Chapter 285

In the streets and alleys, in the restaurants and inns, wherever there were cultivators, they were talking about Zi Chen's deeds with great gusto.

That battle seemed to have grown wings, and it spread through all the cities. Furthermore, what people described was almost exactly the same as what had happened in reality.

The truth was almost exactly the same. Every day, one could hear vivid and soul-stirring narration.

"The Cang family, the Li family, the Martial Ancestor, and the Chu family all went back on their word. They were shameless to the extreme. They had the heavily injured Zi Chen fight a monster, and they even said it was a fair fight."

"They swore on the face of their families, but after Zi Chen killed the Chu family's monster, they still went back on their word. They really don't care about face at all."

The shamelessness of the large powers was also spread without missing a single word. The large powers' reputations began to plummet.

Some people kept their word and spread this news.

"You don't know how terrified those large powers were when Su Long appeared. They almost pissed their pants. They were so shameless that one of them was killed by a single finger from Su Long."

"Let me tell you, there is a superpower outside the southern region called the Martial Heaven Alliance. They have a group of Celestial experts, each one of them unparalleled."

"The reason why Zi Chen is so powerful and has unparalleled battle prowess to be able to kill five monstrous geniuses in a row is because Zi Chen is a Sky level warrior."

Practically everything that had happened that day was spread without missing a single word. Furthermore, many of the details were intentionally changed. The despicable ones were even more despicable, the righteous ones were even more righteous, the powerful ones were even more powerful, and the domineering ones were even more domineering.

Because of Zi Chen, the large powers had lost all their face. Their credibility had also fallen.

Furthermore, a large number of cultivators had entered other large cities.

"If you go to Cang Li City, be careful of offending the Cang and Li families. You don't have a powerful backer like Zi Chen. At that time, you won't even know how you died."

"The Chu family's dignity is not to be violated. You have to be careful. If some of the Chu family's silk pants provoke you, you have to run far away. They fear the strong, but they will bully the weak."

The events of that day were reconstructed, and the shamelessness of the major factions was vividly described. This caused many rogue cultivators to feel uneasy in their hearts, and they quickly left the two cities.

None of the experts who went out returned, and even the evildoers were killed. The Martial Sect Wu Ruoshan was furious, and on that day, the roar of a reclusive elder was heard, and he threatened to seek justice.

However, after hearing about Su Long's origins and learning that the Martial Heaven Alliance was a Celestial expert, he shut his mouth. Instead, he was nervous that Su Long would attack them.

The Martial Ancestor was in a state of alert. He was prepared to use his trump cards at any time. It was not to destroy the enemy, but to intimidate them.

However, Su Long did not appear.

As for Zi Chen, it was like he had vanished into thin air. No one saw him again. Some guessed that Zi Chen had followed Su Long to the southern region to join the Martial Heaven Alliance.

There were also people who guessed that Zi Chen had gone to the Floating Mist Sect. He would only leave once he was a bit stronger.

While Zi Chen's incident was spreading like wildfire and everyone was guessing where Zi Chen had gone, a sudden clap of thunder came from a mountain range a hundred miles away from Cangli City. The sound of rolling heavenly thunder was so loud that it was deafening. Then, a series of heavenly thunders appeared in the sky.

The sky was clear and boundless, but there were bolts of heavenly lightning striking down. It was very strange, and each bolt was stronger than the previous one. Countless trees were destroyed, mountains were blasted into canyons, and rocks were shattered. Vaguely, one could see a figure bathing in the lightning, resisting the lightning.

In the end, the lightning was like a chain of heaven and earth, piercing through heaven and earth. The dazzling light could be seen from more than ten miles away. The vast momentum scared away many birds and beasts, forming a beast tide that trampled on the ground.

Quite a few people heard the commotion and rushed over. They saw a scene of destruction. Half of the tall mountain range had been destroyed by the lightning. What had been a mountain range had been reduced to canyons. Everything within thousands of meters had become a vacuum. Some of the ancient trees in the distance were still smoking.

Apart from the mountain range that had been struck by the heavenly lightning and was in a complete mess, there was nothing else here.

It had been over ten days since the gathering of geniuses. The public opinion still hadn't weakened. However, Cang Li City had lost a great deal of cultivators, causing many of the shops' business to be bleak.

Within Cang Li City, the Chen family's residence was also very bleak.

"Our profits have clearly dropped in the past few days. Furthermore, some people know that we offended Zi Chen, so they're even more unwilling to come to our shop," reported an accountant.

In the hall sat the Chen family's head and two True Essence experts.

"Alright, you can leave." The Chen family's head waved his hand. The accountant bowed and left.

As soon as the accountant left, the second elder of the Nimbus Martial Ancestor asked, "How's that matter?"

The other old man also looked at the Chen family's head with a trace of worry in his eyes.

"Second uncle, don't worry. No one knows that it was our Chen family who did it. They're all men of sacrifice, so they won't be able to find out anything," the Chen family's head smiled bitterly and said, "It's just that the shop's business has been really bad recently."

