Inside the dark haunted house, Tang Xiu had already maintained a cross-legged posture, and the cigarette between his fingers was also emitting green smoke. Dressed in white, the handsome Light was fiddling with the crescent-shaped machete in his hand and didn't even glance at Dongbei Hu who just came in.
In the darkest corner, Dark seemed to have blended with the darkness and converged her aura. Even though Dongbei Hu had a very high cultivation, he didn't notice the slightest abnormality. Of course, this was also because of the black cloth in front of her.
"You're Tan Xiu?"
Dongbei Hu's eyesight was amazing. He was secretly shocked when he saw more than 20 corpses inside, two of which were headless. His identity was extraordinary, but he didn't want to commit murder before. It had been more than a decade since he killed someone with his own hands.
"Shhh …"
Tan Xiu raised his right index finger and put it to his mouth. His eyes moved away from Dongbei Hu to look at Yao Chengqing and the dozens of experts of the Yao Family.
Dongbei Hu furrowed his brows. But his 200 years of lifespan had long given him great wisdom and patience. Therefore, he fell into silence and calmly stood there, wanting to see what kind of trick Tan Xiu would play.
After Yao Chengqing entered the haunted house, he smelled a strong smell of blood. His complexion changed and he dashed to the front of Dongbei Hu. His eyes swept over the corpses and finally landed on Yao Xinhua, who was lying limply on the ground like a pile of mud.
"Son!"
Yao Chengqing roared and dashed to Yao Xinhua's side. He squatted down and carefully propped him up, letting him sit on the ground and lean on his arms.
Yao Xinhua's breathing was weak and his face was as pale as a sheet of paper. His handsome face was now wet with sweat in addition to the coagulated blood scabs. His blurred vision clearly saw that it was his father who held him up. He squeezed out a smile and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry, Dad. I have one favor to ask of you, just one favor. "
Yao Chengqing's eyes overflowed with tears as he repeatedly nodded and said, "Tell me, Son. Dad will promise you anything."
Yao Xinhua's throat squirmed and he pleaded, "Please kill me, Dad. Dying in your hands is better than dying in his hands. I'm afraid … I'm afraid I won't be able to die in peace. "
Yao Chengqing's heart trembled as a heart-wrenching and lung-splitting pain surged inside him like a tide. His hands grabbed Yao Xinhua even tighter as he repeatedly shook his head and said, "Son, you won't die. Don't worry! As long as I'm here, no one can kill you. "
Saying that!
He was about to get up and walk towards Tan Xiu.
However, Yao Xinhua burst out with all the strength he had gathered after resting for a while. He grabbed Yao Chengqing's foot and hurriedly shouted, "Dad, let's go! You … you're not his match. "
When Tan Xiu saw the scene before him, he clapped his hands and said with a smile, "What a touching scene. The deep love between father and son. However, since you're here today, don't be in a hurry to go back. Of course, you won't be able to go back anyway. It just so happens that I'm someone who likes to do good deeds, so I'll send you, father and son, to the Yellow Springs Road today, so we can take care of each other on the way, no? "
Yao Chengqing squatted down again and hugged Yao Xinhua. He glared at Tan Xiu and sternly shouted, "I've long heard that there's a great freak among those cowards of the Tang Family. I didn't expect that you're more powerful than I imagined. But … even if you're powerful, what can you do? You can kill ordinary people like them, but can you challenge Lord Hu? Stupid boy, today is the day you die. "
Tan Xiu grinned. He flicked the ash on his cigarette and smilingly said, "Seeing you so full of confidence, I suddenly remembered a saying: extreme prosperity is bound to fall. The Yao Family has been powerful for decades, and the children of this family have been infected with an arrogant and domineering aura. Their bones are incomparably arrogant. It's a pity that the vision of the top families in China is too narrow. Well, since you're also a respected figure in the Yao Family, I'll use your blood to pay tribute to the deceased members of my Tang Family today. "
Whoosh …
The crescent-shaped machete in Light's hand instantly shot out and rapidly rotated toward Yao Chengqing. At this moment, Dongbei Hu coldly snorted and flicked his fingers. A flame rose from his fingertips and hit the crescent-shaped machete.
BAM …
Light's body trembled and a dense killing intent appeared on his face. Dongbei Hu's complexion greatly changed and he retreated half a step back, barely managing to stabilize his body with his toes. However, even so, his wrist still felt a little sore and numb, and there was also a faint pain.
"Hold on!"
Tan Xiu raised his arm to stop Light from continuing to attack. He let out a faint smile as he glanced at Dongbei Hu and smilingly said, "You must be the legendary Dongbei Hu of the Northeast, right? You're already so old, yet you don't want to spend your remaining years in your hometown in the Northeast. Instead, you actually run out here and cause trouble! Even if you don't think about yourself, don't you think about your descendants? "
Dongbei Hu glanced at him with vigilance, but a storm was constantly churning inside his heart. During the exchange just now, he discovered a situation that made his heart go cold. The white-robed young man in front of him, who looked to be only twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, had a very strong cultivation base. He even faintly felt that the young man was superior to him.
