Section 7

Listening to Su Zhou's words, Su Bu Ku felt a certain enlightenment deep within him.

With a twist of the plain blade in his hand, he directly cut off the heads of two enemies.

In fact, over the years, he had long discovered his own uniqueness.

When facing battles and massacres, he was always incredibly calm, and beneath that calmness was an boundless desire for slaughter.

Every time he fought, he became somewhat unrecognizable to himself; in his eyes, those people he killed were like delicious snacks.

This feeling terrified him, and his cultivation increased exceptionally fast when he was slaughtering.

But because of this, Su Bu Ku was somewhat afraid.

He was afraid of his secret being known.

He was even more afraid that if he were categorized as being on the Demonic Path, it would implicate his Family.

Unknowingly, Su Bu Ku had placed an invisible shackles upon himself.

In fact, he had already reached Great Perfection of the Qi Transformation Realm three years ago, but he was always just one step away from a Breakthrough.

And it was Su Zhou's words just now that awakened him.

The Slaughtering Bodhi Physique, where good and evil intertwine, and righteousness and wickedness are one; the killing intent is directed at enemies, and Bodhi is directed at the beneficial.

At this moment, Su Bu Ku's naturally kind state of mind and his boundless killing intent reached a subtle harmony.

His plain blade once again pierced through an enemy's heart.

Then, his entire aura suddenly changed; the Qi and blood within his body surged and impacted his meridians, followed by the circulation of True Qi.

Su Bu Ku entered the Meridian Opening Realm!

Su Zhou, inside the room, observed this and glanced briefly at his nephew.

"Ding!! Congratulations to the Host, Su Family, Su Bu Ku, for comprehending the true meaning of slaughter. Family Luck +100. The Clan Chief receives an additional reward: Yellow Rank Low Grade Cultivation Technique, Killing Heaven Jade!"

"Killing Heaven Jade: I cleave Heaven and Earth with killing intent, letting a sea of blood drown the Nine Heavens. It cultivates slaughter with slaughter, transforming True Qi into the power of slaughter. The more slaughter, the stronger one becomes.

Note: This Cultivation Technique will continuously advance in grade as the wielder slaughters living beings, capable of reaching Heaven Rank."

"The more slaughter, the stronger one becomes. It's quite suitable for Bu Ku; his Slaughtering Bodhi Physique should be very compatible with this Cultivation Technique."

Su Zhou nodded in satisfaction. This System was truly considerate. He had been wondering how to cultivate Su Bu Ku, and the System immediately delivered the Cultivation Technique into his hands.

"Watching my Su Family's Prodigy grow stronger by stepping on the Li Family's blood, what kind of mood are you in now?"

"Li Zi Wen, when I was in seclusion, when you chose to be a dog for others, did you ever think there would be a day like this?" Su Zhou said indifferently.

His foot was stepping on a middle-aged man's face, forcing him to watch his Family fall one by one.

"Good birds choose their trees to perch! There is no right or wrong!"

"It's just the winner takes all!"

Li Zi Wen squeezed these words out from between his teeth.

Although the Li Family was completely finished, there seemed to be a glimmer of fire deep in his eyes.

"I have borne the cost, but my Li Family is not yet extinct!" This sentence kept repeating in his heart, as if giving him boundless strength.

A hint of curiosity appeared on Su Zhou's face, and he pressed down slightly with his foot.

He forcefully rubbed Li Zi Wen's face on the ground.

Crack!!

The force was so strong that it crushed his facial bones.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!" Li Zi Wen let out a scream of unbearable pain.

Su Zhou, however, frowned: "Noisy!"

Then his True Qi moved slightly.

In an instant, Li Zi Wen was as if deprived of the right to make a sound; no matter how he roared, no sound came out.

At this moment, the Li Family's main hall was already strewn with corpses; the bodies of the Li Family Elders were casually discarded on the ground like trash.

Many of these Elders were not killed by Su Zhou, but by the Li Family's retainers who, in order to seek a chance to live, actively killed their former masters.

"There's still hope in your eyes."

"What is it that still gives you hope?"

"Does your Li Family have other trump cards?"

"No, the Li Family is not a branch of a major Family, nor does it have any powerful backing. But your active obstruction of my reclaiming the property... this behavior... is like offering yourselves up for me to vent my anger."

"What could make you rest easy in death? The Wang Family, while courageous, lacks the means. This seems like Ma Xiao's doing."

