Chapter 2154: More Small Fries (2)

Ten people from each family jumped out with their weapons. They didn’t intend to attack him right away, more like trying to surround him; at least thirty of them acted so. The ten members of the Ximen Family executed their sword technique as their internal energy burst out from them, creating a massive pressure around them.

Tang Shaoyang faced them calmly. He even glanced toward the Alliance Leader for a moment, and the latter didn’t seem to plan to interfere.

He had prepared for this moment right after he stepped on Ximen Lin Bo’s head. Wrath of Slayer was active right after he killed Ximen Lin Bo, increasing his attributes by three times. This was the skill that could put him on par in terms of attributes against those ancient monsters.

He looked down on the Murim Alliance, but he didn’t underestimate them in a fight. Then the Azure Dragon Blade appeared in his left hand. He lowered his stance as his right hand reached the sword.

In that moment, he opened the Eight Heavenly Gate, Heavenly Vermilion. The sheath burst out in golden-crimson flame as the cry of Vermilion resounded. He didn’t plan to go easy on them just because they were weaker than he was.

The Fifth Heavenly Gate, Heavenly Sword - Heavenly Revoke

It seemed the Alliance Leader Zhong sensed something as he tried to interfere before Tang Shaoyang pulled his sword.

”STOP!”

His figure disappeared from the seat, appearing in front of Tang Shaoyang with his swords out. However, he was too late because Tang Shaoyang already sheathed the sword. With a click, the building was cut into two and burst out with the golden-crimson fire.

Out of forty people, only eight people survived: five of them managed to escape intact with their bodies, one of them lost both of their legs, one of them lost a right hand, and the third lost his left hand. The remaining thirty-two people were killed, split into two parts, before the golden-crimson flame burned their bodies crisp.

Zhong Tian Yun realized that he was too late. He turned around and saw the dead bodies falling as they were burned. Then his eyes moved to the survivor. The moment the three wounded survivors fell to the floor, the golden-crimson burned them alive.

They screamed in agony, but the screams quickly died down as they were burned quickly until nothing was left. The fire burnt their bodies, but left the floor intact, even though it was a wooden floor. One of them managed to get to the carpet, yet the fire also didn’t burn the carpet.

The ceiling was cut and burnt as well, but the weird thing was that the fire only burnt the roof, and didn’t spread further, burning the remaining structure. It was as if the fire were under control.

No, Zhong Tian Yun was confident that the fire was under Tang Shaoyang’s control. He could not hold his shock as it was obvious on his face. A single strike killed thirty-five True God Realms.

They were not at the peak of the True God Realm, ranging from the 3rd-Stage True God Realm to the 6th-Stage True God Realm. He might be able to beat them all, but he could not achieve what Tang Shaoyang did for sure, killing them in one strike.

Not because he didn’t have a technique that could kill them in one strike, but because most of these people should be able to dodge him.

This truly hit him mentally that someone like Tang Shaoyang might be on his level or stronger than him. He was lost for words, realizing that the Thousand Vows Pavilion might be worse than the Heaven Founder.

If that was the case, this might end worse than he thought. That might be because of his mistake in calling the four great families to join this meeting. The fact that Tang Shaoyang brought Yan Xueyi proves that they were being genuine with their promise for him to meet his friend’s disciple.

His mind was in a mess, distracted by the aftermath. All scenarios played in his mind, and none of them were good. That was when he heard Tang Shaoyang’s deep voice next to his ear.

”Are you going to stand there for the entire day, or will you entertain your guests, Alliance Leader Zhong?”

Zhong Tian Yun’s eyes widened, realizing that he was exposing his back against Tang Shaoyang. His figure disappeared and returned to the platform. The Fist God and the Fire God were on their feet as well. Even though they were injured, they were ready to assist their friend anytime.

Zhong Tian Yun motioned toward his friends to stay still. He asked them to accompany just for their presence. If they were with him, that would intimidate Tang Shaoyang, refraining the Thousand Vows Pavilion to do anything rash. That was what he had in mind, and he realized that might not work now with what happened.

Their reputation was not enough to deter Tang Shaoyang. Maybe it was him who was stupid if this would work with what happened yesterday. Tang Shaoyang kept provoking yesterday, so that made him think that Tang Shaoyang might have acted differently just because his two wounded friends were here. It was his miscalculation, and things might get worse from here.

Zhong Tian Yun opened his mouth, was about to say something, until he noticed a shadow snuck from the missing roof that was burned. The figure landed behind Ximen Family Head, and a dark-red sword flashed, cutting through Ximen Qiwen’s head.

The head flew up into the air as blood spurted out. No one expected an assassination amidst the chaos. Ximen Qiwen was not expecting someone to be assassinated in the middle of the chaos. He was too engrossed, shocked by how his people fell so easily, and could not sense someone was coming from above.

Just like that, one of the Great Families lost its Family Head. That didn’t stop there as Tang Shaoyang’s followers made their move as well. Gianni, Nikolas, Mathias, Jovrick, and Ruben.

They finished off the five people who survived from Tang Shaoyang’s first strike. Those five people’s attention was on Ximen Qiwen, who was killed out of nowhere. They died in the same way as Ximen Qiwen, killed in one strike when they least expected it.
