The Raging Spirit Pillar exploded in mid-air, transforming into a wave of Spiritual Energy that swept in all directions. A powerful strike capable of annihilating a Qi Master dissipated just like that.
Compared to Yuanling, the faces of Hong Zheng and Hong Tao were ashen, while Fang Chen's smile remained undiminished. Pulling Fang Ziyao and the others in front of him, Fang Chen spoke softly as if to himself, "If I die, they will accompany me to the grave."
It was a simple and direct threat, yet it was extremely effective.
"What do you want?" The cold words seemed to be squeezed out between clenched teeth. Yuanling fixed his gaze on Fang Chen, his eyes flashing with fierce intent.
Even within the Cloud Dust Sect, with his talent and strength, he had never experienced such humiliation. Today, as a dignified Yuanling and a powerful figure in the Alchemy Realm, he was repeatedly threatened by someone from the Body Refinement Realm, and he had no choice but to accept the threat. This undoubtedly left him feeling stifled and filled with hatred for Fang Chen.
"As long as you swear not to harm the Fang Family again, I will release them all when you leave Fengyan City," Fang Chen said calmly.
"Impossible!" Before Yuanling could speak, Hong Zheng suddenly stepped forward towards Fang Chen, his expression stern.
The Black Water Sect was not the Cloud Dust Sect; it lacked the same level of power and confidence. They were merely supported by their two brothers in the early Alchemy Realm. Now that they had offended the Fang Family, who were equally strong, if they gained nothing from this confrontation, their future would be extremely difficult.
Moreover, with such a ruthless and powerful Freak in the Fang Family, their prospects were undoubtedly bright. Would the Fang Family let them go if they grew stronger?
The answer was certainly no.
With this thought in mind, Hong Zheng clenched his fists tightly.
"Do you want to see the Hong Family perish?" Fang Chen's lips curled into a cold smile as he wrapped a purple long rope around Hong Dali, who suddenly appeared before him. Grasping Hong Dali's throat, Fang Chen's expression remained calm as he locked eyes with Hong Zheng. "If you do not back down, he will die."
"Big Brother!" Hong Tao urgently called out. He feared that Hong Zheng might truly be blinded by the Purple Sun Token and make a decision he would regret for life.
Hong Tao had never married or had children; he regarded his older brother Hong Zheng's only son, Hong Dali, as his own. Having spent more time with Hong Dali than even his biological father Hong Zheng did since childhood, it was unthinkable for him to witness Hong Dali die before his eyes.
Hong Zheng could not bear to watch Hong Dali die. As Hong Dali's father, how could he possibly allow his son to perish before his eyes? That was all his hope!
His fists were tightly clenched, veins bulging on his arms. Hong Zheng's gaze was like that of a ferocious beast ready to pounce, with killing intent swirling in his eyes as he fixed his stare on Fang Chen.
He did not want Hong Dali to die, but he also could not resign himself to retreating so easily.
However, facing the somewhat terrifying expression of Hong Zheng, a slight curve appeared on Fang Chen's face, revealing a barely perceptible smirk.
Killing intent? A mere fellow from the Alchemy Realm dared to show killing intent in front of him? It should be noted that Fang Chen had once broken through from a sea of corpses and blood to reach the Heavenly Realm in his previous life. The killing intent he possessed was beyond what ordinary people could imagine. At least the killing intent released by Hong Zheng was an extremely mild aura in comparison.
"If you don't retreat, they will die," Fang Ziyao said as she and Qin Ye appeared beside Hong Dali, the purple long rope vibrating.
"They will die because of you," Fang Chen added coldly.
"You!" Yuanling exclaimed in anger.
This damn bastard, what else could he do besides threaten?!
"If you dare to harm them, I guarantee that every member of the Fang family in Fengyan City will be wiped out! Not a single one will be spared!" Hong Zheng said in a deep voice.
"What will happen to the Fang family, I do not know. But I can tell you that if you do not retreat, they will all die one by one before your eyes," Fang Chen remained unfazed, showing no sign of backing down.
Who is more ruthless?
As the saying goes, those without shoes fear nothing from those who wear them. Having finally captured Hong Dali and the others, Fang Chen naturally would not let them go so easily.
Huff...
Just as Fang Chen's words fell, Hong Tao, who had been silent all along, suddenly moved.
He did not rush towards Fang Chen, nor did he attempt to rescue Hong Dali; instead, he charged at Xia Lingyue behind Fang Chen!
The speed of a strong practitioner from the Alchemy Realm was astonishing, especially since Hong Tao acted unexpectedly. Even Fang Chen could not react in time; with such a disparity in strength, he was powerless to stop it!
"Let go of Dali, or she will die before your eyes," Hong Tao said, gripping Xia Lingyue's fair neck with one hand, speaking calmly.
He could take hostages too.
"You killing me is pointless; we barely know each other," Xia Lingyue replied with a bitter smile.
