CHAPTER 241: Murderous Intent Ignited

"Oof!"

The brocade robed man fell sprawled upon the floor with a grunt, the excruciating pain in his abdomen from being kicked causing his forehead to be covered in cold sweat. He wanted to stand up, but he found he could not summon up any strength at that moment.

The crowd that witnessed the entire scene fell quiet in that instant, seemingly silenced by incredulity. Afterall, that man was a member of the Liu Family and his cultivated powers was considered to be outstanding among his peers. But at that moment, he was sprawled helplessly upon the floor with just one kick from the red clothed youth, so how could they possibly not be stunned in shock?

In the instant that the middle aged man at the side saw the red clothed youth execute that kick, his gaze had changed, where a glint of surprise had flashed very briefly. With a sideway glance, he then reassessed the red clothed youth once again.

Maybe having detected his measuring gaze, the red clothed youth's clear eyes then looked towards him with a dark glint. In that instant, he seemed to be looking through an illusion, where it was not a youth standing right before him, but a supreme ruler!

The kind of absorbing oppression and chilling aura that shot out from his gaze, caused his heart to can't help but quake. If it was said he had originally felt that the youth was possibly a member of nobility, then at that moment, he was certain that the youth possessed an extraordinary background!

And it was due to that thought rising inside his head that the expression on his face warmed up as he said: "Why not we have the Young Master discuss this behind?" At the same time, his hands made an inviting gesture.

However at that moment, the brocade robed man stood up with a highly darkened face and said: "Go? Where do you think you're going? You really think the Liu Family is to be taken so lightly? You want to leave after kicking me? No way!"

The moment his voice fell, the spirit energy on his body surged and a blade of wind formed in his palm. His body then shot towards Feng Jiu in the next instant, the blade of wind in his hand slashing straight towards her at the same time.

Feng Jiu who had originally intended to follow the middle aged man to walk out through an exit at the side sensed the harsh blade of Qi behind her and at the same moment she turned around, she saw the blade of Qi slashing straight at her. Hearing only the swoosh as it passed, her sleeves, just behind the hands that she imbued with Qi to block the attack, were sliced into shreds, to reveal two wrists fair as snow lotus roots.

That snow white skin, looked so soft they might break from a single blow of the breath, causing quite a number of men to breath a tad more heavily. One by one they stared at that red clothed youth's handsome countenance, thinking secretly to themselves: [The youth has such outstanding looks. If that was a girl, that beauty would definitely be one that will bring down cities.]

Feng Jiu only felt a tinge of a sting upon her face. She lifted her fingers to wipe her face lightly, and spots of blood spread onto her fingertips.....

Seeing that, the edges of her lips slowly blossomed with a devilishly mesmerizing smile. That smile was like that of a poppy blooming under the spring's breeze, unimaginably beautiful, but tinged with a tad of bloodthirsty danger.....

Her gaze narrowed, and a chilling murderous aura flared out from her body in an instant! However, the brocade robed man did not seem to have noticed as he had also been mesmerized by that devilishly enchanting smile that blossomed upon the lips of the person before him, his eyes even rising with infatuation, completely blinded to the rage burning before his eyes.

But the middle aged man from the Famed Cloud Loft at the side was highly startled in his heart, especially when he detected the murderous aura flaring out from the body of the red clothed youth, he became even more terrified. Just as he was about to open his mouth, he saw the red clothed figure suddenly shoot towards the brocade robed man in a flash, the speed so fast that it was already too late to stop him even if he wanted to.....

CHAPTER 242: Dare to Kill or Not?

"Ugh!"

The brocade robed man choked in terror, his entire body stiffened up because his throat was tightly clutched in the red clothed youth's grip, and the force of that grip felt as if his neck would snap in two if the red clothed youth were to tighten his grip just another notch, driving terror into his heart.

"Young Master must not!"

The middle aged man cried out in fright. If the Liu Family's Young Master were to die here, not only would their Famed Cloud Loft get themselves into trouble, even that red clothed youth would find himself hard pressed to withstand the Liu Family's rage.

"Whoa! What is he thinking of doing? He couldn't possibly be thinking of killing the Liu Family's Young Master could he?"

"Impossible. He wouldn't have the guts. Kill him? He wouldn't be able to live as well."

People in the crowd erupted into heated discussion, shocked by the actions of the red clothed youth. But they all felt that the youth would not dare to kill the Liu Family's Young Master as afterall, killing a member of the influential aristocratic families in the Six Path City would be openly pitting oneself against the entire aristocracy. Being just a lone outsider from out of town, it was thought that he would not dare to.

Not just the people in the crowd thought that way. Even the Young Master from the Liu Family who had his throat held in a clutch assumed as much. After the initial shock and terror passed, he calmed down and his gaze stared tauntingly at Feng Jiu.

"You want to kill me? Do you dare to? Go out there and ask around. Who in the Six Path City doesn't know about our Liu Family?"

Only the middle aged man from the Famed Cloud Loft standing at the side knew that the red clothed youth's intent to kill had really been incited and he did not think that the red clothed youth did not dare to kill that Young Master Liu. Afterall, young youths are more prone to being rash and sometimes, they do not consider the consequences for their actions at all.

Feng Jiu's gaze narrowed, the corners of her mouth curling up slightly into a hook as she said in a soft voice: "Liu Family? Very powerful?"

The hand she had clutched upon his throat gradually tightened, and because the hand holding the throat was raised up, the Young Master from the Liu Family was gasping due to the increased difficulty in breathing, helplessly pushing himself up on the tip of his toes to alleviate the suffocation.

As his face slowly turned purple, he was not even able to utter a single word. Staring at the red clothed youth before his eyes, he suddenly felt a trace of panic in his heart, tinged with a sense of fear.

Seeing the brocade robed man's face gradually turning purple and his hands grasping tightly at her hand in a desperate attempt to struggle free, she then showed a dangerous smile that was almost terrifying to look at.

"The last person who harmed my face is already dead, and the corpse must have already been completely chewed upon by wild beasts till there's nothing left. Tell me, how do you want to die?"

Watching that scene, the middle aged man did not dare to open his mouth, because he knew that if he continued to say anything in dissuasion, he would only make the red clothed youth kill the Liu Family's Young Master more quickly. Seeing that the situation had taken such a bad turn, he was still considering whether he should get the higher management to come out to resolve the matter when he suddenly heard several loud shouts.

"Release our family's Young Master!"

Several of their guards had originally been standing guard outside and when they heard that their Young Master was in trouble, one of them had quickly run back to the manor to report it while three other men rushed in to investigate.

They came in to see their Young Master being held by the neck by a red clothed youth and looking like he was about to be choked to death where they then immediately leapt over the fence that surrounded the arena to rush in.

At that moment, Feng Jiu was not aware that in one of the Famed Cloud Loft's private VIP rooms, the Six Path City's City Lord was entertaining a red clothed and masked "Ghost Doctor" and that the ruckus in the arena had attracted the attention of the two people in the room, with the City Lord and the "Ghost Doctor" looking at Feng Jiu standing in the middle of the arena.

The City Lord saw that the Ghost Doctor was seemingly showing great interest in the red clothed youth and he said with a laugh: "He looks to be a member of an aristocrat family but is too full of himself, being so arrogant at such a young age. If he kills the Liu Family's Young Master here, that youth can forget about getting out of the Six Path City alive."

CHAPTER 243: Bring Him Within My Grasp

"This youth has rather outstanding looks, his handsome features so rare to see."

The man dressed in red clothes and wearing a mandragora mask said as he stared at Feng Jiu down below, his gaze tinged with hint of fervour.

Hearing those words, the City Lord's eyes flashed and he said with a smile: "The respected Ghost Doctor might not know this. In the Six Path City, there is an area known as the Handsome Men District, and all the men there possess outstanding looks."

"How could those men in the Handsome Men District possibly have the noble air and devilish charm of this youth? This youth here is such a rare treasure!"

The "Ghost Doctor's" fervent eyes then fell upon Feng Jiu's snow white wrist, his gaze slowly slithering up from there, to brush over that beautifully sculpted neckline, before roving further up to absorb up that unmatchedly exquisite countenance that was tinged with a deliciously devilish air, his heart fluttering up more intensely the more he looked.

When the Six Path City Lord heard those words, he immediately held his tongue.

He did not seem to have heard that the Ghost Doctor had the broken sleeve habit. But based on his interaction with the Ghost Doctor so far, he discovered that the Ghost Doctor was not all that interested in beauties, but had instead paid close attention towards handsome looking men.

If only it had just been the average person out there, it would have been easy. Afterall, what kind of a man would one not be able to find in the Handsome Men District? But having set his sights on that red clothed youth down there, the City Lord was however a little hesitant.

Although if he sought to ask for more medicine from the Ghost Doctor, he would then have to fawn upon and ingratiate himself to the Ghost Doctor, but with him being the City Lord of the Six Path City, he could not possibly overstep the bounds of propriety too much, or it might cause too big an effect upon the whole situation.

However, just as he was hesitating, he heard the Ghost Doctor's voice reach his ears.

"City Lord Chang, if you are able to help bring this youth within my grasp, then I will definitely make it worth your while."

Hearing those words, the City Lord was taken aback as he stared at the Ghost Doctor beside him. Those words were as good as a form of promise, and to him, it was a great opportunity.

"Alright! I'll try to think of a way." He nodded in agreement and he then saw the "Ghost Doctor" staring in astonishment down below. Upon seeing that, he turned his head to look down as well.

As the three guards who leapt into the arena charged forward, they waved their swords to attack the red clothed youth, thinking to force him to loosen his grip. Unexpectedly, the youth just turned and switched positions with the Liu Family's Young Master, to use him as a meat shield, where he sorely took a sword slash from one of his own guards.

