The entire Qin family erupted in fury.
The expression of the Qin family's ancestor darkened, and his voice dripped with hostility. "Master Gu, while you may be young, don't let arrogance cloud your judgment. The world of martial arts is not as simple as you think. My Qin family has a long-standing foundation."
He continued, "We should remember that harmony brings wealth. If we truly wish to quarrel, it may bring harm to both sides."
Gu Qingfeng scoffed, "It's not my youth that's the issue; it's your age. There's no such thing as harmony in the underworld—only those with the biggest fists get to set the rules!"
With a hearty laugh, he stepped forward, his blood surging like billowing smoke. "Fists represent power! And my fists are strong enough to dictate the rules of the martial world!"
"I've already given your Qin family a chance. Since you've squandered it, there's no reason for the Qin family to continue existing."
As his words fell, he threw a punch. A powerful force shattered the air, sending a thunderous shockwave that changed the expression of the Qin family's ancestor drastically.
"How dare you, you insolent brat!!"
Fury surged within the old man as he drew upon his remaining strength. His once withered skin became plump, revealing the power within.
He brought his fingers together, launching a technique as swift as lightning—the Qin family's Meteor Piercing Clouds.
But as Gu Qingfeng's punch landed, a cracking sound echoed. The finger shadows shattered, and pain contorted the ancestor's face; his fingers twisted grotesquely, the phalanges broken.
In contrast, Gu Qingfeng's fist bore only minor marks, unscathed by the encounter.
He advanced again, unleashing both palms in a powerful strike. The force radiated an intense heat, overwhelming the Qin family's ancestor with dread.
Though he wanted to plead for mercy, it was too late. The ancestor braced himself to withstand the assault, but—
Boom!
The impact sent him hurtling back, crashing into several Qin disciples, who fell with broken bones, dying instantly without a sound.
As the Qin family ancestor hit the ground, blood spilled from his mouth, yet he uttered no cry.
The sequence of events unfolded in mere moments. By the time anyone realized what had transpired, the Qin family's ancestor lay lifeless.
Shock rippled through the onlookers.
The ancestor had been a renowned figure, feared and respected for years. Yet here he lay, vanquished in an instant by Gu Qingfeng.
The sheer might of Gu Qingfeng left everyone astounded, particularly those from the Four Seas Gang, who now felt an overwhelming gratitude for their allegiance to the Gu family.
They breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that had they opposed such a formidable opponent, the consequences would have been dire.
Meanwhile, grief and terror washed over the remaining Qin family members. With their only Blood Refining warrior dead, it was clear they were no match for the Gu family's strength.
As Qin Hongtang opened his mouth to express surrender, Gu Qingfeng raised his hand, issuing a chilling command: "Kill them. Leave no one from the Qin family alive today!"
At his words, Meng Peng swiftly led the Gu family guards to attack the Qin family.
Murong Xiu and the other newly allied forces followed suit, determined not to falter.
Qin Hongtang's eyes blazed with anger. "Gu Qingfeng, do you really intend to slaughter my entire family?"
"I've already extended a chance. I, Gu Qingfeng, mean what I say. Today, I will eradicate the Qin family!"
With an indifferent expression, Gu Qingfeng stepped forward, closing the distance to within ten feet of Qin Hongtang. He struck with a palm, eliciting a sudden shift in the patriarch's demeanor.
Bang!
Despite his efforts to resist, Qin Hongtang, merely at the late stage of Blood Refining, found himself struck dead before he could even scream.
With the patriarch dispatched, Gu Qingfeng continued his assault, taking down the remaining Qin warriors effortlessly.
To him, they were like paper; none could withstand his power. Under the Scorching Sun God's Palm, every Qin warrior fell within minutes.
In less than a quarter of an hour, every Blood Refining warrior in the Qin family lay dead.
The remaining Skin Refining warriors fared no better, as Meng Peng and the Four Seas Gang swiftly dispatched them.
Although the Four Seas Gang and the others were weaker than the Qin family, they were no slouches in their own right. With Meng Peng leading the charge, they were more than capable of handling the situation.
When the last warrior fell, Meng Peng approached Gu Qingfeng, cupping his fists. "Reporting to the Patriarch, all Qin family warriors have been eliminated!"
Gu Qingfeng glanced at him, his voice devoid of emotion. "I intend to wipe out the entire Qin family. If you stop now, do you want me to lose my credibility?"
These words chilled Meng Peng to the bone. Although Gu Qingfeng's tone was calm, the underlying menace was palpable.
Without hesitation, Meng Peng raised his weapon, ruthlessly turning to the remaining Qin family members.
"The patriarch has ordered that no one from the Qin family should be spared. Kill them all!"
At his command, the slaughter resumed.
Cries of despair filled the air, with some cursing as they met their fate.
"Gu Qingfeng, you will pay for this!"
"You act with such cruelty; even as ghosts, we will haunt you!"
Unfazed, Gu Qingfeng maintained his indifference.
Cutting the weeds at the roots was essential in this world.
He had no qualms about eliminating the Qin family, understanding that any mercy would only invite future troubles.
As for their curses, they held no weight for him.
In this world, power spoke louder than words!
