113: Kill Zhang Deshuai

At this moment, the atmosphere at the entrance of the Chen Family Residence was heavy.

The City Guard was dense, surrounding the entire Residence tightly like an iron barrel, making it difficult for even a fly to fly in or out.

Regarding the City Lord's Mansion's massive mobilization this time, every major Family in Zanyang City was secretly observing closely.

Their informants were spread all around, and news was quickly transmitted back to their respective Families like birds in flight.

In the eyes of the major Families, after today, the Chen Family, which had once been prominent in Zanyang City, would likely cease to exist.

They were either gloating or feeling anxious, but mostly, they were calculating their own interests.

At this time, the major Families had already begun to discuss in private how they could get a piece of the pie after the City Lord's Mansion had finished carving up the Chen Family's massive cake and eaten their fill, even if it was just a sip of soup.

After all, the wealth and resources the Chen Family had accumulated over many years in Zanyang City were like a giant cake, making people drool.

Yang Lingchen and Chen Xueqi, with calm expressions, walked straight out of the Chen Family Residence in a swaggering manner.

Although there was nervousness on Chen Xueqi's Face, there was more trust in Yang Lingchen.

Yang Lingchen, meanwhile, had a firm gaze and a straight posture, as if the heavy encirclement before him was nothing but passing smoke to him.

Chen Donghai and the rest of the Chen Family also followed closely behind Yang Lingchen, each holding weapons.

Their expressions were heavy and resolute, knowing full well that they had reached a critical moment of life and death.

They knew in their hearts that regardless of whether they resisted or not, the City Lord's Mansion would not easily let them go.

Only by fighting to the death might there be a glimmer of hope.

"Little Bastard, let's see where you can run to this time!"

Zhang Deshuai looked at Yang Lingchen with cold eyes, his gaze appearing as if he wanted to swallow him alive.

He was dressed in luxurious silk robes, yet it could not hide his hideous Face.

"Did I ever say I wanted to run?"

Yang Lingchen sneered, his Face full of disdain.

He held the immortal demon sword, its blade gleaming with a cold light, as if responding to his fearlessness.

"Yang Lingchen, This Young Master is going to skin you alive and pull out your tendons."

Zhang Junhao roared with a vengeful look on his Face.

Originally, he was the most celebrated first Genius of Zanyang City, with a bright future and everyone fawning over him.

But ever since he formed a grudge with Yang Lingchen, everything had undergone an earth-shattering change.

His reputation was ruined, his cultivation level was completely destroyed, and now, his heart was filled only with hatred for Yang Lingchen.

"I don't talk to Yin and Yang people."

Yang Lingchen sneered, and that contemptuous tone made Zhang Junhao instantly furious.

"You..."

Zhang Junhao was shaking all over with rage, his Face turning red, and he said: "Catch him for This Young Master, This Young Master wants to kill him personally."

"Xueqi, wait for me here for a moment."

Yang Lingchen smiled as he looked at Chen Xueqi, his eyes filled with tenderness and determination.

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Lingchen held the immortal demon sword and, with a figure like lightning, charged toward Zhang Deshuai.

His silhouette was as fast as a ghost, instantly stirring up a strong wind.

"Capture him alive for me. Whoever catches Yang Lingchen will be heavily rewarded by me."

Zhang Deshuai shouted loudly.

His voice echoed in the air, filled with majesty and greed.

Under a heavy reward, there must be brave men.

As soon as Zhang Deshuai finished speaking, countless City Guards rushed toward Yang Lingchen like a tide, one after another.

At this moment, these City Guards were shouting, waving the weapons in their hands, with greedy glints in their eyes, as if Yang Lingchen was already within their grasp.

Facing the opponent's sea of people tactic, Yang Lingchen showed no fear.

He directly used the second form of the God-Slaying Sword, Fairy Scattering Flowers.

He saw the immortal demon sword in his hand instantly bloom with countless sword flowers, the light dazzling and mesmerizing.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

With the support of the God-Slaying Sword, wherever Yang Lingchen went, broken limbs flew, blood splattered, and corpses littered the ground.

Yang Lingchen's sword technique was incomparably sharp, with every sword strike containing powerful force and precise technique.

In less than ten breaths of time, Yang Lingchen had already killed hundreds of people.

His body was covered in blood, but his eyes became increasingly cold, like a god of slaughter from Hell.

"A demon, this is definitely a demon."

"Too cruel."

The higher-ups of other Families spying from not far away gasped at this moment.

