!!!
The scene before Lin Xuan was silently observed. This was his disciple's affair, and if he wanted to achieve sword perfection, it naturally had to be resolved by the disciple himself.
At this moment, with both arms and legs severed, Jian Cheng had almost become a useless person. Even if he managed to survive, the rest of his life would be disabled.
"How is this possible!? How is this possible!"
Now crippled, Jian Cheng felt endless pain throughout his body. Everything before his eyes seemed like a prison, unreal and surreal.
He couldn't imagine that the person before him was the once-thought-to-be-waste Jian Chen who had fallen from grace.
How could he possess such cultivation? How could a single sword strike sever his limbs without any chance for resistance?
Crack!
"No, this must be a dream, just a dream I created. Today is the day Jian Ling'er marries Sun Rufeng. As long as Jian Ling'er becomes the young lord's wife, I can soar to greater heights! Yes, that's it! Wake me up! Wake me up!"
Jian Cheng bit his tongue fiercely, hoping to remind himself that it was just a dream. However, the pain from his bitten tongue and the pain from his body constantly reminded him that everything was real.
Jian Cheng's eyes widened with disbelief, realizing that everything was happening and he was experiencing it.
"Where is my sister?!"
Jian Chen's voice echoed in his ears again.
"Gulp!"
Jian Cheng swallowed, finally understanding that he was done for. He was truly disabled, discarded by the Jian Chen he once thought had become a waste.
His mindset shifted rapidly. Even if he became a cripple, he still wanted to survive. If he could live, perhaps his father Jian Ren would have a chance to save him.
With determination, he endured the intense pain and pleaded, "Jian Chen, spare me! We are brothers. If you spare me, I'll take you to find your sister!"
Desperate for survival, Jian Cheng, devoid of the arrogance he had shown before, begged for mercy.
"Stop your nonsense! Where is she?!"
Snap!
The cold light fell, and the sound of a sharp sword echoed, beautiful but corresponding to the numbness below Jian Cheng's waist.
"You... you!! Jian Chen!! How ruthless! You've made me childless and without descendants! How ruthless!"
Jian Cheng had no idea where Jian Chen's sword had struck.
Insane!
He was insane!
At this moment, Jian Cheng, who had become a cripple, only had this thought in his mind!
Not only had he become a useless person, but even if he managed to survive in the future, he would live as something not quite human or ghostly. He had completely despaired!
"Speak, or die!"
Jian Chen lost patience, his sword resting against Jian Cheng's heart, the cold light shining in Jian Cheng's eyes.
He uttered a sentence similar to the one his master Lin Xuan had said when killing the Marquis of Ye.
"Speak! I'll talk!"
"Your sister is still in the family! She is preparing to get married within the family!"
Choosing to live, Jian Cheng hurriedly revealed the information. He still wanted to survive.
However, after getting this answer, a cold light flashed in Jian Cheng's eyes once again. It was the sword in Jian Chen's hand, falling heavily and embedding in Jian Cheng's chest.
Hum!
In Jian Chen's mind, there was a loud ringing. He was going to die!
"Jian Chen, I've already said it. Why do you still do this!?"
In the last moments of his life, Jian Cheng's pupils widened, and his eyes were filled with incredible disbelief.
"I only gave you two choices, but I didn't say I wouldn't let you die!"
Jian Chen coldly said.
Splat!
The long sword, stained with fresh blood, was pulled out from Jian Cheng's chest. Subsequently, his body slowly left the scene.
The guards' eyes reflected the figure dyed in crimson. Some of the Sun family's guards were even frightened to the point of losing control.
For them, that figure was like a demonic god. Only when he had walked far enough that they couldn't hear his voice did the guards barely dare to move, collapsing on the ground.
The scene just now was too terrifying!
"Quick... quickly, go tell the lord..."
After a while, someone finally dared to speak a little. Still, no one dared to move.
They were afraid that if they took a step forward, they would encounter the blood-like figure.
"Hiss!"
In the darkness, the little cat in Lin Xuan's hands, the tiger demon Hu Da, looked at the scene before him. As a Marquis-level powerhouse, even he couldn't help taking a cold breath.
He glanced up at Lin Xuan. The calm-faced strong man made him shiver.
He was grateful that he had chosen to submit to Lin Xuan at that time...
Otherwise, he wondered if he would end up in a more miserable state than this Jian Cheng.
A figure bathed in blood rushed through the streets, and Jian Chen did not deliberately conceal his presence. Many people on the street, initially slightly surprised at seeing him, quickly turned shocked when they noticed the head he carried in his hand, hastily avoiding him.
In a short time, Jian Chen had reached his original family, the gate of the Jian Family Mansion.
Looking at the plaque with the characters "Jian Mansion," Jian Chen's hand unleashed a sword aura, soaring into the sky. With a thunderous sound, the plaque was shattered into countless pieces.
