What?
Eliminate the Cheng Family?
Chang Qianqian and Chang Hao shuddered, looking at Qin Jun with disbelief.
With Daji and the Roaring Sky Dog present, they naturally didn't doubt Qin Jun's ability to do it, but they felt a chill in their hearts. Was it just because Cheng Jie had offended Qin Jun?
"Giggle, that'll do. I can't stand it when someone dares to challenge our Young Master," Daji said with a wink and a seductive smile, licking her lips. The Daji from the 'Investiture of the Gods' was never a woman of mercy. Troubling an entire nation wasn't just about her beauty; it was also her methods.
The Roaring Sky Dog didn't speak but let out a low growl, the kind that dogs emit when they are angered.
Chang Qianqian and Chang Hao couldn't help but fall silent. It was true, what kind of master, what kind of followers. They could only mourn silently for Cheng Jie and the Cheng Family.
The location of the Cheng Family was easy to find because the whole city's populace knew it.
Qin Jun made no preparation, directly leading Daji and the Roaring Sky Dog to attack the Cheng Family.
Soon, the group arrived in front of the Cheng residence. In front of the large gate was a small street where various vendors were doing business, all under the banner of the Cheng Family. At the same time, two squads of guards patrolled the area.
"What a grand Cheng Family!"
Qin Jun clicked his tongue in wonder. In Qingtan City, the grandest and largest estate he saw was the Cheng residence, with walls standing four meters tall, insurmountable by normal people. The manor was vast, boasting even a hill amidst the clouds and mist, with birds fluttering in and out, giving off the illusion of a mountain of immortals.
A look at the mansion was enough to gauge the status and wealth of the Cheng Family in Qingtan City.
"Halt! Commoners are not allowed to enter the Cheng Family!"
A guard raised his staff and shouted, other patrolling guards quickly gathering around, their expressions unfriendly as if they were ready to attack at any moment.
Qin Jun smirked and marched straight towards the gate.
"Seeking death!"
The staff-wielding guard roared and swung his weapon at Qin Jun's head. If it were an ordinary person, their head would likely explode upon impact.
As someone in the Foundation Establishment realm, how could Qin Jun be hit by that attack? He raised his right hand effortlessly, catching the staff, his immense strength causing the guard to lose his grip on it.
"Hmph! The one seeking death is you!"
Qin Jun's right leg shot up like lightning, kicking the guard squarely in the chest with great force, sending him flying backward, spitting blood.
These guards were generally at the second or third level of the energy refining realm. How could they be a match for someone at the fourth level of the Foundation Establishment realm?
It's like a herd of sheep trying to overpower a fierce tiger!
Daji and the Roaring Sky Dog did not make a move. These ants were no match for Qin Jun.
Arriving in front of the estate's gate, Qin Jun kicked the shut doors open with one foot. The strength of someone in the Foundation Establishment realm far surpassed that of the energy refining realm. By his own estimation, Qin Jun's strength was at least over five thousand pounds!
Such strength, if unleashed on a human body, was definitely devastating!
The guards didn't dare to obstruct, all staring agape at Qin Jun; such strength they had only seen in their Clan leader.
"Look! Someone is breaking into the Cheng residence!"
"Damn! Who are they to be so bold?"
"Explosive!"
"Tsk tsk, someone is in for bad luck!"
The passing commoners near the mansion began to talk among themselves, and the news quickly spread like a plague throughout the city.
The various Clans quickly received the message.
Meanwhile, Qin Jun and his group entered the Cheng residence and were soon surrounded by Cheng Family cultivators attacking from all directions.
"It's you!"
Cheng Jie walked out from the garden with a middle-aged man, eyes reddening the moment he saw Qin Jun and the others, especially Chang Hao.
This guy now harbored more hatred towards Chang Hao than Qin Jun because his right arm had been ruined by Chang Hao, making it difficult to recover in a few months.
"Today, the Cheng Family must be disbanded!"
Qin Jun declared domineeringly. The system only mentioned the destruction of the Cheng Family, never specifying that everyone must be killed.
Inside the Cheng Family, there were many slaves and servants who were innocent. Qin Jun didn't wish to harm them.
"Damn! Say that again!"
Cheng Jie was enraged, and the middle-aged man behind him began to size up Qin Jun and the others. This man appeared ordinary in appearance, lanky with grey clothing, indistinguishable from a house servant, but the sinister look in his eyes was chilling.
Qin Jun noticed this grey-clad middle-aged man, a Foundation Establishment realm expert!
Although Qin Jun was also in the Foundation Establishment realm, his experience was too little. The rapid leap in realm rendered his foundation unstable, and in terms of combat capability, even a newly advanced Foundation Establishment cultivator could beat him in a fight.
"You Cheng Family have offended someone you shouldn't have!" Chang Hao mocked coldly.
It seemed like a friendly warning, but clearly, he was provocatively stimulating Cheng Jie.
Qin Jun didn't mind; the Cheng Family would be destroyed today nonetheless.
Deciding this, Qin Jun moved his right hand behind him, conjuring a Desert Eagle out of thin air, a malicious smile spreading across his face.
"Uncle, it's them! Help me kill them!"
Cheng Jie was beside himself with rage, hastily urging the grey-clad middle-aged man to take action.
Bang—
Right then, a gunshot tore through the uproar, silencing the entire Cheng Family.
Qin Jun was seen holding the Desert Eagle with his right hand, while Cheng Jie stiffened, a bloody hole in his forehead. His gaze dimmed, blood flowing down from the hole, a ghastly sight.
"Ding! You have completed the side mission—Root Out the Weeds by Killing Cheng Jie! You have earned 534 experience points!"
Cheng Jie himself was worth thirty-four experience points, and together with the complete task reward, though it wasn't enough for a level-up, Qin Jun was still satisfied.
Silence!
Chang Qianqian and the others all gaped, the cultivators stunned as they watched Qin Jun.
The grey-clad middle-aged man's face darkened instantly. Cheng Jie was the Cheng Family's eldest son, and Qin Jun had killed him right before his eyes!
With a boom, the grey-clad middle-aged man suddenly struck, his right fist igniting with flames as he attacked Qin Jun. In just two strides, he was less than two meters away from Qin Jun, moving so fast that Qin Jun could barely react.
"Slap—"
The grey-clad man only caught a white blur before a tremendous force hit his right cheek. His body uncontrollably flew backward, crashing into a large tree in the distance.
The cultivators ready to attack were so frightened that they trembled, their feet rooted to the spot, not daring to advance.
"Tsk tsk, so this is a spell?"
Qin Jun clicked his tongue in wonder. For fists to ignite with flames defied scientific logic and could only be explained by magic.
"It's just a low-level spell," Daji said with disdain, waving her hand as though slapping the grey-clad man's face was beneath her.
Chang Qianqian watched excitedly. For a woman to reach such heights as Daji wasn't in vain!
Little did she know, Daji wasn't a real woman but a nine-tailed fox demoness!
Chang Hao subconsciously touched his own face. From the beginning, full of lust for Daji, to now, he didn't dare to entertain any improper thoughts about her, only fear.
Then, Qin Jun opened fire at the struggling grey-clad man as he tried to get up from the ground. The incapacitated man managing to stand was already his limit; unable to dodge, his head exploded on the spot.
