Chapter 30 You've already had your chance.
Chapter 30 You've already had your chance.
In the early morning, a thick fog rose from the cold air.
Xu Tianyi closed his eyes, his body trembling slightly.
A moment later, he opened his eyes.
Gu Qinghan and Gu Feixue looked at him with some concern.
"are you OK?"
Xu Tianyi nodded. Amidst the thick fog, the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard, and the entire city seemed to still be in chaos.
The deafening shouts of battle last night kept the city's residents awake at night.
At this moment, Xu An, along with the city guards, underground gangs, rogue constables, and other subordinates, had already surrounded them.
Xu Tianyi also knew that the matter was not over yet.
"Tell me, should I destroy the Xu family to avenge them?"
Gu Feixue fell silent.
Gu Qinghan was also unsure how to answer.
As if he hadn't explained things clearly enough, Xu Tianyi offered another explanation.
"The Xu family was so cruel to my parents, so by reason of reason, I should exterminate their entire clan."
But to be rational, recruiting the remnants of the Xu family is what I should do. Anlu is a good place, and Qingniu Mountain is also a good place. With these, I can use them as a dowry for the Crown Prince.”
Gu Feixue's lips trembled slightly, but she remained silent.
When interests and emotions conflict, no one can have both.
Even if the Xu family is destroyed, Anlu cannot be taken over and will be captured by the Prince of Qi, which will not benefit the Crown Prince.
Leaving the Xu family alive was not enough to quell the hatred in his heart.
After a long silence, Gu Qinghan finally spoke.
"Junior brother, you don't need to wrong yourself for me. My identity is first and foremost that of a chivalrous knight-errant, and only then that of a princess."
We, the people of the martial arts world, believe in an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
Xu Tianyi looked up at her and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
"Qinghan, you are still so clear about your grudges and affections."
Xu Tianyi slowly sheathed his longsword.
"When faced with an indecisive choice, let our enemies make the decision! Come on, they're coming."
He led the group toward the north gate, which was the back gate of the Xu family's residence.
In fact, he had already made up his mind.
At this moment, it's just giving the Xu family a chance.
Before long, Xu Tianyi led the remaining fifteen people from Cangyu Pavilion to the main gate.
The inner courtyard, also known as the backyard gate.
The road here is wide and enclosed.
Ordinary people are not allowed to enter this street.
At the same time, this main road connects to the North Gate, making escape very convenient.
The Xu family's ancestral land design was very reasonable.
In the past, the back gate was used to receive VIPs and for family members to travel.
Gu Feixue has a special status. If she really comes as the Crown Princess, she will definitely have to enter through the back gate.
. . .
Xu An and Xu Wanfu are both here.
The city guards were under the command of County Lieutenant Xu Wanfu, the constables and gangs were under the command of Xu Wan'an, and the clan guards and servants were under the command of Xu Wannian.
Xu An, on the other hand, planned to take over the position of county magistrate a thousand years later.
The Xu family made very proper arrangements for their funeral.
The gate was already surrounded by a tight net, including more than a dozen hook-and-chain carts, chain net carts, and various poison arrows and oil.
Xu Wanfu looked like a general, with broad shoulders and a thick waist. He also carried a large bow on his back. This arrow had the effect of breaking through true energy, so it could be considered a type of energy-breaking arrow.
Xu Tianyi slowly walked forward.
With the door frame in between, he wasn't afraid of a surprise attack.
"Xu Tianyi!! How is my grandfather?!"
Xu An spoke up eagerly.
Xu Tianyi chuckled: "The Xu family patriarch's order is here! Xu Wanfu, I command you to kill Xu An, and the Xu family will be spared annihilation!"
He doesn't like backstabbing or empty talk.
Men should be more direct in their actions.
Xu An was furious when he saw the blood-stained family head's token.
"You killed my grandfather!! You scoundrel!! How dare you kill my grandfather, Second Uncle, what are you hesitating for?"
Xu Wanfu trembled when he saw the patriarch's order.
His face immediately turned angry.
"Kill them all!! Leave no one alive!!"
Xu Tianyi couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
I hesitated for so long because, in reality, there were no other options.
This trip is a fight to the death.
He slowly closed his eyes, and to everyone else, it seemed as if he was waiting to die.
