82: The Hong family mobilized their forces to besiege the Han residence, but Jiang Luo stepped in and slew the enemy!

"Flatten the Han Residence?" Jiang Luo's gaze swept over Hong Li and the Cyan Deacon, a cold sneer forming at the corner of his mouth, "With just you all?"

As soon as these words were uttered, the hearts of everyone in the Han Family, which had been hanging by a thread, finally settled slightly, while the expressions of the Hong Family members grew increasingly grim.

Hong Li stared at Jiang Luo, killing intent fully revealed in his eyes: "You are the murderer who killed my Hong Family Elder?"

"So what if I am?" Jiang Luo's tone was calm, yet a faint Scarlet Dou Qi had already risen around him, "He forcibly intruded upon the Han Residence, coerced a marriage, and tried to abduct someone; his death was well-deserved."

"What a 'well-deserved death'!"

Hong Li, enraged, laughed instead, raising his hand and waving it. Hundreds of Hong Family disciples behind him immediately pressed forward. "Today, I will not only avenge the Elder, but I will also flatten the Han Residence and tear you to pieces!"

Saying that, he leaped up, and the pressure of a Half-Step Dou Zong crashed towards Jiang Luo, his black robe flapping, and his palm strike, carrying fierce Dou Qi, chopped directly at Jiang Luo's face.

Jiang Luo stood still, not moving until the palm wind approached, then slowly raised his hand.

Scarlet Dou Qi condensed into a barrier, easily blocking Hong Li's attack. "Your strength is too weak!"

Hong Li was shaken back repeatedly, his arm numb, his heart filled with dread.

His full-power strike was actually blocked so easily by the opponent?

The Cyan Deacon beside him, Shen Yun of the Fenglei Northern Pavilion, his expression grew serious. He stepped forward and coldly shouted, "Your Excellency, how audacious! How dare you oppose the Hong Family? Are you not afraid of my Fenglei Northern Pavilion?"

"Fenglei Northern Pavilion?" Jiang Luo glanced at him, his eyes full of disdain, "Just a Sect that bullies others by relying on its power, yet it dares to clamor before this Venerable One?"

Shen Yun was furious. His Middle Stage Dou Zong aura completely erupted, cyan Dou Qi swirling around him, and a Dou Qi longsword condensed in his hand: "Arrogant fool! Today, I will let you know the consequences of offending the Northern Pavilion!"

He swung his sword, unleashing a massive cyan Sword Qi that tore through the air with a whistle, heading straight for Jiang Luo.

The surrounding common people screamed and retreated, and Han Chi and the others also clenched their fists nervously.

Jiang Luo's expression remained unchanged. Scarlet flames surged from his fingertips. With a casual wave, a Scarlet Flame Palm Print blasted out, colliding with the cyan Sword Qi.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, a wave of Qi swept in all directions, and huge ravines cracked open in the ground.

The cyan Sword Qi was instantly swallowed by the scarlet flames, and the palm print, its momentum undiminished, flew towards Shen Yun and Hong Li.

Shen Yun and Hong Li's expressions changed drastically, and they quickly joined forces to resist.

However, the Scarlet Flame Palm Print was astonishingly powerful. As soon as the two made contact, they were sent flying, spitting blood as they fell to the ground.

"A Dou… Dou Zun Expert!" Shen Yun clutched his chest, his eyes filled with despair.

He finally understood what kind of terrifying existence he was facing.

Hong Li was even more Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, struggling to get up and escape, but Jiang Luo's gaze fixed him in place, unable to move.

"Since you've come, then all of you shall stay." Jiang Luo's voice was cold. His figure flickered, and scarlet afterimages weaved through the crowd.

"Pfft! Pfft!"

Screams rang out one after another. The Hong Family disciples were utterly unable to withstand Jiang Luo's attacks, falling like cut wheat.

Shen Yun tried to activate his Dou Qi to resist, but Jiang Luo shattered his Dantian with a single palm strike, his aura instantly weakening.

Seeing that the tide had turned, Hong Li knelt and begged for mercy: "Your Excellency, spare my life! I was wrong! Please spare my Hong Family!"

Jiang Luo was unmoved, scarlet flames condensing in his palm: "If you knew this would happen today, why did you act as you did then?"

With a palm strike, Hong Li was instantly engulfed by the flames, turning into ashes.

Shen Yun also could not escape death and was casually slain by Jiang Luo.

Moments later, peace returned outside the mansion gate, with only bodies and ashes left on the ground.

The surrounding common people watched in stunned silence, and the Han Family members were filled with awe.

Jiang Luo clapped his hands and said to Han Chi, "The Hong Family has been eliminated. The Han Residence's crisis is resolved."

Han Chi immediately stepped forward and bowed deeply to Jiang Luo: "Many thanks, Young Friend Jiang Luo! Words cannot express my gratitude for this great kindness; the Han Family will definitely repay you with all its strength in the future!"

Jiang Luo nodded slightly, his gaze fixed on the distance.

With the Hong Family dealt with, next, he needed to inquire about more important information regarding the Central Plains from Han Yue.
