Chapter 424: A Snap of the Fingers Total Annihilation, Meeting the Father in Law at the Han Family!
"Oh? Is that so? Perhaps Uncle Han is unaware, but just recently, I became an inner disciple of the Northern Pavilion of Wind Lightning Pavilion!"
Hong Chen rose to his feet, a smug smile playing on his lips.
The moment these words fell, Han Chi's face changed dramatically, the grim expression on his face replaced by a trace of bitterness.
This is bad!
"Wind Lightning Pavilion sure has a lot of nerve. A mere inner disciple of the Northern Pavilion dares to lay a hand on someone belonging to me?"
Suddenly, a deep male voice echoed through the grand hall.
The instant the voice resounded, everyone except the Han Family members felt an overwhelming force crash down upon them.
The sheer magnitude of the energy made their internal organs feel like they were about to rupture.
"Pfft !"
A second later, all the Hong Family members coughed up mouthfuls of blood, staining the Han Family's floor crimson.
Hong Chen clutched his chest, his face pale, and his robe soaked in blood. His eyes were filled with disbelief as he scanned the surroundings, shouting in panic:
"Who?! Who dares interfere in Wind Lightning Pavilion's affairs?!"
Both the Hong Family and the Han Family frantically searched the hall, trying to locate the mysterious figure who had just decimated so many experts with only a voice.
"Heh… I spared your miserable lives, not to listen to you bark."
The voice rang out once more, and suddenly, a terrifying sight unfolded before the Han Family's eyes.
The entire group of Hong Family experts all except Hong Chen were suddenly engulfed in crimson flames.
The blood colored fire roared hungrily, consuming flesh, bone, and soul.
In mere seconds, the Hong Family had been reduced to nothing but ashes, completely erased from existence.
"Gulp "
The Han Family members swallowed hard, their throats dry from sheer terror.
What kind of unfathomable expert had just wiped out an entire group of warriors so effortlessly?
"How dare you bully Han Xue's father?"
A girl's playful voice echoed, and suddenly, a streak of purple light shot forward.
It was a young girl with lilac hair, and she clenched her small fist, throwing a punch straight at Hong Chen's head.
Hong Chen no longer held the arrogance he had earlier.
Seeing his entire entourage obliterated in an instant, he knew he was hopelessly outmatched.
Spotting the incoming girl, he instinctively burst into motion, unleashing his Dou Qi and dashing towards the exit.
"Heh, trying to run? You won't escape~"
Zi Yan relaxed her fist, watching with amusement.
Just as Hong Chen reached the entrance, a figure in a red dress materialized in front of him.
With just a gentle flick of her wrist, he was sent flying backward, crashing violently into the floor.
"Ah !"
Hong Chen landed hard, groaning in pain, his fearful gaze fixed on the doorway.
There, several stunningly beautiful women had appeared, each one a peerless beauty.
Their appearances, figures, and auras were beyond extraordinary.
Even the Han Family members were utterly shocked.
Did the heavens just bless them with a group of celestial fairies?!
Just as everyone was still in shock, a handsome young man in a black robe stepped into view.
"Hong Chen. The Hong Family sure has guts, thinking they can take my wife. I wonder just how many lives you have left to lose."
His voice was cold, and his gaze locked onto the struggling Hong Chen.
"W Wife?! Y You… You're Han Xue's man?!"
Hong Chen stared at Wu Tian in horror, his voice trembling.
Hearing this, Han Xue's face flushed bright red.
What should she do?!
She had accidentally been mistaken for her sister!
Her heart pounded in chaos, and she couldn't help but steal glances at the black robed man.
Then, gathering her courage, she stepped forward.
She wasn't just going to clarify the misunderstanding.
She also wanted Hong Chen to die knowing the truth.
And… perhaps she wanted to act spoiled toward her brother in law just a little.
Han Xue's icy gaze fell on Hong Chen, and she declared coldly:
"He's my sister's husband. My brother in law. Wu Tian, the Lord of Cai Lin Pavilion from the Northwestern Region."
"What?!"
The moment those words left her lips, the entire hall fell silent.
Hong Chen, gravely wounded, froze in place, his expression one of sheer horror.
As for the Han Family members, they stared in disbelief at the black robed youth.
This… was the same man who built a force that could rival the Four Pavilions?!
"Han Chi of the Han Family greets the Pavilion Lord!"
Han Chi, the head of the Han Family, bowed deeply toward Wu Tian.
Wu Tian instantly moved, appearing before Han Chi in a blink.
Gently helping him up, he smiled.
"Father in law, there's no need for formalities. Han Yue is my wife, and I regret not notifying you of our wedding. I've felt guilty about it for a long time how could I possibly accept such a bow from you?"
Hearing Wu Tian's gentle tone, the Han Family members found it hard to believe that this was the same man who had just slaughtered the Hong Family warriors without blinking.
"Lord Wu Tian…"
Han Chi started to speak, but Wu Tian raised a hand, cutting him off.
Then, without even turning around, he flicked his finger.
A moment later
A blazing inferno erupted around Hong Chen, the scorching flames coiling like a fiery prison.
But instead of consuming him immediately, the fire tortured him, searing his skin without killing him.
"AHHH!!! Just kill me already!"
Hong Chen's agonized screams filled the hall, his voice twisted in pain.
The excruciating heat slowly roasted him, yet never allowed him to die.
Everyone shivered, feeling an icy chill run down their spines.
They could barely breathe as they looked at the smiling young man before them.
Han Chi remained slightly bowed, fully aware of his position.
Even if his daughter was now Wu Tian's wife, their Han Family was nothing compared to him.
A commoner could never sit at the emperor's table no matter how kind the emperor was, the gap remained insurmountable.
Seeing the once arrogant Hong Family warriors annihilated, the Han Family members secretly rejoiced.
Having such a son in law would not only secure their position but also elevate them to new heights!
Han Chi then glanced at Han Xue, who had been stealing glances at Wu Tian the entire time.
He immediately understood
This daughter of his… might already be a lost cause too.
"Lord Wu Tian, as for your marriage with my daughter Han Yue, that is entirely your decision. My Han Family is endlessly grateful for your protection."
Han Chi bowed again.
Wu Tian rubbed his temples helplessly.
Being so powerful made it impossible to maintain normal relationships.
Still, at least this way…
His father in law would never look down on him.
