Chapter 444
The vitality of a Minor Success of Marrow Cleansing martial artist is very tenacious; in an ordinary person, the injuries should have been fatal long ago, but Su Jiangong was still alive.
Seeing his son Su Zhe being grabbed back by Xu Yang, he couldn't help but look ashen: "Spare his life; from now on, he will manage the Su family, and the Su family will obey your orders."
The Su family is not a top-tier family in Qingyang City, but it should be considered a second-tier family approaching first-tier; if such a family obeys Xu Yang...
He couldn't even imagine the benefits; the Su family's assets are at least over one hundred thousand taels.
Money is a small matter; the main thing is the channels to obtain resources—Pure Yang Grass, Tiger Bone Vine, and these things; not to mention having as much as he wants, but supporting his alchemy is absolutely enough.
And things like pill prescriptions are also things he couldn't obtain.
"You really have a good plan; even at the point of death, you want to play tricks with me!" Xu Yang sneered.
If it were someone else, they would absolutely be tempted.
In fact, Xu Yang was also tempted, but he only hesitated for a moment before suppressing his greed.
He absolutely couldn't expose himself; in this world, he hadn't even seen the tip of the iceberg, and exposing himself would only put him in danger.
Having no background but having talent is like a beautiful woman at the bottom of society; in the end, she can only become a plaything.
And the families in Qingyang City have intertwined forces; he killed all the Su family's experts, but could other families sit by and watch him control the Su family?
Major families all like this set of marriage alliances; the Su family has no experts, but what about the Su family's in-laws?
Su Jiangong seems to want to protect his son and the Su family, but in reality, he wants him to wait for him to release Su Zhe, letting Su Zhe use the hands of other families to exterminate him.
"You..." Su Jiangong was instantly desperate.
He didn't expect Xu Yang to be able to resist such a great temptation; it was truly Heaven wanting his Su family to perish, and he couldn't even drag Xu Yang to be buried with him at the point of death.
Xu Yang didn't give Su Jiangong another chance to speak; he pointed a finger from a distance, and a blood hole the size of a thumb appeared on Su Jiangong's forehead.
Su Jiangong widened his eyes, his body twitched unconsciously, and then he had no breath.
"Dad..."
Seeing his father die tragically, Su Zhe's eyes were about to split, crying and shouting.
"If you don't want to die, follow me!"
Xu Yang picked up the corpses of Su Jiangong and Su Jiangong and walked toward the mountain forest.
"Don't even think about it!" Su Zhe said coldly.
He knew that if he entered the mountain forest with Xu Yang, he shouldn't even think about coming back alive.
"Do you want to die now?"
Xu Yang's eyes swept over coldly, releasing a tyrannical pressure; Su Zhe felt as if a great stone was pressing on his chest, his body couldn't stop trembling, and he had to silently follow behind Xu Yang into the mountain forest.
The two walked for a quarter of an hour and came to an open space; Xu Yang put down the two corpses in his hands: "Tell me, what other experts does the Su family have?"
Su Zhe trembled all over, showing a look of disbelief.
He instantly understood that Xu Yang killing his father and second uncle wasn't enough, and he wanted to exterminate the Su family; keeping him was to interrogate him for the Su family's intelligence.
"There are none!" Su Zhe gritted his teeth.
Xu Yang sneered, stepped forward, grabbed one of Su Zhe's fingers, and squeezed hard; only a crack sound was heard, and one of Su Zhe's fingers instantly turned into meat pie.
"Ah..."
The intense pain made Su Zhe's eyes go black, and he couldn't help but scream: "Everything I said is true!"
"Do you think I don't know that the Su family still has old experts?" Xu Yang snorted coldly.
Marrow Cleansing martial artists can generally live for over one hundred years.
Although he had already killed three Marrow Cleansing martial artists of the Su family, they were all people around sixty or seventy years old.
A major clan like the Su family couldn't possibly have no old monsters; the previous generation couldn't have all died.
And he had long been inquiring about the Su family's situation, knowing that the Su family indeed had one old monster who was nearly one hundred years old still alive, but he wasn't sure if this was the only one.
"You had better think clearly before speaking; although I don't know any interrogation methods, I do know how to break your bones one by one."
