839 We cannot allow any further trouble.

Mi Zhanguo and Lu Zhanyuan nodded slightly. The silver-plated demon slayer led the way, and several families who had made a move to test the waters came down—the Chong family!

Lin Yi and Ren Pingsheng made no attempt to hide their true intentions, letting out a low roar, "Old ghost Yu, come out and face your death! You've been exposed!"

An old man in a long robe and inner armor held a three-foot-long sword, the Fire Essence Sword, one of the signature weapons of the Fire Spirit Sect. It was not something an ordinary person could obtain; it was forged from refined iron and fire spirit ore!

With his sword in hand, Patriarch Yu seemed brimming with confidence, his gaze unwavering. He asked in a deep voice, "Who goes there to cause trouble for no reason? Do you not take the Great Long Prefecture seriously?"

Lin Yi smiled slightly, "Old Ghost Yu, stop pretending. Secretly contacting the Fire Spirit Sect and instigating your subordinates to turn against the city's patrols and defenses is a capital offense. Surrender and you might have a chance to live!"

Old Master Yu chuckled and retorted, "Slander! This is blatant slander! You accuse me of instigating and turning people against their cause? Do you have any evidence?"

Lin Yi shook his head and chuckled, "No, but I've already investigated, so you deserve to die!"

Old Master Yu was so angry that he felt it was utterly ridiculous and unreasonable. Even wicked people can have anger!

They see themselves as slaves they can kill at will, needing no reason at all; if they don't like you, you have to die!

He was so angry that he laughed, which instantly turned into a wild laugh. The laughter rolled in like thunder, making the beams of his own house tremble!

Just as thunderous laughter was about to shatter the sky, Old Ancestor Yu, enraged, composed himself and was about to speak!

Ren Pingsheng's sword flashed like a falling meteor, aiming straight for Old Ancestor Yu's chest, not wanting to waste any more words!

The sword light, like a river pouring down from the heavens, was sharp and rainbow-like, piercing through the sky!

At the same time, the sword energy surged like a tornado, fierce and unparalleled, fast as a line, three feet long, like a lamb being slaughtered!

Ren Pingsheng's movements were unpredictable, and his sword energy suddenly burst forth, shooting out dozens of sword energies in an instant, like a galaxy appearing!

Man and sword become one, all true energy is released, and even the sound of the wind stops!

Lin Yi followed closely behind, his sword energy gathering like a dragon, roaring through the heavens. He slashed horizontally, aiming a desperate blow at Old Ancestor Yu. Both of them abandoned their defenses and fought head-on.

Take life and death lightly, kill right now!

Ancestor Yu was stunned for a moment, then enraged. He gathered his true energy, daring not to retreat, and roared, "Your sneak attack is shameless!"

The Fire Spirit Sword was activated, turning completely red, like a burning flame!

At this moment, the surroundings were as cold as the dead of winter, with countless ice crystals quietly appearing, as if the heavens were suddenly freezing!

Man reflects sword, sword reflects man; in the blink of an eye, sword becomes blade!

As Old Ancestor Yu roared, his sword burst into flames, like a furnace fire. Ren Pingsheng had already arrived first, his sword flashing, without any attempt to dodge. The clash of sword and blade was a contest of ice and fire!

In an instant, the intense cold, like icy blades, froze everything!

The intense heat is like a raging fire, enough to melt metal and stone.

The two forces intertwined and exploded with a deafening roar. The magnificent houses, artificial hills, pavilions, waterside terraces, bathing pools, and lotus flowers all around seemed to be swept away by the mudslide. The wind howled, dust flew, and everything turned to dust!

Shouts and cries of escape spread out. Before they could escape, they were swept by the fierce winds and true energy, or pierced through their chests, their heads exploding into pieces, red and white scattered all over the ground, mixing with the soil and turning into dust!

Ren Pingsheng remained stalemated, his true energy increasing, his fierce eyes fixed on killing the old ancestor Yu before him!

At the critical moment, Lin Yi arrived, his blade flashing as he slashed down from the air, aiming straight for the head.

The blade energy shot out like the setting sun breaking through snow, its red light dazzling, its sharpness seemingly capable of cleaving through the void.

