Chapter 347: Chapter 347: Furious!
Because he knows very well that he cannot often stay by Zhu Baixiâs side now, and with Zhu Baixiâs current status, many people will inevitably covet her beauty and assets. If heâs not ruthless, thereâs no way to deter those wolves!
Zhu Baixi frowned, full of worry, "This Heng Zhongtian has the Tang Family behind him; they arranged for him to come here, definitely intending for him to establish a foothold."
"If we offend him, wonât we also offend the Tang Family?"
"Chen Xiao, perhaps we should try to make peace with him to avoid big trouble."
She feared that Chen Xiao might get involved because of her.
After all, the Tang Family is the foremost of the Capital Cityâs Five Great Families, with unfathomable resources!
No matter how powerful Chen Xiao might be, it would be difficult for him to stand against such a colossal force alone!
Chen Xiaoâs tone was indifferent yet cold, "So what if itâs the Tang Family? If I want him dead, the Tang Family canât save him. I hope he has the sense to castrate himself and come to me like a dog, otherwise, I donât mind letting this three-day tyrant lose his head."
Everyone in the Jiang Family was speechless! That Heng Zhongtian, at least, is a super strong Peak Hua Realm martial artist, so how could he be spoken of as disposable trash by Chen Xiao?
They are now extremely curious whether Chen Xiao really possesses such strength.
Where does his confidence come from?
Could it be that he is confident enough to contend with Peak Hua Realm super fighters?
ââ
On the other side.
Seven or eight of the Four Seas Association survivors, disheveled and wearing lingerie, came scrambling in.
Their embarrassing appearance made everyone present twitch their gazes and lips.
Especially Heng Zhongtian, sitting at the head, receiving everyoneâs praise, narrowed his eyes as a cold light flashed when he saw them.
Now, in Jinling, his Four Seas Association is undisputedly the top power, and every action of its members represents his face.
These guys being so disgraceful and humiliating also makes him, the president of the Four Seas Association, lose face!
He heavily placed the teacup on the table, demanding coldly, "Whatâs going on?!"
"President, these guys seem to be the ones who went to deliver a message to the Jiang Family with Vice Chairman Zeng," a subordinate quickly reminded.
Heng Zhongtianâs face grew even grimmer, and he roughly guessed what had happened.
"It seems like Zhu Baixi doesnât want to give me face? Is this messy state because of that woman from the Jiang Family?"
"And where is Vice Chairman Zeng? Didnât I ask him to deliver the message himself! Could it be that he pushed the responsibility onto you and shirked it himself?"
He was very displeased, as now is precisely when the Four Seas Association needs to establish dominance, and these members were toyed with and humiliated by the Jiang Family! How could he maintain his reputation if this got out?
If this is Zeng Longâs negligence, he will not be lenient!
"President, Vice Chairman Zeng... heâs already dead!" a man spoke shakily.
The room suddenly plunged into silence.
Everyone wore expressions of disbelief!
Zeng Long, after all, was the vice chairman of the Four Seas Association, Heng Zhongtianâs right-hand man, and with his Late-stage Hua Realm cultivation, he could practically roam Jinling unchallenged!
And yet, heâs dead?
Heng Zhongtianâs head buzzed. After all, Zeng Long had followed him for many years, and suddenly hearing of his death was a reality he couldnât immediately accept!
He slammed the table and stood, "Even if that guy is weak, as a Late-stage Hua Realm martial artist, he shouldnât have any opponents in Jinling; how could he just die like that?!"
"Tell me immediately what happened!"
"That woman Zhu Baixi, she somehow found a young lover to back her up. This young man is extremely powerful; he beheaded Vice Chairman Zeng with one sword stroke and went on a killing spree at the scene! Even many from the Jiang Family were slain by him!"
Upon hearing this, Heng Zhongtianâs eyes burst with a cold light as his lips pursed, "A young man?"
Could there be a young man who could kill Zeng Long with a single sword?
His power shouldnât be weak!
"What is the origin of this young man?" he asked solemnly.
"We donât know." A few people shook their heads like rattles, "But the Jiang Family people referred to him as Mr. Chen!"
His surname is Chen?!
Heng Zhongtian quickly racked his brain, trying to search for any outstanding young person with the surname Chen that he knew.
He has served the Tang Family for twenty to thirty years, and can be considered knowledgeable, having some understanding of top young fighters, but he had never heard of a young talent named Chen!
When it comes to the top talents among the young generation in the Divine Land...
The Tang Familyâs Young Master Tang, Tang Hengdao, ranks in the first sequence.
At not yet thirty, he has already achieved much and is one of the Seven War Kings of the current War Department, deemed the most promising to be titled War God before the age of thirty in the Divine Land for a century!
Another one is from the Dragon Soul Sect, Leng Baiyu, who also rose to fame at a young age, achieving the half-step Grandmaster realm, and is now a mainstay of the Dragon Soul!
Beneath them are other talents like Jin Zilong and Situ Feng.
Other individuals are either not worthy of notice or are over thirty and canât be called young.
Thus, it can be concluded that this young Chen who killed Zeng Long is just an unknown brat!
Heng Zhongtian snorted coldly, "Seems like a slightly skilled but arrogant young fool, just an unknown brat, yet he dares to attack my people! Heâs simply courting death!"
Who doesnât know that Heng Zhongtian is a peak Hua Realm strongman?
Who doesnât know that the Tang Family is behind him?
Daring to provoke Heng Zhongtian at this critical momentâisnât that an act of madness?
Heng Zhongtianâs chest heaved violently, and only after some time did he suppress his fury.
Then, another subordinate lowered his head and trembled as he said, "President, that boy also asked us to relay a message to you."
Hearing this, Heng Zhongtian coldly said, "Speak! Word for word, tell me, I want to see what kind of nonsense this reckless brat has to say!"
Upon hearing this, the subordinate quickly replied, "He... he said, let the president castrate himself today, then run naked to the Jiang Family wearing lingerie."
"In that case, he could spare you, or else he would take your head!"
These words made Heng Zhongtianâs eyebrows rise, his restrained fury no longer controllable.
In a fit of rage, he slapped the subordinate on the head!
That subordinateâs head exploded on the spot!
The other kneeling subordinates trembled, their bodies shaking uncontrollably.
They looked at the subordinate whose head was now like tofu, feeling a bit of pity in their hearts. This fool relayed the message word for word... who else would die if not him?
"President, calm your anger!"
"President, itâs not worth getting so worked up over such a young punk!"
"..."
Seeing Heng Zhongtianâs rage, others quickly tried to soothe his emotions.
Heng Zhongtian laughed in anger, "Itâs Zhu Baixiâs honor that Iâd offer her a way out, but who would have thought sheâd dare to have her boy toy kill my right-hand man?"
"That boy toy dares to be so arrogant, asking me Heng Zhongtian to castrate myself as an apology? I, Heng Zhongtian, must see how capable he is to dare to challenge me so arrogantly!"
He waved a big sleeve, his voice coldly resonating, "Spread the word, let Zhu Baixi bring that boy to me to be dealt with, then let her kneel and lick my feet at tonightâs celebration banquet before Jinling Cityâs elite and nobility, and I might spare her life!"
"Otherwise, that boy must die, and so will she!"
