Chapter 701: Chapter 700: Slaughtering the Chen Family

The speaker was the Chen Family Patriarch, the Martial Artist at the Fourth Level of the Primordial Ocean Realm who had returned to town two years ago. A mocking smile played on his lips as he looked at Qin Feng.

The Chen Family Patriarch was about ten years older than Qin Feng. He had known Qin Feng since they were children, remembering him as nothing more than a hedonistic good-for-nothing.

During his many years away from the small town, the Chen Family Patriarch had traveled far and wide, enduring some hardships and raising his cultivation to the Fourth Level of the Primordial Ocean Realm.

However, the Chen Family Patriarch knew full well that this level of cultivation was nothing special out in the wider world. That was why he had returned to the small town. Though it wasn’t very prosperous, his cultivation at the Fourth Level of the Primordial Ocean Realm was more than enough to let him reign supreme here.

He slowly walked up to Qin Feng and glanced at his severed right arm. Unable to sense any cultivation from him, and seeing the missing limb, the Chen Family Patriarch naturally assumed that Qin Feng had suffered a major setback out in the world, had his cultivation crippled, and had come crawling back to town.

The Chen Family Patriarch never once imagined that Qin Feng’s current cultivation was at the Celestial Spirit Realm—a level high enough to qualify him as a Main Seat Elder in a major power like Celestial Eagle Valley.

"Qin Feng, you were a good-for-nothing as a child, and now that you’re grown, you actually tried to follow others out into the world to make a name for yourself? Now you’ve had an arm chopped off and come scurrying back with your tail between your legs?" the Chen Family Patriarch sneered at Qin Feng.

Qin Feng’s expression remained unchanged at his words. ’People like the Chen Family Patriarch have no heart for becoming truly strong. They only know how to bully the weak. He got lucky enough to reach the Fourth Level of the Primordial Ocean Realm, then came back to this small town to lord over everyone.’

’There’s no point getting angry at trash like him. I could kill him with a single strike.’

"Your Chen Family has extorted a great deal of money from my Qin Family every month," Qin Feng said calmly. "I’ve come today for a resolution. The Chen Family will no longer suppress or threaten the Qin Family."

Hearing this, the Chen Family Patriarch burst out laughing. "Qin Feng, have you gone mad? Do you really think I’ll let the Qin Family off the hook just because you showed up and said a few words? What a complete moron."

’It’s better this way. Leaving you alive would only cause future trouble. Since that’s your answer, the Chen Family no longer needs to exist.’ The Chen Family Patriarch’s response was just what Qin Feng had expected. A cold smirk appeared on his lips, and in the next instant, the full power of his Celestial Spirit Realm Minor Achievement cultivation erupted from him.

The Elemental Power of the Celestial Spirit Realm Minor Achievement stunned everyone present. The Chen Family guards had never seen a Celestial Spirit Realm expert before—in fact, they had rarely even seen anyone from the Primordial Ocean Realm.

But now, faced with Qin Feng’s explosive display of Elemental Power, the Chen Family guards all felt that even an expert of the Primordial Ocean Realm would be nothing but a joke before him.

"Ce... Celestial Spirit Realm..." The most shocked, without a doubt, was the Chen Family Patriarch. He had witnessed the power of a Celestial Spirit Realm expert before and knew the immense gap between it and the Primordial Ocean Realm.

’Forget my own cultivation at the mere Fourth Level of the Primordial Ocean Realm and my mediocre combat power; even someone at the Ninth Layer of Primordial Ocean Realm was worlds apart from the Celestial Spirit Realm.’

"The Chen Family can disappear now." Without wasting any more words, Qin Feng spoke in a calm tone after unleashing his cultivation. At the same time, a longsword materialized in his hand.

Hearing Qin Feng’s words and feeling the terrifying power radiating from him, the Chen Family Patriarch was dying with regret. He never could have imagined that Qin Feng had actually broken through to the Celestial Spirit Realm.

’With such a high level of cultivation, forget this small town—no one in the entire Yanhuang Country could touch him.’

"Young Master Qin, please, listen to me! I swear, from now on, the Chen Family will never dare to show the slightest disrespect to the Qin Family..." It was obvious he was no match for Qin Feng. Without a second thought, Patriarch Chen immediately began to beg for his life.

But Qin Feng didn’t even pause at Patriarch Chen’s plea. The longsword in his hand swung down viciously as he uttered a low cry, "Taiqing Nine Swords, One Sword Stuns the Wild Geese."

The Sword Qi was so sharp that Patriarch Chen barely had time to react before his body was cleaved in two.

With the death of the Fourth Level Primordial Ocean Realm Patriarch Chen, Qin Feng turned his attention to the Chen Family guards. He spared none of them. Even though they were once guards of the Qin Family, such turncoats were unworthy of any sympathy.

Amidst cries of begging and wailing, Qin Feng slaughtered the entire Chen Family in less than half an hour. From the servants to the wives and children, not a single person was left alive.

Having followed Lin Yun for so long, Qin Feng understood a simple truth: once you make an enemy, you can’t give them a sliver of a chance. You either do nothing at all, or you see it through to the bitter end without mercy.

He wasn’t doing this for himself, but for Qin Shitian and Qin Shanhe—for his grandfather and father. The Qin Family had to continue living in this town, and if he didn’t eliminate every last member of the Chen Family, they would inevitably seek revenge.

In just half an hour, the entire Chen Family had been exterminated. The news spread like wildfire throughout the small town, and almost everyone knew that the one responsible was the Qin Family’s former good-for-nothing young master, Qin Feng.

All at once, those who had previously curried favor with the Chen Family and helped suppress the Qin Family felt a chill run down their spines. They were terrified that Qin Feng would come for them next.

Naturally, such explosive news reached Qin Shitian and Qin Shanhe. Upon hearing that Qin Feng had killed every last person in the Chen Family, Qin Shitian simply remarked calmly.

"My grandson has grown up."

He had wiped out the entire Chen Family without batting an eye. It was clear Qin Feng had changed immensely over the past few years. This disposition alone was enough for Qin Shitian to know that his grandson had truly become a ruthless and decisive expert.

Meanwhile, Lin Yun, who was strolling through town with the three women, also overheard the surrounding chatter. The town wasn’t large, so news of such a major event had spread with incredible speed; even the common folk were talking about it.

"Brother Lin Yun, did Qin Feng really kill everyone in the Chen Family? Isn’t that a bit too cruel?" Mo Qingliu asked, linking her arm through his.

Hearing Mo Qingliu’s question, Lin Yun glanced at the three women. Lu Bingning and Lan Xi understood why Qin Feng had done what he did, but Mo Qingliu did not. Lin Yun then began to explain.

"If you don’t pull out the weeds by the roots, they will grow back when the spring winds blow. Mr. Qin and his family want to live out their old age in peace here, and to do that, they need someone who can keep everyone else in line through fear. Qin Feng is that person."

By slaughtering the entire Chen Family with such iron-blooded methods, Qin Feng was ensuring the future safety of the Qin Family.

With this event now deeply seared into everyone’s minds, even after Qin Feng leaves, anyone who thinks of making a move against the Qin Family will have to first consider whether they can withstand his wrath. That was Qin Feng’s true goal.
