Chu Feng let out a cold shout, rushing forward to position himself in front of his sister-in-law, sheltering her behind him.
Even when facing a group of fierce and terrifying guards from the Qiao Family, Chu Feng’s presence remained formidable. His bravery radiated invisibly, exuding a valor that seemed impossible to defeat by any multitude.
The sister-in-law had been frightened out of her wits and cried out despairingly, "Young Uncle, if something truly happens to your Senior Brother, I will never live alone! Remember, no matter what happens to Sword King Mansion, you must survive!"
"And, you are now a man; you must protect your second sister, Chu Yun!"
The sister-in-law shared a profound love with his Senior Brother, enduring hardships together. Suddenly hearing about Chu Jianlan’s grave trouble, to be executed, she felt as if the sky had collapsed on her.
She was in utter despair and helplessness.
"Sister-in-law, stop talking ! Senior Brother is blessed by the heavens, nothing will happen to him!" Chu Feng was very aware of his sister-in-law’s resolute character. The words she spoke sounded ominously like a last testament.
Hearing about his Senior Brother facing execution, coupled with the relentless pressure from the Qiao Family, she might very well do something foolish like committing suicide in public.
"Humph, that’s not pessimism, that’s the hard truth! You brothers of Sword King Mansion have no other talents, but when it comes to lying and deceiving with sweet talk, you are indeed first class,"
"That bastard Chu Jianlan used his smooth-talking to deceive my daughter into marrying him, and now that he’s about to be led to the executioner’s block, you, this ineffective scholar and failed warrior, still spew lies!"
An elder from the Qiao Family pointed at Chu Feng, cursing with a ferocious and sinister expression.
This elder was the father of Chu Feng’s sister-in-law; resenting Chu Jianlan to the bone for marrying his daughter into the declining Sword King Mansion over the years.
He had repeatedly tried to break apart Chu Jianlan and Qiao Yue’er, but alas, a grown daughter can’t be held back by her parents.
Qiao Yue’er was determined to marry Chu Jianlan, and no one could persuade her otherwise.
"Well scolded! The two brothers of the Chu Family are big frauds with honeyed words and deceitful tongues! The epitome of scum!"
"Like rats on the street, everyone yells ’hit them,’ and they are doomed by all!"
A sinister voice sounded as someone forcefully intruded into Sword King Mansion. It was none other than Prince Liu and Prince Liu Ping, accompanied by a few guards and house slaves.
Chu Jianlan had killed Team Leader Wang, causing a great disaster; everyone deemed him doomed.
They were here to kick Sword King Mansion into the abyss.
"Qiao Yue’er, I, Prince Liu, can testify that Chu Jianlan indeed caused a great catastrophe and is undoubtedly destined to die," said Prince Liu with an authoritative face.
Qiao Yue’er’s body shook violently, her face pale, biting her lips hard to keep from crying out loud.
Tears, like beads off a string, continuously rolled down her smooth, fair cheeks.
Pat, pat, falling to the ground.
"Chu Feng, you trash, get out of my way! You lot, take the young lady back!" ordered Qiao Yue’er’s father harshly.
Chu Feng’s expression turned icy; his gaze frosty, realizing that he had no choice but to reveal the Abnormal Fire.
If these people dared to attack, he would turn them to ashes in an instant.
But since the Abnormal Fire was too precious and shocking, once revealed, Chu Feng would be thrust into controversy. At the very least, it would attract the attention of many formidable figures in Alchemy Dao.
Various alchemy families or forces would compete to recruit him.
"All members of the Chu Family, heed my command, protect the Princess with your lives!" Chu Feng roared just as fiercely.
The Evil Slave Ah-Chang and the gatekeeper Chu Danzi, these shrimp soldiers and crab generals, all brandished their weapons, standing guard firmly in front of Chu Feng.
Their strength was limited, but they had all been secretly won over by Chu Feng.
Those who were not loyal enough, those who were problematic, had all met King Yan.
For instance, the former Chief Luo and people like Luo Mao, they had all been dealt with by Chu Feng.
