Chapter 465: The Liu Family's Annihilation
"Prefect, Prefect, the Li family, no, the Chu family siblings and four immortals have descended from the sky and landed in the city!"
"What?"
The Ningzhou Prefect shot to his feet upon hearing this, muttering, "Descended from the sky, those four immortals are at least at the Dao Foundation Realm. That is an existence on par with the National Preceptor. Quick, prepare a horse so I and the others can go pay our respects to the immortals!"
"Yes!"
The same thing was happening in the various great houses of the inner city.
A group of patriarchs and the prefect made the same choice. Although some people in their families had obtained a immortal destiny, most were only at the Body Tempering Realm and could only fly by riding spiritual beasts.
Flying through the air was, in their eyes, an unattainable feat.
After Chu Xuedao casually found someone on the road to ask for directions to the Liu Residence, the group unhurriedly walked toward it.
At the same time, inside the Liu Residence.
The steward stumbled and ran toward the front hall. The moment he entered, his footing became unsteady, and he fell to his knees with a thud.
Seeing this, Liu Father's face showed displeasure. His Liu family was now a family of immortals.
For a subordinate to act in such a manner was simply embarrassing him. He said with a stern face, "Steward, you had better give this old man a reasonable explanation, or don't blame me for being merciless."
Hearing this, the steward came back to his senses and shouted, "Patriarch, something terrible has happened! That Li Ping'an brat is leading several immortals to kill their way toward our Liu family!!!"
"Hmph!"
Hearing this, Liu Father snorted coldly, "A fatherless and motherless bastard, how could he possibly have a immortal destiny? You must have been deceived."
The steward said with a look of despair, "Patriarch, if you do not believe me, you can take people to see for yourself. I expect they are not far from the Liu Residence now."
"Fine!"
Liu Father said with an unhappy expression, "If you have deceived this old man, then this old man will definitely dig out your gallbladder to see what kind of guts you actually have!"
Hearing this, the steward thought to himself: Just get through this disaster first.
Liu Father said to the guard beside him, "Go to this old man's study and bring out that thing. The rest of you, come with me."
"Yes."
After everyone responded, they split up to carry out their tasks.
————
"The Liu Residence."
Chu Xuedao looked at the brand-new residence before him, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, his eyes filled with killing intent.
Chu Yingying, who was at his side, also had a look of anger on her face. If her elder brother had not spoken, she would have wanted to shatter the Liu Residence's main gate with a single palm and drag out that group of ungrateful wretches.
Creak... creak...
The main gate of the Liu Residence slowly opened.
They saw Liu Father leading a group of martial artists walking out menacingly. The moment he saw Chu Xuedao, he spoke, "Li Ping'an, you couldn't be regretting it and wanting to come back to this old man to ask for more silver, could you?"
"Hmph!"
Chu Xuedao snorted coldly, "I do indeed regret it, but what I regret is not taking less of your silver, but regretting that I shouldn't have aided your Liu family back then, only to have raised a pack of white-eyed wolves like you. Today, I will personally bury your Liu family!!!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding atmosphere instantly changed.
Before Liu Father could even speak, a series of horse hooves sounds came from both sides of the street.
They saw the Ningzhou Prefect and the various patriarchs whipping their horses and rushing toward the Liu Residence.
"Woah!"
They saw Chu Xuedao and the immortals standing at the entrance of the Liu Residence and quickly pulled the reins in their hands, stopping in place.
Seeing this scene, Liu Father's mouth curled into a slight smile. In his view, whether it was the Prefect or the various patriarchs, they were all here to support his Liu family.
He sneered, "Just because you're a kid whose hair hasn't even fully grown, you want to destroy my Liu Residence? You truly don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Today, there is no need for my Liu Family to make a move; the friends of the Ningzhou Prefecture here can capture you!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the Prefect and the others immediately showed looks of panic. Chu Xuedao glanced at everyone without concern and said with a smile, "Is that so? You are all here to lend the Liu family a hand?"
"No, no, no..."
The Prefect was the first to speak, "Upper Immortal Chu, please do not misunderstand. We came here today specifically to pay our respects to the Upper Immortal."
The other patriarchs also chimed in one after another, "That's right, we are all here to witness the Upper Immortal's distinguished bearing!"
