Ling Fan’s eyes were deep and distant, as if they could peer directly into Ji Hong’s soul.
Ji Hong suddenly looked up, meeting Ling Fan’s gaze.
His lips parted, emitting a sound that was utterly inhuman.
Dry and hoarse, like a wild beast grinding its teeth.
“Kill… kill them all!”
“Alright, the Ji family members are all here. Deal with them yourself!”
Ling Fan nodded indifferently.
He flicked his finger.
A Hunyuan Pill dropped into Ji Hong’s hand.
Ji Hong didn’t even look at what it was. Instead, if it was given by Ling Fan, he never doubted it.
He threw his head back and swallowed the pill.
Under the effect of the Hunyuan Pill, the power within his body rapidly recovered.
“Damn it!”
Hearing the conversation between Ling Fan and Ji Hong, Ji Xian, Ji Tianzong, Ji De, and others from the Ji family were utterly terrified.
Ji Hong was about to deal with them!
They quickly tried to escape.
They had witnessed the strength of this brat firsthand. Even Mo Shan, who was at the Quasi-Heavenly Origin realm, had died by his hand, let alone the three of them who were mere nobodies.
“Damn it, that brat surnamed Ling is truly despicable, bringing up sensitive topics! He actually dared to sow discord and instigate that brat Ji Hong to kill us…”
“Ji Hong is also a beast who has forgotten his ancestors, actually listening to the instigation of that damned Ling!”
Ji Xian gritted his teeth and said indignantly.
“Father, scold him less and focus on escaping first,” Ji Tianzong said anxiously.
“Escape!”
The three immediately prepared to flee, but a figure flashed in front of them.
Liu Han blocked their path.
“Trying to leave? Stay put!”
Soon, Ji Hong’s strength had recovered partially.
Swish.
His eyes turned red, and he suddenly turned his head, staring intently at Ji Xian, Ji De, and Ji Tianzong in the VIP section in the distance.
Then, he walked towards the three of them, step by step.
The three, under Ji Hong’s gaze filled with endless hatred, felt as if they had plunged into an ice cellar.
A chill shot from the soles of their feet straight to the crown of their heads.
With every step Ji Hong took, with every step he got closer to them, their pressure increased.
When Ji Hong was within ten paces of them.
Ji Tianzong was the first to buckle under the pressure.
With a thud, he knelt down before Ji Hong.
Weeping and begging, “Cousin! Cousin! Wake up, I am your cousin Tianzong! We are family, you can’t listen to outsiders and kill us.”
Ji Hong did not stop.
The hatred in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest.
“Why… why… do this to me…”
“Why! Why!”
He uttered these three words.
He questioned them in a low voice.
His words were almost dripping with blood.
This low growl terrified Ji Tianzong to the point of near collapse. He kowtowed like pounding garlic, saying, “I… we… Cousin, please let me go! I am the young master of the Ji family, the future head of the Ji family. If you kill me, you will be destroying the future of the Ji family. You also have the blood of the Ji family flowing in you! Don’t you want to see the Ji family fall into ruin!”
Beside him, Ji De forced a smile, but the smile was more unsightly than crying.
He said, “Little Hong, I am your third uncle, do you remember? I used to hold you when you were young! We did wrong things before, but we had no choice.”
As he spoke, Ji De nudged Ji Xian with his elbow: “Big brother, you should say something to persuade him too.”
Ji Xian quickly added, “Your third uncle is right! We were also forced into it. You don’t know how difficult our Ji family was before you returned. We had no money, no strong cultivators, so we could only rely on you to help us earn money. Everything we did was actually for the good of this Ji family! Please understand us.”
At this moment, Ji Hong had already reached within three paces of them.
As Ji Xian spoke, he lunged at Ji Hong’s feet, disregarding any semblance of dignity. He shook Ji Hong’s leg and said, “Little Hong, please forgive us this time, your eldest uncle apologizes to you, alright!”
“Un… forgivable…”
Ji Hong shook his head.
“Then die! You little beast!”
Ji Xian’s expression suddenly turned cold, and his body erupted violently.
His late-stage Profound Gang realm strength was fully unleashed. He didn’t believe that at such close range, Ji Hong, who had only recovered two or three parts of his strength, could escape his sneak attack!
Ji Hong’s body bent backward strangely, evading Ji Xian’s despicable sneak attack.
Then, he grabbed out with his palm.
With a squelch.
He easily tore open Ji Xian’s chest, pulling out a bloody heart.
“Heart… black!”
*Puff*
Ji Hong exerted force, crushing the heart into a bloody mist.
Ji Xian’s eyes widened as he fell to the ground, dead.
“You beast, you’ve rebelled!”
Ji De was shocked, enraged, and fearful.
However, he couldn’t muster any courage to attack.
He turned to flee.
But Ji Hong’s movements were incredibly agile and swift. He caught up in a few steps, kicked Ji De to the ground, stepped on his back, and smashed down with a fist, shattering Ji De’s head like a watermelon.
Ji Tianzong next to them was so terrified that he couldn’t move. His body trembled like a sieve, and a stream of yellowish liquid flowed from between his legs, emitting a foul odor.
Ji Hong looked deeply at Ji Tianzong.
From several paces away.
He unleashed a punch, and the rolling qi and blood, like a scarlet ribbon, directly caused Ji Tianzong to evaporate on the spot…
“Well killed!”
Liu Han clenched his fist and waved it forcefully.
He felt a surge of satisfaction in his heart.
Scum like the Ji family, who had lost all conscience and were selfish, deserved to die ten thousand times over.
Ji Yan’s expression was somewhat complex.
After all, she was a woman and had some compassion.
However, she did not stop Ji Hong.
“The Ji family truly played a good hand into a mess.”
“Who wouldn’t say so! They clearly had a monstrous genius like Ji Hong, yet the Ji family didn’t cultivate him properly, only seeking immediate gain. Not only did they harm Ji Hong, but they also harmed the Ji family in turn…”
“There’s a reason why the Ji family has fallen to this state. It can only be said that everything is their own fault, they brought it upon themselves.”
The powerful figures in the underground world in the gambling arena were discussing amongst themselves.
“If you ask me, the most crucial person is this Ling Qingyun!”
“Who would have thought that Ji Hong had such a terrifying existence behind him.”
“I heard that this Ling Qingyun is also a Profound rank weapon refiner.”
“No way! A Profound rank weapon refiner this young? With tens of millions of people in the entire Tianchu Province, there are only two Profound rank weapon refiners, right?”
Upon hearing that Ling Fan was also a Profound rank weapon refiner, everyone was stunned speechless.
“Comparing oneself to others leads to death! Such monstrous strength is one thing, but he’s also a Profound rank weapon refiner!”
“Who is such a monstrous figure? Could he be one of the super geniuses from Liuyun Kingdom?”
“Hey, do you think the Dark Martial Hall Master dares to kill a Profound rank weapon refiner? After all, the status of a Profound rank weapon refiner is comparable to a Martial Grandmaster!”
Someone asked curiously.
By now, the Dark Martial Hall Master was probably on his way.
If the Dark Martial Hall Master knew that this grey-haired youth was a Profound rank weapon refiner, would he be hesitant?
“What are you thinking! You killed his son, even if you were the son of the Emperor, he would still kill you for revenge.”
Someone sneered.
“That’s true! The hatred for killing one’s child is irreconcilable, how can it be so easily resolved?”
