Chapter 79 Rushing Over (2nd Update)
Atop Sunset Mountain, the night sky glimmered with stars, but the beautiful scene did not seem peaceful.
Meanwhile, in the Feng Family's main hall, the lights were brightly lit, yet the atmosphere was exceptionally heavy.
Here, a banquet had already been set, for tonight was the ultimate deadline given by the Xiao Family for the Feng Family's marriage agreement.
Inside the hall, there was a scent of death.
The scene was filled with two or three dozen burly men, each holding a Long Blade, encircling all the Feng Family members.
And those Feng Family members, bound and kneeling on the ground.
In the most central position of the main hall, sat a middle-aged man exuding a powerful aura, filled with a fierce and savage air, who was none other than Xiao Tongnan, the Family Head of the Xiao Family.
In the crowd, kneeling at the very front, were two individuals: one was the Feng Family Head, Feng Zhen, and the other was the Feng Family's Great Elder, Feng Hong.
Xiao Tongnan stood up, glanced at the night sky, and his face suddenly darkened with a look of murderous intent:
"It's past nine o'clock now, and since my son hasn't returned, it means he hasn't found your daughter."
"If that's the case, then I'm going to start killing people."
"I've said it before, for every minute your daughter is late, I will kill one person."
As soon as he finished speaking, the blood-red Long Blade in Xiao Tongnan's hand whooshed down onto the head of one of the Feng Family members.
Splat!
Blood gushed like a fountain, and instantly a head was severed from its body.
Witnessing this spectacle!
Nearly all of the Feng Family members were enraged to the extreme, their eyes filled with unwillingness, resentment, and fury!
"You beast!!"
"Xiao Tongnan, may you not die a good death!!"
Almost every member of the Feng Family had eyes that were about to burst from sheer anger.
Xiao Tongnan, however, simply ignored the furious gazes of those Feng Family members and said coldly:
"Blame your disobedient daughter who dared to flee from the marriage, defying the wishes of the Xiao Family, she deserves to die!"
"I will wait another ten minutes, and for every extra minute, I will double the number of your Feng Family members that I kill, and if it's over ten minutes, all of your Feng Family will have to die."
Upon hearing this, every member of the Feng Family trembled, filled with both immense anger and horror.
Seeing the fear and trembling of the Feng Family members intensifying, Xiao Tongnan's smile grew even more cruel:
"Tsk tsk, my Blood Demon Skill has been stagnant lately, but I never expected that heaven would provide me with such a good opportunity to indulge in a massacre, using your Feng Family's blood to nourish my Blood Demon Saber, I believe my skills will definitely reach a new level."
Xiao Tongnan's laughter was ghastly, resembling a devil from Hell.
Feng Zhen clenched his fists tightly in secret, his heart filled with immense worry: "Qingzhu, you must escape far away, do not come back!"
Splat, splat!
Before long, the sound of blood spraying rang out again, and two more of the Feng Family individuals had their heads cleanly severed by Xiao Tongnan on the spot.
The scene was like a deathly silence, with blood staining the ground red.
Witnessing this, the depths of Feng Zhen's heart ached immensely, his profound eyes reflecting endless coldness and rage:
"Xiao Tongnan, you beast! If you have a grievance, come at me, Feng Zhen! The younger members of my Feng Family are innocent!"
"Come at you?"
Xiao Tongnan raised an eyebrow and, with the Blood Demon Saber in hand, began to walk step by step toward Feng Zhen: "Since you are so eager to die, I'll grant your wish. After I kill you, I'll slowly slaughter the rest of your Feng Family members. Don't worry, you won't be lonely in Hell; they will quickly come down to join you."
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Tongnan was already in front of Feng Zhen.
The Blood Demon Saber in his hand was raised high, poised to strike down on Feng Zhen's head.
At this sight, the Feng Family members' eyes were filled with utter despair.
Next to Feng Zhen, the Great Elder Feng Hong suddenly made a violent move, pushed Feng Zhen aside, and threw himself towards the blade of the Blood Demon Saber.
Splat!!
Blood instantly filled the air, and Great Elder Feng Hong was decapitated on the spot, dying a horrendously gruesome death.
"Great Elder!!"
Seeing this scene, everyone from the Feng Family, including Feng Zhen, was utterly heartbroken and wished they could slice Xiao Tongnan into a thousand pieces.
But now, when they themselves had become the fish on the chopping block, what could they do?
"Damn it! How dare you obstruct the one Xiao Tongnan intends to kill; even in death, I will not let you rest in peace," Xiao Tongnan snarled.
With those words, Xiao Tongnan's Blood Demon Saber did a fierce sweep, and in an instant, Feng Hong's body was torn into pieces amidst a bloody mist, a horrific sight to behold.
"Ah!!!"
"Beast! You are lower than pigs and dogs, a beast!"
Seeing the Great Elder Feng Hong's dismembered corpse, everyone from the Feng Family roared out, their hearts ablaze with fury.
Xiao Tongnan, however, laughed coldly, his smile extremely sinister:
"A bunch of damned ants dared to refuse the Xiao Family's marriage proposal; you really had a death wish."
"Now, let your fresh blood be the sacrifice to my Blood Demon Saber."
"With your deaths, my demonic power will advance further; it's not a waste for you to have lived this long."
"Feeling desperate? No matter how desperate, there is no one to save you. Here on Sunset Mountain, I, Xiao Tongnan, am the unbeatable one, the invincible existence!"
Xiao Tongnan was unbearably arrogant, his eyes cold and ruthless as he gripped the Blood Demon Saber, ready to strike Feng Zhen's neck in the very next second.
That blow would certainly decapitate Feng Zhen.
Ding!
Just at that moment, a very shrill sound suddenly rang out.
In that instant, Xiao Tongnan felt the Blood Demon Saber in his hand vibrate violently, and it deviated from its original trajectory.
And that blow did not land on Feng Zhen's neck.
Everyone was dumbfounded!
How could this be?
In a situation where Feng Zhen's death seemed certain, Xiao Tongnan's Blood Demon Saber had actually been blocked by a pebble.
Yes, a pebble. They clearly saw it come to rest on the ground.
Lin Mo and Feng Qingzhu's figures abruptly appeared before the crowd.
"Father!!"
"Qingzhu!!"
Almost simultaneously, Feng Qingzhu and Feng Zheng called out, with tears streaming down their faces.
In the same second, Xiao Tongnan's face grew terribly ugly, filled with astonishment and rage:
"Boy, who are you? How dare you mess with Xiao Tongnan's affairs? Do you have a death wish?"
The look in Lin Mo's eyes was extraordinarily calm, and then, with a face full of indifference, he said, "Your killer!"
The moment those words fell, it was as if a thousand waves and towering tides had been set off.
"Hahaha... Did this brat's brain short-circuit? How dare you speak so audaciously to our Family Head; you truly have gotten bored of living!"
"This is utterly lawless, kneel before our Family Head and repent immediately, or you will die without a place for your corpse."
Hearing these words, the people from the Xiao Family cursed even more incessantly, full of disdain.
In their view, Lin Mo was simply a brash and foolhardy youth, arrogant and extremely brainless.
(Second update; I should be able to do four updates today, although they might be a bit late. I will adjust my condition tomorrow, and should be able to do four or five updates daily from then on. There's no word limit now, and also, dear reader bosses, when writing side characters' inner thoughts or letting characters speak more, some readers think it's all nonsense, while if all the glory is on the protagonist, you say they're all just showing off. I can't please everyone indeed. Also, don't forget the recommendation tickets; they're very important. You must cast them for this book.)
