I only seek to enjoy the present moment, regardless of dying in a foreign land tomorrow. With a blade in hand, I'll slay demons and men alike. "Ladies and gentlemen, please be on your way!&...
788 The Tong family also has its day.
Their fame spread far and wide, and they were praised and lauded, as if they had swept away the demons behind the scenes, the culprits, just like a chivalrous knight who had vanquished demons.
During the reign of the Holy Emperor, the Demon Slayer Bureau, city guards, and local soldiers were all present. The Holy Emperor's majesty and radiance shone throughout the dynasty, while the shadowy could only hide in fear.
Now, those who have been suppressing their desires for a long time, wanting to embark on the path of pseudo-invincibility, simply to break through their current realm, will become the pinnacle cultivators in the future, and have long been unable to restrain themselves.
Finding a breakthrough between life and death, even a slight tear in one's clothes can cause alarm. Sharp blades and terrifying blood and energy are all for slaying the unknown infected, the unarmed infected.
Inside the Tong family home, a gentle breeze carries the fragrance of flowers through the exquisitely carved window lattices.
Inside, Tong Wuye, who had just gotten up and was embracing his concubine, felt incredibly sweet, as if he could see his son, the future King of Martial Arts, about to break through to the next level.
He couldn't help but feel incredibly excited, thinking to himself, "That's how I broke through to the Martial King realm at the end of the previous dynasty. It's so exhilarating! Only by releasing my inner expectations, walking the invincible path, and cutting down all obstacles in my way can I feel truly thrilled!"
Only then can one break through. As for Martial Emperor and Martial King, I'll be satisfied. Martial Emperor is currently traveling as a Holy Emperor; perhaps he needs to secretly go out and try to break through.
At that moment, the maid was not far from the door!
The concubine parted her lips slightly and personally fed a piece of crystal-clear, sweet pastry to Master Tong, who was sitting on the soft couch.
"Hmm, not bad!" Master Tong tasted the pastries, a satisfied look in his eyes, and nodded slightly.
Dressed in a luxurious robe, with his chest exposed and a jade thumb ring on his finger, King Wu exuded extraordinary charisma in every gesture.
Looking at his concubine, who had worked so hard last night, now so delicate and lovely, he felt a surge of pride. Gently holding her soft hand, he casually said, "I've already arranged things for your little brother. He can go to the family's silk workshop as a manager tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, the beautiful woman's face blossomed into a radiant smile, a smile that seemed to shimmer with the light of gold.
I was secretly delighted, knowing that my efforts last night had paid off handsomely.
So she leaned close to Master Tong's ear and whispered in a soft, alluring voice, "Thank you, Master. Thank you so much. You're the best to me!"
Yesterday I went to the market and picked out two elegant skirts and blouses. I'd like to show the other outfit to my husband tonight; I wonder if he'll be satisfied!
A fiery glint flashed in Master Tong's eyes as he gently stroked the beauty's hand and said eagerly, "Since you're so kind, go change and let me see."
It's still early; it's the perfect time to enjoy the scenery.
Upon hearing this, the beautiful woman was overjoyed and quickly got up to go to her boudoir.
Before long, she changed into a brand new dress. The short skirt accentuated her long legs, and the short top outlined her graceful figure.
As she walked gracefully, she resembled a blooming peony, breathtakingly beautiful.
Upon seeing this, Master Tong's eyes were filled with admiration and eagerness.
"Master, Master, something terrible has happened!" The sound of hurried footsteps echoed in the Tong residence, accompanied by an anxious and trembling voice.
The butler strode over, wearing a dark blue robe with a gray jacket trimmed with silver.
They are indeed from a wealthy family; their clothes are quite impressive!
But the butler's face was filled with fear and tension, a fine layer of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his lips trembled involuntarily, as if he was trying hard to control his emotions.
Standing outside the door, I dared not utter a word!
Upon seeing this, Master Tong frowned, his mind disturbed, and a murderous intent immediately enveloped the steward!
It seems that if someone can't say something that might spoil their enjoyment, even a butler will be in deep trouble!
He stood up and asked in a deep voice, "Calm down, calm down!"
What happened? Why are you so flustered?
The butler took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, before answering in a trembling, fearful voice, "Master, news just arrived that the young master was killed in the street by an old man!"
Master Tong suddenly raised his head, a look of disbelief and astonishment flashing in his eyes.
She stared intently at the butler, as if trying to confirm the truth of the news from his face.
She grabbed the butler's chest and said in disbelief, "How could this be? My son is so obedient. Who could be so cruel?"
Moreover, I carefully instructed him to only provoke those with no background or connections; how could he possibly provoke a powerful figure!
Where is the White Guard? Where is the White Guard?
The steward, pale-faced and drenched in cold sweat, trembled as he struggled to breathe, saying, "Master, all six guards, including the White Guard, have been killed!"
Master Tong's face was ashen with disbelief. He slowly lifted the steward up, his expression grim.
The butler suddenly found it hard to breathe and quickly said, "Master, the young master has taken a fancy to a woman these past few days, but the woman doesn't agree."
The young master, determined to clear his name and make the woman accept her fate, beat a family to death yesterday. That family had no connections whatsoever.
This morning, upon hearing that someone had stood up for the woman, I hurriedly took the White Guards there!
Someone just brought news that the young master has been beaten to death.
At first I didn't believe it, but several informants said the same thing. The young master was beaten into a bloody mist; he might really be dead!
The butler finished speaking.
Master Tong's face instantly darkened, becoming as black as ink, and his eyes flashed with anger and ruthlessness!
He released the butler instantly, before the butler could even catch his breath!
Suddenly, Master Tong swung his fist out, and a terrifying force erupted instantly, making the air sound like clothes being torn apart!
The butler stared wide-eyed in terror, "Have mercy!"
With a deafening roar, a scream erupted instantly!
Like a sandbag struck by a giant hammer, his chest snapped in two with a loud crash, and blood gushed out from the broken pieces like a fountain, stopping just three inches away from Master Tong, like a straw hat and a wall, not penetrating an inch!
The surrounding maids were terrified by the scene and screamed in terror, all running away as fast as they could.
The concubine's legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground!
Master Tong stood still, his eyes flashing with ruthlessness, and said coldly, as if from hell, "My son is dead, why aren't you dead yet?"
Spare me! Spare who? Who will spare my son?
You all deserve to die!
"If you fail to protect us properly, your entire clan will die! I'll make you wish you were dead!"
Beneath their feet, the jade stones shattered instantly, and the powerful energy leaked out, causing the room to tremble precariously, unable to withstand its fury.
Like a roaring thunderbolt, it was furious and terrifying, as if a demon had crawled out of hell to devour everything.
Tong Wuye's eyes suddenly became as still as death, his ruthlessness seemingly swallowed up by a moment of despair, leaving only endless emptiness and sorrow.
They resembled two dried-up abysses, reflecting endless darkness and despair.
The magnificent doors and exquisite carved railings and window frames, like flying scraps of paper, suddenly filled the air with smoke and dust!
