Chapter 82: Chapter 82 Massacre
“Let’s go!” Shi Hao said, heading towards Shi Mansion.
Those carrying the coffins were close to tears.
This was Shi Mansion, one of the four great families of the Imperial Capital, a terrifying force second only to the Royal Family. To send coffins to the Shi Family would surely enrage them to the extreme.
Wasn’t this a death sentence for them?
Yet having just witnessed the ferocity of that fat man, how dared they disobey?
Were they not afraid of the fat man’s wrath?
What they didn’t know was that Shi Hao was not the kind of person to kill indiscriminately. If they abandoned the coffins and fled now, Shi Hao would most likely just laugh it off and not target them.
Feeling helpless, they could only carry the coffins inside the Shi Mansion with trepidation in their hearts.
“Put down the coffins, you can go now.” Thankfully, once inside the Shi Family’s compound, Shi Hao uttered words that almost brought tears to their eyes.
Such a damn good person.
They felt as if they had been granted an amnesty and hurriedly took their leave.
Shi Hao personally took action and arranged the ten coffins in a straight row, neat and tidy.
At this moment, the people inside the Shi Mansion received the alarm and rushed out in a flurry.
What’s this all about?
Seeing the ten high-quality red lacquer coffins neatly lined up in the courtyard just inside the main gate, they were all stunned.
Then, their anger surged like a tidal wave.
Someone actually dared to send coffins to their Shi Family!
How outrageously bold were they, and what a suicidal act was this?
And why were there so many onlookers?
You’re not here to mourn, so what the hell are you gathered around for?
“You two, did you eat the guts of heaven?” a member of the Shi Family coldly said. His name was Shi Kangyi, just past twenty years old, already a primary-level martial master. Though not considered outstanding in the Imperial Capital, he was still quite extraordinary.
Shi Hao smiled faintly, “I am Shi Hao, the adopted son of Shi Tianyang.”
He paused for a moment, seeing the realization dawn on the faces of the Shi Family members, and then continued, “Today, I have specially brought ten coffins for Shi Fengyun and others involved. Whoever has harmed my adoptive father will get one. If it’s not enough, I’ll order more.”
The Shi Hao who won first place at this year’s martial arts competition, only to have his champion title revoked by the Martial Venerable?
A young man full of himself, completely forgetting his place.
The Shi Mansion, what kind of existence was it?
For over three hundred years since the founding of the Hua Yuan Nation, the Shi Family had stood tall and unyielding, never once declining.
A mere youngster, who merely made a name for himself in the martial arts competition, dared to create trouble at the Shi Mansion?
“Seize him!” Shi Kangyi said coldly, waving his hand, and instantly ten house servants rushed out.
“You’re not worthy of making Stone take action!” The fat man charged out, unleashing his full combat power as an intermediate-level Martial Sect. Bang, bang, bang, in just an instant, all ten house servants lay on the ground, dead or injured.
The people of the Shi Family were furious. Although those who were killed or injured were merely slaves, it was a slap to the face of the Shi Family, which they could not tolerate.
The people of the Shi Family cursed, but they also knew these two were ill-intentioned visitors.
They had some strength.
But what of it? They were still the Shi Family.
“Where is the Guard Team?” Shi Kangyi called out loudly.
Suddenly, another team of house servants emerged, twenty in total, each holding a bow in their hands.
The Moon-Slaying Bow.
Worthy of the Shi Mansion, even their house servants were equipped with such lethal weapons as the Moon-Slaying Bow.
“Shoot!” commanded Shi Kangyi. In an instant, a shower of arrows flew towards Shi Hao and the chubby man.
The chubby man laughed heartily, braving the arrow rain as he charged forward.
Such an attack could annihilate a senior martial master, but the chubby man was already a mid-level Martial Sect. Being merely a sliver away from the senior level, how could a volley from the Moon-Slaying Bow possibly harm him?
He cupped his hands over his head, while his forceful energy circulated and formed a shield around him. Combined with his formidable physique, the incoming arrows could only be deflected away.
In that instant, he had charged into the midst of the Arrow Guard and commenced a massacre.
In the blink of an eye, all the Arrow Guard lay fallen on the ground.
This sent shockwaves through the Shi Family; no wonder Shi Hao dared to attack their doorstep—he had the backing of a Martial Sect.
But what of a Martial Sect?
Does the Shi Family not have one?
“Hmph, just two milk-nosed brats daring to bully the Shi Family as if we’re defenseless?” A middle-aged man strode forward with an imposing aura.
“Ninth Master!” The crowd immediately cheered in unison, their confidence surging.
The key figures in the Shi Family were those between thirty to fifty years of age, whose cultivation had almost reached the peak of life, yet their physical functions had not begun to decline.
This Ninth Master, Shi Yuansha, a mid-level Martial Sect, was one of the pivotal pillars of the Shi Family.
With him at the helm, they were naturally secured.
Before the crowd could finish their thought, a dark shadow descended from the sky, crashing onto Shi Yuansha.
Then, they saw at the spot where Shi Yuansha once stood, there was now a stone lion, and Shi Yuansha… had disappeared from view.
However, beneath the stone lion, blood seeped out, along with a piece of cloth.
The Shi Family members couldn’t help but gulp, swallowing their saliva with great difficulty.
Shi Yuansha had been crushed into a meat patty.
A mighty Martial Sect, standing at the peak of Hua Yuan Nation’s martial arts, had just been smashed to death by a stone—how could they believe this?
—Although the stone was indeed a bit large.
Then, their numb gaze shifted to Shi Hao, who was leisurely dusting off his hands as if he were merely flicking away dust.
For him, killing a Martial Sect was just a matter of a simple hand gesture.
This, what kind of monster is this?!
Outside the mansion, the onlookers had also witnessed this scene and seemed to take it as a given.
A Martial Venerable killing a Martial Sect was no different than a father beating his son, wasn’t it?
“Stone, why are you stealing my job?” the chubby man protested.
Shi Hao smiled, “It saves time. Besides, it also saves one from needing a coffin.”
Upon hearing this, the Shi Family members were naturally even more enraged, yet they knew that these two men were too strong to be disobeyed recklessly.
They sent another signal, calling for help from the stronger members within the mansion.
In no time, over a dozen people rushed out, among them, even senior Martial Sects.
This was the depth of a top-tier family in the Imperial Capital—not only did they have senior Martial Sects at their disposal, but there was more than one.
Shi Hao stood with his hands clasped behind his back and said indifferently, “My foster father could have inherited the position of patriarch of the Shi Family but was schemed against by Shi Fengyun, who stripped him of all his cultivation. Today, I have come to seek justice. Anyone who harmed my foster father or failed to uphold justice for him will be provided with a coffin as a parting gift.”
How domineering! Seeking revenge for past grievances, this is understandable, but even those who did not uphold justice for Shi Tianyang now serve as a reason for your slaughter?
Hiss, this youth’s thirst for killing is far too heavy.
“Madness!” a middle-aged man in his fifties sneered, “I was considering, given your talent and on the account of Shi Tianyang, to take you into the Shi Mansion and cultivate you properly. Alas, you’ve learned nothing else but inherited Shi Tianyang’s radicalness, barging into our mansion to run wild. Now, I’ll have to send you to hell!”
“To hell?” Shi Hao burst into laughter. “I am the Asura God of Killing that has walked out of hell. Today, I’ve come to reap your souls, send you to the netherworld, and have you apologize properly to my foster father!”