"Argh!"

"Young..... Young Master!"

In shocked astonishment, the guard's face went white, so terrified his entire body trembled uncontrollably. But right at that instant, Feng Jiu's flying kick struck him right on his head and he immediately fell into a dead faint.

The other two men still went on to step forward, but they no longer dared to use theirs swords, afraid that they would harm their Young Master. With just a few strokes, they were sent flying with a strike by Feng Jiu, where they howled and wailed upon the ground, unable to get up.

By that time, Young Master Liu's face was already devoid of colour, having taken a sword slash upon his back, the wound was gushing with blood which stained his robes red, the excruciating pain causing cold sweat to run, but despite all that, he was still unable to break free from the hand that clutched at his throat.

At this moment, Feng Jiu stared at the Liu Family's Young Master who at that point was filled with fear, to say in a lazy voice tinged with bloodthirstiness: "Strangling you to death just like that would be too easy for you. Why not we do it another way?"

"You..... What are you thinking of doing? You must know that if I..... I die, you will not be able to live as well!" The Liu Family's Young Master said with a trembling voice.

"What do you say we let you have a taste of suffering a fate worse than death?"

Feng Jiu lightly mirthful voice came out that had a hint of chill in it. The moment the voice fell, she flipped her hands over to clasp them over his hands, and she then turned them completely around to his back where she twisted his hands with a sharp tug. Several sharp cracks of bones breaking could be heard at the places her hands had touched, accompanied by pitiful wails that rang out, gradually escalating higher in pitch with every crack.

It was until she stopped and everyone's eyes looked at the Liu Family's Young Master on the floor that they all gasped loudly!

CHAPTER 244: Instant Kill

All that everyone saw was only Young Master Liu twisted up into a ball upon the ground. It was not known how his entire body was bent and folded, but his arms and legs were twisted up behind his back, and even his neck was turned round to the side, all the bones in his body seemingly crushed as he was bent into an impossible shrunken ball.

Not only that, but his meridians were still twitching, the visible greens veins pulsating one by one. His lower jaw had been dislodged from its sockets, where he was unable to speak but to make unintelligible sounds as he drooled uncontrollably.

Seeing the Liu Family's Young Master who had been so spirited and filled with vigor reduced to such a state, everyone was in shock.

[Is this youth setting himself up to go against the Liu Family? He actually dares to crushed the bones in the body of Young Master Liu to such a state where he's better off dead. This..... if this was seen by people of the Liu Family, what kind of a rage would they fly into?

When the middle aged man at the side saw that scene, he could not help but gulped, his heart filled with shock and horror.

[The red clothed youth's strikes are just too terrifying!]

Killing someone was merely having the person's head strike the ground. But the red clothed youth had crushed all the bones in the Liu Family's Young Master's body and it was not known what technique he employed to twist up Young Master Liu's body into such a state. Although Young Master Liu was still alive, the state he was in before everyone's eyes would seem he was better off dead.

With the bones in his body all crushed, it was afraid that it would be impossible to recover from it. With recovery impossible, he would be as good as being a complete cripple. That, to a cultivator, how cruel a fact would it be for them to have become a helpless cripple?

"Old White, let's go." Feng Jiu said as she patted the Dragon Horse waiting beside her, thinking to leave.

However, how could it possibly be that easy for her to want to leave just like that at that moment?

"Young Master, I'm afraid you can't just leave like this."

The middle aged man started to say as he glanced at the twitching body of the Liu Family's Young Master. "The Liu Manor's people have not arrived and if the Young Master here leaves just like that, it would be hard for us to answer for it."

Hearing that, Feng Jiu halted her steps and swept over gaze over to him and said with an eyebrow raised: "Are you saying that you are going to stop me?"

The middle aged man had not yet even opened his mouth when a furious roar could be heard coming in from outside, that voice was imbued with a powerful oppressive aura, that sent a few quakes to rock through the entire venue.

"Who dared to wound the members of our Liu Family!"

A grey clothed elderly man appeared within the premises in a blink once that voice fell and when he saw Young Master Liu's body lying all twisted up upon the ground, he flew into a great rage and oppressive aura with a sinister tinge immediately shot out from his body.

"Who! ? Who dares to cripple a member of our Liu Family! ?"

With a roar, his sharp and malicious gaze swept over the arena, and fell upon the figure of that red clothed youth. The middle aged man, he recognized as the Famed Cloud Loft's manager, and it was naturally not possible for him to injure a member of their Liu Family which would then only leave that red clothed youth!

The target locked, he pulled back his palm and a stream of Qi taking on the form of a claw suddenly shot towards Feng Jiu, aimed to clutch straight upon her throat, heavy with murderous intent which filled everyone with terror and fright.

Feng Jiu had her back towards the grey robed elderly man and a sharp icy glint suddenly passed over her half lowered eyes. With a slight flick of her hand, a sharp dagger appeared in her palm and with a flash of that red figure, the sharp dagger thrust out, slashing in an arc right at the grey robed elderly man.

"Szz!"

A loud gasp sounded and the grey robed elderly man quickly retracted his hand to clutch at the deep gash that had opened on his wrist as the gaze he held fixed upon Feng Jiu grew dark.

"Ignorant kid! You dare to go against our Liu Family! I think you must be tired of living!"

The corners of Feng Jiu's mouth curled up in a smile, but the smile did not reach her eyes as she said: "I think an old thing like you is the one who is tired of living!"

The moment the voice fell, the red figure shot forward without warning, the great speed causing the people outside the arena to stare wide eyed with shock.

'Swoosh!'

A sharp swoosh of wind passed and bright red blood splattered. A figure then fell flat to the ground. Till death, that pair of eyes were opened wide with terror, seemingly having died while highly aggrieved.....

CHAPTER 245: Not of Common Stock!

'Bam!'

The body fell to the floor with a loud crash, shocking the people outside the arena to stand to their feet with a woosh, to stare incredulously into the arena.

"Heavens! He actually killed the Liu Family's Third Elder!"

"Sheesh! It..... It was an instant kill at that!"

"The Liu Family's Third Elder was a cultivator at the Foundation fourth stage and he..... he was taken down by a youth with just one stroke! ?"

"Where..... Where is that youth even from? Could his cultivation really have been higher than the Liu Family's Third Elder?"

"The entire matter has now become really serious! That youth has gotten himself in big trouble....."

The voices grew to become loud and raucous, immediately turning the entire venue chaotic as the people debated in low voices one after another, their shocked and terrified gazes falling upon the figure of the red clothed youth in the arena, struck by his viciousness and fearlessness, stunned by the fact that he had been able to take down a Foundation cultivator in an instant!

It must be known that a Foundation cultivator was not like cultivators at the Spirit Masters and Grand Spirit Masters levels. A Foundation cultivator was one who had already entered into the path towards becoming an Immortal, a cultivator of Immortality, who would already possess a long lifespan of two hundred years! That was when one just had to stamp his foot and he would be able to make countless Spirit Masters and Grand Spirit Masters to cower upon the ground in terror, a mighty cultivator of Immortality!

But now, he had actually been killed in a split second by that red clothed youth.....

Not just the people surrounding the arena were shocked. Even the Six Path City's City Lord Chang had been properly startled by the red clothed youth's viciousness, needless to mention the fake Ghost Doctor who had been standing next to the City Lord and had been staring at Feng Jiu with a lecherous gaze.

"That kid, is definitely not of common stock!"

After the initial shock had passed, the City Lord cried out in astoundment, shaking his head as he looked at the "Ghost Doctor" at his side: "With this youth, I'm afraid, must not be touched."

As the Six Path City Lord, he had seen and read a countless number of people, hence he could naturally see the red clothed youth's decisiveness and viciousness was not something just any regular family could possibly be able to nurture and groom.

Even when he knew that the opponent was from the Liu Family, and was even a Foundation cultivator, he still dared to take his life immediately upon saying it, in a mere instant. Such bold spiritedness, was definitely not what any regular noble family could possibly possess!

The "Ghost Doctor" had naturally also been able to see, much less the City Lord. He had similarly been greatly taken aback by the red clothed youth's moment of merciless viciousness but despite that, the harder it was to win the prize, all the more his heart yearned even deeper for it.

It had initially just been because of the red clothed youth's extraordinarily handsome looks and impressive air that elicited his predatory curiosity but now, his interest had truly been piqued.

Within the arena, Feng Jiu narrowed her eyes and swept her gaze over the lifeless and dead elderly man, then passing fleetingly over the highly twisted and contorted Young Master Liu as she snorted in disdain. She then swung her eyes to stare into the surroundings, her cold clear voice imbued with a chill as it rang out.

"Who else wants to stop this Young Master here from leaving? You can just come stand out here!"

When that clear and chilly voice tinged with a sharp edge fell into the ears of everyone around the arena, they all looked at the youth with a complicated look in their eyes, but not a single one among them dared to go stop him.

[You've got to be kidding! Even a Foundation cultivator had been taken out in a second and he wants them to go stop him? Wouldn't that be dancing to the rhythm of courting death?]

The Famed Cloud Loft's middle aged man just stood there and looked at Feng Jiu, but no longer said anything at that moment.

It was already no longer something that the Famed Cloud Loft could afford to stick their hands in and interfere anymore. The Liu Family's Young Master completely crippled and the Liu Family's Third Elder killed in one move. News of this matter would reach the Liu Family very soon and at that time.....

Thinking about that, his eyes flashed with a glint. [Just how capable was this youth? What kind of backing did he hold behind him? That he dared to kill the Liu Family's Third Elder immediately after saying he would!]

[Wasn't he afraid of the Liu Family's wrath? Doesn't he fear that the Liu Family would come after him for his life?]

