Li’s expression immediately darkened.

“Enough, no one from the Han Family dares to come on stage, so don’t just show off your verbal skills here…”

Hong Chen frowned, rising from his chair, “You just randomly picked an unknown person and think he can defeat me?”

As he spoke, a faint rumble of thunder sounded, and his figure blurred, appearing on the Tianshi Platform like a ghost.

“Han Chi, have you prepared the dowry? After the arena battle, my Hong Family will be coming to propose marriage.”

Hong Li glanced at Han Chi and sat back in his chair.

Even the Demon Serpent Xia Mang couldn't withstand a single punch from Lin Xiu. Hong Chen is also a Battle Emperor, so how much better could he be?

Han Chi ignored the provocation and also sat down, tapping the armrest with his index finger, looking at the Tianshi Platform.

Seeing this, Hong Li suddenly felt a little flustered. Something was wrong; this old fellow seemed to be completely fearless.

He turned to the gray-robed Elder, “Elder Shen, please take a look at that young man.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Yun’s brows furrowed with a hint of impatience, and his gaze swept towards Lin Xiu on the Tianshi Platform.

“Oh…”

At first glance, Shen Yun straightened his body slightly. Strange, he couldn't see through his strength.

“Elder Shen?”

Seeing his actions, Hong Li's heart became even more agitated.

“No matter, he’s just a young man.”

Shen Yun's tone was calm, his face showing no emotion.

That young man looks even younger than Miss Feng of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion. Given Miss Feng’s background, his strength shouldn’t be too high.

Perhaps he had Cultivated some Fighting Skill that concealed his strength, which was why he couldn’t see through him.

Muttering to himself, Shen Yun slowly closed his eyes again.

“This should be stable now.”

Hong Li had great trust in Elder Yun. Seeing that he didn't take it seriously, he didn't press further.

On the stage.

Hong Chen glanced at Lin Xiu, “The Han Family sending you as a scapegoat, isn’t that a bit too perfunctory?”

“It hasn’t even started, and you already think you’ve won?”

Lin Xiu was a bit helpless. This was Central Continent, and this guy was still so confident.

“Hmph, someone from the Northwest Region, even if I told you, you wouldn’t understand. I can take you down within ten breaths!”

Hong Chen seemed to feel looked down upon, and his tone became cold.

Battle Qi surged out, and a Battle Emperor’s power spread in all directions.

A powerful pressure bore down on the surroundings. The onlookers nearby, pressed by this force, breathed shallowly, seemingly affected.

Exclamations of surprise rang out continuously.

Listening to the commotion, Hong Chen’s face showed a hint of arrogance. He raised his chin and pointed at Lin Xiu.

“It’s started, has it?”

Lin Xiu asked with a smile, showing no signs of being affected.

“Yes, use whatever moves you have. If you’re late, you won’t have a chance.”

Hong Chen waved his hand.

“You stole my line.”

Lin Xiu shook his head lightly, opened his right hand, and then a hammer fell into his palm.

Since he was going to kill a Battle Sect, using only his fists would still be a bit weak in terms of lethality; he needed to use a weapon.

“Don’t be so arrogant in your next life.”

He looked at Hong Chen, enunciating each word, his own Aura gradually releasing.

Immediately, the clouds in the sky seemed to be affected by some force, freezing in place, and even the wind stopped.

An Aura even more profound and terrifying than Hong Chen’s spread out from the Tianshi Platform.

Like a flood breaking through a dam, it roared and surged in all directions.

Around the Tianshi Platform, everyone seemed to have their throats choked, unable to make a sound. Each person looked terrified, their faces pale as they stared at the figure holding the hammer on the stage.

“Battle, Battle, Battle Sect? You are a Battle Sect?!”

Hong Chen’s face was filled with horror, his previous smugness completely gone, replaced by endless terror.

It was true that he was a Disciple of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, and there was no problem with him being the most outstanding person of his generation in Tianbei City.

But he was still a Battle Emperor and absolutely did not have the strength to provoke a Battle Sect.

His limit was, at most, to compete with a Peak Battle Emperor.

Where did the Han Family invite this person from? In a place like the Northwest Region, how could there be such a young Battle Sect?

Hong Chen’s thoughts were in chaos. From Lin Xiu, he felt a pressure that even Miss Feng in the Wind and Thunder Pavilion couldn’t give him.

That was clearly the Aura of death.

“I surrender, I surrender!”

Hong Chen immediately lost all Battle Intent, begging for mercy while sweeping towards the northern seats.

In Lin Xiu’s calm eyes, he saw undisguised killing intent.

He knew very well that only Elder Shen Yun, who was also a Battle Sect, would have a chance to save him.

However, as soon as Hong Chen turned around, he felt a strong gust of wind pressing from behind him.

Before he could even let out a scream, a massive force descended upon him. His vision went black, and he lost consciousness.

To outsiders, only two figures flashed on the Tianshi Platform, followed by one figure flying out limply, landing on the stage motionless.

“Chen’er?!”

Hong Li suddenly stood up, his face filled with sorrow and disbelief.

All of this happened too quickly; in a flash, Hong Chen was no longer moving.

“Presumptuous! Hong Chen is an inner Disciple of my Wind and Thunder Pavilion, how dare you kill him!”

Shen Yun slammed his palm onto his seat, shattering it into powder. Bolts of lightning flashed beneath his feet, and with a muffled thunderous sound, he charged out from the northern seats.

Bang!

The next second, only a muffled thud was heard, echoing in the sky above the Tianshi Platform.

A black shadow flew backward at an extremely fast speed towards the stands. The immense impact shattered the seats, and some members of the Hong Family who couldn't dodge in time were struck, vomiting blood on the spot.

“Attack! After today, there will be no Hong Family in Tianbei City!”

Han Yue drew her sword, her killing intent chilling, and her cold shout resounded throughout the entire Tianshi Platform.

The next moment, signals rang out across the city. Near the Hong Family’s properties, large numbers of fighters emerged, all wielding weapons, charging towards the Hong Family members.

“Han Chi! You are courting death!”

Hong Li reacted at this moment, realizing that the Han Family had come with a conspiracy today.

He quickly took out a blood-colored jade tablet from his naring and crushed it forcefully.

This was the signal to notify the Old Ancestor.

Sure enough, the moment the jade shattered, a roar filled with furious killing intent erupted from a corner of Tianbei City.

“Dare to kill someone from my Hong Family! No matter who you are, this Old Man will tear you to pieces and scatter your ashes today!”

The thunderous roar echoed throughout the entire sky above Tianbei City.

Han Chi’s expression changed, his gaze trembling slightly, “Hong Tianxiao is out! This old fellow is the Hong Family’s Old Ancestor. His strength is even greater than Elder Shen Yun of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion. Can Lin Xiu deal with him?”

Whether today’s matter could succeed depended largely on Hong Tianxiao.

Thinking of this, Han Chi’s gaze searched, finally resting on the young man standing in the Void Realm.

The other party’s expression was calm, possessing a composure that feared no collapse of the heavens.
