After slaying Ao Gong, Aotian exhaled a puff of white breath and slowly shifted his gaze toward the Zheng Family members.
When the Zheng Family members noticed Aotian's gaze upon them, they couldn't help but shudder. Although Aotian's expression did not appear fierce at that moment, anyone who made eye contact with him felt an inexplicable tremor in their hearts.
Aotian did not speak, and naturally, the Zheng Family members did not dare to break the silence. Thus, a heavy atmosphere suddenly enveloped the space.
Time passed slowly, and Aotian remained calm, showing no indication of how he would deal with the Zheng Family. However, the members of the Zheng Family were in agony.
It felt as if they were waiting for death. Sometimes death itself is not terrifying; what is truly frightening is knowing that the outcome is death while being powerless to change it, forced to wait for it to come.
As for fighting back, just as they entertained that thought, seeing the formidable presence beside Aotian made them abandon it helplessly.
Fighting back would only lead to death; perhaps surrendering might offer a chance of survival...
This thought involuntarily surfaced in the minds of the Zheng Family members.
Zheng Kongqiang's expression changed several times before he shouted:
"Zheng Family Guards, heed my command! Immediately move forward and chop Aotian into pieces! Whoever can kill Aotian will have their pick of the Zheng Family's martial arts!"
Upon hearing this, the Zheng Family members' eyes filled with a burning intensity. The advanced martial arts of the Zheng Family indeed held great allure for them.
However, when they saw Aotian's increasingly cold expression, they quickly suppressed their fervor, fearing that Aotian would notice.
Martial arts may be enticing, but one must have a life to enjoy them.
Aotian slowly revealed a strange smile and said:
"Those who surrender shall not be killed!"
"Haha, Aotian, no one from the Zheng Family will surrender, you..."
Zheng Kongqiang laughed heartily, his laughter filled with mockery. However, before he could finish his sentence, it abruptly stopped.
One by one, the Zheng Family members knelt down before Aotian, the sound of their knees hitting the ground was exceptionally crisp.
"Young Master Aotian, we are willing to surrender. Please don't kill us!"
"Yes, Young Master Aotian, we were forced into this. Please spare us!"
"Young Master Aotian, we are willing to serve you like cattle and horses. We only ask that you do not kill us!"
Hearing these pleas for mercy, Zheng Kongqiang's face turned a mix of red and pale. Just moments ago, he had claimed that the Zheng Family would never surrender, yet before he could finish speaking, the Zheng Family members were kneeling one after another begging for mercy. It felt like a slap directly to Zheng Kongqiang's face.
It was a burning pain!
Niu Geng couldn't help but shout out:
"Haha, Young Master Zheng, weren't you just bragging about how formidable your Zheng Family members are? What happened? Now they are all cowering and begging for mercy?"
The kneeling Zheng Family members felt their faces flush with shame at Niu Geng's words. Their faces were filled with humiliation, but if this shame could save their lives, they would likely endure it no matter how embarrassing it was.
Zheng Kongqiang's eyes burned with fury at Niu Geng's taunts. If there were a crack in the ground at that moment, he would have undoubtedly burrowed into it without hesitation.
"Worthless fools! All of you get up!"
Zheng Kongqiang kicked over a nearby Zheng Family Member who was kneeling on the ground, then shouted angrily at the others.
The other members of the Zheng Family trembled upon hearing Zheng Kongqiang's words, their faces showing hesitation. After all, Zheng Kongqiang held significant authority within the Zheng Family, which naturally instilled fear in these individuals.
However, everyone knew that Zheng Kongqiang was already in a precarious situation. Thus, the Zheng Family Members remained kneeling and did not respond to Zheng Kongqiang's commands.
Seeing this, Aotian's eyes flashed with coldness, and he calmly asked, "Do you want to survive?"
Instantly, those kneeling Zheng Family Members nodded vigorously, like chicks pecking at grain.
"It's not impossible for me to let you go. Whoever can kill a Zheng Family Member will be spared!"
Upon hearing Aotian's words, everyone silently gave him a thumbs up in their hearts. Aotian was inciting the Zheng Family to turn against each other, allowing the Aojia to take down the Zheng Family at minimal cost.
The kneeling Zheng Family Members shuddered at Aotian's words but hesitated to act, clearly indecisive.
Zheng Kongqiang's face changed drastically upon hearing Aotian's statement. He addressed the kneeling Zheng Family Members, saying, "You can't trust Aotian! He's forcing us to turn on each other, and in the end, he won't spare you! The only way out is for us to unite; we must not fight among ourselves now. Only then do we have a chance of survival."
Indeed, after hearing Zheng Kongqiang's words, the kneeling Zheng Family Members showed signs of being moved. However, when they saw the powerful forces gathered around Aotian, they became hesitant again.
In their view, even if the Zheng Family worked together, their chances of winning were still very low.
"Well? Have you made your decision?" Aotian maintained his calm demeanor as if he had already secured the Zheng Family Members' fate.
The members of the Zheng Family kneeling on the ground exchanged glances, and as if reaching some sort of tacit understanding, they simultaneously charged towards the Zheng Family members who had not surrendered to Aotian.
Then, a brutal slaughter commenced.
Surprisingly, the captain of the Zheng Family Guard also betrayed the Zheng Family, mercilessly attacking the Zheng Family members.
