Seeing Qiao Suinian walking towards them, the expressions of Qiao Luan and the other three changed drastically.
They never imagined that a human could survive after being stabbed in the heart.
"Old Zhou, it's your turn now!"
"Chu Yun, Chu Ting, cover your Uncle Zhou! This guy has been stabbed in the heart, I refuse to believe it won't affect him at all."
Qiao Luan, as expected of the head of the Qiao family, remained calm even at this moment.
“My life, Zhou Gang’s life, was saved by the Qiao family, and it’s time to return it to them today.”
The butler, Zhou Gang, who had not spoken until now, calmly opened his mouth. There was already a death wish in his eyes, but he would not die in vain. Even if he died, he would definitely take Qiao Suinian with him.
"Alright! Don't worry, Lao Zhou! After you die, I will definitely bury you in the Qiao family's ancestral tomb, so that you and my Qiao family's ancestors can enjoy the same treatment!"
Qiao Luan nodded repeatedly.
Without saying much, Zhou Gang gripped the dagger in his hand and charged towards Qiao Suinian.
He knew he was no match for Qiao Suinian, but he felt that as long as he fought hard, even if he couldn't win, he could still tear a piece of flesh off his opponent.
But Zhou Gang was clearly too naive.
The gap in ability cannot be bridged by working hard, just like some people work their whole lives but still can't afford a single meal for others.
He had just rushed in front of Qiao Suinian when the Dragon Spirit Demon Blade slashed out.
With a majestic dragon's roar, Zhou Gang's body, along with the dagger in his hand, was severed, the cut as smooth as a mirror.
When Zhou Gang died, the expression on his face was twisted and ferocious.
He couldn't believe that he had died without even blocking a single blow.
"Next, it's your turn."
Qiao Suinian slowly walked towards the three remaining members of the Qiao family, carrying a knife.
Qiao Luan and his two companions were terrified.
Zhou Gang's strength is among the best in the Qiao family. He just keeps a low profile and rarely takes action. He is the one who protects Qiao Luan's safety on weekdays.
But Zhou Gang was actually killed by Qiao Suinian with a single blow. What exactly did this bastard go through during this time? Why did his strength undergo such a terrifying change?
Qiao Chuting collapsed to the ground with a thud, her face filled with despair.
Although Qiao Chuyun could still stand, her legs were trembling uncontrollably.
With each step Qiao Suinian took, their hearts skipped a beat.
The process of waiting to die is far more terrifying than death itself. Many death row inmates shout in court, "Don't yell at me, I'm afraid of you, Judge!" But when the gun is pointed at the back of their heads, many break down, cry, and run away in terror.
Just as Qiao Suinian raised the Dragon Spirit Demon Blade, preparing to send Qiao Chuyun to see his elder brother, a startled cry suddenly came from behind him.
"Spare their lives! The Qiao family cannot die!"
Ouyang Mu rushed over, his face full of anxiety.
Qiao Suinian narrowed his eyes slightly. He didn't say anything, but just held up the knife and looked at Ouyang Mu.
Ouyang Mu took a deep breath and then quickly explained.
"Qiao Suinian, it's not that I want to go against you, but something has happened outside! The Mu Xian that the Abyss Demon mentioned has led an alien race to attack!"
"All forces within the capital have been drawn into the Four Symbols Legion to jointly resist foreign enemies, and the Qiao family is no exception! By killing them now, you are weakening our own human race!"
Ouyang Mu didn't want to offend Qiao Suinian at this time, but he had no other choice.
As the marshal of the Xuanwu Army, his duty was to protect his position, and he could put everything else aside for the time being.
Although only Qiao Luan and his two brothers remain from the dead Qiao family, even a fallen camel is bigger than a horse. With the Qiao family's influence in the capital, they can still play a significant role in the war effort at the front.
Qiao Suinian slowly raised her eyes, glanced at Ouyang Mu, and did not speak.
Qiao Luan and his two companions breathed a sigh of relief, and the feeling of surviving a disaster brought smiles to their faces.
"Please rest assured, Marshal Ouyang! Although my Qiao family has been harmed by treacherous people and our strength has been reduced to less than one-tenth, for the future of humanity, my Qiao family will certainly take the lead! We will devote ourselves to the cause until our dying breath!"
The fear on Qiao Luan's face disappeared, and he immediately put on the composed demeanor of the Qiao family head. In his words, he still made a veiled accusation that Qiao Suinian was a sinner against the human race, and that weakening the Qiao family's power was weakening the human race's power.
"Indeed, Marshal Ouyang, please rest assured, my Qiao family will definitely do our part for all mankind!"
Qiao Chuyun quickly spoke up as well, then glanced at Qiao Suinian with a cold smile.
"We are not like some people who are wasting humanity's own strength by fighting amongst ourselves at such a critical juncture!"
Qiao Chuyun also straightened up. Ouyang Mu's arrival gave them great courage. With external threats at hand, would Qiao Suinian dare to kill them in front of the Xuanwu Army Marshal?
Qiao Luan gave Qiao Chuting a wink, and Qiao Chuting immediately knelt down in front of Ouyang Mu.
"Marshal Ouyang! Because of internal strife, only the three of us from the Qiao family remain. Even if we are determined to kill the traitors, we are powerless to reverse the situation! Qiao Suinian is also a descendant of the Qiao family. I implore Marshal Ouyang to entrust the command of Dingtianque to the Qiao family! This way, we can do our part for the human race!"
When she got emotional, two streams of tears flowed from Qiao Chuting's eyes.
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Mu's expression immediately changed.
"Qiao Suinian, don't act rashly!"
Ouyang Mu hurriedly spoke, but it was too late. The Dragon Spirit Demon Blade was as fast as lightning, directly severing Qiao Chuting's head. Qiao Chuting didn't even have time to change her expression.
