Chapter 20: The Zhang and Su Families Unite by Marriage! The Wedding Date!
"Are you looking for me?"
A sinister voice sounded behind the three of them, like a deadly demon.
The three cultivators were immediately terrified, their hair standing on end and cold sweat pouring down their backs.
Before they could react, a sword light flashed, and the head of the scarred, burly middle-aged man standing in the middle flew off instantly.
The headless body took two steps forward before collapsing with a thud.
"Big brother!"
The obese middle-aged man and the lean man exclaimed in surprise, instantly retreating to the sides to form a pincer movement, their eyes warily fixed on Zhang Xuanchen's cold gaze.
His eyes were filled with grief and murderous intent.
The obese middle-aged man glanced at his older brother lying on the ground, his eyes filled with boundless rage.
After so many years together, they are closer than brothers, even though they are not blood brothers.
Now that his elder brother has been murdered, he naturally wants revenge.
He gave his third brother a look, and the lean man instantly understood.
The cultivation levels of the seventh and eighth levels of Qi Refining were released.
Holding a long black sword, he leaped into the air and charged towards Zhang Xuanchen like a cannonball.
Zhang Xuanchen didn't have time to waste with the two of them.
He took out two top-grade first-tier Explosive Flame Talismans, activated them with spiritual power, and threw them at the two of them.
A first-grade top-quality Explosive Flame Talisman costs a thousand low-grade spirit stones, making it quite valuable. Its power is comparable to the full-force attack of a Qi Refining Level 10 cultivator.
When used properly, it is enough to kill a cultivator at the peak of Qi Refining.
"Third brother! Watch out!"
The obese middle-aged man reacted extremely quickly, instantly pulling out his trump card to save his life. His body was wrapped in layers of yellowish-brown rocks, which blocked the explosive power generated by the Explosive Flame Talisman.
The lean man, however, was not so lucky; the Explosive Flame Talisman exploded right next to his head.
Terrifying flames swept around and instantly burned everything to ashes.
Seeing this, the obese middle-aged man cried out again, "Third brother! How wicked!"
You monster! You killed my eldest brother and third brother! I'll kill you!
Zhang Xuanchen remained completely unmoved by this.
If he were the weaker party, he would probably have been chopped to pieces by the three of them long ago.
It's all just a matter of the survival of the fittest.
The fat man's long sword was enveloped in a layer of metallic spiritual energy, and the blade, carrying a sharp aura, slashed at Zhang Xuanchen once again.
Zhang Xuanchen's expression remained calm as he unleashed a second-tier spell, Chain Fireball.
In an instant, eight fireballs condensed around him.
Pointing at the obese middle-aged man: "Go!"
As if receiving a command, eight fireballs shot towards the enemy.
"What?!"
Sensing the power of the fireball, the obese middle-aged man's eyes showed terror!
"How could someone at the seventh level of Qi Refining possibly unleash a spell with power comparable to someone at the ninth level of Qi Refining!"
Despite their fear, their hands did not stop moving in the slightest.
Wielding a long sword enveloped in golden light, he cleaved the first four fireballs in two, sending them flying past and knocking down the tall ancient pines on either side.
The flames started burning on those pine trees, but for some reason they didn't spread to the surrounding area.
It might be because of the fog.
After deflecting four fireballs, the obese middle-aged man's hands were trembling slightly, clearly indicating that he had reached his limit.
"Damn! This kid is definitely not a rogue cultivator! We were careless! Vajra Talisman!"
He let out a low roar and activated another top-grade first-tier spirit talisman.
These were his trump cards for survival, and now he was using them to deal with a mere Qi Refining Level 7 kid.
My heart is bleeding, and I am filled with remorse.
If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have provoked this young man.
Boom boom boom!
The other four fireballs successfully struck the obese middle-aged man.
However, the Vajra Talisman did not cause him any harm.
Just as the residual force of the fireball dissipated, the obese middle-aged man instantly felt a deadly chill as his Vajra Talisman was shattered by the ice sword formed by the Ice Sword Talisman.
Zhang Xuanchen used the Wind Chasing Escape technique to arrive in front of his opponent.
With a swift movement, the sword fell, and a head, its eyes wide open in death, flew more than ten meters away.
They collected the three people's storage bags, burned the bodies, and quickly left the scene.
This has caused quite a stir and will definitely attract a lot of people.
At this moment, he had mastered the Wind Chasing Escape technique to its fullest extent, and his speed was no slower than that of a cultivator who had just entered the Foundation Establishment stage.
Some first-tier demonic beasts tried to attack, but they couldn't catch up with Zhang Xuanchen's speed at all.
They chased it for a while and then gave up.
……
Meanwhile, a major event occurred in the Penglai Islands.
The Zhang family of Xuanxiao and the Su family of Liuyun, two major Golden Core families, simultaneously announced that Zhang Xuanbing and Su Muyan would become Daoist partners in six months.
This caused a huge uproar.
One is Zhang Xuanbing, the son of the Zhang family patriarch and one of the Zhang family's twin stars.
One is Su Muyan, the granddaughter of the eldest elder of the Su family and one of the top three young members of the Su family.
The implications of this are self-evident.
The Su family, the residence of the First Elder.
An elderly man with a full head of white hair looked at the girl in front of him with eyes full of doting affection and helplessness.
The girl wore a light blue tulle dress, her face was as delicate as porcelain, her eyebrows were like distant mountains shrouded in green, and her long, black, shiny hair made her look like a princess who had stepped out of a painting, beautiful and captivating.
"Mu Yan, as a girl, you should be reserved. Do you know what it means to be reserved?"
I really don't know what you saw in that ice-cold face of his, sigh.
The old man's tone was full of helplessness.
He was fully aware of his granddaughter's actions over the years, but due to the family's circumstances, he turned a blind eye.
However, this is a good thing for Su Muyan.
It's a kind of luck to meet someone you like through an arranged marriage.
Hearing her grandfather's words, Su Muyan retorted:
"Grandpa, you don't understand. Brother Bing is a very nice person, he just doesn't talk much."
Tell me, if it had been another man that day, would my granddaughter still have her innocence?
How many men can do that?
As she spoke, a smile returned to the girl's face, and the scene of Zhang Xuanbing descending to earth like a god when she was in danger flashed through her mind.
Hearing this, Su Zhengxiong sighed, "A daughter is like a bird that cannot stay at home once she grows up. A daughter is like a bird that cannot stay at home once she grows up."
"Grandpa, what are you saying? It's not like I can't come back after I get married. I'll definitely come back to see you often."
"Nonsense!"
Upon hearing this, the doting look on Su Zhengxiong's face vanished instantly, replaced by an extremely serious expression.
"From the moment you marry into the Zhang family, you are a member of the Zhang family! Everything you do must be for the benefit of the Zhang family!"
Even if the Su family faces the risk of extinction in the future, they will still need the Zhang family's consent to extend a helping hand.
If you do anything that harms the Zhang family's interests, even if they kill you, Grandpa will have no reason to avenge you!
This is a tacit consensus within the entire cultivation world!
Do you understand?
Seeing her grandfather's serious expression, Su Muyan nodded earnestly.
She wasn't stupid; on the contrary, she was very smart and knew the seriousness of the situation.
"I will keep Grandpa's words in mind and will never do anything that would harm the Zhang family's interests in the future."
