Chapter 97: Warning

The dozen or so people who emerged from the Hong family were immediately thrown into chaos; some wailed in grief, while others rushed forward in a panic.

Those few women, seeing the splattered brains and the head smashed into several pieces, fainted dead away on the spot.

"Feng'er..."

Hong Xu walked over, trembling, and crouched down to pick up Hong Feng's corpse. Seeing that Hong Feng was no longer recognizable, his vision went black.

"Senior Brother Xu Yang is actually this fierce; Hong Feng really has been laid out..." Qiu Wenjie felt as if he were in a dream.

It wasn't the pyrrhic victory Xue Fangsheng had described at all, but rather a clean kill of Hong Feng without suffering a single scratch.

"Xu Yang beat Hong Feng, who was at the early stage of Qi Gathering, to death."

Qiu Yongqiang and his brother Qiu Yongjian had their eyes wide open. While filled with disbelief, they were also overcome with excitement; with Hong Feng gone, the Hong family could no longer jump around.

With the reputation Xu Yang had earned from this battle, anyone who wanted to bully the Qiu family in the future would have to think twice.

They had originally thought that Xu Yang coming to stand up for them would at most involve some maneuvering and words, eventually leading the Hong family to back down. They never expected him to directly destroy the trump card of the Hong family's rise, completely eliminating the hidden threat.

"Xu Yang is so ruthless; he actually beat Hong Feng to death directly, not holding back at all."

"He has definitely killed people before, and quite a few at that."

"Senior Brother Xue Fangsheng, it wasn't a mutual defeat at all. Senior Brother Xu Yang didn't even lose a single hair."

The group of inner courtyard disciples from the Weiyuan Hall who had rushed over to watch the battle looked at Xu Yang with completely changed eyes; beneath their surprise lay a trace of awe.

Under the instigation of Lu Ren, Jiang Ping, and others, many people had not taken Xu Yang seriously, even holding him in contempt, not even bothering to greet him when they met.

At this moment, it was completely different. Lu Ren, Jiang Ping, and those people might have had the qualifications to look down on Xu Yang, but they certainly did not.

If anyone else had stepped up, they might not have been able to kill Hong Feng so cleanly and decisively.

"It's a good thing I didn't offend him."

Xue Fangsheng swallowed with difficulty. He didn't feel the sting of a slap to the face, only lingering fear, and he was grateful that when he had tried to frame Zhang Yong and the others back then, Xu Yang hadn't fallen for it.

He wasn't some genius; he had been gathering Qi for a year and a half and had only recently reached the early stage of Qi Gathering. Since Hong Feng was dead, he wouldn't be much stronger than Hong Feng.

"How dare you kill someone?" Hong Xu regained his senses, his eyes bloodshot as he looked at Xu Yang.

I actually wanted to kill all of you to prevent future trouble.

Xu Yang controlled the killing intent in his heart. If he had really done that, even if the government office didn't pursue it, the Tiger Roar Fist Hall wouldn't sit idly by.

In a normal duel, if he beat Hong Feng to death, the Tiger Roar Fist Hall wouldn't care, but if he won and then killed the whole family, the Tiger Roar Fist Hall wouldn't be able to ignore it even if they wanted to. ===== CHAPTER 98 =====