They had originally thought this would be a one-sided battle, but they did not expect Yang Lingchen to be so brave and his methods to be so ruthless.

"Little Bastard, go to Hell."

Seeing Yang Lingchen killing more and more fiercely, Zhang Deshuai gave a cold shout and directly swung his sword to kill toward Yang Lingchen's back.

As the number one powerhouse of Zanyang City, he naturally had his own pride and arrogance.

In his view, Yang Lingchen was only brave for a moment, and as long as he found an opportunity to launch a sneak attack, he would definitely be able to subdue him.

However, Zhang Deshuai had overestimated himself and underestimated Yang Lingchen.

Just as Zhang Deshuai's battle sword was about to strike Yang Lingchen, he suddenly lost sight of Yang Lingchen.

The reason Yang Lingchen was able to dodge Zhang Deshuai's sneak attack was because his Divine Sense had been locked onto Zhang Deshuai from beginning to end.

He had long been prepared, and he had already anticipated such insidious methods from Zhang Deshuai.

Although Zhang Deshuai had joined the battle, Yang Lingchen still held the absolute upper hand, killing the City Guards until they retreated repeatedly.

His sword technique was like a violent storm, leaving the enemy unable to catch their breath.

In no time at all, more than half of the City Guards were dead or injured.

The ground was covered with corpses and blood, and the air was filled with a thick smell of blood.

At this moment, the remaining City Guards dared not step forward again.

They looked at Yang Lingchen, their eyes filled with fear, and their steps retreated involuntarily.

Seeing that the City Guards did not dare to step forward, Zhang Deshuai was so scared that he turned and ran.

His Face was pale, and his heart was filled with fear and despair.

After the previous exchange, he knew he was far from being Yang Lingchen's opponent.

However, in terms of speed, even if Zhang Deshuai were given a few more legs, he still could not outrun Yang Lingchen.

"Yang Lingchen, if you dare to hurt me, my Second Uncle will never let you go."

Zhang Deshuai said coldly while running for his life.

He tried to threaten Yang Lingchen with his Second Uncle, hoping to make him wary.

"Idiot."

Yang Lingchen was completely unmoved; he quickened his speed and instantly caught up.

"Swish, swish, swish, swish..."

Yang Lingchen couldn't be bothered with nonsense; he unleashed four sword strikes instantly, directly severing Zhang Deshuai's four limbs.

His movements were clean and swift, without the slightest hesitation.

"Ahhh..."

The intense pain caused Zhang Deshuai to let out a heart-piercing howl, his voice echoing in the air, hair-raising to hear.

At this moment, Zhang Deshuai's four limbs were all severed.

He knew that his life was over; all his wealth, all his power and status, would leave him.

"Zhang Deshuai, you and I originally had no grudge."

"If you want to blame someone, blame your son for not knowing better than to provoke me."

Yang Lingchen said coldly.

His voice was cold as frost, without the slightest pity.

"Hahaha..."

"Yang Lingchen, even if you kill me, you won't have a good ending. I will wait for you down below."

Zhang Deshuai laughed wildly, then used all his remaining strength to slam his head fiercely onto the floor.

"Bang...!"

With a muffled sound, the number one powerhouse of Zanyang City, Zhang Deshuai, completely stopped breathing.

His eyes were wide open, dying with grievances.

At this moment, everyone on the scene, including the other Families spying from afar, showed expressions of shock.

They opened their mouths wide, as if they could not believe everything that was happening before their eyes.

No one had expected that the number one expert of Zanyang City, Zhang Deshuai, would be defeated so thoroughly.

It was simply without any power to fight back.

At this moment, all the Families silently listed the Chen Family in their hearts as a Family that must not be provoked.

They knew that with a powerhouse like Yang Lingchen helping the Chen Family, it was no longer something they could easily deal with.

"Father."

Zhang Junhao shouted loudly.

His voice was filled with grief and despair.

Now he was completely desperate.

Ever since he was crippled by Yang Lingchen, Zhang Deshuai had been his only pillar of support.

And now, his only pillar was cut down by Yang Lingchen again.

At this moment, he was incomparably regretful, regretting why he had gone to provoke Yang Lingchen in the first place.

"Charge, kill him for me."

Zhang Junhao roared.

His voice had become hoarse, and his eyes were filled with madness.

But on the scene, not a single City Guard dared to step forward.

After all, even the number one powerhouse of Zanyang City, Zhang Deshuai, could not last a single round in the opponent's hands.

For them, the City Guards, to go up, what was the difference from courting death?

