“Now, release all your remaining pet beasts, and you might have a chance to live.”
On the ground, Qian Er looked up at the Wen family's old ancestor, a smile on his face.
The Wen family's old ancestor's expression was uncertain. His other pet beasts? If he could release them, he would have done so already.
Qi Kunshan was an existence of the same level as him. Although he had schemed against Qi Kunshan, the old codger's desperate counterattack was not to be underestimated. It directly severely injured all of his remaining pet beasts. Fortunately, they didn't die on the spot and could still be saved, but they definitely had no combat ability now.
He also hadn't expected that the Frost Radiance Bone Dragon's strength would be so great. How many years had he been sentenced by the law?!
Now, releasing his other pet beasts would be useless; it would only add a few more corpses. But if he didn't release them, he would die here and now.
Seeing Qian Er's increasingly fierce gaze, the Wen family's old ancestor's mind raced. Finally, a flattering smile appeared on his face.
This was his old trick. Back when he was controlled by those aristocratic families, he used this same expression to deceive them, only saying that he would endure them for the time being, and make plans after figuring out how many years he had spent in prison and what was going on with this guy.
The Wen family's old ancestor respectfully bowed to Qian Er.
“Great King, you jest…”
He had originally planned to have a good chat with Qian Er, trying to find a way out with words, not mentioning releasing his other pet beasts at all. But Qian Er was simply too lazy to talk to him. The Frost Radiance Bone Dragon's massive claw suddenly pressed down, turning the Wen family's old ancestor, along with his bewildered expression, into a pile of minced meat.
“You are not as good as the Wang family; you still haven't figured out the situation.”
Qian Er stood in front of the pile of minced meat and the slightly changed pet beast space, shaking his head helplessly. This old codger seemed to have had his brain ruined by being in prison, or perhaps the lack of information was too severe, making him unable to see the situation clearly. He actually dared to妄想 (wàngxiǎng - presumptuously hope/desire) to find a way out under his hands.
It was just a pity about his other pet beasts. He didn't know if they were dead or what, but there would naturally be an answer after his secret realm appeared.
The impact of this True King battle was extremely small, because as soon as the Xuan Ice Horned Dragon appeared, it faced the extremely strengthened Frost Radiance Bone Dragon. It was torn in two almost instantly, without even having the chance to use its skills.
This resulted in not much damage to the surrounding buildings. As for the people, the Qi family had few neighbors. After all, the Qi family's family style was like that. Being a neighbor of the Qi family meant that you might accidentally bump into a few young masters of the Qi family at any time. How could you survive that?
After the battle, the greatest damage to the city was actually caused by the Frost Radiance Bone Dragon descending from the sky.
“Go in and kill all the Qi family members.”
Qian Er did not leave any pet beasts to protect himself; he released all of them.
Tens of thousands of ghost soldiers, led by the four Ghost Kings, surrounded the Qi mansion impenetrably. The Blood-Burning Saint took the lead, piercing through the entire Qi mansion in the blink of an eye. The Frost Radiance Bone Dragon danced gracefully in the air, scattering snowflakes that brought death. The Other Shore Flower sneakily found a place to hide, unscrupulously opening its Dream Realm, stirring up illusion and reality.
As for the Myriad Transformation Demon, it couldn't understand overly complex instructions, so Qian Er had it transform into the appearance of the Blood-Burning Saint, following behind the Blood-Burning Saint to help. Although its level was low, it could still be of some use with its terrifying physical qualities.
In an instant, those Qi family members who had just regained consciousness let out bursts of screams and angry curses.
But these noisy sounds quickly subsided, signifying the complete disappearance of the last of the four families.
“Heh heh, you brat, the harmonious society that I painstakingly built has been destroyed by you like this.”
Just then, an old and weak laughter sounded beside Qian Er.
Qian Er turned his head and saw a Qi Kunshan radiating white light standing beside him at some point, looking at the Qi family's ruined mansion with a face full of melancholy.
“This is… a soul? Or not a soul. This state is quite interesting.”
Qian Er frowned as he sized up Qi Kunshan. Although he didn't have a deep understanding of pet beasts, he was, after all, a True King of the Darkness system, so he was very familiar with souls. The Qi Kunshan in front of him was clearly not a soul.
“This is the embodiment of the law, but it is about to disappear now. Before my death, my Golden Law Xie Zhi desperately used the last Golden Law, materializing the harmonious society in my heart in order to restrain those guys, but it was shattered by you.”
Qi Kunshan shook his head regretfully.
“Your harmonious society means forcibly stipulating what everyone must do with laws, without any room for transgression? Aren't you too obsessed with that?”
Qian Er stared at Qi Kunshan with wide eyes. He had thought of many things, but he never imagined that this was the harmonious society in Qi Kunshan's heart.
“Heh heh, it's just that I, the old man, am about to dissipate now, or else I would have to argue with you. Come on, follow me.”
Glancing at Qian Er, Qi Kunshan's eyes clearly said that he was too lazy to talk to this unlearned and unskilled musclehead. Then, he beckoned to Qian Er, leading him towards the dock.
Behind him, the other pet beasts that had just emerged from the ruins of the Qi mansion wanted to follow, but Qian Er stopped them. Anyway, it was just a flesh and blood avatar. Qian Er had no intention of going back anyway, so he might as well go and see what the old Qi man wanted to say.
Qi Kunshan's figure became increasingly dim. Finally, he led Qian Er to the dock, and the two sat down on the reclaimed stone on the shore, facing a cross-sea bridge.
“I have five older sisters and one older brother.”
Looking at the cross-sea bridge in a daze, Qi Kunshan suddenly spoke. Qian Er didn't respond, but quietly listened.
“My family is from the Qi family's main line. My father was the last patriarch of the old Qi family. The position of the Qi family's patriarch had to be a male, but my mother gave birth to five daughters in a row, causing my father and mother to almost become obsessed with wanting a male child, after all, who would be willing to hand over such a large family fortune to others?”
“My five older sisters grew up in this kind of family atmosphere. Later, my older brother was born. He was a good-for-nothing, to be honest, a spoiled good-for-nothing. Compared to me, he only had the advantage of being born first.”
Qi Kunshan said calmly, but Qian Er couldn't help but laugh when he heard him emphasize that his older brother was a good-for-nothing, drawing a dissatisfied look from Qi Kunshan.
Glaring at Qian Er, Qi Kunshan continued to tell his past story.
“But even if he was a good-for-nothing, he was still the apple of my father and mother's eye. Of course, my five older sisters didn't dare to provoke him. Just then, I was born.”