A single, magnificent, and deadly strike, showcasing the pinnacle of swordsmanship.

The powerful sword energy descended instantly. Old Ancestor Yu tried desperately to escape, but Ren Pingsheng held him off with all his might, relentlessly pursuing him. Old Ancestor Yu dared not be distracted for even a moment!

A blinding light pierced the air, impossible to dodge. Old Ancestor Yu's expression turned horrified, and he roared, "Let me leave! I'll never come out again!"

The blade's energy surged like a rainbow, its weight increasing without diminishing in the slightest—a strike delivered without reservation!

The swift slash struck instantly, hitting Old Ancestor Yu's head.

After Old Master Yu parried with his sword, he was momentarily distracted when Ren Pingsheng swung his sword again, its brilliant light flashing as the sword's edge grazed his neck!

A single slash severed the throat, blood splattering like a hero wielding his brush!

It rolled down, truly the head of Old Ancestor Yu, dying with eyes wide open and unwilling to accept his fate, his eyes bloodshot, whether from bitterness, tears, or inexplicable regret!

Ren Pingsheng seemed unfazed, waving his hand and instantly whispering the order, "Leave no one alive!"

There are still remnants of the former head of the Yu family in the mansion. They will always be a menace if they are left behind. If they have a bad reputation, then I will take the blame!

Lin Yi's gaze faltered slightly, then he nodded gently and said in a low voice, "I'll handle this. You don't need to bear such burdens. I'm old; these infamys are meaningless to me!"

Ren Pingsheng's eyes flashed, and he said in a low voice, "I wasn't like that before, and I still am now!"

The sword was slightly cold, but the killing intent remained undiminished. Some people are better left to be dealt with by me!

Lu Zhanyuan and Mi Zhanguo kept walking. Outside the Chong family's gate, the guards were on high alert, seemingly worried about something for the past two days!

The two men's gazes were like ice. Lu Zhanyuan's eyes burned with raging anger, and he roared, his voice booming like a bell: "The Chong family traitors have colluded with foreign enemies, plotted wicked deeds, dared to instigate the patrol, and openly violated the ironclad rules set by Lord He!"

"You will all surrender immediately, and you may be spared your lives; otherwise, your blood will be spilled on the spot!"

The atmosphere suddenly tensed, the air itself seemed to freeze, as if the Grim Reaper was issuing a death warrant, the warning as sharp as thunder: 'Those who do not surrender in three breaths will be killed!'

"Who dares to cause trouble in my Chong family? My Chong family has been loyal and virtuous for generations, and is a well-known family of good deeds in Dalong Prefecture!" The Chong family head, wearing soft armor and wielding a sword, rushed over. He was at the peak of the sixth rank!

Behind him, a hundred guards, armed with swords, bows and arrows, and shields, rushed forward!

A murderous intent arose, and their imposing power was overwhelming!

He must have been promised great benefits, otherwise he wouldn't have dared to act as a pawn like this!

The wind fell silent in an instant, and people fell speechless in an instant!

Three breaths later, Lu Zhanyuan and Mi Zhanguo unleashed a torrent of sword energy, like mountains shifting and Mount Tai pressing down. With a combined attack, endless sword energy crashed down.

It was like a meteorite falling from the sky, causing the ground to sink three feet!

The head of the Chong family reacted swiftly, his eyes filled with shock, resentment, and regret, as if to say, "You haven't produced any evidence yet! How could you attack without evidence? You even launched a surprise attack! I refuse to accept this!"

Under the devastating blow, he tried his best to resist with his sword, but he was powerless to do so.

With a flash of light, the heads of the Chong family members flew three feet into the air, the ground sank three feet, and many of the guards fell to the ground, their blood flowing everywhere, a crimson stain.

The Chong family guards suffered heavy casualties, and the Chong family members were terrified upon seeing this, scattering and fleeing in all directions, leaving the Chong family mansion in chaos.

The swords were drawn without pause, and no one was spared. Evil was eradicated completely. The silver-plated demon slayers, bronze-plated demon slayers, and others had already followed closely behind, pursuing with their swords drawn. In the distance, silver-plated demon slayers also blocked the way!

We cannot allow any further trouble tonight!