"Yang Lingchen, you bastard, I'll fight you to the death."

Zhang Junhao stumbled, slashing a sword toward Yang Lingchen.

His sword technique was chaotic and disorganized, having completely lost its former style.

"Since you are courting death, then I will fulfill your wish."

Yang Lingchen's eyes turned cold, and he instantly unleashed a bolt of Sword Qi.

"Swish."

This bolt of Sword Qi pierced directly through Zhang Junhao's throat.

His movement was too fast, so much so that Zhang Junhao didn't even have time to react.

"Bang."

Zhang Junhao's corpse fell straight into a pool of blood.

His eyes were still wide open, filled with unwillingness and remorse.

Since the father and son of the Zhang Family were dead, Yang Lingchen naturally could not continue to kill those innocent City Guards.

He put away the immortal demon sword, his gaze sweeping over those City Guards, and said: "You all go, behave yourselves in the future."

The City Guards felt as if they had received a pardon, and they all scattered and fled, fearing that Yang Lingchen would change his mind.

Yang Lingchen walked to the side of the corpses of Zhang Deshuai and his son and directly pulled the storage ring off their hands.

He checked the items inside the storage ring, the corners of his mouth slightly lifted, revealing a satisfied smile.

"Yang Lingchen, are you okay!"

Seeing the battle had ended, Chen Xueqi hurriedly ran over to hug Yang Lingchen and look him over.

Her eyes were filled with concern and worry, fearing that Yang Lingchen might have suffered even the slightest injury.

"I'm fine."

Yang Lingchen smiled, reached out, and gently patted Chen Xueqi's shoulder, signaling her to be at ease.

Then he looked at Chen Donghai and said: "Clan Chief Chen, now that the overall situation is settled, you should know what to do next!"

Chen Donghai was still immersed in shock at this time, and only after hearing Yang Lingchen's words did he come back to his senses.

"Fifth Elder, quickly clean up the battlefield. Everyone else, follow me to the City Lord's Mansion."

Chen Donghai quickly arranged everything, his voice filled with excitement and decisiveness.

He knew today was an excellent opportunity, an opportunity for the Chen Family to rise and become the hegemon of Zanyang City.

As the second-ranked Family of Zanyang City, now that Zhang Deshuai was gone, the Chen Family was the absolute number one Family of Zanyang City.

As long as they seized this opportunity, the Chen Family could soar into the sky.

That evening, led by Chen Donghai, the Chen Family members marched in a grand manner toward the City Lord's Mansion.

Along the way, no one dared to block them.

The guards of the City Lord's Mansion saw the Chen Family members and were all so scared that their Faces turned pale, and they surrendered without a fight.

The Chen Family successfully occupied the City Lord's Mansion and took over all of the Zhang Family's businesses.

"Young Master Yang, thanks to you today, otherwise my Chen Family would have ceased to exist today."

Chen Donghai said to Yang Lingchen with a fawning Face.

At this moment, he no longer had the arrogance of looking down on Yang Lingchen from before.

"Clan Chief Chen is too polite. Xueqi and I are good friends, so naturally I wouldn't watch her Family get into trouble."

Yang Lingchen said indifferently.

Regarding Chen Donghai, Yang Lingchen did not have any good feelings.

Recalling back in the Chen Family, Chen Donghai's snobbish tone still remained fresh in his memory.

If it weren't for the sake of Chen Xueqi's Face, he wouldn't even bother to pay attention to Chen Donghai.

That evening, the Chen Family held a grand banquet for guests.

The Clan Chiefs of all major Families in Zanyang City came in person to congratulate them and presented generous gifts.

Inside the banquet hall, the lights were brilliant, and it was exceptionally lively.

Many Clan Chiefs of the Families wanted to take this opportunity to befriend Yang Lingchen, but they were all rejected by him one by one.

After all, Yang Lingchen's ambitions did not lie here, and he had no interest whatsoever in ineffective socializing.

He only wanted to improve his strength as quickly as possible and pursue a higher Dao Realm.

At the banquet that day, the happiest person was naturally Chen Donghai, after all, with Zhang Deshuai gone from Zanyang City, the Chen Family was the veritable number one Family.

And now that his daughter was good friends with a Genius youth like Yang Lingchen, this was very important for the Chen Family's status in Zanyang City.

After all, whether a Family can remain prosperous for a long time has an absolute relationship with whether there is a backer behind them.

Chen Xueqi accompanied Yang Lingchen, her Face overflowing with a happy smile.

She knew that from now on, the Chen Family would usher in new glory.
