Chapter 151: Tai Xu's First Appearance
Feng Yun's expression was solemn, the blue sword energy fiercely slashed down, carrying a strong momentum, heavily chopping onto Gui Ling's body. The thunderous sound reverberated throughout the room, and the airflow directly blew away the tiles of this room.
This sudden change made everyone in the Ming family hear clearly, and suddenly various figures burst out of many houses. The wind was dark and cried out that it was not good, the strength of the Ming family was not weak, even if it was only on the surface, the old man called Hong Shu had the power of the Seventh Heaven, which was far beyond his own ability to resist.
Fēng Huán made a decisive move, dispersing the blue sword energy. With a movement of his body, he vanished from the spot, invisible to the naked eye. The art of concealment and speed have different wonders, but they are distinctly different; concealment is purely about hiding one's presence, while speed is about swift movement.
After Feng Huan hid himself in the fourth stage of Xiantian, he didn't leave in a hurry. He was very confident in his own hiding skills and thought that even a strong seventh-stage Xiantian cultivator might not be able to detect him. However, Feng Huan had apparently forgotten that he was discovered as soon as he arrived here.
Feng Lin just hid, and the assassination spirit shot again from a distance, not knowing the direction because of Feng Lin's hiding. This time, Feng Lin really changed color, if his own hiding was useless, he couldn't escape from here!
As he thought of this, Feng Lin's sword energy suddenly struck and sent Yu Ling flying. His body flashed and left its original position, but a sense of crisis appeared again in Feng Lin's mind. Feng Lin's body paused, turned to one side, his arm hurt, and a blood stain appeared on Feng Lin's shoulder.
Blood splattered in mid-air, Feng Lin's stealth was rendered ineffective. His body was hidden, but the blood betrayed him. At this moment, Hong Shu and two other elderly men also appeared in mid-air, one at the seventh rank and two at the sixth rank. The three elderly men unleashed their full strength, and the powerful aura compressed the surrounding sky to a thickness that seemed almost palpable.
Feng Huan, surrounded by three people in the center, suddenly felt a huge mountain pressing down on himself, almost crushing him to the ground. It made Feng Huan break out in cold sweat, and he immediately withdrew his hiding technique. Just as he was about to speak, his throat suddenly hurt.
Feng Huan's eyes were wide with incredulity, his hands clutching at his throat as if trying to stem the flow of blood, but it was no use. His throat had been torn apart and blood was gushing out in a mad torrent. Feng Huan didn't last long before he collapsed to the ground.
This sudden change, even Hong Shu and the other two old men were also stunned, their faces revealing shocked expressions. What was that thing that silently and quietly killed the four-stage strongman right under their noses?
What if that thing attacked itself? The consequences are unthinkable, and the three of them were shocked, scanning their surroundings in all directions to see who that thing was, but none of them found anything. That thing only killed the four-stage man for an instant, allowing the three old men to feel a slight fluctuation, and then they couldn't feel anything anymore.
The surroundings were in disarray, with scattered tiles and wooden debris all over the ground, but these things were clearly not what the old man was concerned about. At this time, more people had gathered, and Mingyue and Mudo had also rushed over early.
They found that only one person had died, and both of them let out a sigh of relief. This person was not Ye Chen, which made the two people's hearts feel more at ease. Looking at the three old men with unusual expressions in the sky, Mingyue asked inexplicably: "What's wrong, Hong Shu, who is this person?"
Hong Shu glanced at the other two old men and said, "It's nothing, just a small thief who has been killed. Everyone can disperse now." He then waved his hand to let the crowd that had gathered to watch go away.
Hong Shu's influence in the Ming family was still considerable, and with a wave of his hand, everyone except Mingyue dispersed. Even Mu Dao knew that they had something to discuss, and as an outsider, it would be inconvenient for him to stay. He nodded at Ye Chen and left.
Ye Chen also wanted to leave, but was stopped by Hong Shu. This man appeared in Ye Chen's room. This man and Ye Chen were absolutely related, but what kind of relationship they had, these few people didn't know.
In fact, there was another reason why Ye Chen stayed behind. At that time, only the three of them and Ye Chen were present. The three old men all knew each other's abilities inside out, and everyone knew what kind of moves the others had. None of the three had a move that could evade the Heavenly Eye of the Seventh Stage of the Innate Realm, nor would they be unable to sense it!
If someone had such a move, they would have been far superior in strength long ago, and even when facing the Fusion Realm, it would be possible, so the three people's suspicious object was only Ye Chen. Although several people did not believe that Ye Chen's congenital second-order realm could have such a powerful move.
Ye Chen faced the inquiries of Hong Shu and the other two elderly men, spreading his hands, "I don't know this man either, it's my first time seeing him today. He barged into my room and tried to attack me. If not for Yu Ling, I'm afraid I would have been seriously injured or even killed!" Ye Chen's voice grew colder as he spoke.
"Was the final blow dealt by you?" one of the elderly men asked solemnly, his expression stern. The old men didn't care who this man was or whether Ye recognized him or not; without that last blow, perhaps they would have still been concerned, but now their concern had shifted to that final blow.
"Didn't you guys send it out?" Ye Chen looked at Hong Shu and others with a puzzled expression, his face full of surprise, making Hong Shu and others doubt whether they had made a mistake, exchanging suspicious glances.
"Uh... this...". The old man who was questioning Ye Chen stuttered, unsure of how to begin. Although he had previously denied it was Ye Chen who made the move, the old man knew that the strike wasn't from any of the elderly men present either.
Facing Ye Chen's counter-question, the old man didn't know how to respond. Mingyue looked bewildered, unsure what these people were talking about - what final blow? What you emitted, I emitted, leaving Mingyue utterly perplexed.
It was like seeing Mingyue's reaction, Hong Shu recounted the previous events in detail, and only then did Mingyue realize that the three elderly men had not made a move, but had simply released their aura, rendering Feng Luan unable to move, and his throat was silently cut by something invisible.
"What?!" Mingyue exclaimed, how could there be such a move, it's too terrifying, being able to silently kill these four-stage powerhouses, then how easy would it be to kill herself?!
Three old men nodded solemnly at the same time. Mingyue's reaction was within the old men's expectations. This thing that could harm oneself, who wouldn't be terrified?
Mingyue finally returned home as the master of the house, although she had been a bit out of sorts earlier, but in an instant she gathered up that look of surprise.
"Do you know who it is?" Although her complexion had returned to normal, that threat still made Mingyue feel somewhat unnatural.
"I don't know! Maybe it's a peerless expert who doesn't bother to interact with people like us, or maybe it's just a weapon... not necessarily..." Red Shu slowly analyzed the possible situations, getting more and more far-fetched as he spoke, leaving the person who started it all listening in amazement at how many possibilities he could come up with.
"Take your time, don't rush. If they wanted to kill us, they would have done so already. Besides, the person they killed was a thief who came to our mansion to steal. Clearly, that strong person is on our side." Hong Shu analyzed.
