Chapter 702: Xu Kunming’s Fall, The Xu Family Comes After the West Ocean Commerce Alliance
....Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Xu Kunming, the ancestor of the Xu family, realized that what started as a scheme to lure out people who knew about the Refinement Stone had backfired.
They had indeed achieved their goal and caught a fish, but not a small fish – rather, a formidable shark.
At that instant, Xu Kunming pondered over how much the other party knew about the Refinement Stone and whether he could glean any relevant information from them.
Shen Ruyan, noticing Xu Kunming’s hesitance and lack of response, coldly snorted.
In the next moment, the body of a Xu family cultivator closest to her suddenly exploded with endless lightning.
Crackle—
In just an instant, the Xu family cultivator did not even have time to scream before his body and soul were annihilated.
At this moment, everyone who saw this scene could not help but be shocked.
Shen Ruyan really meant what she said.
Her threat was not a bluff.
If things went wrong, the Xu family members present could very well meet the same fate.
Xu Kunming didn’t expect that Shen Ruyan would actually dare to kill his family members while he was present.
This made him furious.
He looked at Shen Ruyan and the other two coldly.
“Fellow Daoist, what do you mean by that?
You killed a Xu Family cultivator. Do you really think that I, Xu Kunming, am easy to bully? Do you think that my Xu Family is easy to bully?”
“Huh…?”
Hearing these words, Shen Ruyan’s eyes grew colder.
Boom!
The sky rumbled with thunder again, and this time, three Xu family cultivators were instantly turned to ash.
She said, “You have to understand one thing. I’m the one asking you a question now, not you negotiating with me. Do you understand?
I’ve already given you a way out. You were the one who didn’t grasp it and insisted on having thoughts that you shouldn’t have. Who can you blame?”
The escalating situation held everyone’s breath. The conflict was heading towards a dangerous climax.
“Senior Brother Yang, should we…?”
On the other side, Junior Brother Yao looked at the white-robed old man and asked with a solemn expression.
However, the white-robed old man shook his head and asked.
“Junior Brother Yao, who do you think is stronger between us and Old Xu?”
When Junior Brother Yao heard that, he subconsciously replied,
“Of course you’re stronger. As for me, I should be on par with him.”
Hearing this, the old man in white laughed.
“Junior Brother Yao, you think too highly of me.
Indeed, my strength might be a little stronger than Old Xu.
However, it’s only marginal. The difference in strength is not as big as you think.
But look at that fellow Daoist. How strong is she?”
This time, the white-robed old man did not wait for Junior Brother Yao’s reply and answered his own question.
“The difference is worlds apart, not to mention that she hasn’t yet shown all her strength.
However, from the battle between the two of them just now, it’s clear that she can kill Old Xu with a raise of her hand.
What do you think we can do, even if we do show ourselves in this situation?
Do you think that at this point, she will show mercy for our Changkong Holy Land’s sake?
Moreover, she has already given Old Xu a way out. He was the one who couldn’t grasp it, so who can he blame?”
Junior Brother Yao fell silent at the elder’s words.
Meanwhile, Xu Kunming’s face had turned livid.
He hadn’t expected things to escalate to such an extent.
Killing four members of his family in front of so many witnesses left him no room to retreat.
But if he didn’t retreat…
Xu Kunming couldn’t help but look at Xu Hailong and the others, whose faces were pale.
He recalled the strength Shen Ruyan had just displayed.
Just as Xu Kunming was going to plead, a more terrifying thunderstorm suddenly erupted over Xu Hailong and the others.
Rumble!
In an instant, Xu Chuanping, Xu Hailong, and others were turned to dust, shocking Xu Kunming and everyone else witnessing the scene.
The expressions of Junior Brother Yao and the old man in white also changed drastically.
Not good!
Something big was about to happen!
The thought had just crossed their minds when Shen Ruyan spoke up.
“Alright, there’s no need for you to say anything else. I’ll get that information from your corpse.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a sword light that flickered with endless lightning suddenly slashed down at Xu Kunming.
“You…!”
A look of disbelief appeared on Xu Kunming’s face.
How dare she? How dare she?
Boom!
In that instant, endless spiritual light erupted from Xu Kunming’s body.
Every inch of his skin, every strand of his hair, shone with a bright glow.
It was obvious that he had burned himself completely, hoping to escape and survive.
Spiritual Qi from the surrounding area crazily converged towards him, signifying he was elevating himself to his utmost potential for a slim chance of survival.
He knew that only by completely burning his body would he have a chance of surviving today.
At this moment, he was filled with regret.
If he had known this would happen, he would not have come.
Nor would he attempt to save his descendants.
