Watching the former patriarch become a dried corpse on the ground, the surviving members of the Liu Family collapsed.
At the moment when Liu Zhenyang rushed forward, hope truly blossomed in their hearts, thinking that he could defeat this demon and save them all.
But he didn’t even last a second.
"Don’t kill me, don’t kill me."
Someone knelt on the ground, snot and tears flowing, continuously begging for mercy.
"Why beg him? Do you think bowing to him will make him spare us?"
Someone saw the inevitable end coming and cursed loudly.
Since they were all going to die, might as well die with some dignity.
"Why, why?"
With tears streaming down his face, Liu Zheng stupidly stared at the refined man.
He truly did not understand.
These two weren’t sent by the Elder Council to eliminate Chen Fan, so why would they dare to act against us?
Was it sanctioned by the Elder Council?
But there was no necessity for this kind of security measure.
When the Liu Family Ancestor was around, they posed no threat to the Five Great Families, let alone now when he was already dead.
And if this news spreads and is known by other families, wouldn’t the elders of the Elder Council be just bringing trouble upon themselves?
"Can’t figure it out?"
The refined man cackled, "Then why not ponder it slowly underground."
With that, a black tentacle instantly pierced Liu Zheng’s chest and in the blink of an eye, he was sucked dry into a mummy.
Soon, the hall fell silent.
A few minutes ago, the hall was crowded with people, now it was covered in corpses, chilling to the bone.
The other person stood outside, smoking, hearing footsteps behind him, he said without turning his head, "Did you kill them all?"
"What else?"
The refined man walked over laughing, "No wonder they are from a noble family, their strength is much greater than ordinary people, and their flesh quality is not something common people can compare to. Aye, I forgot to leave you some, but they aren’t Awakeners, so you probably aren’t interested, correct?"
Gong Bo then turned around, glanced at him, and said, "I see you’re really hungry, you can even stomach any role. I’m not like you, even if they included Awakeners, I wouldn’t be interested."
Indeed, these two are the top-ranking individuals on the Awakened Association’s most wanted list, the two Quasi-S-Class Awakened.
"Really?"
Yu Jianqiao’s smile suddenly turned cold, "Gong Bo, do you know, I really want to taste your flesh, I bet it must be delicious, right?"
"How interesting."
A cruel smile flashed at the corner of Gong Bo’s lips, "I’m also very interested in your superpower, wanna give it a try?"
Their eyes clashed, the surrounding air seemed to freeze, filled with killing intent.
"Hahaha."
Yu Jianqiao suddenly laughed, "Gong Bo, you’re still the same, can’t take a joke at all."
"Is that so?"
Gong Bo said ambiguously, glancing at the hall behind, "These people are from a noble family, killing them won’t make those old folks happy."
"Afraid of what?"
Yu Jianqiao said indifferently, "They need us right now, as long as we don’t touch their family members, at most they will blabber a bit, but it will be just air. And one Liu Family isn’t enough, I need to kill more people."
"What did you say?"
Gong Bo stared at him in surprise.
Killing the Liu Family isn’t enough? He wants to kill more noble family members?
"Do you want to be controlled for life?"
Yu Jianqiao’s smile turned cold.
Gong Bo was momentarily stunned.
"Being treated like a dog, locked up when not needed, only let out when necessary, do you enjoy such days?"
Yu Jianqiao’s eyes showed infinite hatred, "I wish to shred every single person from the Su Family into pieces, especially that bitch surnamed Su. Only then can I quell my rage!"
Gong Bo took a deep breath.
The bitch he mentioned was naturally Ice Emperor, one of the three S-Class Awakened.
Frankly speaking, he also wanted to devour her superpower.
Over the years, he had devoured many Ice Element superpower users, but their mastery over the Ice Element was too superficial.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be only one Ice Emperor in the world.
If he could devour her, he would become the Ice Emperor!
But it’s clear that the Su Family would never allow that to happen. Even the other two S-Class Awakened wouldn’t let him succeed.
And in a one-on-one scenario, no matter how confident he is, he couldn’t guarantee to take down the target within a short period. When the Su Family arrives, he would surely die.
"You too, hate the Su Family to death, right?"
Yu Jianqiao said sinisterly.
"So you want to take this opportunity to kill more noble family members and boost your strength?"
"Exactly."
Yu Jianqiao said, "Rest assured, we are still useful now. Even if they know, they wouldn’t dare touch us, they may even help to cover up. Just like these dead Liu Family members, believe it or not, they would say it was done by that Chen guy."
Gong Bo froze for a moment and then nodded.
He believed.
Of course, he believed.
"So?"
Yu Jianqiao reverted to his earlier demeanor, "These next few days, let’s seize the chance to boost our strength. With the beast tide breaking out, it’s making our job easier, no need to run around like before. As for Chen Fan, we’ll deal with him in a few days."