Chu Xuedao nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this. "Very good. Since you are not here to be buried with the Liu family, then stand to the side and obediently watch the show. Otherwise, the blade in my hand is blind, and it would not be good if I were to injure you all by accident."
"Yes."
The Prefect said, wiping the sweat from his forehead with his hand. He thought to himself, luckily, my reaction was fast enough, otherwise, I would have become an accomplice of the Liu family.
Liu Father was confused by everyone's words. He asked with a cold face, "Lord Prefect, a few days ago when you came to visit, you did not speak like this. Could it be that you are going to break your promise?"
The Prefect did not expect that the Liu family patriarch still couldn't see the reality of the situation and wanted to drag him down with him. He quickly distanced himself.
"You with the surname Liu, don't talk nonsense. This old man was just following procedure and has no relation to your Liu family whatsoever."
"Hmph!"
Liu Father snorted coldly. "Old thing, so you're also a fence-sitter. You don't think my Liu family has no trump cards, do you? Someone, bring out the sword!"
"Yes!"
After the martial artists behind him responded, they immediately walked out carrying a chest.
Chu Xuedao had no intention of interrupting them, quietly watching their performance. To kill this old fellow with a single strike would be too cheap; only by letting him experience despair before dying could the hatred in his heart be resolved.
Bang!
The chest landed on the ground. Liu Father personally opened the chest, and inside were three wooden swords. Each wooden sword emitted a bone-chilling aura.
Liu Father took out a knife from his waist, and after cutting his index finger, he dripped blood onto one of the wooden swords. He then shouted loudly, "Strike!!!"
As the words fell, he pointed his hand toward Chu Xuedao.
Clang!
Accompanied by the sound of a sword's cry, the wooden sword, like a bolt of lightning, flew toward Chu Xuedao.
The Prefect and the others saw this scene and subconsciously cast their gazes toward the three cultivators behind Chu Xuedao.
Just as that sword was about to touch Chu Xuedao's throat, a slender, jade-like hand suddenly appeared out of nowhere and pinched the wooden sword between two fingers.
Everyone followed that hand to look and saw a veiled woman with an ethereal, fairy-like aura looking at Liu Father with icy eyes.
This woman was Chu Caiyi. She said faintly, "A mere trick."
As the words fell, she flipped her wrist. With a crack, the wooden sword instantly snapped. She then casually waved her hand.
The broken sword transformed into a beam of light and flew toward the chest.
Boom!
Accompanied by a loud bang, the chest was instantly shattered, and the remaining two wooden swords also turned to dust.
Silence...
The entire street instantly fell silent. Everyone stood frozen in place as if turned to stone.
Strong, that Upper Immortal was simply too strong.
The crowd of onlookers had originally thought there would be a magical battle between the two sides, after which Chu Xuedao and the others would win. They never expected the victory to be this effortless.
Seeing this scene, Liu Father's legs went soft, and he fell to the ground with a thud. He muttered, "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. How could my Liu family's immortal magical artifact fail?"
Pfft...
Hearing this, Chen Qianqian couldn't help but laugh out loud. "What kind of artifact is this? It's just a blood-refined object. It might be enough to scare mortals, but it's completely useless against a true cultivator."
Chu Caiyi said to her son and daughter, "Xuedao, Yingying, I'll leave the rest to you."
"Yes, Mother!"
Chu Xuedao and Chu Yingying said in unison.
Just three short words, but to the crowd, they sounded like thunder striking from a clear sky.
The Prefect and the others all widened their eyes, looking at the Chu siblings with gazes of shock and envy. No one had imagined that these two common street children were actually descendants of immortals.
Of course, the most surprised person on the field was Liu Father. He was filled with immense regret at that moment; an immortal son-in-law had been lost by him just like that. He looked at Chu Xuedao, who was walking toward him step by step, and muttered:
"Ping'an, Ping'an, don't. This old man is your father-in-law!"
"Hmph!"
Chu Xuedao snorted coldly. "Old thief, there is no Li Ping'an in this world anymore. Remember my name is Chu Xuedao, so that when you reach the Yellow Springs and King Yama asks, you'll know whose hands you died in!"
As the words fell, he fiercely drew the precious blade from his waist and swung it toward Liu Father.
Shing!
The flash of the blade passed, and Liu Father fell into a pool of blood before he could even scream.
The people around saw this scene and thought to themselves: The Liu Residence is completely finished...
