Zhang, Feng was shocked after hearing that. " What! How come Zhao family and Ye Family decided to attack all of a sudden? "exclaimed Zhang Feng. Zhang Feng hurried out to check the situation. As he came to the main building of the Xiao family he saw the surroundings lit with fire. Men were fighting with each other. The sound of Swords and Knives rang through the night into the ears of Zhang Feng. " Hurry up! Take the younger ones to safety and escape! We don't have much time! The old Patriarch has already fallen! Now Patriarch Xiao Chen is buying time for the younger ones to escape!", yelled an elder. Zhang Feng gazed ahead and saw Uncle Xiao fighting with two men. Those two men were likely to be Patriarch Ye and Patriarch Zhao.
Boom! By the heavy punching of Patriarch Zhao, Xiao Chen was thrown to the ground with a loud bang. " Give up Xiao Chen! None of your family members will be spared today! It has been a long time since Xiao Family was in power in Blue leaf county. Now it's time to change the ownership", sneered Ye Patriarch. " If it weren't that you two old bastards ambushed me, I swear on my Xiao Family ancestors that I would have made you farts suffer! "said Xiao Chen while gritting his teeth. " Hehe, did you still expect us to play fair? It seems like you still don't know us well after all these years" joked Zhao Patriarch. "You! Shameless!" growled Xiao Chen. "Do you have any last words to say, Old Xiao? After all, we have been living in the same city for quite a long time", mocked Zhao Patriarch. " Do you think my Xiao family is so easy to fall? As long as I have a breath I will make you assholes pay for your sins! " yelled Xiao Chen. Just as Xiao Chen said that a huge momentum gushed out of his body. Xiao Chen had condensed 8 True qi so he was in the 8th state of the True Qi realm. But the momentum gushing out from his body showed the 10th True Qi realm. The ruddy, pale face of Xiao Chen turned rosy. "Let's see who dies today you old farts! Even if I die I will take you both with me to the Yellow River! Haha! Let's go to hell together!" Said Xiao Chen madly. Both the Patriarchs faces turned pale with fright. They said, " You-..... Old Xiao don't be unreasonable! You may die by burning blood. Your Martial arts path will be ruined." "Does it look like I care anymore? You two guys forced my old man to do this! Now get ready to die! " Xiao Chen's eyes showed madness as he charged towards them.
"Ancestor! Save us! " yelled Ye family patriarch. A terrifying breath erupted and Xiao Chen's attack got dissolved like it was dust. An old man came into the view of the crowd. He had a hunched back and long beard and held a stick in his hand. "Ye! Family! Ancestor! " gritted Xiao Chen with hatred. "Your old fart is still alive! I thought you had died in the hands of my Xiao family ancestor!"
"Hehe, brat! Dare to disrespect this old man! Aren't your guts quite big! Now let the old man send you on the way. " as Ye family ancestor said this a huge breath was released from his body. " 11th True Qi realm! How come you are in Peak True Qi realm?" said Xiao Chen with disbelief. However, Xiao Chen's eyes showed a firm look and he yelled, " Xiao Family! As a patriarch I have failed you guys today! But I am a proud member of the Xiao Family! I won't let the face of my ancestors fall today! Fight to the death! " "Patriarch! " several members of the Xiao family cried with tears glistening in their eyes and then they too yelled, "We are proud to be a part of Xiao Family! Follow the Patriarch! Glory in death!" " Wind Tiger Claw!" yelled Xiao Chen as he displayed the Martial art of the Xiao Family. A pair of claws ripped through the air in the direction of Ye Family ancestor. "Hehe, small tricks!", sneered Ye family ancestor as he gently patted the pair of claws coming towards him. Boom! A big explosion sounded as the two attacks collided with each other. A huge dust cloud was formed and after the dust settled the crowd saw the result. Xiao Chen was forced to retreat 10 steps while Ye family ancestor's body lightly swayed in the wind. "Is this the end of our Xiao Family?" several elders eyes showed despair as they spoke. "Are the younger ones evacuated?", asked one elder to a servant who just came. " Yes Elder! The younger ones have already left safely" replied the servant. Just then both Ye and Zhao family Patriarch sneered and said, "Do you think that we will let them escape? We have already asked the Fire Wind Mercenary group to block their escape!" " What! You- Don't be too much! At least spare the younger ones" begged one elder. " Why should we spare them? So that they could grow up and take revenge? When we need to solve a problem, we need to solve it by its root. Jie, jie, I think that they have already been sent to the road by this time!" sneered Ye family Patriarch. "You beasts! We will never end with you!" an elder screamed as he madly attacked Ye family patriarch. "Life or death! ", all the elders attacked with full vigor. However, these elders only had the cultivation of a maximum of 5 True Qi realm. Knowing that they weren't the match of Ye and Zhao Patriarch, who had a cultivation of 9 True Qi realm, they self detonated near them, hoping to cause a serious injury to the Patriarchs.
