Chapter 98: Slaughter in Burning Rage

Chapter 98: Chapter 98: Slaughter in Burning Rage

In the end, the baby was stillborn, and the woman was left battered and unconscious.

This scene drove the entire Chu Family mad with fury. They were seething with rage, wanting to take these beasts down with them, but in the eyes of a Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator, they were less than ants.

The family was tortured to death by that Elder.

The Pavilion Master had originally wanted to suppress the news. He even killed quite a few people to silence the nearby commoners.

But who would have thought the Elder himself considered the matter a glorious achievement? He would often boast about it after drinking, and soon, the story spread throughout the entire county.

When Yun Xi heard about this, she fell silent for a long time. Finally, she gritted her teeth and said to Chu Fan, "Chu Fan, we must kill that Pavilion Master and that Elder from the Immortal Gate. No, everyone from the Immortal Gate deserves to die."

"You’re right. Everyone from the Immortal Gate deserves to die. It’s possible their Cultivation Technique itself is an Evil Technique. The so-called Luck Transfer Pearl is just a lie they use to deceive people. I believe they must be absorbing the Innate Qi from the unborn babies for their own use."

Chu Fan’s eyes filled with killing intent as he continued, "Whether it’s some perverse hobby or for some other purpose, these people can no longer be called human. Calling them beasts would be an insult to beasts. They don’t just deserve to die; they should be cast into the Nine Netherworld to suffer the torments of Purgatory for all eternity."

"Tonight, we’ll kill to our hearts’ content. We’ll slaughter every last one of these things that are worse than beasts!" Chu Fan said, drawing his Juntian Sword.

Yun Xi grabbed her own sword and hurried to keep up with Chu Fan.

Meanwhile, at the estate of Ping’an Square’s Pavilion Master, the sounds of stringed and bamboo instruments mingled with the clamor of song and dance.

The Immortal Gate’s Elder, Shan Jiangming, sat at the head seat, accompanied by several other old men. The Pavilion Master, Li Qiao, stood beside them, serving wine from a pot.

Before them, seven heavily pregnant women, dressed in thin clothing, were forced to dance despite their physical discomfort.

They were already exhausted. One of them had even started bleeding, but they didn’t dare stop. They had all heard what happened to the Chu Family.

If they didn’t cooperate, their families would all die.

"Brother Jiang Ming truly knows how to enjoy himself," a white-bearded old man beside the Immortal Gate Elder praised, stroking his beard. "I have seen many dances, but today’s is truly in a class of its own."

Shan Jiangming said, not without a hint of pride, "But of course. Brother Shi, you haven’t yet tried the... flavor of such women, have you? One taste, and I guarantee you’ll be hooked."

Shi Shiyi quickly waved his hands. "You flatter me, Brother Jiang Ming. I still prefer innocent young ladies from good families."

"What a pity. I invited Brother Shi and Brother Wu here today precisely to share this experience with you."

Both Shi Shiyi and Wu Xin waved their hands hastily, exclaiming, "We are not worthy of such a pleasure!"

Seeing this, Shan Jiangming didn’t press them further. He turned to the Pavilion Master. "Master Li, since they prefer innocent young ladies, why don’t you make the arrangements for them?"

Li Qiao quickly replied, "Rest assured, Elder Shan. This humble one will see to it immediately."

With that, he hurriedly backed out.

But before he could even leave the courtyard, the main gate was smashed open by a brutish force. A great spray of blood splattered across his face.

The foul, coppery smell made Li Qiao stagger, nearly sending him to the ground.

Before he could regain his balance, a corpse flew through the air and knocked him to the ground.

"Who dares to act so presumptuously here!" several Immortal Gate disciples in the courtyard yelled, striding forward and shouting at the gate.

At that moment, Chu Fan and Yun Xi, disguised as Bao Zhishuang and Zhu Zishu, walked in with frosty expressions.

Without a word, they attacked. In the instant it took for their swords to strike and return, six Immortal Gate disciples were decapitated.