"It's all because of that damned Zi Chen and that despicable Su Long. They can even suppress the big forces," said the Chen family's head bitterly.

The accountant would come to the Chen family every night to hand in the accounts. It was the same today. However, as soon as he walked out of the door, he felt an endless chill in his heart.

Looking up at the sky, it was pitch-black. Even Xing Chen wasn't there.

"It's going to be winter so soon."

The accountant tightened his clothes and walked towards his house. At this moment, he saw a black-clothed man appear from afar and walk towards the Chen family.

The accountant wasn't surprised. Which family didn't have any secrets?

However, what made him feel strange was that the black-clothed man actually walked to the door and knocked on it. This was very different from what he had seen in the past. The black-clothed man directly jumped over the wall and entered.

"Motherf * cker, who is it?"

Then, curses could be heard. "Do you want to die? Do you know where this is? How dare you knock on the door so late at night?"

Following the curses, the door opened with a creak. Then, the accountant's eyes widened in shock. This was because he saw a cold light appear. The guard who opened the door didn't even have time to scream before he fell into a pool of blood.

The accountant was extremely shocked. His eyes widened and his hands covered his mouth tightly. He was afraid that he would cry out in shock. Cold sweat had already drenched his body. He leaned against the corner of the wall weakly. Then, he saw the door open with a creak and a cold light flashed.

In the pitch-black night, the cold light was so bright and resplendent. However, every time it appeared, it was accompanied by a person falling to the ground and a person dying.

It was a complete massacre.

"This is an extermination of the family."

The accountant was extremely shocked. He rolled and crawled away. He knew that if there was no accident, he wouldn't be able to come tomorrow night.

Moreover, a shocking news would spread throughout the Cangli City in the morning.

The Chen family was exterminated.

This night, the Chen family suffered a great disaster. They were in great danger. The extermination of the family was right in front of their eyes.

"Puff." "Puff."

A figure walked in the darkness, appearing and disappearing like a ghost, but also like a malicious spirit, silently taking away one fresh life after another.

Blood dyed the bluestone road red. The guards fell down one by one.

In the pitch-black night, there were no stars and no moon. It could be described as a night of murder. Muffled groans could be heard constantly as the guards fell to the ground one by one.

"Who is it?"

After dozens of people died, someone finally realized that something was wrong. He let out a shout and walked over.

"Swoosh."

A bright light flashed, illuminating the surroundings. The guard saw a masked black-clothed man with a pair of cold and ruthless eyes.

The blade fell and the guard fell into a pool of blood.

"Who is it?"

At the same time, someone else noticed the abnormality and exclaimed. Then, footsteps sounded and three guards ran over.

The shining blade appeared. The black-clothed man was like a god of death, harvesting lives one by one.

"Puff." "Puff."

Blood spurted out and the three guards fell to the ground. This was simply a massacre. No one could survive a second strike from the black-clothed man.

There were even more guards who followed the sound, and there were even more who fell into the pool of blood.

"No, don't kill me."

A woman hid in the corner with a four or five-year-old child. Seeing the black-clothed man coming, she begged again and again. Her eyes were full of horror.

Seeing the two, the black-clothed man's cold eyes flickered. He turned his head and walked to the other side.

"Murder, murder, someone is killing people. Come quickly."

The woman screamed in horror when the black-clothed man left. Her voice was so sharp that the child in her arms cried out.

The black-clothed man was startled, but he didn't turn back. He held the long blade dripping with blood and walked forward.

The Chen family was in a mess. The sound of footsteps could be heard continuously. Loud shouts, angry shouts, and roars could be heard one after another.

The screams of women and children and the cries of children made the chaotic Chen family even more chaotic.

The black-clothed man strode forward. Everyone who stood in his way fell under the long blade. The blade flashed and cultivators fell one by one. No one could withstand a second strike.

This was a path stained with blood, and it was also a tragic massacre.

"Family Head, something bad has happened."

In the hall, a guard suddenly rushed in and exclaimed. He seemed to be in a panic.

"Why are you in such a panic? Don't you know where this is?" The Chen family's Family Head sat in the main seat and asked. He seemed to be dignified.

"Someone came to kill us."

The guard said directly. He was terrified. There was blood on his body. It was splashed on his body when his companion died.

He risked his life to come out and report the news.

"What? Which power is so bold to cause trouble for my Chen family? How many people are there?" The Chen family's Family Head flew into a rage and stood up.

The other two family uncles also had murderous intent in their eyes.

"One black-clothed man."

The guard's voice was trembling. Although the other party was only one person, he was like a butcher. He killed people like he was killing chickens and dogs.

"What? How dare one person come to my Chen family and behave so atrociously? He is simply courting death." The Chen family's Family Head was furious. "Come, follow me and have a look."

As soon as he finished speaking, a series of miserable shrieks were heard. It was very mournful, and after that, there was a lot of chaos. The entire Chen Clan was in a state of chaos.

"It's just one person. How could he make such a mess?"

The Chen family's Family Head was very dissatisfied. He walked out angrily. At the same time, the two family elders followed closely behind.
