Chapter 1830: I Gave You a Chance

"Arrogant. If you don't want a weapon, then don't blame me for not giving you a chance." Jin Gui sneered and said sternly, "Watch out."

This guy raised the heavy blade in his hands and attacked with a whoosh; the hundred-plus-pound blade whipped up a gust of wind, truly formidable.

Although the blade in his hands was extremely heavy, it meant absolutely nothing to Chen Yu.

Chen Yu retreated slowly, and the guy's blade missed its mark, but he let out a roar and quickly brandished the heavy blade, pressing in on Chen Yu step by step.

Jin Gui was considered one of the stronger members of the Jin Clan; he wielded the hundred-pound heavy blade as if it were a toy.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—over a dozen strikes in a row, but every single strike remained one centimeter away from Chen Yu's body; no matter how much force he used, he simply could not touch the corner of Chen Yu's clothes.

After dozens of moves, this guy finally couldn't hold on anymore. He propped the heavy blade on the ground and panted heavily, "Kid, if you've got guts... don't dodge."

"Whether I dodge or not is no longer important." Chen Yu shook his head slowly and said leisurely, "With such meager strength, where did you get the courage to challenge me?"

"Go to hell, if you didn't dodge, I could split you in two with one strike," Jin Gui said angrily.

"Jin Gui..." Jin Ling could no longer endure it: "Step down."

"Step down? Heh, this kid can't beat me at all, and you want me to step down and admit defeat now? Jin Ling, what kind of deal do you have with this brat? Otherwise, why would you agree to establish the General Association?"

"Since that's the case, then I won't dodge." Chen Yu smiled slightly: "Make your move."

"What if you dodge?" Jin Gui stared at Chen Yu.

"If I dodge even half a step, I'll count it as my loss, how about that?" Chen Yu smiled.

"Fine, then wait for death." Jin Gui's spirits lifted. He let out a loud shout, grabbed his blade, and leaped up. He held the heavy blade high, let out a roar, and slashed down at Chen Yu's head.

Chen Yu looked up, watching Jin Gui fall from the sky. He smiled slightly and extended his right hand into the void.

He pressed two fingers together and pointed at Jin Gui in the void.

Hum—in an instant, a massive surge of Original Power whistled up and then rippled out in all directions.

Pfft... Jin Gui's body in mid-air stiffened slightly; his eyes widened, and an expression of terror instantly froze on his face.

Immediately after, his body floated high up like a feather without the slightest weight, and then he fell to the ground with a thud.

"Jin Gui..."

Seeing that Jin Gui, who had been arrogant and insufferable just a moment ago, had lost his life—with a bloody hole in his forehead, his eyes wide open, and a look of dying with deep regret—his close clansmen let out an angry roar.

"Kill him." Suddenly, seven or eight people rushed out, raising their blades to fight Chen Yu to the death.

"Stop, Mr. Chen..." Jin Ling stood up abruptly, shouted at her clansmen to back off, and then knelt before Chen Yu with a thud.

She pleaded, "Give me another chance. I guarantee I will convince them this time. I beg Mr. Chen to spare their lives."

"These people don't trust you, and they've been trying every possible way to force you to abdicate. Now you're still pleading for them?" Chen Yu sneered.

"Mr. Chen, they are my clansmen after all; I share the same blood with them. I beg you to give me another chance." Jin Ling's body trembled slightly; she was also terrified to the extreme.

"Fine, then I'll give you one more chance. If you can't convince them, then they must die." The aura on Chen Yu's body slowly dissipated, and he returned to a calm and composed appearance.

"Step down. As Head of Family, I declare that the Jin Family agrees to the establishment of the General Association, and from now on, the Jin Clan will follow Mr. Chen's orders. No one is allowed to disobey."

"Jin Ling, have you gone mad? We have to listen to him? How is this any different from being a dog?" The seven or eight people who rushed out were all young and hot-headed; they would never accept this statement from Jin Ling.

"Execute the order. Anyone who refuses will be expelled from the Jin Clan." Jin Ling hissed, "I am saving your lives. Step down."

"I won't step down." One of them stiffened his neck and roared, "Even if I'm expelled from the Jin Clan, so be it."

"That's right, Jin Ling is siding with an outsider. Let's hack this kid to pieces and force her to step down."

"Brothers, charge..."

A group of people rushed up howling. Jin Ling closed her eyes; she knew these people were finished.

"Stubborn and unyielding, you deserve to be executed." Chen Yu pointed his right hand upward into the void and gave a deep shout.

With a whoosh, a White Sword Circle surrounded the group, and then the sword circle suddenly shrank.

A series of screams rang out. These Jin Clan members were almost all cut in half at the waist by the Sword Qi. Blood filled the entire hall; this scene left everyone stunned.

The ferocity of a Dharma Cultivator made everyone in the Jin Family tremble with fear. Only now did they understand why Wang Ye and Feng Yitang had disappeared so suddenly.

Is this even human? Being able to harvest lives with a mere wave of a hand—how could they possibly contend with a master of this level?

"Forget it. The Jin family has spirit, and I don't want to commit any more slaughter. I'm tired." Chen Yu suddenly felt a bit weary.

He had been killing his way here for the past few days, and he was mentally exhausted. These people would rather die than give up the power in their hands; human nature was exposed completely at this moment.

Of course, he wasn't letting the Jin Family off completely by saying this.

He looked at the scene coldly, his gaze sweeping over everyone present: "I'll give you a chance. Half a day to consider."

"If you have thought it through, have Jin Ling tell me the result. If you haven't thought it through, everyone, including women and children, will die."

Chen Yu beckoned with his right hand, and a surge of Primordial Qi whistled out. A Barrier formed in the surroundings, enclosing the Jin Family mansion within it.

"Think it through. If you don't submit, I will come back in half a day to take all your lives." Chen Yu took a step, his figure shot into the sky, and he vanished without a trace in an instant.

The Jin Family stared blankly at the vanished Chen Yu, then smelled the stench of blood in the air, and for a moment, they were at a loss.

Jin Ling sat on a chair, her eyes unfocused, and then she sighed and said, "I'm tired too. Whoever wants the position of Head of Family can take it."

"Anyway, everyone has at most half a day of life left. If you aren't willing to give up power, then I'll just die together with you all."

"No, don't..." Finally, someone in the room screamed in terror.

"I'll listen, I'll listen to everything you say."

"I don't want to die..."

Human nature was exposed completely at this moment, especially with the harsh words Chen Yu left behind—that women and children would be slaughtered—which scared the wits out of these people.

They cried and begged Jin Ling to go talk to Chen Yu again. In the face of life and death, everyone's dignity and the things they couldn't let go of were all cast aside.

Not long after Chen Yu left, he received news that the entire Jin Clan had surrendered.
