And the Elders behind Yan Buxiu grew tense, their gazes fixed on Zhou Qingruo, fearing that the latter might suddenly make a move!
Seeing the genuine look on Zhou Qingruo's face, the tone of Yan Buxiu's voice became more wary...
With an awkward smile, he opened his mouth and said, "Your Excellency, our Yan Family really has no intention of being your enemy. How about we let this matter go? We are willing to offer some compensation!"
Whether it was the Yan Family who had offended her, or if she had intended to annihilate the Yan Family herself, the first thing he had to do was certainly to apologize, and then to soothe her emotions as much as possible!
Zhou Qingruo's cheeks showed a hint of impatience as she glanced at the headless corpse lying in a pool of blood and said coldly, "That guy was also full of problems. In the end, he is already dead..."
The next moment, the terrifying murderous intent brewing within her body suddenly exploded, almost condensing into substance, even causing anomalies in the surrounding environment...
Seeing this, Yan Buxiu and several Elders tightened their expressions solemnly and dared not take the situation lightly, swiftly releasing their spirit force fluctuations to resist the dense killing intent.
Yan Buxiu's face turned extremely ugly, his voice tinged with a hint of threat, "Do you really want to escalate things to this level, Your Excellency? Although our Yan Family cannot match you, to annihilate us so easily would also come at a cost!
As the saying goes, even a cornered rabbit will bite, and all the more so for our Yan Family!
If someone really wished to annihilate them, they would have to pay a heavy price!
Zhou Qingruo pursed her delicate lips and shouted coldly, "Noise!"
The next moment, her entire being erupted with a terrifying presence, charging toward the approaching Yan Buxiu...
And, facing the assault of Zhou Qingruo, Yan Buxiu felt his body and mind unconsciously trembling...
Cold sweat dripped from his forehead as he thought to himself, "What terrifying power! The rumors indeed are not unfounded!!"
Seeing Yan Buxiu distracted, another Elder called out in alarm, "Family Head! Get out of the way!! We cannot withstand her strength!"
In an instant, Yan Buxiu came back to his senses, only to find himself locked on by Zhou Qingruo, a sense arising within him that no matter how he tried to dodge, he would be struck...
With no other choice, his turbid eyes focused as he softly shouted, "Earth-grade Superior Martial Technique, Heavenly Qiong Extinguishing Dragon Strike!!"
As the words were uttered, a dragon-shaped phantom, dozens of meters in size, eerily appeared behind him!
After letting out a dragon's roar, it fully enveloped Yan Buxiu and charged toward Zhou Qingruo in unison...
Seeing Yan Buxiu charging at her, Zhou Qingruo said with an icy voice, "Hmph, seeking your own death!"
As the two were about to clash, the Yan Family Elders cried out in panic, "This is bad!! The Family Head is being rash! We must all attack together, or it will be dangerous!"
"This person's power is even more terrifying than the rumors, I wonder if we can withstand it!"
"Stop talking and hurry up!!"
Although they were conversing, the actions of these Elders did not hesitate at all, almost immediately charging at Zhou Qingruo...
Then, they all used their martial techniques!
"Earth-grade Mid-tier Martial Technique, Five Elements Heavenly Yang Palm!!"
"Earth-grade Superior Martial Technique, Obliterating Finger"
"Earth-grade Mid-tier Martial Technique, Ten Thousand Emperors Ancient Shatter!"
When these two terrifying forces collided, a sound like the destruction of heaven and earth, "Boom!" rang out...
The entire space suddenly burst forth with chaotic black and white light, even forcing Xu Sheng who was standing aside to retreat dozens of steps before he could barely stabilize his posture!
Xu Sheng tried to calm down as much as possible, his gaze firmly fixed on the scene before him, thinking to himself, "How powerful!"
Then he thought to himself, "I was merely wanted, yet Zhou Qingruo really intended to exterminate someone's entire family..."
However, he didn't dislike this temperament, as the Cultivation World has always been a place where the strong prey on the weak, and exterminations were quite common...
The only question was, to what realm had Zhou Qingruo's strength actually reached...
```
Seconds later, the dazzling light dispersed, revealing the situation inside…
Zhou Qingruo, standing alone, had somehow matched Yan Buxiu and his people in strength, and for the moment, no victor had been decided!
Feeling immense pressure, Yan Buxiu gritted his teeth and said, "Your Excellency, please stop, defeating us is surely not an easy task for you!"
The Yan Family Elders by his side also chimed in, "That's right! Although we can't defeat you, holding you back isn't a problem!"
"As long as Your Excellency stops, we will pretend nothing happened, and you will still be considered a friend of the entire Yan Family!"
"Alone, you cannot possibly defeat us!"
Yet, Zhou Qingruo merely pursed her cold, thin lips, a disdainful look in her Beautiful Eyes as she coldly said to Yan Buxiu and the others, "Is this really the extent of your strength? Pathetically weak!"
The strongest of the Yan Family combined could barely withstand less than thirty percent of her true power!
Sensing something was amiss, Yan Buxiu furrowed his brows and asked, "What do you mean?"
If they had fought to a standstill, why was she still so confident?
The next moment, the answer to this question was about to reveal itself!
Zhou Qingruo coldly shouted, "Heavenly Grade Low-Quality Martial Technique, Bloodbath Slash Strike!"
Instantly, the blood that had been drifting around her began to tremble violently…
Then, it all drilled into her delicate body through the faint pores, as her aura began to soar once again...
Most importantly, her captivating Beautiful Eyes began to undergo a transformation...
Slowly, they were dyed with a deep, blood-red color, her whole being radiating a ferocious light!
Merely meeting her gaze felt like being cast into an ice cellar!
Yan Buxiu and several Elders couldn't help but tremble involuntarily, sensing the premonition of death!
Especially considering the surging blood energy inside her, how many people did she have to slaughter for it to become so intense!
At this moment, they all had one thought in their minds!
If they were hit by this move, they would surely die!!
Thus, they decisively abandoned any resistance, and quickly fled backwards…
Watching everything, the blood-red eyes of Zhou Qingruo suddenly focused sharply, "Thinking of escaping?"
As her voice fell, she vanished from the spot, becoming a series of blood-red afterimages that burst forth…
And with a speed that the naked eye couldn't keep up with, she launched thousands of terrifying blood-colored slash strikes at the entire area!
Seconds later, an array of gruesome screams erupted in succession...
"Aaaahhhhh!!!"
"Save me!! Save meeee!!!"
"I don't want to die!! I don't want to die!!"
…
After a while, Zhou Qingruo licked the bloodstains from the corner of her mouth, the crimson in her Beautiful Eyes gradually fading away…
In front of her, there were no longer any intact bodies, just chunks of foul-smelling flesh and blood…
…