CHAPTER 246: Liu Family's Raging Fury

And what they did not know was that in the Liu Manor, an old man with an expression highly aghast was running towards the main house, shouting as he ran: "Family Head! Family Head! Big trouble! Woe has befallen!"

The old man's voice rang out through the Liu Manor, attracting the attention of the people within as they came out to see what was the matter.

Meanwhile in the main courtyard, the Liu Family Head was conversing with two of his Elders and when he heard the voice outside, he was rather startled.

"It sounds like that is Old Fourth's voice?" One of the Elders opened his mouth to say, as he glanced at the Family Head upon the principal seat and then continued: "I will go out to have a look."

However, he had just stood up and had not even gone out through the doors when a figure came hastily running in.

"Family Head, big trouble! Third Elder's life light has been snuffed out!"

The moment those words came out, the faces of the three men in the room immediately changed drastically.

"What? How is that possible! ?"

The three men chorused in unison, their voices filled with incredulity and utter shock.

"It's really has been snuffed out! Just a little while ago! His longevity light had really put out! And, Eldest Young Master's longevity light is barely fluttering in a flicker, I'm afraid his situation is dire!"

Upon hearing those words, the Liu Family Head took wide strides outside as he shouted with a great voice: "Guards! Guards! Where did Third Elder and the Eldest Young Master go? Does anyone knows?"

The voice reverberated within the manor, and a guard came running up in haste to report.

"Reporting to Family Head. The guards who followed Eldest Young Master out came back to say that Eldest Young Master met with trouble in the Famed Cloud Loft earlier and Third Elder happened to hear it when he was in the front courtyard where he then rushed to go there immediately."

Hearing that, the Family Head's face darkened and he immediately said to the three Elders behind him: "I'll go to the Famed Cloud Loft first and you men bring men to surround the place. The person who killed Third Elder must not be allowed to escape!"

"Yes!" The three Elders acknowledged quickly. Seeing the Family Head summon his Qi to jump outside with a great leap, they immediately hurried to gather up men to rush their way towards the Famed Cloud Loft.....

- Famed Cloud Loft -

Under everyone's eyes, the flamboyant and highly eye catching Feng Jiu then came over to Old White's side and patted its head to say: "Old White, let's go."

This time, everyone could only watch the red clothed youth hold the horse reins as he went walking to the outside of the arena, no one daring to stop him. Even the Famed Cloud Loft's manager just stood in his spot as he watched the youth leave before his eyes.

Because he knew that there was no need for him to stop the youth, as he would not be able to get out from the place anyway.

Everyone looked at him leading the fat horse by the reins to walk out from the arena, to go outside, stepping out under the Famed Cloud Loft's main doors.

Almost everyone was following behind him. Having killed the Liu Family's Third Elder and crippled the Liu Family's Young Master, would this youth really still be able to walk out from this place alive?

Just as Feng Jiu was about to leave, a faraway roar filled with fury tore through the air as it came in close, imbued with a powerful oppression in assault.

"Who dares to kill the Liu Family's Elder! ? Come out here this instant!"

Rage that rocked the Heavens accompanied by the powerful oppression was released together with that roar. In an instant, even the air felt like it had congealed a little. That dense and oppressive aura and that ear shattering roar made all the citizens outside the Famed Cloud Loft retreat and flee, fearful that they would be implicated in a moment of carelessness.

At the same time that the Liu Family Head arrived, the three Elders lagging behind came rushing in with close to a hundred guards, the ferocious team of men causing the hawkers and common citizens on the street to open up a wide path for them.

The originally bustling street suddenly turned quiet with the sudden scene descending upon them, everyone holding their breaths as they watched in shock and fear the Liu Family's team of guards gathering before the Famed Cloud Loft before they quickly split two ways to go around the sides of the place, to fully surround the Famed Cloud Loft.

CHAPTER 247: Lay Down Your Life!

Almost at the very same instant, everyone's eyes all fell upon the red clothed youth, that was holding the reins of the fat horse, who was standing in front of the Famed Cloud Loft. At that moment, even though they all did not know the youth at all, did not know who he was, the people still broke out in a bout of cold sweat for him.

Some of them even secretly admired the red clothed youth for the steady composure and courage he was showing as if it had been anyone else in his place, seeing the size of the force the Liu Family had brought out would surely have caused the person to become paralysed with fear.

"Who is the one who killed my Liu Family's Elder! ? Bring your sorry self out here!"

The Liu Family Head's malicious and menacing voice rang out once again, his fierce and piercing gaze staring right inside the Famed Cloud Loft. At that moment, he had not once thought that the red clothed youth holding the reins of the fat horse standing right before the Famed Cloud Loft with a calm and composed demeanor was the very person who killed his Liu Family's Third Elder.

Hence, even when he noticed that everyone's eyes were fixed upon the red clothed youth at that moment, he did not even consider in that direction. Afterall, the Third Elder was already a Foundation cultivator, how could he possibly be killed by a youth still smelling of breast milk?

Then, from within the Famed Cloud Loft, a middle aged man dressed in a lavish brocade robe came walking out, and it was the Famed Cloud Loft's owner, Cao Mu.

Although the Famed Cloud Loft was just one building, but the kind of might they held was close to that of a mid level Family Clan and it was because of that that no one dared to go create trouble in the Famed Cloud Loft as afterall, the power held by a mid level Family Clan was still highly terrifying.

Cao Mu who came walking out cast a quick glance at the red clothed youth and then went on to clasp a hand over his fist in greeting to the Liu Family Head to say: "Family Head Liu, I trust you've been well."

"Proprietor Cao, I do not have the leisure to exchange pleasantries today. You tell me, who is the one who killed my clan's Third Elder? And how is my son now! ?"

Family Head Liu asked with a highly darkened face, his piercing gaze upon the figure of Cao Mu fixedly, not allowing the slightest reaction to escape his eyes.

"Will the Young Master here please answer to Family Head Liu now! ?" Cao Mu said, looking at Feng Jiu.

And at the same time that Proprietor Cao's words came out, Family Head Liu stared with his eyes wide with shock as he pointed at the red clothed youth holding the reins of that obese horse in rage to utter: "He's the killer?"

Feng Jiu stole a glance at Cao Mu and then went on to say to the Family Head Liu in front, her clear voice imbued with a chill.

"I killed him, so what?"

[I killed him, so what?]

[I killed him, so what?]

A blast went off in everyone's mind, finding it all just too incredulous.

[Had the youth gone mad? He actually dares to utter such words right in front of Family Head Liu, does he really not fear death?]

Not just Family Head Liu did not believe it, even the three Elders standing at the side felt that it was unimaginable. Because the youth's power was clear for them to see, and he wasn't even a Foundation cultivator, so how could he possibly be able to kill the Third Elder who was already at the Foundation level's fourth stage?

But despite that, the expression of everyone around and Cao Mu's words were all clearly saying that it was this red clothed youth who had killed their Liu Family's Third Elder!

Moreover, this youth had also said it himself. He had killed the Third Elder, so what? He had already admitted to it himself, but they still found it hard to believe.

How did he kill the Third Elder? How could a youth whose spirit power cultivation was only at the Grand Spirit Master level be able to kill a Foundation cultivator?

At that moment, the highly contorted Young Master Liu who had been twisted up into a ball was carried out by people.

When he saw the state his own son had been turned into, Family Head Liu's fiery rage could no longer be suppressed. Like a enraged ferocious lion, his rage burst forth and a powerful oppressive aura and menacing Qi surged from his body to all rush straight towards the red clothed youth in assault.

"Imperious little fool! Lay down your life!"

CHAPTER 248: A Meeting of Blades

Seeing the Liu Family's Head's hand clenched into a fist that was imbued with a chilling aura coming straight at her in assault, Feng Jiu's gaze narrowed and the spirit power upon her body was quickly channeled into her hand to block his attack. Two fists collided and the loud crashes resounded as terrifying Qi whistled through the air from the clash.

The surrounding air had turned highly oppressive due to the spirit powers surging from within the bodies of the two people and seeing that the red clothed youth was actually not being disadvantaged in the battle with Family Head Liu, the spectating crowd was silently taken aback in astonishment.

The Liu Family's Head was a Foundation cultivator at the sixth stage and not to mention that a single stage's difference in the cultivation of Immortality would already crush a person to death but with the fact that the red clothed youth was merely at the level of a Grand Spirit Master, it was still very rare to see that a person at such a young age could possibly attained such a level of cultivation.

But, with the weak pitted against the powerful and not be defeated, it was something completely impossible. However, at that very moment.....

'Bam!'

The fists of the two people smashed into each other, two separate streams of Qi surged from their fists in a powerful clash, the spirit aura forming into a spirit stream of Qi that became visible to the eye around their fists, and it was from that terrifying clash of the two streams of Qi that the two people were thrown back several steps.

Family Head Liu went backpedaling backwards several steps before he managed to steady himself, his heart secretly astounded. [This youth was able to block my attack? That had to be true, if he didn't possess some skill, how could he possibly have been able to kill my Liu Family's Third Elder?]

Thrown back a few steps, Feng Jiu relaxed the grip of her fist as she turned her hand at the wrist to relieve the pain from the clash, her clear eyes narrowed. With that exchange of blows earlier, she had gained a rough understanding of Family Head Liu's powers.

Although her spirit powers were not equal to her opponent's, she won out with her strange and crafty moves, making it difficult for the opponent to kill her, and it was also not entirely impossible for her to kill her opponent as well.

Hadn't that elderly Foundation cultivator earlier died under her hands as well?

What she needed to consider now was if she managed to kill this Family Head Liu, how was she going to be able to get out of here in one piece? Afterall, there were limits to one lone person's abilities and she would not be able to deal with consecutive battles in succession against the whole Family Clan with her current powers.