She was not foolish and understood the current situation clearly. If Fang Chen released Hong Dali and the others, the entire Fang Family, along with Fang Chen and herself, would likely be completely annihilated. In this scenario, would Fang Chen really let them go because of her?
Feeling a bit bitter inside, Xia Lingyue did not want to know the answer. In her view, the outcome was already predetermined. Since she could not escape death, it would be better to face it head-on and perhaps retain some beauty in it.
"I was saved by him in the first place; now it's just repayment," Xia Lingyue thought to herself as she closed her eyes.
The scene fell silent instantly, all eyes focused on Fang Chen, while the bound Fang Nansiao grinned menacingly.
For the first time, Fang Chen found himself in a passive position.
"Let her go; I promise you," Fang Chen suddenly spoke up.
"Fang Chen, are you crazy!" Xia Lingyue exclaimed as she opened her eyes wide in disbelief. Then she shouted sharply, "Do you know how many people this will endanger!"
Although Fang Chen's choice surprised her greatly and even brought a hint of unexplainable joy within her, Xia Lingyue knew very well that this was not a good decision. She could not let Fang Chen ruin everyone’s lives because of her.
"Shut up!" Hong Tao shouted, interrupting Xia Lingyue. Uncertain about the relationship between Xia Lingyue and Fang Chen, he was genuinely afraid that Fang Chen might suddenly change his mind.
Calmly glancing at Xia Lingyue, Fang Chen scanned the faces of the pleased Hong Zheng and Yuanling. "Within two days, your people must not appear in Fengyan City and must not act against the Fang Family. If you agree to this condition, I will agree to release them."
"Two days." Hong Zheng and Yuanling exchanged glances, both seeing confusion in each other's eyes.
Is this guy stalling for time? However, based on their understanding of the Fang Family, this clan had no powerful external support. What could this kid possibly come up with in two days?
"I agree." Hong Zheng and Yuanling nodded in unison. After considering it thoroughly and unable to think of any opportunity for the Fang Family to turn things around, they finally agreed.
"Swear it, in the name of martial arts," Fang Chen said.
A simple oath is naturally hard to impose any binding effect, but swearing in the name of martial arts is vastly different. Once violated, the martial artist who made the oath would immediately suffer backlash from their own Qi Energy, leading to death—an extraordinary phenomenon.
"You cunning little brat, two days it is. After two days, I'll wash the Fang Family in blood!" Yuanling thought to himself as he stopped plotting and began to swear. Hong Zheng did the same.
After the oath was completed, at Hong Zheng's signal, Hong Tao tossed Xia Lingyue over to Fang Chen. Fang Chen flicked the purple long rope in his hand and threw out all five members of Fang Ziyao's group.
"Father!" As soon as her restraints were released, Fang Ziyao let out a piercing scream.
In her arms, Fang Botao's body had shrunk by nearly a third; his skin was drawn tight and even shriveled up, looking extremely terrifying. His aura was almost nonexistent; it seemed he wouldn't survive much longer.
"I want you dead!" Fang Ziyao's face no longer held the calmness and superiority from earlier; she appeared like a madwoman.
Previously bound by Fang Chen and having her voice suppressed secretly left her helpless. Now that her physical restraints were lifted, she immediately lunged wildly at Fang Chen.
Fang Chen did not move; he didn't even glance at Fang Ziyao as she charged toward him. He held onto Xia Lingyue and calmly turned to walk toward the Fang Residence.
“Zi Yao, come back.” Looking at the seemingly crazed Fang Ziyao, Yuanling frowned and finally intervened to stop her from lunging at Fang Chen.
“Senior Brother, don’t stop me! I want him dead!” Fang Ziyao's face was filled with resentment.
“Zi Yao, calm down. Give your Senior Brother two days. After two days, I will personally hand Fang Chen over to you,” Yuanling gently reassured her, though a hint of impatience had already surfaced in his somewhat narrow eyes.
He was already extremely annoyed after being provoked by Fang Chen earlier. If it weren't for Fang Ziyao's significant status in the Cloud Dust Sect, he wouldn't have bothered to speak up, let alone comfort her.
“Two days, fine. After two days, I want the entire Fang Family dead.” A glimmer of clarity finally appeared in Fang Ziyao's eyes as she murmured to herself, her words laced with a chilling intent to kill.
“Hehe, Yuanling brother, we can join forces in two days. By then, it will be each to their own abilities,” Hong Zheng said with a smile.
Although they had been delayed by Fang Chen for two days, Hong Zheng could accept this outcome. After all, in two days, they still had a chance to obtain the Purple Sun Token, didn’t they?
“Two days, hehe.” Just as Hong Zheng and Yuanling were contemplating how to annihilate the Fang Family and seize the Purple Sun Token in two days, Fang Chen, who had his back turned to them, curled his lips into a cold smirk, his face revealing an unhidden mockery.
“Let’s hope you can still laugh then,” he murmured softly.