It must be said that in the face of life, everything seemed fragile.
Zheng Kun and Zheng Kongqiang, father and son, trembled with rage at this sight, their faces turning pale as they let out a furious roar and charged at those who had betrayed the Zheng Family.
Meanwhile, today's protagonist, Aojia, became a spectator, watching with great interest as the Zheng Family fought among themselves.
The onlookers exchanged glances, astonished that they first witnessed infighting within Aojia and now were seeing infighting within the Zheng Family. This sudden turn of events was simply overwhelming.
However, when everyone saw the young boy firmly protected in the center by Aojia's members, they couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines.
This boy not only possessed terrifying strength but was also ruthless against his enemies and exceptionally intelligent; with just a few words, he incited infighting within the Zheng Family. To be enemies with such a person would undoubtedly make one restless!
At the same time, they silently decided that from now on, whenever they saw Aojia's Young Master Aotian, they would immediately take a detour. Otherwise, if they angered this little ancestor, they wouldn't even know how they died.
As time slowly passed, the bodies of the Zheng Family members piled up more and more, and the thick bloodthirst made people nauseous.
Xiao Hong'er, this loli, had long been arranged into Aojia by Xiao Ya, clearly not wanting her to witness such a bloody scene to avoid leaving a psychological scar.
However, within the Zheng Family, Zheng Kun and Zheng Kongqiang were absolutely invincible. Thus, anyone who betrayed the Zheng Family almost met with their deadly hands.
Seeing that father and son Zheng Kun had gradually gained control of the situation, Aotian turned to speak to everyone from Aojia:
“Aotian Guard Team, listen up! Move forward and capture the remnants of the Zheng Family immediately!”
Upon hearing Aotian's command, the Aotian Guard Team charged forward with sinister grins, launching a massacre against the remaining Zheng Family Members who had yet to fall.
Those who surrendered were tied up by the Aotian Guard Team, clearly waiting to deal with them after the battle concluded.
This time, the Zheng Family truly faced a complete rout. Aotian and Xiao Ya worked together to fight Zheng Kun, who eventually fell after holding out for a while.
Although Zheng Kongqiang possessed the cultivation of the Human Spirit Realm, he could not withstand the combined assault from Niu Geng and Sun Jing for long and was soon subdued.
Looking at the defeated Zheng Kongqiang, who appeared listless in his grasp, a sinister smile spread across Niu Geng's face. He then slapped Zheng Kongqiang twice on the face and said:
“Young man, weren't you very arrogant? Show me that arrogance again!”
In an instant, Zheng Kongqiang's face became swollen, and he glared at Niu Geng with resentment, saying:
“Damn you, I’ll remember these two slaps! Just wait, I won’t let you or Aotian off!”
Hearing this, Niu Geng's temper flared up, and he kicked Zheng Kongqiang in the chest, causing him to fall unceremoniously to the ground.
“Damn it! You’ve become a prisoner and still dare to be arrogant? Let’s see if I don’t beat you to death today!”
After saying that, Niu Geng kicked Zheng Kongqiang twice more.
Immediately, a scream escaped from Zheng Kongqiang's mouth.
“I’ll make you regret being arrogant! I’ll make you regret it!”
Niu Geng kept kicking Zheng Kongqiang, cursing him intermittently.
"Ah..."
Suddenly, Zheng Kongqiang's wails echoed continuously, accompanied by the crisp sound of bones breaking.
"Stop!"
At that moment, a weak voice rang out.
Everyone was slightly startled and turned to look in the direction of the voice, only to see Bai Xin, who had somehow woken up and was struggling to get up.
Aotian narrowed his eyes and said, "What’s this, Bai Xin, Young Master? Are you trying to go against our agreement?"
Upon seeing Bai Xin awake, Zheng Kun immediately shouted, "Bai Xin, Young Master, save me! Save the Zheng Family!"
Bai Xin glanced at Zheng Kun and coldly replied, "Today’s gambling match is my defeat. Neither I nor Ice River Sect will interfere in matters between you and the Zheng Family. However, Zheng Kongqiang is my junior brother. I absolutely cannot stand by and watch his life be threatened without taking action!"
As soon as Bai Xin finished speaking, Zheng Kun deflated like a punctured balloon, his face filled with despair.
Meanwhile, Zheng Kongqiang shouted with resentment:
"You all wait for me. When I return to the Ice River Sect, I will definitely not let you off!"
Aotian's expression turned cold. He knew that getting Zheng Kongqiang to give up his hatred towards him and Aojia was nearly impossible. And if he were to let Zheng Kongqiang go, it would be like releasing a tiger back into the mountains.
"Bai Xin, you heard the resentment in Zheng Kongqiang's tone, right? If I let him go, wouldn't that be laying a hidden danger for myself? Therefore, I absolutely cannot release this person!"
Aotian shook his head and said firmly.
Bai Xin's expression turned somewhat grim upon hearing this. At that moment, he wanted to teach Aotian a lesson, but he was already severely injured, and Aotian had gathered a rather strong lineup around him. If he were to confront them head-on, it would only lead to his own suffering.
Thus, Bai Xin suppressed the anger in his heart and stared at Aotian, saying:
"You will regret this..."
