Chapter 720

However, just as he walked out of the gate, he saw Zhao Xing standing in front of the door.

His brows furrowed.

"Why are you here!"

Just after his voice fell.

A cold light flashed in Zhao Xing's eyes.

Then, he slapped out.

His speed was incomparably fast.

With just one slap, Qi Hao flew out and fell to the ground.

He vomited blood.

A look of anger appeared in his eyes.

However, just at this moment, Zhao Qing's figure walked over.

Looking at Qi Hao, he shouted coldly: "Bastard, what are you doing!"

At this moment, Qi Hao was completely stunned.

Didn't his father tell him to go to the living room?

Why did he slap him instead?

And Zhao Qing did not pay attention to him.

He walked straight into the hall and waited for Zhao Qing to enter.

After he entered the hall, he slapped the other side's cheek again.

As the sound rang out, Qi Hao was completely shocked this time.

He asked in disbelief.

"Father, why did you hit your son!"

However, just at this moment, a fierce look appeared on Zhao Qing's face.

"Hmph, why did I hit you? Have you forgotten?

You actually gave away those spiritual herbs, these were a full 3 million top-grade god crystals, I must report this matter to the Sect Master!"

Zhao Xing said sinisterly.

It caused Qi Hao’s expression to change drastically.

This was his last resort to turn things around.

If he were truly reported by his father, he would be finished.

Thinking of this, he shouted hurriedly.

“Father, I was wrong, please forgive me!”

And just at this moment.

Zhao Xing’s voice sounded once again.

“Hmph, it’s too late. Since you were wrong, you must pay the price!”

Following that, he reached out his palm.

Blazing Qi gathered, as if transforming into a tornado.

It caused Qi Hao to turn pale with fright.

However, at this moment, he had no way to dodge and could only let himself be killed on the spot.

After seeing such a scene, Zhao Xing said slowly.

“Hmph, I can no longer count on Qi Hao in this life; we had better rely on ourselves!”

As the voice sounded, his entire figure dissipated from where he stood.

And at this time, Qi Hao was already dead.

Not only was his body shattered.

Even his soul was annihilated.

As for Liu Zheng on the other side, after finishing refining the elixir.

He also fell into silence.

These days of effort had caused his cultivation base to stabilize.

Moreover, he was getting closer and closer to the second level of Emperor Venerable.

On this day, just after Zhao Xing finished cultivating.

He spoke to the system.

“System, I am ready to improve my cultivation!”

Upon hearing the voice, the system’s voice sounded.

“Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining one Emperor Monarch first-level realm card. Do you wish to use it?”

After the voice fell, Zhao Xing did not hesitate and used it directly.

Instantly, a massive amount of energy surged all around.

His cultivation base improved to the second level of Emperor Monarch in an instant.

And at the same time, the system’s cold voice sounded again.

“Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining a fragment of the Heaven Expansion Secret Art!”

Zhao Xing, upon hearing the voice, revealed a look of surprise in his eyes; this was the second technique he had obtained.

Following that, he unleashed it without hesitation.

In an instant, his entire body was enveloped by dazzling golden light.

A moment later, when Zhao Xing opened his eyes again.

A sharp glint flashed in his eyes, displaying powerful combat strength.

And at the same time, a middle-aged man walked into the great hall.

He said to Zhao Qing.

“Lord, the Great Elder has arrived!”

“Mm, let him in!”

After Zhao Xing’s voice fell, the middle-aged man retreated.

A moment later, the Great Elder walked in.

Just as he stepped into the hall, he spoke respectfully.

“Greetings, Lord; greetings, Supreme Elder!”

“You may rise!”

Zhao Xing said indifferently.

And following his command.

The Great Elder stood up, the smile on his face becoming even richer.

“Lord, I wonder what business you have with your subordinate?”

Although Zhao Xing was the head of the Zhao family, his strength was not high within the entire sect.

And this Great Elder was a patron of the Zhao family.

His status was incomparably noble.