Saying this, he grabbed another of Su Zhe's fingers.
Su Zhe showed despair, his whole body soaked in cold sweat.
Originally, he had come to interrogate Xu Yang, but he didn't expect that the one being interrogated and tortured was himself.
"Only my third grandfather, Su Xiuyuan, is still alive; there are no other experts," he said in fear.
Just by breaking one finger, his bones had softened, and he begged: "Give me a quick death; what I said this time is true."
He knew Xu Yang wouldn't let him go, so he only asked for a quick death and not to be tortured.
"What is Su Xiuyuan's cultivation base? You had better tell the truth; you should know that with your cultivation base, telling lies in front of me cannot deceive my five senses," Xu Yang said.
This Su Xiuyuan was exactly the old monster of the Su family he had inquired about, rumored to have the cultivation base of Minor Success of Marrow Cleansing.
He had cultivated for a lifetime and hadn't been able to reach Major Success of Marrow Cleansing.
Martial arts, toward the end, isn't something you can advance bravely with resources; talent also cannot be lacking.
In fact, it was impossible for the Su family to have too many hidden experts; if there were really thirty hidden experts, the Su family wouldn't just be a second-tier family in Qingyang City.
"He is Minor Success of Marrow Cleansing!" Su Zhe said, carrying a bit of shame on his face.
Betraying his own clan, he also felt shameful, but the pain of the broken finger outweighed his sense of shame.
"The last question, where is your father's half-spiritual weapon hidden?"
Su Zhe said without hesitation: "It's placed in the main hall!"
Xu Yang's five senses confirmed that Su Zhe wasn't lying, so he slapped Su Zhe on the forehead, giving him a quick death.
Brain matter mixed with bone exploded, half of Su Zhe's head disappeared, and after twitching a few times, he fell straight backward, splashing up smoke and dust.
He began to search the corpses, but the three had come to ambush him and didn't carry any money at all; he didn't even find one hundred taels.
Slapping out with both palms, he blasted the three corpses into meat mud, turned to look in the direction of Qingyang City, and then walked away in large strides.
Late at night, the silver moon hung high!
Su Man sat alone in the courtyard, the table in front of her filled with food and wine, and opposite her empty seat, an empty bowl, chopsticks, and wine cup were placed.
"Chen-lang, rest assured; soon that animal Xu Yang will come down to accompany you," she muttered to herself.
For the past few days, her father, second uncle, and younger brother Su Zhe had all disappeared; she guessed that they should have gone to kill Xu Yang.
Although they didn't tell her, she could guess.
With her father's shrewdness, in the situation where the Su family and Xu Yang had such a deep grudge, it was impossible to let Xu Yang live.
Perhaps Xu Yang was already dead at this moment.
"Father thought I was stupid, not knowing that this is exactly what I wanted," a meaningful smile flashed in Su Man's eyes.
If she hadn't done this, how would the Su family be willing to kill Xu Yang? Although it harmed her younger brother Su Zhe, it was only temporary.
With the Su family's financial resources, after a year or two, they would definitely be able to let Su Zhe reach Marrow Cleansing; by then, even if no one was willing to take him as a disciple, Su Zhe could still enter the inner sect of the Purple Sun Sect.
"Fire!"
Suddenly, an anxious shout rang out in the Su family's large courtyard.
"These trash!"
Su Man's good mood disappeared instantly; she frowned slightly and stood up, only to see fire soaring into the sky in the distance.
Her father, second uncle, and younger brother were all absent; she was just about to move to take a look when a figure like a ghost drifted in from outside the wall.
"Who?"
Su Man shouted lightly, her pupils constricting violently, and her body suddenly retreated backward.
But the ghost-like black shadow was faster, following like a shadow.
Su Man felt her scalp go numb and slapped out without hesitation, the crimson Gang Qi shooting out like a stream of light.
"Bang!"
A large hand, fast as lightning, reached out, blasting the Gang Qi while steadily clasping her snow-white neck.
Su Man's whole body shook, her body stiffened, and she didn't dare to move.
She didn't doubt for a second that the strong and powerful large hand could easily crush her neck.
At the same time, a pair of bright eyes gradually became clear before her eyes.
