Chapter 134: Chapter 134: Golden Core Eighth Layer

Annihilate the Jin Family!

The members of the Tang Family felt a jolt. In their joy and excitement over Yi Xiaoyao’s appearance, they had momentarily forgotten their hatred for the Jin Family. Now that he had mentioned it, they all came to their senses.

"That’s right! The Jin Family has always wanted to destroy our Tang Family Castle. Now that Yi Xiaoyao is back and has killed Jin Canghai and his men, we must eradicate them root and branch—annihilate the Jin Family completely!"

"Annihilate the Jin Family! Annihilate the Jin Family!"

Everyone in the Tang Family was fired up, their spirits soaring as they all roared in unison.

This left the surrounding onlookers, who had not yet dispersed, completely astonished. It seemed the Jin Family was truly finished this time.

"This ending is too dramatic! Just a moment ago, the Jin Family was crushing the Tang Family Castle and about to swallow the Tang Family whole. I never expected it would turn into the Tang Family wanting to annihilate the Jin Family instead!"

"And all of this is because of one person. Yi Xiaoyao’s appearance instantly turned the tables!"

"A single powerful expert is enough to change a family’s destiny!"

The people of the Tang Family Castle marched towards the Jin Family’s estate with immense momentum. Even the old, weak, and infirm joined in, wanting to witness the Jin Family’s destruction with their own eyes.

Yi Xiaoyao was surrounded by the crowd, the source of all the Tang Family’s confidence.

As for the crowd of onlookers, they all followed the Tang Family as well.

The Jin Family, the number one family in Hunting City, was going to be destroyed today!

This explosive news didn’t just spread from one to ten, then ten to a hundred. Instead, it swept through all of Hunting City in an instant, like a storm.

People from all over Hunting City even rushed over to witness the Jin Family’s destruction, as this would become an indelible part of Hunting City’s history.

As more and more people joined the Tang Family Castle’s procession to the Jin Family’s estate, they lent the Tang Family an overwhelming momentum, even if they wouldn’t help in the fight.

Yi Xiaoyao was at the very front of the Tang Family crowd. He hadn’t expected this to happen.

However, Yi Xiaoyao didn’t care about any of that right now. His mind was on the devastatingly beautiful Yun Mengling beside him.

Yi Xiaoyao gave the small hand he was still holding tightly a gentle squeeze, earning him a glare from a blushing Yun Mengling.

"You jerk, don’t push your luck! You can let go of me now, right?"

Yun Mengling tried to pull her hand away, pouting as she whispered.

Yi Xiaoyao chuckled and said, "Nope. I remember what you said to Tang Ruoxue very clearly."

"I... I didn’t say anything!"

Yun Mengling immediately lowered her head, denying it shyly.

But she had indeed told Tang Ruoxue that she would cherish Yi Xiaoyao.

At the time, her words had been tinged with the rivalry between two women, but weren’t they also her true feelings?

Seeing this, Yi Xiaoyao just smiled faintly and tightened his grip on Yun Mengling’s hand.

...

Meanwhile, the news that the Tang Family was going to annihilate the Jin Family had exploded within the Jin Family’s own walls.

"This is bad! This is bad! The Patriarch has been killed! The Tang Family is coming to wipe us out!"

"Run!"

Cries that struck terror into the hearts of everyone in the Jin Family rose up throughout the Jin Mansion.

The women of the Jin Family were all packing their valuables, shouldering large and small bundles as they tried to flee for their lives before the Tang Family arrived.

In front of the Jin Mansion’s gate stood a middle-aged man holding a long saber.

Several clan members who had tried to escape with their valuables lay motionless at his feet. Blood trickled down his long saber, dripping onto their corpses one drop at a time.

Before him stood a crowd of other Jin Clan Members who also planned to flee, each with a look of terror on their face.

"Anyone who dares to flee will die!"

the saber-wielding middle-aged man roared at them in a low voice.

The clan members were both frightened and furious. A bolder woman stepped forward and shouted at the man, "Why won’t you let us leave? Are you going to make us all wait here to die?"

"Exactly! If you want to die, don’t drag the rest of us down with you!"

"The Patriarch is dead! The rest of us are no match for the Tang Family. Just let us go and leave some descendants for the Jin Family!"

The others also protested loudly and indignantly, completely failing to understand why he wouldn’t let them escape.

The middle-aged man didn’t grow angry in the face of their protests. He surveyed the crowd, his gaze calm and steady.

"I’m not letting you flee because you are not going to die, and the Jin Family will not fall!" he declared in a deep voice.

The Jin Clan Members all looked skeptical, but they waited for the middle-aged man’s explanation.

The middle-aged man said, "Our Jin Family’s plan to swallow the Tang Family was an order from the Cloud Transformation Sect. And just a few days ago, the Cloud Transformation Sect sent an elder-level expert, who is staying in our Jin Mansion right now!"

Hearing this, the faces of the clan members lit up with joy.

An elder from the Cloud Transformation Sect! That was an expert countless times more powerful than their Patriarch!

This meant the Jin Family was saved!

Just then, a middle-aged man in a white robe walked out of the Jin Mansion, his expression arrogant.

"What in the world is going on?"

The white-robed man saw the chaotic crowd of Jin Family members and asked with a frown.

The face of the saber-wielding middle-aged man at the gate lit up, and he hurried forward to greet him.

"Elder Lei Zhen, I’m sure you’ve heard the gist of what’s happened. The Tang Family is on their way here now. I beg you, Elder Lei Zhen, please save our Jin Family!"

Lei Zhen raised an eyebrow and said nonchalantly, "But of course. Jin Canghai’s death is related to my Cloud Transformation Sect, so I naturally won’t sit by and do nothing."

As he spoke, he asked, "Do you know who it was that killed Jin Canghai?"

"I heard it was that little bastard who escaped before, Yi Xiaoyao!" the saber-wielding man said through gritted teeth.

"What?!" Lei Zhen’s expression was one of shock, which quickly turned into delight. "It’s actually Yi Xiaoyao?"

One must understand, the main reason the Cloud Transformation Sect had sent him to urge the Jin Family to destroy the Tang Family Castle was that Yi Xiaoyao had angered the Sect Leader.

He never expected Yi Xiaoyao to actually show up. How could Lei Zhen not be overjoyed?

"What an unexpected prize! In that case, I’ll just wait for that Yi Xiaoyao to walk to his death, and I’ll wipe out the Tang Family while I’m at it!" Lei Zhen roared with laughter.

...

Meanwhile, the Tang Family contingent had arrived outside the Jin Mansion.

With all eyes on him, Yi Xiaoyao stepped forward, drew his sword, and slashed at the mansion’s main gate.

SWOOSH!

The Jin Mansion’s gate was sliced in two as if it were tofu, split by the astonishing Sword Qi before collapsing with a crash.

Then, the Sword Qi shot into the mansion, its power undiminished.

Just then, a deafening clap of thunder rang out. A Thunder Fist shot out from within the gate, instantly obliterating the thousand streams of Sword Qi.

"What?!"

Yi Xiaoyao and the others cried out in alarm, their expressions changing drastically in the next moment.

After shattering his Sword Qi, the Thunder Fist came rumbling toward him.

"This aura... It’s the Golden Core Eighth Layer!!"