"Who?! How dare you act recklessly in my Jian Family Mansion!"
Several figures from the Jian Family quickly rushed out of the mansion. Soon, they recognized the incoming figure.
"Jian Chen?"
"You dare to return..."
Before they could finish their words, cold lights flashed in the void, and their heads had already fallen to the ground, directly descending to the afterlife.
Jian Chen showed no mercy to these people. In the current Jian Family, killing ten people, there was basically not a single innocent one. Under the rule of the patriarch Jian Ren, they were all dirty individuals!
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
Hearing the commotion, more members of the Jian Family rushed out.
Sword sounds rang out, and the entire Jian Family courtyard had already turned into a scene of mountains of corpses and a sea of blood, like a purgatory.
Blood flowed into every corner, and Jian Chen bathed in the blood rain, as if he came from the depths of the underworld. With his supreme sword talent, he became stronger with each battle.
Crack, crack!
As Jian Chen advanced, blood blossoms burst open, and blood rained down!
"Young Master Jian Chen! Spare us!"
"Young Master Jian Chen, I was wrong! Spare me!"
"Young Master Jian Chen, we were forced by Elder Jian Ren. We didn't mean to offend you!"
...
Cries, clamor, pleas, and death sounds filled the entire Jian Family Mansion. Perhaps in the past, Jian Chen might have shown mercy, but now he had seen through the Jian Family—none of them were innocent!
Who dared to obstruct him? He would kill them!
After countless heads rolled on the ground, the crowd from the Jian Family scattered and fled. Facing the demonic figure, no one dared to approach and stop him.
Clatter, clatter, clatter!
Unconsciously, Jian Chen had already walked from the main gate to the grand hall of the Jian Family.
Outside was a sea of corpses!
Inside, the sound of clinking cups echoed.
"Second Young Master! After today, our two families will be in-laws. In the future, we will rely on you a lot! If you have any requests, feel free to give us orders. Although we are a bit old, we can still provide some help."
Another Jian Family elder, in the hall, spoke words of "heartfelt" exchange with the second young master of the Sun Family.
"No problem! From now on, we are family. No need for such formal orders. At most, it's just asking for your help when needed!"
The second young master of the Sun Family could also speak well. Unlike his older brother Sun Rufeng, he didn't need to pretend with these people. Although the Jian Family members were like rotten fish and shrimp, they still had some use.
"Second Young Master is generous!! We admire you. Let's have another toast to you!"
Several Jian Family elders fawned over the second young master of the Sun Family, hoping that the two families could successfully form a marital alliance. If anything happened, the second young master of the Sun Family might be able to help them.
"A few, today is a day of great joy. Why stay here? Why not go directly to the Lord's Mansion? It will be more lively there."
Because it was changed to a concubine, the son-in-law could not come personally for the marriage, so it was escorted by the second young master of the family. However, these people "met with great joy," so they sat down and had a few drinks.
"Good! Let's go! We'll go together!"
After discussing, several people were about to leave when a voice as enchanting as a ghost sounded:
"Where are you going, everyone?"
This voice made everyone present pause. They initially thought someone had come to celebrate the happy occasion, but their expressions quickly froze because the voice carried a murderous intent!
"Who?! How dare you act arrogantly in my Jian Family! Even in front of Young Master Sun!"
Several elders hastily shouted, performing impressively in front of the second young master of the Sun Family.
"Squeak!"
A sound rang out, and the mansion's main door slowly opened on its own, without any wind!
The scene that appeared before their eyes shocked everyone present!
In front of them!
Was a sea of blood!
In front of them!
Were mountains of corpses!
Those people lying on the ground were none other than their own Jian Family members.
"What...! How could this happen to my Jian Family?!"
The Jian Family elders were filled with blood-red shock and disbelief. Their eyes instantly turned bloodshot!
Why, in just the time it took to have a few drinks, had their Jian Family turned into such a state right under their noses?
Clatter, clatter!
Two footsteps sounded, and a figure bathed in blood appeared before them.
"Who are you?! How dare you be so ruthless to my Jian Family!"
Several elders loudly questioned.
"Who am I? Take a good look and see who I am!"
Jian Chen sternly said.
"Jian... Jian Chen?!" They finally recognized this figure.
"Jian Chen! You have the audacity to return after being expelled from my Jian Family! To harm our clansmen! You're dead!!"
"Please wait, Young Master Sun. Once we deal with this person, you can have a good laugh!"
Boom!
One of the elders with Void Profound strength released his spiritual power, rushing toward Jian Chen.
Little did they expect that Jian Chen would return on this day!
"Where is Ling'er? Speak, and I'll leave you with a complete corpse!"
In the face of their accusations, Jian Chen spoke lightly.
Compared to his sister, these people were all insignificant!
