The night was dark and the wind was high, perfect for murder.
Sun family manor.
Chirr chirr~
Sounds of air being sliced through emerged, the weakest of which were at the Half-step War God realm. In an instant, no less than ten people perished, blood splattering and screams piercing the night sky.
"Who's there!"
"An ambush! It's an enemy attack!!"
The Sun family was, after all, a first-rate noble family in the imperial capital, and their vigilance was high. Choosing to launch a surprise attack at this time suggested that even if it wasn't related to the Zhao family, it was undeniably tied to them.
"Quick, send a signal to the patriarch immediately!!"
"Everyone, follow me to repel the enemy~~"
A War God realm expert stationed at the Sun family manor, his expression grave, for he saw three enemies whose auras were no less than his own, and the Sun family expert had spotted three War Gods.
That's right.
There were indeed three War God realm powerhouses, and one of them gave him an extreme sense of danger. That person was none other than Hyuga Saki, the captain of the second division of the Sakura Society.
"Oh?"
"I didn't expect the Sun family to have a War God expert guarding it. It seems we've caught a big fish this time."
The captain of the third division looked at the Sun family expert before him with a playful sneer, his face filled with disdain. This person's strength was equal to his own, yet there were three of them. The death of this person was only a matter of time.
"Sakura mark?"
The Sun family expert was clearly well-traveled, his brows furrowed in deep thought. "You are... people from the Sakura Society!!"
"You actually know of us?"
Hyuga Saki heard the Sun family expert's words, and a chilling arc formed on his lips. "Since that's the case, then die."
Boom~
Before the Sun family expert could react, his chest was pierced by Hyuga Saki. A dagger was withdrawn, still stained with hot blood. "You... How is this possible!!"
"I originally intended to deal with Sun Tian Ce, what a pity to use it on a mere War God."
Hyuga Saki glanced at the Sun family expert. "It is your honor to die by my Poison Dragon Strike."
Okada Honichi and the captain of the third division exchanged glances. War God peak. They clearly hadn't expected Hyuga Saki to have already entered the War God peak realm.
Whoosh~
Snap!!
Just then, the Sun family's distress signal flare was successfully launched, blooming into a brilliant firework in the night sky.
Hyuga Saki saw the brilliant fireworks, and a smile curved on his lips. "Since Sun Tian Ce is not here, that's all the better. Let's finish this in three minutes!"
"Yes, Lord Hyuga!!"
Immediately, over a hundred experts above the Half-step War God realm transformed into over a hundred reapers, beginning a great slaughter of the Sun family manor. With an irresistible force, in less than three minutes, all five hundred members of the Sun family were annihilated, their methods utterly ruthless.
"However, there is still a great gift."
Hyuga Saki's lips curled into a sinister grin. "Come, place the Zhao family experts we killed earlier and their identity tokens in various locations. I believe both the Sun and Zhao families will be satisfied with this great gift."
"Heh heh, you are indeed brilliant, Hyuga-kun."
"Sun Tian Ce will surely be enraged when he sees this scene, and in his rage, the Sun and Zhao families will surely go to war again. At that time, the imperial capital of China will be in chaos, and we can then take advantage of the weakness to weaken China..."
The captain of the third division said with a sinister smile, then looked towards the Zhao family's direction. "Hyuga-kun, Okada-kun, Sun Tian Ce is likely rushing here. I think it's time to retreat."
"Very well."
Hyuga Saki and Okada Honichi exchanged glances, and with a flash, they disappeared from the scene. The captain of the third division, seeing this, smiled chillingly. "The four great families of the imperial capital of China are nothing more than this."
As the words fell, the captain of the third division also flashed away from the scene, and then all the members of the Sakura Society departed.
Not long after the Sakura Society members left, Sun Tian Ce arrived with his men. They had seen the manor's distress signal earlier and rushed here immediately, yet the overwhelming scent of blood still turned their faces ashen.
Whoosh~
Figures appeared in the scene. These people were none other than Sun Tian Ce and his son, Sun Xuan Ming.
Boom!!!
The scene of blood flowing like a river instantly left the minds of the father and son blank. They coughed out a mouthful of bright red blood. With the exception of the experts from the Zhao family manor and the Imperial Dragon Club, all the remaining members of the Sun family had perished, including men, women, old, and young.
"How... how could this be!?"
The numerous experts of the Sun family had ashen faces. At this moment, a Sun family expert, his eyes bloodshot, rushed forward. "Patriarch, esteemed elder, all five hundred plus members of the family have been killed. Furthermore, Zhao family experts were found at the scene, including one Zhao family War God level dark guard, and many others!"
"Zhao family!!!"
"Bastards, what ruthless methods!!!"
Sun Xuan Ming's face contorted with rage, veins bulging on his forehead. His son was among those killed here. The revenge for his son's death, the hatred for the annihilation of his clan!
Sun Tian Ce, spitting out a mouthful of blood, instantly seemed ten years older. The Sun family's centuries-old foundation was destroyed in his hands. How could he face the ancestors of the Sun family with any dignity?
The overwhelming stench of blood, so thick it was nauseating, was the blood of the Sun family's closest kin, and the future of the Sun family.
The wind howled bleakly, and the entire scene was silent, save for the pervasive stench of blood.
One second!
Five seconds! Ten seconds!!
Sun Tian Ce clenched his fists, an unprecedented, towering killing intent erupting from him. His eyes also turned blood red, "Zhao family!!"
"Good!! Very good!!!"
Just as Hyuga Saki had predicted, even if there were some doubts, under his rage, Xiao Tian Ce believed that even if the Zhao family was not directly responsible, they were undeniably involved.
Previously, due to the Song family, their relationship with the Zhao family had deteriorated, and the Zhao family's desire to destroy them had never ceased.
Old grudges and new hatred!
Sun Tian Ce finally made up his mind. He took a deep breath, looked at the blood-drenched Sun family manor, and declared, "The vengeance for the annihilation of our clan shall not be borne in the same sky!!"
"Even if I have to sacrifice this life, I will make the Zhao family pay their blood debt with blood."
A dense killing intent shot straight into the sky. At this moment, the night seemed to be dispersed by the killing intent. Then, Sun Tian Ce, leading a group of Sun family experts, charged ferociously towards the Zhao family manor.
