Tang Geng's thoughts were still clear, and he was the first to walk up to Han Lang, urging him with concern.
"No, Han Lang. If you do this, the entire cultivator world will not let you go. Vengeance has its source, and debts have their owner. If you slaughter innocent members of the Zhao family, even Commander Song probably won't be able to protect you!"
Han Lang flung Tang Geng's hand away.
"My mind is made up! Whoever stands against me today, I will kill! Tang Geng, you don't need to concern yourself with this matter anymore. The subsequent problems, I will resolve myself!"
Tang Qin had also intended to persuade Han Lang, but upon hearing his words, she swallowed them back deep into her throat.
In such a situation, let alone Han Lang, even he himself might not be able to hold back.
In contrast, Ma Long and Han Kang both stood behind Han Lang, supporting him.
"Brother! I will bear it with you!"
"Young Master, I will face this with you!"
Even Tang Haoran stepped forward.
"This matter is life and death! Brother Han, I, Tang Haoran, support you with the entire Tang family!"
Hearing Tang Haoran's words, Tang Qin and Tang Geng became even more flustered.
"Dad! Why are you also so irrational? Shouldn't you be persuading Han Lang not to do such a foolish thing? We cannot bear the consequences of slaughtering an entire immortal cultivation family!"
"That's right, Uncle Tang! If you do this, the Tang family will not support you!"
Tang Haoran, upon hearing their words, immediately waved his hand.
"You don't need to say any more. The grudges of Old Cao Tou and Brother Zhong Yi must be avenged! Even if I am forever expelled from the family, I, Tang Haoran, will not hesitate! In life, there are things one can do, and things one cannot!"
Hearing Tang Haoran's words, Han Lang felt a surge of emotion.
This elder brother, who had provided him with boundless help from the very beginning, was still standing by his side at this moment.
Such camaraderie was truly a testament to heaven and earth!
Seeing that Tang Haoran's mind was made up, Tang Qin also gritted her teeth.
"Fine! If that's the case, I accept what happens today. Han Lang, tell me, what do you want to do!"
Han Lang's rage had reached its peak. He glared at all the Zhao family members present, gritting his teeth as he commanded.
"All of you, listen to my orders! Immediately slay all the Zhao family members present, especially Zhao Wei! If anyone obstructs, no matter who it is, kill them without mercy!"
"At the same time, Ma Long, after concluding everything here, you will immediately lead your team to root out all nine branches of the Zhao family. We must not leave any potential future troubles!"
Upon receiving the order, everyone immediately drew their weapons and moved closer to the Zhao family, ready to strike.
At this point, the entire Zhao family finally began to feel fear.
They had only intended to engage in a verbal spat, never expecting to have truly angered the formidable god of war that was Han Lang.
Just then, Zhao Wu once again stood before everyone.
His gaze was firm, and he glared at Ma Long and the others, shouting loudly.
"I'd like to see who dares! If you want to harm my Zhao family today, you'll have to step over me, Zhao Wu, first!"
Tang Qin and Ma Long hesitated upon seeing this, turning to look at Han Lang.
Han Lang's expression was impassive, and he immediately said to them.
"Zhao Wu and I have severed our ties. If he kills us today, it is not forgetting kindness, and if I kill him, it is not betraying righteousness. Why are you still hesitating?"
With Han Lang's words, Ma Long did not hesitate any longer and immediately lunged at Zhao Wu with a punch.
"Boom!"
With a resounding clash, the prelude to brothers turning against each other was drawn!
Ma Long's strength was already inferior to Zhao Wu's, and after a few exchanges, he began to show signs of retreating.
He urgently shouted at Tang Qin.
"Tang Qin, why are you still hesitating? Don't you know Zhao Wu's strength? Come and help!"
Tang Qin gritted her teeth and joined the fray.
The reason Han Lang did not directly intervene was primarily because he still held a sliver of hope for Zhao Wu in his heart.
However, since Zhao Wu had decided to stand on the opposing side, Han Lang naturally saw no reason to stop Ma Long and Tang Qin.
After hundreds of exchanges, both Zhao Wu and Ma Long and Tang Qin were greatly depleted.
They each took a spirit replenishment pill, preparing to continue the fight.
It was at this moment that Tang Geng suddenly shouted.
"Zhao Wu! Do you still have any shame? At this moment, you still have the nerve to take the spirit replenishment pill that Han Lang gave you!"
Zhao Wu was ashamed, but he still replied.
"I have no choice. I cannot just stand by and watch them slaughter my entire Zhao family!"
Tang Geng, upon hearing this, deliberately feigned great anger.
"You are truly shameless! I will face you!"
Tang Geng's intention was not to truly become an enemy of Zhao Wu.
He even knew that Han Lang did not truly want to kill Zhao Wu.
However, if Zhao Wu continued to stubbornly shield the Zhao family, given Han Lang's current rage, he would certainly not be able to back down.
Therefore, in order to save Zhao Wu, and also to prevent Han Lang from sinking deeper into the wrong path, Tang Geng decided to intervene.
At the very least, by defeating Zhao Wu to the point where he could no longer resist, there would still be room for negotiation!
The flying sword darted forward.
Zhao Wu was greatly alarmed.
If he could still somewhat resist Ma Long and Tang Qin with his strength, then with Tang Geng joining, he had no chance of winning.
Before long, he once again showed signs of exhaustion.
Seizing the opportunity when Zhao Wu intended to take another spirit replenishment pill, Tang Geng rushed forward, embraced him, and whispered in his ear.
"Stop being foolish! Do you think you can resist Han Lang on your own?"
"Even if I can't resist, I can't just stand by and do nothing! Those are my closest kin!"
Tang Geng was somewhat speechless.
"Don't be foolish! Haven't you noticed that Han Lang hasn't made a move yet? Do you really want to completely fall out with him and have him kill you with his own hands? Think about it, once you two completely confront each other, will there still be room for negotiation in the aftermath?"
Tang Geng's words awakened Zhao Wu.
Yes!
Han Lang clearly knew that his strength was superior to Ma Long and Tang Qin.
Yet, he had only sent them to confront him.
Did this not indicate that he still had room for negotiation in his heart?
If he continued like this and completely cornered Han Lang, then things would truly have no room for a turning point!
"Thank you, Tang Geng!"
Zhao Wu, having come to his senses, said a slight thank you to Tang Geng.
He also abandoned his intention to take another spirit replenishment pill.
He put away his weapon, raised his hands.
"I won't fight anymore! We were the closest comrades. I don't want to reach that point with you. Boss, I still say the same thing: as long as you spare my Zhao family, I, Zhao Wu, will serve you like an ox or a horse from now on!"
Hearing these words, Han Lang became even angrier for some reason.
He suddenly moved, and his fist fiercely struck Zhao Wu's abdomen.
"Do you think I'm doing all this so you can serve me like an ox or a horse?"
Zhao Wu clutched his abdomen.
He didn't know what he needed to do at this moment to satisfy Han Lang.
So he continued to say.
"I am willing to accept any price. Boss, can you give our Zhao family a chance?"
Han Lang ignored him and directly said to Ma Long and Tang Qin.
"Don't worry about it. Kill Zhao Wei for me. As for Zhao Wu, I will handle him myself!"