"Who dares to touch my sister-in-law, I will fight them to the death!" At this critical moment, Chu Feng’s second sister finally emerged. She had been in closed-door cultivation, preparing for her entry into the Ten Thousand Sword Sect.
Despite their efforts, the side of Sword King Mansion remained at a disadvantage.
Prince Liu was even more ruthless, his face full of authority as he scolded Chu Feng and Chu Yun, "Your parents died early, and no one disciplined you, that’s why you’ve both developed such wild natures!"
"Today, this Prince will discipline you on behalf of your deceased parents!"
As he spoke, Prince Liu gestured to the guards behind him and commanded, "Go on, as long as you don’t take their lives, there’s no problem with how you do it!"
Emboldened by the large number of guards from the Prince Manor, Liu Ping drew his sword and leapt forward, pointing at Chu Feng and shouting, "Chu Feng, if you have the guts, come out and face your death! This Prince will not rest until I sever both of your arms today!"
After a night of painstaking cultivation, Chu Feng had advanced another level.
He now possessed the cultivation of a Seventh Rank Swordsman. How could Chu Feng be afraid when Liu Ping dared to strut and bully in front of him?
What he was most worried about was his sister-in-law doing something foolish in her despair.
Desperate diseases must have desperate remedies; he had to make his sister-in-law abandon any thoughts of suicide out of grief for her husband.
"Seeking death, then I shall grant it to you!"
With those words, Chu Feng, sword in hand, leapt out and delivered two swift sword strikes.
Liu Ping couldn’t even see Chu Feng’s movements clearly, let alone fend off the attacks.
Amidst the screams, blood splattered, and both arms fell to the ground.
One of them was still tightly clutching the treasure sword, twitching like a prawn, ceaselessly writhing.
"Wuu... Father, avenge your son!" With a cry, Liu Ping fell unconscious from the pain.
Watching his son get his arms severed, Prince Liu was nearly enraged to the point of fainting. He felt waves of darkness within his vision and was overwhelmed by fury.
"How dare you hurt my son, today you will pay with your life!" Prince Liu drew his sword, the cultivation of a Great Sword Master fully displayed.
The sword light was clearly visible at the tip of his sword.
Fending off an average Swordsman was already a struggle, let alone opposing Prince Liu, a Great Sword Master. No one in the Sword King Mansion could stop him.
It seemed that Chu Feng was in mortal danger.
At this critical moment, several figures rushed in from outside.
"Who is this bastard daring to harm the descendants of my benefactor?" came a coarse shout, filled with the unique arrogance and ferocity of a gang leader.
The newcomer was none other than Bloody Beard, who had received the news and hurried to the rescue.
He had heard that the Qiao Family was causing trouble at the Sword King Mansion and, worried about Chu Feng’s safety, immediately brought his skilled men to rush over.
He didn’t expect to be a step too late, with blood already spilled on the ground.
Fortunately, Chu Feng was unharmed.
"Hu Wanshan, you’d better mind your own business! If you dare to interfere with this Prince revenging his son today, don’t blame this Prince for fighting you to the death!" Prince Liu shouted threateningly but inwardly wary.
He was no match for Bloody Beard and could only threaten him with words.
"I’m raised on flesh and blood, not scared stiff! Damn it looks like the lesson you got last time wasn’t enough!"
Bloody Beard was a lawless man, his figure exploded with movement.
With a crack, he fended off Prince Liu’s sword and, in front of so many people, gave Prince Liu two hefty slaps, making Prince Liu’s mouth bleed on the spot.
"You, you actually dare to strike this Prince?" Prince Liu trembled with rage.
"Heh heh, if you don’t get lost now, next time it won’t be just a slap. I’ll sever your arms and break your evil root!"
"Here’s another piece of advice for you, the Sword King Mansion is perfectly safe, but I guarantee that within the next couple of days, your Prince Liu Mansion will face a disaster that wipes it out!"
Bloody Beard simply didn’t regard Prince Liu as a threat.