"Looks like I have underestimated you!"

Family Head Liu said in a deep voice. He had initially not drawn out his weapon and at that moment, he pulled the weapon out.

His hand stretched out and a bright glint flashed as a long sword shaped like a crooked willow glinting chillingly appeared in his hand. At the moment he pulled out that sword, gasps of shock broke out from the surrounding crowd.

"Whoa! That is the Liu Family's treasured heirloom, the Willow Leaf Sword!"

"That is a superior grade spirit artifact and using it in battle would raise one's powers not just by any tiny bit!"

"Isn't Family Head Liu going a bit too far! ? The opponent is afterall just a little young youth. Not only is he older than the youth, his cultivation is stronger as well! On top of all that, he has now even brought out the Willow Leaf, that is just blatantly outright bullying!"

"What do all of you know? That youth killed the Liu Family's Third Elder and that is a slap upon the Liu Family's face. If as the Family Head he comes to be defeated by that young youth, how could the Liu Family continue to have any footing in the Six Path City?"

Surrounding voices raised up in debate continued on, everyone throwing in their opinion to join in with the excitement. Seeing the scene before them, many people shook their head in their hearts to think: [This young youth will surely have to leave his life behind here today.]

Feng Jiu's gaze fell upon the Willow Leaf at that moment, the spirit aura pulsating around the sword's body showing that it was no ordinary sword. But she knew that compared to the Blue Edge, this sword before her was far inferior.

But it was not appropriate to bring out the Blue Edge in such a situation and hence, she pulled out her dagger.

"Hahahaha! Impudent little imp! You are taking me on with that tiny little dagger?"

The corners of Feng Jiu's mouth curled up slightly to reveal a devilishly cold smile before she said: "Against you, a dagger is more than enough!"

CHAPTER 249: Blooming Blood Blossom!

Once those words came out, everyone gasped loudly a long cold breath as they thought to themselves: [This youth, is just so unbelievably arrogant!]

When Family Head Liu heard those words, his face darkened, seemingly highly angered as a sinister aura burst forth, imbuing the Willow Leaf in his hand with spirit power. The surge of Qi swirled along the sword and whistled out, the malicious wave of Qi like slivers of ice blades, causing the people standing a little closer to him to unconsciously retreat back a few steps.

"I would really like to see, how a kid like you can have the right to be so arroga....."

He had not even finished his words when he was completely stopped, like his throat had been caught in someone's grip, unable to utter out the rest of his words. His face turned so dark and malicious that it was terrifying to see, his rage filled gaze locked tightly upon that damned youth who had made a move while he was unprepared!

Because the youth had struck so suddenly, and because his movements were so unexpectedly fast, by the time Family Head Liu was able to react, he was already seeing the chilling glint of dagger closing in to his throat. At that very moment, Family Head Liu's heart jumped, suddenly feeling a tingle of terror and shock that he should not be feeling.

The hand holding the sword then instinctively raised up to block, and it had only barely been able to block that dagger slashing straight towards his throat, but did not have time to block the next thrust of the dagger that was flipped over which suddenly changed it direction straight towards his arm.

'Swish!'

The vicious strike was lightning quick and precise, a single thrust straight to the bone. Bright red blood flew in a splatter in that instant, accompanied by Family Head Liu's gasp in surprise, and the mournful cry of the surrounding Liu Family Clan members!

"Ooh!"

"Family Head!"

Seeing the blood spurting out from their Family Head's arm, it quickly stained his entire sleeve red. That arm hung at his side from the injury, trembling slightly. Blood dripped from his fingertips onto the ground, giving bloom to many blossoms of bright red plum.....

"I've said it, against you, a dagger is more than enough!"

Feng Jiu who had already retreated back a few steps had her eyes narrowed, the corners of her mouth curled up in a menacing arc, like she was in a rather good mood as she stared at Family Head Liu who had his arm hanging down at his side as blood continued to drip from it.

Just as everyone was still startled by the youth's highly unorthodox movements and viciousness, they were then made to hear him say in a highly languid voice that was tinged with a tone of admiration, his unbelievably maddening words causing the corners of people's mouth to be helpless but twitch in teeth clenching anger.

"Those blood blossoms blooming up upon the ground are so beautiful! So devilish and bloodthirsty looking! Family Head Liu, don't cha think?"

She looked smilingly with her eyes narrowed at Family Head Liu whose face was so dark it almost dripped ink, seeing him glare back with his eyes fixed upon her, like she had done something absolutely unpardonable to him, which made Feng Jiu unable to help herself but curl up the edges of her lips, to smile in delight.

"Have him killed for me!"

Family Head Liu clenched his jaws hard, to order sinisterly.

The three Elders at the side immediately acknowledged and just as they were about to make their move, they heard a deep and authouritative voice reach them.

"Hold it!"

Someone had suddenly voiced out to stop them. Everyone there was well taken aback, all of them turning to gaze towards where the voice had come from. With that glance, everyone immediately greeted respectfully.

"City Lord."

The surrounding crowd quickly opened up a path for him, surprised that the City Lord would actually be here, and many of the pairs of eyes quickly shifted upon the red clothed man standing beside the City Lord.

Many of the people present were members and disciples of the nobility in the city with some others well informed cultivators. They had already heard that the Ghost Doctor had come to the Six Path City and he was received by the City Lord himself. Immediately upon seeing the masked red clothed man at this moment, they were all inadvertently guessing whether that man was the Ghost Doctor himself?

Once that idea took root, everyone's gazes turned probing and gauging as they all fell upon the figure of the red clothed man.

CHAPTER 250: The Real and Fake Ghost Doctor

And the gaze of that red clothed man instead fell onto the equally flamboyant red clothed figure of Feng Jiu.

When Feng Jiu whose eyes were fixed upon Family Head Liu felt a burning gaze staring right at her, she instinctively her head to look in that direction. When her gaze saw that man dressed in red clothes and wearing a mask with mandara print, her eyebrow arched up slightly.

When she saw the man looking at her with that vulgar and lecherous gaze, her eyes turned chill. When she initially came to the Six Path City, she had heard that there was a Ghost Doctor here, but she had not thought that she would encounter him today.

From the look of things, he seemed to be a licentious lecher and also had a broken sleeve habit.

Her gaze then shifted to fall upon the figure of the City Lord, measuring him up discreetly. It was said that the Six Path City's City Lord had just advanced to the next level recently, breaking through the bottleneck that he had not been able to breakthrough to for a very long time, to become a Complete Foundation cultivator, a single step away from becoming a Golden Core cultivator.

Family Head Liu's face that had been grim with rage immediately had his eyes shine with delight upon seeing the City Lord and the masked man dressed in red clothes and he immediately gave voice to his query.

"City Lord, could this gentleman possibly be the esteemed Ghost Doctor who had recently shot to great fame?"

"That's right. It's the Ghost Doctor himself."

City Lord Chang nodded his head, and glanced at the man beside him. The moment his words came out, the surrounding crowd immediately grew excited.

"The Ghost Doctor? It's really the Ghost Doctor? It is said that the Ghost Doctor is highly reclusive and I had not thought he had actually come to our Six Path City."

"That's right! I heard that the Ghost Doctor's medicine is almost like divine medicine, showing effects the moment you take it. If anyone had managed to get a bottle of medicine to advance one's cultivation level, I will not hesitate to pay a sky high price to get my hands on it!"

"It's true. I heard that the City Lord only broke through to the Complete Foundation level after taking the Ghost Doctor's medicine and is just a step away from attaining the Golden Core. If I can, I will also like to beg for medicine from the Ghost Doctor and I will pay however much money it costs!"

"In your dreams! Even my Family Clan was not able to get a turn and you think you will be able to get it? That is just not possible. Do you know what kind of connections the City Lord had had to pull before he was able to get that one bottle of medicine? The Ghost Doctor's medicine is something that can't be bought with money alone."

Upon seeing the Ghost Doctor appear, all the surrounding members of noble families began arguing. Some of them sent people to run speedily back to the clans, to report to the clan heads that the Ghost Doctor was now right in front of the Famed Cloud Loft.

And seeing everyone in the crowd looking at him with such adoring and excited gazes, the red clothed man then could not help but reveal a smile as he lifted his chin slightly, his own eyes showing a sense of superiority, revelling in the reverence and worship everyone was heaping onto him.

Watching that scene, Feng Jiu glanced at the red clothed man and curled up her lips to laugh in ridicule, filled with utter derision.

An imposter Ghost Doctor, and he still had the cheek to stand there so self absorbed in glee, thinking he all that great? How absolutely absurd!

However, that derisive laugh of hers had immediately drawn the anger of the surrounding crowd, especially Family Head Liu who was anxious to please the Ghost Doctor, who glared at Feng Jiu even more fiercely, to shout in a loud voice.

"Even before the City Lord and the Ghost Doctor, such an arrogant and puny one such as you dare to show such audacity? Men! Have him killed right this instant!"

"Family Head Liu, hold it a moment." The City Lord opened his mouth to say, halting everyone in their tracks.

"City Lord, what do you mean by that?" Family Head Liu's face sank slightly, thinking that the City Lord was shielding the red clothed youth, and his tone of voice had turned similarly grim.

At that moment, the masked red clothed man came walking forward, to come right before Feng Jiu. Staring right at that flawlessly handsome countenance, the lust and excitement in his eyes could hardly be contained.

It was bad enough when he did not open his mouth, and the moment he did, it stunned everyone in the crowd, their eyes wide and their faces filled with incredulity.....

CHAPTER 251: I Get Impulsive Very Easily!

