Chapter 2167 - 2140: Tang Fengxing’s Killing Intent
Tang Fengyun remained silent for a moment, as if recalling something, and hesitated before saying, "Big brother, isn’t there Tang Kongming? If we have him, it would probably be much easier to deal with the Lu Family and Jiang Liufeng."
"Tang Kongming?"
Tang Fengxing’s face showed a hint of a mocking smile as he dismissively said, "Do you think Tang Kongming would help us deal with the Lu Family and Jiang Liufeng? Moreover, I’ve already decided that once Tang Kongming kills Lu Tianxing and escorts Qingyun back to Shu, I will ensure that Tang Kongming dies there entirely. Since he’s part of the Tang Family, let’s have him be buried there for good."
"What? Big brother, you plan to kill Tang Kongming?"
Tang Fengyun’s expression changed dramatically, looking incredulously at the cold-faced Tang Kongming. He never imagined that Tang Fengxing would have such a crazy idea.
You must know that fifty years ago, Tang Kongming was a renowned genius in the Tang Family, even surpassing the Tang Family Ancestor. Now, fifty years have passed, and the progress of Tang Kongming’s strength is unimaginably terrifying. It’s almost like a child saying to a fully armed adult, ’I’m going to knock you down with one punch.’
Even if the Tang Family pooled all its resources, it would be difficult to kill Tang Kongming. Instead, Tang Kongming might bear a grudge against the Tang Family. To have a Peak of Late-stage Mythical invincible warrior as an enemy spells certain doom for the Tang Family.
"Is it strange that I want to kill Tang Kongming?"
Tang Fengxing’s expression turned unusually calm at this moment as he spoke in a composed voice: "A person who won’t work for the Tang Family is of no use staying. Since Tang Kongming wants to leave the Tang Family, he must leave everything behind. His life was a gift from the Tang Family, and my father once had to plead for mercy to spare him. Now, if he wishes to cut ties with the Tang Family, he must return everything owed, including his life. I want him dead."
Hearing Tang Fengxing voice this true inner thought, Tang Fengyun couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat on his forehead. Tang Fengxing’s intent to kill Tang Kongming would likely require a tremendous cost, possibly involving extensive casualties. If they fail to kill Tang Kongming, the enraged Tang Kongming could annihilate the Tang Family.
"Are you scared? Afraid that I can’t kill Tang Kongming and might provoke him instead?"
Tang Fengxing squinted at Tang Fengyun, pointing out sharply what was buried deep in Tang Fengyun’s heart.
Indeed, Tang Fengyun was scared now, worried that provoking Tang Kongming would bring total disaster to the Tang Family and himself.
"You’re afraid that I can’t kill Tang Kongming and that it will provoke him into wreaking havoc on the Tang Family, right?"
Saying this, Tang Fengxing’s tone suddenly changed: "However, I can assure you that your fear is unfounded. Since I’ve decided to make Shu Tang Kongming’s burial ground, do you think I won’t have a means to deal with Tang Kongming?"
Hearing Tang Fengxing’s words, a trace of amazement passed over Tang Fengyun’s face. Where does Tang Fengxing find the confidence to claim to eliminate a Peak of Late-stage Mythical level expert? Could it be...?
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Tang Fengyun’s mind, and he whispered in some disbelief: "Big brother, are you thinking of using that certain object?"
"Why not?"
Tang Fengxing stated heavily: "If we want Tang Kongming dead in Shu, we must use that item. It’s the only thing that can ensure Tang Kongming does not leave any remains."
"But big brother, the Tang Family’s ancestral rules dictate that the object must not be used unless at the point of life or death. Moreover, that item is intended to deal with Lu Tiankuang later. If used against Tang Kongming now, how will we defend against Lu Tiankuang invading Shu afterward? We won’t have any means to stop them," Tang Fengyun solemnly said to Tang Fengxing.
This item has been passed down through generations in the Tang Family. Once used, even a Peak of Late-stage Mythical warrior would perish by it. This is the Tang Family’s trump card, meant to handle Old Master of Lu Family and Jiang Liufeng. If deployed against Tang Kongming now, it would be irrecoverable since the craftsmanship to recreate it has been lost. The Tang Family only has one left.
"Can’t stop them?"
Tang Fengxing’s expression remained unchanged, speaking with indifference: "We still have the Ancestor, don’t we? If the Ancestor can reach the Earthly Immortal realm, forget about Lu Tiankuang or even ten like him; they would still be doomed."
"However, before sending Lu Tiankuang off, I want Tang Kongming dead first."
A cold and murderous intent appeared on Tang Fengxing’s devil-like face: "This time, I will ensure Tang Kongming has no resting place for eternity."
Upon hearing Tang Fengxing’s uncompromising resolve, Tang Fengyun couldn’t help swallowing a mouthful of saliva: "Big brother, have you truly made this decision?"
"Yes, I want Shu to be his grave."
"But how should we explain it to the Ancestor?"
"The Ancestor is currently in seclusion. By the time he emerges from seclusion, Tang Kongming will already be dead, and dead he shall remain without question."
Tang Fengxing sneered and said: "Furthermore, as long as Tang Kongming is dead, the Ancestor won’t pursue accountability. Would the Ancestor possibly dismiss me from being Tang Family Patriarch for a dead person?"
Tang Fengyun, hearing Tang Fengxing’s words once again, opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing further. He simply sighed gently, understanding that Tang Fengxing had reached an extreme. No matter what he said, it was futile, and Tang Fengxing wouldn’t listen. Speaking more might even provoke Tang Fengxing’s wrath, who might retaliate against him. So, he simply chose silence.
Meanwhile, Tang Fengxing wore a face of cold malice, his eyes filled with bloodthirsty light, leaving people to guess what exactly was on his mind at this moment.
As all of Beijing, even all of China, speculated over Lu Tianxing’s departure from Beijing.
At Xiangjiang Airport, a plane from Beijing landed on Xiangjiang runway.
The plane glided along the runway for a stretch before coming to a steady stop at the tarmac.
As soon as the plane stopped, the flight attendant’s melodious voice resonated throughout the cabin.
All passengers promptly stood up from their seats, gathered their belongings, and began to head towards the escalator in an orderly manner.
