"Regretting will be a matter for the future; today, no one can save Zheng Kongqiang!" Aotian said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Kongqiang's expression changed immediately, and he exclaimed urgently, "Aotian, let me go quickly, or my master will definitely tear you to pieces!"
However, Aotian seemed oblivious to Zheng Kongqiang's words and simply gazed quietly at Bai Xin.
Bai Xin's expression shifted for a moment before she glared at Aotian and said, "I hope you can remain this arrogant!"
With that, Bai Xin turned and left without looking back.
"Senior Brother, Senior Brother, you can't just leave me! Please help me! Senior Brother!" Zheng Kongqiang shouted anxiously as he saw Bai Xin about to depart.
Yet, Bai Xin ignored him completely, her face cold as she walked toward Ning City.
What no one noticed was that at the moment she left, a complex look flashed in Bai Xin's eyes—there was pity, coldness, and a hint of relief.
As Bai Xin disappeared from everyone's sight, a chilling smile slowly crept across her lips as she murmured, "Kongqiang, you can't blame Senior Brother; after all, it was your choice to become my master's disciple. For the sake of my position, you must die! Don't worry, Aotian humiliated me; I will make him pay dearly while avenging you..."
Niu Geng looked at Bai Xin's retreating figure and asked Aotian, "Boss, I don't think this Bai Xin is a good person either. Shouldn't we 'take care' of her too?"
As he spoke the last two words, Niu Geng's eyes were filled with killing intent.
Aotian slowly shook his head, rejecting Niu Geng's suggestion, and said, "Bai Xin is not simple; it won't be easy to keep him."
In fact, Aotian also wanted to kill Bai Xin because Bai Xin's potential was even more terrifying than Zheng Kongqiang's. His encounter with Bai Xin today had been quite unpleasant, and it was possible that Bai Xin might cause him trouble in the future.
However, as the Young Master of Ice River Sect, Bai Xin must have some life-saving trump cards. If he truly pushed Bai Xin to a corner, the outcome of their confrontation would be uncertain.
Aotian felt that within Bai Xin lay an immense energy. If Bai Xin were to unleash this energy, it could easily obliterate him.
Moreover, given Bai Xin's special status in Ice River Sect, if Aotian killed Bai Xin, it would likely drive Ice River Sect into a frenzy.
Considering all these factors, Aotian ultimately chose to let Bai Xin go.
What surprised Aotian was that Bai Xin would so easily give up on Zheng Kongqiang, who was his junior brother.
But little did Aotian know that Bai Xin regarded his junior brother as a thorn in his side and wished for nothing more than for him to die at any moment.
After hearing Aotian's words, Niu Geng nodded thoughtfully. He also sensed that Bai Xin was not simple and felt a deadly sense of crisis from him.
Seeing this violent figure deep in thought surprised Aotian, who then smiled and said, "Alright, stop overthinking it. Let's first resolve the issue at hand."
Niu Geng nodded lightly and then looked at Zheng Kongqiang with a sinister grin.
At this moment, Zheng Kongqiang's eyes were vacant, and his face was filled with disbelief. He never expected that his senior brother would abandon him and run away alone.
Bai Xin's departure undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to Zheng Kongqiang's spirit. At the same time, he realized that his reliance on Bai Xin today could no longer protect him.
When Zheng Kongqiang saw Niu Geng approaching with a sinister grin, fear immediately spread across his face. He struggled to crawl backward, repeatedly shouting, "No... don't come over. I was wrong. I won't dare to provoke Aotian again. Please don't come closer... ah..."
Before Zheng Kongqiang could finish his words, Niu Geng slapped him hard across the face. Instantly, a mouthful of blood along with several teeth flew out from Zheng Kongqiang's mouth, and he was sent flying away from Far Away, letting out a prolonged scream of agony.
"Kongqiang, run! Get out of here and come back to avenge your father!" Suddenly, Zheng Kun shouted.
"Heh heh, at this point, you old fool still think about revenge? Just wait until I take care of you!" Niu Geng sneered and then swung his fist towards Zheng Kun.
In an instant, a fierce force pierced through the air and struck Zheng Kun.
Zheng Kun let out a cry of pain as he was sent flying like a kite with its string cut, crashing to the ground and convulsing uncontrollably.
"Father!"
Seeing this, Zheng Kongqiang's eyes turned bloodshot as he cried out in anguish.
"I'll fight you to the end!" Looking at Zheng Kun writhing on the ground and wailing continuously, Zheng Kongqiang roared in fury.
As soon as the words fell, he broke free from Sun Jing's restraint and lunged towards Niu Geng.
Niu Geng was slightly startled, but then a terrifying grin reappeared on his face as he quietly watched Zheng Kongqiang charge at him.
At that moment, a fierce force shot out from Aotian's palm and struck Zheng Kongqiang hard in the chest.
"Poof."
Instantly, Zheng Kongqiang spat out a mouthful of crimson blood, which was mixed with fragments. After being hit by the force, Zheng Kongqiang no longer had any breath left and became a corpse.
Aotian said calmly, "Don't waste time. Eliminate them quickly to avoid any unexpected changes."