"What say you follow me? I can guarantee you will not have to worry for your life, and allow you free use of medicine."

Hearing those words, even Family Head Liu could not help but to turn his face that was completely flabbergasted to stare at the red clothed man, looking highly bewildered.

[What..... What do those words mean? Let the red clothed youth follow him? Follow him for what? Those words..... Were they all thinking too much into it?]

However, when everyone saw the masked Ghost Doctor's eyes looking at the red clothed youth with plain and undisguised lust, all of them could not help but felt like palming their face.

[Looks like they had not been thinking too much, but the Ghost Doctor really just meant that.

But, lusting over a that red clothed youth before everyone in public like this, the Ghost Doctor's actions was a little over the top.

And Feng Jiu who heard those words then gave a light laugh, her voice crisp and pleasing to the ear. But listening to it carefully, one could hear the cold chill and murder in her voice.

But seeing her toy with the dagger in her hand as she raised up an eyebrow slightly to glance at the red clothed man, her voice was tinged with three parts ridicule and seven parts lazy as she asked.

"And who are you?"

"I am the Ghost Doctor, and also a medicine concoctionist. If you come with me. The benefits you'll get will be unimaginable."

His blatantly lecherous gaze was fixed unwaveringly straight upon Feng Jiu, his eyes shifting downwards bit by bit, lingering over Feng Jiu's body. That gaze was highly invasive and it was highly displeasing.

Feng Jiu curled up her lips and looked at the almost drooling "Ghost Doctor", a chill glint passing over her eyes as a mesmerizing smile blossomed on that flawlessly handsome face and her demeanor seemingly a little bashful as she said: "Don't look at me with such eyes, I get impulsive very easily."

The moment those words came out, the faces of everyone in the crowd were all stunned, staring in shock that the red clothed youth would act in such a manner, with that kind of a tone and such words in reply to the Ghost Doctor's words.

Could..... Could the red clothed youth possibly mean the same thing?

Meanwhile at that very same moment, inside a residential courtyard within the Six Path City, Shadow One was in a fluster as he came rushing in shouting: "My Lord! My Lord! Big trouble!"

Grey Wolf stopped him and asked anxiously: "What happened? Didn't you go out to investigate into the Ghost Doctor's location? Why have you come back so soon?"

"I did! That's why I'm saying there's big trouble!" Shadow One pushed him away as he asked: "Is the Lord in the room?"

"Yup, he has not come out all this while."

Grey Wolf replied, and could not help himself but to ask: "What really happened?"

Shadow One did not reply but went on to shout at the tightly shut door: "My Lord! The Ghost Doctor's in trouble! Someone wants to kill him!"

At almost the same moment his voice fell, the door was pulled open and the Hell's Lord in a full black robe appeared before the two men's eyes, a dominating aura emanating from his entire body.

But seeing his dark and grim face, his gaze chillingly absorbing as it fell upon the figure of Shadow One, he asked: "What happened?"

"As your subordinate was worried about my Lord, I specially went out to investigate into it and I was on my way back when I heard news that the Ghost Doctor had appeared at the Famed Cloud Loft together with the Six Path City's City Lord and something seemed to have happened at the Famed Cloud Loft."

He cast a glance at the Hell's Lord and then continued to say: "A red clothed youth had killed the city's Liu Family's Third Elder and the Liu Family led a large group of men to surround the Famed Cloud Loft completely, saying that they want to slaughter the red clothed youth. According to what the common citizens had described, your subordinate is guessing that the red clothed youth should be the Ghost Doctor!"

"What? Slaughter the Ghost Doctor?"

Grey Wolf cried out in surprise when he saw the shade on the Lord's face change and in the very next instant, the Lord had leapt away, out from the place.

CHAPTER 252: A Gory Scene

*Translator Note: the title says it! Gore in this chapter. Avoid this chapter if you are averse to such literature~

The two men suddenly realized what had happened and they immediately snapped back to their senses to speed off to catch up!

Slaughter the Ghost Doctor? This Family Head Liu was being just too bold. Isn't he afraid their Lord will annihilate his entire clan?

Because the speed their Lord had moved at had been extremely fast, there was no sign of him in just a blink. Hence, Grey Wolf opened his mouth to ask: "Shadow One, why had the Ghost Doctor gone running to the Famed Cloud Loft? Did you find out what happened between him and our Lord?"

"Why he went to the Famed Cloud Loft, I do not know. I only know that that kid, the Ghost Doctor is really just too bold and audacious. He actually dug a huge haul out of the Lord and then gave him the slip. I am guessing that the Lord's identity has been discovered by the kid."

"What? Dug a huge haul out of our Lord?"

Grey Wolf exclaimed in shock: "Little wonder the Lord's face almost stank to high Heavens! So he was scammed by the Ghost Doctor?"

Shadow One lamented in similar surprise: "That's right! I can't help but take my hat off to that kid. He is the only person who is still able to live to hop around everywhere after having taken advantage of the Lord so many times. I really don't know from where this strange marvel really popped out from, but his ability to survive is truly strong."

Just as the Hell's Lord, Shadow One and Grey Wolf were rushing towards the Famed Cloud Loft, right before the main doors of the Famed Cloud Loft, the atmosphere was growing heavy and seemingly starting to congeal.

The faces of everyone there had turned an ugly shade from hearing the red clothed youth's bashful reply and demeanor when he uttered those highly suggestive and shameless words. Of course, with the exception of one single person.

The mask wearing "Ghost Doctor" had become highly excited from Feng Jiu's words and when he saw the devilishly alluring smile blossoming from the ends of the youth's mouth upon that flawlessly handsome countenance, he unconsciously strode over to come right in front of the youth, his unwavering gaze filled with pure and blatant sinister excitement as he looked at the youth.

The youth's enchanting mannerisms made his heart thump wild and hot, a warm surge rising up in his chest and he could not stop himself from reaching his hand out towards the youth's hip in an embrace. " Since you are willing..... ARRRGH!"

He had not even finished his words when rising up in its place was a sudden and pitiful howl. The sound was high pitched and shrill, which tore right through the tranquility in the air, shattering the silence, reaching the ears of everyone there loud and clear, which also awoken the stunned crowd with a shock!

"Arrgh!"

"Ooo....."

"Eee.....!"

Cries and surprise and shock immediately erupted all around, the situation turning slightly chaotic, with some of them even clasped their hands to their mouths as they shook and shivered.

Everyone was staring at that vicious and bloodthirsty scene as blood dripped, a chill running through them that caused them to retreat back a few steps, struck with terror as they stared in fear at the devilish youth with a mesmerizingly sinister expression on his face.

"I told you not to look at me with that kind of eyes or I might become rash easily but you do not believe me."

The handsome youth who stood facing into the wind had an highly alluring but chillingly cold demeanor, a bloodthirsty murderous aura emanating from his body. However, the words he spoke sounded so helplessly and naively innocent.

But what terrified everyone so completely at that moment was not the murderous aura coming out from his body, but was due to his finger that was dripping with blood.....

Everyone's eyes had been fixed upon the red clothed youth and the Ghost Doctor all this time. Hence, they had also seen the red clothed youth swipe off the Ghost Doctor's mask before he went straight on to dig out the Ghost Doctor's eyes completely and threw them onto the ground.....

He..... He actually dug out the Ghost Doctor's eyes!

The vicious and utterly merciless move and the fact that it had happened so suddenly that no one could even stop him in time made everyone tremble and shake as they were made to witness such a gory and cruel scene that happened right before their eyes.....

"ARRGH..... My eyes..... my eyes..... I will kill you! I will kill you!"

The "Ghost Doctor" had his hand clasped over his eyes that were just flowing with blood as he screamed, and when he put his hand down, people were unable to help themselves but started retching.....

CHAPTER 253: Watching from the Shadows

All that everyone saw, upon that face dripping with blood, were two terrifyingly gory holes, without its mask to cover it. The maniacal expression on his face fell into everyone's eyes, and with those two blood spewing holes staring vacantly, it made everyone unable to help themselves but tremble.

Fortunately this had happened in the day. If it had been at night, it would have scared people to death.

He was lunging all around maniacally, and it was not known from where he had pulled out a dagger from as he waved it around him in madness, the sharp whistle of the pointed edge whizzing through the air stinging the people's ears.

No one surrounding the place moved a muscle, without a single person stepping forward, hopelessly stunned into paralysed shock by the scene, terror struck by the youth's vicious ways.

That was the Ghost Doctor! The Ghost Doctor whose fame had recently soared high into the skies! And..... And that kid had actually dug out both the Ghost Doctor's eyes!

That scenario was something nobody could have expected to see. And the Ghost Doctor who had lost his pair of eyes was now blind. Regardless how skilled he was at concocting medicine, all that was now all in vain.....

"I'll kill you! Kill you! Kill you....."

He waved his dagger haphazardly everywhere, but was suddenly kicked to fall onto the ground by Feng Jiu.

'Bam!'

"Ugh!"

Smashed onto the ground, he cried out in pain, howling pitifully but no one went forward to prop him up or offer any help. Because everyone knew at that moment, that even if he was the Ghost Doctor, he had become completely worthless.

Just as he was screaming like a lunatic as he attempted to climb to his feet, a foot stepped down upon his back, pushing him back to squirm on the ground.

"Aren't you the Ghost Doctor? What? That's all you have?"

The light sounding voice was tinged with a chill as it came out from her mouth. With just one foot, she was able to make the person on the ground unable to get up.

"AHH! ARRRGH!"

He struggled, and he screamed, but the darkness before him and the frantic panic from being helpless to change anything caused him to fall right into lunacy, as he summoned up all the spirit energy within his body, with the intention to implode his body to drag Feng Jiu down together with him in death.