But the next moment, a chilling aura swept over him from both sides.
Two glaciers crashed towards the gate.
The incoming arrows, crossbow bolts, chains, and grappling hooks were all frozen and then repelled.
Then, protected by ice and snow, Xu Tianyi led the charge!
Xu An stared in disbelief at the scene.
He had no idea that there was a Grandmaster and a Martial Spirit Peak expert inside.
A grandmaster who acts without restraint is absolutely terrifying.
Xu Tianyi's cultivation level suddenly surged to the sixth rank of Great Martial Master!
He almost flashed forward, getting right up to Xu An.
Xu An's eyes were filled with disbelief, and fear filled his heart.
Keep in mind that he was facing nearly a hundred soldiers, yet Xu Tianyi pressed forward relentlessly, his sword energy slicing through the path, aiming straight for his head!
"Second Uncle, help..."
"bite!!"
At the moment he shouted, Xu Wanfu had already shot an arrow.
He was a master archer, and this Qi-breaking arrow was a specially made weapon designed to break through the true qi of experts. Even a Grand Martial Master would surely die if hit by it.
But even with a somewhat nervous look in his eyes, Xu Tianyi's sword actually struck the arrow he had shot with pinpoint accuracy.
What terrible judgment!
It's important to understand that cutting through an arrow head-on is entirely possible, but it's a very risky move.
If he made a mistake, he would surely die, which shows how confident Xu Tianyi was in his prediction.
In the thick fog and frost, he anticipated the angle and speed of his arrow and cleaved it in two with a single sword stroke.
Then...
"puff!!"
Xu An felt a pang of pain in his heart; his handsome face was filled with terror and resentment.
"Spare...please..."
"Shhh!!"
Xu Tianyi abruptly sheathed his sword, and a splash of bright red blood from his heart flew out.
"I told you, if there's a next time, I'll kill you!!"
After saying that, he unleashed a sword strike at Xu Wanfu.
Xu Wanfu was also enraged and slashed at him with his sword.
Clearly, he was also a Grand Martial Master, but only at the second rank.
"Snapped!!"
The sword energy was shattered by this strike, but the next second, his helmet flew off, along with the piece of his hand that had blocked the sword.
"Ah~~!!"
Having not been injured for many years, he let out a scream, and then he saw Xu Tianyi returning.
"Protect me!! Protect me!!"
His personal guards rushed over, but soon, a frost-covered sword aura struck his side.
As the sword energy exploded, the entire formation collapsed, and the surrounding guards were either shattered by the frost or pierced by ice spikes.
Xu Wanfu hurriedly used his remaining right hand to draw the long sword from his waist in an attempt to defend himself.
But after just three moves, a flower of blood bloomed on his neck.
"You think you're worthy to fight me with your sword? I've already given you the chance!"
Xu Tianyi lifted Xu Wanfu's helmet: "Xu Wanfu is dead, kneel down and you will not be killed!!"
Such a powerful charge and decisive attack terrified everyone. Except for a few personal guards, everyone else stopped what they were doing, some ran away, and some knelt down.
A member of the Xu family's personal guard roared, "If we let the Kunlun demoness escape, we'll all die!! Brothers, follow me..."
Upon seeing this, Xu Tianyi let out a furious roar that shook the entire street.
This is the method of using true qi that he comprehended from the Qian family's magic technique "Blood Chant".
Such powerful sonic energy directly drowned out the commands of several guards.
The entire room fell silent.
Xu Tianyi shouted, "What does the destruction of the Xu family have to do with you! After the Xu family is gone, we'll leave, and then you can come in and loot! The law doesn't punish the masses. Even if the Xu family loses, do you think they'll cause you any trouble? Get the hell out of here!!"
Xu Tianyi's roar now echoed not only in the streets.
It resonated deeply in their hearts.
Everyone is selfish.
Yes, what does the demise of the Xu family have to do with us?
After they leave, the Xu family will be wiped out. Can't we go in and make a fortune?
Everyone stopped what they were doing and retreated in groups to a distance.
The few remaining guards stepped forward and shouted, but were met with a counterattack and killed by a large number of city guards.
In no time, the situation was settled, and the smooth sailing made Xu Tianyi feel it was excessive.
