The majestic Dharma Body looked down at Han Xiu, uttering a single word.
"Good!"
Before the sound faded, the golden majestic Dharma Body transformed into golden star rain and dispersed.
However, the crowd in front of the Han Family gate still hadn't recovered.
Shen Yun couldn't help but swallow, subconsciously saying, "Wha... what kind of method was that just now?!"
Han Xiu sneered.
"What kind of method? Of course, it's a method you can't afford to provoke."
"Elder Shen Yun, I am now telling you very clearly, the Wind and Thunder Pavilion… is finished!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Yun's expression changed.
Although the facts were laid bare, and the aura emanating from Han Xiu was real, he still held a glimmer of unrealistic hope in his heart.
What if the sudden surge in Han Xiu's aura to a Dou Zun was a disguise?
After all, how could there be a secret technique in this World that could instantly boost someone from a three or four-star Dou Zong to a Dou Zun?
Meanwhile, the Hong Family members beside him showed expressions of terror.
Han Xiu's confident and powerful expression forced them to believe that everything that had just happened was real.
Hong Chen was even more terrified, secretly regretting how he couldn't control himself and went to flirt with those three women.
Now, he had kicked an iron plate!
The Han Family members, on the other hand, were the exact opposite of the anxious Hong Family members.
Thinking of the terrifying pressure exuded by that majestic Dharma Body just now, the Han Family members' faces were filled with awe, adoration, and ecstasy.
They had thought Qi Lin was very strong, but they hadn't expected him to be so terrifying.
Just that method alone was something they had never heard of.
"Alright, the farce should end now!"
Han Xiu smiled faintly and took a step forward.
The next moment, an overwhelming aura surged out from his body, pressing down on the Hong Family members.
The terrifying pressure instantly caused the weaker Hong Family members to drop to their knees with a "thump."
Feeling the powerful oppressive force emanating from the pressure, Shen Yun's pupils suddenly constricted, and he exclaimed in shock.
"It really is Dou Zun pressure!"
"Not good!"
Shen Yun made a swift decision, turned around, and flashed away into the distance.
However, how could Han Xiu let him succeed?
"Elder Shen Yun, since you've come all this way, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
Before he finished speaking, Han Xiu raised his hand and waved.
In an instant, surging Heaven and Earth energy immediately poured in from all directions, converging into a tidal wave of energy that slammed towards Shen Yun.
Boom!
In a flash, Shen Yun's body was struck by the energy tide. As soon as he ascended into the sky, he plummeted down like a kite with a broken string, his bones shattered, coughing up large mouthfuls of blood.
Witnessing Shen Yun's tragic state, the Hong Family members immediately showed expressions of terror.
"Thump!"
Just then, Hong Chen suddenly knelt on the ground, begging loudly for mercy.
"Senior Han, this junior knows his mistake. Please spare this junior this one time. This junior is willing to be your servant for life, serving the Han Family, only asking that Senior spares this junior this one time."
After speaking, Hong Chen, unable to control himself, kowtowed to Han Xiu, begging for mercy.
The "thump, thump, thump" sounds echoed around, the powerful force shattering the bluestone floor tiles.
Han Xiu smiled disdainfully.
"You don't know you're wrong; you know you're going to die."
The Hong Family members also felt ashamed of Hong Chen's actions, especially Hong Li and Hong Tianxiao.
But more Hong Family members harbored the same thought as Hong Chen.
However, before they could act, they saw Han Xiu raise his hand and strike with a palm.
In a flash, an invisible giant hand descended from the sky, instantly landing on Hong Chen.
With a "boom," a huge handprint instantly appeared where he stood, and Hong Chen was directly pulverized into a bloody mess by that palm, looking incredibly gruesome.
"Chen'er!"
"Ah ah ah—"
"Old villain Han Xiu, I'll fight you to the death!"
Upon seeing this, Hong Li's eyes were bloodshot.
Although Hong Chen's actions shamed him, he was still his son.
However, just as he made his move, Han Xiu was faster, flicking a finger.
Bang!
A beam of energy, like a laser, instantly shot out from Han Xiu's finger, piercing through Hong Li's forehead.
Seeing this, Hong Tianxiao immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
"Brother Han, calm down, we can discuss this."
He had no intention of escaping, as Shen Yun was a cautionary tale.
Nor did he intend to resist to the end, as Hong Li had already set an example for him.
But his only response was Han Xiu's calm words.
"Brother Hong, it's better for a family to be together."
Before he finished speaking, Han Xiu struck out with another palm.
Between a Dou Zun and a Dou Zong, there was an insurmountable chasm.
This palm directly pulverized Hong Tianxiao, not even allowing him to let out a scream.
After all this was done, the remaining Hong Family members were no longer a threat. A single palm strike annihilated their entire army.
After dealing with the Hong Family members, Han Xiu looked at Han Chi.
"The rest is up to you. I still need to make a trip to the Wind and Thunder Pavilion."
Han Xiu had not forgotten the task Qi Lin's Dharma Body had assigned him.
It was to annihilate the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, not just the Hong Family.
"Old Ancestor, please go. We'll handle things here," Han Chi said, suppressing his excitement.
Because he knew very well that from today onwards, there would be no more Hong Family in Tianbei City.
Seeing this, Han Xiu nodded faintly, then took a step, appearing in mid-air.
The Northern Pavilion of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion was closest to Tianbei City, only a thousand miles away.
At his current speed, it wouldn't take long to fly there.
The next second, Han Xiu transformed into a streak of light, instantly disappearing from the Han Family members' sight.
After Han Xiu left, the Han Family members began to whisper, their eyes filled with reverence.
"What do you think Grandmaster Qi Lin used to make Old Ancestor's strength surge to Dou Zun?"
"How would we know? But since Grandmaster Qi Lin could so easily boost Old Ancestor's strength, his own strength must be even more terrifying than a Dou Zun."
"Hiss~ Could it be a Dou Saint?!"
"I think it's very possible!"
...That day, a major earthquake occurred throughout the Northern Region of Central State.
The Wind and Thunder Pavilion, one of the Four Pavilions… was attacked at its main gate, existing in name only.
Although Han Xiu did not go on a killing spree, he did eliminate many high-ranking officials of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, including Venerable Lei.
And at this moment, Qi Lin, Qian Renxue, and Hu Liena returned to the Han Family.
The Han Family members now regarded Qi Lin as a deity.
A few individuals, however, once again incited Han Xue.
After all, no one knew how long Qi Lin would stay in the Han Family.
If not now, when would she seize the opportunity?
Even Han Xue's father and uncle began to subtly hint.
With Qi Lin's strength, even if she were just his concubine, her future would be boundless.
And when night fell, even Han Xue couldn't help but recall Qi Lin's face in her mind.
Facing such a man, even if one were only to be a concubine or a maid, countless people would probably be delighted to do so.
Like Han Xue herself!
