545: He family

Xiao Tian's face was filled with displeasure; he had been completely ignored.

Too arrogant.

He Lishan's face was full of fright and horror. What terrifying aura was this? Even the Family Head's aura was vastly inferior compared to this person's.

Too strong!

Under this aura, he felt the blood in his entire body stop flowing, unable to muster even a shred of strength, as if one of them was in the heavens and the other on the earth.

Xiao Tian slowly walked forward, directly stepping on He Lishan's head, a sinister smile plastered on his face:

“Trash.”

Having said that, he stomped down. The head instantly burst open, splattering blood everywhere.

When He Ming saw this scene, he was scared witless. His entire body trembled, every cell urging him to flee immediately, but that terrifying aura kept He Ming paralyzed.

Xiao Tian looked towards He Ming again and said impatiently, “What are you howling about this early in the morning?”

He withdrew his oppressive might, then stepped on He Ming's arm. The intense pain flooded his mind, and He Ming couldn't help but let out a painful wail.

But Xiao Tian grew even more excited. The inherent Heart-Nature of a Vicious Beast is brutal; wasn't playing with its prey just standard practice?

Everyone watching this scene felt their hearts pound incessantly. This was truly terrifying.

Of course, many people were gloating.

The He Family had finally met their match. After being rampant in Wanlin City for so long, they were finally being dealt with, right?

The He Family used to be so arrogant and fearless, but the situation was different now.

“Who dares to kill my He Family members?”

A voice filled with rage rang out.

The He Family Head's expression was extremely gloomy. He had just noticed that two He Family jade tokens had shattered, which meant two members of their He Family Direct Line had died.

One of them was just a Direct Line disciple and not critically important, but the other was an Elder, who possessed the strength of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Rank.

Such a powerful individual was a pillar of their He Family.

However, the moment he finished speaking, he felt an invisible Void Realm power envelop him. By the time he regained his senses, a pair of hands had already seized his neck. The immense force made it impossible for him to resist, leaving him utterly defenseless.

What is happening!

The He Family Head was utterly bewildered and hadn't figured out what had happened yet.

He was currently being held in someone's hand like a chick being squeezed, completely unable to fight back.

Xiao Tian looked coldly at the He Family Head and said dismissively, “I killed them. What are you going to do about it?”

Those watching from afar almost burst into applause. The He Family had committed many wicked deeds, having an extremely poor reputation in Wanlin City, and many people had been oppressed by them—for example, the Qi-Scented Restaurant on this street.

Seeing the He Family Head in trouble now, everyone's face was filled with schadenfreude, even wishing that Xiao Tian would just kill the He Family Head outright.

“Sir, spare my life.”

The He Family Head's voice was weak. Since his neck was being choked, speaking was extremely difficult, and it took great effort to utter those few words.

Xiao Tian showed a smile, raised his fist, and then said, “Sure, if you can withstand one punch from me.”

He immediately delivered a rapid punch. Blood spurted, and the He Family Head perished on the spot.

Immortal Power protected Xiao Tian's body, so none of the blood stained him.

Li Moheng was also extremely surprised by Xiao Tian's strength. One must know that the He Family Head possessed the strength of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Rank, yet Xiao Tian killed him instantly. This indicated that Xiao Tian possessed at least the strength of the Immortal King Rank.

Only strength at this Rank could kill the He Family Head so easily.

The Tiantianlai Restaurant was not far from the inn where Su Chen was staying. When he heard the commotion earlier, he came over to check and happened to see He Ming causing trouble, and naturally knew that Xiao Tian was Su Chen's Servant.

Su Chen was only in the Earth Immortal Realm, yet he had such a terrifying Servant in this Realm. This suggested that Su Chen must have a powerful figure backing him.

Li Moheng's expression became solemn. A person he casually struck up a conversation with on the street actually had such a significant background.

“Husband, this person's background is not simple. His Servant has a cultivation base at the Immortal Lord Middle Stage, and his Vicious Qi is monstrous. His true form is likely a Vicious Beast with an extremely terrifying Bloodline.”

Huang Yan's soft voice rang out in his mind. She had never left, always secretly protecting Li Moheng.

From her somewhat serious tone, Li Moheng could tell that this was indeed not simple.

One must know that Huang Yan was an Immortal Venerable expert. For her to be serious, it meant the Servant truly had a significant background.

To have an Immortal Lord expert personally guarding him, Su Chen's background must be too immense.

Even if he were the descendant of an Immortal Venerable, getting an Immortal Lord to personally guard him would be nearly impossible.

Li Moheng didn't dwell on these matters too much. He shook his head and laughed, “I didn't expect Brother Su's friend to be so terrifying. It seems I worried for nothing.”

Su Chen smiled, “I am already very grateful that Fellow Daoist was willing to step in and help.”

He and Li Moheng were merely chance acquaintances, having known each other for a short time, yet Li Moheng was willing to help him kill the He Family members. Su Chen was quite appreciative of this point.

Li Moheng was truly a man of Genuine Character. Meeting such a person in this world was a rare occurrence.

Li Moheng waved his hand, smiled, and then cupped his fist in farewell.

He actually didn't care much about Su Chen's cultivation or background. Just like when he first invited Su Chen at Tiantianlai, he didn't look down on him just because Su Chen was only an Earth Immortal Cultivator.

Now, Li Moheng wouldn't fawn over Su Chen just because his background was powerful. For him, Su Chen was simply a friend.

With the He Family destroyed, the inn was naturally preserved. The Shopkeeper was extremely grateful and said he wanted to treat Su Chen to dinner.

Su Chen said it wasn't necessary, but the Shopkeeper insisted on providing it. In the end, they prepared an extremely sumptuous dinner; if bought outside, it would cost quite a few Immortal Crystals.

The Shopkeeper didn't feel bad about the cost. Compared to the preservation of the inn, all of this was nothing.

The destruction of the He Family was beneficial not only to the Shopkeeper but also to many people in Wanlin City.

Without the He Family, it was as if a giant stone had been removed from their chests, and that feeling of oppression vanished completely.

The following days returned to peace. Su Chen did not stay in Wanlin City; he traveled around, touring the Qingxuan Empire...
