Chapter 2148 - 2121: You’re Courting Death
Upon hearing the words of the man in black, Huang Yuanzheng gradually stopped smiling, but his tone was tinged with undisguised sarcasm: "I laugh at your naïveté, thinking that by getting the Huang Family to join you, it will become the only family in Xiangjiang. Isn’t that ridiculous? So what if you destroy Zhao Long, but can you eliminate the Yama Palace? If my Huang Family were to join you, becoming your vassal, it cannot be denied that you indeed have the capability to take out Zhao Long, but do you have the ability to protect the Huang Family?"
"Do you know how the Yama Palace deals with traitors? They annihilate them completely. Can you protect our Huang Family then?"
Saying this, Huang Yuanzheng paused, took a deep breath, and without giving the man in black a chance to speak, continued: "Don’t tell me you’re not afraid of Yama Palace; that’s nonsense. If you weren’t afraid of the Yama Palace, you wouldn’t be using our Huang Family to lure its power to Xiangjiang. If you weren’t afraid, you would confront the Yama Palace head-on, and wouldn’t be hiding here, like a bug in the sewer, cowering in the stench."
At this moment, Huang Yuanzheng chose to utterly break off with the man in black, speaking without any politeness. Now, the path before Huang Yuanzheng led only in one direction: to follow the Yama Palace until the end. Apart from this, there was no other choice.
It cannot be denied that the terms offered by the man in black are indeed tempting, but the dangers hidden within are unimaginably horrifying. The fact that the man in black does not dare face off with the Yama Palace head-on proves the immense fear he harbors towards it, thus refusing to engage directly.
If at this moment the Huang Family were to betray the Yama Palace to submit to the man in black, even if the man in black helps to eliminate Zhao Long and supports the Huang Family becoming the Number One family in Xiangjiang, it would undoubtedly provoke Lu Tianxing. Once a furious Lu Tianxing, carrying with him the power of the Yama Palace, steps into Xiangjiang, not even with the addition of these three men in black could they withstand Lu Tianxing, nor bear his wrath.
Even if in the end these men in black withstand Lu Tianxing’s fury, the fate of the Huang Family would fare little better; it might not even require Lu Tianxing himself. The power of the Yama Palace alone could easily wipe out the Huang Family. The Sun Family in Qin Island was the best example—Lu Tianxing hadn’t even appeared, and they were already shattered without a chance to catch their breath, dissipating into thin air.
If the Huang Family were to choose cooperation with the man in black, their ultimate fate would be annihilation, with absolutely no second path to follow. Therefore, Huang Yuanzheng decided to mock the man in black directly. Since they were already enemies, there was no need for courtesy.
"Huang Yuanzheng, you’re courting death."
Upon hearing the mocking and contemptuous gaze of Huang Yuanzheng, the faces of the three men in black all turned unspeakably ugly in an instant: "Huang Yuanzheng, since you’re seeking death, I’ll send you on the road to the etherworld right now."
As he finished speaking, one of the men in black suddenly attacked, springing forward like a fierce tiger.
Simultaneously, his hands trembled, and a terrifying True Qi spread from his palms. A sharp and fierce aura emanated from his palms, instantly enfolding the entire space in a world of swords, with sharp Sword Qi permeating the air, stinging the skin intensely.
"Die for me."
The man in black’s face showed a hint of cold murder intent, pushing both palms forward, causing the sharp Sword Qi to envelop Huang Zhengde and Huang Yuanzheng like a swarm of butterflies, aiming to pierce their hearts with myriad swords in a flash.
Seeing the man in black’s attack and feeling the sharp Sword Qi, both Huang Yuanzheng and Huang Zhengde couldn’t help but reveal a grave expression. Without any hesitation, they acted simultaneously, unleashing the Huang Family’s secret technique. A tremendous torrent of True Qi exploded instantly, clashing with the Sword Qi violently, causing the wild energy to collide fiercely in mid-air, its tide surging in all directions.
"Whoosh!"
At this moment, a figure broke through the Sword Qi that filled the sky, rushing forward with a Longsword in hand, slashing fiercely towards Huang Yuanzheng and Huang Zhengde.
"What!"
The faces of Huang Yuanzheng and Huang Zhengde changed drastically in an instant. They never anticipated the previous attack from the man in black was merely a decoy; the real killing move was yet to come.
Without any hesitation, Huang Yuanzheng and Huang Zhengde retreated simultaneously, narrowly dodging the fatal blow. Despite that, the sharp force still left a bleeding mark on their necks, came within a hair’s breadth of killing them.
Feeling the chill of the cuts on their necks, Huang Zhengde and Huang Yuanzheng displayed a sense of surviving a catastrophe. Had they hesitated by half a second to retreat, their heads would have likely parted from their bodies.
"Your reactions weren’t bad, but do you think you can dodge the second move?"
The man in black who had attacked wore a trace of arrogant disdain on his face, completely dismissing Huang Zhengde and Huang Yuanzheng. Playing with the mouse before the catch, only to toy it to the brink of death before devouring, was always the most enjoyable.
Huang Yuanzheng snorted coldly: "If you want to kill us, then come and try. Even if I die, I’ll take a bite out of you."
"Is that so? Then let’s continue and see if you can do it."
As his words fell, the man in black launched his body at Huang Yuanzheng and Huang Zhengde once again. The Longsword in his hand vibrated continuously, channeling True Qi through the blade, forming Sword Light with immense killing power, penetrating directly. The Sword Shadows cloaked the entire villa area.
"Heaven and Earth Net Kill."
Inside the entire villa, sharp Sword Light enveloped every direction, leaving deep sword marks on the walls and floor.
Huang Yuanzheng and Huang Zhengde, fully aware of how terrifying the man’s Sword Qi was, exchanged a glance with a tacit understanding, unleashing the Huang Family’s secret technique. They grasped the air, causing torrents of scorching hot aura to materialize before them. As the sharp Sword Qi plunged into the hot air, it seemed to hit an invisible wall, beginning to slowly melt away.
This is the Huang Family’s secret technique, True Yang Skill, transforming True Qi into a torrent of burning heat that can easily dissolve the opponent’s True Qi. It is remarkably formidable.