But when the spirit energy upon his body surged, Feng Jiu detected that something was not right and she had immediately pushed her mystical power out from one hand to lift the person upon the ground into the air with a mighty fling. Just as he was flung high up into the air, an explosive bang rang out, accompanied by a falling scatter of gruesome flesh and blood.....

And hidden within the dark shadows, was Grey Wolf and Shadow One who had arrived at the scene for a while who found themselves taking a big gulp, their faces showing nothing but shock.

[Oh my mother!]

[Never thought that the Ghost Doctor would be so brutal. When he lashes out he really doesn't hold back at all does he?]

Seeing the fake Ghost Doctor having his eyes dug out and dying by self induced bodily implosion, Grey Wolf patted himself over his wildly thumping heart as he thought to himself: [The Ghost Doctor had been merciful to him back then. If the kid had wanted to be vicious, he might have already met with the same fate this fake Ghost Doctor had just fallen into.]

At that moment, he was feeling truly fortunate that he had not continued to antagonize the kid. Otherwise, he would not have been weakened for just a few days back then, but might very well have been completely sliced!

And Shadow One was instead looking worriedly at his Lord who was similarly hiding on one side like them. He thought to himself: [The Ghost Doctor possessed such great skill and his ways were just so brutal and vicious. If the Lord and the kid really comes to be together, it might not be all that safe at all!]

[Moreover, with the Ghost Doctor so prone to such violence, how could the Lord be able to suppress him? From the way things looked, the Lord could very possibly become the one below.]

As those thoughts went through his mind, Shadow One glanced over at the Hell's Lord and asked in a suppressed whisper: "My Lord, we're really not going to show ourselves?" [Just hiding themselves here, was it really a good idea?]

"See how things play out first."

The Hell's Lord's deep unfathomable gaze fell upon that flamboyant and mesmerizing red figure. It might be because this was the first time he was seeing that side of her, and hence, he wanted to gain a better understanding of the her he did not know about.

CHAPTER 254: Execute on the Spot

[Having only known that she was sly and eccentric before, and crafty like a fox, it was now discovered that she also had such a chillingly vicious side as well. So why does it seem that he is growing to like what he sees more and more?]

The deep penetrating black eyes were overflowing with gentleness, the thin sexy lips curling up with an imperceptible smile. His gaze was fixed upon that red clothed figure as he watched her wilfully take down her enemy with a big show of her skills in public.

This side of her, held unmatchable magnificence, so confident of herself, shining in absolute brilliance, and it was hard for him to take his eyes off her.

Shadow One's sharp eyes caught his Lord staring at the Ghost Doctor with so much gentleness in his gaze that it gave him goosebumps and he could not help but shiver with a chill.

The taste of his Lord was just so different with everyone else, that he could show such a soft gaze upon a scene like this. Shadow One really had to respect the Hell's Lord for that.

And in front of the Famed Cloud Loft, everyone was starting to recover from the shock of all that blood and gore as they stared angrily at the wilful and arrogant red clothed youth. Among them, Family Head Liu then shouted in rage.

"This kid is just too vicious and has a venomous heart. He must not be allowed to live! Hand him to me and I'll execute him on the spot!"

The grim voice was imbued with powerful oppression and filled with murder as it reached the people and at almost that very same moment, the three Elders of the Liu Family immediately surrounded the red clothed youth standing there, the three of them forming an attack triangle as robust spirit energies swirled around their bodies. In the next instant, they gave a low shout and attacked the red clothed youth in the middle at the same time.

The strikes of the three Elders were highly aggressive as murder emanated out from their bodies to fill up the air around them. Streams of Qi whizzed out, chilling blades of wind that sliced through the air straight towards the red clothed youth.

Feng Jiu's eyes narrowed as she summoned up the spirit powers in her to face the attacks from the three men, the dagger gripped in her hand slashing through the malicious sword's Qi whizzing straight towards her. With strange bodily movements coupled with crafty attacks, she slipped herself through to come beside the three Elders.

When the people in the crowd saw the Liu Family's three Foundation level Elders had surrounded the red clothed youth to deal with him, everyone could not help but gulped heavily, their hearts cringing up tightly.

The three Foundation level Elders struck viciously, seeking to kill with every move. Could the red clothed youth possibly be able to dodge them?

Seeing the three Elders from the Liu Family jumping out to take on the Ghost Doctor alone, Shadow One was rather worried as he suppressed his voice to ask the Lord: "My Lord, aren't the people from the Liu Family just too shameless? Besides bullying the Ghost Doctor by outnumbering her, they've even brought out three Foundation level old men! Do we need to go help? If it continues on like this, the Ghost Doctor might very well be wounded by them."

[That was afterall the person in the Lord's heart, they couldn't possibly stand back to watch the kid get wounded by others right?]

The Hell's Lord narrowed his eyes and stared at the scene before him, not saying a word, nor making any indication.

It was Grey Wolf who instead said in a hushed voice: "Shadow One, that is something you do not have to worry about. Those three Foundation old men are not the Ghost Doctor's match. You just watch and see! It will not be long that those three men will fall to the ground."

He paused for a moment before he continued: "Moreover, even if there's danger, with our Lord here, the Lord will not allow the Ghost Doctor to be harmed. So, it's better that we just watch for now. Don't tell me you are not curious just how powerful the Ghost Doctor really is?"

Having the kid slip away from right under their noses time and time again, it was really shameful on them. He really wanted to take this opportunity to have a good look and see just where the Ghost Doctor's limits lay, so he would not have to continue to suffer such unspeakable grievances at the kid's hands.

And he was of the mind that those three Foundation level old men would not be able to hurt the Ghost Doctor at all.

CHAPTER 255: Sneak Attack from the Back!

Hearing those words, Shadow One cast a glance at the Lord. Seeing that the Lord did not say anything, it meant that the Lord agreed with Grey Wolf, hence, he did not say anything as well, but merely paid attention to the battle in front.

Having been worried that the Ghost Doctor would be defeated by those three Foundation leveled old men, looking at it now, he discovered that the three bodies of the three old men had already been wounded in many places by the Ghost Doctor's dagger, looking more and more wretched as the battle wore on. In stark contrast, there wasn't a single nick on the Ghost Doctor at all.

And it wasn't just him who noticed that. Even the entire crowd of people before the Famed Cloud Loft could see what was going on.

"Whoa! Could it be the red clothed youth's powers is not just at the Grand Spirit Master level?"

"Impossible! The aura on his body shows that he merely possess powers at the Grand Spirit Master level, but it's just that the bodily movements the kid makes is just too strange, and the martial arts he executes is highly unique. I have never seen such a queer form of attacks in martial arts and I am guessing that that could be martial arts from the higher levels of power."

"Martial arts from the higher levels of power? How is that even possible? It is said that throughout our Six Path City, only the City Lord has ever gotten his hands upon a scroll with a superior grade martial arts manual. How could a young youth like that possibly possess something so highly precious?"

"I've been saying from the beginning that the youth was from uncommon background and you all just refused to believe me! Now do you see? If the Liu Family's people are still not going to stop, I think they might all have to leave their lives behind here today."

"Looks like the Liu Family has stubbed their toe into a solid metal plate this time. Not able to take down the youth but have instead lost several of the clan's pillars of strength. If even these three Elders are to all be killed, then the Liu Family Clan's position as a mid leveled family will be reduced to that of a small Family Clan after this."

"Argh!"

A mournful cry suddenly sounded, startling everyone so much their hearts cringed and they turned their eyes onto the few combatants in front. They saw one of the elderly men falling to the ground after being sent flying out with a kick, his body shivering incessantly and howls of agony started coming out from his mouth.

"Oww! It hurts so much! Oww....."

Seeing that scene, Family Head Liu was rather bewildered and he got men to go help that Elder back. "Second Elder, where are you hurt?"

Family Head Liu scanned the Elder up and down, seeing that besides for some superficial wounds upon his body, he did not see any other kind of injury. But the Second Elder's face was deathly pale, pain driving him to be bathed in cold sweat all over, which made Family Head Liu unable to help himself but be startled.

"My..... my body hurts. It hurts everywhere... Ouch! Oww....." The Second Elder clenched his teeth, but was unable to endure it any longer, as he fell to ground to roll around in agony.

"Argh!"

At that moment, Fourth Elder was slashed on the back by the dagger, the wound so deep one could see the bone. Bright crimson blood surged out, staining his grey robe red.

Seeing Fourth Elder staggering backwards with faltering and unsteady steps in retreat, the expression on Family Head Liu's face finally changed drastically. He saw that not only Fourth Elder was wounded on his back, but even the First Elder's body was covered in wounds as well, giving him no choice but to go before the City Lord.

"City Lord, this kid is highly vicious and merciless. He has not only killed men from my Liu Family, he has even killed the Ghost Doctor. Is the City Lord really going to just stand back and not bother with it at all?"

Hearing those words, the City Lord who had originally not wanted to stick his nose into this matter suddenly creased up his brows. Casting a glance upon Family Head Liu, he then turned his gaze upon the vicious youth with extraordinary fighting prowess to say: "You men have already gone three on one against him and since you are still unable to capture him, then just let him go!"

The Ghost Doctor was already dead and this youth must have come from an extraordinary background. Why should he go offend the youth who possessed such shocking battle prowess over a dead man?

Moreover, a person like this could not possibly not have any strong backing behind him and if he were to die here in the Six Path City, the kind of trouble that would bring would surely be huge!

Seeing that the City Lord was not intending to bother, Family Head Liu gritted his teeth, his heart indignant with resentment. Seeing the red clothed youth battling the First Elder with his back facing him, Family Head Liu's eyes flashed with a malicious chilling glint and in the very next instant, his hand gripped the Willow Leaf and he it thrust out straight towards the red clothed youth's unprotected back with blinding speed!

