Chapter 377: Chapter 377: A Truly Ruthless Man of Few Words

Ye Feng looked at the black-robed man and said calmly, "The Underworld. They’re the hidden hand behind Long Xiaotian, aren’t they?"

The black-robed man looked at Ye Feng, sneered, and nodded. "You could say that."

Ye Feng continued, "Second question. Ten years ago, the massacre of the Ye family. Was your Underworld involved?"

A sinister smile touched the black-robed man’s lips. "They wouldn’t obediently hand over the item. So, they deserved to die."

Ye Feng’s eyes had turned bloodshot. He took a deep breath, suppressing his rage, and continued to ask, "Last question. My parents... are they in your custody?"

The black-robed man chuckled. "That’s right. They’re in the Underworld." ℯℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Ye Feng’s voice trembled as he asked, "The two of them... are they still alive?"

The black-robed man nodded. "The two old fools are stubborn. Even now, they refuse to reveal the item’s location. So, yes, they’re still alive.

But they’re useless now. Based on the intelligence we’ve gathered, we’re almost certain that the item is on you."

Finishing his explanation, he yawned and said, "I’ve said all I’m going to say. Now, just hand the item over to me!"

Ye Feng looked at the black-robed man and said calmly, "And what if I don’t?"

The black-robed man began to laugh. "If you don’t, not only will you die, but every woman close to you will die right in front of you."

The moment the black-robed man finished speaking, Ye Feng’s body vanished. In the next instant, he appeared like a phantom before the man, his right fist lashing out.

Behind them, Long Xiaotian burst out laughing. "You want to attack Lord Judge? You think you’re worthy? His Lordship could stand there without moving and you wouldn’t be able to touch him..."

Before Long Xiaotian could finish, a deafening BOOM echoed out, followed by the black-robed man’s inhuman shriek.

Long Xiaotian watched, wide-eyed, as Ye Feng’s fist punched straight through the black-robed man’s chest, emerging from his back. Blood dripped from the surface of his fist in a gruesome stream.

Long Xiaotian stared blankly at Ye Feng, his mouth hanging wide open, unable to close it.

’Who was the black-robed man? A great master at Martial Immortal Tier Five! With that level of skill, he was an invincible existence in the entire Great Xia Empire. Even in the Underworld, he could be called an expert. But now, he was slaughtered by Ye Feng in a single move? This... how is this possible?’

The black-robed man looked at Ye Feng, his eyes filled with disbelief. "You... you’ve already reached Martial Immortal Tier Six?"

Ye Feng kicked out. The black-robed man’s body flew sideways, slamming heavily onto the ground. Blood spurted from his chest. He struggled to lift his head, looking at Ye Feng as if to say something, but collapsed limply to the ground and soon stopped moving.

Ye Feng looked down at the black-robed man and said coldly, "If I hadn’t wanted to learn a few things, do you think I would have wasted my breath on you?"

Seeing such ruthlessness from Ye Feng, the hair on Long Xiaotian’s body stood on end. He had always thought himself vicious, but compared to Ye Feng, he was laughably weak.

After a long moment, he finally snapped out of it. He looked at Ye Feng and shrieked, "Fine, you bastard! You dare kill someone from the Underworld? The Underworld will never forgive you!"

Before he could finish, Ye Feng flickered and appeared before him, his right hand reaching for his throat.

Long Xiaotian screamed, trying to dodge, but there was no escape. He could only watch as Ye Feng’s hand clamped around his neck and lifted him off the ground.

Seeing the undisguised killing intent in Ye Feng’s eyes, Long Xiaotian immediately shouted, "Ye Feng, I am Prince Zhenkun! You dare touch me..."

Ye Feng’s grip began to tighten.

Seeing the killing intent in Ye Feng’s eyes grow stronger, Long Xiaotian was finally afraid. He looked at Ye Feng, forced a smile, and yelled, "Imperial Son-in-Law, I’m Xi’Er’s imperial uncle, which makes me your imperial uncle, too! We’re family...

Your Highness, I was wrong before! I apologize! I promise I will never target your family again..."

But before Long Xiaotian could finish, Ye Feng’s right hand clenched abruptly. With a sickening CRUNCH of breaking bones, Long Xiaotian’s neck was snapped.

Long Xiaotian stared at Ye Feng, his eyes filled with disbelief. "You... you..."

Ye Feng looked at Long Xiaotian and spoke coldly, "More than eighty members of my Ye family died because of you. Do you think you deserve to live?

My loved ones have been persecuted by you time and again, nearly losing their lives. What reason do I have to spare you?

If you don’t die, Heaven itself will not allow it."

With that, he violently slammed Long Xiaotian onto the ground.

With a loud THUD, Long Xiaotian’s bones shattered upon impact. He lay there like a pile of mangled flesh, utterly silent.

The steward at the side watched Ye Feng, his eyes full of disbelief. "You... you actually killed Prince Zhenkun! How audacious! How insolent!"

With that, he shouted toward the outside, "Guards! Guards!"

The moment the steward finished speaking, a flurry of footsteps sounded from outside.

The steward looked at Ye Feng and roared in fury, "You’re not getting out of this alive! You’re absolutely finished!"

Beside them, Qin Nuannuan’s face had gone pale with fright. She shrieked at Ye Feng, "Ye Feng, run! Or you won’t be able to get away!"

But just as she finished speaking, a group of people appeared at the doorway.

Qin Nuannuan’s heart sank. ’It’s over. Ye Feng can’t escape even if he wants to.’

The steward looked at the group of people and roared furiously, "This bastard killed Prince Zhenkun! Quickly, kill him! Kill him..."

Before he could finish, Ye Feng’s right hand lashed out in a vicious slap.

CRACK! The force of the blow spun the steward’s head around several times until his face was pointing completely backward.

His body swayed a few times, then collapsed limply to the ground. After a brief twitch, he moved no more.

"So noisy," Ye Feng said coldly.

’Heavens, their men are all here, and you still dare to kill someone? Just how audacious are you?’ Qin Nuannuan was dumbfounded.

Qin Nuannuan’s legs went weak with fear. She looked at the newcomers, wanting to plead for Ye Feng, but her lips trembled, and she couldn’t utter a single word.

But then, Ye Feng looked at the old man leading the group and said coldly, "Dragon Guardian, I’ll have to trouble you. Eliminate every last remnant of Prince Zhenkun’s household. Leave none alive. I will answer to the Father-Emperor."

The old man was none other than the Dragon Guardian who had just arrived, Xuanyuan Cheng.

"Understood." Xuanyuan Cheng acknowledged the order and, leading his men, turned and charged outside.

Soon, a series of blood-curdling screams rang out from outside.

Ye Feng came to the utterly stunned Qin Nuannuan’s side and said softly, "Sister Nuannuan, let’s go."

Qin Nuannuan nodded, but her legs were so weak with fright that her body swayed, and she couldn’t take a single step.

Ye Feng reached out and put an arm around her slender waist, saying gently, "Sister Nuannuan, let me help you."

Qin Nuannuan nodded. Leaning on Ye Feng, the two of them walked outside together.

When she saw the scene outside, the color drained from Qin Nuannuan’s face.
