Chapter 16
Family Extermination
“Plap…”
“Ouch, what the… Who, who!”
A bucket of cold water was poured over Zhang Hu’s head, instantly jolting him awake.
He couldn’t help but feel furious. Who was so wicked as to disturb someone’s sleep in the middle of the night?
“Uh…Lord Su.” Rubbing his eyes, Zhang Hu’s aura dissipated when he saw the person at the door.
Did something happen again? Zhang Hu couldn’t help but think of the scene in the prison cell.
“Wake everyone up. Go to the door and lock the person lying on the ground in the cell. Then gather in the courtyard and wait for me.” Su Yang instructed and turned to leave.
Zhang Hu stood up and rubbed his head, ” Why do I always fall asleep every time something happens?”
“Get up…Get up… They were still sleeping soundly even though something had happened.”
As buckets of water were poured down, the soldiers who had been knocked out by the poisonous smoke woke up one by one. Zhang Hu brought his men to the entrance of the courtyard. When he saw the four of them, he couldn’t help but gasp and widen his eyes.
“Li Qingyun, Li Pingshan…And their master!
In his early years, he had seen their disciple recruitment ceremony, so he naturally knew their identities.
“This is a sixth-grade martial artist and cultivator…” Zhang Hu was extremely shocked.
Su Yang being able to deal with a seventh-grade was already beyond his expectations. Now, he could even easily deal with a sixth-grade…
There were not many traces of a fight at all. Judging from the situation at the scene, it was definitely a one-sided suppression.
How strong was their Divine Weapon Master?
“Take him away…Lock them all in the cells.”
…
In the courtyard, all the soldiers of Spring Breeze Wind had gathered.
“Do you know what happened tonight?”
“Yes!”
“Very good. Those who murder officials of the Imperial Court will have their families confiscated and their entire clans exterminated. Are you all willing to follow me to the Li family?”
Su Yang’s words made the scene silent, and they were stunned on the spot. It was too sudden and violent, making them unable to react in time.
“I’m willing to listen to your orders!” Zhang Hu was the first to react, followed by the rest of the soldiers.
“Good! Move out immediately!” Su Yang waved his hand and walked in front, and hundreds of soldiers followed behind.
Each of them stood tall and straight, like a sword that had been unsheathed. These soldiers who had been abandoned in the past finally had some indomitable momentum now.
“Surround the Li Mansion.”
Hurried footsteps could be heard on the street. A fire dragon quickly spread out and covered the entire Li Mansion, and all the escape routes were blocked.
“Bang!”
The door of the Li Residence was kicked open, and the two guards with sleepy eyes were taken down before they could understand what was going on.
“Li Qingyun and Li Pingshan have been arrested for murdering an official of the imperial court. According to the laws of Da Xia, the Li family will be exterminated. Those who resist will be killed without mercy!”
Zhang Hu took the lead, and Su Yang followed behind unhurriedly. However, the moment he entered the Li family, the soaring sword intent emerged from his body, and the entire Li family was already wrapped in the sword intent. When the escapees came into contact with the sword intent, they would naturally feel the terror of it.
The Li family was indeed the number one clan in Pingshan City. The defense force was sufficient, and the Li family guards quickly appeared.
“Everyone, what is the meaning of this?”
The leader of the guards, eighth-grade martial artist Li Yunsheng, blocked the way with his sword. Behind him were dozens of guards.
Zhang Hu was not afraid at all. He scoffed.” Li Qingyun, Li Pingshan murdered Lord Su and has been captured. The Li family should be exterminated. Are you going to stop him?”
Li Yunsheng’s heart skipped a beat. This was a serious crime. However, if they retreated just like that… he would also face severe consequences.
“What evidence do you have?”
“My words are evidence. Do you think I’ll just spout nonsense?”
“I’ll ask again. Are you going to let me go or not?”
Zhang Hu’s voice sank, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Li Yunsheng was only a servant of the Li family. If they really wanted to confiscate and exterminate the family, it would not fall on him. Judging from the current situation, the Martial Suppression Squad was serious. Li Yunsheng waved his hand and had the guards retreat to the side with him.
Zhang Hu quickly rushed inside.
This time, there were quite a lot of people who needed to be captured, and they could not delay.
The most important targets were Li Yijiang, the head of the Li family, and his three wives. Then there were Li Yijiang’s two younger brothers and their wives, as well as their descendants.
Without the guards to stop them, Zhang Hu and his men rushed in. However, he was soon stopped by the Li family’s loyal followers.
A group of loyal disciples that the Li family had nurtured since young charged out from the inner court. All of them had a cultivation base of the ninth grade.
Zhang Hu thought that it would take some time. However, after a few sword intents descended from the sky and instantly killed this group of loyalists, he understood that they would not have anything to do tonight. They would only have to deal with some miscellaneous matters.
Zhang Hu couldn’t help but look back when he ordered the guards to arrest him. He saw Su Yang strolling behind them. It was only a matter of time before he killed the enemy.
At this time, Zhang Hu could also clearly sense Su Yang’s terror. However, the more terrifying it was, the more confident he would be as a subordinate.
“Charge in! Don’t let anyone escape!”
Soon, all the members of the Li family were captured.
Finally, Su Yang came to Li Yijiang. He stayed in his courtyard and did not escape.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to, but as a seventh-grade martial artist, he had long felt the sword intent that enveloped the entire Li family. He also knew that there was nowhere to retreat and escape.
“You’ve been waiting for my other two sons to come back, right?”Li Yijiang stared at Su Yang and said his speculation.
In the courtyard, Zhang Hu led his soldiers and surrounded them.
Su Yang was at the front.
“Yes.”
Although he had already guessed it, Li Yijiang was still so angry that he wanted to vomit blood when he heard the answer.
“When dealing with an enemy, we must eliminate the root of the problem. When dealing with evil people, we must eliminate all of them. You were a villain from the beginning. From the moment I attacked, you became my enemy.”
“Tell me, can I not exterminate them all?”
Su Yang spoke slowly. He was calm and ruthless, making people’s hair and bones turn cold.
“Have I ever offended you? Or did my Li family offend you?” Li Yijiang seemed to have accepted his fate and asked unwillingly.
“I only want to seek justice for the people.”
After Su Yang finished speaking, the sword intent in the sky fell, destroying Li Yijiang’s limbs and dantian.
“Hahaha, what a good way to seek justice for the people. You won’t succeed. In the end, you’ll only perish in the face of a greater evil.”
“The people may need someone like you, but people like you don’t live long!”