"Die!"

CHAPTER 256: Another One Dead

Watching the entire scene, quite a number of people stared with eyes wide with shock, looking like they had never thought that the mighty Family Head Liu would stoop so low as to commit a sneak attack upon someone's back. The crowd of people present there, were all people of a certain status and position, who would think it beneath themselves to wound an opponent from his back, as even if they were to win, it would earn them nothing but disdain from people.

If one sought to win, the people would wish it to be where one defeated his opponent in a fair and proper fight, to take the enemy's life!

Hence, when Family Head Liu actually used such a despicable method before everyone's eyes, many of them shook their heads with a sigh after recovering from the initial shock, becoming highly disappointed with him.

There were also people who thought nothing of it, thinking that there wasn't anything wrong in doing that. In a situation where one was unable to defeat the enemy in a straight fight, as long as they were able to kill the opponent, any way that works was a good method and there was nothing inappropriate about his actions.

The Hell's Lord hidden in the shadows upon seeing that scene showed a slight darkening of his deep eyes, his gaze filled with murder as he stared at Family Head Liu who was carrying out the sneak attack with sword in hand, his thin lips stiff and he did not say a word.

But, the murder emanating out from his body and the dark ominous expression on his face already told Shadow One and Grey Wolf beside him that even if Family Head Liu did not die here today, it was thought he would definitely not live past the next few days!

He did not make any moves to help because they saw that the Ghost Doctor had reacted very quickly. He did not even need to turn his head back to notice the murderous aura surging from behind him and immediately retaliated.

'Clang!'

The sound of blades clashing was heard loud and clear, as bright fiery sparks flew from the friction between the blades, malicious Qi from the dagger clashing against the sword's Qi, giving out shrill whistling sounds.

The blades of the two people flashed and glinted as they weaved in battle, the intense speed they moved at only allowing the gathered crowd to see streaks of Qi from the blades shooting past as they fell to the ground, leaving deep slash marks cut into the ground.

And at that moment when the two people were locked in combat, the First Elder who had been pushed back in retreat then flipped his hands as his spirit powers surged, to form two formless wind blades and he slashed them fiercely right towards Feng Jiu's back.

Having once seen how shameless Family Head Liu had been, to now see their First Elder replicating those actions, nobody said anything about it this time.

However, it was also right at that moment that Feng Jiu summoned power into the tip of her foot as she kicked at Family Head Liu's sword wielding arm. The sharp crack of bones breaking sounded clearly and the Willow Leaf was sent flying out from that kick, to flip over in the air before it fell with a clatter to the ground.

"Ugh!"

Family Head Liu gasped in pain as he staggered backwards in retreat. Both his arms had sustained injuries and this time, it was no longer possible for him to continue to battle anymore.

At that moment, having just broken Family Head Liu's arm, Feng Jiu leapt up into the air, her graceful figure rising with enchanting grace, the flamboyant red clothes billowing out in the wind in mid air, the devilishly handsome countenance tinged with a bloodthirsty and mesmerizing smile. The blinding magnificence exuding from her in that instant, made everyone's eyes shine brightly, their hearts quaking from the amazing sight.....

What unmatchable magnificence this youth possess!

Just as everyone could not help themselves but secretly praise the youth in their hearts, the situation changed instantly in the next moment. The red clothed youth who made everyone's eyes shine suddenly shot the dagger out of her hand while in midair, and everyone heard a sharp swoosh tear right through the air before the dagger pierced right into the First Elder's throat with a thud!

"Ooh!"

Seeing the Liu Family's First Elder not even able to cry out before his body fell stiffly to the ground, his eyes wide open from aggrievement. Everyone involuntarily gave a loud gasp, their hearts suddenly rising with turbulent emotions, that refused to abate for quite a long while.....

"First Elder!"

Family Head Liu cried out in incredulous horror, unable to accept such an ending. He glared at the red clothed youth hatefully when suddenly, he looked up into the sky to laugh maniacally.

CHAPTER 257: Clan Sacred Beast Protector

"Hahahahaha!"

His booming laughter was imbued with powerful oppression that quaked everyone's eardrums a little painfully. That laughter suddenly stopped and his venomous gaze that was like a viper's stared straight at the red clothed youth, his voice coming out filled with intense murder.

"To be able to force my Liu Family Clan back to such an extent, you possess great capability indeed! But, I will definitely have you lay your life down here today, to quell the hatred boiling up in my heart!"

The moment his voice fell, he crushed a white jade talisman seal hanging from his hip and shouted out: "Cloud Devouring Beast!"

At almost the same instant that he crushed the white jade talisman seal, a beam of clear light shot up into the sky, and it was at that moment that right in front of the Liu Family's Manor's main doors, an enormous strange looking stone beast was suddenly making loud sounds of rock cracking, frightening the entire Liu Family Clan into a shocked frenzy.

"Oh no! There's trouble afoot! The stone beast outside our manor has cracked open!"

The sound spread throughout the Liu's Manor, the signs of cracking upon the stone beast sending quakes of terror throughout the Liu Family. When the old patriarch in the courtyard heard the commotion, his face turned pale from shock.

"Just what has happened? What kind of disaster could have befallen the family? Where's the Family Head? Get him to come see me quick!"

He shouted with a roar, as he carried his walking stick with him to rush towards the outside of the main doors, and a guard came forward to report.

"Old Master, the Family Head brought three of the Elders to the Famed Cloud Loft and had gotten into a fight with someone there."

"That rebellious son! What kind of powerful entity has he antagonized? That he needs to even mobilize my Liu Family's Clan Sacred Beast Protector! Is he trying to destroy the Liu Family's hundred year foundation! ?"

Old Patriarch Liu was so angry he thumped his walking stick hard on the ground as he shouted: "Quickly! Quickly go and invite our several granduncles, to go to the Famed Cloud Loft together!" Immediately upon saying that, he went outside in a hurry.

Coming outside, Old Patriarch Liu saw one of the two enormous stone beast statues outside the doors start to move with a rumble, as the stone beast that was originally in a sitting position stood up, and shook its body. Broken rock and gravel then spilled all over the ground, to reveal the stone beast original face.

"Roar!"

The ferocious roar tore through the Heaven's dome above, the powerful oppressive aura of the Sacred Beast spreading together with that ferocious roar, causing the entire Six Path City's people to quiver, leading the various clans and the commoners in the city to be shocked.

When the old patriarch just outside the Liu Manor's main doors saw the Clan Sacred Beast Protector showing its real face with a shake of its body, the strength seeped out from his legs and he fell limply to the ground to mutter: "It's over..... It's over....."

"Old Master!"

The legs of the accompanying guards were similarly shaking as they hurriedly held the old patriarch, their hearts highly astounded. They had never known that the stone beast statue outside the main doors was actually hiding such a magnificent and resplendent looking Sacred Beast!

Seeing the Sacred Beast for the first time, they were feeling the oppressive aura the Sacred Beast was exuding shaking them so badly that their faces turned pale, and the bodies started to shiver.

The Sacred Beast shook out its fur and stretched its limbs before snorting two streams of air through its nose, heavy with derision. It turned its head back to glance at the old Patriarch Liu and then went on to crouch its body down, before pushing off its hind legs in a leap, flying into the air towards the sky that was filled with light.

At that moment in front of the Famed Cloud Loft, everyone was just as highly astounded.

"Cloud..... Cloud Devouring Beast? Isn't that the Liu Family's Clan Sacred Beast Protector?"

"That is indeed the Liu Family's Clan Sacred Beast Protector. It is said that the Liu Family had leapt up to become a mid class family clan because of the Cloud Devouring Beast back then but it has been many years since anyone saw the Cloud Devouring Beast appear."

"Seeing that Family Head Liu had actually mobilized their Clan Sacred Beast Protector to kill the red clothed youth, it seems that if either one among the two of them doesn't lay his life down here today, today's crisis would never abate."

CHAPTER 258: Hell's Lord's Intervention

Meanwhile, Feng Jiu stared at the light shooting up into the sky, noticing the confidence in Family Head Liu's words, feeling a little puzzled.

If it was his contracted beast, why did it not appear immediately? But was instead waiting for it to appear? Could it be that the Cloud Devouring Beast he shouted out for earlier was not his contracted beast?

But if it was not his contracted beast, why would it heed his summons?

In the shadows, Grey Wolf said to the Hell's Lord: "My Lord, the Liu Family's Cloud Devouring Beast is a Sacred Beast level Spirit Beast. It is a contracted beast passed down from the Liu Family's ancestors. If the Ghost Doctor is pitted against it, chances are it will end up disastrous."

Hearing those words, the Hell's Lord's eyes glinted. Glancing at the red clothed figure, he ordered in a low voice: "The two of you keep watch here."

The moment his voice fell, he disappeared in an instant, his speed fast as a bolt of lightning. When Grey Wolf and Shadow One turned their heads, they already saw no sign of him.

"What do you think the Lord went off to do?" Grey Wolf asked, slightly taken aback.

Shadow One thought about it a moment before he said: "I am guessing he went to intercept and kill that Cloud Devouring Beast while it is on its way here."

Upon hearing that, a corner of Grey Wolf's mouth twitched, at a loss for words as he turned his head back to the front, to watch the red clothed figure before the Famed Cloud Loft before he said softly with a sigh: "The Lord really stops at nothing for the Ghost Doctor!"

With the powers their Lord possessed, not to mention just a mere Sacred Beast, even if it was to kill a Divine Beast it would just be a matter of a wave of his hand. But, what he had not expected was to kill a mere Sacred Beast, the Lord had actually gone to do it personally, leaving the two of them here to watch the bustling scene in leisure.