Now that the other party was looking for him, it made him feel flattered.

However, just after his words fell.

Zhao Xing’s voice sounded instantly.

“Great Elder, my son has caused trouble in the last few days.

Do you think you could be accommodating and let him go?”

“Haha, you must understand my relationship with the Qi family.

This kid has offended the Qi family, and I am in a difficult position as well.

How about this: tomorrow, have him bring some items and go to the City Lord’s Mansion to beg for forgiveness.

If the people of the Qi family are willing to forgive him, I will spare him.

Otherwise, even if you beg me, I cannot save him!”

After the voice fell, he turned around, preparing to leave.

“Great Elder, how can that be? Qi Hao is the heir of the Qi family.

If he goes to the City Lord’s Mansion to beg for forgiveness because of me, where would the Qi family’s face be?

I ask you to show mercy.

I will go wake him up right now and have him kowtow to you to apologize!”

At this moment, Zhao Xing could not care about all that.

He spoke immediately.

Then, ignoring the surprised expressions of the crowd.

He dragged Qi Hao and walked out of the courtyard.

At this moment, the other party revealed a look of bitterness in his eyes.

But he dared not resist.

After all, he was still under the other party’s control.

Just after walking out of the courtyard, Qi Hao knelt outside.

“Father, I know I was wrong; please spare me this once.

I will never act foolishly again in the future!”

His voice was filled with pleading.

However, just after his words fell.

Zhao Xing showed no intention of showing mercy.

He swung his palm.

This once-arrogant young master was blasted into powder.

And the members of the Qi family, upon seeing this scene, all trembled.

Especially Qi Hao, who was filled with extreme fear.

This heir of the Qi family was dead; who would be next...

“Hao’er, your father has already spoken today.

Tomorrow, you are to go to the City Lord’s Mansion to beg for forgiveness; are you willing to go?”

Zhao Xing’s voice sounded, his eyes revealing a cold intent.

He was determined to cut the weeds and eliminate the roots.

“I... am willing!”

Qi Hao’s trembling voice came out.

But at this moment, he no longer had his former arrogant appearance.

“Good, then go back and prepare now; remember, do not cause trouble.

If Qi Hao is not dead, you don’t need to come back either!”

Zhao Xing’s cold voice came out.

“Yes, Father!”

Qi Hao dared not show the slightest negligence.

He retreated immediately.

And just at this moment, a violent crashing sound came from Zhao Xin’s room.

Following that, the bed was directly overturned.

A graceful figure walked out from within.

It was none other than Zhao Xin.

At this moment, her face was flushed with shame.

Tears rolled down from her eyes.

She had not expected her father to be so ruthless.

Originally, she thought that she had served the family wholeheartedly all these years; even if there was no credit, there was at least hard work.

Now it seemed it was all in vain.

Just as Zhao Xin was stunned, a sharp pain suddenly came from her chest.

Looking down, she saw a dagger plunged into her chest.

Blood flowed out, and her lips turned deathly pale.

“Father, why? Why would you do this!”

Her voice carried a shrill tone.

“Hmph, I am doing this for your own good.

You are not suitable for him; he is not worthy of having you!”

2.4

After the words fell.

A sword was slashed out.

Zhao Xin’s head flew off, and she died in the courtyard.

And just after Zhao Xin fell.

The Great Elder also pushed the door and entered.

Upon seeing such a situation, he could not help but frown.

Then he shouted.

“Why did you kill your own daughter? You are truly insane!”

Zhao Xing’s eyes were about to split, and he roared.

“Haha, what does it matter if I sacrifice for the family? You have seen it; the future of our Zhao family is in my hands.

Once I become a sect elder, even if you are all unconvinced, it will be of no use. It is all worth it; I, Zhao Xing, am destined to rise to greatness!”

His voice was filled with madness.

Following that, he walked toward the distance.

However, just after he had walked not far.

His footsteps paused, his figure collapsed to the ground, and his aura dissipated.

And the Great Elder looked at the scene, dumbfounded.
