âWhoosh, whoosh, whoosh!â
A group of burly men behind the middle-aged man Huang Huan all grinned wickedly as they pounced forward, unhesitatingly starting to smash and destroy the Alchemy Pavilion of the Zhuo family.
Bang, bang, bang!
The sounds of breaking echoed as various counters in the Zhuo familyâs Alchemy Pavilion were smashed to pieces, and many pills scattered all over the ground.
âStop it right now!â
The eyes of everyone in the Zhuo family turned red, each looking frantic. These pills were all that remained for the Zhuo family; if they were destroyed, the Alchemy Pavilion would truly be unable to continue operating. They rushed forward, seemingly mad, trying to stop the destruction.
âSmash! Hit harder! If anyone dares to obstruct me, today I, Huang Huan, will see who has the nerve to act wild in front of me.â Huang Huan sneered, âHit them together, damn it, if you refuse a toast, youâll have to drink a forfeit!â
Hearing this, several burly men immediately changed their targets, grinning as they lunged toward Zhuo Mu Xian and others.
âYou are too lawless!â Zhuo Mu Xian roared. Boom! A terrifying aura erupted from him as he blocked the leading burly man, who was a half-step Martial Emperor.
âHahaha, Zhuo family leader, with your level of cultivation, you shouldnât show off.â The burly man sneered, and with a roar, his aura surged even more, while two others beside him also unleashed terrifying auras, all of them at the level of half-step Martial Emperor, not weaker than Zhuo Mu Xian in the slightest.
The three men's auras shook violently, instantly sending Zhuo Mu Xian flying, his face pale and powerless to resist. As for the other martial artists from the Zhuo family, they were even more helpless under the suppression of these strongmen.
Huang Huan grinned cruelly, âZhuo family leader, back in the day, your Zhuo family had some fame in Alchemy City, relying merely on the connection with the Xuan Yi Pill King. Now that youâve lost the protection of Xuan Yi Pill King, how dare you still jump around in front of me? You should really weigh your own worth.â
A half-step Martial Emperor in a place like the Hundred Dynasties could easily sweep the entire area and was among the top-tier strongmen, but in Alchemy City, he was merely considered a decent martial artist, not even qualifying as a true expert.
âSmash it all, leave nothing behind! Anyway, once the Zhuo family's Alchemy Pavilion belongs to my Huang family, weâll have to fix it properly.â Huang Huan grinned ominously.
Bang, bang, bang!
Several burly men laughed sinisterly and began smashing once more.
âYou beasts!â Zhuo Mu Xian trembled in anger, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
This wasnât from being hurt earlier, but from rage at seeing the hard work of the Zhuo family being destroyed, causing his heart to ignite in fury.
âFather?â Zhuo Qing Feng exclaimed in shock.
âHahaha.â Huang Huan laughed loudly, âStop shouting! Even if you scream until your throat is hoarse, no one will come to save you.â
âSlap!â âSlap!â
Applause echoed.
Everyone in the Alchemy Pavilion turned to look, Huang Huan and his subordinates also glanced curiously. They saw Qin Chen, dressed in a black martial robe, clapping his hands and smiling at them.
âAlas, I purposely waited so long, thinking I would hear some inside information or see someone impressive. I didnât expect, after waiting, that it was still these few losers. Disappointing, truly disappointing!â
The reason Qin Chen hadnât acted immediately was that he wanted to know the truth behind the death of the Holy Son, Lu Wen Cheng, and what connection it had with the Zhuo and Huang families. But after listening for so long, he still couldnât piece together the truth.
âWhat are you? Kid, do you know who I am? I really donât like it when someone acts pretentious in front of me.â Huang Huan looked down at Qin Chen, his gaze as cold as a venomous snake.
Damn, he was acting all high and mighty, smashing the store with great satisfaction, only to find someone even more pretentious than himself, filling him with displeasure.
