Capítulo 21: Demise Of The Arrogant Young Master Of The Hung Family [2]

Xue Fei's eyes glowed with an even deeper crimson as intricate lines formed across her irises, and she executed her innate technique on Hung Zhi.

As the technique took hold, the world around Hung Zhi shifted. His senses cleared, and he found himself standing in an eerie, calm environment.

'Huh?'

'Didn't the mud blind me?' he thought, bewildered by what just happened. Before he could think further, he saw Long Tian standing ahead, breathing heavily and visibly exhausted.

'Kekeke! He's worn out! My chance for revenge is finally here!' A smirk spread across Hung Zhi's face as he aggressively charged toward Long Tian.

"Ahhh, NOO!!" Long Tian screamed, extending both of his hands defensively.

"It's over now, brat!!" Hung Zhi shouted triumphantly, thrusting his sword forward with terrifying speed as the blade pierced Long Tian's heart with little to no effort.

Blood sprayed from the wound, splattering across the ground as Long Tian collapsed, defeated at last.

'I won?'

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!"

"BRAT!! LOOK AT THIS! THIS IS MY TRUE POWER!!! HAHAHAHAHA!" Hung Zhi reveled in his victory, a wave of satisfaction coursing through him. He felt alive with the thrill of finally defeating the man who had mocked him with overconfidence.

But just as he began to savor his triumph, a sharp pain rippled through his gut. His sword slipped from his grip. Blood—his own—began pouring from his neck and stomach. Every weak point in his body.

"W-what's happening?" he gasped, clutching his stomach in shock.

"Didn't I win?" His question hung in the air, unanswered, as blood flowed freely, his strength draining away. He collapsed to the ground, trembling and bewildered.

"What the hell is happening? Didn't I kill him?" His thoughts spiraled into confusion. "Is this… a dream? A dream where I defeat that man?"

His vision blurred, and with a final gasp, darkness consumed him before he could grasp the truth of his demise.

[Reality, 3rd POV]

Long Tian stood over Hung Zhi's lifeless body, wiping the sweat from his brow. He shook his head with a tsk. "To think this man would fall for an illusion technique cast by a first-stage golden core fox… He really was too green. As expected of a mob villain." Long Tian chuckled to himself, his tone amused.

"Yip! Yip!" Xue Fei excitedly ran and jumped on Long Tian, her white fur gleaming as she basked in his praise.

"Haha, good job, Xue Fei." Long Tian laughed heartily, running his hand through her soft fur. "You really came through."

"Yip! Yip!"

"Now… wasn't this young master stealing from my spiritual mine?" Long Tian's expression darkened slightly as he turned his gaze back to Hung Zhi's corpse. "Let's see what he's got."

Like every other cultivator, Long Tian took the spatial ring from Hung Zhi's finger and channeled Qi into it, overwhelming its defenses.

Click

The ring's defense mechanism shattered with a soft click, granting him access to its contents.

"Hehe, let's see...."

"579 high-grade spiritual stones? Tsk, poor bastard! My personal servant has more high-grade spiritual stones than this..."

"5,000 low-grade stones.... A heaven-grade sword technique... Wait, WHAT!!!" As Long Tian looked through Hung Zhi's spatial ring, he came across an absurd-looking item.

A slender, rounded-headed wooden device, which was supposed to be available only in the modern world.

"Ewww!!" As soon as he saw it, he took it out of the spatial ring and grabbed it using only the tip of the back end.

"Holy smokes, he was this much of a pervert? And how the hell is it even available here?" he muttered, making a disgusted expression on his face.

"There's no button here... So how does it even start?" he mused in curiosity.

Who wouldn't be curious about seeing a battery/electricity-powered vibrator in a medieval cultivation world?

"Should I channel my Qi?" Curiosity got the best of him as he channeled his Qi into the disgusting device.

And as soon as he did, the vibrator started to vibrate while making a "Zzz" type sound.

"Fuck, it just ruined my whole mood," he muttered in disgust as he threw the vibrator away from him, flinging it at least a couple of hundred miles away to make sure it didn't come into his view ever again.

"Ugh, my whole mood is now ruined... I'll just head back, sigh!" He let out a deep sigh as he flew away, his destination? His home.

[Long Family Estate!]

[The Great Hall.]

"Unforgivable!" the first elder said as he angrily punched the table in a fit of anger.

"Patriarch! We can't just let it slide!!!"

"Those suckers dare to steal the spiritual mine... And not just that, they had the audacity to try to harm our genius young master!!" the first elder shouted in anger.

"Indeed, patriarch! If we don't annihilate those pathetic Hung family, wouldn't it be just a slap in our Long family's image!?" the second elder agreed with the first elder's statement, angrily uttering those words.

"Indeed! We have to make our move right now!! Those suckers have been too rowdy these days!" the third elder said, agreeing with the other two.

"Indeed."

"Indeed!" Both of the remaining elders agreed with the other three elders.

And why wouldn't they? They were literally the elders of the Long family, and that act of stealing and trying to kill their family's only young master was a slap to their face and would only stain the image they had created and maintained for thousands of years.

"Since the Hung family... which we've been tolerating for the past thousand years, it seems that they've forgotten their place..."

"I guess it won't hurt to show them that they're still as insignificant as the day my ancestor made them his slaves." Long Yang said in a low, serious, and cold tone as he got up from his throne.

As soon as he stood up, a powerful wave of energy emanated from him, making the elders in front of him tremble in joy.

"Hahaha, it seems we old men will get a little bit of playtime in a long time." The first elder said as he stretched out his hand in a relaxed, chill tone with a small smile.

"Indeed... It has been a long time since I ever used my full power... I guess it's time to use my old bones for some playtime," the second elder agreed as he also stretched out his hand.

Not long after that, they all headed out of the house. However, they left a couple of elders behind, and only three people walked out of the estate: Patriarch Yang, the first elder, and the second elder.

While leaving the other three at the estate for its protection, they also didn't consider the Hung family to be that great or in need of their full force to annihilate.