Su Zhou spoke lightly, but the more he spoke, the more terrified Li Zi Wen's eyes became.

"Indeed, you understand me. With what your Li Family has done, you will inevitably face my reckoning. But rushing to your deaths like this, what did the Ma Family Family promise you?"

"Let me guess..." Su Zhou's foot twisted on Li Zi Wen's face, but compared to the intense pain, Su Zhou's next words were what truly made him despair.

"They promised to preserve a Bloodline of your Li Family, right..." Su Zhou suddenly squatted down, looking at Li Zi Wen's face, distorted by his foot.

A gentle smile played on his lips, but that smile made Li Zi Wen feel as if he had fallen into boundless Hell.

"These fancy schemes, I'm really too lazy to guess. It doesn't matter anymore."

"It doesn't matter how many of your Li Family they protected; from now on, Heavenly Martial City only needs one voice."

Su Zhou's voice was like the cold wind of the Underworld, making him feel a piercing chill, and his previously unyielding gaze became incredibly dim at this moment.

At this time, the Su Family Disciples' slaughter of the Li Family had ended. They were all covered in blood, yet none were injured or dead. They stood outside the door, looking at Su Zhou with adoration.

As if looking at the God in their hearts.

"Pass down the order: spare no Family that has any connection with the Li Family. Anyone with Li Family Bloodline, kill without mercy."

"As the saying goes, wild fires cannot be completely burned, and when cutting grass, the roots must be removed!"

Su Zhou instructed in a low voice, not loudly, but the Su Family members regarded it as a divine decree!

"As for Li Clan Chief... Hehe, a good bird chooses its tree to perch. Men, throw him into the dungeon."

"Death is easy, but I don't want you to die now. I want this person to see with his own eyes how the tree this 'good bird' chose is utterly broken!"

"Ding! Family Quest: Annihilate the Li Family completed!".

Chapter Nine: Not just anyone is qualified to be a dog of the Su Family!

"Ding! Family Quest: Annihilate the Li Family completed!"

"Congratulations to the Host for obtaining a Heaven Rank Medicinal Pill: Hundred Refinements Body Tempering Pill!"

"Congratulations to the Host for obtaining an Earth Rank Cultivation Technique: Heaven and Earth Hidden Spring Chant!"

Looking at the various rewards before him, Su Zhou's heart was filled with joy, which also meant that the Li Family, who had previously come to insult the Su Family, was completely annihilated.

Next, they began to inventory the Li Family's assets.

How difficult it was to develop a Family; food, clothing, daily necessities, Heaven And Earth Treasure, which one didn't require money?

The rapid development of a Family required a large amount of gold and silver treasures to support it.

At Su Zhou's signal, the Su Family members began to carry out boxes of blood-stained gold, silver, jewelry, and property deeds.

They were preparing to move all these things back to the Su Family.

"Su... Su Clan Chief..." At this moment, a trembling voice sounded in Su Zhou's ear.

Su Zhou turned his head and saw that it was the former retainers of the Li Family.

"Su Clan Chief... The Li Family is destroyed, can we leave now?"

"This damn Li Family is simply heartless; they received favors from the Su Family yet dared to betray them. They are truly beasts!"

"I just personally cut off the head of the Li Family's Fourth Elder, bah! I was truly blind before to have joined the Li Family."

A burly man with a cultivation of Nine Apertures Sixth Layer looked at Su Zhou tremblingly.

His legs kept shaking.

It wasn't that he was useless.

The Su Family Clan Chief before him, dressed in black mystic robes, holding a folding fan, like an immortal banished to the mortal world, was simply a God of Slaughter.

In the midst of casual conversation, the entire Li Family was covered in corpses, without even the slightest ability to fight back.

He was afraid that if he said one wrong word, his head would be taken off.

"The Li Family's retainers, huh..." Su Zhou looked up and down at the Li Family retainers who had been terrified out of their wits.

"Bu Ku." He then called his nephew.

Su Bu Ku, who was inventorying the Li Family's assets, heard his uncle call his name and scurried over.

"Uncle, what's wrong?" Su Bu Ku asked.

At this time, Su Bu Ku had not only broken through to the Meridian Opening Realm, but his Realm had also risen three levels, reaching Meridian Opening Third Layer.

"This Slaughtering Bodhi Physique truly only grows rapidly through slaughter."