Xiao Chen's eyes became bloodshot as he witnessed those elders dying in front of him. After playing multiple rounds against Ye Ancestor, the effect of burning blood had started to fade. He knew that he couldn't hold on anymore. Taking the advantage of the situation Ye Ancestor attacked Xiao Chen with full force. Xiao Chen got blasted like a Cannonball and flew through several walls before finally stopping. He got up weakly and saw Zhang Feng, who was standing like he was petrified. " Xiaofeng! What are you doing here? Run away now! You must run away before those bastards catch you! Even though we aren't related by blood, I still love you as my real son. I can't bear to see you fall here ", cried Xiao Chen weakly. Zhang Feng ignored his words and ran up to him and said " No! Uncle Xiao I won't leave you alone! I can't do that! You are going to be alright! We will escape together!" said Zhang Chen with distress. For the first time in his life, Zhang Feng blamed himself for being weak, incompetent and pathetic. Even though he couldn't cultivate and had a waste physique, he never got depressed about it. He always kept trying. But today, seeing his Uncle Xiao on the verge of death, he hated himself for being weak. He clenched his fists so tight that his nails pierced into his skin and started bleeding. "No! I can't run now. My body is exhausted after burning the blood. I have depleted all my potential. My martial arts path is basically over", sighed Uncle Xiao. "Ahhh, Sigh.... A... A-Are you bleeding Xiaofeng? How did you get hurt? You shouldn't have come here. Your body is already weak, what if you got caught in the crossfire? " said Uncle Xiao distressedly after seeing Zhang Feng's wound on hand. Zhang Feng's heart felt a piercing pain after hearing those lines. Tears started streaming down his face. Even in such a situation, his Uncle Xiao gave him priority. Zhang Feng noticed Xiao Chen's breath getting weaker by the second. During the fight between the 2 Patriarchs and Ye ancestor, he had suffered fatal injuries. "Uncle Xiao! Wait! I will carry you. Let's escape together" panicked Zhang Feng.
Xiao Chen stopped Zhang Feng's actions and held his hand tightly. He looked directly into the eyes of Zhang Feng and said "Run. Promise me that you will survive." Zhang Feng knew in his heart that his Uncle Xiao was dying. But he couldn't accept it. " No Uncle Xiao! Please don't leave me! You were the only person who truly loved me. Even when my parents abandoned me for being a waste, you didn't! So please don't give up on me today! I need you! You were the ray of light in my life full of dark clouds." " Xiao Chen got stunned after hearing Zhang Feng. He Widened his eyes and glanced at Zhang Feng whose face was covered with tears and whispered weakly, " You knew?" Zhang Feng nodded silently. " I hope that you will forgive your parents Xiaofeng. I hope that you won't hate them. Promise me." " I have already severed ties with them the day they chose to abandon me. They are strangers to me." said Zhang Feng. Xiao Chen sighed bitterly as he heard Zhang Feng say. " Now go and live well my son. "said Xiao Chen and stopped breathing. His eyes were locked onto Zhang Feng's face as if he was trying to engrave his image in his mind. But somehow he looked at peace. " Uncle Xiao! " screamed Zhang Feng loudly. His voice attracted the attention of both the Patriarchs and Ye ancestor. " Who's this kid? "asked Zhao family patriarch. A soldier hurriedly replied, " Patriarch, that's the adopted waste son of Xiao Chen. He can't cultivate." " Hehe, as expected of Xiao Chen. His life choices are as shitty as his ending. I disdain to kill such a waste. You, go and finish that waste", said Zhao patriarch as he pointed to a guy and left with Ye Patriarch and Ancestor. "Right away, Patriarch. " replied the soldier.
"Boy, let me do you a favour by sending you down the road", mocked the soldier. Zhang Feng hurriedly picked up Uncle Xiao's body and ran away with it. " Brat, where are you running? " sneered the soldier. Zhang Feng hurried down the building and quietly went to a secret escape route used in case of emergencies. The door to the secret route was well hidden and even if Ye or Zhao patriarch were both here, it would take them a certain amount of time to find it. The route was beneath the staircase and had a passcode that only the elders and important people of the Xiao family knew. Uncle Xiao had told him one day that the passcode of the door is the date of the day when Uncle Xiao adopted him. Zhang Feng followed the route carrying Uncle Xiao's body and eventually the road lead to the forest of Blue leaf county. Zhang Feng's arms were aching from pain after carrying Uncle Xiao's body. But never once thought of dumping the body and running away. He had decided to At least give Uncle Xiao a proper resting place. The whole team tears were pouring out of his eyes but those eyes revealed a firm look.
After walking for what seemed like forever, Zhang Feng realised that he was deep in the woods. He had heard that there were animals of power peak True Qi State deep into the woods. Suddenly, Zhang Feng's foot gave up. His body was tired of running and was exhausted. Zhang Feng's body was rolling on the ground as his vision turned black. When he woke up he first checked Uncle Xiao's body. After seeing it lying a few feet away from him, Zhang Feng sighed in relief. He then scanned his surroundings and found that the place he was was extremely beautiful. It had a gentle waterfall, a clear river, plenty of flowers, green, wet grass and vines. It was simply a paradise.
"Am I dreaming? Is this heaven? No...there is really such a magical place." exclaimed Zhang Feng. Zhang Feng decided to bury Uncle Xiao here. He found a suitable corner and dug a grave. He then made a simple coffin and placed Uncle Xiao there. He also found a flat stone and wrote on it " Here lies Xiao Chen " and decorated it with some flowers. After burying Uncle Xiao properly, Zhang Feng looked at the grave blankly for a few minutes. He then stood up and went out in search of food. The entrance to the Paradise was covered with hundreds of vines and it was basically impossible to guess for someone of True Qi realm that there was such a place here. Zhang Feng decided to search for edible plants as he couldn't hunt animals.