Tsk! Who asked the Lord to value the Ghost Doctor so much? He must have thought that they might fail in the task and he had left to go do it himself! It could only be said that it was the Sacred Beast's misfortune to encounter the Lord.

Who asked it to be the Liu Family's Clan Protector Sacred Beast out of so many other clans everywhere? To say that it was the Liu Family's Clan Protector Sacred Beast was completely fine, but it was that Family Head Liu who did not know who he was dealing with that actually dared to mobilize its Sacred Beast to come execute the Ghost Doctor. That had truly breached one of the Lord's biggest taboo.

As time passed, the crowd suddenly noticed that something wasn't quite right, where even Feng Jiu who was waiting to see what that Cloud Devouring Beast looked like could not help but arched up an eyebrow.

In the next instant, the red figure leapt and while Family Head Liu was gazing uneasily around in a fluster, Feng Jiu clutched at his throat.

"Ungh!"

Suddenly, from somewhere in the sky, a roar of rage resounded. The sound reached the ears of everyone in the crowd but disappeared very quickly, almost like they had heard it wrongly, when they did not hear it again.

"Where is your Cloud Devouring Beast? I have waited for quite a while already."

She glanced in the direction where the sound had been heard as she asked in a soft voice that was tinged with a chill, her half narrowed eyes filled with murder as she stared at Family Head Liu. [As long as the City Lord and his people do not move against her, just dealing with these several people from the Liu Family wouldn't be too hard a task for her.]

As for whatever that Cloud Devouring Sacred Beast is..... Ha! She was someone who possessed an Ancient Divine Beast, would she be afraid of just one Sacred Beast?

"Rebellious son! This highly rebellious son! Are you trying to drag our entire Liu Family Clan into oblivion? Are you thinking of destroying everyone in our Liu Family here?"

A rage filled voice reached them from somewhere not too far away. Everyone's eyes turned to look in that direction, to see the Liu Family's old patriarch hurrying over with several old men. Old Patriarch Liu who was in the lead had his face filled with quaking rage, and if not for the two guards holding him, it was thought that he might not be able to walk all the way here.

"Fa..... Father....."

Family Head Liu was startled, never expecting that his father would come here, and even the Clan Elders had also come.....

CHAPTER 259: Clan Absolved from Calamity

He stared looking startled to see the bunch of them stamping angrily in approach. He did not know why the Cloud Devouring Beast did not come, but it was his father and several of the Clan Elders who came instead. What had actually happened to the Cloud Devouring Beast?

When the crowd saw that the Cloud Devouring Beast that Family Head Liu summoned when he crushed the jade badge did not come, but it was the Liu Family's old patriarch and its several Elders who came instead, everyone could not help but be slightly surprised, falling into deep thought.

The beastly roar heard earlier had clearly been from the Sacred Beast without a doubt. But after so long, the Cloud Devouring Beast was still nowhere to be seen. What was really happening here?

"To the Young Master here, let this old man here offer his apologies to you. I plead for the Young Master to show mercy and spare my son's life."

Old Patriarch Liu waved dismissively at the two guards supporting him and fell with a thud on his knees towards Feng Jiu.

Once his actions were seen by the surrounding crowd of people, everyone's heart was rather taken aback, and the other Family Heads and the more senior people who witnessed that appeared thoughtful, because they knew that the old patriarch's actions was seeking to preserve the Liu Family Clan.

Even till that moment, only Family Head Liu himself still had not come to his senses, not realizing that he had stubbed his toe onto a hard steel plate.

The red clothed youth not only possessed strong powers and astounding battle prowess, but the might behind him must surely be even more terrifying. Pitting the Liu Family Clan against this youth, if they were able to get out of it lightly, Family Head Liu and the several Elders would lose their lives, if not, it could very well drag down the entire Liu Family to be buried together for what Family Head Liu had done today!

"Young Master, I beg for your benevolence."

The several elderly Clan Elders also fell to their knees without another word. They did not try to justify anything, nor did they argue who was in the wrong or right. They did not think to suppress with their greater number of men and did not try to seek justice for their men who had died. They only wanted to preserve the Liu Family, to protect their family clan.

Along the way here, their guards had already related the series of events that happened to them and with their wealth of experience, they knew that the Liu Family had met with big trouble today. The slightest misstep in dealing with the issue might very well cause the entire Liu Family Clan to be buried in accompaniment for all of Family Head Liu's actions on this very day.

And at that moment, they all discarded their haughtiness as Clan Elders, threw away the dignity accorded to elderly seniors, lowered themselves in posture, not for the sake of those who had died, but for the sake of people still alive.

Silence descended upon the crowd, as everyone's eyes turned onto Feng Jiu.

How will the red clothed youth react? Faced with such a scene, what would he do?

And within the shadows, the Hell's Lord who had quietly slipped back here in return was also watching the scene, his deep gaze falling upon Feng Jiu. As long as she did not wish for the Liu Family to exist, then, he would make the Liu Family Clan disappear cleanly without a trace before tomorrow came!

Feng Jiu narrowed her eyes to stare at them, her eyes thoughtful. She was a person who separated grudges and gratitude clearly and distinctly. If people treated her politely, she would not oppress them with her might. But against those who sought to have her life, she would never show them the slightest mercy.

All the elderly men kneeling before her eyes, were sincere in demeanor, their eyes pleading as they looked at her, which caused her to be unable to make up her mind for a moment.

The one who wanted to kill her was their Family Head, and as long as they did not mobilize the clan's might to come kill her, then she saw no need for her to annihilate their entire clan.

And witnessing that scene, Family Head Liu finally realized what he had actually done, and he stood there stunned for a moment, as he gazed at his father and the bunch of elderly Clan Elders kneeling on the ground.

It was at that moment that he realized that his reckless impulsiveness, his hasty execution orders given without a thought, had offended this red clothed youth from mysterious and unknown origins. Now, the family clan did not dare to resist, the City Lord was unwilling to lend a hand, and if he did not die, his entire family clan would have to pay the price for everything that he had done this day.....

CHAPTER 260: Where's the Ghost Doctor?

"Just kill me! My clan must be absolved from calamity. Please show mercy and spare my Liu Family."

Family Head Liu muttered as he relaxed his stance, showing that he was no longer going to resist, the murder and look of aggrievement fading from his eyes.

With things having reached such a stage at that moment. He no longer had a choice. Since he was not capable enough to kill this red clothed youth, then the person to die would have to be him. Because if he did not die today and the clan was dragged into calamity, then at the end of his life, he would not be able to face the Liu Family's ancestors.

"The black market's Chief Ke arrives!"

A voice imbued with spirit powers suddenly shattered the silent and heavy atmosphere before the Famed Cloud Loft. At almost the same moment upon hearing of Chief Ke's arrival, everyone's eyes then reflexively turned to look towards the red clothed youth.

The black market's Chief Ke! The black market's influence spreads throughout the entire country, and they are one power that backed the Ghost Doctor! They must have come here because they heard about what happened to the Ghost Doctor. But..... but the Ghost Doctor was clearly dead as everyone could see and killed so brutally at that. If the people from the black market comes to know this, what will they do?

Everyone including the City Lord immediately thought of that. Family Head Liu whose eyes had already grown dim quickly realized that as well. His face that had been filled with despair suddenly rose with a sliver of hope. He was thinking that if the black market's people could avenge the Ghost Doctor by killing this red clothed youth, then the Liu Family Clan would be saved!

Everyone was growing restless and uneasy, with only Feng Liu calm and composed as before.

She stared at Family Head Liu whose throat she had grasped in her grip and who had his head turned to look in the direction where the voice had sounded from before the ends of her mouth curled up: "What are you thinking? You think he can save you? Or are you thinking they will be able to kill me?"

Family Head Liu stiffened up his lips as they trembled slightly. He looked at his father and the Clan Elders who were still kneeling on the ground before letting out a soft sigh and closed his eyes. "Just kill me off! Use my life to bring an end to all of this!"

"Indeed, I can spare the Liu Family, but I will never let someone who tried to kill me go."

Feng Jiu's soft voice fell and a murderous glint flashed in her eyes. The hand gripped around Family Head Liu's head tightened and a sharp crack sounded, the neck of the defenceless Family Head Liu snapped in two. Till death, he merely let out a muffled groan as he breathed his last.

'Flump!'

Feng Jiu released her grip, and Family Head Liu's body fell to the ground, falling right before the Liu's Family's people.

When he saw that Family Head Liu was no longer breathing, old Patriarch Liu's eyes were startled as they showed an undisguisable sense of pain and helplessness. The mouths of the several Clan Elders moved, but they did not say a word, but to merely stare at the corpse before them and to let out a sigh.

Who could they blame? Who could they hate? And who should they seek?

For all this, they could only blame themselves, hate themselves, because, they sought all this trouble upon themselves, and because this was a world where power reigned.....

The City Lord and the people in the crowd sighed to themselves. They hadn't thought this would happen, it was all so unexpected.....

That Family Head Liu would die just like that. They had only seen what happened in the beginning but had never expected such an ending. They had initially thought that faced with the Liu Family Clan, the red clothed youth would be the one to die. But at that moment, nobody dared to look down upon the youth anymore, and none of them dared to act audaciously before him.

And at that moment, the clear sound of steady and uniform steps reached them from afar, their marching in perfect unison causing everyone to raise their heads and look, to see a team of about fifty black robed guards approaching from down the street. Every single one of those fifty black robed guards had a chilling demeanor, a steady air around them, and just by looking at them, one knew they were all skilled pugilists who were carefully picked out.

"Hahaha, where's the Ghost Doctor? Get the Ghost Doctor, tell him that I have come to pick him up to go back!"