The onlookers couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts. This young man's methods were truly ruthless; watching him kill Zheng Kongqiang without even a flicker of emotion in his eyes showed that he regarded human life as nothing.
Seeing that Zheng Kongqiang was completely dead, Niu Geng kicked his corpse in frustration, cursing, "Damn it, how could he just die like this! I say we should have made him experience the torture of skinning and bone extraction before he died!"
Upon hearing this, the crowd instinctively took a step back, thinking to themselves that they would never stay in Ning City again. With these two demons around, it was simply a den of horrors.
"Aotian Guard Team, listen up! Those from the Zheng Family who refuse to surrender will be executed on the spot. Execute immediately!" Aotian announced coldly.
Immediately, excitement filled the faces of the Aotian Guard Team members, their arms gripping their weapons trembling uncontrollably. Of course, this was not trembling from fear but from excitement.
In Ning City, the Zheng and Ao families had always been at odds, and both factions wished for the other's complete destruction. This enmity was not something that could be easily resolved.
Now seeing the Zheng Family members struggling under their blades, how could the members of the Aotian Guard Team not feel excitement and exhilaration?
Watching former enemies tremble in fear beneath their swords, the excitement of the Aotian Guard Team was beyond words.
Has the day finally come to settle all scores?
A devilish smile appeared on the faces of the Aotian Guard Team.
Subsequently, those Zheng Family members who refused to surrender to the Aojia were all slain by the Aotian Guard Team, their crimson blood flowing like a river.
At this moment, outside the Aojia, the ground was covered in bright red blood, with severed limbs scattered everywhere. From a distance, it resembled a scene from hell.
As for Zheng Kun, the head of the Zheng Family, he was completely turned into a wraith under Aotian's palm.
With Zheng Kun's death, it undoubtedly symbolized the complete collapse of the Zheng Family. This once-dominant force in Ning City was about to vanish into thin air.
Looking at Zheng Kun's corpse, Ning Wen couldn't help but let out a slight sigh, feeling a sense of sorrow for the fallen.
"Aotian Guard Team, listen up! Lead most of our forces to the Zheng Family and completely eradicate their stronghold!" Aotian commanded coldly.
"Yes, we will obey Young Master's orders!"
The Aotian Guard Team responded in unison and charged toward the Zheng Family headquarters under the leadership of the violent Niu Geng.
Zheng Kun had mobilized everything to destroy Aojia. At this moment, only a fraction of the elite from the Zheng Family remained at their headquarters, making it impossible to withstand the trampling of the Aotian Guard Team.
With Niu Geng's strength at the Human Spirit Realm backing them up, the destruction of the Zheng Family was already a foregone conclusion.
After the battle with Bai Xin, Aotian was heavily injured and did not lead the team personally, instead returning to recover. Nevertheless, with Niu Geng leading the Aotian Guard Team, they were absolutely unstoppable.
Looking across Ning City, it was unlikely that any force could withstand the fierce might of this team.
Therefore, Aotian was not worried; he simply recuperated at Aojia while waiting for good news.
As night fell, the Zheng Family Mansion was engulfed in flames, and within the Zheng Family, piercing screams echoed through the air.
The Aotian Guard Team wielded their weapons, slaughtering Zheng Family members and plundering their treasures. They moved like locusts, leaving destruction in their wake.
In one of the rooms of the Zheng Family, brothers Aofeng and Ao Yu anxiously waited.
On the bed lay Ao Yu, his body completely broken, silently enduring pain and tension etched on his face.
"What on earth is happening? Didn't Father go with the Zheng Family Head to kill that bastard Aotian? Why has the Zheng Family stronghold been taken down?"
Aofeng paced back and forth in the room, his face marked by evident anxiety and fear.
"Feng'er, you should leave!"
Suddenly, Ao Yu spoke from the bed.
"What? Brother, what are you saying?" Aofeng responded in confusion.
"Father and the Zheng Family have likely met with misfortune," Ao Yu sighed.
"What? How is that possible?!" Aofeng exclaimed in shock, disbelief written all over his face.
After the shock, Aofeng had no choice but to believe, as the screams outside undoubtedly confirmed Ao Yu's suspicions.
"How could that bastard Aotian be so strong? Even with Father and the Zheng Family working together, they still can't deal with him?!"
Aofeng's eyes were filled with deep unwillingness and resentment, but deep down, there was also a hint of helplessness.
"Feng'er, you should leave quickly. If that bastard Aotian finds you, he won't let you go!" Ao Yu's tone was weak, yet filled with urgency.
"Brother, I'll carry you away. We'll find a chance to take revenge on that bastard Aotian later!"
Aofeng said as he attempted to lift Ao Yu onto his back.
However, Ao Yu stopped Aofeng's movement and said, "Feng'er, don't worry about me. I'm already useless; staying with you will only hold you back. You need to leave on your own. Remember, you must avenge Father!" Ao Yu tightly grasped Aofeng's hand, his eyes flashing with overwhelming hatred.
Aofeng was alarmed and said, "No way, Brother! If we leave, we leave together..."
