Chapter 245 Total destruction!
"Do you want to deal with me first?"
Chen Dao's expression remained unchanged; he simply shouted, "Brother Cheng, it's your turn to make a move!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Cheng moved immediately. Despite his tall stature, he was extremely agile. With one step, he blocked a Sun family martial artist who wanted to attack Chen Dao.
At the same time, Xiao Yuan also launched an attack. Taking advantage of a Sun family martial artist attacking Chen Dao, she appeared at the martial artist's feet like a ghost and grabbed at the martial artist's groin with a claw!
"what!"
The Sun family martial artist's pupils dilated violently. The intense pain of his testicles being crushed caused him to let out a heart-wrenching scream, and a large amount of cold sweat broke out on his forehead!
Taking advantage of the martial artist's cry of pain, Xiao Yuan swung her claw again, severing the martial artist's neck and taking his life.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yuan transformed into a black shadow once again and attacked another Sun family martial artist who was attacking Chen Dao.
The martial artist was clearly very vigilant. He noticed Xiao Yuan's approach immediately, turned around abruptly, and punched the air behind him.
"Hey!"
Xiao Yuan seemed surprised by the martial artist's quick reaction. She let out a soft cry, instantly changed direction, dodged the martial artist's attack, and at the same time, placed her small body on the martial artist's head.
"Oops!"
The Sun family warrior sensed something was wrong, but before he could make a move, Xiao Yuan's claw landed on his head.
"Pfft!"
The sharp blade sliced through the scalp, and three bloody gashes instantly appeared on the head of the Sun family martial artist. The gashes were so deep that one could even see what was inside the skull!
"Uh……"
The Sun family martial artist stared wide-eyed, looking up to see the wound on his head, but...
He was, after all, just a human being. Even if he looked up, how could he possibly see the wound on his head?
Red and white liquids fell from above, blurring the martial artist's vision, and the strength in his body receded like the tide.
Gradually, the martial artist's vision became increasingly blurry until... he was completely plunged into darkness!
Of the seven seventh-rank martial artists brought by Sun Ren, five were dead, leaving only two still fighting Chen Dao and Chen Cheng.
Meanwhile, Sun Ren, who was injured by Xu Zhiwen's palm strike and was struggling with Xu Zhiwen despite his internal injuries, looked ashen-faced!
He brought out two-thirds of the Sun family's martial force, but now almost all of them are dead... This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Sun family!
Even he himself... would probably find it difficult to escape from here!
"Who are you?"
Sun Ren couldn't help but ask Xu Zhiwen, "Seventh-rank martial artists aren't commonplace; they represent the highest level of martial prowess in Ding'an County. And Chen Dao's group not only has two seventh-rank martial artists, but they also have pets that are far stronger than seventh-rank martial artists..."
This undoubtedly puzzled Sun Ren greatly. A force with such military power should not be present in a small place like Ding'an County!
"Since you're going to die anyway, I'll answer your questions!"
Xu Zhiwen, who had knocked Sun Ren to the ground with a single punch, smiled and said, "I am Xu Zhiwen, the magistrate of Taiping County!"
Taiping County?
Sun Ren was taken aback. He knew Taiping County; it was a neighboring county located north of Ding'an County. Because it was situated on the border and far from the county seat, Taiping County was generally poorer than Ding'an County, and it had fewer martial artists.
however……
This peak seventh-rank martial artist before him, no weaker than himself, claimed to be the magistrate of Taiping County…
In Sun Ren's impression, most county magistrates were scholars, and scholars, like Li Qingyun, were often powerless. How could they possess such martial prowess?
"What about him?"
Sun Ren looked at Chen Dao, who was fighting the Sun family warriors who were being pushed back step by step, and asked.
"He..."
Xu Zhiwen stroked his beard and said, "He's just a farmer's son from Taiping County!"
"..."
Sun Ren was speechless. He suspected that Xu Zhiwen was lying to him, but he also felt that it was unlikely.
He was already a dying man, so Xu Zhiwen had no reason to lie to him.
But Xu Zhiwen's answer was truly outrageous!
How could a farmer's son become a seventh-rank martial artist and have such terrifying monsters by his side?
Suppressing his confusion, Sun Ren asked again, "My Sun family has no grudge against you, so why are you targeting our family?"
"It's because of the Fire-Patterned Fruit, of course!"
Xu Zhiwen said, "Do you remember that two days ago, my brother Li and I personally came to ask for the Fire Pattern Fruit?"
Sun Ren nodded subconsciously. Of course he remembered. In fact, he was in the backyard that day. After Xu Zhiwen and Li Qingyun left, he and Sun Ye even mocked Li Qingyun.
"Just for the Fire-Patterned Fruit?"
Sun Ren asked incredulously, "The Fire Pattern Fruit is important to the Sun family, but it's not particularly precious. They're going to wipe out the Zhu family just for a few Fire Pattern Fruits..."
That reason is somewhat unconvincing.
"Of course, it's not just because of the Fire Pattern Fruit!"
Xu Zhiwen said, "It's also because Brother Li is my close friend, and your Sun family has bullied Brother Li terribly!"
There was another reason Xu Zhiwen didn't mention, and that was... to seek justice for the people like Xie Chunyu and Xiang Lao who suffered oppression from the Sun family!
Of course, there's no need to explain this reason, because people like Sun Ren are incapable of feeling any sympathy for the common people at the bottom of society.
"I see, I see! Hehehe..."
Sun Ren let out a bitter laugh, finally understanding why Chen Dao and his group were targeting the Sun family. He also knew that these people would not let him go.
Therefore, Sun Ren did not struggle or beg for mercy. Instead, he stared into Xu Zhiwen's eyes and said, "You slaughtered my Sun family, and disaster will surely follow!"
Without waiting for Xu Zhiwen to make a move, Sun Ren bit off his own tongue and committed suicide!
"He's got some backbone!"
Xu Zhiwen scoffed.
Meanwhile, Chen Dao also killed a Sun family martial artist named Sun Zi with a single punch.
At this point, of the seventh-rank martial artists brought by Sun Ren, only one remained, still locked in combat with Chen Cheng.
It must be said that Chen Cheng is indeed exceptionally talented. Despite only being at the eighth rank, he was able to fight on equal terms with a seventh-rank Sun family martial artist.
Of course, due to his lower cultivation level, Chen Cheng was generally at a disadvantage, but his life was not in danger.
"Madoka."
Chen Dao gave a soft call, and Xiao Yuan immediately understood, transforming into a blur as she pounced on the Sun family warriors who were fighting Chen Cheng.
Caught off guard, the martial artist immediately sustained a bloody wound.
"This damn beast!"
The Sun family warrior let out a furious curse, which was also the last sentence of his life.
The next moment, Xiao Yuan's claws slashed across his neck. As blood gushed out, his strength drained from his body, and he gradually stopped breathing.
At this point, Sun Ren and the seven Sun family warriors he brought with him were all dead; none survived!