The sudden killing intent snapped the old men in the main hall to attention.

Amidst the terrified screams of the pregnant women, the five old men walked out of the hall.

Shan Jiangming’s face darkened as he demanded, "Who are you? Do you know who I am? Are you here looking for death?"

Chu Fan swept his gaze over them and asked, "Which one of you is Shan Jiangming?"

"I am!" Shan Jiangming puffed out his chest, speaking with great pride.

Chu Fan nodded and drew his sword.

"A Sword’s Swift Mandate!"

He attacked with his strongest, swiftest sword technique.

’Exchanging even one more word with this creature, who is worse than a beast, would be to debase myself.’

However, Chu Fan had no intention of killing him outright. That would be letting him off too easily.

Seeing Chu Fan attack without a word of warning, the others were enraged. "Insolence!"

Shan Jiangming reacted, his first instinct to counterattack. But when he saw the seemingly ordinary sword technique Chu Fan was using, he was about to sneer in contempt.

But before the sneer could even form, excruciating pain shot through his limbs, choking the sound in his throat and turning it into a bloodcurdling scream.

The other four men lunged at Chu Fan simultaneously.

"You conspire with him, so you all deserve to die!"

"Chaotic Times, Dream of Changing Objects and Shifting Stars!"

With that cry, Chu Fan attacked. The five men—including Shan Jiangming—consisted of three at the Nascent Soul Realm Early Stage and two at the Golden Core Realm Late Stage.

With a single sword strike, the other four had no chance to retaliate. One Nascent Soul Realm and one Golden Core Realm Late Stage cultivator were instantly beheaded.

The other Golden Core Realm Late Stage old man, seeing that the Zhu Zishu Yun Xi was disguised as looked young, turned his attention to her.

Yun Xi was already filled with rage after hearing what these Cultivators had been doing in the county. Now that this man was attacking her, how could she possibly show any mercy?

She attacked with the second form of the Yifeng Sword Technique.

Until the moment of his death, the Golden Core Realm old man never imagined this young person could execute such an unpredictable and divine Sword Technique.

As Yun Xi cut down the Golden Core Realm Late Stage old man, Chu Fan killed Wu Xin.

In just a few moments, the only ones left in the courtyard were the terrified Pavilion Master Li Qiao, Shan Jiangming with his limbs crippled, and the seven pregnant women cowering and trembling in a corner of the main hall.

Watching those old men get slaughtered by Chu Fan and Yun Xi in the blink of an eye, Shan Jiangming was filled with more terror than rage.

"Who... who are you?"

"You are not worthy of speaking to me. The only reason I’ve left you alive until now, instead of killing you on the spot, is so you can witness the destruction of the Immortal Gate with your own eyes." Chu Fan’s words were blunt. With a thrust of his long sword, he shattered the man’s Dantian.

Then he walked over to Li Qiao and said coldly, "You don’t deserve to be called human, either."

Ignoring Li Qiao’s tearful pleas, he ended his life with a single strike of his sword.

Chu Fan and Yun Xi walked toward the pregnant women. Paying no mind to their terror, Chu Fan checked their physical conditions one by one.

One of them was hemorrhaging badly, and the baby in her womb was already dead.

With no other choice, Chu Fan had Yun Xi use her True Qi to stop the bleeding and help stabilize the woman’s body. He then asked another pregnant woman, who was in relatively better condition, to go with Yun Xi and take the injured woman to the nearest clinic.

As for the others, Chu Fan used his True Qi to help regulate their bodies before sending them home.

"Rest assured," he said. "Tonight, all the villainous Cultivators in this city will die. No one will ever trouble you again."

Seeing is believing. Witnessing the scene in this estate with his own eyes, the flames of rage in Chu Fan’s heart burned even hotter.

’I won’t let a single Cultivator currently in this county escape. Even if some of them haven’t committed these evil deeds themselves, they stood by and watched their peers do so without intervening. Don’t they deserve to die too?’