However!
Such a powerful young man actually stood respectfully next to Tan Xiu, greatly raising his vigilance against Tan Xiu. He had a feeling that Tang Xiu exuded a very evil aura. This kind of aura was like a dormant python that could pounce and bite him at any time. He wanted to see through Tan Xiu's strength, but he found that looking at Tan Xiu in front of him was like looking at the flower in the mirror and the moon in the water — a blurry scene.
"You seem very confident, young man."
Dongbei Hu, after all, had his own dignity. Looking at Tan Xiu who looked down on him, he couldn't restrain the anger inside him.
"Don't be afraid." Tan Xiu smilingly said, "I may hate my enemies and will do anything to get rid of them, but I won't easily touch your descendants. Of course, the premise is that they don't provoke me, else I don't mind uprooting them. Actually, I just want to figure out one thing. "
Dongbei Hu squinted his eyes and asked, "What do you want to know?"
"The reason why you came to the Imperial Capital to make things difficult for my Tang Family is not just to repay the Yao Family's life-saving grace, am I right?" Tan Xiu smilingly said.
Dongbei Hu stared blankly for a moment and then looked at Tan Xiu in surprise. As a matter of fact, his purpose in coming to the Imperial Capital was indeed as Tan Xiu said. It was not just to repay the debt of gratitude. He also wanted to help him get a lot of cultivation resources through the Yao Family. As a cultivator, the higher his cultivation level was, the more cultivation resources he needed to consume.
But!
He hadn't mentioned this purpose to the Yao Family's Patriarch for the time being. The idea only existed in his mind, and he couldn't figure out how Tan Xiu guessed it.
"You're right. I need something, and the Yao Family should be able to help me. "
Tan Xiu nodded and said, "It's really a good idea to kill two birds with one stone. But it's a pity that you've just shot yourself in the foot. Not only will you not get any benefits, but you'll also end up losing everything, suffering a double loss! Alright, I'll give you a chance, a chance to survive. "
Dongbei Hu couldn't help laughing. Although Tan Xiu and Light gave him some pressure, he didn't believe that these two brats would be his match in a desperate fight. Although he had been concealing his strength and rarely fought with others all these years, he was also an old man who had gone through a storm of blood, so he wasn't afraid of fighting.
"Interesting. Tell me, what kind of chance will you give me?"
"I'll give you 24 hours to kill all the direct descendants of the Yao Family," said Tan Xiu. "I want to see no less than 100 corpses."
The smile on Dongbei Hu's face gradually faded and was replaced by a sneer as he ridiculed, "Young man, do you really think you can kill me just because you have some ability?"
"It seems you don't want the chance I'm giving you, no?" Tan Xiu said.
"That's not necessary," sneered Dongbei Hu.
"The most pitiful thing is that you're a frog in a well, yet you're so arrogant and conceited." Tan Xiu shook his head and sighed. "Well, you've been living in China for nearly 200 years, so it's time for you to experience your tribulation now. Light, I need the Golden Core inside his body to concoct a pill. "
"Understood!"
Light respectfully replied. His figure instantly appeared in front of Dongbei Hu. As the crescent moon-shaped machete danced in the air, layers of overlapping blade images instantly shrouded Dongbei Hu. At the same time, flames appeared out of thin air and lightning bolts suddenly surged. In a very short time, an electric flame array was formed and suppressed Dongbei Hu.
"What?!"
Dongbei Hu had never seen such a method. While he was horrified, he also realized that he might have encountered an unprecedented crisis today. When Tan Xiu said that he needed the Golden Core inside his body, he realized that Tan Xiu had seen through his cultivation. What shocked him the most was that Tan Xiu even threatened to use the Golden Core to concoct a pill.
"BREAK …!"
Dongbei Hu brandished his steel fists and a huge amount of True Essence gushed out. Fist images appeared and fiercely bombarded the crescent moon-shaped machete. At the same time, a small peach wood sword appeared in his hand out of thin air. A trace of blood was forced out from his finger and quickly fused into the small peach wood sword. The blazing sword light seemed to be able to tear the space barrier and stabbed the electric flame array.
Tan Xiu furrowed his brows and indifferently said, "I don't want this haunted house to be destroyed."
Whoosh …
In the blink of an eye, a black cloth wrapped around the Manchurian tiger. A flying sword moved like a sentient fish and gracefully swept past Dongbei Hu's neck. Despite Dongbei Hu dodging extremely fast, a bloody wound was still left on the right side of his neck.
"How can there be someone else here?"
Dongbei Hu was scared out of his wits. His earth-shattering strike couldn't even break the electric flame array. However, a flying sword that only existed in legends had almost decapitated him.
