Chapter 1772: One Move to Defeat the Enemy

Chen Yu's body was wreathed in brilliant light; in this instant, he had directly broken through to the Peeping God Realm.

"You... you are in the Peeping God Realm?" Yagyu Heiichi's voice was hoarse. "The head of our Liehun Hall is also at this realm."

"If I told you that although my strength is Peeping God, I have the power to slay those in the Profound Void, would you believe me?" Chen Yu smiled slightly and withdrew the sword in his hand.

Yagyu Heiichi's life was rapidly fading away; he could no longer maintain his body upright in mid-air. His body stiffened, and then he plummeted downward rapidly...

Below, everyone in the Songyi Family looked agitated. Listening to the commotion outside and feeling the pressure from above, they speculated one after another whether Chen Yu was dead yet.

"Master Yagyu has not fought for over seventy years," one of the elders from the Elder Council muttered. "I only saw him once when I was a child. With him protecting our family, our Songyi Family has flourished for a long time without decline."

"But that person called Chen Yu is no pushover either," someone raised a doubt.

"Shut up! Master Yagyu is the best in the world; how could that brat compare to him?"

Songyi Chi stood before the many members of the Elder Council; his heart was also filled with panic. Although Yagyu Heiichi's strength was great, he had also heard rumors about Chen Yu.

Especially with the Beiwu Family unconditionally standing on Chen Yu's side, this made him even more panicked.

The Beiwu Family were not fools. If they dared to fall out with his Songyi Family just to support Chen Yu, it meant that Chen Yu truly possessed some extraordinary qualities.

Suddenly, a thunderclap flashed in mid-air, and expressions of joy appeared on everyone's faces: "Alright, it's over. Old Master Yagyu Heiichi has won."

"Wahahaha, that little brat from Huaxia is truly overestimating his own capabilities."

"Master Yagyu is our eternal god; we will remember him forever."

The room instantly erupted; everyone cheered and applauded, believing that Yagyu Heiichi must have won.

Suddenly, with a loud boom, a large hole was smashed into their roof. A figure fell from above like a withered leaf and slammed into the ground with a thud.

A sound of panic and confusion instantly erupted in the room. Everyone scrambled to flee and hide, and it took a long time for it to quiet down.

After a long while, the scene finally quieted down. These people then gathered the courage to walk forward, wanting to see what kind of miserable state this fellow who dared to provoke their Old Master Yagyu was in.

But when they drew near, they couldn't help but freeze, because they saw that the person who had fallen from high above was none other than Yagyu Heiichi, whom they worshipped as a god in their hearts. Now, Yagyu Heiichi's white hair was incredibly disheveled, and there were several bloody holes in his body.

His eyes were wide open, but he had long since breathed his last.

The faith in their hearts, the greatest reliance of the Songyi Family, Yagyu Heiichi, had actually died just like that?

Once everyone came over, they all scattered in a panic. They wanted to escape; no one was a fool. Since their greatest reliance, Yagyu Heiichi, was dead, then what Chen Yu would do next was to slaughter everyone in their Songyi Family. If they didn't run now, it would be too late when Chen Yu's butcher knife came down.

However, a surge of Primordial Qi whistled out, locking the hall tightly.

Those who ran fast and had already touched the doors were violently bounced back. They cried and scrambled to get up, continuing to pound on the doors, yet what awaited them was being knocked flying once again.

"Yagyu Heiichi is dead... he is dead. Songyi Shuo, you must take responsibility for everything. You can die, your whole family can die, but the roots of the Songyi Family must be preserved!" In the chaos, an Elder shouted hysterically at Songyi Shuo.

This bastard... he really had driven the family to total annihilation. If the clansmen were scattered outside, the bloodline would certainly be preserved, but now that Songyi Shuo had gathered all the clansmen together, what awaited them would be a catastrophic disaster.

Songyi Shuo lay on the ground, crawling in terror under a table. Yagyu Heiichi was dead, and he was panicked too. He did not know what he would face next, but he feared death; his instinct was to hide.

"Where do you think you are hiding?" the Elder roared. "If you don't die, everyone will die, everyone will die! Men, seize Songyi Shuo's entire family and cut off their heads..."

A group of death-sworn warriors rushed up and grabbed Songyi Shuo, as well as Songyi Shuo's wife, his parents, and his young son who was not yet ten years old.

There was no such thing as family affection in a great family; in an instant, several heads fell to the ground...

When Chen Yu stepped inside, he was surprised to see a row of heads laid out before him.

Among them were several children's heads. These were Songyi Shuo's family and blood relatives, which made Chen Yu somewhat astonished. He looked up: "What is the situation here? Can anyone explain this to me?"

"Mr. Chen, I am Songyi Xingchao, the current acting patriarch of the Songyi Family." An elder from the Elder Council walked out respectfully and bowed deeply to Chen Yu.

"So, you are the person in charge now?" Chen Yu glanced at Songyi Xingchao and then pointed at the heads before him: "What is this about?"

"These are all Songyi Shuo's relatives and collateral kin. I know it was he who offended Mr. Chen, so I specifically had all his family members' heads cut off, hoping to obtain Mr. Chen's forgiveness through this. Furthermore, Songyi Shuo has been restrained by us; Mr. Chen can deal with him personally."

Songyi Xingchao waved his hand, and someone immediately brought Songyi Shuo up.

The current Songyi Shuo had long since lost his previous arrogance. His complexion was ashen, and his two eyes were like those of a dead fish, devoid of any vitality.

He was now in despair, because his closest kin had all died before him; he had no desire to live on.

"You did this, wanting to exchange it for my forgiveness?" Chen Yu guessed the intention of these fellows.

"Yes, Mr. Chen. Our Songyi Family has always faced history squarely. We are repenting in secret, and we feel deeply sorry for the events of that year," Songyi Xingchao said with some trepidation. "So please, Mr. Chen, give us another chance no matter what. We will certainly seize this opportunity well, I guarantee it."

"Heh, your guarantee isn't even worth a fart to me," Chen Yu sneered. "Do you think that by doing this, I will agree to let the others go? How truly naive."

"Mr. Chen, we have come with full sincerity. These matters were all stirred up by Songyi Shuo alone, and our family has paid a huge price for this. I beg you to please show mercy." Songyi Xingchao was almost about to kneel.
